licenses whenever he sold liquors.
Attorney 10 Jaques represented
Chase by the appointment of the

in his own behalf and not a word Of
evidence came from witnesses lips
but what he took it all in. He contin-
ually explained the situation to At
torney Jaoues and succeeded in max
ing good case for himself. Chase,
dressed in a common suit of clothes
and blue flannel shirt, with collar
rising above his coat, eve glasses on
in his own behalf, prompting the at
torney and an occasional squirt at
the cuspidore. made him rather an
amusing sight

When Hanging Curtains.

A house decorator gives this impor-
tant advice to women who are arrang-
Ing their homes. They should not
hang curtains Of one color against a
wall paper of another color. They
should not join carpets of opposite
colors. They should not put different
papers on the walls OF adjoining
rooms which have wide archways or
folding doors between. These are
simple suggestions. but they mean a
great deal. The woman who is guided
by them will arrive at much better
results than she who ignores them.
When II is not possible to have the
carpets alike in rooms that are Joined
by wide openings, a rug should be
laid over the long seam TO hide 1t.

As u was rumored in the summer,
the padded waist line has come 20
psss' There Is an oblong pillow worn
down the center seam Of skirt and
princess frock to give large waist
line and a straight drop from bust to

Extra thin women are padding the
corset at the back, where the straight
frock or coat is apt to fall into curved
waist line. This spoils the effect OF
the vide, straight back, which Is the
feature OF good fashion to-day.
Women who have large waists are
happily letting them out and having
comfort for the first time in their
Hives. The only thing is that one must
wear gowns and coats in straight
lines, otherwise the effect is absurd.
Anything that tends TO enlarge hips
and bust is considered bad manage
ment in dressing, and even though the
waist line is not only let out, but pad.

tight from the waist down.
