The Elton Jacket with fronts going
down below the waistline in points, Is
as much liked as ever. A narrow roll
ing collar is usually put on these, and
they button Just across the bust, each
side Of the front having crocheted orna-
ments.
The open front coats, Etons. boleros
and other forms, are by no means put
aside. The bolero Jacket Is such q
fetching little thing that femininity is
not nearly tired Of.
Since the bolero seems to have come
to stay there are belts and blouses made
to conform to its particular needs. The
prettiest of all the belts to be worn
with a bolero is a soft girdle either OF
silk or panne velvet unlined and shirred
over whalebones to hold 1t in the de-
sired width both back and front Tho
front part Of the belt Is arranged to
point down below the waistine, in tho
fashionable dip shape. The sketch

quite grown out Of the crying.for-the-
moon habit. In fact. she honestly admits
she has taken her own measure and
knows that a better thing for her is just
the everyday commonplace existence of an
ordinary mortal. She is still ambitious. and
her little measure of talent far from grow
ing less has grown greater. for genius was
never known to have been killed or con-
Quered by disappointments. though through
them its workings have been often retarded.
The girl who wrote nice verses and pretty
little stories cried for the moon. as 1t ap-
peared to her longing vision, and got 1t
only to find 1t was not all she dreamed It
would be after all.
It is Ear and away a better thing to be
Independent and individual than it is to Sc
lect some one else for a pattern and cry
and sigh because you cannot copy that one
exactly.
Dress as well as you can, but no better
than you can afford simply because 1t is
your wish to initiate your fashionable
neighbor. Gather about you as many pref
ty things N your home as you can. but
remember that true happiness is not de-
pendent upon a gilt chair with a brocaded
cushion one half so much as it is upon
the cheerfulness and good temper Of the
woman who presides over the household.
One Of the moons most often cried for is
a handsomely fitted dwelling. And. alas:
I have seen this moon attained through
Fruit.

health and count your blessings and in this

Is an increasing habit among American

habit; one that is surprisingly easy to form
and rather difficult to break, though it is
by no means an impossibility to break it.

through envy. It begins on the very day

SENATOR BAILEY
Talks of Texas Oil, Confirming the
Marvellous Tales-MOre Than 400
Companies Formed.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Senator
Bailey, of Texas, has come to Washing
ton bearing confirmation of the mar
velous tales of the oil discoveries tina.
are being made in his State He says
the excitement is increasing daily and
the territory of discovery is spreading
rapidly.
Beaumont still is the center of the
big 'gushers," but experts are showing
that the oil region extends far north
and considerable distance east Of
Beaumont More than 200 companies,
with capital ranging from $4,000 10
$4,000 had been chartered for the
Senator Bailey left Texas.
THE fact that very small proper
ton of the oil being found III Texas
is of the Illuminating quality does not
seem TO be taken into account as II
should be, said the Senator 1t is true
that if it were Illuminating oil it would
make a great many of our people for
tunes, but it's benefit to the State and
the whole southwest would not be as
widespread or permanent as it will be
since most of ii is fuel oil The lack
of coal has retarded Texas progress
when we demonstrate, as | think We
shall do soon. that Texas has a prac-
tieally inexhaustable supply of fuel Oil
an era of progress such as no other
section OF this country has ever known
will set in down there.
In raw materials, particularly cot
ton, wool and iron, Texas is unsurpass-
ed by any part of the country, and with
plenty of fuel oil, you will soon see
cotton and WOODEN factories. iron foun-
dries and machine shops springing up
all over the State While it is true
that the general interests of the trans
portation systems of the country are
opposed to the rapid growth of large
manufacturing industry in Texas, it is
also true that the Texas railroad COM
mission can deal with this question in
a way that will bring the railroads to
terms. i confidently expect the fuel
oil discoveries to do for Texas what
coal has done for Pennsylvania.

Prosecution is begun on behalf OF

and, according to her story, she was

to get the old brewer into compromis-

demanded $4,000 but got only $4,000
The conspirators have operated for

NEW YORK, May 3.-The Herald

There is pending whisky famine,
wholesale dealers say. One large dis
tillery and warehouse company in this
city has practically cornered the mar
ket. With millions of gallons in it's
cellars, combination of producers is
buying every available barrel remain
ing in the market. Since present pro-
duction is limited by an iron-bound
agreement, the prevailing scarcity may
advance prices without limit.
AS indicative of the situation, con-
versation between H. J. H. Cardeza,
president of the Standard Distilling &
Distributing Company, and Edison Brad
ley, president of the Kentucky Distil-
leries & Warehouse Company, Mr.. Car
deza accused Mr.. Bradley of having
bought up in the last month every
whisky holding in the market. This
Mr.. Bradley denied. referring to sew
eral lots of fifty barrels each. Mr.. Car
deza answered that they were merely a
drop in the bucket compared to twenty
million gallons that Mr.. Bradley is said
to control.
There will probably be much greater
production of whisky next fall. But
this will not be available until after it
has aged for three years.
