may say with some degree of certainty that

long will there be q demand for the blouse
And 1t is in the world of blouses that la
mode this season has achieved one or her
greatest triumphs by bringing this usetui
little garment into conformity with the
skirt, not necessarily by making 1t or the
same color or material throughout, but In
many instances by bordering 1t with pieces
Of the material OF which the coat and skirt
are made. Perhaps 1t is because simple

Only for the Youthful.
The pinafore bodice for grownup wom-
an seems rather an absurd idea, doesn't 1t?
And yet 1t is an idea which finds favor in
the sight of many. On a number of the
new gowns one sees the genuine pianofore
bodice. and on others merely the shoulder
straps that give this effect. One thing to
be said in favor Of this mode Is that 1t Is
very practical and is one Of the few smart
STYLES that lend themselves to making over
schemes and enable one to transform last
years bodice into something up to date at
small expense. My personal opinion is
that the .pinafore bodice Is only suitable
for quite young women and for girls. 1t
has a cruel little way of making the wom-
en- of uncertain age look ridiculous.
Another fashion-one OF the latest nov
elties-which is suitable only for young
and slender women Is the short coatee
which lust covers the waist line and Is dis
tinctly shorter in front than at the back
This smart little garment is in great favor
just now. and 1t is rather Fascinating IN

A Dainty Creation.
Among several delightful coats that
were being packed off to Monte Carlo L
saw a sack model of ivory cloth that was
a dream of beauty Viewed in profile, the
garment fell in straight lines similar to
those of a well-cut racing coat, and the
sleeves were very uncommon ana uncom-
monty attractive. But when one thinks OF
them they were not sleeves In the proper
acceptation of the term. They were capes

sections. one above the other, and at the

summer. Picture gowns are lovely when
worn by the right woman aud made by the
right person. but what possibilities they
embrace! And who will have the coura ge
to tell the wrong woman that they are
wrong? Roughly speaking. it may be taken
for granted that the ultra picture style is
only suitable for carriage wear OF course
II can be worn at garden parties and at
afternoon receptions. but no woman ought
to permit herself to be picture unless her
means enable her to drive on all occasions
And when / say drive | do not mean in
a cab. Women who go in for walking or
the convenient cab may wear the most
charmingly pretty gowns. but they cannot
ouopl picture or AT least they
ought not to do To be well dressed is
to be suitably dressed, and picture gowns
are not suitable for street wear even In
the afternoon and certainly no woman Of
taste would think of wearing them in the
morning.

Best WAYS to Wind Wool.

Wool for knitting crochet should never
i,- wound very tightly into a hard ball. as
this makes il thin and poor. Some good
knitters merely unwind the skein into a
soft heap but this method is only possible
where there is no fear OF ENHANCEMENT,
as If the heap OF wool be disturbed il soon
gets into a hopeless tangle. better plan
is to wind the wool over three or four An
gers OF the left hand held outside the ball.
These fingers should be gently withdrawn
at n .quent intervals TO change the position
of the ball. says Woman's Life. Wool
thus wound is always soft and full OF
thread.

LOOKS LIKE a MTSTRIAL
Depends on a Condition That Seems
Impossible Now.

At the opening of the session DR..
Britton D. Evans, superintendent Of
the New Jersey State Hospital for the
Insane, was recalled as an alienist to
continue his direct examination. The
witness was asked to detail the con-
versatons he had had on various oc-
casions with Thaw in the Tombs He
had already declared these conv ersa-
tons to be an essential feature in his
conclusion that Thaw was of unsound
mind at the time of the doctors first
three visits to him, the last being on
Sept. %. Jerome had withdrawn his
objections to statements by Thaw go
ing into the evidence, and DR.. Evans
was about to detail the events of his
first visit on Aug. when the sum-
mons for Juror Bolton came.
Captain Ricketts,. of the court police
squad, was seen to whisper to Justice
Fitzgerald. Bolton seemed to divine
his mission and moved uneasiIy in his
chair. a recess was taken until p.
m. and the juror, accompanied by two
Of his associates and two court Off
GERS. hurried to the little home in the
Bronx, where Mrs. Bolton was being
kept alive only by the use of oxygen.
She died soon after her husbands ar

2:25 p. N. there had been q conference
of the attorneys with Justice Fitzger-

reached TO release the remaining jur-
ors from further confinement.

The Village Parson" is expected to
draw largely at the Towle opera house

to be one of the strongest and best
plays seen at this theater this season.

cradle power in which the sorrows
and contemplations Of a village minis
ter are detailed. He is subjected to
strong trials through the supposed
faults Of his wife and her father who
are really innocent. The good man
goes from bad to worse. but the wrongs

WOULD WIPE OUT THE SALOON
Decision by an Indiana Judge CaIcu-
lated to Give Liquor Sellers the
Nightmare.

Lebanon, Ind, Feb Is. Circuit
Court Judge S. r. Artman handed
down a decision calculated to give sa-
loonkeepers nightmare. Judge Artman
held that the legislature has no more
legal right to license the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors than it has to license
gambling If the decision IS upheld
by the higher courts it will close every
saloon in the state. Judge Artman
held that the retail liquor business has
no legal standing, on the ground that
1t is not one Of the inherent common
law rights of citizenship since the
business is dangerous TO public health
public morals, and public safety.
The legislature, Judge Artman de-
clared, cannot make lawful for price
that which is unlawful, because that
contrayenes the fundamental principle
of government. In other words, the
legislature cannot legahze a menace to
public health, and nor can the state,
under the guise of a police regulation
looking to the public morals, license
the saloon business.
