PsHs.--"He did not love his country, but, on the contrary, was always full of praise for the Germans," was the only excuse Estelle Jobin could find when, together with her lover, Charles Burger, she was brought 'before examining magistrates on the charge of murdering Iter husband and helping to cut up the body, throwing parts of It Into thg river and burying the remainder In si park outside of Paris. The husband, Ernest Jobin, was employed at the Grand hotel here as first tlobr waiter and had been for some ten years. Two years ago a vacancy having occurred on the same floor, Jobin introduced one of his friends, Charles Burger, to the management, and he was given a job. Burger having no home, Jobin offered to share his with Burger «ttd bis little girl, Madeleine, six. Quarreled About War. Burger was a widower, and intimate relations soon developed between him and Jobln's wife. Conversations In the household often drifted to the war. Burger bad served as a private and was wounded. The two men would often come very near to an exchange of blows.. Burger, furthermore, was envious of Jobln's position at the Grand hotel, where he was well liked by the management and patrons. He had succeeded In saving op mom 00,000 francs. Stem theo on Borger thought only of various ways of getting the money. Matters went so far that Burger, exasperated, picked up a kstfe from the table and stabbed Jet)ln to death. This happened in the presence of the letter's wife. Loslag no time as to how they should get rid of the body. Bur ger suggested to Mrs. Jobin that they cut it up. Clearing the dining room table, they put Jobln's body on it and, while Burger went out after a saw, Mine. Jobin prepared sackings. Girl Walshes Hacking. v As soon as Burge* returned they set to their ghastly task, witnessed only by little Madalclne, too horrified to say anything. That same night, at midnight, the three left their flat, each carrying a bundle, one containing the headless body of the victim, the others au arm each, and made for the nearest bridge, where the remains were thrown Into the river. The next day they left for the Ciamart Wood, bearing with them, in two separate sackings the heed' and legs of their victim. A few weeks later the trunk was found some 12 miles out of Paris In the river, and the next day the arms appeared. It was not nntll 18 months after that the murderers were found and, with them, the head and legs, for they led the police authorities to the spot where the latter had bean buried.

It requires much less effort and ingenuity to bring out a silhouette that is attention attracting than to evolve a beautiful and original decoration. Today the clever dresamaker buys only a small percentage of her trimmings ready made; she Croats* decorations suitable" to the modO) she is designing, often using nothing but the material from whlcb the dress is mad*. This is an old Idea. Our grandmothers depended largely open rufflings, pleatlngs and flutlngs to enhance the beauty of their costumes, and it is from these old-time trimming ideas that the present day selftrimming. as It is called, emanates. Trimmings of Self Material. There was nothing artistic about the evenly pleated or fluted ruffles. Every dressmaker used them and stitched them to the dress with great exactness. Vastly different are the delicate hand-made trimmings of today, carelessly tacked here and there. XfcHsmakers now excel In Intricate do decorations, most of whldr ( of novel ways of working the Is composing the dress. A deal of this sort of trimming la and it gives a look of elaboration Simply cut models. Sometimes It Hi*es the form of upright folds sewn ill patterns to form panels on skirts Sttd plastrons on bodices. Again It the form of geometrical pieces |elm to the dress in a distinct pattern. Another unusual form of trimming feonstets of narrow tabs embroidered in self-tone, and still another interest* ing effect is produced by small leaflike points and narrow strips cut from two layer* ot material pasted together This makes it possible to use the raw edge. These tabs and strips are massed to form a design. Sometimes the edges are finished with a line of water I color paint, or again, there is a tiny useful ball, usually Bteel, sewn to the tip. Colore Relieve Sombre- Hued Dreeaesi The most lavish user of self-trim^ miiiRS Is Madme Itenee, of Paris. She does marvelous things with materials, working out intricate designs In sUka, cloths and velvets. An example of one of tho simpler methods of trimming with strips of the material is in chemise frock. It is of marron-colored crepe de chine adorned with interlacing strips of the silk. A dress from Margalne Lacrotx, with Innumerable strips of the cloth form a ladder-like device. The trimming bands are made separately and then loosely sewn to the gown. The girdle also Is constructed In this way. This frock Is a confirmation of the tendency to relieve dark clothes with bright colors, the model being a black broadcloth, with the cascading side panels and the sleeve tabs of Chinese green silk, a shade which is one of fashion's favorites Just now. It not only Is used extensively as a trimming, but takes a prominent place in footwear. Slippers of Chinese green brocade are smart with either black or white evening gowns. Metal Cloth-Sparkling With Color. Jenny achieves the unusual through a scarf yoke and a girdle of silk flowers, both of the material which forms a straight-line dress. The scarf yoke Is a feature with Madame Jenny. She makes It do many new tricks, such as formiug sleeves or a train. In this instance it makes a panel bnck. Shawls, which still hold their place in the sun, frequently are called upon to do duty as trimming, and there is no doubt that they make one of the most graceful decorations. Margaine Lacroix uses the shawl Idea with excellent effect In a frock composed of silver cloth and taupe satin. The skirt, which Is long and uneven at the bottom, is of the satin. This is attached to a straight bodice of silver cloth tinted with orange. These tinted metal cloths, which are new this season, are soft and supple. They also come In all the violet shades, aS well as wonderful raspberry reds. Over the shoulders fails a scarf of the Batin In shawl effect. This, as well as the skirt. Is lined with orange colored silk, and one end of the shawl to fringed with orange. The bodice Is embroidered wtth steel beads and silver threads. Slippers of or&nge and silver brocade are worn with this costume. Among the many details that go to make up the winter fashions are catout designs of cloth appllqued to frocks of sheer fabrics. Lanvin applloaes broadcloth In interesting border designs to the sheer, flowing sleeves of many of her frocks. Usually she selects cloth a few shades lighter than the gown Itself.

Even furs are enlivened by inserts of such braids. Perhaps it Is the liking for glistening ornamentation that has brought materials shot with gold Int6 so much prominence. Foliage Trims Mid-Winter Dresses. On black dresses stsr trimmings are made by glistening points of Jet, and simple black velvet gowns have sashes, trains and panels fined wtth silver and brightly tinted metal cloths. Incrustations of rhlnestonee also nre used on black velvets. This combination Is especially popular at the house of Worth. One of Worth's best models Is of black velvet practically covered with an Incrusted pattern of rhlnestones. Leaves and flowers are very Important trimmlftgs, especially when need "ss girdles. In many Instances they are formed of doth or silk. A wreath of realistic autumn leaves, msde from wondrous shades of red and brown silks is extremely effective on a silk frock In a soft shade of green. Pinkish lavender chrysauthemums girdle an Informal evening gown of mauve colored crepe. Very effective trimmings In the form of flowers or pompons are matte of fine fringes. Colors for the evening are brilliant There Is many a woman with a liking for bright colors who, while unwilling to make herself conspicuous by wear- Ing them on the street, will be quick to take advantage of the prevailing vogue for bright-hned clothes In the evening. Particular emphasis is laid on the fuchsia tohes. these ranging from the deep blues and vloline shades to those so light that they verge on pink. Fringes on gloves are another trimming feature. The fringe is short and thick, and Is run along the outer seam, sometimes, and other times around the coff. -VT ' *• COLOR COMBINATION IS POPULAR White and Tints Are to Bo In Llmo- . light.

It is said by those who are accustomed to forecasting the season's mode, that all white will not have the popularity that white and color is expected to receive. Another feature worthy of note is the texture of the fabric. In many Instances it is the coarser weaves, such as cord, mesh or those with ribbed surfaces, that are In evidence. Trimmings are different, In that they are made from the material itaelf, by cut-out motifs that are backed with color, or in the case of firmly woven materials, the finishing touch is given by cutting the hem Into fringe, and the same trim will appear on the euffed pockets.
