The taupe veil with bonnet jto match is very elegant This color does not' need to be washed as often as lighter ones, but this may or may not be considered an Item in its favor. Taupe colored headwear is brightened by small touches of the most vivid colors in its trimming, like Siat in a small cluster of cherries, or r ttle hand-made silk roses in bright pink, made and sewed flat to the bonnet. or hat. Cerise is a favorite color In combination with taupe. All the small bonnets of straw and the new straw sailors, are made in I

bright colors 1b addition to the regulation white, straw color and black. Remember this in making a selection, for the coming summer. Fashion favors .millinery that is cheerful and bright. Street hats and bonnets, including midsummer sailors, are made in rose-pink, light green, light blue, purple,' lavender, cerise and rose color as well as in quieter colors, and they have a lot “oF “go” and distinction. . Small bonnets are faced with silk, Which may be plain or flowered or Striped, not to mention the changeable tones which are liked so much.

QUAINT CONCEIT COMES BACK

Choux of Ribbon, Silk or Velvet, 8o Popular Some Time Ago, Is to Be Revived. ~ t -A quaint conceit which is being revived on several models is the large choux of ribbon or silk velvet, reputing, perhaps, the note of color at the waist and plaqed at the side front about nine inches up from the foot. In fact, we appear to be in for a revival of these contrasting choux of silk or velvet, which were such an Infliction some years ago. They are applied to the corsage or skirt more or less Indiscriminately, and hear no relation to the general deßign of the. model. Just now the idea Is quite endurable, especially when carried out as on a white batiste frock with a Vshaped lace vest at the neck let Into a .large plain vest of fine embroidered batiste. Two large diamond shaped pieces of Mce on the shoulders head two soft folds of batiste, which cross over In front into a swathed waist belt of soft mauve silk, finishing with an enormous choux at the left front. The skirt Is on simpler lines, gathered into the waist. A band of the laoe is applied about a foot up from the hem, and just above this and In a line with that at the waist is a very large rosette bow. These touches of mauve were quite delightful. A similar note was sounded bn the white baby hat, which h«d a wreath of tiny mauve roses encircling the mob crown. Another model in spotted muslin, also had a little- crosß over bodice folded over a soft fold of pale green silk. The waist belt and rosette are In pale green silk and a large flat rosette headed an open seam, revealing a lace inset. These introductions of colored silks into white lingerie and muslin frocks are very much to be noted just now.

Wardrobe Hints.

Green, which is, above all colors, the most springlike, has hopes of coming into its own again, and the hue predominates In many of the new tail-,or-mades, and particularly in mixed serges. Belts of all kinds are again appearing, and the belted Russian hJgqsp for outdoor wear will likely be very often seen during tihe coming spring months.

RATINE LINING.

White ratine, as a lining for black or adored faille or satin coats, is one of the smart things in handsome suits. The white doth comes out in collar and caffs, with big buttons covered with' silk or satin. Black gowns of the kind are used in half mourning. -

FRAUD IN OLD BILLS

Confederate Money Still Used to Swindle Immigrants. FI rat Issue of Currency in SouthProblems That Confronted the Treasury of the Confederacy During the War. Boston.—Confederate money Is still a favorite medium of the confidence man in his dealings with the raw immigrant, though it is hardly a currency to-deceive any man acquainted with the country’s history or even with the negotiable paper money of today. It is not surprising that confederate money is so plentiful after a half a century as to make it more valuable to the confidence man than to the collector when one realizes the immense amount turned out J>y the industrious presses of the Confederacy. The Confederate treasury kept on printing paper money almost up to the fall of Richmond. A note dated Richmond, February 17, 1864,. declares upon its faoe: “The Confederate States of America will pay $lO to bearer two years after the ratification of a treaty of peace between the Confederate States and the United States of America.” When the Confederate treasury began business there was a clear enough perception among the public men of the Confederacy that cheep money would be one of their government’s perils. They had been brought up in the old democratic monetary theory of a currency composed of gold and silver at a fixed ratio Intended to correspond with their relative bullion value, and paper money based upon such currency. • Almost exactly fifty years ago the issue of $1,006,000 in interest-bearing notes was authorized. This was the earliest Confederate paper money issued. By July of that year the treasury had exceeded the authorized amount, and the issue of double the original issue was then sanctioned by law. The smallest denomination of these early issues was SSO, for the treasury hoped that means might be

found for using silver and gold in minor transactions. Before the end of the year the authorized issue had again been exceeded, and in spite of oft renewed good resolutions the Confederacy by July, 1863, had $1,000,006,000 of notes outstanding. For a few months devoted Confederate patriots permitted their gold deposits to get into general circulation, but soon everybody who had gold hoarded It or sent it out of the country to a place of safety. - - 'Almost at the very end of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis vetoed a bill for the Issue of- $80,000,000 in paper and congress passed the measure over his veto. The funding plans resulted in a temporary contraction of the currency and a fall in prices, with the consequent enrichment of some of the desperate gamblers that hung about Richmond and fattened upon the hardships of the Confederacy. After each contraction of the currency the convenient presses were set going again, and Instead of a circulating medium

California Men Kept Btrange Vows for Many Years—Arrest of One Reveals Compact. San Bernardino, Cal.—Never to set foot upon each other's sidewalk, and always to be prepared to shoot to kill if they should meet outside the city, is the strange compact that for fifteen years has been In existence between C. W. Richardson and Joseph and John Shafer, prominent business men of this place. Their places of business are opposite each other on Court street. This compact was violated last week when Joseph Shafer, trying to catch a better-glimpse of an aviator, crossed to his enemy’s sidewalk. Richardson came forth with a jump to make an attack. Shafer fled to his own side of the street,- but hurled back a challenge. This aroused Richardson, whose high-voiced reply made it . possible to

I will write a letter to him at'once.’ “The bank president wrote a letter simply asking my husband to come, and see him. I went out to do some work and did not return home until evening. The letter had reached my husband in the afternoon at home. I suppose that since the letter did not speak of a position, and as- my husband was conscious that be was guilty of the forgery, he became crazed with the thought that his act had been discovered at the bank and that the letter tellioft him to call meant be would soon be in the clutches of the law. /I. suppose the terror of his position drove him insane, for he went lata' a shed on the rear of our lot and killed himself by hanging. The letter, taken out of the envelope, was In his coat pocket, a mute witness es the cause of his self-deflt ruction.

Wants Servants Without Souls.

‘ London.—Canon Ottley, In a sermon delivered at Bow Church, spoke severely about “the insolent disregard by the wealthy of the sanctity of Sunday.” He stated that the other day a lady whose servants had all given notice because of her Sunday entertainments, went to a registry office and asked, “Can’t you find me a cook without a soul?”

The fend started fifteen years ago, when as a .bachelor Richardson and the Shafer brothers occupied adjoining houses. Richardson broke the bachelor atmosphere by marrying, and the fight was on. Several court cases have grown out of seemingly trivial quarrels between the contestants.
