PICKPOCKETS CAUGHT

Policeman Arrests One Thief on
Platform and Finds Other

Herbert S. Allen and John B. In
graham, pair of hashily dressed east
ern dips" were seen picking pockets
on a Sutter street car last night and
are now lodged at the city prison, and
will be kept on the detinue book until
their records in the east have been in
vestigated.
Jerry Dwyer, the arresting officer,
was riding on the inbound Sutter street
car when he noticed the pair acting in
a suspicious manner. Soon he saw
them extract a purse from the pocket
Of Albert Menerie, one of the passen-
gers, and make for the front door of
the car. He leaped on to the platform
and grappled with the thieves, but one
Of them made his escape while Dwyer
was Handwriting the other, who was
taken to the city prison, where he gave
the name Of John B. Ingraham.
Returning to Fillmore street, Dwyer
came upon the second thief "parading
the line and had the handouts on him
before he knew 1t.
Albert Menerie. the victim, who lives
at 1910 Post street, had been robbed of
s6.S5, and the money was found on the
persons of the thieves.

a fabric will be likely to pull in the
stitching, whether 1t will stretch,
whether there is an up or down or
right or wrong side to the great va
riety of materials used. There are so
many new weaves constantly appear
ing that it is difficult to keep up with
them.
1t must be remembered that fashion
drawing is entirely distinct from de-
signing. although most people seem to
confound the two. There are a large
number of houses which employ fash
ion artists. dry goods firms. fashion
book publishers and private persons.
For catalogue work the garments are
given to the artist and she draws the
figures in a pose that will exhibit the
garments in question to the best ad-
vantage. A tea gown, for instance,
will be posed to suggest rest and re-
pose, and necessarily a collar and a
tie will not be suggested as a finish to
a lingerie waist, nor will a stiff coiffure
appear above a decollete gown.
What is generally expected from a
designer is that she shall take the
creation of a great artist and originate
adaptations from it. She should know
how to adapt the one style into a
dozen or more different effects.

TO RULE KITCHENS
Mrs. w. A. Sheridan Says Sue
cess in Homes Must Precede
Political Recognition
Chicago Lecturer Causes Con-
flict in Minds of California
Club Members

Does the clubwomans responsibility
begin in her kitchen?
Should she heed the criticism of her
butcher and the plumber? Does a man
Judge women by his wife or by his
stenographer?
There is a conflict in the minds of
women at the California club since
Mrs. w. A. Sheridan of Chicago talked
to them yesterday Of The Clubwoman
Responsibilities" Mrs. Sheridan said
that she once had the honor or knowing
a plumber in an eastern state VINO ap-
proved of clubwomen because, wnlle
they were at clubs their sinks were
neglected and this provided work for
his willing hands Mrs. Sheridan also
knew a butcher who approved OF club
women because while they were doing
clubwork the maids did the ordering OF
the daily supplies and the butcher grew
rich.
"Of course" said Mrs. Sheridan, that
was far away from here, and only the
opinion Of one butcher and one plumber
Mrs. Sheridan thinks that the duty or
clubwomen narrows down to the 1ndl-
vidual and that while women are ac-
cused of being spasmodic. there is no
hope for suffrage. She thinks that the
woman of today has a solemn response
bility in preparing the young woman
voter. and she says that women must
show continuity of purpose in the
kitchen and in the nursery before men
will take them seriously in the world Of
politics.
Women are accused of being spas
modic, and we want continuity instead
of upheaval" she explained.
Mrs. Sheridan thinks that the time is
coming when there will be a radical
change in the questions asked by the
census man. She thinks that the new
order of Investigations will be some
what as follows:
Are you clubwoman?"
ITO what club do you belong?"
How long have you been a club
woman?"
"Of what character Is the club to
which you belong?'
Mrs. Sheridan complimented the Call
fornia club upon It's excellent standing
as a club and in an intelligent address
explained the purpose of the club in
this altruistic age.
