zhookhuying and usually careful choice Of
books Many of the clubs in towns without
libraries or with but limited library facilities
buy a small reference library each year with
club funds, and, after completing the work
for which these books furnish the material,
donate them to the small library or the read
ing room where these institutions exist.
The plan of a club library is one to be
highly commended and even a small club can
we'll afford to put considerable sum into
books, for no other investment of the same
amount Of money Drinks corresponding
amount of pleasure and profit. One dollar
apiece contributed by each member OF the
study clubs Of from ten to twenty-five mem
bers will buy an excellent collection of books
for study purpose on nearly any Of the more
popular club themes.
Should it seem unadvisable to attempt the
collection of a club library, there seems but
one possible way to provide material for club
study; that is to choose textbook as q basis
Of work and have at least a considerable mum
Der of members buy that and let such others
as can and will buy for their private libraries
hooks for supplementary work. This plan
however is quite as costly as a club library
if the majority buy even the textbook, for few
textbooks of any value for general study cost
less than 81 apiece.
The textbook plan however is one worthy
of recommendation even to clubs with fail
library facilities, for good condensed treat
ment of a subject, especially if the Textbooks
contains suggestions for a broader study ant
list of books for reference is a good anc
reliable nucleus for club program, especially
id the hands of unframed program maker:
and students.

The visiting gown CONNIE IL faut for the
spring season has been decided by lie monde
elegant to be the costume made of light
weight wool, the lacy etamine, the nuns
yelling and other delicate types that, silk
lined, are cool enough for summer wear ex-
cept IN the extremely hot weather. But it
Is the etamine gown that by all odds Is to be
the leading favorite for afternoon calling,
driving, etc, for it readily lends itself to
the lacy expression much to be desired
by the fashionable contingent at the present
moment. AS to the material ITSELF it is just
wiry enough to most satisfactorily shed the
dust, yet pliable is it that it clings to the
figure in the most fascinating and fashionable
way which has dictated that the curving out
lines which is half concealed is far more
beautiful and dangerously aluring than the
same form too distinctly revealed.
This same truth IS exenplihed in the many
yoke effects, sleeves and collars composed en-
tirely Of lace or tucked chiffon, through whose
filmy meshes can only be family dtscerned
the rosy-tinted skin beneath, for assuredly a
beautiful neck and arms are never half SO
lovely when partly hidden or yelled.
Fashion demands very little In the way OF
change in figure and outline this season, the
straight-front corset with higher. busted

continue on account not only of its health

USED KNIFE vICIOUSLY.
Ed Blakey Assaults Charles stoddard
I'm the Street.

Ed Blakey seriously cut Charles Stoddard,
of 1926 Winchester street, last night, mis-
taking Stoddard for a man against whom
he had a grudge. Stoddard was cut across
the back of the head just below the base
of the brain; one long cut was made on
the back of the neck at the base of the
head and one cut was on the left hand,
nearly s~evering the thumb.
Stoddard said he was riding down Shelby
street on his wheel to his home when
Blakey ran out from his gate. StOddard
saw Blakely coming, but thought he was
going across the street. He said he did
not think the man wanted him. Blakey ran
into Stoddard's wheel, throwing him Ia the
pavement. Blakey then began to slash him
with a long-bladed pocket knife
B~ystanders who saw the affair picked
StOddard up and carried him to the Of
flee of DIR. Brown, on Fountain square.
three wounds. He said StOddard was not
fatally wounded. StOddard said Blakey
made a mistake when he cut him.. He said
Blakey was after a young boy with whom
he had had some trouble Thursday night
in front of the cOlOred church on Shelby
street. StOddard said he knew Blakey, but
was never in his company TO any extent.
Blakey, who Is a rag picker, went TO the
rear of his house after the cutting. He
hitched up his horse and wagon and got
his little brother. who aids him in picking
up rags. He said he was going down to
the police station 10 give himself up. The
two drove around town until II o'clock.
when Blakey showed up at police head
quarters. He surrendered to Sergeant Crane
and Captain Hyland. He lives at 1908
Shelby street.
