Orange !Blossoms Out of Favor. IOrange blossoms would appear to bo declining in favor with English brides. Formerly the floiw'er was deemed an essential• part of the bridal toilet, and none but widows Went to the altar without wearing! It. Even when a bride was married in her travelling costume she pinned a sprig of orange blo•ssont on the bo- dice of her gonvn. Judging by the Tashio'nable weddings of the past Sow month , how( rer, a new order of things has been introduced. One dis- tinguished bride went to the altar with a wreath of myrtle; another with white heather and myrtle, an- other with white clematis, and yet another with lily of the valley. The reason given for putting aside orange blossoms is that as natural flowers were usually worn, the heavy per- fume caused fain:noes to nearly ladies. ,A;s the, artificial fiowers so nearly resemble the genuine article this can c,c.zrcely be said •to .account for tho "slump" in the nuptial flower. Isoivo of change and rt commendable wi'elu to bring a touch of originality into wedding attire, which is ept to beceino stereeltyped, is probably at the root of the new fashion. Tho (fillet.

When a suspect is spotted, by, either clerk or detective, at least; two detectives are placed on tate train, Their vigilance does not re- lax for one instant until they are either convinced that the person is innocent or they see her steal. If rt. man were to do the •shadowhig at some counters, his oonduet would attract attention. Tibia is where the woman detective le needed. She Worms her way elos1(, to the suspect,. fingering articles and frequently malting purchases. Her work enols at( rho door of the store. gore the male detective steps in; shadowing the culprit until a favor able opportunity arises for address- ing Icor. No ono is accused in the store. IIe quietly ranges himself alongside with the remark: "Madam, I believe you have a pagin wh ou - gotackto e payyour for atmuff Joneshic, Brownyfor& Co's." Instantly the woman is on the de- fensive. "How dare you address me, sir. • I sltail appeal to tate police." Tho detective is suave, diplomatic. He has made the accusation and he must now prove it or lose his place. She will not object to accompanying him to the store? She does not wish a scene on the street? Of course not. He is half apologetic, altogether coartooas as they retrace their steps, and by the time they reach the store the woman is rantning a mag- nificent bluff and according to her story will own half the establish- ment when the damage suit is set- tled. The detective is deprecating -i until tlto door of the searching xoom closes behind them. Then leis manner undergoes a sod-, den change. It is his turn now. The proceeding is something like' this: Sternly—"Those articles Ln your, bag, madam. Lay them on the ta- iple." DofiantIy--"I bought them." "Exactly 1 And what did you pay, . for this bottle of perfulite?" , " Forty-five cents." " las? And that Moor comb ?"' " A dollar." i " That miniature frame ?" " Two -fifty." Then he turns on her. "The next time you steal, watch the prices, That perfume sells at a dollar, tate silver comb at $2,25. The frame is sterling and costs $5." To the assist- ant : "Miss Brown, Search iter." There is instant and vigorous pro. tee!. on the part of the -suspect. " You will have an opportunity to explain all this to the magistrate to- morrow. Your case will probably be called then." Ile takes a fete steps towards the telephone. The telephone means the patrol wagon. The suspect weakens, and offers her address, perhaps refer- ences. Tho chief semis a messenger to verify the former. Then, far half an hem', an hour, or even two, the Wo- man sits there under the keen sere- tiny of the head of the detective bureau, and by tho time the mes- senger returns she is ready to make a clean breast of the whole business anti restores the stolen articles, which appear as if by magic from the blouse of tier jacket, her puffed sleeves and her glittering chatelaine. Then Comes tile final disposition of her case: If she is a. professional Ohr;plifter, short a rift is made of the matter. The chief has a mental • rogues' gallery of his own and such case0 aro prosecuted without hesi- tancy. But where it is clnariy a first of- fence, the articles are restored, the actress of the culprit is taken teed with a reprimand site is advised not to enter the store again. Chosen_FromaMultitude.
