they had been found. On Saturday af.
ter-noon the girls became insubordinate
and then the police were called upon to
restore order. Why the police of Will
mington should be obliged to settle such
matters cannot be generally explained
Sergeant Lucas was detailed on the case
and as he walked away from the school
feeling that his fatherly advice had settled
the trouble he heard a crash. An investi-
cation showed that the Dean girl had
smashed the panels out Of her room door
and was determined 10 fight for liberty.
Then she ran to her companions door and
performed the same trick. Then there
was trouble sure. Assistant Matro1 Mrs,
Mcguire approached the giyl and Della
promptly slapped her in the face. Quick
as flash Mrs. Mcguire sent the girl to
the floor and th0n Della began to beg. The

St. Johns, N. f., Jan. 22,--Another
rain storm, with fierce gale, yes
terday prevented the intended effort
to recover the bodies Of the victims Of
the Helgoland disaster. The effect of
the storm upon the sea will probably
postpone the attempt for two or three
days, and it Is now feared that, owing
to the continuance Of rough weather,
such as is usual at this season, few,
if any, of the bodies will ultimately be
recovered.

PRICE IS CENTS,
al Ladies' Eton Jacket, No. 1904.
(Hints by May Manton.)

At present outside garments
seem to be divided into classes, the
long coats with box backs and the
smart Eton jackets. The latter
are particularly effective when
worn with the new boX-plaited
skirts, and the one Illustrated COM
bincs the most fashionable features
high collar, broad revers and seal
oped sleeves.
Admiral blue broadcloth is here
combined with velvet of darker
shade.
The jacket is close fitting in the
back, perfect adjustment being
made with the smartly curved un-
der-arm gore.
The fronts are shaped with single
bust darts and deeply urder-faccd
with velvet, reversing to show broad
lapels. The stylish, tlaring collar
is also faced with velvet, and meets
the revers in deep notches at the
neck.
The correct two-piece sleeve is
scalloped at the hand in approved
style, having but slight fullness at
the shoulder.
This model reaches just to the
waist line at the back and around
to the dart in front, where it dips
in fashionable pointed shaping. 1t
can be worn open-over a vest or
fancy waist-or, if preferred, may
be Tapped in double-breasted effect
and closed with fancy silver but
tons.
Pebble cheviot, Venetian, serge
or prunella are appropriate mater
ial, with revers and collar of velvet,
silk or lace.

dium size will require one and
three-eighths yards of material

No. 1904, is cut in sizes for 32, "a,
sc, 3S, 40 and42-inch bust measure.
