 HIS IMPRISONMENT
Man Saw Too Much of the Inside of the City Prison-Hard to Prove
 Himself True

Last night while a curious crowd had gathered in the police station to hear the meanings of a prisoner who had just been arrested and brought to the station by force, one of tue over-curious walked in- side the jail walls behind the officers The warden did not see him go in, and when the curious man asked that the prison door be opened his request was refused. The warden thought him a prisoner and there was nothing to prove that he was not.
 Notwithstanding the mans vigorous pro- tests and threats to sue the city he was kept in jail nearly an hour until the war den decided the man was really not a prisoner. Upon releasing the obstreparous man the warden remarked that it was a good lesson to rubber necks" r-

In the Chancery Court Claude D. Eber- sole has filed a suit against the Southern Building and Loan Association and c. L.. Nolan, trustee.
 Plaintiff claims that on July 5, 1SS9 he subscribed for 20 shares of stock, and for 20 shares on October 5, 1S90 all of which the defendant company promised and agreed would mature when P monthly in- stallments had been paid, which plaintiff alleges he has done, but that company re- fuses to issue to him paid-up stock.

THE DINING ROOM.
New York.

Every dining room should have it's
rug. The quality of this rug must,
however, vary with the purchasing
power of the Individual. Two things
ought to be remembered: The rug must
not be SO thin that it rolls up with ev-
cry chair that is drawn across 1t, nor
so thick that no chair can be drawn at
all. The rug may be laid over a bare
floor a carpet, a filling or a. mating
Rugs made of pieces of carpeting,
with a border, are never possible in
really beautiful dining rooms and are
only to be considered when questions of
economy have to enter in. 1t must not
be understood by this that these rugs
are in bad taste, but simply that they
are a confession of weakness, as it
We're, of the necessity of using some
thing which a salesman sometimes

kind are manufactured today.
The housekeeper has only to take the
dimensions of her room, state what
price she can afford to pay and then
choose the best that comes within the
range. Rugs ought always to be lower
in color key than the rest of the room,
or they seem to jump UP at you and
make most unpleasant effect.

about to furnish house would do well
to bear in mind if they wish their rooms
to be not only in good taste and artis-

in one comprehensive word, thoroughly
dainty in every respect:
| Don't overload your rooms with fur

| Don't choose deliberately designed
curtains, hangings or tablecloths for a
room with floral paper.
Don't waste your money on whole
accumulation. of cheap bric-a-brac. 1t
only helps to gather dust and dirt.
Don't choose plain curtains with a
plain carpet and wall paper.
| Don't choose a blue paper and white
paint for a room with a cold. e.,
northern-aspect.
Don't indulge in painted milking
stools or painted drain pipes.
Don't waste your money on plush
brackets, plush cup and saucer holders
or painted tambourines.

with anything at all.
Don't buy limitations of good things

JAPANESE DOGS.

In Japan people are very fond of
small animals-indeed they prefer most
things in miniature-so the japanese
spaniels are the smallest dogs in the
world
They are generally black and white or
yellow and white. and the smaller they
are the greater is their price. Two hun
dred and fifty dollars was lately paid
abroad for a tiny puppy of year old
weighing about five pounds. Should
any one succeed in rearing a spaniel
weighing only three pounds he can
command his own price for this almost
unique pet People have been known to
pay $3.50 for such a dog.
A little spaniel of this kind can sit
easily on mans head or even sleep in
his shoe Still these rare pets need
great deal of care and attention-quite
as much as baby does-for they have
to be watched and tended almost like
infants.
They are dear little things and may
with proper attention, live to be u
years of age.

are like the plague, an evil to avoid
which man will leave no means untried.
That a frivolous woman can be at
tractive to a certain class of men is,
alas, only too true. She can have
bright eyes, just as the most vicious,
heartlesS, unprlncipled creature can be
the poSSeSsor of a perfect nose, a dim
pied chin or the most beautiful COM
plexion.
But frivolous women, attractive or
| otherwise, are in the end bane to the
persons with whom they associate, for
they abhor the truths of life, make self
ishness religion, cherish lies and Gull
tivate all the artifcialties of life. They
make cult of pleasure and of war an
opportunity for picnics. Doubtless we
are every one of us acquainted with one
or more of these frivolous women. They
| always assume a CHEEKY manner in
company and under all circumstances
that are public; they would prefer to
gossip rather than hear a really intel
! lectual person discuss a useful topic;
they would rather admire their own re-
| Election in a hand mirror than view the
wonderful sights from the citadel OF
| Cairo or the panorama which is visible
| from the hills above Palermo. 1t is not
to be wondered at that such persons
will whisper during the services in tenn
pies of worship nor that they should
chatter beside an open grave or discuss
bonnets while person is dying in ar

sash ends and dainty undersleeves are
the other notable features of diaph-

muslin drawn into band at the wrist
is freakish fancy which creates a
most favorable impression. When worn

The ruffie, to give the boa its latest
name, plays most important part
among the little touches that go to per-

but more deliberately designed. 1t is

but falls away, resting on the Shout

lace cover, embroidered with black silk
and intermingled with chiffon motifs.
1t is just the accompaniment needed for
a dainty fete gown and is finished off at
the edge with soft bouillonne ruche
of white chiffon. 1t is unlined, for q
lining in this case is quite unnecessary.
They are, however literally introduced
into other kinds. The newest are what
are called spaced Innings. These are
composed of drawn chiffon arranged in
horizontal stripes, white and the color
of the cover outside. Other Innings are
composed of fan plaitings of lace and
chiffon.
Lace is much in evidence in the lin
ings, the round circle at the top often
being entirely composed of lace. while
there are more insertions of the same
toward the edge, the intervening por,
ton being of drawn chiffon. This looks
well in white chiffon and black lace
or black chiffon with white lace or
butter lace and a color.
The more fussy parasols are very
charming. One composed entirely of
pink chiffon trimmed with frills is
edged with black lace and silk fringe.
