sape, and when the dog arrived it
turned out to be a country cur. There
were also parties in northern Ohio

anF. got their money, but he did not
ship any dogs. He claims that he is
not guilty OF the offense.
Bryant was taken TO logan and

WOMAN To WEAR "PEEKA.
BOOS." SAYS BISHOP.

Bishop lgnatius r. Horstmann OF
Cleveland is i'm perfect accord with
Archbishop Sebastian G. Messmer of
Milwaukee i'm the latter's vigorous
denunciation OF low necked gowns
and the transparent and open work
waists. known as the ''peekaboo" va
riety. that are worn by many women
during the summer months. Bishop
Horstmann declares that all such
garments are immodest and should
not be worn by any woman or girl
who has the least self-respeet.
Archbishop Messmer is not the
only Catholic prelate who has con
demned low neeked gowns and open
work waists" said Bishop Horst
mann last evening. Il think nearly
every Catholic priest in the country
has denounced them from the pulpit
and has cautioned the female mem
bers of their congregation against
wearing such clothing.
The women who do wear such
garments are led To do so by their in
ordinate vanity and their great de-
sire 10 dress IN the latest style. And
who is II that makes the styles? The
frivolous women OF Paris; they are
the ones who set the fashion I'm fe-
male apparel for England and Amer
ica. AS soon as one OF these French
women appear in new tangled gar
ment II is copied by the leading wo-
mems tailors in Paris. then In London
and Immediately afterward in New
York. Then all the women I'm the
United States who want TO be In stlye
vie with each other in having their
garments made after that model.
These dresses are worn to attract
the attention and admiration OF men.
This feminine vanity is responsible
for the downfall OF many women"

MONEY WITHOUT
INTEREST

Several Hebrew women living I'm
Jersey City across the North river
from New York, have banded togeth-
er and formed a banking institution
TO lend money TO poor people with
out interest. Those COMPOSING the
new institution have been doing this
work for the Tpast four years. and
during that period have lent $500
without interest Their capital AT
present does not exceed 800. The
society has eighty members who pay
monthly dues OF twenty-five cents
each The money is only loaned on
the indOrsed note or a responsible
business man, but It may he paid
back IN small amounts. This expe-
riment Is now being watched with
some interest in New York. The
nearest approach we have to IT is the
Provident Loan Association. where
business Is done like that OF a pawn
broker. though the rate OF interest Is
only enough to keep the institution
self-suppOrting. The Charity Oreani-
zation Society. through some OF IT'S
wealthy members also helps out with
capital those in distress. but such
transactions are more in the nature
VI gifts than loans.
