DAINTY QUILTS OF DOWN.
Elaborate ornan,entation = Feature Of
Modern Bed Coverings.

Although the edict OF up-todate
hygienic science against the feather
bed prevents the modern woman from
enjoying the luxury of sinking into
bed OF down. yet she may at least
slumber beneath coverlet Of the soft
feathers, for despite the vogue OF
blankets the down quilt continues to
hold its own in the fashionable
boudoir.
This season an attempt is ing
made to get away from the stereo-
typed patterns of materials which
have been used for covering these
quilts for SO many seasons. II Is
doubtful whether anything will be
found prettier than the Powered
satins. sateens and silkolines. with
their huge lunches of pink, blue or
yellow blossoms and green leaves.
Plain satiIs are being used for many
OF the new quilts, one OF ivory satll
beautifully quilted being an attractive
addition to a luxurious bedroom. An
other new style of quilt has two coiors
of plain satin used for its covering, the
quilt being tufted with narrow ribbon,
The center of one quilt was OF white
brOcaded satin with a broad band OF
lavender satin quilted for a border.
The other quilt vas tutted with tiny
lavender ribbons. Another quilt was
covered in the center with white
striped silk having an oldfashioned
design of palm leaves. There was
broad basd Of blue satin for border
and outside of this a band Of the palm
leaf silk.

WAYS to Alter Skirts.

In making garments for girls It is
always important to arrange for
frightening the same.
First-One of the usual methods is
to have a series of tucks at the hem.
This Is somewhat of a trimming and
later proves convenient by letting out
the tucks, one or more. as Is required.
Second-lf the dress or skirt is
plain the hem MAY be let down and a
facing put under.
Third-N number two does not give
sufficient length. then instead OF fac.
ing when letting out the hem add an
extension hem that will give the
necessary length. being careful to
match the design II there is any in
the material. A row Of feather
stitching may be made over the Join
ing or a finishing braid may be placed
over IT,
Fourth-Several rows Of insertion
may I've set in near the bottom of the
skirt.
Fifth-For girls little older. a cir
cnlar or pointed yoke may b. put in
al the top Of the skirt.

BAILEY WINS TEXAS FIGHT.
Primaries Show Big Lead For Lone
Star Senator.


Dallas. Tex, May additional re-
States Senator Bailey over his poIiti-
cal enemies in Saturdays election for
delegates to the national convention.
His enemies concede that he has won
by approximately 10000 majority. His
campaign managers contend that the
majority will exceed $4,000. Returns
have been received from 500 voting
precincts of the 5000 precincts in the
state on these reports he has ma
jority of $4,000 These 500 precincts
are located in the more thickly settled
sections and represent approximately
one-half of the vote cast.
Next to his own success the most
gratifying feature of the result to Mr.
Bailey was that practically all the
thirty-two district delegates will be
his friends. There is but one congress
sional district, the Twelfth, where there
is any serious doubt as to the COM
plexion. Even the Dallas district, the
stronghold of the anti-Bailey men, is
for Bailey by five majority in the dis
trict convention.
Bailey's supporters say that he will
undoubtedly have a large share in
shaping the proceedings and writing
the platform at the Denver convention.
When the national convention is over,
1t is accepted as one of the incidents Of
the coming state campaign that Mr..
Bailey will jump into the fight against
Attorney General Davidson and try to
defeat him for denomination with his
bosom friend, Colonel Dick Wynn, in
the state primary election July 25.

ST. Louis, May 5.-A thunder storm
of unusual severity, accompanied by a
high wind of almost tornado velocity,
swept over this vicinity early today,
doing much damage to property, and
Indirectly causing a loss of life. A

Edgemont, ILL.,, is flooded, and many
persons were forced to take refuge on
improvised RATS. The whole area Of
lowlands known as the American Bot
toms, east of East St Louis, COM
prising thirty-five square miles, is
under water.
French Village, H., was struck by a
miniature tornado, and many houses
were unroofed. In st. Louis the wind
blew down trees, signboards, broke

extent.

Rev. Robert Reedy, pastor of the
church, is one of the victims, and has
developed one of the most severe cases
He was hurried to hospital at Des
Moines yesterday.
Cause Not Yet Established.
The cause for this sudden outbreak
is as yet unknown, altho every effort Is
being made by the health authorities
to ascertain just what might have been
eaten by the banqueters that would
cause a general Infection. Naturally
the water was first thought of, but a.
there are no other cases in town, ex-
cepting those of the banquters, or who
partook of the food, it is not believed
that the water is in any way respon-
sible.

the disease has not had a sufficient run
to cause deaths, but in another fort

never in their experience have they
encountered such widespread epi--
