There was meeting of the citizens of Fort Payne at the court house Saturday to see about raising the s5OOO needed U secure the location of the State high school at this place. There has alrea iy been over S250o raised for the purpose of building new school house, and a con- mittee was appointed to see the donators and also see if they couldn't raise the rest of the required amount in order to secure thls appropriation. The towh owns a beautiful lot and will procure enough land to make the five acres which are required. Fort Payne is centrally located Tn the county and has a fine sys- tenn of water works and sewerage, and If the new school Is located here, this will add greatly to the health of the town, as the school will necessarily bring many more people into the town.

 He took us several acts passed by the legislature ana discussed them fully. He praised Governor Conner for what he had done in regard to keeping his promises to tine people. He said he regretted the fact that the tax commission had caused so much trouble in DeKalb county; that 1t had never been intended for the men who owned forty acres of land and were try- ing to make an honest living. He re- ferred to the fact that over roo men had been summoned before the board of com mssoners in this county to have their taxes raised from S20 to s20O, and said the law was for large corporations. of which many had been raised several millions of dollars
 His speech was well received by the people and he was cheered several times. Many ladies were present.

The call to go up the ladders was the

Lillian Russell Grows Coy.

From Here and There" in The Bohem-
ian.
No matter what your recommendations,
If you call at the office of the hotel in
which Lillian Russell stops and seek to
send your card up to her, the clerk on
duty will look you straight in the eye
and solemnly declare that Miss Russell is
mot in At least, this is true unless you
can satisfy him that you are not inter-
ested in an advertising scheme. Then you
have to convince the Pinkerton man on
duty in the hall outside the Russell
apartments, the Russell maid, the Russell
secretary and finally Miss Russell herself.
The espionage grows out OF the annoy
ances to which Miss Russell was sub
jected at her hotel in Chicago the day
after her premiere as a comedienne. A
horde of special advertising managers and
lad writer's" swept down upon her, seek
ing permission to use her photograph and

face powders and complexion creams to
canned sausages and flve-cent cigars, In
geniously blended from rope fibre and

Finally the ban of prohibition was post
ed at the office and Miss Russell was
beginning to breathe freely, when a
shadow darkened her boudoir window
and a breezy young man, overlooking
with cordial bonhomie, stepped through
from the fire escape and greeted her eff
fusvely. Miss Russell was naturally in
dlgnant and called for help like the per-
secuted heroine in melodrama.
Don't get frightened. lady," said the
affable young man reassuringly. II want
to do you good. You for the picture on
the new toothwash wrapper. Me for the
business details Both of us for the
wide publicity. Are you on?''
Miss Russell acknowledged that she
was, but voiced indignant protest against
rude intrusion. She was deaf to argu-
ment. BY this time couple of hall
porters had responded to the comedi-
enne's third alarm. The breezy young
man was borne away, struggling but

is TO place from six 10 eight short small
tucks in the centre and at each side of
the front to throw a slight fullness over
the bust Do not make too full, unless
you are very slender as the old time
pouched blouse is entirely out of date.
Most blouses seen in the exclusive
shops have no more fullness than is
made by the omission OF the darts in
the outside material. Formerly the out-
side blouse material was cut consid-
erably wider and fuller than the lining,
this is no longer the case, and the fronts
are drawn down quite faulty from the
high bust to the slightly sloping waist
line.
The upper edge of the front material
should be arranged and basted on the
paper i'm such manner that the lower
edge of the yoke trimming when stitched
through will hold it in place. The ma

The manner of sewing on the hooks

By reversing the edge OF the hem. and

BY alternating the hooks and eyes.
their aggravating tendency to unlock
themselves whilst being hooked is pre-
vented. The tautness OF the tight fitting
lining holds them firmly once they are
hooked
Spread the shank Of the plain hook
when sewing on; this prevents the hook
from slipping and holds it on until the
waist is worn out.
Sew the hooks with strong waxed
thread or twist to the two rows of
stitching, as shown in the Illustration.
This stitching reinforces the edge and
also serves as a guide in sewing the
hooks and eyes on correctly; that is.
with the eyes extended beyond the edge
and the hooks set back a trife. so that
when the waist is booked up, the edges

Do not sew sideways through the loops
Of either the hooks or eyes, but directly
from the back. Place at least a dozen
stitches in each loops. and do not have
the hooks and eyes more than an inch

even better in a very tight lining.
