The rumor is confirmed by some
West End shopkeepers, who profess to

few days in sunshades specially de-
signed for man g use The shades are,
of course, not the elaborate article
used by the lady of fashion. but the
plain, unadorned specimen often used
by man in tropical countries.
At some of the recent race meetings
a few well dressed men have been bold
enough to start the fashion, and at As

Latest Compromise Measure Failed to
Satisfy Executive, Whom Hotel,
Restaurant and Theatrical
Men Supported

Mayor Harper yesterday vetoed the
Dromgold sign ordinance because 1t ala
not meet his views in prohibiting the use
of swinging electric signs.
1.-THE ordinance was satisfactory TO me
in all respects save one" said the mayor
last night, land l saw no use in signing
an ordinance prohibiting a privilege
which l conscientiously believe should be
granted.
"I cannot see how such signs when
illuminated at night can do any harm I;
in the daytime they fold back against
the buildings"
The ordinance which the mayor has
vetoed contains the following section:
1t shall be unlawful for any hrm,
person or corporation to erect, place
or maintain sign horizontally on
any building above the first story
thereof, except in such a manner that
the sign shall not extend below the
Intel or above the sill of any window
in such building. without first op-
tanning a permit from the board OF
public works.
Some of the other provisions are that
signs on the ground floor shall not ex-
tend more than twelve inches into the
xtreet from the face of building; that
signs above the first story may not ex-
tend more than thirty inches and no
sign may extend across window unless
it be ten feet from the street,
Hotel, restaurant and theatrical men
made a hard fight for swinging signs.

was given to the jury at o'clock, the
time for adjournment of court.
The complainant in her testimony said
Worthington and herself became infat-
uated with each other but this feeling
soon lessened, so far as she was con-
cerned, and when she wished to return to
her home Worthingtor protested and in
a quarrel threw the acid on her. Worth
ington, on the other hand, said he pur-
chased the acid for the purpose of taking
his life, and when he was about to drink
it the woman tried to get the bottle. In
the struggle, he said, the liquid was
thrown over the woman's face and some
of it also burned his wrists, as a proof
of which he showed number of scars.

One does not always desire plain waists
or simple ones, though the home needle
woman is often deferred from attempting
the more elaborate models for fear of
the difficulties which they present. A
waist which deserves special mention for
its graceful charm is here sketched. 1t
is made of chiffon crepe de chine, but
any soft, silken fabric or a soft draping
wool would make up prettily. For the
vest and cuffs embroidery Is used, while
an allover lace is employed for the chem
isette and mitten extension sleeves.
Pleats adorn the waist very effectively.
with velvet ribbon applied in strap effect
and enhanced by small buttons. If the
mitten sleeve is not desired this may be
omitted and the sleeve made in a single
long puff to the elbow. To develop this
pretty waist in the medium size three
and one-eighth yards of 27-inch material
will be needed 69S5-six sizes, 81 to ~
inches bust measure. The price of, this
pattern is 10 cents.
