His Explanation Of His Scratched
Bloody Hands Was Unsatisfactory.

life work to annoy and humlliate her.
She loved him with an unfaltering de-
votion, as was shown by her letters to
him, made public after the catas-
trophe. In those letters, which were
numerous, she pleaded for his affection
and confidence In manner that should
have melted the hardest heart. But
the dukes heart, If he had such an
organ, was composed of concrete. No
more pathetic documents than the let
ters of the duchess ever were read by
human eyes.
She was the mother of ten children,
and was not permitted to have any
voice In their education or upbringing.
The duke regulated that, as he regu-
lated every detail of household man
ngement. He engaged governess after
governess, and finally found one who
suited him exactly. She was a Madame
Deluzy, Of whom the duke became
enamored. This Deluzy was In COM
plete authority, next to the duke, and
even the duchess was expected to take
orders from her. At last this condl-
ton became intolerable, even to the
long-suffering duchess, and she, backed
by her father, insisted upon the dis
missal of the governess. The king and
queen used their influence In the mat
ter, and Deluzy had to go. And this
defeat stirred up all the bile In the
dukes bilious system.
Such was the state OF affairs when
me family returned to Paris from
Vaux. The duchess and the children
retired to their various chambers. The
duke went forth to make some visits,
and returned home about midnight. He
went to his apartment, which was
separated from that of his wife by a
yestlbule, dismissed his valet, and the
mansion was sunk In silence and re-
pose. About four o'clock in the morn
Ing fearful outcries were heard from
the room of the duchess. They were
followed by violent ringing OF the bell.
Various servants ran to the room, but
the doors were locked on the inside.
They heard groans and subdued
screams, and the trampling of feet,
rs though somebody was being pur-

DIDN'T RELY ON GUESSWORK
Youngster Found Out for Himself Just
What Was the Hidden Force in
Teachers Bicycle.

A certain country school teacher in
endeavoring to explain TO his class
what compressed air was, brought his
bicycle into the room and leaned 1t up
against the wall.
"Now," he remarked, "under the out
er covering Of that back wheel there
Is hidden force. What Is it?'

The boy tried again, as did nearly
every member of the class, but without
success.
At length one Of the youngsters, who
had been making close inspection OF
the machine, turned on the teacher
with beaming face.

After commenting the youngster,
the teacher asked how he discovered

"Why," was the astounding reply,

HATS HERE AND TO COME
Information on the Subject Of tho
Seasons Millinery That viii Be
Found Interesting.

Many women are ready for their
second hats of the season, others have
just selected their first, and still 9TH
ers have their first yet to select. To
all three classes, however, the subject
of millinery is an interesting one.
Embroidery is the thing in the way
of trimming. A combination of ma
terials is used In many cases to de-
velop one design. On brown hat a
little daisy design has its petals en-
broidered in ribbon, while the leaves
stems and centers are In silk.
A novel bonnet of velvet has stream
ers reaching to the shoulders. The
streamers are made of several strands
OF knotted worsted.
Simple trimmings, such as single
rose, an ornament made of feathers or
fur, real or imitation, are most effec-
tive.
A novel feature is a neckpiece with
the ends finished to form small change
purses. These are arranged so that
they shall be decorative as well as
practical.

THE RED HANDS OF THE DUKE.

IN THE morning of August 1S,
" 1S47, there was committed In Paris
n crime which shocked the world, and
contributed largely to the revolution Of
1S4S and the downfall of Louis Phi
lippe.
On the previous evening the Duke
and Duchess de Choiseul- Praslin re-
turned to their Paris home, the Hotel
Sebastiani, from their country resi-
dence. the chateau Of Vaux, near
Melun. This historic chateau was
built by Fouquet, Louis XIv's famous
minister of finance, whose complete
ruin and death In prison followed n
spectacular career. The duke was the
representative Of an ancient and hon
orable family, and held his head high.
Although powerful and influential be-
cause of his station and wealth, he
was not popular, for he was insolent
and overbearing, and had the idea that
this planet was created for his par
ticular use, and that its inhabitants
were designed to be his servants. The
duchess also was of a proud and ia
nous family, her father being Count
Sebastiani, one of the great Napoleon s
famous generals. Although proud
enough, the duchess was amiable and
agreeable, and was much beloved.
For years she had been martyr.
The noble duke seemed to make 1t his

But the woman who chooses such
a frock, while she will have the sat

that its opportunities are limited. 1t

Satin Leading Other Fabrics.
On the other hand, satin in thick
weave seems to offer itself as fab
ric for the majority Of activities that
fill up the life of the American wom-
an. 1t can be stretched far enough to
take the place of coat suit If one
must be economical.
The dressmakers are using 1t for
morning frocks worn by schoolgirls,
for afternoon occasions that range
from weddings to restaurant dancing,
for informal evening frocks that serve
not only the woman who has few OPP
portunities and less desire for the
gorgeous gowns that the smart set
wears, but also for the fashionable
woman who wishes, for time, to
avoid the brilliancy Of splendid eve
ming attire.
Along with velvet, 1t forms the
foundation for the most Oriental and
medieval ball gown, but in its simpler
forms 1t is in dull colors and merely
trimmed with chain stitchery and bit
of metallic thread. Gray has taken

Sir John Jellicoe, the latest recipient
Of the greatly coveted British Order OF

train journey he took one bitterly cold
night on local line In Scotland.
His only fellow traveller in the same
compartment was Scotsman, and he
had just drawn his flask from his
pocket when the train stopped at n
little country station and the door
opened.

collector, with a longing look at the
flask.

The ticket collector looked up and

New York.-The people who make
and sell blouses are complaining today
and the demand for these garments Is
falling Off because the one-piece gown
has been found so satisfying. and the
top-coat so comfortable. SO they are.
The coat suit was only intended as u
strictly street garment, but 1t has been
adopted as a costume that serves all
purposes, until one retires for the
night, and from the way that hundreds
of women wear it, one feels they are
deprived of actual happiness by hav-
ing to discard 1t when the light Is
turned off.
A falling off In blouses is always
threatened as each season advances;
and each season sees them selling like
peanuts ut circus. Whatever one
wears, one Is brought up on the tradi-
ton that certain number of blouses
are necessary to happiness; they fit
In where other garments fail to salts
fy. The men who make them, and
nothing else, in New York. say
they cannot take another order for six
months, and that for six years they
have not had a breathing spell even
between the seasons.
Smart women who used to order
their blouses from Paris, because Of
the exquisite needlework. have found
this method made almost impossible

Distinction In Frocks.


No one who Is going out to shop can
fail to be bewildered by the variety of
frOcks that are offered, and wonder II
they are all intended for the same Oc-
casions. Velvet, satin, serge-very lit
tie of this, however--velour, medieval
hpmespun, and chiffon follow each
other In rapid succession through the
hands Of those who sell.
And when all is seen, satin Is usu-
ally chosen. The reason for this uni
versal choice Is that ii Is the lightest
fabric to be worn under topcoat in
the open and the smartest to serve in
the house. Fashion allows satin to be
employed with more frequency than
any other material except chiffon, but
the former Is better choice than the
latter for no especial reason, unless 1t
be that we are tired of chiffon as we
are of taffeta. No special pleading can
make one turn to that silk today for
any purpose.
The really new note struck in fab
RIGS for frocks Ia the homespun that
IN an imitation Of the kind spun by
the good wives of the middle ages,
for they were not above such work,
you remember: one of the proudest
noblewomen OF England was noted for
the excellence of her cow-mllking.
She allowed nc henchman to NEEDLE
with this part Of her many duties.
The master weavers of Paris brought
out this rough, serviceable and really
lovely material year after the war
started, possibly for economic reasons,
and the French women saw its virtues
at once. II pleased them, even the
smartest of them, TO adopt the mate
rial of other, and simpler days when
barons were at war all the hours of
life, and the designers, falling in with
the scheme of simple things, invented
those twelfth century frocks that were
worn for nearly three centuries by
their ancestors.

Slavic Designs.

That early fashion In embroidery
where thick worsted threads were EN-
ployed in Slavic designs is still sold in
the shops that cater to large trade,
and there Is something attractive about
its rudeness and elementary attempt
at ornamentation, but 1t is being rap
idly pushed into the chaos of things
that were, by reason of the preferred
method of ornamenting with bullion
threads. This is as Slavic as the 9TH
er fashion, but 1t suits satin better.
1t Is not held for evening gowns, but
bits of 1t are spread over wide range
Of garments.
BY the way, 1t is well to put your
thoughts on fanciful chain stitchery,
for 1t Is TO be in the forefront of fash
ion during the winter.

We do not agree with the paper
of the heart and coal' that the
proposed amendment to the lnl-
tiative and referendum law is
calculated to take anything away
from the people, but rather to
the contrary. Most people re-
member how the Post attempted
to put herd law over that the
farmers did not want, by getting
the required number of sigma
lures almost entirely within the
city of Denver, where such a law
would in no way directly affect
the signer of the petition. Most
people knew, too, that the bill the
Post had advocated so vigorously
was likely to have a Joker in
it somewhere and as they have a.
dopted the principle of voting no
on every bill that they do not
thoroly understand, the herd law
was lost. 1t is safe to say that
had the Post and V. Hoggat not
been interested in a certain pro-
ject in northwestern Colorado
and had it been necessary to get
the signatures from the districts
directly affected by the herd law
it never would have gotten on
the ballot and thus the taxpayers
would have been saved the eX-
pense.
There can be no question but
that Colorado needs a herd law
but it should be a law that will
be equitable and furnish protec .
