It was as tousled as if 1t had not had comb in 1t for three days At the throat, whore the masnlh- cent fur garment was slightly open, thcTe was a glimpse of dishabille not pleasant to look at. Her hands were bare and covered with dazzling rings worth for tune. But. heaven forgive us. the nails were black. The lady looked as if ska had jumped out of bed. jumped into her shoes and put on her gorgeous cloak and hat over her morning negligee and rushed off to church. No doubt this was the case.
 The lady was the magnificent Russian prima donna of the matinee the day be- fore. The very paint had not yet been all washed of her face.

HOW to Dress.

Twentieth Century Home.
 During the last ten years there hes been rapid growth of good judgment In relation to dress. It will be noted that certain styles which conform to the more graceful lines of the figure maintain sort of vogue: that designers. intent upon creating a complete change looking to the more rapid displacement of fashion. are less successful. If temporarily dis possessed, that which Is useful and grace fuI soon returns. One season there is cry that there will be no more shirt waists; the next, that the eiinging skirt. failing in graceful folds. Is to De dis- placed by fiounees, or hoops, or what not.
 But 1t will be observed that every effort .of this kind is followed by reaction in favor of that which conforms to what is best in art The day of the absurd hoopaklrt is gone forever. The day of

his last breath. The women surgeons wen such distinction for themselves in this war that there was a clamor f5r their full recognition. The Russian government was obliged to grant them regular medical degrees.
 The result was that more young wO- men than ever crowded the Russian medical schools. There was and is vast field for women practitioners among the poor and ignorant millions of the Russian peasantry. Women Tn Russia seemed on the highroad to emaa- cipation. Once more the hierarchy didn't like 1t. Some spy reported that certain girl students werc mixed up Tn political agitation. No woman in al Russia had a vote or any citizens rights whatsoever. If all the girl stu dents in the medical schools had bccn conspiFing against the czar, 1t Is hard to see what they could have done. But the report furnished pretext for tie lnquisition of tho Russian government to act against tbem. Clap went shut tke doors of the medical schools on the woe men. No more women could study to be doctors in Russia.
 But the women were not to be dowlled In hosts and thrOngs they migrated to the universities of Switzerland and Of Paris. Some even braved the snows of inland, where the small local govern ment IS more liberal to women than the great Russian hierarchy is. Not only to tbe medical schools of other lands Weist the splendid women subjects of the czar lor the learning he would not let them ] have at home. but all Europe was sprIn- kled with brave Russian women students wherever a university was open to ti:e lapless female sex.

MAYOR YEISER AND
ATTORNEY BERRY
Came Near Mixing in Circuit
Court Today.
The Mayor Took Exceptions to State
ment in Speech to the
Jury.
STARTED FOR HIM

Mayor d. A. Yeiser and Attorney
W. A. Berry would probably have
come to blows this morning in circuit
court had not friends intervened and
kept them apart.
The case of +. W. Mckee, the
lumberman, against the Palmer
Transfer Company and the city OF Pa
ducah for s5, 900 damages for injuries
received by . hack rolling down one
OF the city's fills, was on trial, and
Attorney Berry, for the plaintiff, was
making an argument before the Jury.
In the course of his remarks he
asserted that the city of Paducah was
guilty of negligence, and that with
in four hours after the accident
the mayor Of the city sent the
street inspector to the scene and had
a post that broke and allowed the
fence to give way when the carriage
struck il, taken to the city hall and
locked up in vault. The inference
was that the city thus sought to re-
move the evidence Of its negligence.
Mayor. Yeiser was sitting near and
stated that the words were untrue and
the attorney knew them to be untrue.
/: Attorney Berry, according to wit
nesses, turned and asked the mayor
not to interrupt him in his speech.
and repeated his former assertions
about the post. Mayor Yeiser said
something else, and Mr.. Berry started
towards him with trouble in his eye.
1t is said the attorney was preparing
to use q chair.
Mayor Yeiser hastily arose as IL to
meet the attorney, but Special Judge
John X. Hendricks raped for order,
and friends rushed forward and kept
down trouble.
There was considerable excitement
among the attorneys and spectators,
as it was the most sensational scene
witnessed in the court room in some
time, but order was soon restored by
Deputy Sheriff Lydor and Mayor
Yeiser was fined $40 for contempt Of
court, presumably for ipterruptinl
the attorney in his address, and bring
ing on the trouble.

and voted for Colonel for the Third
Kentucky Regiment.
The local company voted unani-

although he is not candidate, If he
receives enough votes 10 give him the
Office, it IL thought he can be pressed
to accept.
It is understood Captain Davis

that the action of the local militiamon
was not simply complimentary but
meant for business.
This was all done BY the Guards last
night. and after the balloting had
been finished the boys lsft the armory.

The pilot, Capt. Brazelton, ascribed
