light blue. Could wear it with the blue skirt Is
material for girdle cut the bias when made Of
silk or velvets My measurements Height, s
feet inches; bust, 8s; waist &c; hips, 40. Have
hght-brown hair gray eyes, round face with plenty
Of color. Ny age is g. What colors I wearf
- Josie.
The blue serge should look well made up as you
suggest I should have sevengored skirt fitting
the hips smoothly and finished the bottom with
deep haring founce cut in sections. The length Of
your cloth is just sufficient for this model Trim
the founce with folds Of the taeta, either just top
and bottom, or, if your silk holds out, folds.
The pink is rather deep in shade to look well with
the tone Of blue in the serge We're the serge darker
or the pink lighter, then the effect would be har
monious AS it is, fear the combination would not
be happy Personally, should prefer white
wasting lingerie, depending upon the weather, or
fine cream French flannel dashed with navy blue
would also be good.
The taffeta will be admirable for little Eton,
range in three side peats each shoulder, both back
and front, suggesting triple box peat, and relieve
with Tuxedo-shaped collar Of white silk overlaid
with black silk braid passementerie. Trim all edges
with little knifepeated frlls and have full sleeves
three-quarter length, ending in cuffs matching the
collar This will be stylish suit and perfectly sat-

WHERE FORTUNES ARE TO BE

With all their splendid 'promptnes.
in generosity to distress, theAmer loan
people often seem equally prompt to
forget that all is not done that is ad.

is relieved. This trait seems to ap-
pear just now in the public attitude
toward San Francisco.
There seems general public dispo-

to take care Of herself. and that the

San Francisco is able to take care of
herself-fairly well. The American
energy of her people rises braveIy to
rebuild the waste places. Even if let
entirely alone they will manage some

but the direct advantage of the nation

of our advantage that San Francisco

somehow.
With all saivages ard all indemni.
ties obtainable San Francisco still
needs great deal of outside capital
for her rebuilding. There seems
hesitation to come forward with this
and disposition to let San Francisco
seek it out rather than to put it in her
way.
The shock caused by the novelty of
seeing for the first time great Ameri-
can city destroyed through an earth
quake doubtless causes this hestita-
ion.
Many permit themselves to wonder
wheher San Francisco will really rise
again to her former glory, and wneth-

ABE HUMMEL
MUST co To JAIL
SAYS THE COURT

Albany, n. Y, Oct. 10.-The court Of
appeals handed down a decision yester-
day that Abe Hummel is not entitled to
be out on bail, pending the determination
by the court of his application for a GER
tifcation OF reasonable doubt.
Hummel was convicted of conspiracy
and sentenced to Imprisonment for one
year in the New York county penitentiary
and to pay fine OF $500 on the day he
was sentenced an order to show cause
why certificate OF reasonable doubt
should not issue was granted.
Meanwhile a stay OF execution was di-
rected and at the same time an order
was made admitting Hummel TO 5000
ball until a decision was reached by the
court on his application for certificate
OF reasonable doubt.
District Attorney Jerome had Hummel
rearrested upon the theory that the al
lowance of bail was illegal, whereupon
habeas corpus proceedings were institu-
ted, resulting in Hummels discharge from
custody. The appellate division affirmed
this action Of the lower court, and the
court OF appeals today reversed the lat
ter court and sustained the contention OF
the district attorney.
