The Beginner in Dressmaking.-A
person who has had little experience
| in dressmaking should buy plain
material. or one to which there is no
'.up or down. and preferably also no
right and wrong. If you will have
pattern that fits exactly, allow large
seams when cutting, and after fitting
your waist change your pattern ac-
cOrdingly, so that in future you can
cut and sew almost without trying
on.
Decide upon the exact length you
want your sleeve and allow for the
width you wish to make your cuff.
If the sleeve is much longer or short
er than the pattern. cut the latter i'll
half and insert or cut out such Il
length at the elbow. Should the diff
ference. however, be only a slight one,
/ the pattern may be altered at the
bottom. Both sleeves should be cut
at once Oh the doubled material,
provided that is sufficiently wide, to
make certain that both are not for the
same arm. If the material is narrow.
cut one sleeve first. lay it on the ma
terial with the right side to the right
side of the material and cut out the
second sleeve.
The fronts should be made amply
long. Before cutting them run an inch
hem down one side of the material
the full length of the two fronts.
placed under each other in line; then
divide it i'm half and put pin at the
dividing line. If there are to be tuckS,
make them for both fronts at once,
equal lengths and as far each side of
the dividing line as you wish them.
Cut the material after it has been
tucked.
/ On striped or fancy material,
tucks in the back seems like are I'M
necessary waste of time. and are
likely to spoil the appearance of the
material in breaking up the pattern.
Much i'm the fit depends Oh the sewing.
Do not sew the underarm seams on
the waist more than well down to the
waist line. as it does not set well
when held i'm below the waist. y
French seam should be used on the
sleeves, but all other seams should be
plain and then overcast. The shoulder
seams will set better if turned toward
, the back and stitched twice Oh the
right side.
| 1t is far simpler to make box
plat and attach it to the right front
than to calculate for it when tucking
. the fronts.
Sew piece of tape across the
: back at the waist line on the under
1 side making the tape long enough to
+ be brought around and tied in front.
2 This leaves the front loose so it
5 is easily irOned and it will not make
l any difference if the material shrinks
after being laundried several times

S gather the fronts. sew them on a band
l and cut off whatever material comes
. below the band.
For women who do not like to pin

INDIAN NAME.
Real Name OF Minneopa Falls Was
Minnehinopa, in Sioux.

From Tuesdays Daily.
A question has arisen as to the true
way of pronouncing the name of the
new state park. Minneopa is the COM
monty accepted way, but it is far from
the way the Indians pronounced it. As
near as can be ascertained by Thomas
Hughes, the historian of this section of
the state, the Sioux called the falls Min
nehinopa, which means in their tongue
water falling twice." or "two water
falls" The Sioux word for "fall' or
falling" is ''hinhpaya," but when used
with other words uphony leads to drop
ping all but the first three lntters.
Some of the early settlers, not exact
ly catching the Indian pronunciation,
called the falls Minneineopa, and this
has since been contracted to Minneopa

Valuable Papers and Cash
We're in the Bed.
Bold Burglars Find the Hiding
Place and Escape.
Victim Said to Have a CIeW to
the Perpetrators.
Especial to The Free Press. ]

Fairfax, Nov. lS.-Sometime during
Wednesday night burglars entered the
home of Mrs. Thoratea Thorman, a
widow lady living in Hoboken, the east
ern part of Fairfax, and robbed her OF
valuable notes, and other papers, and
cash, amounting in all to over $1,000.
OF this amount only $500 was in cash,
and the paper will not be of much use
to the perpetrators.
The lady lives alone and is about
sixty years of age. She was not feel
ing well on Wednesday evening and re.
tired early, and was soon sound asleep.
As was her custom, the valuables were
placed under her pillow, but the thieves
succeeded in removing them and max
ing their escape without awakening her.
The lady stated that she could not
tell how the burglars effected an en-
trance to the house, but it is probable
that it was made by the use of a skele-
ton key.
The indications are that the theft
was committed by someone who was
familiar with Mrs. Thormans posses
sions, and also the premises, and it is
understood that the lady has what she
believes a tangible clue to work upon.
During the past several years there
have been several small burglaries in
various places about the village, but no
strenuous efforts have been made to To-
cate the guilty ones.
The lady has, of course, stopped pay
ment upon the notes and other papers.

FROM SATURDAY Ddlly.
There was a slight wreck on the

number of hours. Fast freight train

SHE MADE A RUN
Owatonna Young Lady Escaped the
Clutches of Hoid-UpM Man.

Owatonna, Nov. l6-A daring at
tempt at hold-up occurred Tuesday
about six o'clock on East Broadway at
which time Miss Irene Kuntz, daughter
of Professor Kuntz, superintendent of
the city schools, and who is employed
in the Nelson Hartvig store, was the
victim, but fortunately escaped from
her assailant. The attempt at holdup
occurred Just east of the office of Dr.
of DR.. Eustis. The young lady had
left the store and was on her way
to supper at little after six o'clock.
She hurried down East Broadway in
tending to strike Elm street and from
Amos office and reaching a point where
a large bill board stands she was startl-
ed to have man jump out from near
the side of the board and stepping close
to her command her to hold up her
hands at the same time pointing his
hand at her as though he held a revol-
yer. While the young lady was startled
she had presence of mind enough to
scream and this she did, at the same
time gathering herself together and run
ming. She reached the home of Dr.
Eustis in safety although she believes
that the hold-up followed her. Marshal
Misgen was notified and he was soon on
the scene and searched that part of the
neighborhood diligently for the man. No
trace of him, however, could be found.
Miss Kuntz was able to describe the fell
lows appearance but not accurately
enough so that a good description of
him could be obtained. Although badly
frightened the young lady bears up
well considering the scare that she has
had.

New York, Nov Ex-senator Thomas
c. Platt testified before the insurance

Platt said that the Equitable society

the contributions were in cash and sent
by a messenger to his office and he
turned them over to the state commit

Mr.. Platt said that the New York Life
and Mutual Life also contributed but
not nearly as much as the Equitable.
He said that he was not expected in re-

OWATONNA FIRE STRUCK
BLAZE THERE WIPES OUT $4,000
WORTHOF PROPERTY.
Parrot and Smith Hardware BI.Ck
Goes upin FLAMES Early on
Sunday Morning.

Owatonna, Nov. 20.-Fme started at
two o'clock yesterday morning in the
big $4,000 Parrot & Smith hardware
block, and before the fire department
could get at the powder it exploded,
and all hope was given up of saving
the three-story structure.
Parrot & Smith occupied the lower
floor. Their stock inventoried at $751;
900 and was partially covered by in
surance.
On the second floor DIR. Clayton H.
Stearns, dentist, lost valuable Ii
brary, with his dental tools, amounting
to $1,000. His insurance is $780, DIR.
Theo Hatch lost $1,000 with $1,000 in
surance, and Dr. Yerka $500, with
$500 insurance.
The third floor was occupied by
lodges, and there was practically no loss
to them.
The walls are standing, but they are
in such weak condition that precautions
will be taken for the safety of pedes
TRANS, and as soon as the fire dies out
they will be pulled down.
The origin has not been ascertained.
The fire originated in the basement in
James Lemons barber shop, where a
light connected with gasoline tank
had been left burning. There was but
little gasoline in the tank, which was
of a capacity of about five gallons, and
it is thought that the tank became ov-
erheated through the small amount of
gasoline which it held, and the fluid eX-
ploded. The shock broke the windows
of some of the adjoining buildings, and
there was enough of it left to start the
blaze in the woodwork.
