There are many who would not at
tempt to make n frock or even
blouse but who always make their
own lingerie. For the real dainty and
fine garments such eXorbitant prices
are usually asked that. unless one has
plenty of money. they must content
themselves with inexpensive things or
make them ones self. A corset-cover
can easily be cut from ones shirt
waist pattern. The one in the illustra
ton is cut just to the waist, wide
beading put on for Il waistband, and
circular tail put on it. The inserting
is braided on in diamond shapes. The
petticoat rufle is extremely pretty and
launders very well. The shapes are
all cut out first and bound all around
with inserting. These are whipped to-
gether; the edge by so doing makes
points. A rather wide lace Is then
sewed all around them. The rutl1e is
sewed on with row of the inserting.
The sleeves In the nightgown are very
pretty, having the seam entirely open
and not drawn in to any band at the
elbow. The edges have a rutfle of lace
all around The little shaped yoke has
three Swiss embroidery motifs appli
qued on it and design in briar-stitch-
ing. 1t is edged around the top with
little rutfie of lace.

STANDING FOR LESSENED TRIMMING

tai trimmings We're early steps. BY such
processes is the new style becoming suit
cd to the women who reveled in tight
skirts, and who, unless such concessions
had been forthcoming. surely would have
arisen in their might and established
some radically different style. A result
of these processes of compromise is that
the full skirt has come to stay. SO in
your trips about the shops you. who are
plump or short, don't try to get on alto

modification that is becoming Such are

thought that few of these are suited to

SUICIDE OF JEAN SKYLES.
Thus Terminating a Short But Sen

charged by Authorities.

Clarion Ledger: Rev. Jean Skyles
alias Mason Lane, the preacher big
amiEt, who has been under the fierce
lime light of public observation in
Mississippi for the past year, and
who was recently brought to Jackson
and incarcerated in the Mississippi
Insane Hospital, committed suicide
in sensational manner at the insti-
tuition just about dark Saturday even-
ing.
A number of the patients who are
inflicted with the harmless and nom
violent species of insanity were al
lowed to go out for a walk about the
grounds, and shortly before dusk were
being rounded up by the guards to be
taken back to their respective wards.
Skyles was among the number. and
as they were passing the laundry
building he asked permission to 60
inside, stating that he would re-
turn in o moment or SO. Mr.. Lam
caster, the guard, readily granted the
permission, but instead of going into
rhe laundry Skyles darted around the
building and disappeared. A few

A SNAKE AND FISH STORY

In one of the churches Sunday the
following incident was related which
appealed to a mothers heart and she
made the application.
On certain occasion some men
went fishing. They came upon a
large black snake hanging, its head
in the water, it's tail wrapped
around the limb of tree. The men
watched the snake, thinking it meant
no harm. A little chipmunk came
from it's hiding place to quench its
thirst. Instantly the snake had him,
dropped to the ground, and. as snakes
do, tried to swallow it's prey alive.
But the little ohipmunks, darting
out from thsir hiding places, one
by one pecked the snake on the
back, until he threw his prize away
and crawled to the water to ease his
smarting, bleeding back.
Application-We have in the
shades of Hattiesburg big black
snakes in the blind tigers or hell
holes. While the preacher was
preaching this comparison made my
heart sad my boy'' is chipmunk
in the mouth of the big black snake
and if the 'good men" of the town
would but stop holding out as the
little chipmuunks did and peck the
black snake till he bleedi, heidi lee

the happy result to many poor

God pity the mother who all day
long
Must wait and weep for her absent son,
Who is lost to all but the drunkard' s
den,
A curse TO himself, shame to men.

Awaiting her boy till the break Of

And day after day till the hair grow!

Carthaginian: The Sheriff of New
York City has sold under execution
the store conducted for several years
by Miss Bessie Stewart. The inter-
est in this item lies in the fact that
the lady in question is a daughter
of Senator Stewart, the millionaire
United States Senator from Nevada,
and is therefore probably grand
daughter of the late Henry S. Foote,
who was so long and prominently
identified with the ante bellum his
tory Of Mississippi. Miss Stewart
was at one time married to Lieuten-

riage was not a congenial one, and a

THE PITTS STUDIO.
The True Art Gallery of the City
Established Over Six Years
Ago.

One of the institutions which has
been an important factor in Hatties-
hnrg business for over six years, and
which has contributed largely to the
city's reputation for being trade
center where the very best of every
thing could be obtained, is the Pitts
Studio. Its reputation for turning
out the very highest grade OF work
possible to the Photographic art is
such that to speak of it to the people
Of Hattiesburg who have for che past
half dozen years been patronizing the
studio would be entirely useless.
But for the benefit of those who are
not. acquainted through experience
with these facts and that the state has
studio which does better or finer
work this will find application.

therefore always received home

minutes later a search was Instituted
for him. His hat and coat were found
on the bank of a large pond used
for watering stock, and they gave
silent evidence of the manner in
which the celebrated patient had
disappeared. The pond was dragged
and the body of Skyles brought to the
surface.
Mr.. Lancaster, the guard, was
promptly discharged by the hospital
authorities, and strenuous effort was
made to prevent the affair from be-
coming public, the authorities refus-
ing to give out any information. The
story leaked out, however, and be-
came generally known in town before
midnight.
The career of the unfortunate sui
eide is too we'll known to need re-
hearsal after death. Young, hand
some, talented, eloquent, persuasive,
he had before him bright career
but excessive fondness for women
amounting to monomania caused
him to take unto himself SIX wives in
different parts of the country, the last
being Miss Teresa MILESTONE, of Clai-
borne county, and soon he became en-
tangled with the law, being saved
from penal servitude only by the ver-
dict of a jury of lunatico de inquir-
endo which declared him to be in
sane. His body was buried in the

FLOGGED A WOMAN
Because She was Too Intimate
With the Wife of the Man
Doing the Flogging.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, July 21.-Details have
just reached here of the manner in
which the sex was revealed of Miss
Willie Ray, the young woman who
masqueraded in the community of
Bonneville for eight years as man
without being suspected, even by the
most intimate neighbors, and very
breezy little sensation is attached to
the story.
A young farmer named Gatlin was
arrested and placed on trial for COM
mitting an assault and battery on
Willie Ray, and in defense he c'aim-
ed that the whipping was admin
istered because Ray was too intimate
with his wife. The supposed
Lothario, with blackened eyes and
skinned head, was then paced on the
stand, and created profound sur
nrise by declaring that she was a
woman, and not man, as had been
believed in the community Tor eight
years or more. She was star wit
ness in her own behalf, and Gatlin
was bound over to the circuit court
under bond of $3.50, which he was
unable to give, and was sent to Jail.
Willie Ray still walks about the
streets of Bonneville wearing hsr
trousers. The authorities attempted
to force her to don female attire, but
on investigation found that there is
no state law forbidding woman from
masquerading in male attire, or vice
versa, and Willie will stick to her
pants, despite the act that they
caused her to get good flogging.

PURITAN REIGN
LONDON. SOCIETY Is STARTLED
BECAUSE WALES CENSORS A
LIST OF GUESTS.

LONDON, December 14-Court and
society circles are startled by the fact
that the Prince and Princess of Wales
are assuming the proposition of moral
censors i'm connection with the ice car
nival shortly to be given for the bene-
fit of the Union Jack Club. This is sup
posed to indicate that the reign of
King Edwards immediate successor
will be markedly puritanical.
Private soldiers and seamen exposed
to the temptation of London will be
furnished with comfortable quarters
in the new club. The promoters have
raised S150,000 and want $780, 000 more.
They are organizing an ice carnival,
bazaar and banquet where the rich and
brilliant can assemble, enjoy the fes-
tivities and spend money. When the
Prince and Princess of Wales were in
vited they asked to be supplied with
list of the proposed guests, which
they returned minus the names of
many persons moving in the highest
circles. Inquiry disclosed that the ex-
illusions had been made on moral
grounds. Royalty has often exercised
similar censorship IN the past, but
not invariably for the sake of giving a
public function moral tone.

BOXING AT ORPHEUM.
Everything Ready For Tournament
Tomorrow Night.

Everything is now in readiness for
the big boxing tournament at the Or
pheum tomorrow, Christmas evening.
All the men who have been announced
to take part have signed and, what is
more to the purpose, have obtained the
necessary leave from their ships. AS
they have been on their very best be-
havior all the week, consequent on
their training, they have had nq> diff
Guilty in getting away.
While the contests between Huihui
and Jack Ward and Barry VS.. Patton
are thought to be of primary impor-
tance, it is said that the matches be-
tween the New Orleans and Kentucky
champions will be so evenly matched as
to share the principal honors. The local
bouts too are likely to be of the vigor-
Gus order. Indeed the whole program
is considerably above the average.
From present conditions at the box
office the crowd promises to beat the
record With the additional stage seats
the Orpheum can hold a good many
over the thousand, though it is safe to
say there will be no spare room, eX-
cept in the ring itself. The prices have
suited the sailors and there will be few
who can get off who will not try and
get inside the theater There will be
many officers present.

FLEET WAITING
SAILING ORDERS
ADMIRAL EVANS HAS NOTIFIED
NAVY DEPARTMENT FLEET IS
READY FOR SEA.

Orders for the departure of the fleet
may arrive today. Admiral Evans the
commander in chief has cabled to the
Navy Department that his fleet is
ready for sea. Definite orders setting
the sailing date from Honolulu are
likely to be received any time.
Admiral Evans has decided to main
tain his fleet in its entirity on the trip
from Honolulu to CaVite. 1t will be a
fieet-in-being from the moment that it
leaves Honolulu until it's arrival at it's
destination al Cavite. The vessels VIII
depart together and remain so through
out the voyage unless the present plans
be changed.
Coaling of the fleet is now ended
except putting on the final amount to
make up the deficit caused by the fleet
burning coal during it's stay in port
and also to supply some of the vessels
with deck loads of coal There were
| $4,000 tons of coal at the Naval Station
when the fleet arrived. All ready 5000
tons have been taken from this supply.
Included in this item is 600 tons which
are being loaded on the Naval trans
port Solace. About 1000 tons addi-
tional will be put aboard the vessels
just before they sail.
! Captain Niblack the captain of the
yard has done splendid work in coal
| ing the fleet and he has been highly
complimented for the way he was able
! to get the coal to the vessels, especial
| ly in view of being handicapped by lack
of facilities and lack of a larger num-
| Der of coal carts.
| Admiral Evans accompanied by his
aide Lieutenant Chaplin, paid an official
call on Unitew States Judge Dole this
morning.
The Collier Pompey sailed shortly
after noon today for Midway, Guam
and Manila. The Collier Nanshan is
scheduled to depart at p. m. today
for Guam and Manila.
1t was rumored about the city that
the fleet had been ordered to sail De-
cember 30. 1t was stated at the flag
ship Kentucky this morning that no
sailing orders had been received.
