The Dinner Menu
Fashions for the Baby

Baby clothes were never more dainty
or costly than this season.. for from
the little bands and shirts of the finest
wool to the dresses, which may be as
elaborate as fancy dictates, every arti-
Gle is the perfection of fine work and
material
For instance, flannel petticoats oc-
cupy an important place in the layette.
and are works of art. Some OF the
most beautiful are in flower designs,
forget-me- nots, violets and lilies of the
valley being especially delicate. The
most intricate floral patterns are inter-
twined with leaves, the design running
round and round the skirt to depth
of six inches. The embroidery Is. OF
course. done in white. This emblem
of purity is a sine qua non of infant
garments.
Another flannel feature of the layette
is the sacque. Knitted ones are no
longer fashionable, and to take their
place have come the fine French flannel
or cashmere embroidered at the edge,
or dotted all over with tiny flowers and
wreaths and tied at the neck with
white ribbon. No small child can have
too many of these. Quite as necessary
are the three cornered shawls, which
are convenient TO protect the infant
head and neck from draft.
Though women rhapsodize over these
minor pieces, the most interesting arti-
cles are the dresses. These are SO ex-
quisite that few mothers have the time
patience or skill to make them and Sc
order them from the shops which now
make speciality of babies wardrobes
The little dresses do not vary par
ticularly in cut. most of them being
in one piece without yokes, but there
is infinite variety In the manner OF
finish. Fine tucking leads, and shir-
ring comes next. and then there is the
introduction of insertion. though this is
less popular. AS to the material, it Is
of the sheerest French lawn or main
sock. All models are plainly finish ed
at the bottom with a deep hem. beauti-
fully henstitched. of course. Feather
stitching plays an important part in
most of these cobwebby dresses and
sometimes there is exquisite drawn
work which represents more time and
money than trimming of lace.
Fashionable women give a. dash. OF
color to their basinets-blue for boy
and pink for a girl. If the storh
brings a girl when boy has beer
prepared for, the color is Immediately
changed. Femininity dearly loves the
basinet. The square or round basket
is padded and scented and lined with
silk and contains about as many ar
ticles for the baby's toilet as are to be
found on the dressing table of the

COCHISE COUNTY
MAN FROM MEXICO
BUNCOES DOUGLH|TES
Gets Number of Checks Cash
ed Against a Worthless
Draft in Bank.

DOUGLAS, Ariz.. Feb. 22-(Special)
"A pretty shrewd bunco game accom-
plished among few business men and
citizens of Douglas by a man from
Mexico about two weeks ago has just
come to light
A man giving his name as A. ]. Day-
idson and his address as Santa Rosa,
Mexico, came to Douglas about two
weeks age and proceeded to get real
well acquainted at two or three saloons
and with hohst of good fellows about
town. He was an agreeable fellow to
meet, seemed to have what money he
needed and made friends quickly. His
manner of getting acquainted and es-
tablishing himself was quite an in
genious one. Il was by the means of
ia mysterious box that he gained an
His game was to go into place with
the neat looking wooden box and ask
the proprietor if he would accommo-
date him by allowing him to leave the
box in his place for a day or two. He
said he had no place to keep it where
he thought il would be safe 1t con-
tanned some very high priced and val
liable tools. He called once or twice
a day to inquire if the box was caus-
ing any inconvenience at all, and about
the third day took lie away. He did
this in several places. When he had
cultivated quite little corteries of
business friends and acquaintance, he
drew on bank in Santa Rosa for 5000
through the First National bank. Then
he commenced writing small sized
checks on the First National bank
ag anst the draft which they were col
Letting and asked his friends to cash
them, saying that he had become finan-
cially short and had drawn on his ac-
count and that the money would be
forthcoming in a few days. The draft
was for 5000. Those to whom he
presented his checks and his story,
of course, called up the bank and
found that his story of drawing on
the outside bank was correct, and al
though they we're told that the money
had not yet come, they had become
sufficiently impressed with the strang-
er's apparent honesty to let him have
the money. Before news came that
the draft was returned marked no
funds, the stranger was out of town
and he has not since been heard from.
