The Little Lingerie Gartlet.

popularity. 1t is even more neces-
cary now that the season Of silk

Fashion has been most merciful to
her followers OF late years and allows
that the styles for the different sea-

gowns intended for summer are no

weight or some slight additional
warmth is desired 1t can in this manner

Transparent yokes and collars and
the fanciful elbow sleeves add greatly
to the effect of the elaborate gowns.
and in the yOkes and collars are TO
be seen exquisite bits Of lace, often
far more costly than all the other lace

to be placed high enough on the glove

they are quite pretty enough to be dis

than half an inch wide at the most and
is covered with a soft white gathered
silk so as not to hurt the arm. On the
outside the elastic is covered with a

great variety is possible this sum
mer in the so-called all-white costumes,
for there are so many shades of white
that are fashionable. The blue white,
the cream white, the oyster color and
even the palest shades of ecru are all
included in the category, while the diff
ferent materials also give the effect of
different shadings.
1t is really a question of what is the
most becoming. that settles the color
chosen, for some women look we'll in
cream white who cannot wear the blue
white, or real white, as it is often
called. 1t is not 80 smart this season
to combine the ecru lace entre-deux
with the plain white batiste as it was
two or three years ago, and although
there have been some extremely quaint
gowns turned out that are on that or
der, the preference is for the one tone
rather than the contrast. The batiste
in what is known as the natural shade
is charmingly effective whether plain

are used, but the palest of shades are
always chosen, for again ii must be
noted that the too violent contrasts in
color are not thought smart

ditions in the meat business be true
this bill Is the only guarantee
which the people will accept that
those statements shall no longer
be true. If, on the other hand,
statements made about the condi-
tons in the meat business are false,
then this law is the only guaran-
tee which the people will accept
that these statements are false,
and in any event, the law is neces-
sary.
If the packers are doing honest
business, and l do not say that
they are doing a dishonest business
then they should welcome the law
as an aid thereto. If they are doing
a dishonest business, then this law
should go on the statute books to
prevent that dishonest business.
And whether their business is
honest Or dishonest, the law should
go on the statute books for the
full protection of the people.

SUING FOR
HIS FEES

The suit of Samuel r. Stern to
collect $1,000 for attorneys fees
from the notorious r. T. Daniel is
on trial today before Judge Poin-
dexter. Attorney Stern represented
Daniel in a number of suits, the
most famous Of which was the libel
action of Mrs. Louise Wright.
Mrs. Wright secured a judgment
for $500 against Daniel. Judge
Richardson cut this down to $500
and the supreme court reversed the
verdict.
Daniel is in the city today for
the first time in nearly two years.
Since his departure from Spokane
he has married a prominent society
girl in Washington, d. c. He IS

INSURANCE AGENTS
WOULD TRANSFER RISKS

"Fnlly 20 per cent and perhaps
rs per cent of the companies that
did business on the Pacific coast
will be wiped out when they have
settled the San Francisco losses"
said a prominent insurance agent
today. "The loss amounts to fully
5000, 100000. l expect to see a good
deal of litigation before 1t is paid.
"Of course some of the big COM
panies will pay promptly, but many
of the small companies cannot"
Nearly all of the companies are
carrying nothing but net risks be-
cause they are not reinsuring on
account of the uncertain conditions
of other companies.
There Is well defined impress
sion that insurance rates will be
raised all over the state soon.

The busiest men in Spokane to-
day are the insurance agents. The
panic created in insurance circles
by the San Francisco disaster has
not subsidized. Many companies
have notified their Spokane agents
not to write any more business,
about 25 per cent. of the companies
doing business in Spokane are ex-
pected to be wiped out and none
of the companies are carrying more
than net risks.
Insurance agents who expect
some of their companies to go out
of business are hustling to transfer
their clients to other companies Of
which they are agents. Spokane
property holders are sitting by and
wondering where they are at.

CRAFTY F0RCER
CAUGHT

T. E. Alexander, a desperate
character who was recently re-
leased from the state penitentiary
after serving a sentence for for
gerry, was arrested yesterday by
Patrolmen Sanburn and Burns on
complaint Of Mrs. A. E. Crews.
keeper Of lodging house at 0423h
Monroe street, for passing a worth
less check for $35 on her.
In police court this morning he
waived a preliminary examination
and was bound over to the superior
court and his bonds fixed at $500.
Later investigation on the part Of
the police revealed the fact that
had attempted to pass a
forged check on the landlady of the
Montvale house and another on q
landlord of Main avenue lodging
house, but the two latter persons
became suspicious. The checks
were perported to have been signed
by the Washington Lumber COM
pany and the King Lumber COM
pany and drawn In favor of ]. L.
Andrews. They were Endorsed by
J. L. Andrews and T. E. Alexander.
The forger succeeded in passing
the worthless paper on Mrs. Crews
by saying that he wanted to rent
a room in advance for a month for
himself and wife. She made the
arrangements with him and gave
him $20.5O in change and accepted
the check for $35.
