The hair which usually goes to make the

there is a bouilloane and the lower portion
has also a bouillonnc and a pleated volant.
Nothing puts the dot on the i of finish
to an elesant ball dress so much as a strlish
coiflure arranged to suit the shape of the
hrad and the contour of tne features. In
fact, it is an mdispcnsabip adjunct to even
ins dress and is justly reganled as the out

exquisite floral ornaments which the ait of
to-day fashions so like nature, herself,
make charming decoration (or the hair,

Another coiflure suitable for a young girl
is accomplished by taking a strand of hair,
extending from the lorehead to back of the
ear, and waving it, combing backward.

small chijnon, crimping the ends in curls,

Snm NVr Winter Purs.
A flurry of snow makes one look longingly
at the handsome fur garments displayed in
windows and show rooms, and thouch we
may not be able to purchase a sable mantle
fit for an impress, we can at least revel in
the beauties and iliseover the new styles go
so that if Fortune should chance to smile
upon us wc would know just what to choose.
A gorgeous sapphire blue cloth coat,
reaching to the edge of the skirt, had a full
lining of ur. It na slaihes at the back
from the waist line down, and was double
breasted in front, having wide revera of
black fox reaching to the waist The entire
garment ras likewise bordered with the
soft fur.
The plaited Russian collarettes in seal
skin are decidedly elegant, either with or
without tabs in front. Persian lamb like
wise makes up well in this style. All the
new sealskin jackets are made with loose
backs, which are not pretty though stylish,
and have as one great advantage, a superflu

over such a garment wheu tight fitting
modes once"inore reign.

THE VOICE OF
A STORY OF
PARTL
"Upon my word it's too bad I" exclaimed
Mr. Mainwarinc, as having wished every
body pood morning he sat down to the
break:ast table, and proceeded, beiore com
mencing that meal, to glance through his
letters according to custom. "It really is
too bad !" he repeated, crimsoning with in
dignation, and giving an angry stamp of
his foot, in so doing treading on the loot of
Jumbo, his wile's pet pug. and causing that
much-pampered animal to give utterance to
a loud veil and retreat larther under the
table to the shelter of his mistress petti-
coals.
".My dear," said Mrs. Mainwaring, paus
ing in the act ot pouring out the squire's
coffee, "what is the matter now? Nothing
irong with Sunbeam's little foal. I do
trust."
"'So, thank, my dear, not so bad as
that," answered her husband; "but quite
bad enough, in all conscience. It's that
dreadlul iellow Wilder at the Lea Farm
again. I wish to goodness lie had never
come near the place, with all mv heart."
"Horrid man!" agreed Mrs. Mainwaring.
"I can't bear tie sight of him. "What has

"Done?" exclaimed her husband. "Why I

-'Here we have the hounds coming here
on Thursday, and if they find in Night

gestively catty trimming to the richest and
rarest of sables.
The Pelerine From Paris.
Have you seen the new miniature peler
ine? They call it pelerine ia Paris, but it'i
more like a big collar with a boa hanging
from it. It is made of a little bit ot a
shoulder cape a cape that just reaches the
shoulders, "but doesn't cover them. This
cape, usually made of black velvet, is trim
med with white Mongolian fur.
From the cape rises the highest rolling
collar you ever saw, also in black velvet,
and also trimmed with white fur. Then
two long bands of velvet, about four inches
wide, are fastened to the collar in front and
fall loosely therefrom to the cronnd. First,
however, the velvet is turned over at the
top several inches before it is gathered to
the collar, so that it forms a little jabot.
The outside edges, the bottom and the top
edge, which falls over, are all trimmed
with fur. Five little tails hang from the
bottom.
Fair Fads of Fashion.
Diahokw are decidedly In bad farm in
mourning.
Black, undressed kids are In better taste
than the dressed or glace.
The moat stylish wrap for a young lady In
mourninz is a triplo cape of crape.
Stmctlt spcakinjr, sealskin is not correct
in mourning. Astrakhan and Persian lamb
are allowable.
Ultra-fashionables wear black silk: lin
gerie and ono stylish widow goes so far as to

Gofterid crepon is a specialty for mourn

perfectly. Silk-warp cote d'cheval. a 48-inch

There is a rnmor that the muff is to be

chain. The chains which will be m(wt sought
arc those to which our prandmothers used

band In a. Damage Case.
Chicago, Dec. 15. An envelope con
taining the.ardent love missives alleged to
have been written by Edward Plows, the
confectioner, to the wife of his friend, Mr.
Christian, which the latter expected to use
effectively in his suit for 550,000 damages
against the manufacturer of sweetmeats,
was to-day stolen from the office of Attor
ney G. H. Willett by a smooth-looking
young man under the guise of a reporter.
The pilferer visited the attorney's office
Tuesday and made an Appointment to come
again, and, in his alleged capacity of news
paper man, imike a copy of each letter in
the bundle. The papers were duly turned
over to the "reporter" as promised.
It is supposed he intended to leave the
attorney's office at noon, expecting that the
latter would go out for luncheon. Mr.
Wilier, however, remained at his desk un
til 2 o'clock, and by that time the aman
uensis had no further excuse for remain
ing. Accordingly, hebnttoned up his coat
and walked over "to Mr. Willet with the
envelope. As he reached it out, his hand
trembled, and Mr. Willet said, sharply,
"Are all the letters here?" "Oh, yes," re
sponded the fellow, moving toward the
door. The moment he reached the threshold
he broke into a run. Mr. Willet hurriedly
glanced at the envelope, saw the letters had
been replaced by worthless papers and im
mediately followed, but the culprit had
vanished!

and try and bring him to reason?" sug-
?:ested his wife. "Surely.my.dear, he would
isten to you."
"Listen to me?" ejaculated the 'Squire.
"Not be. Besides, I know perfectly well
what would be the result. He would meet
my .arguments with some of his Itenublicnn
sentiments and I should lose my temper and
make a fool of nivself."
Well," sighed his wile, "it's a very
great pity, I'm sure. I only wish I knew
what ns best to be done. But never
mind now, dear," she added soothingly,
"get on with your breaklast and then after
wards yon can speak to Higgins again on
the subject and perhaps you will be able to
devise some plan between you for bringing
this horrid man Wilder to reason."
"And, pray, who may this horrid man
Wilder be?" inquired a young and very
pretty girl who at this juncture entered the
room and sat herself down at the breakfast
table, after kissing both Mr. Mainwaring
and his wife lovingly and wishing them
"Good morning."
The 'Squire looked affectionately into the
fair questioner's face ere Jie answered her.
"Dout ask, Gladys," said he, laughingly;
"don't ask it you love me. He has already
spoiled my breakfast for me, and I feel per
iectly certain that were I to teli you all
about him he would spoil yours, and that
would be a great pity, eh, my pretty niece?"
"It would, indeed," retorted the girl,
"lor I have such an appetite as never was.
Joking apart, though, I am really curious.
Uncle William," she continued, "so Iwili
compromise with you eat my breakfast
first and you shall tell me afterward. Don't
vou think that a very fair arrangement,
sir?"
The 'Squire asreed at once to the terms,as,
indeed, be wpuld have to anything proposed
by his favorite niece.
The onlv child of his one sister, lately
dead, Gladys Onslow had taken up her per
manent abode at Carlton Towers only three
weeks ago, during which short period she
had managed to convert every individual
member ot the establishment into being hor

who, childless as they were, quite looked
upon her as their daughter.
As lor the 'Squire, he was perfectly help
less without her, and Miss Gladys was his
constant companion wherever he went.
He declared she was a better judge of
stock than his bailifi himself, and as for her
knowledge of horseflesh, who was there
about the place who could compete'with
her? And bow she rode, too! Many and
many a time, when accompanying his niece
in her rides, did her uncle regret that his
salad days were over, and that he was no'
longer able to pilot her over this place and
that instead of looking on from the broad
back of his favorite cob, while she larked
about at her own free will, for she was un
commonly fond of riding over a country,
was Miss Gladys.
As her groom said, "The fence was never
made yet that could stop his young lady
when the hounds were running."
True to his promise, alter breakfast the
'Squire unbosomed himself to his niece
with regard to his refractory tenant at the
Lea Farm "the only farm, by the way, my
dear," he added, "where I hare not intro
duced you, lor the very good reason why,
because J have such a strong personal dis
like to its tenant. I even avoid shooting
over the place as much as possible, because
I can't bear the sight of the iellow. .Just
fancy that, my dear, afraid even to talk
over" my own property my own property,
forsooth! Nasty, cantankerous wretch!"
wound up the 'Squire in his wrath. "1
wish somebody would knock him on the
head. I do, indeed!"
"JFIe, for shame, sirl" exclaimed his niece,
laughing, putting her pretty hand over his
mouth as she spoke.
"And his name is Wilder?" she con
tinued, "and I knew such a dear old .man'
ot that name years ago he was one of poor
papa's tenants, indeed.
"I wonder, now," mused she, "could it
be the some man? He left to go to Aus
tralia, so I understood for I was only a lit
tle girl at the time. And we were such
friends, too!
"Uncle," exclaimed the girl, a flash of
excitement comlnz over her iaee,-"if' you
don't mind, I will ride over this very morn

you only succeed in your undertaking, I

of it, I believe I did hear that this objec

my shoulders like the old man ot the sea."

The stable clock was just striking 1:30,
simultaneously with the rumbling of the
gong announcing the fact ibat luncheon was
ready, as Gladys Onslow with ber attendant
groom came cantering through the park.
The 'Squire, who had been waiting for her
for the last half hour, seized a hat and
rushed hastily out into the utable yard,
where he knew she would dismount, to
await her coming with mingled feelings of
delight at her return and curiosity to know
how she had succeeded on her mission of
diplomaoy with his refractory tenant.
"Here I am, uncle, safe and sound, you
see, and I've had, oh! such a lark! Brill
iant's legs are fall of thorns, I fear, poor
dear," exclaimed happy Gladys, her face
flushed with pleasure and excitement, and
looking prettier than ever.

ministered her usual hug she took her

"Why, by Jove! I do verily believe
vou've got over that old curmudgeon, you
artful little minx, you!" exclaimed her
uncle, in great glee, hurrying her into the
house as quickly as possible, all agog to
hear her netts.
Through some back passages they went,
and then opening a green baize door found
themselves in the entrance hall.
"Come'now," said the 'Squire, as they en
tered the" dining room, where Mrs. Main
wariug was waiting for them; ''I won't wait
a moment longer, so tell your aunt and me
all about the result of your ride this in
stant, miss, or I'll retract my promise of
the diamond bracelet I made this morn
ing." "Listen, then, ladles and gentlemen or
rather, I should say, aunt and uncle," said
the fair Gladys, standing in the center of
the hearthrtig and raising her whip to in
sure silence. . .
"What should you say if, paying a visri
to the Lea Farm to-morrow morning, vou.
were to find that every vestige of barbed
wire had disappeared from its fences?
Wouldyou allow that the persuasive pow
ers of your devoted niece were somewhat
of a higher order than usual?"
"By Jove, indeed I should," burst forth
her uncle. "But you don't mean to say it's
a fact, Gladys, that you have actually got
that old bear to do as yon say, do you?
"Indeed I do, uncle, and he's not a bear
at all, allow me to say only rather rough,
that's all, poor man. Old John Wilder Is
as good a' fellow as ever breathed if you
only humor him a little as you must in

"Well, wonders will never cease, that s

can't for the life of me imagine."
"I will tell yon," said Miss Gladys.

A. Daughter rinds Her Mother After Eleven
Tears, Both Searching.
BlNGHAMTOX, N.Y., Dec. 15. ISpetitf
Fortune lias smiled on Clara Dubois,
who has an interesting history. When 5
years old lier father died and her mother
placed her in an Orphans' Home in this
city. She was adopted a year later by Dr.
A. D. Simonds, of Etna, whose family name
she assumed. Her real mother subsequently
married Girard Webb and tried to find
traces of her child, but it was against the
rules of the orphanage to furnish a clue to
the girl's whereabouts. Sho mou-ned the
child as dead and expected never to see her
again.
A week ago a beautiful lady stranger
stepped from an in-bound train, and, with
the aid of the police, sought out Mrs. Webb.
It proved to be a Ions lost daughter, no-r a
girl of 10. It now transpires that Clara is
heiress to Sl8,000lwhich she receives when
she becomes ot age. Her foster lather died
ten vears ago. Mrs. Simonds died several
years later, leaving a will bequeathing to
Clara her entire fortune. Miss Dubois only
recently learned that she was an adopted
child, but she immediately began a search
for her mother and -finally located her in
this city. The meeting between the two
was extremely affecting.
