A sARroR1AL QUESTION.

The question as to whether turned
up trousers had gone out of style was
referred to the editor of The Sartorial
Art Journal, who said that men who
have to walk in wet weather will turn
up their trousers as they always have
done, and the fools who turn up their
trousers here in fair weather because
Its raining in London" will continue
to do so until their mental condition

up trousers for dress never was in
style. The garment, when it is part
of an outing suit, can be- abbreviated
by the turning up process. and the
Iimpness Of the material from which
these costumes are made justifies the

the garment hang better. But for

was old and lonely. But he found her

woman began prosecuting him. The
evidence shows that he paid her $17,-
600, but she was not satisfied, so she
sued him for divorce, naming his wife
as correspondent. There was not the
slightest evidence that Platt ever mar

threw the case out Of court, and the
plaintiff was arrested for perjury.

PRETTY CAP FOR CHILD.
OF Silk, Trimmed Around the Face
with Wool Canvas.

A cap for child of two is made OF
silk and trimmed around the face
with band of wool canvas lined with
silk and embroidered in the cross
stitch. The material is of square
mesh, not unlike linen canvas, and at
the same time the threads may be
pulled so that the band is finished on
each side with Mexican drawnwork.
The design used for the embroidery
is a wreath of roses interwined so
that they are continuous vine
around the cap. If the WOODEN ma
terial is not used for a trimming the
design may be worked on silk by first
basting over it some linen canvas.
The stitching may then go through
both that and the silk, and when the
design is finished the canvas may be
pulled away thread by thread. A cap
of this plain variety is more becoming
and more comfortable for baby
than are the very much trimmed and
fussy bonnets that many children

WHO IS TO BLAME7

The Douglas Island News is justly in' dignant over the fact that the City of Seattle recently landed diphtheretic pa tients at Douglas. It says: "When the City of Seattle left Seattle on her last trip north, Mrs. Olaf Matson and two children were among her passengers ticketed for Juneau. When out about two hours from Seattle, the youngest child, boy, died of diphtheria. His body was placed in wooden box which was put into one of the ships boats. The mother and little girl were confined in their state loom and closely guarded until they reached Douglas, when they were allowed to come ashore, "while the captain was busy landing the ship" The captain telephoned Mr. Thomas, the undertaken, to come to the wharf. The box containing the body of the child was unloaded from the ship, and the captain told Mr. Thomas to take it away as quickly as possible and bury it; that the child had died of diphtheria, and the box was lined with zinc and air tight. When questioned by the city officials who arrived later, the captain could tell nothing of the whereabouts of the woman, and although a diligent search was made, she was not found un- til the next morning, when she and the child were isolated in cabin the other side of Lawson creek. The news of the death was published in the Juneau dai lies, but after the Seattle reat1ed ketch ikan, the same papers published the statement that the agent had heard from the captain of the ship and there was absolutely no foundation for the re- port. The questions that are upper most in the minds of Douglas people are Who lied? Why was Douglas selected as dumping ground? How can the city be protected in the future, should Capt. O'Brien or some other captain see ft to repeat the dose?"
 It seems to us that the fault lies with Che customs office at the Spirit City" Ii the child died of diphtheria two hours after leaving Seattle, the malady must have been well advanced when the boy went aboafd. That being the case, 1t was the duty of the federal authorities to know it; and to quarantine the ship. It is just another case of criminal negli- gencey that are so common nowadays.
