Lexington. Ky, Dec. 11.--William
Muir. who recently was elected delin-
quent tax assessor for the city, won
a peculiar suit in Magistrate Groves
court yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Muir
had bet j. II. Gilbert and DR.. Terry

the work in September and finished in
November. As it was proven he was
not drunk during the time. Mr.. Harp
turned over the stakes to Gilbert and

that the whole transaction was a joke
and sued Mr.. Harp for his deposit of
$50. His claim was sustained by the
magistrate, and Stakeholder Harp
was ordered to return the money. II
is understood that the winners will
pay the amount back to the stake
holder.

ALTERATION OF DRESSES.
A Recent Innovation in the Ready-to
Wear Clothes Department.

"Tll put you next to a new wrinkle in la
dies dresses" said the salesman in the
ready made ladies' clothing department of
one of the capitals big stores" and 1t is
something entirely new in the alteration
line.
las every woman knows, the alteration of
the lower hem of the skirt. especially of fine
goods like silk is a matter Of moment to
the fair sex because of the varying heights
of the prospective wearers. In frightening
the skirt to fit the hem must be ripped to
make the necessary increased length, leav-
ing a row of Derforations caused by the ma
chine stitching around the garment This
shows more or less according to the goods,
and many purchases are not made for this
reason.
THE new scheme is so simple that we
wonder that 1t was not thought of before.
When the garment Is turned out of the
work rooms. instead of the lower skirt hem
being sewed down by machine, as hereto
fore, 1t Is merely turned up and held In
place by hastings. When the skirt Is being
fitted to a tall woman the hastings are
merely pulled out. and 1t can be lowered the
desired length without any damage to the
garment. even SO much as a crease In the
goods. The time saved in ripping the lower
hem, to say nothing of the mutilation fea-
ture. will be readily understood by the
ladies as 1t Is by the firms who formerly had
to pay their alteration force for this pur-
pose.
And some of the larger stores have
started another innovation In the alteration
line, and that Is Of requiring the customers
to pay extra for 1t. From tine immemorial
the house has borne this expense, and no
charge has been made for alterations of
ready-made goods And the funny part of
1t Is that the higher the price the less Is the
charge for alteration; In the very high-priced
dresses no charge. at all is made. That's
because the profit Is sufficient In this high
class trade that the house can afford to
make the changes without extra charge.
But in the mAdium-g grade goods the
tition is so strong and the profit Is so small
that this class of goods Is now charged with
alteration fees, usually about IS suit, This
won't be very welcome Information to the
ladies who buy in this grade. but 1t goes
from now on. and the practice will become
universal
