MANY EX-JUDGEs.

. :
The abolition of the County Court
system has thrown great many OF the
present judges into active politics and
not n few of them have already an
nounced themselves for one branch or
the other Of the Legislature. Others Will
stand for Commemorative Attorney. and
still others will seeke even higher offices
later on.
Judge w. 7. clopton, of Chesterfield
who, by tho way has the reputation OF
being ono OF the best county judges In
the state is coming to tho Senate from
his district to succeed Mr.. Cogbill. and
Judge Galloway Brown will likely have
n sent in the same body from the new
district composed Of Bedford and Rock
bridge. Former Judge c. j. Campbell, Of
Amherst, Is expected to run for the
House in Amherst and the name Of Judge
William G. Loving, of Nelson. has been
freely associated with political honors by
his friends.
Some one has said that judges Will be
as plentiful here next winter as arc colo
ncls In the average Kentucky Legislature,
and from present Indications there Is
something in the suggestion. But what
ever turn the campaign may taxa It is
going to be very lively one. and the
prospects for large crop of candidates
for all the places to be filled wns never
brighter this far In advance Of the actual
fighting.

that will ever be fought on the old court

Fancy blouses retain all their favor
and will be much worn during the COM
ing season. This one, designed by
May Manton, includes the new cape
effect with the fashionable shallow
yoke and princess closing and Is fitted
both to the odd waist and gown. The
original is made Of mauve crepe de
chine, trimmed with ecru lace and
bands of velvet In darker shade, but
all the thinner materials Of the sea-
son are appropriate.
The waist is made with a fitted lin
ing which closes at the centre front.
On this lining are arranged the yoke.
which closes at the left shoulder seam,
and the portions of the waist proper.
The back Is plain. drawn down In
gathers at the waist line, but the
fronts are laid in box pleats at their
edges and both they and the sleeves
are tucked at their upper portions,
the tucks providing fulness below. The
little cape. or bertha. Is circular and
falls over the arms-eye seams, so Civ
ing the broad effect of fashion. The
sleeves are snug for short distance
below the shoulders, but form full
puffs at the wrists where they are
held by straight cuffs.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is five and three
fourth yards twenty-ODe Inches wide.

one shown on the left of the large
drawing Is made of lOulslne silk in
shades of blue and Is piped with vel
vet and trimmed with ornamental but
tons, but the design Is equally well
suited to all the silk and wool waist
ings and to the cotton vestings which
are so popular. When the latter are
used the lining can be omitted and the
edges simply stitched or a trimming
of braid substituted for the piping or
velvet.
The waist consists of the fitted lin
ing which closes at the centre front,
the fronts, the back and the plastron.
The back is tucked from the shoul-
ders TO the waist line to give taper
ing effect to the figure. but the fronts
from the shoulder to yoke depth only
and are gathered at the waist line
The plastron is cut on a curved out
line and attached to the right SIDE
hooked or buttoned over on the left.
The sleeves are the fashionable ones
NJ the season that are large below
the elbows and small above and are
finished with straight cuffs. AT the
neck is a novel stock with tie.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four and three
eighth yards twenty one inches wide
four and one-fourth yards twenty-sev-
en- inches wide. or two and three
eighth yards forty-four inches wide.
All broad shoulder effects are In
vogue. The other very stylish blouse
shown in the large drawing Is trimmed
and tucked to give continuous lines In
waist and sleeves and Is eminently
graceful and smart. The model Is
made of cerise crepe de chine and is
trimmed with heavy net with ap-
pllQues of silk cherries and ruche OF
chiffon, but all materials sufficiently
pliable for fine tucks are suitable and
the trimming can be lace or applique
of any sort. rhe sleeves are wide and
