AUGUSTA. Ga. Oct. I6.-The po-
lice last night raided every gambling
room in Augusta. taking the propr,,
tors and players to headquarters. and
stripping the rooms of the parapher-
MALTA. AT one place material valued
at $1,000 was secured.
One of the places raided has been
operated continuously for thirty
years, this being the first time the
authorities have ever raided it.
Tonight Dr. S. R. Belk, pastor OF
the largest Methodist church in the
city, publicly commended the action
of the chief of police, and said he
was glad to see that there was one
man who had the courage to put
down lawlessness.

Ubeater Gowns.

So attractive are the theater costumes
this winter that in selecting a model

substantial silks are In vogue. for this
gown must of necessity be distinct from
reception frocks. which this season are
fashioned on so elaborate a plan.
American women have not yet imi-
ta:ed their English sisters in wearing
decoilette gowns at the theater, but the
collarless yoke is popular and sleeves
are but little longer than those OF the
bail dress. Fer evening wear transpar-
erit lace yoles are seen in the majority
of light gowns. If great economy must
be practiSed this yoke may be detached
like a guimpe 10 n piece of mousseline
de sole. and the dress Itself. finished
about tho neck. can be worn as well
for dinner gown. 1t is more salts

gYimpe than TO fasten it in when de-
sired. or even TO fasten it to the dress

The waist of any light gown must

particularly in u theater gown the skirt

This is not saying that trimmed skirts
are not fashionable. fe- never were
ruchings more in vogue. but that as the
skirt is not so conspicuous. It should be
psettily. but not necessarily expensively
trimmed IL there iss a desire 10 econo-

both gold ana silver are good. the gold
