merry with greetings. Between 4 and 8
there is a lull in the home, and the girl
who wishes to change her gown can slip
into the decollete bodice.
The debutante's gown is built of flow
cred silk, not of the thin order, but ex-
tremely heavy; brocaded silk would per-
haps be better word, though the flowers
do not look entirely like the brocade
which one understands as such. The
groundwork is a pale gray, and growing
all over it are great pink tulips life siEe' izs
with long yellowish green stems. The
flowers are closely clustered near the hem
of the gown, but grow scarcer toward the
waist line.
TO accomplish this marvel and mako the
gown look as though it were a pattern
dress there is recourse to embroidery.
Embroidered tulips are used upon the
hem of the skirt, and between the bro
caded figures the embroidered flowers
grow thick.
A Long Train.
There is no other trimming upon the
skirt. which has a long train, round and
suffened to hang out straight from the
back or the waist, where it has it's start
The skirt shows a lining of crocus col

HOLLIS GIRL
WAS DISCHARGED
"She Is Past Reformation
Said Judge Churchman
WAS JUSTICE DEFEATED?
Court Scored Mrs. Charles Elliott
and Refused to Believe Her TeS!i-
mORV This Morning

Mrs. Charles Elliott, nee Virginia IIol-
lis, aged IA years, charged with leading
an idle and vicious life, was discharged
by Judge Churchmm in City Court this
morning
Virginia has figured conspicuously be-
fore the court during the past few days
Acting upon information furnished by
her, Charles Elliott, young man, aged
about 20 years. was arrested upon a
charge Of using her for immoral purposes.
The arrest took place on Tuesday. The
girl was held as witness. each being
placed under $500 bail. During her de-
tention at the police station she made ad-
missions 10 the chief Of police and Agent
Stout of the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty 20 Children. that her step-father
had also been criminally intimate with
her. This led TO his arrest. but at a hear
ing before the court yesterday he was
dismissed. She also said that she had
been immoral since she was seven years
Of age. This statement led TO a charge
Of leading an idle and vicious life being
brought against her. Her parents EN-
ployed Julian G. Walker as attorney. and
when the case was heard this morning
Mr.. Walker cited numerous authorities
which he believed TO bear ON the case
He contendcd that the girl made admis-
sions while under arrest that could not
be recognized by the court. He also made
the argument that in case persons maze
admissions to another offense while under
arrest or confinement, and were released
on bail. or otherwise. that they must be
allowed to go to their homes before they
could be rearrested for a second alleged
crime.
WOULD NOT BELIEVE HER
The intention of the prosecution was tC
send Virginia TO the Delaware Industrial
School as it believed that that institution
was the proper place for her. Afte
! hearing the arguments Judge ChurchmaI
/ concluded that the evidence was not SUI
| ficiont to warrant conviction and OF
dered the girls dismissal. In giving hi
decision Judge Churchman said:
"The Delaware Industrial School fo
Girls is an institution FOR the reformation
of such characters and for the benefit OF
their welfare. ] do not believe a wor,
this girl has said and ] don't think any
thing can be done for her. She is abso
