~ knows that it is a
hopeless task to
shorten the waist of a gar
ment cut too long and
very difficult to make a
perfect fit by frightening
the waist line in a dress
cut too short.
All paper patterns have
more or less imperfections
and no two systems of
dress cutting agree, SO a
faultlessly fitting waist is
an exception.

LOUISVILLE. Ky, Sept 16.-Dr. j. ..
Green arrived In tins city last night. He
confirms the truth on the anding OF Robert
Ray Hamilton's body In Snake river.
DIR. Green says there Is no doubt that the
body found was that of Robert Ray Hamil-
ton, I'm spite Of doubts expressed. In New
York. The body had been In the water
many days. Hamilton probably attempted
to ford the river az night. He was good
swimmer and probably cast himself loose
from his horse and attempted 90 swim
ashore. His spurs clogged with the water
weeds, and may be they cost him his life.
There we're no marks of violence on the
body
