V%V Jerome Bonaparte Left Bride. ^JflSbrome Bonaparte married Elizabeth Patterson, daughter of William Patterson. one of the leading citizens of Baltimore. The match was opposed violently by Napoleon, Jerome's brother, who was then first consul of France, says the Detroit News. Their mother tried to aid Napoleon In his effort to have Jerome desert his wife. Jerome refused to yield, and then Napoleon asked Pope Pius VII to publish a bull annulling the marriage. The pope replied that after a careful Investigation he could find no grounds for complying with the request of the emperor. Napoleon was furious and at once, instructed his imperial council dt state to declare the marriage null and void, which that body obediently proceeded to do. ' In the meantime Jerome Bonaparte and his wife went to Europe, but Napoleon refused to see his brother. Eventually Jerome yielded to the stronger nature and shamefully deserted his bride. i A "well-known artist who is a keen •bserver of the trend of the tlmea has, expressed the opinion that women are becoming color-blind, says a fashion writer in the New York Times. Be believes they are Indulging in such extravagance of color In their dress and surroundings that their eyes will lose their appreciation of values and after a time will no longer be able to teli one color from another. With true masculine cynicism, this painter Who •ees no inconsistency In blue grass, green skies, and pink snow on canvas, comments thus regarding the fashionable woman of today and her wardrobe.

Inquiries for copper roofing to be used In rebuilding the devastated Japanese cities have been ma'de of the Copper and Brass Research assocla tlon. It Is understood that these Inquiries are from sources representing the Japanese government Except for modern American construction In Tokyo and Yokohama, all houses were roofed entirely with large, hand-made clay tile. These made a very heavy roof, which, when the earthquake tremors first came, caused heavy casualties by falling on the fleeing people in the streets, and by their weight brought about a complete collapse of many houses which might otherwise have resisted the earthquake shocks. It Is understood that the Japanese government has already Issued an order forbidding the use of heavy roofing materials and is endeavoring to obtain rooting of the lightest possible weight which, is at the same time fireproof and earthquake proof. The attention of their experts has been drawn to the possibilities of copper roofing, in view of Its light weight and lire-resisting qualities.

While the other side of the world is engulfed In blackest night of mourning, we, on two shores of the Atlantic, are reveling in the gayest, the most bizarre, and the costliest, fairly Intoxicated by the wealth of It all. The windows of the big shops are ablaze with fabrics fit to adorn a Sheba or a Solomon. The best talent of European ateliers has been engaged In creating for present-day wear such combinations and high lights in the weave and sheen of dress goods as make the lead' ers of fashion of earlier days look like doves. The designs are painted wttb a large brush, and the colors are an education in art. The latest phase of this delirium Is Inspired by Spain, and there Hi s erase for things Spanish. The Spanish shawl has always been used for picture purposes, for fancy costumes, In house decoration and on the stage. But only lately have smart women worn It as a practical wrap, as they wear the newest and moat stereotyped French eape or coat 8panlsh Shawl of Old. The traditional Spanish shawl, that with which we are most familiar. Carmen's cloak of witchery, Is one of many-colored flowers embroidered on a white ground, to be wrapped about the figure in a way made famous by the cigarette girl of Blset's opera. But Carmen probably never dreamed of its possibilities in the bnnfls of tha modistes of the Twentieth century. The many-colored shawl la still shown, the designs exaggerated until roses are embroidered the size of dinner plates. Made to harmonise with modern dress, the shawls are of one or two colors, the number and variety fairly bewildering. In . black and white, yellow and white, royal purple and white, In raisin upon mauve, heliotrope upon gendarme blue, orange upon flame color, scarlet upon jietunia, and so on through the possible blendlngs. Some of tlvem p>-e enchanting, and the style having taken hold, shawls are finding eager purchasers. I Designers of fashions find many I charming adaptations of the Spanish shawl. As an evening wrap over a gown of black velvet it has an as- I sured vogue. Over black or Ivory I satin nothing could be more stunning. In a day when society dashes madly from one diversion to another, women find the shawl a joy because It can be eo easily and so quickly thrown on. The fringe or. the shawls Is now made extremely long, trailing the carpet of the smart restaurants, where It Is seen In all its glory. In a handsome model an all-white shawl is draped gracefully over a white satin gown severely made. Black and gray over orange, and white over jade green are some of ths other combinations evolved as Imagination soars. For day wear the shawl is a comfort to be drawn over the shoulders In the cool air. It makes a delightful tea gown, with foundation of soft satin or chiffon, and a luxury as a dressing gown. However used, the Spunlsh shawl Is loved for itself. Its beauty sod Its softness- Like so many noveltiea that find their way to us from afar, this feature of the dress of a south European country is accepted without question as being Spanish. Tbt> women ol Spain wear the shawl, but it is embroidered by Chinese snd Filipinos. In fact, the Spaniards speak of it as the Manton Manila, and surely none but Oriental wizards with the needls could create those wonders that &ok as If they had never been touched by human hands.

The introduction of the lace in deep flounces, on the skirt, for sleeves, collars, berthaa capes and scarfs, of as a part of the gown Itself, is shown In many graceful models. One of the moat attractive designs seen this season from a New York couturlere Is a dancing frock of Ivory Spanish lace mad* over a slip ot peach-colored satin. It was built Is the style of the sixties, with full skirt of ankle length, snug bodice and s wide ruffle of the lace around the decollete neck. A trailing spray of flower* at one side finished a slender girdle of silver cord. A drop skirt of pale rose chiffon, upon whlcu was sewn a deep band of sliver lace showing through the outer skirt, made a most enchanting costume. Spanish lace n now dyed In a great variety of delicate shades for evening gowns, and In one respect is economical, because so little trimming Is r» quired. That anything so fanciful Is dress can endure is unlikely, but for tha time Spain and things Spanish an vary much In the limelight Spanish Influence Dominates Accessories Postum FOR HEALTH There's a Reason With Spanish shawrs and gowns of Spanish lace come irresistibly the fan, the comb and other accessories. Fans are exceedingly smart They are of lace with sticks of amber, shell, Ivory or mother of pearl, some studded with brilliants. Feather fans are the most fashionable. They are shown In gorgeous plumes and novelty feathers, and are regarded as the quintessence of elegance. One part of a Spanish woman's dress Is likely not to be adopted by her American sisters; that is the mantilla. Maturity of thought and beauty comes so early under the skies of Spain, that the mantilla is accepted. But one cannot fancy a Spanish mantilla with bobbed or plastered locks and the general flapper makeuo. In a season so ornate and colorful as the present with flowers, wraps and furs worth a king's ransom being worn, the smaller things of the toilet quite logically follow the line. Apropos Spanish shawls and gowns and laces, the moat bewitching slippers to ha worn with lace dnnoe frocks are shown in satin and brocades. They are to be had in dainty shades In many different styles, with expensive buckles or ornaments o*f rhinestones. or rosettes of lace. Tb* fancy sandals of the summer are repeated In theaa shoes with numerous variations. Buckles are both large and small. Bibbon bows, fan-shaped ornaments and tiny jeweled buttons are among tht> popular trimmings for setting j|< an evening shoe, and the heel must be French or Spanish, a heel de luxe oa a slipper of white and silver brocade being studded with rhinestones. The stockings are more sheer and fancy than ever before. Medallions of chnattily are let into the Instep of black ot white silk stockings, and some exceptionally dainty lace patterns extend from the vamp to the boot top. One hears less now of the French or the Cuban heel. It must b*> the Spanish heel, particularly on shoes for after noon, which differ little escapt la colat from evening slippers. Leather Applique Is Returning to Favor Psjphwork Is coming Into Its own Wg«in. but bringing with It certain improvements which make it a much more artistic pastime than It was in bygone days. One of the most fascinating varieties is carried out with scraps of leather. These make attractive bags, collar and cuff sets and trims on bats. It is work that Is worth doing well, as it wears, a very long time and does not soil or crumple. A sufficient assortment of leather cuttings is sold at art goods counters. The shape of the article to be covered should be cut out In lining or any odd material, as this is simply required as a foundation. The patches may be laid on without attempting to follow any particular design of a striking nature, or they may follow some pattern. The best plan Is to place a few of the largest pieces In position first and these should be secured to the foundation by a spot of gum. The ar tlcle should then be covered with «i tlece of tracing paper and the ortur matches roughly outlined In pendL This will Insure the pieces fitting correctly together, ss the outlines can be traced onto the leather and cut out neatly with sharp scissors. The piece* should be fastened down with a little gum. If they are tacked In position the thread' tends to leave a mark oa the surface of tbe leather.
