cA Cheap Dress

really do not believe the dress cost
more than $3.50. for the goods were only
lG cents a yard and there was not much
goods In the dress, because It was made
for a little girl The material was a
brown-checked lawn, something which
did not look unlike a thin cotton wolfe
The checks were about one and one-half
inches square, every other square being
thickly dotted with little brown dots.
The dress was made with full waist
ruffied bertha, short sleeves and a skirt
gathered to the waist and a deep hem
II was decorated with very narrow
brown velvet ribbon in the waist trim
mings and three rows of velvet above
the hem. The dress was for q little
girl with auburn hair and this subdued
color suited her admirably. for Helen OF
Troy tresses must steer very clear Of
some colors, and adopt autumnal shades,
which best suit her.

to Negress.
New Orleans, Sept. 16.-The amount
of State Tax Clerk Charles E. Letten's
defalcation has been fixed at $11S,-
900. The examination of his books is
not yet completed, but the experts
doing this work said they do not ex-
pect to find any larger shortages
Two desperate attempts at suicide
were made during the day by Vir-
ginia Reed, the negress to whom Let
ten says he gave the greater part of
the stolen money. Dressed in silks
she jumped into Bayou st. John, a
creek in the city, but was pulled out
by a negro boatman after she had be-
come unconscious. She was revived
by being rolled over a barrel. After
regaining consciousness she broke
away from her rescuers, threw herself
fiat in shallow pool and held her
head under the water until again
dragged out.
Letten went before a grand jury
and confessed to his defalcation. He
also issued written statement about
the Reed woman in which he said he
gave her 100000 between January,
1908, and the present month. He Of
fered no explanation for this.
