Pomona Ordinance Upheld

In the case of the people VS.. z. Tis-
nerat, an appeal from the recorders
court of Pomona, Judge Smith yester-
day gave an opinion afflrming the judg
ment Of the lower court. Tisnerat keeps
a place at Pomona and was convicted of
violation of ordinance No. 149, regula-
ting the sale of liquor. The ordinance
prohibits the sale of spirituous or vinous
liquors, except that the prohibition shall
not apply to the sale of wines in quanti-
ties of two gallons or over, or to the sale
of alcohol for chemical or mechanical
purposes. Tisnerat sold wine in less
quantities than two gallons, but it was
urged in his defense that he did not
come within the prohibition for the rea-
son that he grew the grapes from which
the wine was made. Judge Smith holds
that this contention is not we'll taken,
for the reason that if it was sustained
it would practically do away with the
regulation of the liquor traffic, for the
reason that brandy. whisky or beer
might be sold with impunity If it could
be shown that the grapes or grain from
which it was manufactured was grown
by the vender

Divorces Granted

The divorce suit of Jessie A. Sawhill
against F. H. Sawhill was tried before
Judge York yesterday and resulted in
a decree for the plaintiff, who was
awarded all of the community property
and 500 a month permanent alimony.
Sawhill is a dentist who had an office
at Twenty-third and Hoover streets,
and the grounds on which divorce was
asked was adultery. 1t appears that the
plaintiff had reason to suspect her hus-
band of infidelity, and stationed a spy
in the attic above the dental Office from
which view of the office could be had.
On several occasions the defendant was
witnessed in the act with divers women.
In the divorce suit of Deborah K.
Bascom against Charles NJ. Bascom,
also tried before Judge York, a decree
was given for the plaintiff on the ground
of desertion. The parties live at Pasa-

SPRING STYLES.

FaII 4EantIas and Short Capes-sieevas
Surely Diminishing-So Some Quite Light.
The new capes will be short, falling lit
tie below the waist, while mantles and
pelisses will extend to the foot Of the skirt
and be cut in q similar bell shape. As the
width of skirts is visibly decreasing, these
long ulantles will also diminish in amph-
tude For ordinary service they are made
most frequently of thin mixed goods, which
wear well and show neither dust nor the
effects of dampness These long, full gar
ments arc most frequently mounted on a
yoke to avoid the clumsiness Of gathers
around the neck, but the yoke is concealed
by a capuchin with revers. The band it
self may be full and round or pointed and
fat, and it is lined with silk The body Of
the mantle is usually unlined. There are
two openings in front for the arms, which
are marked by folds, bows of ribbon or
bands Of passemen terie. The back is held
in to the figure at the waist line.
The proportions of sleeves are decidedly
diminishing. The sleeves Of both gown

cred in different tones. There are also
capes Of plain grenadine over oolored silk,
usually taffeta or glaoe MORE. Black lace

most effective com binations in these fanci-

nainsook or muslin.
Short coats are replacing Jackets. They
open in front to show a jabot Of mousseline
or lace or a vest of satin or brocade The
basque is not of equal length all around,
the front being cut short. The ripples are
less accumulated than they were during

Six drops of olive oil carefully massaged
about the face and throat, left on over
night and washed of with tepid water
and no soap in the morning, will, it is
said, do wonders in the way Of holding at
bay those first telltaIe wrinkles that all
women dread. The treatment should be
repeated every third night, unless it is
found that this makes the skin too oily,
when little longer interval may be OBJ
served. Use the tips Of the fingers and
stroke the oil ia gently and firmly.
