MADE IN PRINCESS Sly
STYLE.
Handsome Reception Gown of chevIot
with Fine Trimmings.

A very handsome reception. gown
was developed in princess model
from cerise French cheyiot. This mate.
rial being rather heavy, the elabor'
ate touches were shown in fine trim
mings. A deep yoke of white lace was
broad over the shoulders and the
front piece extended several inches
below the waist line, where it was
finished with broad tab effect. The
narrow belt closed at each side of the
lace piece. An odd feature of the
trimming was shown in innumerable
little pendants Of cerise enamel which
studded the lace, not heavily, but no
ticeably. The skirt was made decided
ly full around the lower portion by tho
introduction of set-in folds which were
simply outlined with narrow finish
ing braid of the same color. The
sleeves were alternate rows of cerise
satin and the belt was of satin.

The season,s Shoulder.

Dropping shoulders are not likely ID
obtain much success in the garments
intended for street wear.
The Paris models so far shown In
this cut give too contracted an ap
pearance in the back to appeal Ia
the American taste.
They are likely to obtain in even.
ing wraps, because a looser and
broader effect can be secured in such
a garment, which this season must
be of nature tG clip on and CO
easily, as we'll as not TO crush the
large sleeves worn beneath.
Broad shoulders are the proper
thing, for the tailored garment, in
both suits and separate coats in
tended for day wear.
1t is in these styles of garments
that the restrictions of the. American
taste are likely to prevail over the
French fashion indications.

HOW TO GET PINK CHEEKS.
staying Much In the Open Air Is the
Best Recipe.

Red cheeks are at the command of
every woman, but few understand this.
Few women are naturally pale.
We sometimes redden the cheeks by
quick methods which bring results
that are most satisfactory. We slap
the cheeks vigorously, three or four
spats with the palm Of the hand, and
the cheeks will glow for long time.
We advise early rising whenever
possible because there is a nipping
eagerness about the early morning air
which acts like a brisk rubbing upon
the face. 1t bites and makes the
cheeks glow pink.
A good walk in sharp air will pol
ish the cheeks into redness as though
one had rubbed them with rough
cloth and pinched them with the I'm
gers.
Food has a great deal to do with
red cheeks. Foods that are highly
spiced and stimulating will make a
woman pale. Foods that manufacture
blood will make a woman red in the
face, but she must be careful not to
partake too freely of them.
Staying out in the open air, II one
is in good health, will give a woman
red cheeks. 1t reddens the cheeks OF
a child and 1t will redden the cheeks
of a woman. Outdoor air, open-air
sleeping and walking in the wind will
make the cheeks red.

WHIPPED A
STRANGER.
Night Riders Drive a Man
From Gracey Tuesday
Night.
TAKEN FOR DETECTIVE.
Town Marshal Required to
Go Along and Witness
the Whipping,

Gracey was visited by a band of
masked men Tuesday night before
midnight. A stranger claiming to
be horse trader, whose name was
said to be Jacob Wootton, was taken
out of house where he was spend
ing the night and whipped by the
mob.
Town Marshal &. M. Warder was
awakened by shots in front of his
house and he was called to come out
and go with them, which he did.
He found they already had with
them the operator of the Cumber-
berland Telephone office. There
were twenty or twenty-five men, all
masked, and they went to where the
stranger was and calling him out
struck him eight or ten times with a
whip and ordered him to leave
Gracey the next morning. The man
had been there about a week and
the night riders suspected that he
might be a detective. He left yes
terday.
There were rumors that snveral
negroes were whipped, but this re-
port could not be verified, as the
citizens all declined to give informa-
ton.

The plfncuIt Handahaks.

1t is a difficult matter, this, of shak-
ing hands. To start with, 1t Is not
always easy to know whether to shake
hands, or simply bow, or even just
scatter a gentle smile around. Books
of etiquette devote pages to the hand
shake. However, II one decides to do
1t, then 'twere we'll 'twere done quick
ly. Let the action be swift and brief.

Flowers as a Cult.

One of the most practical plans for
intoxicating among the masses a taste
for plants and flowers has been hit
upon by the city fathers of the little
Hesslan town of Alley, where each
girl in the public elementary schools
receives every spring two plants to
care for. Inspectors at the end OF the
season make their report. which lie
invariably good.

Preserving Eoodstuifs.

Fish shown at Paris in 1900 had
been preserved in nitrogen for seven
years. Oranges, pears, grapes, cher
ries, etc, are now being packed In pa
per boxes containing nitrogen, and
the exclusion of oxygen seems to keep
the fruit from decay for an indefinite
time.

Society women both In the United
States and the United Kingdom un-

every passing generation. There are
in the present decade many who are
of good height, and 1t is noticeable
that the debutantes of each succeeding
year appear to have gained a little In

Staggering I.osscs BY Fire.

The totas OF fire losses in this coun
try may signify little to the average
mind. but the comparative figures
should mean much The figures 10
sued BY the national board OF fire
underwriters show that the average
fire loss per capita in the United
States for the .ast five years was
s3.O2. against 80 cents for six Eu-
ropean countries. Including France.
Germany and Austria. Il may be OBJ
jected perhaps that II Is unfair to
se,ect this particular period for pur-
poses of comparison. since both the
Baltimore FIRE of 1904 and the san
Francisco fire OF 1906 are included
in Il. And yet IL these two fires,
representing about s35O,OOO.0O0.
were deducted from the total FIRE loss
OF the country for the five years i
which Is estimated at s1.257,716.955
the total would be reduced By but
little over a fourth. And the Ameri-
can per capita loss would remain
six and one-half times larger than
the European What is to blame foT
this great disparity? Are We so much
more care.ess than Europeans? Are
European building codes. fire depart
ments and water supplies from six
and a half 10 ten times better than
those found in the United States?

Farmers and Gardeners In McCracken
County Sustain losses by Reason
OF Demcdations.

Vandals continue their debre~ia-
tons on watermelon patches In the
county and the farmers are up in
arms. The latest was in the patch
of Mr.. Henry Schnetdman, who lives
several miles from Paducah on the
Mayfield road. No trace of the van
dads could be followed. but 1, Is
thought that hoboes are guilty. as
tracks could be followed to the rail-
road track.
Saturday morning Mr.. Schneidman
gathered a large wagon toad OF

Paducah late in the, afternoon When
he hitched up and started to Paducah
he found that every melon had been
cut open OF thrown against the ground
and mashed Not satisfied with their
work. the vanda,s he'd entered his
potato patch and had done much dam
age by pulling up vines and uncover
ing young potatoes.
Several farmers have reported like
|depredatons. and at nights MANY
farmers remain on guard in the
melon patch. However, since the van
dals have become so bold that they
continue their operations in daylight
the farmers will have to devise a new
system Of guard duty.
