March "0 he appeared at the Western penitentiary and surrendered. Recently the wife wrote the attorney for the post: "I trust that you will be successful In obtaining a pardon for my husband. Life lo me is not worth living without him. although I would wait patiently to the end of his sentence if it had to be done.

A gift of several millions of dollars on his forty-sixth wedding anniversary to William Shipley, veteran lock temler on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, brought this comment : 'Kill y. what in h ;1 will I do with all that money?" But Hilly, his wife, whose full name i Margaret Catherine Urella Shipley, has plans for its expenditure. Standing on the rickety stps of the fourroom tumbledown, fac.uig the canal and the Potomac at a point a few miles above Hagerstown, she smoothed her black and white calico wrapper and told what she would do. "I'd want to give to the poor first." she smiled, her faded gray eyes lighting n she talked -Then I'd like a houe at Halfway. It's t quiet here.

After two years residence there they emigrated to America and landed at New York with a band of other exiles under the protection of missionaries. Shortly after arriving In New York the fandly came by tedious stages to Illinois, settling in Jacksonville. From then on Jacksonville was the family home. The Alves family is noted for longevity. John Alves of Salt Lake Cityr who Is only eighty years old, is the "baby." Manuel Alves, a farmer living near Jacksonville, is ninety-six years old; Mrs. J. Figueria of Brook -Iyn, eighty-seven; and J. J. Alves of Fanningdale, 111., eighty-three. Mrs. Smith is the oldest member of the family.

"So we talked It over, but his thoughts were of me. I promised him that I would do the best I could, and stay by him to the end, if he would take what few dollars we had for train fare and go back to finish what he had tried to escape from, so that he might have a contented mind. This he did. We have no children The petition for pardon states that Dress can show the pardon board that It 'would be to the best interests of society and himself that he should be released, and that the moral battle won over himself shows that he is truly repentant and is a proper and fit person for leniency. Except the Names leave them and she couldn't take care of them alone. One day not long ago Mavis found an old friend, Jack Carlin. Jack had sat behind her in the old white schoolhouse. Mavis told him all about Dick and the fivo children. Jack, who had Just got out of a hospital for convalescent soldiers, asked her to be his wife. He said he had been trying to find her ever since she disappeared from Tennessee. Mavis thought it over for several weeks. 4 Then she put it up to Dick. Dick said he guessed It would be all right. He gave her money toward her wedding clothes and wished her happiness. I5ut he also filed a petition to adopt all five of the children, intending to send them to his mother In the South.

Dotted Fabric, Popular Years Ago, for Summsr Vear.

New Material Will Be Different From That of Grandmother's Day; Wider Color Range. The simple old times of our grandmothers are going to be revived this summer in the use of the dotted swiss that fashioned the summer gown of C) years ago. Of course, the new dotted swiss will be somewhat different from the simple white material of other days, ns the dotted material of this year is infinite In its color range. However, there will be considerable plain white swiss used, as well'as the more fanciful materials in this designation. Organdie will also be a prime favorite, and a very lovely new , organdie gown seen recently featured a combination of this material with a heavy torchon .lace that was applied in a deep band to the skirt. In the dotted Swisses one of the most striking, models was shown recently in a cherry-colored dotted swiss cut on very simple lines and decorated with a deep sash of self-material. This costume was completed by a hat of dotted swiss with a drooping brim laden with cherries. A quaint and charming gown of shell-pink dotted swiss seen recently showed a skirt with a plain front and back panel anl three side tunics made of ru files of the dotted swiss set together with organdie eyelet beading. The bodice was cut on bolero lines and showed a vest of tucked white organdie and white organdie beading outlining the edge of the bolero. Two tiny plaited ruflles of the organdie completed the round neck and short sleeves, while a tiny bow of black velvet ribbon nestled at the throat, with long ends that dropped to the waist line. Another charming summer frock AN IDEAL MOTORING OUTFIT Coat of brown velou.ö trimmed with glazed leather in self tone. The hat Is one of the newest models with a serviceable and prettily draped veil attached. PARIS STYLES Overgarment in Contrasting Color to ' Tailored Suit Is Distinctive Note in Fashions. The blouse In contrasting color to the skirt or to the tailored suit Is the distinctive note in fashions in blouses for spring in Paris, says the Dry Goods Economist. With practically no exceptions, blouses worn with skirt and jacket suits are shown in brilliant contrasting colors. The day of the blouse In matching crepe for wear with suits Is finished and the colored blouse In taffeta, voile or crepe de chine, or the blouse In bold striped silk tussah or linen is now the great vogue. Quantities of blouses in waxed satin and in kid, covered with an all-over embroidery in contrasting color, are featured at Hence for wear with suits. These blouses are simply made, are In slip-over-the-head style, have rounded necks, and short sleeves the bodices are flat at the front and, as a rule, close in surplice fashion at the back. The belt is cut in one with the bodice section and buttons snugly uro u ml the hips at either side. New Paraso.'s. The time for parasols is nearly here, and there are lovely new models to tempt us.

The skirt is formed of three deep scalloped flounces of the dotted swiss, bound with white organdie, that are set on a yoke of the white voile. The voile forms the bloused bodice that has a row of pin tucking down the front elaborated with white crocheted buttons. The round neck and short sleeves are decorated with plain bands of the blue dotted swiss. STYLES FOR KIDDIE CLOTHES Great Leeway Admitted in Fashions for Younger Set Same as for Grownups. The time Is certainly past when children's clothes can be purchased ready to wear for a mere song. Making them at home Is a great saving this season, especially if the stores are carefully "shopped" for bargains In materials. Fortunately no one style dominates the style field for children (for the matter of that, great leeway is admitted in fashions for grownups as well) and variety is really the important point to achieve. Cotton poplin is In high favor for sturdy service dresses for little girls and for suits for small boys. Cotton crepe is another fabric that Is a favorite when clothes for everyday wear are under consideration. The small girl will be becomingly outfitted In voile, organdie, swiss and similar transparent fabrics when really warm weather arrives that is, for somewhat dressy occasions but the sturdy percales, poplins, chambrays and cotton crepes will be selected for play hours. Vivid, rather dark, or at least medium shades are in great favor for service clothes for members of the younger set. Jade green is liked and is very smart when becoming. Marigold yellow and a medium blue are much used. Sharpen Scissors. By accident one day a certain housewife discovered that cutting sandpaper sharpened her scissors. Now she does not have to wait for the scissors grinder to come around, for she always keeps a sheet of sandpaper in her machine drawer to sharpen her scissors with. Combines Coat and Cape. A type of coat suggested for general wear is the model which combines coat and cape. Sometimes the coat proper, a rather well fitted affair, is topped with a hip or waist length. Again a cape is simulated by the wide, flaring sleeves. IN BLOUSES of fur, matching the summer cape wrap. Parasols of unique shapes are many and the shapes vary some are oblong, others diamond shaped, bell, mushroom, pagoda apd regular. Parasol materials are. silk, net. lace and cretonne, as well as linen and fur, as noted above. HIGH COLLAR PARIS VOGUE All French Garments Do Not Have Choker Neck Adornment, but Collar is Favored. Persistent are rumors that come from Paris that the high collar is a commanding note of the current vogue a story that is borne out by a page in the French magazine Temina," devoted to new blouses. Though they do not all have a choker collar, all the blouses In the group have collars of generous proportions, an unusual contrast with the hTt oval that has been long included in French blouse styles. There Is, however, a good proportion of collars boned tc stand up to the ears, reminiscent of the days when embroidered strips were in great demand to make separate choker collars. Two of the prettiest French waists have this high collar growing out of a yoke that capes the shoulders, one of self material set into the model, the other of lingerie against a silk blouse, the yoke falling over softlv In bertha fashion. Both collars flare out under the ears, one with a bow of ribbon set high to accentuate the ruffle finish.

' GAVE AMATEUR "SOFT" PART Pompous Individual Duly Awarded Him "Place in the Sun," as He Had Requested. The Swampton Dramatic society wanted their annual performance to be a success, so they engaged a professional from London to arrange it all. As soon as this gentleman appeared one of the amateurs tackled him. "I must have a role to suit me," he began pompously. "I always play one of the principal parts In our shows, and so far I've been most "successful." "Excuse me," interposed the professional, "but you must allow me to be the judge of the most suitable cast." The first rehearsal occurred a few days later. When the cast was read out the pushing amateur found he had been left out altogether. "Why have I not got a part?" he demanded angrily. "You have a part, all right," replied the producer. "You are to be the first banana In the fruit-market scene." London Answers. Foolproof. "Ilenry, an agent came to the house this morning with a new kind of canopener to sell." "Well?" "He said It was foolproof." "Ah! That's pretty good. Any brainless woman can use It, eh?" "Perhaps.

"Can't do it I" retorted Wellington, briefly, but firmly. "Can't do it? Won't do It. you mean!" snorted the manager. "Why won't you do It?" "Because it can't be done.
