About Underwear.

A change is coming over the feminine
taste in the matter of underlinen. 1t is now
no longer one mass of lace and frills. In
fact, frills, even on the hem of the gar
ments, are distinctly out of vogue, and
now the whole attention is given up to cut.
A simple real Valenciennes trimming round
the neck, with a tiny baby ribbon and the
initial embroidered on the left shoulder
is the latest smart thing to wear: But the
cut-that is the difficulty: for all the beauty
of these delicate undergarments depends
entirely on the fit. Combinations are dying
out, except for bicycling and active sports

rushed up TO her and held the revolver
to her temple in his final effort to end
her life, but Mrs. Branch threw up her
right arm and the revolver was knocked
aside, and the bullet that was intended
for her head pierced her wrist. Branch,
thinking he had ended her life, turned
the revolver upon himself. Placing
the muzzle of the weapon against the
right side of his head he pulled the
trigger, and fell in the road beside the

Must Paw Their Taxes,

Accomplishment Oren on the 2sth
furnished Secretary of State Stearns
with an opinion to the effect that
shares Of stock in foreign building and
loan associations when held in this
state are taxable. Heretofore the as
sociations of other states have claimed
exemption from taxation on their
stock in Michigan. Domestic building
and loan associations are exempted
from taxation in the state under sec
ton II of act No. 80, of the laws of
1897. But the encouragement de-
cides that this act is not broad enough
to cover the stock of associations of
other states, owned by persons resid-
ing in Michigan, and that all such
shares of stock are subject to taxation
at the domicile of the shareholder I'M
der the general law in this state.

thority to order the closing of public
places. This lies with the governing
authorities.
