OLD STYLE RETURNS
LAMBREQUINs RESTORED TO POP
uLAR FAVOR.
Fashioned in Cretonne, They Are Arts
tic and Attractive-Some Window
Draperies' in a High Degree
Effective.

Quaint lambrequins of lowered ma
terials are in again after being out for
a hundred years. They are wonder
fully attractive, too, even in rich
" furnished room, for cretonne is be-
ing made in some very artistic color
effects now
Besides the advantage of lightness
they do not require so many sets OF
sheer curtains inside. A single pair
at each window with plain, straight
side hangings of cretonne and lam
brequin to finish the top is quite
enough for any room.
Lambrequins may be straight across
the top of the window. They may be
plated or be cut in three shaped seal
lops. One quaint fashion is to dis
pense entirely with any side drapery
of cretonne. and to have the lambre-
quin form panel at each side OF the
window top. Then between the TWO
| panels have che cretonne draped In a
| festoon a little shorter than the side
| pieces on the lower edge.
For a straight across plated lam
brequin side curtains may be used or
not, but If no side draperies are used
T, then the lambrequin should be rather
deep, perhaps quarter the full length
| of the window. Much Of the effective
ness Of this window decoration de-
ponds on getting the right proportion
for the drapery Double box plalts
laid close together and having the
plaits shirred three inches below the
top will make a graceful hanging
When more fullness Is desired triple
box plaits are used, and II gathers are
not liked the plaits may be held In
place with few rows of stitching and
held to the pole or frame by under
fastenfngs.
A simpler way, which is attractive
for bedroom drapery, is to have tht
side curtains quite plain, just
width of the cretonne used for each
and across the top have deep valance
of the cretonne hung on rod with
| narrow outstanding frill to finish tn
/, top. After it is put up the create
3 fullness of the valance may be pushe'
: to the sides. Very often other curtain
t are omitted in rooms which have sasl
!, pieces or inside shutters. 1t look
' prettier, however, to hang some Thu
lace or netting the full length OF tn
9 window under the cretonne sid
t draperies.
Ruled valances are both quaint an
' effective. They differ from the abov
e only in having separate frill two
= three inches wide set on the edg
9 of the valance proper. Sometimes thi
t, frill is trimmed with braid or giml
d or the whole valance itself may haV

Exauaerated sprina Shapes.

And just as the feminine world is
congratulating itself upon the sensible
shapes of the new hats comes whole
host of freakish frames which exag-

will surely prefer them, however much
one may pray otherwise.

FOR COUNTRYS HONOR
Especial to THE TIMEs)

Springfield, Ill, Aug. 1S.-Edson Tay-
lor, better known as Rex" or Spike"
or Red" Taylor. formerly a TIMES re-
porter in Hammond and South Chicago,
with his home in Lowell, but now on
duty with Company c. First Infantry
l. n G., yesterday took a leading part
with his company in breaking up a
mob of three hundred rioters at Spring
field. Rex" being one of the biggest
men in his company, stood in the front
line of his company and it was his bay
onet that prodded the ringleader in the
back until he yelled for mercy. Once,
while on sentinel duty, some one of
the mobbers hurled a brick and struck
the gallant guard in the back. Being
himself a brick. it takes more of a
brick to put him out of commission, and
with the exception of looking whence
the missile came from he paid little
attention to the attack.

Harris and Bretsch legal prostitutes,
human vultures. and that they were
using the weak minded" police of
Gary as means of procuring exorbi-
tant fees from clients which the police
department helped them to secure. He
implicated nearly every city official in
the plot to secure graft through Harris

KID" BOLLIN COMES
TO GRIEF At GARY
Comes Near Having a Little
Springfield Trouble
of It's Own.

Gary came very near having little
day when a negro by the name of kid"
Boolin, an employe of the United States
Steel company, entered the clothing
store of Harry Caplan on Broadway,
yesterday, donned an entire outfit of
clothing, selected suitcase. packed his
old clothes in it, took gold watch
and other jewelry. demanded S. from
the merchant and when it was refused
knocked him to the floor and then ran
from the store.
AS soon as Harry Caplan could get
to his feet he ran to the door and in
formed the citizens in the vicinity of
the bold robbery and the attack to
which he had been subjected
1t was not long before there were $50
citizens who were giving chase to the
fleeing negro The capture of the black
was finally effected and he was taken
to the police station.
He Had a Narrow Escape.
Here there were some threats of a
lynching and talk of setting the Jail,
which contained the negro, on fire. The
negro barely escaped a beating in spite
lof the fact that he was under the pro-
lection of the police and for a time
there was an intense anti-negro feeling
in the city. The Gary police declared,
however, that they would take extreme
measures to prtect the life of the pris-
oner and so the crowd did not go any
farther than to make threats
The white business men of Gary have

attributed to the Gary negro.
