SPRING JACKETS.
The Independent jacket shows no
special novelty. Varieties Of the Pony
coat and the Elton are uppermost, A
smart spring jacket has military frogs
across the front, an ornamentation
which always imparts certain DASH
ing air. A pretty bolero jacket is cut
all 10 one, the sleeves very full and
falling to the elbow in graceful rip
pies. sAll over" lace or braided ma
terial is suitable for this jacket--a
style especially becoming to slender
figures. Another mart jacket is
trimmed with double loops Of large
cord covered white silk, four loops be-
ing placed together. two on each side
Of double cord, passing over the
shoulders and ending above the belt
line at back and front. Straps hold
the fuIlness in position just below the
cord trimming, giving tight-fttinR
effect.
LONGER COATS.
Among these is one called an Empire
coat Of medium length, quite loose.

quarter length sleeyes--it presents a

Skirts Spring Jackets Long Coats
New Millinery.

New millinery.
The search for novelties is almost
hopeless in any department Of fashion
and slight differences in cut or trim
mings constitute the sole variety now
in sight. Walking skirts will be some
what longer, as the short skirt has
been carried to such an extreme that
reaction must ensue. First-class dress
makers insist that plaits around the
hips must be fitted with exceeding
nicety, which is an argument against
ready-made skirts. Some prominent
modistes are using the center plaits
at back and front which improves the
chang" and gives additional sweep to
the lower edge. The incoming OF skirt
braid is quite probable with the adj
vent of the longer skirt.
TRIMMINGS.
Simple tucks are seen on the larger
proportion Of new yoiles with perhaps
a narrow fancy braid on the upper
one or an embroidered band IN self
colors. silk rutfies, SO scant that they
seem to be folds, are effective in pale
hued woods, the silk exactly matching
the stripe in color. A belt and sleeve
facing in unison are a matter Of
course. Braiding mot fat appears on
any and all garments and special
advantage of this garniture is that it
can be done at home. Alternate bands
Of braiding on the dress material and |
any heavy lace, preferably Irish point
Or its imitation, is an elegant trim
ming for a voile suit jacket. Flat |
bands Of Persian embroidery in var
led widths are in high esteem, giving
character to pale hued costumes or to

wraps. The lace appliques, with or

SPOKANE ARMORY
BILL INTRODUCED

OLYMPIA, Feb. 8.-The joint
armory bill of the senate and house
committees was introduced yester-
day in the house. 1t provides for
the construction Of armories at
Spokane, Seattle and Tacoma. For
the purpose of completing the Spo-
kane armory the bill provides an
appropriation of $58,363.O6. The
conditions are that Spokane first
turn over $3.50 to the state treas
urer, which will be placed in the
school fund. The state treasurer
will also place in the school fund
$20,250 from the Spokane armory
fund and surrender to Spokane
county 100000 of her bonds, which
were purchased by the permanent
school fund under date of Sept. Is,

trance. Then the drive is made to
court along less frequented streets.
At the criminal courts building a
path is made for Evelyn and Miss
Mckenzie through the crowd that al
ways assemblies. and the two are
taken quietly into Justice Fitzger-
AIDS chambers, where they wait I'M
til 1890. The door is quietly opened
and Evelyn Thaw enters the court
room.
The days torture is on.
Not until / o'clock and sometimes
later does the recess for luncheon
allow the poor girl to leave her seat
Then she retires to the judges cham
bers, or another private apartment
off the court room, where n tray from
a nearby restaurant is waiting. An
hour passes, which is often inter-
rupted by conferences with Harry's
lawyers, then back to the court
room.
The torture continues.
Six o'clock, possibly a half hour
earlier brings release with the adj
journment of court for the day
From now on the program varies.
Often the lawyers insist upon an
other conference, held in their Of
fees in lower Broadway. This means
another trip, long consultation and
perhaps no dinner. If there is no
conference Evelyn enters her cab
with Miss Mckenzie and goes direct
ly to the Lorraine. Once arrived
there are many things to do, and
often it is after before Evelyn sits
down to dinner-again in her apart
ment. Hardly an evening passes that
some one of the lawyers for Harry
does not come to consult Mrs. Thaw
and Evelyn.
The girl, with an aching head and
weary heart, never abates her in
terest and is eager for any new point
or fresh bit of evidence that is I'M
der advisement. She makes sugges-
lions, often helpful ones, and eagerly
gives what strength she has to the
task of the lawyers-for Harry.
Nearly every friend Is barred. and
the postman leaves letters in vain
her day is given up to the one idea.
And Evelyn goes to her sleeping
room knowing that there is a tomor-
row OF exactly the same sort-many

SPENT A FORTUNE FOR POOR

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Nearly two
years ago, when j. G. Phelps
Stokes demonstrated his faith in
his cherished theory of democracy
by marrying a poor Russian char
ity worker and making his home
on an upper floor of an East Side
tenement, the world cast aside the
last doubt of his sincerity.
There he has lived and worked,
abandoning his big estates and
spending his income for the good of
his fellowmen. Faithfully and with
enthusiasm, his young wife has sec
onded his efforts to assist the sick
and needy and uplift the down
trodden.
Practically every cent of the in
come from his fortune has been
spent by young Stokes in Univer-
sity settlement work and other phi
lanthropic schemes. For his own
livelihood he has depended almost
entirely upon the stipend gained
from his literary productions.
Now, believing that his efforts
have been too much along one line,
the young millionaire and his wife
have announced that they will
abandon their East Side home and
move to little bungalow on Staten
island, where they will find more
time to devote to philanthropic lit
erature and to use in encouraging
charity work in broader field.
1t is the aim of young Stokes to
organize the devotees of this kind
of work all over the country and
concentrate his efforts toward d.
recting their operations. At the

word in regard to the safety Of
the public" that the Washington
Water Power Co. prates about. By
standing at some of the railroad
crossings when a Washington
Water Power car is crossing and
noting how long it takes the car to
cross the tracks, especially when
there is snow or mud on the rails,
the public will readily understand
how to account for the accidents
that happen at the railroad cross
ings. 1t is like taking a dive into
eternity" to make one of these
trips. The reason for this is the
cheese pairing policy of the COM
pany in buying small, light cars
with weak motors, all the power
of which is needed to make the
speed under favorable conditions.
Compare them with the cars of the
Traction Co. and you will notice
that the latter cars have power
enough to give them momentum
sufficient to take them across the
railroad tracks in case a trolley
comes off, or progress is impeded
by snow or mud on the tracks.
1t Is a rare thing to hear Of a
wreck on the Traction lines. They
employ experienced men.
