LINES ABOUT THE THROAT
Clever Devices That Are a Boon to
Middle-Aged Ladies

Years, as they increase, leave the track
of their wheels first on the throat. Some
times a woman may have soft, smooth
complexion, and shapely juvenile figure,
even when advanced in middle age, and she
might pass for quite young were 1t not
for those tell-tale lines at her throat. And
these are so successfully concealed by the
ruffle that we need not wonder at its long
reign Of favoritism, comments LIE journal
des Modes.
Middle-aged women, therefore. cannot
be too thankful to the ruffle and they can
not coax fashion too much to keep 1t in
favor. For evening, with low-necked
dresses we cannot wear ruffle round the
throat, but we can wear dog collar Of
Jewels, or even of plain velvet. Many
ladies who have long passed their YOUTH
have still remarkably good shoulders, but
a CORDED neck. Let them at once adopt
a dog collar or ruffle. and they may wear
low-necked dresses as long as they like.
I know a woman who has quite a va
riety which are embroidered with spangles
and colored beads. The band must be wide
enough to cover the whole of the neck and
reach we'll up to the chin. The Princess
l of Wales owes much to her dog collar in
the preservation of her extraordinary
youthful appearance.
But to those who can still show a pure
white throat, I say, do so. Air and liberty
strengthen the throat and neck. Time
will come but too quickly when the dog
collar or ruffle may become a necessity
more than an ornament.-Washington
Times.

THE PATTLSON CASE
The Nice State of Affairs in Rich
Family Revealed in Court

The suit of Mary J. Pattison against
James, II. W., Frank j., Maggie Pattison,
George Mccarthy (formerly Pattison) and
her husband, E. Mccarthy, which has been
on trial for several days was argued yes
terday in Department five before Judge
Ballard of Orange county. H. w. Patti
son is the husband and cousin of the plain
tiff, and both are we'll known people; the
other defendants are Pattison'S children
by a former marriage
Mrs. Pattison wants a divorce from her
husband on the ground of extreme cruelty,
and also a decree awarding her the Patti
son homestead on Fort hill during her
natural life and a reasonable monthly al
lowance as permanent alimony. The
children of Pattison were made code
PENDANTS in the suit on account of the
transfer of his property, made to them by
their father, which the plaintiff declares
to have been fradulently conveyed for the
purpose Of beating her out of alimony.
Mr. Pattison married his present wife
in 1894 At that time he had two daugh-
ters, Maggie, II years old, and George,
about Is years of age. The plaintiff claimed
that these two damsels drank to excess,
which habit was increased after George
married and left home. Plaintiff claimed
that her influence for good over these
young women was of no avail, and her
remonstrances met with such answers as
"Pretended Christians are d. thieves and
liars" and You are a G. d. fool, any
how" These amiable step-daughters were
in the habit of cursing her, and George
told her one time that she was IAN old
slop barrel and to go away or she would
kill her. Many other instances were re-
lated of the cruelty and insolence of the
girls, and it was alleged that it was with
the consent and connivance of their father
that they abused their step-mother.
She felt in such great danger from the
threats and violence of the young wo-
men that she had to have a policeman
detailed to watch the house in case she
needed help. Besides drinking a plenty

of staying out late at night and associat-

Pattison said that his wife did not take
kindly to his children and felt no interest
in their education. "From their way of
conducting themselves" said Mr. Dunni-
gan, in his argument last night, at is not
to be wondered that Mrs. Pattison could
have no motherly feeling for them. Talk
of education! Bah! You cannot make silk
purses out of sow's ear"

WHO MUST PAYr
Two Street Car Companies Go to Law
Upon This Question

The suit Of the Main Street and Agricul-
tural Park Railroad company VS.. the Los
Angeles Traction company was on trial
yesterday before Judge Van Dyke. The
plaintiff alleges that when 1t reconstructed
its road it spread its tracks from eight and
a half feet from center to center of tracks
to eleven feet. Where the line of the plain
tiff connects with the line of defendant on
Main street near Third the expense of con-
nection was S126O. This the plaintiff
claimed was to be paid by the defendant
in accordance with the contracts entered
into before the Main street line was recon-
structed.
The Traction company's defense is that
it notified the plaintiff to make no changes
or alterations to it's tracks. except at its
own peril and expense, and that it would
not stand good for any of the expenditures
incurred by the Main street line.
The case will come up again today.
