Another LONDON scandal.

English women, and American wom-
en-. too. will admire the pluck of Mrs.
Andrew Barclay Walker. daughter-in-
law of Sir Andrew B. Walker of Liver
pool. England, the wealthy brewer, fer
sueing her husband to recover possess
sion of the jewelry he gave her when
she was his fiancee. Mrs. Walker
recently obtained a separation from
her husband and $4,000 alimony annu-
ally. Walker then took possession of
Mrs. Walkers jewelry and refused to
return t. So she sued for it and the
jury returned verdict in her favor.
Walker is amply able to pay the ALI
mony. The young man inherited a
large fortune, which, like many 9TH
ers In England. was made in beer. The
Walkers are Scotch, sometimes they
bone. The grandfather of the defend
ant. plain Peter Walker. was a rag
and bone merchant OF Glasgow. Of
thrifty turn of mind. he and his son,
Sir Andrew. saved enough out of the
meager profits OF their business to
start public house or saloon. With
skill and business foresight the little
saloon has grown into one of the iarg-
est brewing firms in England
Andrew Barclay Walker is 80 years
old and was graduated from Cam
bridge. He is not only yachtsman.
but an admirable polo player as well.
and 1t was a surprise when It became
known that he had plunged into dis
sipation. When the International Gun
races were occupying the public mind
two years ago, Mr.. Walkers name was
constantly on the lips OF yachtsmen
on both sides of the Atlantic, because
there was a possibility that the Ailsa
would become the International Gun
challenger in place OF the valkyrie III.
She would have been accepted under
the agreement made by Lord Dunravon
had she proved faster than the latt ,r
boat.

4 Modest Skating Rig.

The modest skating costume has a
skirt cut about four inches shorter
than a walking skirt. II fits snugly
about the hips and flares trihe at
the bottom. Short fur boleroes are
much in vogue and they are worn over
a Russian blouse. held in place at the
waist line by fancy belt. Skirts are
trimmed with bands OF fur. Every
costume for the ice has a nun to
match the fur which trims the gown.
A dainty evening frock is OF black
lace over pale green silk. the lace on
the front OF the skirt describing down
ward points, enriched with seQuins.
The lace forms a bolero over full
front OF green chiffon. and telling
touches OF crocus mauve are added in
the clusters of hydrangea and loops of
satin ribbon. The sleeves are long,
and consist OF black set over green
chiffon. The bodice is half-high in
front. and is cut away in big Win
the back. Another charming frock is
OF white and gold brocade with five
ruches of yellow chiffon around the
skirt. Folds OF the chiffon are draped
from the left shoulder to the waist.

This is question rs common today as
the old one OF where do all the pins

by the fact that whole car loads OF
ancient wheels are shipped every year

poor negroes most abound. The black

THE WAR REVENUE.
Official Ruling Upon Many Doubtful
 Clauses.

There was a confusing vagueness in many provisions of the war revenue bill. Every day questions are asked which even the collectors and their deputies cannot answer. Collector has authorized to be published rulings upon the following points:
 The collector has no power to ap- point agents for the sale of stamps un- der the war revenue law. The only way stamps can be sold outside of the collectors office is by banks or other places of business buying $100 or more of stamps of the various denomina- aions and selling them to the public. The government allows a discount of I per cent on all such purchases. It is useless to request the collector. by let ter, to appoint agents, as he cannot do so in any case.
 Unless the following classes of busi- ness men have the form No. II in the collectors office before the 31st of the present month, a penalty of 50 per cent will be added to their taxes. Bankers, brokers, pawnbrokers, com mercial brokers. custom house brOk- CTS, proprietors of circuses, proprietors
