Insurance against the dishonesty ol employes is a recognized feature of modern commercial life. One of the great corporations carrying on thi* business published an estimate of the amount lost in the year 181)4 by em bezzlement and defalcation. The total loss for the year was put at the enor mous sum of $23,000,000. Immense as this sum is, it does not include the losses, undoubtedly large in the aggre gate, which have never been made pub lic by the individuals or firms defraud ed. It is fur from encouraging, says the New York Ledger, to note also that this estimate shows an increase of about $7,000,000 over the previous year. Most of this kind of stealing is done by men of good education and at least fair opportunities for honest success. The real cause is the too prevalent haste to gain wealth and enjoy life without hard work—to get something for noth ing. One of the most valuable lessons that con be learned is that everything worth having must be earned by steady, honest effort-. Henry Word Beecher once received a letter from a lad who wanted to find an "easy berth." Mr. Beecher, in reply, after warning the hoy to avoid the law, medicine, the min istry, trade and other forms of industry, liecauseeach involved hard work, ended witJi this exhortation: "Don't work. Don't study. Don't think. None of these are easy. Ob, my son; you have come into a hard world! I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave." A Bangor (Me.) man was sitting in a local drug store recently when he caught a faiut whiff of smoke that ! smelled as though iteaino from burning j woolen. lie got up and looked around, but could And no blaze. As soon as lie , was seated again the odor was again perceptible. lie repeated this operation several times, says a local exchange, and ! at last discovered that he had been sit ting on a spot where the sun wo* brought to a focus by the water bottles in t.ho pharmacist's window. The rays focused in different places on his back i as he changed position and burned little holes each time. The narrow escape from probably fa- ; tal accident by un army lieutenant while experimenting with kites on Gov ernor's island, in New York bay, coupled with a recent disaster to the inventor of a sort of airship, emphasizes the ex traordinary dangers that attend nil at tempts of men to navigate the air. It accentuates, too, the curious fact that in these days men are reviving the ef forts of the ancients to utilize kites as ii means of ascending to commanding altitudes, if, indeed, there is any truth at the bottom of the stories told of some of the ancients. The records of pardons throughout the United States indicate that prison life agrees with wealthy criminals much • less than with those who are poor. It ! seems to be true that the health of wealthy convicts is not infrequently so impaired within a short time that only release from prison will save their lives: : while it is usually the experience of moneyless prisoners that their phys ical condition is considerably improved by the plain fare and regular regime of prison life. In the Kansas state reform school is a 12-year-old incorrigible, Alonzo Ilart, j Jr., whom his parents were at last., after four years of trouble with him, obliged to send him away. lie lias robbed houses and stores and stolen horses. He I>egnn his criminal career ! when eight years old and only shortly out of dresses, and his first escapade was to steal all the Bibles and hymn books from a church. A press dispatch soys that a imir- ! lercr hanged in Kentucky the other Hay wore a sullen look on the gallows Perhaps lie was displeased iil>oue worn later on. Its so mbe mess, however, will be great ly relieved by the introduction of bright-colored trimmings, yellow be ing given the preference. Yellow and black are an ideal combination, if only the rigiit shade of yellow be chosen— neither too light nor yet Joo dark. Trimmings of red and yellow on black arc reported immensely popular across the water, but only the deft and cun ning fingers of the French modiste could successfully treat such a glaring color combination. The handsomest costumes seen thus far are made o? tine silk velvet with trimmings of rich sable, but. as both these materials are very expensive in themselves you can well imagine that when combined in a stylish up-to-date gown the price would be quite beyond the reach of any but those to the purplest of tlie purple born. And so it hap|>ens that the sensible woman who longs for a velvet gown, and yet is obliged to count the dollars, if not the {pennies, buys herself one of the lovely soft velveteens in a dark shade, which, with its modest trimming of narrow bands of fur, makes as gen teel a gowning as one could desire, and one, too, that will puss muster before .he most critical eye. For, you know, it is not always the vast amount 1 of money spent on dress that brings about the best results. One of the greatest novelties this i season ore the ombre-striped velvets. > They are shot through with all the prettiest shadings and are ideal for smart coat bodices, blouses or trim mings in any form. Some of the most effective shots are deep lilac and gray, ' petunia and black and, last but not j least, garnet and chartreuse. Lovely and desirable as these goods are, they j arc not at nil high priced, considering | their wonderful quality. We. are certainly going to have some ' extremely novel, not to say striking, features in our new dress skirts. There is no longer any doubt but that they are to Im profusely trimmed, and one cannot but realize with a sigh of pro found regret that the days of the ab solutely plain skirt are numbered, cx :ept perhaps iu the ease of the luilor made guv Mis. Faucis are coining- in apace, and piping? made of satin or velvet are used galore. Moire is much sought afte.* for i the panel, trimming as well as heavy , black satin, but when the latter is used | the best dressmakers veil it. under white Honiton lace applique which, by j t lie way, adds much to its beauty and. ! alas, also to its cost. The new shirts | are cut narrower than any yet seen, ■ and the same holds good of the newest j sleeve. In ull the latest models seen j within the week the latter useful ad junct to a lady's bodice was cut so as lo reveal the contour of the arm from shoulder to wrist. In some materials and under certain conditions the sheath-like sleeve is not an ungraceful thing; neither is it an unmixed bless j ing, I fear, for you know it has the uh | fortunate knack of revealing with dis -1 agreeable frankness both the generous proportions of the stout and the sharp | angularities of the thin. Let us there ! fore cling as long as we can to our ; pretty rucked sleeves and devote our selves to a tasteful arrangement of our bodices, which threaten to be more elaborate than ever. Much fine jet and a profusion of spangles will be useri and , the exquisite jeweled embroideries will I play a most important part in waist j decoration. In some models Ihe nll j conquering bolero is composed entirely of jeweled embroidery and edged with j a narrow band of fur. 1 had just a ! glimpse of a very pretty one made of ! primrose satin. The little zonavt jnck- I et was thickly jetted and just reached to the closely folded girdle of black satin fastened with a handsome jet I buckle. The slock was also of black j satin and ornamented with a dainty I/ouis XV. cravat of fine yellow luce. I The bodice in the picture represents ; one of the latest and very prettiest 'models. The upper portion of the sleeves and the waist. are of satin hro cade iu pale yellow, the overhanging I front is of white silk, the tft eked I ceinture is invisibly fastened in the back, the all-important jacket effect I is produced by broad re vers of plaid velvet, while the points below the | waist are of the brocade outlined by j narrow jet edging. 1 saw this same ! bodice very prettily copied iu cerise j satin with trimmings of bluck velvet, I and 1 wont to tell you right here that : cerise and black is one of the most ; stylish color combinations this season. ! In the matter of reception and party ; gowns the winter season will produce I THE CORRECT CAPE, , several sensations. For young ladies, | and those not quite so young for that mutter, the predominating color for evening wear will lie red. It sounds ioilier daring, I know, but you must benr in mind there are reds ami reds, ind the particular shades now so high ly favored by Dame Fashion is one that takes very kindly to u garniture of bluck, and when softly veiled under black net of tine quality makes a real ly handsome costume. White, is of course always charming for evening wear, and for those who have grown | somewhat weary of plain satin white ' moire silk will prove a pleusing substi tute. Moire silk, with its lovely wa- I tered sheen, is more eostJy in the be aming than white satin, but when ■ I.L takes into account that it requires ! .pry little, if any, trimming, and will | bear at least three cleanings, it will i not prove in the end very expensive. | The growing fancy for metuJ effects ; and braiding in gold and silver is seen i )n mauy of the handsomest evening I gowns turned out by well-know n bouses. For skirt trimmings the braiding usually takes the form of a panel and is often associated with line nee, and the gleaming of the gold and silver braid beneath the lace is not only elegant but charming. Never were fur garments more ele gant or more costly than this season. | I'hey really are smartness typified. Seul and chinchilla promise to be more ! popular than ever. Persian lamb and astrakhan will be used solely as trim ming, and ermine is appearing a great deal in connection with sealskin and velvet. It is very pretty and becoming ' for evening, but for day wear a darker fur should be chosen. On ull the jack eta and capes the collars seem to be the most prominent feature. They are much larger than those worn last sea son, some being cut in five points and others slashed open in the back to ac commodate the present style of coif r '" e - KATE GARDNER. How to Care for IVstrlii. It is pretty generally understood by women who have achieved choice pearl rings that while clear, pure water does not Injure the gem, soap and water w ill soon affect their luster and color, and in time will cause them to peel, or shed an outer coat. This crumbling, how ever, takes place even when the geir.s are most carefully treated, and when the tendency is noted the ring oi brooch or necklace should be prompt I,\ taken to a jeweler. The course of t rent men t often prescribed by that authori ty is that of the rest cure. Put it aside in its box, carefully closed from light md air, and a few weeks, or possibly a month or two, of this lying fallow will often entirely restore the original beauty and health of the gem.
