Egil rose reluctantly. Alvin leaped up

that you should so far forget the law as to
attack another mans thrall?"
Instead of bursting into the TRADE Alvin
expected, Egil flushed and looked away.

Valbrand tossed him his knife with a

day, and the continental congress will meet
on that day in 1904.
In its very last hour, after repeated eff
forts in this congress and in three other
congresses, 1T was voted to have commit
tee of arbitration a kind of go-between
between the national board and the con-
gress. To this committee Will be referred
all disputed questions, all personal quar-
rels and all matters affecting the welfare
of the organization which the national
board finds itself unable to settle sa,dsfac-
torily, and which will be prepared by the
committee for the consideration OF one con
gress, II 1t is found impossible to setue
the vexed questions short OF this body.
The necessity for this committee OF ar
bitration was shown at the late SATURDAY
afternoon session Of the congress, when the
oft-referred-to Baird Huey case OF Penn
sylvania was pumped into the congress on
resolution to investigate. NOBODY was
looking for 1t, nobody was ready for 1t ana
nobody knew just exactly what to do Wnen
Mrs Nash of South Carolina offered the
resolution.
Miss Baird-Huey, who is the victim the
resolution looks to exonerate. introduced
such a resolution herself In the first hours
of the session last Monday. In this resolu-
ton she implored the congress to GO ner
Justice and take up her case and give her
chance to clear herself Of certain charges
which have been heretofore outlined In Inc
Star. She asked for a special committee
The congress was in a hurry, as brilliant
social function was scheduled for that par
ticular time. and was apparently afraid to
tackle the question, anyhow, so 1t tabled
the whole business.

The moment Mrs. Nash got her resolu-
ton before the congress the trouble began.
A lady from Florida begged the congress
to give Miss Baird-Huey a chance to secure
Justice. which, she said. Miss Huey had
not been able to get in her own state OF
Pennsylvania or before the national board
This brought the state regent OF Pennsyl-
vania to her feet. who said she tnougnt
Miss Baird-Huey had better let the case
rest until she saw what became OF her suit
for defamation of character now In the
Philadelphia courts. The Florida woman
came back and said the reason Miss Baird
Huey could not get justice from the state
regent of Pennsylvania was because that
state regent had said at one of the national
board meetings in the presence Of the
speaker that she was afraid to go into the
Baird Huey case, as she was pre)udlced
against her"
Back to the platform trotted the state
regent of Pennsylvania, Miss Frazier, and
In plain words that everybody could hear
said that the Florida lady, Mrs. Dennis
Eagan had told what was not true.
Mrs Eagan started down the aisle to
meet Miss Frazier and things looked stormy
for about fifty seconds. People In the gal
lery were leaning forward to catch every
word and the balcony was packed with
eager spectators. About this time Mrs.
Morgan of Georgia came to the front with
a motion to go into executive session. That
caused a pause in the proceedings and put
a
luctantly the people left the galleries.
Mrs Morgan favored permitting the
women of the press to remain, but the
congress said no. and the president general
smilingly ordered her friends the reporters
to fee" and they fled. There was stormy
old time in the executive session, 1t is said
The congress finally voted almost unani-
mously to let Miss Baird-Huey reopen her
case.
The case is one that was inherited from
the Manning administration. 1t is said that
all the trouble occurred at that time
through attempts to smother the charges
When Mrs Fairbanks became president
general she ordered that Miss Baird Huey
be permitted to examine all books, rec
ords and papers on file, and that she be
given every opportunity to clear herself
of the charges. Miss Baird Huey declared
that this was impossible Of accomplish
ment, as she knew the majority of the ma
tional board was prejudiced against her
and asked for this committee to be Sc
lected from the congress.
The committee Is appointed, and by it's
decision Miss Baird Huey and her accuser,
Mrs. Roberts. ex-state regent OF Pennsyl-
vania will have to stand. The committee
is comprised of Mrs. Halcombe Of Connec-
ticut chairman; Mrs Morgan Of Georgia,
Mrs. Coleman Of Illinois, Mrs. Fox of Mich
igan and Mrs. Murphy OF Ohio. This COM
mittee will investigate the whole matter,
and II they find that the end justified the
means will prepare the case for presenta-
ton to the thirteenth national congress.

Fresh Bits of Feminine Finery That
VIII BE I'm Vogue for the
Spring.

Orange and white is a favored combi-
nation, particularly for house gowns
and blouses.
Silver lace and embroideries have
been seen at q number Of recent fash
ionable weddings.
The pouch bodice and cross-over
coatee are TO be worn, though the
pouch is distinctly modified.
1t is predicted that black straw hats
will be worn extensively next season,
entirely superseding white, reports
the Brooklyn Eagle.
Novelties in veilings include coarse
meShed plaids in nets and clustered
chenille dots in malines.
Drawn work or Paraguay effects in
lace and the same or Madeira stitch in
embroideries are much in vogue.
Drawnwork of collars, cuffs and
stocks in hand-worked designs make
dressy accessories for street or evening
costumes.
Dropping trimmings viii prevail in
the millinery modes of the coming sea-
son, the idea being to add nothing to
the height Of the hat
There is an increasing fancy for in
PRODUCING q little color into brides
dresses, but it Is very slight, so as not
20 destroy the white effect
Glace satin straws are the novelty in
.he millinery line and the preferred
colors are deep brown, yellow, dark
and pale blue. scarlet and bluish-green.
Pastel blue cloth Is favored spring
color, and on a model shown recently
the cape collar was an important fac
tor. while another noticeable detail
was the white silk applications en-
broidered in black, which were insert
ed into the side seams of the bolero.
Skirts viii be cut little longer and
fuller this spring, and the thicker laces
viii be in great request, as will the
fancy chenille and silk ornaments for
trimming purposes.
A marked change will be noticed in
the spring and summer hats from pre-
vailing styles, the new models being
mounted on bandeaux, thus raising
them a trife above the hair.
One Of the prettiest princess gowns
seen this season was Of white mousse
line de sole. accordion plated, having a
front and back panel Of point de Venise
lace; the corsage was cut en- bolero,
and the only touch Of color was intro
duced in the yoke Of orange velvet en-
broidered in white silk and seed pearls.
