MUST HAVE A FOUNDATION.
Wooden Dresses Are All Now Built
Upon a Lining.

The wooden dress of this season is
built partially upon lining-that is,
portions of the waist include a lining.
The surplice waist, stylish in every
detail, is dependent upon foundation.
The draped satin waist would lose it's
classic lines if denied the lining.
These wooden fabrics are light in
weight and many are light in color.
There are rich light fawn shades that
are fashioned in one-piece costumes
and trimmed with satin bands and net
yokes and sleeves upon chiffon lin
ings. One dress was worthy of men,
ton because of its clever pattern and
trimming. 1t was a light tan cloth
trimmed with bands of peacock blue
passementerie and piped with blue
satin. The slit seam of the skirt
showed a narrow band of the silk,
with small buttons placed close to-
gether down each side of the piped
lines The buttons were quite small
and cloth-covered. The waist was very
much on the order of a jumper, with
the shoulders split at the front and
back, piped with small ruffles of cream
valenciennes. The high collar was
banded with narrow strip of brown
velvet The hat was made of brown
satin and trimmed with brown plumes
and band of gold braid finished with
gold tassels. The gloves matched the
dress.

requiring taste and ingenuity rather
than expert workmanship
A wide puff of cream net bordered
on each side by line of tiny roses
or rosebuds and a single or double
frill of lace make a good finish for one
of the voluminous hoods of taffeta
or liberty Sometimes the frills are of
silk mousseline or chiffon rather than
of lace, and perhaps the outer frill
matches the hood in color while the
frill next the hair and face is white.
Narrow black lace and knots of
black velvet trim one hood of straw
colored silk, and velvet loops and bows
finish the front of another silk model
which has only narrow bordering
frill of lace around the face but deep
capelike lfrill of lace around the neck.
A majority of the hoods have some
sort of cape finish, more or less shall
low, and some have long scarfs of the
hood material cut in one with the
body of the hood.
Two wells, one falling in front and
one behind, are adjusted to most of
the poke and coal scuttle motor bon
nets, and the neutral and medium
tints are usually chosen, the fashion
able smoke and taupe grays being es-
pecially popular. Other small, close
fitting bonnets have wells draped
round them and falling at the back in
two long scarfs, which may be adjust
ed and manipulated as the wearer
may choose.
Half bonnet, half hood are certain
motor toques in mousseline de sole
on the order of the taupe one pic
tured here, with wide, low draped
crown, soft frills falling over the hair
and long scarfs brought forward from
sides and back.

SHAM SKIRTS MUCH WORN.
Brought Back to Favor by the Vogue
of Over-Drapery.

There is wide return to the skirt
made of silk or its imitation, instead
of the skirt of one material from
waist to hem.
1t has been many years since the
sham skirt was considered possible.
1t has been revived over and again
whenever the overskirt or tunic came
into fashion.
1t is now here in full force because
over-drapery is SO much part OF
every costume. The silk foundation
is gored, and then bias fold or cir
cular ruf1le finishes out the length
Over this the drapery is dropped from
the waist.
Even street skirts are built in this
manner. 1t is not an especial econo-
my, as some women seem to think,
because the tunic takes as much ma
terial as the whole skirt would.
Overdrapery is exceedingly good
looking when we'll done. 1t must be
close fitting over the hips, and have
a long straight line at the back and
cut in perfect lines around the hem.
Too much care cannot be given to this
drapery, as any line that cuts the
figure off is exceedingly bad when
it is not good.
These tunics are finished with wide
braid or bands of embroidery. In fine
fabrics for house wear there is usually
only hem, but it really needs more
than this. Nothing makes a better
trimming than one of the f1let bands
now offered in every color and price,

riety and originality are surprising in
view of the somewhat narrow limita-
lions of line and idea.
Moreover the liking for hoods which
started first with practical fur and
cloth headgear for winter motoring
and developed into coquettish and
elaborate head covering for wear with
evening dress in open or closed cars
has spread far beyond it's original
field
Taffeta is used more often than any
other material for the making of the
modish evening hood. very soft taffeta
of course, without crispness, though
with a certain body which the big hood
needs. Liberty satin, too, is used
for lovely models, and occasionally one
sees a model of transparent nous
seine or net or lace over a silken
foundation.
Silk yelling, too, is hood material,
and one of the prettiest models was
in wolfe de sole ciel, with a little puff
fling bordered by cords of ciel taffeta
and frill of lace framing the face
while on the middle front just inside
the lace frill was posed garland of
tiny pink roses and foliage This same
model we have seen in rose pink taf-
feta and in a delicate lilac taffeta.
A hood of this type should surely
not be a difficult problem for clever
brains and fingers, and for that matter
a majority of the models are not par
ticularly complicated in cons .ruction,

COURT IN MOBILE
JUDGE sEMMEs WILL CHARGE JURY
 TODAY.
Investigation May Re Made of Sunday Baseball and Violations of The Nine o'clock Closing
 

Mobile. May 3l-(Special.)--The June term of the City Court will convene at noon tomorrow.
 There will be little work the first day beyond tho empaneilfng and the charging of the grand jury.
 This will be the first term of court under the new Code and there Is much speculation upon the probable applica- ton of the new laws by the jury and the court.
 There was a rUmor afioat last week that Judge SenInes would give spe- ciai charge upon the question of Sun- day baseball Tha point was made that ha had knowledge through the press and through general report of the frecuent violation of this law and could not well avoid laying emphasis on the point fin his charge.
 On the other hand. 1t was contend ed that Judge Semnaes knew the con- stitutionality of the law would be brought in question and he would not give a charge that might indicate a bias; that the cases would 20 before the grand jury by the action of the da- fendants demanding a jury trial and the need of 6 charge was thus averted.
 There are i've capital cases to be laid before the grand 1ury--four for murder and one for carna1 knowledge of child. All these defendants are negroes, and in the last case, Is himself 2 child of about 12 years of age.
 One case to be considered Is that of Charles zan1nnett. an aged Sicilian. who shot Willie Wilkins about a year ago. He has been In jail the entire year in default of bail and former grand ju- ries have passed his case because of the belief that Wilkins would die of the wound. Wilkins is paraiyzed. and may die at any time.

CHAPTER XVIII. fl T.Mtfaw.

On Monday evening after dinner, when the dessert had been placed on the table and the butler had ciosed the door. Mir. Everard and his son sat for . while in silence. Leonard. a little flushed and a little nervous of voice. began:
 Have you had any more 'biils?' He had expected none. and thus hoped to begin by acoring against his father. It was something of a set-down to him when the latter. taking some papers from his breast-pocket. handed them to him, saying:

 'Tt would almost seem as if all these people had made up their minds that you were of no further use to them. If they ever expected to do any more business with you, they would never risk your custom by sending their dun ming letters to me" Then without pausins he said. but in'a sharper voice:
 Have you paid the jeweiersf This is Monday!''
 Without speaking Leonard took leisureiy from his pocket a folded paper. This he opened, and. after de. liberately smoothing out the folds, handed 1t to his father. Doubtless something in his manner had already convinced the latter that the debt was paid. He knew his son too well to take his tacit insolence as due to any cause but the conviction of security. lie took the paper in as leisurely a way as 1t had been given, adjusted his spec tacles. and read tt.

RESULT or AFFRAY ON A PENsA-

Conductor Ferney fs Accused of shoo<- ing the Soldier and Wiu Be Tried in United Ststes
 Court

Pensacola. Fla, May sI.-Cspeclal l. As a result of the shooting of Musician n Wilson, of the 22nd Company of Coast Artillery. at a late hour last night. while he was aboard a bay-shore car. Conductor George Fernsy. who was in charge of the trailer of the car was this morning placed under arrest by the police and held awaiting the issu. ance of warrant from the United States Court.
 The shooting occurred upon the na- val reservation. and about six miles from the city. and for this reason the warrant for the conductor will come from the Federal Court.
 The artiileryman was shot three times. according to advices from the post this morning, and one of the wounds may prove fatal. One bullet entered the leg and after striking the bone lodged In the fieshy portion. where 1t was found and extracted. Another passed through the right arm and the third struck the head, and this Is the one which may prove fatal.
 Ferney declares most empha ticaliy that he did not fire any shots. and claims he did not even nave a weapon on his person The soldiers. some thirty in number. however. claim that Ferney did the shooting while he was standing on the running board of the car. and would have fired more but that he was struck in the mouth by another man.
 The conductor had a narrow escape from being lynched. as he was jumped upon and beaten by the soldiers, but succeeded in making his escape and fled, being followed by the soldiers But for the fact that a number of cirf- zers were at summer hotel. where the man took refuge. and they gave him protection he would probably have suffered greatly, as the artillerymen threatened to lynch him.
 Cars operated for the remainder of last night and those going out early this morning had United States deputy raarshals aboard.
