DOWNING COMMITS SUICIDE,
The Alleged Spanish Spy Becomes Hi
Own Executioner

The Alleged Spanish Spy Becomes His
Own Executioner.
Washington, May 13.-George Down.
Ing, alias Rawlings, the man arrested
last Sunday under suspicion of being a
spy in the service of Spain, hanged
himself at the Washington barracks
yesterday. A towel and a silk hand
kerchief were used as the instruments
of death. The guard who passed back
and forth through the corridor had
seen Downing a few minutes before
sitting on his cot reading a magazine.
When he returned the alleged spy was
found hanging from a bar across the
top of his cell. The moose had been
prepared with the skill of profession
al 'hangman the knot being Just below
his ear. When discovered life was not
yet extinct. but the efforts to preserve
his life were futile and Downing soon
expired. Wednesday Downing gave
evidences of breaking down; and after
speaking of his coming trial. the GER
tainty of conviction and his lack of
friends, he collapsed entirely and wept.
The officer In command of the bar
racks talked with him, and acceded to
his request that he be permitted to
write to his mother In England. The
letter, he was promised, should be sent
If 1t contained no improper information.

1t is said that bangs are coming into

they should not be beguiled into con-
cealing their brows under a bang. AS
yet the bang has not arrived Per-
haps the little curling tendrils that
femininity is trying to train down over
its forehead are the forerunners of
bangs. When banged hair is becom-
Ing, it is very, very becoming; but
when 1t isn't, like the bad little girl
everybody knows about, it is horrid.
Just at the minute the newest way OF
dressing the front hair is to comb it
back and let it lie perfectly fiat on
the head in front, while it is puffed out
on the sides. A fringe of little curls
should fall naturally over the forehead,
even If they have to be manufactured
with a broiling-hot curling iron. The
hair should always be dressed so that

The Servants Table Etinuett.

While there is quite difference OF
opinion among authorities as to which
side Of the diner the waiter should
place the soup, meat, water, etc, and
remove the soiled plates, the weight of
opinion seems to favor the left, as
there is always less danger there of in
terfering with the hands Of the person
served-if engrossed in conversation
he fails to notice the approach Of the
waiter, About dishes from which
guests are to help themselves, there is
no question. Those are invariably
passed to the left. In serving, the
larger dishes and platters are usually
carried by napkin in the hand, but
smaller ones are passed on a tray
While the carver is busy the waiter
stands at his left, ready to take each
plate as served.

Why Boggs made the charge do not
know. No man ever came back and gave
himself up without some hope Of being

terrible, and he wishes to drag down some

Padded Hips the Thing If You Would
Be In Fashion.

Fadded Hips the Thing If You Would
Be In Fashion.
The fashion for padding the hips has
become so common now, writes Par
is correspondent, that l must speak Of
1t as an established custom. Some
people seem to have a horror Of it, but
then, when one thinks of it, what is
there so much worse about putting lit
tie bustles on the hips thSa putting
little hustle at the back, and yet the
most decorous Of US wear those now,
for dress is not fashionable without
one.
And so, my lady, pad your hips if
nature Has not been sufficiently lavish
with you, and be in vogue. All sorts
Of things are used for these pads.
Some use hair, but that is heating and
unwholesome, others swansdown,
which is all very well in winter but
something like eternal torment for heat
In the summer.
Some have layers Of cotton batting,
but that is heavy and drags one down,
and some have gathers of crinolne or
canvas, but these are bulky and always
getting awry, SO that the best things
to use are the little pads that come
prepared like hustle of fine feather
bone run into satin or silk like the
little bustles for the back.
OF course, the padded hips give a
very small effect to the waist, which
itself is drawn in very tight just at
the belt line, and the rest of the figure
left to spread out as large as it wishes
above, short corsets being worn to give
the effect.
The hip pads should be made very
secure to the belt or the effect is gro
tesque with them slipping all about or
getting out of place to make one look
as If one had tumor. The best way
is to have them made into each dress
and fastened securely to the belt.
Some hip pads come in one with the
hustle for the back and this is the best
form Of all, as it looks more like the
natural figure than any Of the separate
affairs.

The woman who had charge OF a
banquet recently given in Washin gton
by a patriotic society of women noti-
fed each member of the toast she
would be expected to respond to ten
days or so before the meeting. To
one young woman, whom she did not
know personally, she sent the toast.

ceived 1t, and at once went to call on
the head of the society in a state Of
great distress. She simply could not
respond to the toast, she said. She
didn't know whether a joke was in
tended, but she had been chaffed IN
mercifully about 1t already, and
wouldn't 90 near the meeting If sho
