WOMAN sUPERINTENDs MINE.
Mrs, Morgan Takes Up Abandoned Prop
erty and Makes 1t Pay.

From the Joplin Globe.
Mrs, W. E. Morgan, wife OF q Couneilman
Of Joplin, d reco ognized as the only woman
mine superintendent in the district and she
h. n superintendent in every sense Of the
word.
The Sunbonnet Boss is the way her en-
nloyees refer to her, and it is with sense Of
pride that the men employed at her mine
tail a visitor that their superintendent is
woman. and it 10 with no intent Of discourtesy
that they use the pseudonym Sunbonnet Boss.
Mrs. Morgan few weeks ago organized
the Togo Mining Company and began work
ING in an old abandoned mine on the Rob
Rnv Lease. two and one half miles southeast
Of Joplin. The mine was originally known
"A the Dugan Digg,ns. Mining was carried
nm at q depth Of eighty feet, and after few
suocessf,,l months operations at the Dugan
Diopins was declared on. The property was
abandoned.
II WAS not only abandoned. but 1t was
condemned. Most any miner who knew
the ground would volunteer the Information
that there was nothing there. 1t was "pook-
.tv" according to their explanation. The
ons big pocket OF ore had been worked out
and nothing remained.

tha nermanent success which has attended

~ the fact that her executive ability 10 excel

was a scarcely visible waistcoat Of black

The deep tucks or nuns plaits are still
used upon skirt bottoms, but, save on the
walking skirts. tuck trimming seems prone
to take irregular lines suggestive Of tunio
effects. Two tucks pointing down at front
and. back and running up sharply at the
sides appear upon goodly number Of the
long skirt frocks, and the pointed line in
tho back often runs much longer than
that Of the front, aocentuating the increas-
ing importance Of q slight train as opposed
to the strictly round skirt Of last season.
In q majority Of cases these tucks, or
at least the lowest tuck, disguise the line

simplicity in all skirts, and not only tailored
skirts, but even the skirts Of handsome
visiting, dianer and evening gowns are
frequently made unbroken In line and
other with no applied trimming or with
some fat trimming.
The cloth costume with plated skirt
stitched In many waving lines which figures
among the cuts illustrates the genearal char
oter of the autumn skirt. and the bodice,
too, with its snug though draped lines,

Stitched bands and scroll or geometrical

and arc smarter than braidng, although
both silk fiber and sO,tache braids are
among the possibilities, and there are fancy
brads frightened with metallic threads
which are used effectively In some instances.

The new silks are lovely in texture and

strikingly new, save in certain MORE de-
siens and rich brocades. The cameo silks,
soft. hlstrous and changing with every
fold into new shades and colorings, are only
beautiful and complicated developments
of the shot silk ideas and were shown In
the spring, though they have now taken
on new beauty OF color.
Moire velour, which looks like o shot
poplin With moire surface; Is featured
quite extensively and in good colorings.
Some beautiful striped silks ia ono tone or
two tone colorings arc among the novelties
and in their moro striking phases will
probably be used chiefly for the Louis coats
and oorsages.
Plaid silks arc legion but are not selling

Tho coats display a most surprising
variety, as ~e have said before, and some
Of tho best results arc obtained with basque
and bolt or girdle. Charming models from
French houses ring variations upon the
idea Of yoke and coat front cut in one. or
at least plainly fitted, while the sides below
tho yoke are plated and held in at the waist

or passing underneath the straight front.
These are youthful looking coats. as are the
little Empire suit coats held In by bolt or

strairht from there to just below the hips.
