nnosToN" GREEN is DEAD.
Former Negro Character Of This City
Dies in Denver.


Word from Omaha, Neb., announces
the death in the county hospital Of
Boston" Green, once well known
negro character of this city. who made
Marshalltown his home for many
years. Green was q bootblack, and did
odd jobs about town, resulting In his
saving up little money and accumu-
lating small piece Of property.
Green went to Omaha about twenty
years ago, and has since lived there.
He was hard drinker. and about ten
years ago, while Intoxicated, got COW
cred up in a snowdrift and nearly froxe
to death. The experience left him a
cripple, and he has been cared for at
the police station, sleeping in the sta
BILE for years.
Green was one Of the most prolific
vendors of profanity ever known here
or In Omaha, and his triusuphal entry
to that city was heralded by an ocean
of oaths such as had never been wit
messed by the police OF Omaha. It is
estimated that the number OF times
Boston" has been arrested In Omaha
into the hundreds, and
after he became acquainted with
the police he always gave
himself UP when he got
good and drunk, and saved the police
the bother. Green was clothed by the
police, and the officers Of Omaha will
see that he is properly buried. For
three days before his death, probably
realizing that the end was near, Green
never uttered single oath, and never
took a drink. He feared that medical
students would seek his body for dis
secting purposes, and made the police
promise before his death that he be
given a Christian burial.

GorsefS Must BE AdaP-

Nearer.

EHHEWSSI IhE enough, WOmanKlnu
ksStNCaH has been terribly stirred
HEA %TyN up this season about the
IGNM RN fashions. The launching
@S1NXf3S of the sheath gown was
Es.s1AAAAkxn a shock, and the predic-
tions about clothes in general-and
corsets in particular-were nothing
short of appalling.
But, you know, 1t is one of the char
acteristics of the American woman to
jump to conclusions. A fault II is
termed by some, but il embodies such
spontaneity and freshness that older
and wiser heads condone 1t.
Well, as always happens after a
great excitement, We come down to
earth. and the modification of the eX-
treme is usually very satisfactory. The
case of the corset is no exception 10
the rule.
The new corsets are high and low,
but they are not designed to distort
the figure. as has been threatened. If
you have noticed well-dressed WON
en-, you have realized that the sil.
houete lacks nothing OF grace
Just a practical word about the
long and short" of the corset-they
must In a measure be considered az
comparative terms. The corset must
be high or low for the individual wear

an. The bones of corset should not
be so long. in either the front or back,
as TO make the wearer conscious OF
their existence. OF course, the cor.
set proper may be longer and higher
than its bones. II the bones be too
long they will be pushed up when the
wearer is seated, which will cause an
unsightiy bulge In the corset.
A corset should be fitted TO the
wearer in sitting position, and, II
perfectly right then, 1t cannot be
wrong when any other attitude is as
sumed.
The slender woman may assume the
high corset with less danger than the
stout woman: for the long corset is. Of
course, good for both alike.
The proper fit OF a corset is consid.
cred so important by the dealers in
good corsets that, in many shops. only
a corset-maker is permitted TO super.
intend the slightest alteration.

HNYENYF YOU are going to get

.a>a<Nz1zAea into consideration, first,
the money you have to spend, and Sec
ond, the way In which your life Is
spent, writes Annie Rittenhouse, in the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
If you are compelled to be on the
street a good deal, you want a coat
suit. If your life is mostly in the
house during the day hours, filled with
domestic duties, put your money into
top coat and a one-piece jumper

If you choose the former, don't get
satin, no matter how black 1t Is, nor.

There is going TO be n wide distinc-
ton this year between the clothes
worn on the street and those worn in.
doors. and you want to show that
you know 1t by choosing coat suit
of the toughest weave.
Last year the shops did not ofYer
these fabrics generously. for 1t was
a smooth" season. This year 1t is a

Ask at the counters or at your
tailor's for diagonal serge, for chevron
cloth. for English cheviot, for Scotch
homespun.
You will be delighted at the choice
to be made. Such stylish.looking
cloths have not been offered to wom-

You can't so wrong in choosing any
one of them. II there is leaning

marked stripes woven in the goods,
and the gray and black striped cheviot.
The striped broadcloths are also
here with n much rougher surface

good looking. and much admired, but
the fastidious woman will pass them
by for the new serges and cheviots.
