that better protection should be ar

framed on ideas borrowed rum every
age except recent ones. There was a
Greek draped gown in soft creamy
white, with fretwork border in gold,
simply girdled and worn by a girl of
fairest blonde type, whose hair was
coiled in Pysche knot and whose eyes
made havoc where they looked. There
was an empire gown in golden bronzes,
short-wsisted, slender skirted. 1.-the.

There was another empire gown in

from the low corsage. And she who
wore il was slender and black eyed and
beautiful with grace in every pose. And
she made everybody present see how
very much prettier were gowns in the
DAYS of the first than those of the third
Napoleon.

girls are extremely pretty, with flush

the other an equally decided brunette

which the boss hurled opprobrious
epithets at the congressman, certain
things were revealed TO the many on
lockers which were hushed up at the
time. Some of these things are be-
ginning to crop out, with the result
that Cochran finds himself in an en-
barrassing position.
In the first place the congressman Is
charged with being very friendly
howard the Havemcyers of the sugar
trust. It seems that a startling reve-
aation of this matter was on the eve of
disclosure when Cochran went to Croker
and requested his influence in sup
pressing the evidence. Croker did as
he was asked, and it appears that when
Cochran was asked questions about
sugar trust affairs he could safely re-
ply that he had no documents in his
possession regarding the schedules,
and knew of the existence Of none.
It seems now that Cochran is handi
capped in his alleged hostility to Gro
ker by this fact. Indeed, it is stated
that the quarrel of Cochran with Croker
is more nominal than real. and that
while pretending to be enemies the
men are warm friends.
A curious story was circulated in this
connection very recently to the effect
that both Cochran and Croker are in
terested in quiet effort to have the
city acquire property for the sake of
duplicating that famous prison, the
Tombs. The Tombs is a historic
old structure, and, while admittedly in
adequate to the demands made upon it,
will hardly be relieved of the strain by
the construction of another TOmbs.
Not only is Croker not interested in the
deal for the new prison site, but neither
lie nor Cochran is concerned to as great
an extent in realty transactions as
