FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

A matron who has been accustomed to
employ the highest priced dressmakers
began to feel the pinch OF a dwindling in
come two years ago. and Immediately set
about the study OF economy. She began
properly with her private expenses. but
being young and pretty, she wanted to
keep up to her former standard of good
dressing. Expensive dressmakers were
out OF the question, OF course. and while
her wardrobe was ample and stylish, it
would not last forever without additions
and alterations.
She was rather ignorant in the art Of
needlework. but she was fortunate In the
possession Of a good machine and a
clever friend. She learned TO run the
former and from the latter secured a
knowledge OF the art OF using paper pat
terms and cutting and making simple gar
ments. She began with the easiest and
fitted them 10 a form made on the lines
Of her figure. and I must confess that
she looks as smart as ever, even though
of what she used TO spend on her ward
robe.
When she gets into difficulty she calls
upon her friend for assistance in the fit
ting Of waists and jackets and the hang
ing of skirts. but the demands are grow
ing fewer as she becomes familiar with
the secrets OF dressmaling. fancy a
good many women materially assist in
the manufacture Of their own clothing.
Paper patterns are well-nigh perfect. and
a sister. mother. or friend can do the
necessary fitting without having TO know
much OF dressmakers trade.

lively gifted in the way OF making up a
wardrobe. 1 met her at a luncheon the
other day. and every article she wore.
save shoes. hosiery, and gloves, she has
made for herself. She knits her shirts.
makes her underclothing, cuts and makes
Saiters to accompany each frOck. and
makes her frocks, coats, and hats. She
designs dainty handkerchiefs and neck
wear and girdles, sews bits OF fur into
fetching shapes, and even makes her cor
sets.
She was rich once upon a time and
bought expensive articles. and when the
necessity for retrenchment arose she
ripped up those choice garments and used
them as patterns. She prefers the cor
sets she makes by means OF an old and
costly pair 10 the cheaper ones she can
now afford. She makes petticoats Of cot
ton from a silk model that cost $45 when
new. Good fur lasts many years and can
be turned 20 many accounts, and she ha6
good supply Of It and the odds and ends
she uses in millinery. She is a picture
OF style and elegance, and nobody sees
the homemade stamp on one of her gar
ments. Did / not say that she was clever?

ANOTHER WHITE BABE
 FOUND WIT IA NEGRO

Another white child living in the house with negroes wac yesterday re- ported by Captain odom of the salva- tion Army to the city authorities. and on hIs evidence the case will be heard in the civil division of the city court on Monday morning att 10 o'clock, as an order has been issued by the court for the appearance of the negroes having the child to appear at that times rv
 The little child. which Is said to be about fourteen months old. was found to be living with negroes at 427 South Decatur street. The negroes give it's name as Robert McSheli
 With the hearing of the case on Monday Captain odom hopes that the outcome will have great bearing upon the four cases already before the court. Another line of prosecution has been adopted by the attorney hav- ing the case in charge for the Salva- tion Army and the previous cases will probably be changed if the new prosecution proves to be successful.
 Tt is hoped" said Captain odom, that the evidence which Is intro- duced in these cases now pending will so turn public sentiment that q law will be passed absolutely prohibiting such practices by white people. Ths Salvation Army intends to run down these cases and will bring them to tho attention of the public by means oi the courts as fast as they can hs discovered"

RAILROAD COMMISSION DECIDED
 FOR FAIR OFFICIALS.
President Forbes of State Fair Re- eeives Letter Stating That Roads
 May Issue Admission Tickets

st Option.
 Doubt having arisen some time ago that the railroads of the State would rot be allowed to issue tickets of ad- mission to the State Fair which Is to be held In Montgomery the coming fell, the Fair officials applied to the Railroad Commission to know the opinion of that body. A communica- ton addressed to the Commission re- ceived a favorable answer yesterday morning. The letter received by. Pres ident Forbes from the secretary of the Railroad Commission, &. P Kennedy. states that no objection will Do made of the old method of selling tickets to the fair as attached coupon to the Tsilroad ticket would be made by the commission.
 Since last April the State Fair of- fieiais have been endeavorlng to get the Railroad Commission to decide this important question. The people who come to the exhibit from dis- terce are greatly benefited. and 1t was hoped that the ald method would be sanctioned by the Commission. The petition was presented to the Commits sion at It's meeting on last Monday with the immediate result,
 All of the railroads of the State have promised the Fair officiais that a special rate will be granted during the fair week. This special rate usuaf- Iy consists og one fare plus twenty i've cents. the admission ticket to the Fair being included in the reductions which the railroad has put on for the NyeeIk'a wayetieH.

WILL RESIST RAISES
COMMISSIONER NEsBITT MAKES 4
 STATEMENT.
Alsbama Ccmnaisaion wui Appeal co interstate Commerce Commission Against the New order of
 the Railroads.

Birmingham, Aug. Especial. l-- W. D. Nesbitt, Associate nember ol the state Railroad Commission, fooay gave out a statement in reference to the resistance to be made oeroFe ns Interstats Commerce Commission to tne by the railroads south of the onio ana Potomac Rivers.
 Mir. Nesbitt eaid:
 ~ThA Alabama Commission will. De- fore the interstate Commerce tonHis- sion. resist the continuance in force of the raises made effective August fst on Classes B. c. D. F and fresh meats. from ohio and Mississippi River crossings into Alabama.
 sThe facts concerning the rates which have been in effect on these commodities in the past and the enect of these increases upon the revenues of the railroads and upon the business of consumers and merchants In Ala barna have been and are still being gathered by the commission.
 T wish to bring especially to the at- tention of manufacturers in this dis trict the proposed increase in rates from this territory into Texas. which are filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission to take effect Aug. 10 These increased rates apply on all classes and range from 10 cents per
 
 100 pounds on Glass B, averaging more than 10 per cent on all classes.
 Tt is my understanding that the in- crease in rates will seriously affect the ability of certain of our manufac- turers to sell their products In the ter ritory west of the Mississippi River. '
 The Commission would like to have any shippers fin Alabama whose busi- ness Is adversely affected comFnunicata with them and furnish such facts as they can bearing upon this situation.
 fl feel that the duty of the Alabama Commission in cases of this kind is to gather all the facts possible and De prepared to lend the assistance of its files and the time of it's members to the protection of the commerce of this state. whether domestic or interstate :. The law limits official action on our part to bringing what we consider ex- cessive or discriminatory interstate rates to the attention of the Interstate Commerce Commission, but beyond this we are ready 10 confer and cooperate with any Alabama shippers or con-. suners who may desire us to do so. It seems to ms that the proposed in- creased rates to the West demand the careful investigation of our shippers"
