ETON AND BOLERO JACKETS

Both Are Bhort, Elaborately Trimmed and Fancifully Cut, Is the Edict of Fashion, The new jacket suits are really' novel. In an indefinable way them suggest the Eton and bolero; others more than hint of the cutaway. AH are comparatively short, a great deal trimmed even though the skirt is plain and more or less fancifully cut. - A number of box effects are catalogued, and these, too, show much originality. The severe, mannish coat, for the first time since its introduction, seems to have no real standing, though it may attain a prestige before the summer is on as a ‘ foil to the novelties. A box coat with a skirt of simple drapery, making together a model that has appealed very strongly to those who have seen it, was made up in the original as follows: Serge in one of the new brownish tones was the material and color, and there was, first, a foundation banded at tfre foot with cotton corduroy, it banded in turn narrowly with the serge. Over the two was hung the tunic, the two edges crossing diagonally in front just above the corduroy and its foot bandings, which show merely as an inset. The coat has plain side sections that close over a front and back that are cut straight, but have what fulness

HAVE THE STOCKINGS PADDED

Latest Idea That Is Sent to Us From Paris Is Not Without Its Dieadvantages. 1 ;rPadded silk stockings arl a brand new idea from Paris. What with one and one-half yard skirts, and slashed skirt hems, the nether limbs are a good deal in qvidence these days, and the French woman with a tffick foot, a lumpy ankle and fiat calves, 1b doing her utmost to remedy these defects now by wearing trim-buttoned boots, which undoubtedly make the ankle neater and daintier, and bobts with long lines that give slenderness and aristocracy to the foot. Now padded stockings have been added to perfect the contour ‘ above the boottop. It is not likely that these padded silk hose will have any great vogue in America. Woe be to the woman who buys a pair to wear with he® bathing suit, for the padding, which so neatly g>unds out the limb at the calf, is not guaranteed against the effect of salt water, which will be more than likely to reduce the carefully placed padding to soggy lumps in the wrong places.

WAISTS MADE WITH FICHUS.

Inside, between the support and Uie back of the holder a short pieci of tape should be fastened to prevent the support from opening too far.

Summer Nightgown.

A pretty way to make the sum met nightgown—if one likes to fashion such garments at home —is to start the gown proper below the armholes, making the yoke and kimono starves of allover embroidery in one of the new patterns, with little eyelet or floral effects on a sheer ground. Finis! the V or round neck and the edges of the short sleeves with a ribbon run beading and attach the allover yoke to the nainsook gown with wider embroidery beading also run with ribbon.

GRAVE POST FOUND

Marker at Burial Place of Illinois Pioneer Uncovered. One Present at Ceremony Tells of Weird Rites of Fox Indians in Placing Memorial Over Grave of Col. George Davenport. Rock Island, 11l. —An old cedar post placed at the head of the grave of a murdered Illinois pioneer by friendly Fox Indians, who mourned the settler’s death, has been uncovered in a he&p of musty legal papers in the office of an attorney here. Though worm-eaten and partially-decayed at the ends, the unique grave marker still shows weird traces that once were crude sketches symbolical of grief and battlefield achievements. A band of prairie brigands swooped down upon the home of CoL George Davenport, a wealthy settler who owned the Island! In the Mississippi on which thc| government arsenal is now built, and murdered him. The crime, committed July 4, 1845, is recalled by old residents in Rock Island and Davenport, lowa, which town, by the way, is named after the victim. About, the same time that one of the murderers was hanged for the bloody deed some Fox Indians who, through their dealings with Davenport, had come to have a deep friendship for him, fashioned this old cedar grave post and erected it at the head of his grave. For some years the post marked the grave of Colonel Davenport Then his body was remQved to a family lot in Chlppianock cemetery, south of Rock Islafid. and for years the ‘old grave post of the Indians was thought to be lost. Recently it was discovered when the musty contents of an old law office were moved into modern quarters. The founder of the firm had been Davenport’s attorney. The weird rites with which the Indians planted the grave plot are narrated by one who was present at the ceremony and to whdm, according to his statement, the facts stand out in his memory as clearly as ever. "It was on a Friday afternoon, about the middle 4 of the year 1845, that I went to the Island where the Davenport homestead was and where Col. George had been buried. Arrived there, I beheld a band of Fox Indians, with whom he had always been very friendly, lying in a circle about his grave. In the center of the. ring of prostrate Indians, the head of the grave, rose a new white cedar post "The ceremony began when two of the braves arose and drew weird figures upon the post Others did the same in pairs and in turn. A third Indian, carrying a war club, advanced and drank to the health of the decedent, then walked three times around the grave, delivering himself of most earnest exhortations. This was repented Until each Indian had taken part in the ceremony. The -pictures that were drawn upon the’post were to represent the crowning achievements of him who drew them and at the same time were meant to display the grief of the Indians at the loss of their friend. "Following the ceremony of planting the post a huge feast.was set upon the grass. A. health was drunk invoking the Great Spirit to open the doors to admit their friend Colonel Davenport. Then meat of various' kinds w*s brought upon the table. After the dinner several Indian dances were Indulged in. I left the braves as nightfall came, gathered about a camp fire, preparing further to do honor to their murdered friend.” y

WHAT THE CONVICTS SANG

Missionary Tells of Prisoners Singing Song That Was In Marked Contrast to Their Condition. London. —The unsuitable nature of the services in prison chapels has caused a protest by Thomas Holmes, a London police court missionary. “A few weeks ago," said Mr. Holmes, "I was "conducting an afternoon service, and cbefore me were one thousand men. locked, bolted and barred in prison, with warders to keep guard over them. They were on their knees singing a vesper: Lord, keep os safe thin night. Becure from all our fears; May angels guard us while we sleep. TUI morning light appears. “I at once remonstrated with the prison authorities, and offered to provide them with more suitable words, but they failed to see my point"

WOMEN PUN A UNIQUE BANK

Suffragettes of New York to Have Financial Institution With Only - Their Bex Employed. New York. —According to proposals and plans now under consideration here, New York in the near future la likely to have the country's first suffragette bank, a real financial institution which will operate like any other except for the fact that from president down to office boy, or rather from presldentess to office girl, only women will be concerned with its management and operation; Many attempts and proposals have been made before by women identified with the suffrage movement both here and in England to start such an institution, but for one .reason or another they have failed to be productive of

any definite results. The women behind the present plan, however, believe that this time they will be successful. Just what the plan is they refuse to disclose until the big meeting at which it is to be made public later in the month. As its backers are women of wealth, there is much curiosity as to just what they propose to do. Tt is pointed out, however, that if they adhere to the plan of having no man connected with it the bank will be unique in,.more ways than one. Since it will have a board of directors none of whom serve on any other bank directorate —that is, unless Mrs. Hetty Green Is made a director —and will thus be free from the criticism of interlocking directors. Of course if a few of the city's more prominent bankers should be askdd to seyVe, this claim to distinction would be lost, but even at that financial circles are expressing considerable curiosity over the plans for a real suffragette bank.

ONION SCORES BIG VICTORY

County Attorney Refuses Warrant for Man on Woman's Complaint Against /Vegetable. i lola, Kan.—The onion won /a legal Bkirmish here when County Attorney Forrest refused to issue a warrant for Willis Thompson, charged by Miss Lucretia Campbell, a neighbor, with permitting the cooking of onions in his home, the odors from which filled her rooms, causing her great discomfort Miss Campbell declared that the odor of onions was poisonous to her, and upon that contention she based her demand that Thompson be arrested. “The state of Kansas will not lend Its aid to banish the onion from the home,” said the county attorney. "Miss Campbell’s remedy is an injunction issued in the district court, if she one.” Mr. Forrest paid a high tribute to tl>e healthful properties of the onion, quoting Hetty Green as saying she attributed her health and wealth to eating thp vegetable daily.

CABARET SHOWS ARE BARRED

Philadelphia Police Act on Theory That “Beer and Music Do Not Mix.* Philadelphia. Pa. —“Cabaret" entertainments are placed under the ban by a police order issued recently by Director of Public Safety Porter. More than a quarter of a century ago a license court judge in this city laid down the dictum that "beer and music do not mix.” Of late years this injunction has been obeyed more in the breach than in the observance. The presence of music has not been objected to by the authorities until re. cently, when the prevalence of "cabarets" caused the director to order an investigation and the issuance of the order. , * The police served notice of the order on the big hotels and cases as well as the smaller saloons. Managers of the former, however, declare that they are not affected and their orahestras continued to play.

MAKE PREY OF POOR

EXTRAVAGANT FUNERALS EHCOURAGED BY UNDERTAKER. , j . • v ~-"7 " _r Afflicted Relatives, In the First Throe? of Distress, Induced to Assume Pecuniary Burdens That Later Are Severely Felt. One cannot go among the 'poor very much without hearing more or less circumstantial stories of how the unscrupulous undertaker fleeces them, writes Arthur B. Reeves in Harper’s Weekly. In fact, nothing less than ghoulish are some of the stories that are related to show how pressure Is brought to bear on distracted people to cause them excessive expense in burying, their dead. A dying husband begged his wife that she give him only a plain funeral. She promised, but when the undertaker came the relatives were present. As soon a* she said she wanted only a modest funeral the undertaker sneered. "Is that all you thought of your husband to bury him like that?” She was shamed into spending not only more than she had promised, but more than the insurance he had asked her to save. “This is the last thing you can do tor your wife,” one undertaker urged a poor porter, “and you don’t want to be haunted by the thought that yon were mean.” Then the crafty trade* man in death pointed to the children and cruelly wrung the man’s heart by adding: “If you don’t do the right thing by their mother they will curse you to your dying day.” It is hardly necessary to say that this distracted man demonstrated his love for the dead wife and mother by having a funeral which condemned the children to actual hunger and want Another undertaker refused to go to Bellevue for the body of a child until the mother gave him a golden crucifix, an heirloom, as Security. Sadr cases could be multiplied if it were of any use, for cates of this kind are so common among the very poor as to be almost proverbial. That is not to say that all undertakers, or even a majority of them, are rogues. They are precisely like every other body of men—some honest some unscrupulous, charging “all that the traffic will bear.” Once having been accepted, the vulture undertaker has the family at his mercy. For instance, In one case a chattel mortgage on an the household furniture was demanded. The family refused indignantly. But when they approached a second undertaker they found he would not take the c?se hocause the code of ethics forbade bim. They either bad to tale the original undertaker on his own terms or submit to having a pauper buriaL |

Bits of a Centipede.

Jeff Fitch has had about the closest call of his life the last few 'days. About one week ago, while sleeping la his bachelor quarters, he felt something bite him and after applying some turpentine he thought no more of It. A day* or two later the wound he* ‘ gan to swell and in a short time Fitch was a very sick man.' He was removed to the borne of Chris Powell, where for a time it was feared he would not recover. A search of the room where Fitch had been sleeping revealed a dead centipede upon the floor back of the bed, where it had fallen when the half-awakened man had crushed his tormentor. Fitch is now said to be out of danger, although far from re-covered.-—Arizona Republican.

At a recent dinner given to the writers who donated their services to the Bull Moose campaign were threw women: Edna Ferber, Inez Haines CHlmore and Jessie C. Smith. All of them had to speak. It is reported that earlier in the year Miss Ferber ha# a conversation with the chief Bull Moose, who addressed her somewhat as follows: "Miss Ferber, Emma MeChesney MUST marry; she to a young woman still, not more than thirty-six or so, is she?
