OF course, hand embroidery Is NOT for
the rank and file of baby frocks, and even
the wee folk born to multimillionairedom
do not have all of their first clothes en-
broidered. Handwork is, however, essen
tial to the right effect in baby clothes, and
while the machine-made frock may be fine
and pretty, it never has just that de-
lectably babyish air which is the success
Of baby frock.
If one can do no more one can at least
put the little lace collar and cum grills on
by hand, run in few hand tucks, inset a
few lines of valenciennes insertion or finish
yoke and cuffs with lines of herrinRbone
stitch. The simplest frock possible made
with such touches is more desirable than
the most elaborate of machine trimming,
and though the little short frock may per
haps be constructed entirely by machine
and yet have a certain success, the first
frocks, however simple, absolutely must
have the suggestion Of hand work about
them, unless they are to fail lamentably
Fineness and sheerness of material is also
essential for the successful first froCk and
no lace that is not fine and dainty should
ever be introduced upon a baby's frock
Better no lace at all than a coarse quality
OF course. the ideal lace for the baby
clothes is real valenciennes in tho narrow
baby widths. AS a matter of fact IL is
often hard to find these narrow widths in

These cloaks of mun. batiste or finest
linon are most delightful affairs, so soft
and dainty and babylike with their lace
frills and insertions, their hand embroider-
les and their futtering knots and ends OF
ribbon. Often one cloak Win have several
Innings. one of white and one of pink or Of
blue, these loose Innings being easily ad-
justod, since they are attached to the lin
gerie coat only at the neck. Other models
have the lining permanently attached.
The cloak pictured here was a somewhat
ornate model with inset bowknots Of valen-
ciennes lace and embroidered wreaths on
the cape and down the fronts; but there
are many lingerie cloaks of simpler design
and slighter cost, yet Of great charm
Among the silk coats those of white
chiffon faille are exceedingly lovely, and
some of the supple satin finished silks are
also effective, White crepe de chine I'm
somewhat heavy quality is a good cloak
material for service ...
In little embroidered sacks and wrappers
and hooded cloaks made of fine soft WOOL
ems there are numerous attractive, designs
and here we find considerable use Of the
hmono lines which are so prominent
among the models for grownups.
There are hosts of dainty handmade
bibs, many Of them enriched by hand en-
broidery, but the bib sketched here has
novel feature in the softly shirred strap of
linon through which a ribbon is run for
the purpose of holding the bib down in
place. The ribbon passes under the arms
and ties at the back.
Baby caps are made by hand of lingerie
material and lace and once more we find
touches of hand embroidery omnipresent.
Close round shapes with little ears or fans
turning fatty back from the face and
trimmed in lace and embroidery are the
favorite models.

The yoke Is attached to the body OF the

land is the only way TO bring individuals to
q true understanding OF the sacredness and
Importance OF marriage" said the speaker.
There Il too much stress laid on love,
welded bliss and the honeymoon in modern
American society. The sexes are too pre-
valsntly isolated from common intercourse
and Relationship for a proper mutual un-
deratanding. II follows that when two per-
cons are married after a short acquaint-

that they win soon become siokened by the
surteit OF their pleasure and nnally discover
che weaknesses OF each other and the d.
vorce court will be sought

ably the greatest wrong inflicted by society,
BY reason OF social conditions women are
compelled 70 marry for support without

on the side OF the individuals IN entertnG

preme court recently. is the twenty-eighth
member OF the tender sex to attain that
distinction.
The hrst woman to become a member OF
the bar. says the Washington Herald, was
Belva A Lockwood, who was first denied
the privilege on the ground there was no
authority for women to practice before the
court. She thea secured the passage Of
a special law admitting women 70 the bar
on an equal footing with men, and as soon
as the bill was signed she appeared and
took the customary oath on March Q, 1873
1t was not until SIX years later that Mrs
Lockwood lost her monopoly Of rights ana

year or 30. They are scattered ali the way

GLOBE KIDS MUST
 HEED THE CURFEW
Council Passes CurfeW Law and Ordinance Restricting
 the Saloons

There was very little business to be transacted at the council meeting last night and to prevent an early adjourn ment Alderman Lyman Woods suggest ed that the council pass curfew law providing that all children under the age of 15 years should be chased off the street at S:30 p. m. Alderman Woods first desired that the ordinance should provide that all children within this age limit must be in bed by O 'clock, but it was shown to him that this would be class legislation and in conflict with the inalienabe rights of children.
 The ordinance was finally agreed up on and Marshal Carico was instructde to tap the fire bell four times every night at 8:30 O clock, when all children on the street not accompanied by person of lawful age will have to break for home.
 Lawmakers in search of things to re- form are always safe in reforming or trying to reform children and liquor traffic, so the latter had to get it's dose also, the council passing an ordin- ance prohibiting any saloons on any street of the city except Broad street. The ordinance will not interfere with any saloons now on other streets.
 The Gallagher saloon matter again came up and was again laid on the table for another week. Mir. Gala gher wants license to conduct saloon near the Old Dominion shelter, but as there has been considerable objection from the company and residents of the district, the council has been in quan- dary as to what action to take.
 Supervisor of Streets Goodwin was ordered to immediately have the bridge over Pinal creek repaired and a new floor will be laid at once.

COWBOY ExoNERATED
tleman near Jerome, Is Set Free

Word has been received that Winnie Rosenberger. who shot and killed A. c. Hochderfer on the Hurley < Cox ranch about twenty miles from Jerome last Saturday, had been exonerated by the Jerome authorities, says a Phoenix paper.
 Nothing had ben heard of the killing until the story was read in the Repub hean yesterday morning and little or nothing is known of the details of it now. A brother of Hochderfer, who happened to be in town, took the first train for the north after reading of the tragedy.
 John Hurley, speaking of the affair last night, said that he expected letter today from Mir. Cox concerning the kill ing. He said that both Hochderfer and Rosenberger had been in the employ of the firm for about two years. Both were good men and MT. Hurley is at a loss to imagine how the fatal encounter was brought about
