TEN DOLLARS AND DOG.

That Is What Judge Ensmfnger Charged
Willis Mccoy for Dodging the Dog
Law
Willis Mccoy used to have a dog.
Willis is colored and lives in Topeka
where it becomes necessary at certain
times during the progress of the fiscal
period to chip in couple Of dollars per
dog toward the support of the city. Mrs.
Williams, who is also colored, does not
live in the city and to her Willis CON
fided his troubles and his dog. All this
was a year ago.
Recently Willis concluded that he
wanted the dog himself but when he
asked for it Mrs Williams didn't want to
give it up. A faint heart never caught
a good dog, however, and Willis bided
his time till the dog came to town last
week when he caught him and tied him
up in his own yard Mrs. Williams
heard about it and was largely RESPONSE
BILE for Willis appearance before Judge
Ensminger yesterday morning. The
case was argued in all its horrid details
and Willis was fined $40 and the dog.

Begin by making an entire gown Of the

lace ruchiug.
At each side Of the front gore there is
Second outlining Of the lace fashioned
Into puffs to form an infant-robe effect.
In the same way as the skirt a round
baby bodice is first made Of the chine
silk, up to putting the Siseves In and the
deep cape collar on.
Over this gather the Swiss full at the
back. letting II drop at the waist in
front In a slightiy-blouse effect.
The cape collar has a foundation OF stifr
bobbinet, which is covered with close up
and down rows OF the narrow lace ruch-
Ing to form a ruffied surface.
From the armhole inside the sleeves
come two long loops of the lace inserting
sewed together In finch strips: these loop
around the arm at the bottom OF the
sleeve and continue back to the armhole,
dragging the sleeves UP short at the in
side and leaving IL in a long pun at the
outer line. Finally. this adorable rig can
be finished with belt that could almost
make the Christmas bells themselves ring
out with Joy.

ORIGIN OF TIE SILHOUETTE.
Named After n French Banker Who FAIL
ed ~ n National Financier.


The fashion for silhouettes Is gaining
strong hold in New York, and in the
fashionable drawng-rooms very many
will be seen hanging about the walls.
Fantastic ideas OF photographlng appear
to be the popular method just now III Is
a word that every one is familiar with.
but no one probably has thought OF It's
origin, and the explanation OF that origin
as given in the Detroit Free Press, SHOWS
upon how frail basis some OF our popu-
lar words are constructed. somewhere
In the neighborhood of 100 years ago a
man started in Paris what he called
Chinese shadows, in which the exhibitor
consisted of throwing upon a sheet the
black outlines of an object. and making
these objects perform play. About thdt
time the finances of the country we're
very low. and banker by the name OF
Silhouette was called upon to take hold
of them and bolster them up. This ne
did. but failed eventually TO accomplish
the results that the people wanted, ana
this failure largely came about through
a scheme that NJ. Silhouette was inte-
rested In and upon which he published
q book called "a General Idea for the
Government of the Chinese" The popu-
larlty OF the Chinese shadows caused
many people 10 say that the Minister or
Finance was publishing this book as an
advertisement for the shadows. the snow
was called Silhouette in derision, ana that
name has chung to that particular pic
ture ever since.
Lavater. who IL about the only man
who has made study OF this shadow af''
and certainly the only one who has ac-
CURED any fame through IL. reduced IL
TO a science. and said that there were
nine sections to be considered In making
these portraits: a. the arc from the top
OF the head 10 the end Of the hair;
CD the shape OF the forehead 10 the
eyebrows: G.) the space between the eye
brow and the top of the nose; a. the
nose to the beginning OF the upper lip;
60 NE upper lip; 90 the point where the
two lips meet and the completion OF the
lower lip; a. the portion between the
lower lip and the chin: 90 the chin; CD
the throat.
The method pursued by those few
artists who make this sort OF thing 0
feature Is 10 employ a chair made espe-
ciaily for the purpose. and which has
rvsts that will hold the body and the
head in an immovable position. The
shadow Is thon reflected on a paper that
Is stretched over q piece Of glass and
placed In O movable frame. and which
works up and down In another frame
that Is attached TO one arm OF
the chair. The shadow Is thrown on
this paper by an artificial Nsht at
the eppositS side Of the CHAIR away from

the frame. The artist then outlines upon
the paper with a crayon the shadow that
is there cast This is an absolute sill
houette. Those that are cut oif-hand
from piece Of black paper are often ex-
cellent. but are not what the early artists
understood by the word, and are not
what has now come into fashion. In
making them for society purposes these
slhouettes are photographed-tha IS.
after the subject has been seated and
the shadow thrown on the paper the
camera Is brought to bear upon IL. and
a negative Is made. which Is printed off
as any other photograph. but in place OF
the former profile showing the features
in a natural condition, there now exist
merely the outlines and solid-black
mass within.

The Holiday Feeling.
CHarper's BaZar.)

Weeks before Christmas the holiday feel
ing creeps into the consciousness Of the
most apathetic, sets the blood moving at
a quicker pace, fills us with a strange
new pleasure and binds us closer TO our
fellow-men. Everybody feels IL. Richer
or poorer, with money to spend, or strug-
Cling for money 10 keep the wolf from
the door, the subtle gladness of the holi-
day season affects us all. Christmas Is
coming, is the tune which wakens the
dance in the weariest foot. and for the
hour restores TO the most world-worn his
childish anticipations OF great overlooking
delight at Christmas-tide.
One sees the reflection Of this holiday
feeling In the keen faces Of businessmen
as they Join the procession OF home-going
folk in the late afternoon. Ordinarily
people rebel against being loaded down
with bundles. and your city dweler SUI
perbly has his sent home: but in the joyful
weeks between Thanksgiving and Christ
mas this is otherwise. and no suburban
resident vending his way at nightfall 10
boat or train more cheerfully bows his
shoulder to the burden OF packages, large
and small. than does paterfamilias on his
way from downtown to the neighborhood
of Central Park.
To carry bundles is the thing to do at
and before the holidays And not only
must one surrender ones self TO the
CHEEKY bearing Of these, one must as
well see TO the disposition of them once
they are safe at home. II Is only when
the holiday feeling Is strong within him
that the respectable elderly citlzep tip
toes softly up his own steps, and STEALTH
lily turning the key In his own
door. let's himself into his own house
with the mysterious secrecy OF a burglar
The holiday feeling Is alone responsible
for a great deal of plotting and planning
and innocent conspiracy on the part or
mothers, usually as transparency truth
full as the mirrors into which they daily
glance. But we are In the same beatifc
condition, the young and the old, and
the middIe-aged: we are gradually. day
by day, growing into the state OF spark
ling and effervescent gayety which belts
the Christmas mood and temper.
