SUBJECT FOR LIVELY DEBATE

COURT SETS VALUE ON TREES Decision That Will Be of Interest to Many Communities Throughout

the Country.

In Salem. Mass., a resident sued the town gas light company for damages caused by the killing of live shade trees through the escape of gas from a leaky main. A verdict for $1,000 against the company was rendered— $‘J00 a tree. The decision is said to bare been awaited with a good deal of interest hy surrounding towns, for tree killing front this cause is a common thing. It lias happened nuiny times in Indianapolis, according to report, though complaints have not been heard lately with the frequency that characterized theta lack in the days when natural gas was piped through the streets, hastily and no doubt often

carelessly.

The killing of a thrifty, well-grown j shade tree is usually a distinct loss to i any property, commonly lowering its value. In view of the time required for the growth of such trees .fL’ltn Is a moderate sum in the way of damages, and no amount of money, when it comes to that, can really recompense the owner of the trees. They have to him, especially if he planted and cared for them, a sentimental value that dollars cannot measure. They have added ] l*euuty to his home and he has counted them among Ids treasures. To a real tree lo^r, a beautiful tree, whether his own or not, seems almost to possess a personality of its own and to see it struggle for life and gradually die, brings real sorrow. It is to view a calamity.—Indianapolis Star.

Propaganda Reaches Stage and Ministry Takes Up Fight to Correct War's Aftermath — Debate on Marriage Spreads Through England—Parliament Takes Active Part in the Discussion— Some 2,000,000 Spinsters Must Emigrate to Find Mates. Marriage and divorce are two topics of unusually lively debate in England just now. To discover the reason it is only necessary to go hack to the war, where many hasty marriages were made and many others wrecked. The war, which changed political boundaries and unsettled tinaucial and economic conditions, gave the British social -ystein several nasty jolts, writes Arthur S. Draper in the New Y'ork

Tribune.

In the first three months of this year there were 7fi,BN7 weddings in tireat Britain. This number is smaller than the record for the lust quarter id last year. Still there are sotue two million spinsters in these isles wlm see little hope of finding a mate unless they emigrate to New Zealand. Australia <-r t'anada, where the male is In the majority. I’arlianient has been taking an active part in the discussion of marriage and divorce. Two important measures have been under discussion at various times in tlie last year. One would make divorce easier and the other would protect the minor maiden. Neither has become a law. At first glance it would soom there was only on*' side to the questions, but actually they arc as many sided as human nature itself. Play Arouses Protest. There Is a play in London called "A Bill of Divorcement,” wherein a woman is divorced from her lunatic bus hand, fails in love with another man ami then is faced with the return of tier husband, who has become sane. This is a so-called propaganda divorce play, and incidentally it has aroused many churchmen to protest. Apropos says the Box. t'laronce May: “When you talk about lunacy as a ground for divorce, have you ever thought of the cruelty to the ones left behind in the lunatic asylum'/ I have been in many luimtic asylums, ami many of the inmates are us sane as you and 1 are for five-sixths of the 'day. often it happens that the one thing h man in an asylum is not mad about is tlie woman lie loves—hiuI that Is tlie one comfort and cotisolatlon in life left to tilth. If we are to divorce for madness, why not for consumption and cancer? So-called easier divorce will never get rid of the hard cases. 1'erliaps if a man's whole soul and mind were mad. and nolidjig really remained but his I indy, you would have a case for divorce. But how are you to tell when a lunatic can never recover, when patients are often released from asylums after spending ten to twenty years Inside'/" Incidentally, the discussion Is further involved hy the appearance of a hook written by a prominent English doctor, in which he urges the consideration of euthaiiHsia for the hopelessly insane, lie would place the lunatic husband or wife in a lethal chamber. But the ink is hardly dry In his book before mi equally prominent lawyer offers violent opposition, asking pertinently who Is to be tlie final Judge of those wlto arc to he put to death, and what standard is to he set. The Hex. Basil (.}, Botirehier, vicar of the fashionable St. .lude-ou-the-Hill in tlie llampsteiul Burden suburb, is a cousin of the xvell-known actor Arthur Bourchier, and no less dramatic, though lie speak' from (he pulpit. He has been pmieliing a series of Sunday exenlng sermons on marriage and divorce, and his large church has been croxvded to the doors. In frankness he asks no odds of Billy Sunday, though lie does not share the ex-base-ball player's xiexxs on the evils of alcoholic beverages. Says the vicar of St. .lude's: Make Marriage Harder. “Should divorce be made easier? Most certainly not. Instead of making this horrible thing more easy let its work to make miirriage harder. To get married today Is far too easy and simple. I am all for making marriage, on Its legal side, purely a elvll or state affair ns on the continent—the nup tial mass or benediction «f the church to follow in the case of those who really want and appreciate'' It. As it Is today, we clergy are hired hirelings of tlie civil authority so far ns marriages are concerned. Our position Is hs false as It Is undignified. If and where and when an intended union may be considered sacrilegious, ours ought to be the rigid to refuse to solemnize such. As things are we possess no such right. If, therefore, we are to continue to be state registrars siirelx xx e should he entitled to say upon xxhut terms people should he married 'according to the rites of the t 'inin il of England.’ Infinitely better though, to transfer the legalizing of every marriage to the civil authority.” The Bex Mr Bourchier told Ills eon gregiition l hat lie considered cruelty, insanity, luiliitual drunkenness nnd "iilmve all, mental and spiritual In ability " lust grounds for divorcement Iti his opinion the best xvay to remedy I e p. 'sent unhappy situation was to

make marriage more difficult. He heliexe* not only in eugenic marriages, but be believes "there is a lot to be said for a compulsory minimum of one year's engagement or betrothal." Feature Divorce Trial*. With divorce trials featured In tlie British newspapers as In no other country, every disgusting detail being published, it is hardly surprising that tin' subject of divorce should be under lively consideration. One exceedingly prosperous xveekly nexvspuper is said to liine reached its present position through its owner's determination to print every divorce action containing "savory" details. From first to last page its columns are filled with stories of scandal, reported in simple language. It is next to I in possible to attempt to generalize, hut one conclusion niny he liraxvn. and that is England will undoubtedly make some radical reforms in her divorce and health laws in tlie next tixe years. If the next parliament contains several women to keep Lady Astor company they will certainly give much attention to social reform.

SOME EXTREMES IN NEW STYLES Knickers and Soft Chiffons Are Among the Latest Fashion Offerings.

REFUSES SACRAMENT TO WOMEN IN SCANTY ATTIRE

Cardinal Billot, xxho Is a Jesuit, caused a great sensation in the Jesuit church In Koine hy refusing to administer the holy sacrament to three young xvonien in very short skirts, low necks and short sleeves. When he came to them he said in a low voice: "I refuse to administer | the blessed sacrament to those dressed j as you are." The women rose, very red in the face, and hurriedly left I the church. Cardinal Billot had often said he would refuse the sacrament to Indecorously dressed women, but tills is the first time tie lias actually done so. This is a recent portrait of Cnrdinal Billot

DIDN'T LIKE CURIOSITY Boy Asks for Second Operation, and It Will Be Given Him. When Joseph I’evnish, seventeen years old of St. Louis went to play xxith boys In the neighborhood he proved a oontlntlal source of curiosity due to a hole the slz.e of a quarter on the top of his la-tiil. and the boys for blocks around came to see him evor.x dux just to get a glimpse of the cavity. Then Joe went to the city hospital to report his troubles. Physicians will perform an unusual operation and graft part of a rib from his side to fill the depression. “I'd rather be without the rib than to liax* all the guys in the neighborhood wanting' me to take off my cap all tlie time,'' he told phxsielans. (in June 29 Joe. xxith several other boys, started on a “tour of the world.” He hopped a trtiin at the Toxver drove Station. Inn lost his footing and fell to the tracks. He was struck on the head l x another coach and suffered a depression fracture of the skull. Hospital physicians were compelled to remove part of the skull to relieve the pressure on the brain, anti the operation caused the eavltjr. Then Joe was discharged as cured a month ago. but he enme back the other day liecause he xxanted to look like other hoys.

Capes and Beautiful Coat* With Wide and Flowing Sleeves; Linings Are Rare Combinations of Elegance. Vast extremes of preference are be lug exhibited by tlie American woman In tier choice of clothing. And, obserxes a prominent fashion writer, xvho can say that she Is not showing a degree of originality hardly expected from her by some of the more skeptical'/ There are the knickers once confined to mountain climbing, and only among the courageous few at that. Now they are agitating the question of xvearing knickers for all business occasions. The bobbed-haired girl and the short-skirted miss are conjjdetely cast into the shadow for all radical purposes when it comes to this suggested departure. In the Far West, where mountain climbing and horseback riding are the usual things for wonjen, the knicker suit lias found much favor, and there the women in their colorful tweeds with xvoolen stockings are numerous. Of course, the sporting goods stores hax'e been selling knickers for some time past, and with a degree of success, but they hardly anticipated they xvere setting tlie style for city clothes. Nor can it be said, as yet, that this is a fact; but there is a real tendency In that direction, for women have begun to agitate the Idea, and when that has happened, there Is no telling where or how the controversy xvill end. It xvas so when the short skirt started its career. Knickers Made of Homespuns. The smartest of the knicker suits are made of those rough-and-ready homespuns which have been worn tiiid loved for a season or more. The bright colors, and the more somber ones, are used to make the suits with trousers instead of skirts. The knickers reach below the knees, where they are full and blousy, looking akin to golf trousers, and are met hy very “splffy" looking woolen stockings. The more fashionable ones among them are supplied with suit coats, but there are others made with capes for accompaniment—modest capes that can be xx rapped about the figure, almost if not quite disguising the fact that knickers are there at all. They are severely plain in tailoring and cut, and they are so loose and unfitted in their style that they suggest sweet and retiring things compared with the scant dresses to which our eyes have become accustomed on the summer streets. There is nothing unwomanly about these new outdoor costumes, hut some one xvill declare them unbecoming. Then xvill another fashion fight be staged, which xvill be extremely good for the fashion, but objector* cannot realize the fact. In contrast to this mode of mannish tailoring there are the soft, clinging styles which have forced their subtle xvay upon us until they have become

The Exaggerated Sleeve Carried to Ita Fz-theat Limit. a distinct part of our dressing. All of that hardness and that "steel construction look Is being slowly but surely eliminated, and If you want evidence of this all you need to do Is to visit any of Ihe smart places for lunch Just to appreciate the fact that xvxnnon’s clothes are becoming more dinging and more graceful and less subjected to rigidity of line. The reasons for this state of affairs are many, and It Is Interesting to ascertain Just why xvomen in general are cleaving to the softer type and neglecting those "hard" creations, which were anything hut flattering to Innate femininity. Not in Balbrlggan Clasa. American women, as one clever de-

Frocks of Heavy Silk Crepe Draped and Slightly Fitted. They could not be used by the hardy business woman when pattering about tlie streets—and this chiefly because their peculiarly soft and flowing lines xvould not adapt themselves to ordinary wear and tear. See all the gowns that tlie American designers are making for daytime xvear. They xvill astonish you by the beauty and simplicity which are their alluring characteristics. Do not think that they take little material. They are draped aud folded so miraculously that one fails to see where all the long pilcatures are hidden. One plait Is plied upon another, and altogether they are drnxvn into drapings nnd folds conveying the impression they represent one plain nnd simple line. I'pon examination, one finds that layers upon layers make up this effect, and accomplished In so artistic and workmanlike a manner that, for tlie magic of necromancers, it has any previous sleight-of-hand trick wiped

off the map.

For the coming season tlie American woman lias chosen to be chtffony anil slinking in her general appearance, and anyone who follows this general rule xvill not be going far astray. If she cannot afford furs, the loveliest of wraps have been designed for her outside covering. There are capes and beautiful coats xvit*i wide and floxving sleeves that cannot be distinguished from wraps, luxuriously Interlined, and the visible linings are things to conjure with, so colorful and soft are they. A wrap lining this year Is a thing to he studied with reverence, It being no simple mutter, but a combination of silk and chiffon, and gilt edgings, and bits of lace—anything that xvill add to an ensemble to make that wrap look as though it were designed to snuggle around the shoulders of a fairy princess. Tlie colors anti the materials vie xvlth each other In adding a modicum of charm. For street and restaurant xvear there are tints of dust, and sand, and taupe, and dark gray, and putty color and nny of those tones, even unto elephant's breath, xvhlch defy description as to Just xvlinf shades go to make them distinguished. They are backgrounds of beauty, so to speak, rather than adornments of that same feminine characteristic. Brocaded Silks Are in Favor. Brocaded silks are making the,great e*t lilt xvlth dressmakers designing new frocks. They are all In one tone, the figure being xvoven In satin threads, while the background Is devised from less lustrous strands. Or the Idea t un tie reversed; the material turned tin* wrong side and you have a material that has a satin background with Its pattern woven in crepe threads. The advantage of this material is that It is all silk, ami is possessed of the greatest amount of xveight, which, for these nexver dresses, Is u really necessary attribute. They must cling, while pkenteoualy full; nnd. added to all this, they must present the appearance of Irtdng quite straight-lined In character. If y»ti consider, this is not a small order, hat one that is being accomplished hy our lending designers in a manner truly beautiful and greatly to he honored for the art that fashions It. Tlie ehemise dress Inis evolved, and Is now a bnig-xvalsfed affair, or sometimes, he It knoxvn, an extremely short xx aisled affair, according to the figure of the xvearer, and is made on ample lines.

THE OLD SWEATER MADE NEW j Ravel Out Passe Garment*, Cleanse Wool and Make New Articles for Cold Weather. A well-made .worsted sweater will last years and years; hut styles in | sxventers change rapidly nowadays nnd long before the garment you knit ted xxith infinite pains has worn out its lines nnd style have become passe It is always a pity to waste good wool, and in half a morning you can ravel out the passe garment, rexvlnd tin wool, and make ready to start a new sxx'eater. Or you <’an turn your obi sweater into a scarf or a pretty bed

Jacket.

Do not attempt to knit the nex. sweater until you have soaked the xvorsted to get the kink out of it. Crtnkled-up worsted xxill not make a smooth, beautiful knitted surface and it pays to prepare your worsted care fully before you start. As you rax’el out the wool, wind It over a ehalrback to make a good-sized skein; and make each skein as full as you can; It is always a pity to break or knot worsted. Be sure and tie the skein firmly at both ends with a bit of xvorsted or white string. If you do not do this you may get Into a sad snarl with your xvet wool. Lay the skein In n basin of tepid wafer; press It down xvell until It is thorntlgldy xvet; then squeez.e out. the water and hang tlie skein to dry in the open air- hut never in strong sunshine. Cut away tl.e tied string at the loxxer end of the hanging skein and loosen the strands of xvorsted. to hasten the drying processs. Your worsted xvill dry overnight, or In a fexv hours outdoors on a aright day. When It Is quite dry, stretch the skeins over n ehnlrhack and wind the wool into neat balls.

FASHION NOTES IN BRIEF A favored Parisian combination is purple and eerise. Tlie Spanish sailor xvill lie extreme ly good this fall. Large fur cuffs on the nexv xvrappy coat serve as a muff.

THE HAT TO WEAR

Styles for Stout. Short, Slender and Other Types.

Stiff Monotonous Edge Not Becoming to Many Persons—Headgear for the Children. When choosing a hat consider well tlie folloxvlng points: A stout xxomnn, generally sjieaklng must wear a xvider brim than tlie slender one, since width In tlie lirim and height In the crown xxill tend to overbalance rouiulness of the face The short, slender xvouian xvitii » small face should almost never xvem a li.it xvlth n brim averaging more than three to three and a half incite in xvldth, Tlie long-faced woman, especially If she is tall, should avoid the tall crowned nr Dill trimmed hat. She may, however, wear a xvider brimmed hat tlmri the short, slender xxomnn. The lull stout xvonian Is often stnii nlng in a large brimmed hat, because tier height makes It |m*sitile for her to wear a hat xvhlch xvould make tie short, stout xxoman appear grotesque Hats xxith mushroom brims belong entirely to youth.

Stiff, fussy hats have no place in the xxurdrobe of tlie child. For every-day wear, a tam-o-slinn-ter made from old dress skirts, coats, or other woolen materials will serve well.
