which the thief was worsted. In order to escape, he slipped out of his coat, climbed out of a window and dropped to the ground. When his military papers were found, however, the police did not waste any time in locating him in a café and placing him under arrest. LITTLE OLD NEW YORK Women Pay to Learn the Bitter Truth About Their Charms. They May Dress Smartly Ever After. THE TALK OF LONDON Smith, Acquitted, Is Sentenced to One Year Hard Labor.—Judge Makes a Comment. American Killed by Train. Mr. P. G. Robbins, second assistant engineer of the United States Shipping Board steamer Edgemoor, was instantly killed by a freight train last night in the docks at Havre. Owing to darkness, he failed to see an obstruction and stumbled, falling in front of the passing train. Insane Woman Wins Fortune. Dame Fortune plays strange tricks. A widow, Mme. Lombard, an inmate of the Clermont insane asylum, has been informed that she is the winner of a 1,000,000fr. lottery prize of the Crédit National. She greeted the news with: “A million! Pceuh! I have plenty of millions that I will never even spend.” Mme. Lombard was placed in the asylum last May when found mildly insane and penniless. Steps are now being taken to invest her new fortune so that she will benefit from the income. She is to be moved to a private asylum. Cousin Threatens Death. “I have just seen my doctor, and he says I have only three months to live.” André F. Patriquin, thirty-three years old, living in Paris, said yesterday when he called upon his cousin, Mlle. Henriette Goriali, an Armenian, twenty-one years old. “Say your prayers, I am going to kill you.” The girl shouted, and a man ran into the room in time to prevent her from being stabbed with a long knife. Patriquin was arrested. HOTELS & RESORTS WINTER SEASON AT BIARRITZ BRACING CLIMATE MOUNTAINS AND SEA Average winter Temperature 55 deg. Fahr.

Women who would learn to appear at their best, before her to have their personality prescribed for. The client first fills a questionnaire. She tells the kind of town she lives in, the sort of life she leads, what her dress needs are, whether she has any physical defects and in general how she would like to look. The consultant outlines a course of dress treatment on little cards that she slips into the purse for reference in shopping. The cards list all manner of do's and don'ts in apparel for all sorts of occasions. A glance reminds her whether she can wear yellow for evening, what sort of neckline is most becoming and whether wide girdles are taboo. She receives a chart showing an outline figure on which an “X” marks the points to watch—a shoulder held high or weight that may be concealed by carefully-chosen lines. The consultant makes a special study of the personality of the subject and suggests how it may be brought out or subdued for the most pleasing

Firstly there is the business or professional woman who has little time to shop. Secondly there is the small-town woman who comes to New York once, or twice a year and feels that there is something wrong about her clothes —that she fails to look smart.” New York has long known the professional shopper. More recently “fashion advisers” have been provided by some department stores. But they aid customers only in making the purchases at hand. The dress consultant aims to lay down general principles to guide until styles change and to help her client to develop the knack of shopping for herself. In doing this, she analyses each client pitilessly but constructively. What it amounts to is a Bitter Truth Service. Women pay to be told things that coming from their best friends would result in mayhem. Perhaps the service may be extended from dress to more intimate details. The advertisements for mouthwashes and

Women pay to be told things that coming from their best friends would result in mayhem. Perhaps the service may be extended from dress to more intimate details. The advertisements for mouthwashes and depilatories beginning, “Even your best friend won't tell you—” suggest that here is a wide and lucrative field. A phenomenon of the times is the passing of the beautiful cloak model. Now mannequins plain—sometimes even downright homely—are seen in the showrooms. Women are not disappointed in a dress that looks better, on the purchaser than on the mannequin. That is one reason. Another is the desire of the dressmakers to attract attention to the pretty frock rather than the pretty face. Another change occurs in the shop windows. Gone are the pink-and-white wax ladies of yesteryear. In their places are the curious gilded "art models" that show the influence of the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. ON THE RIVIERA.

Her mother insists that knickers are at least as modest as short dresses. She has sued the Jeffersonville Board of Education. The trial will be held in a neighboring city because school officials think that newspaper reports prejudice Jeffersonville citizens. The sixteen-year-old daughter of a Nebraska minister was sent home from high-school because she refused to wear bloomers in the girls’ gymnasium class. The Rev. D. K. Smith appealed to the Attorney General and obtained a ruling that his daughter could not be compelled to wear bloomers. High school girls at Wichita, Kansas, have been ordered to roll up their stockings and lengthen their skirts or else wear bloomers. At Arcadia, Kansas, the School Board ordered that dresses must come six inches below the knee and that girls must not use rouge or lipstick. Boys were told to wear overalls

At Arcadia, Kansas, the School Board ordered that dresses must come six inches below the knee and that girls must not use rouge or lipstick. Boys were told to wear overalls or trousers with suspenders—no belts. A legal ruling was sought here also. The County Attorney decided that a School Board has no right to dictate the dress of individuals. “When Addison Bailey stepped into the room with his shirt-collar open and wearing thin white trousers that were almost transparent, my patience was exhausted,” explains a woman teacher of mathematics at the University of Texas. She told him to go home and put on more clothes. The student newspaper protested. “If girls can show their patella, why can’t boys expose their clavicle?” asked the Daily Texan. Boyish bobs were bad enough. But when girls at Santa Ana High School started wearing skirts with hip pockets in them, three young Californian males launched a fashion that the girls could not imitate. They grew whiskers. In Oklahoma City, the girls decided to have something to say about the dress of boyfriends. They have agreed to accept no dates from boys who use lipsticks, marcel their hair or let their socks hang over their shoetops. Even in New York, youth must watch its socks. Sophomores at Washington Square College have ordered Freshmen to wear white cotton socks and not to attempt to talk to

The trial that stirred all England is over. The Assize Court at Maidstone, is empty and silent. The crowd that witnessed one of the most dramatic trials of recent years has dispersed, and the acquitted man, an old Etonian, once an undergraduate at Cambridge, and also in the past an officer in the Dragon Guards, has gone to serve twelve months at hard labor for being in possession of firearms with intent to endanger life. Derham, the man who died on the night of the killing, at Stella Maris, was the imprisoned man’s schoolmate. He was three years Smith’s senior. Like Smith, he went to the University of Cambridge. It was there, so it is said, that the friendship was begun between the two men that was to lead to such fearful consequences. One of the most noteworthy features of the case was the contrast between the emotional state of the crowd, and even counsel engaged, and the cold, just imperturbable demeanor of Justice Avory. Curiously enough, the Judge and defending counsel were also at Cambridge. The former in 1870 and the latter in 1882. The summation seemed to point the

Curiously enough, the Judge and defending counsel were also at Cambridge. The former in 1870 and the latter in 1882. The summation seemed to point the jury to the verdict of manslaughter. The Judge gave them two very difficult definitions of murder to consider. When they retired, the twelve men were faced with a terrible and complicated question. It took them two hours and ten minutes to answer it. The verdict of “Not Guilty” had scarcely passed the Foreman's lips than the court was shaken with the confused sounds of handclapping, cheers, and the hysterical laughter of women. It took many minutes to quell the din. Through it all, Justice Avory, in his scarlet robes, sat grimly quiet, with pale face and hands. When, eventually, he passed the sentence of twelve months, he said; “In view of the verdict, I must admit that you had arms in your possession for the purpose of endangering no other life but your own. I must admit that. I have my own opinion about it.” When a ten-year-old boy was charged at Faversham (Sussex) with setting fire to a straw stack, it was explained that he was in company with three other boys. The other lads were not charged, but were in court. The boy admitted the offense. Mrs. Herbert Jones, who presided over the Bench, made all the boys

Mrs. Herbert Jones, who presided over the Bench, made all the boys line up in front of her and say, “I promise I will not play with fire again.” Immediately afterwards, one of the boys said, “What about the Fifth of November?” Mrs. Jones told them that they thought they had had quite enough of bonfires. The boy was discharged. English churchmen, men of science and mechanicians met at St. Albans yesterday to celebrate the six hundredth anniversary of the election of Richard of Wallingford as Abbot in the monastery there. A skilled mechanic and an able mathematician, he studied astrology for the sake of astronomy and invented his famous “rectangulus” to measure the movements of the planets. It gave to him the key to the use of the right angle in measurement, as shown in his treatise “De Sinibus et Arcubus,” which contains all the principles of trigonometry. The Abbot was the son of a blacksmith and he studied at “Gloster Hall,” Oxford, now embodied in Worcester College. Admitted as a monk at St. Albans in 1314 when he was twenty-three, he had as companions in the then recently founded College of Merton such men as Mauduit and Breton, pioneers in mathematics and Merle, the first, so far as known, to

The story of a man's fatal persistence in extreme vegetarianism was told at the inquest at Crowhurst, Sussex, on the body of Lieutenant Colonel Félix Call, aged forty-three, formerly of the Royal Irish Regiment. Medical evidence was given that Colonel Call died from heart failure, due to exhaustion following starvation, and a verdict was returned accordingly. A witness stated that the dead man’s breakfast consisted of an orange, grapes and milk. His largest meal of the day was a piece of raw scraped carrot, beetroot, lettuce, and cabbage leaves, one potato, two biscuits, and a small quantity of butter. Colonel Call refused all animal foods. A man who is totally deaf and has an artificial leg has been granted a motor-driving licence by the Bedfordshire County Council. When the application was made, the Licences Committee was of opinion that it was against the public interest to grant a licence. The Ministry of Transport was appealed to and agreed with this view. It replied, however, when asked whether it would bear any of the costs if legal proceedings were taken by the applicant against the Council for not granting the licence, that it could not accept

Henri Baudoin achevait sur le total de 295.000 traites, a été remportée par des aquarelles originales de Stanislas Garnier, représentant des paysages de la Gironde et des Landes. Les défenseurs, qui sont naturellement les amoureux de la peinture moderne, qu'on a coutume de qualifier d’« avant-garde », se trouvaient réunis, hier, dans la salle où M. Alphonse Bellier et l’expert Joseph Hessosse leur présentent des toiles signées de ces peintres qui les ont conquis. Un coup de pichon, de Tintoret, fut adjugé à 1.150 fr.; une
