The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-11-18

One Of the Indispensable little luxu-
ries every woman should have is a bed
Jacket, and these, while not as festive
in appearance as the matinee, are very
prettily trimmed with lace or ribbon,
and as the object is added warmth
the materials used are on the order of
albatross or French or Scotch flannel.
Dainty colors are chosen, preferably
pink, for that is color becoming to
both fair and sallow wearers and is
most softening to the pallor which ILL
ness produces.
The plated sacque illustrated is of
true apple blossom pink albatross
yelling and is accordion plated from
a shallow square yoke band of pink
liberty satin under Venise net lace
insertion, with friIl of the same lace
finishing against neck. The border of
the plating has row of the satin rib
bon with Vandyke points of the net
Venise inserted above. The armholes
are bound with lace covered ribbon and
the deep cape takes the place of sleeves

This finishes at top under a lace and
ribbon band which continues as straps
at front, the ribbon tying in bow as it
energies from the lace casing. Insertion
and full ruff1e of net top Venise bor-
der the insertion continuing around
top.
Such wrap can be slipped on at a
moments notice, and to the invalid
will prove a great boon, as there is no
fussing with sleeves to be pulled on.
The second sacque is a warmer af-
fair, and is made of pale blue Viyella
flannel. This also has shoulder cape
falling from under band of China
taffeta ribbon with dainty Dresden
design, which borders the neck below
a frill of ecru lace. Eyelet Sits are
worked in the Dresden ribbon, and
through them pale blue liberty satin
ribbon is run, tying in a bow at front.
The Dresden ribbon cape and sacque
attached by blue silk cross stitching,
and groups of white silk French knots
are embroidered above on cape and
flowing sleeves.

the age OF IA years and months.
This was the channel of escape on
which the defense relied. Sinai Perry
the 15-year-old wife, who signed the
information against the accused, took
the stand to help him. She testified
that she was compelled to marry him
when she was under Ia years of age to
keep him from going to the penitentiary
and to avoid the reform school herself
But she said she lived with him but
ten days and then abandoned him.
The defense claimed that under the
Iowa law this annulled the marriage.
and that she not being his wife, she
could not under the Iowa law. prose-
cute him.
In his instructions to the jury Judge
Given pointed out that If the jury felt
there had been sufficient evidence to
show that she had disavowed her hus-
band before she reached that age that
she could not prosecute. But he held
that if she signed the information be-
fore such disavowal, that act could not
be considered as a bar to the prosecu-
ton of the accused.
1t was the first time the point had
ever been raised in the local court and
aroused considerable interest. The
case was conducted by Assistant
County Attorney r. O. Bremen.
