About fifty descendants of Ham,
having not the fear de cops" before
their eyes, and being seduced by
the music OF "de bones and the fas-
eination of "seben and leben," have
lately been assembled In various and
sundry places In Darktown where
they might rattle the dice for allthat
was in sight or out Of sight. Come
seben, come leben," they cried in
chorus, and while they were absorbed
and held spellbound by their enthusi
astic wooing Of the tickle goddess of
chance who presides over the crap
table the county attorney and sheriff
were laying plans to swoop down
upon the dusky gamesters with Nigh
ty vengeance.
There is an old saying that when
thieves fall out honest men get
their dues" This has no particular
application to the big haul made by
the officers, but it was due to free
for all fight among the crap shoot
ers that started the little ball roll
ing. The officers were given infor-
nation with reference to gaming
houses and gamesters that enabled
them to make a clean sweep, and as
result twenty nine dusky denizens
spent last night in the county bastile.
Some of them are there yet, but
large number of them succeeded in
making their bonds this morning and
were released. The work which was
started yesterday has been continued
TODAY and in all about fifty arrests
have been made. The complaints as
filed in the county attorneys office
enumerate such offenses as gaming,
keeping gaming tables, banking, ag-
gravated assault and keeping dis

Fashions for the Children

Mammas wear pink as they have
q long year, and the wee girls fol-
low the lead of the mammas. With
out question, with better result-for
pink Is no. always kindly when
years have piled up. 1t is very love-
ly, however, against the peaches and
cream, the fascinating smoothness, Of
child's skin; and the little maids
in pink add not little to the sum
mer beauty.
The frock may be a simple pink
lawn, a lacetrimmed China silk-the
kind Of material does not make a
great deal of difference. Get the
right shade and shade and material
that will bear tubing, and make the
frock with short sleeves and round
neck. Baby arms and baby neck are
so pretty, should not be concealed.
The little model here shown Is nice
one, the skirt frilly, the sleeves bouf-
fant, the round neck giving a pretty
babyish effect. The sash adds not a
little to the ensemble to the
small girls delight
Very few frocks for girls are now
made with long sleeves, many with
nothing but full puff at the shoul-
der; but for play dresses a longish
sleeve is desirable that the arms may
be protected so when best is put
on they be not all scratched and un-
lovely. White stockings look well
with all frocks, perhaps are somewhat
daintier than those matching the
dress, though these are very popular.
For misses wear pongee has become
great favorite, and a coored pom
gee with white null sleeves and neck
er makes most attractive and cool
little costume. A hunters green
pongee had for trimming small white
pearl buttons, repeating the white
of neck and sleeves in a pleasing
manner. Young maids follow their
mothers in wearing black with white,
and with their white linen dresses af-
feet black hair ribbons. black hose
and shoes. They also show liking
for the pretty black and white striped
wools and mohairs with pipings of
black silk.
Pretty colored linen dresses amany
are worn by girls in their teens, and
the lingerie dress is reserved for state
occasions. The one-piece dresses are
preferred, and with yoke. cuffs and
girdle of lacey insertion they are so
dainty and filmy. Fine materials
reign, and simplicity. Null is ia
