Court of Appeals Sustains
Suspension of Schoolboy.

Frankfort, KY, May Is. - The
Court of Appeals by Judge Settle,
affirmed the judgment of the
Boone Circuit Court in the case of
Waite Cross by etc. VS.. Board Of
Trustees of Walton Graded School.
Cross was suspended from the school
for his refusal to participate in the
commencement exercises. BY his
father, suit was brought to compel
the trustees to permit him to re-en-
ter school and continue his studies.
The court here says the discipline
of the school required that some sort
of punishment should have been met
ed out for this wilful act of disobe-
dience on the part of the pupil. 1t
points out that as the suit was not
brought for several months after
the suspension, there was no bar to
his entering school at the next term.

TO BE SLENDER
In Effect, is Now the Fashion
in Gowns.

10 be a la mode nowadays, clothes
must fit closely wherever it is pos
sible to take out an inch of unnecessa.
ry fitness. The corsage skirt with its
high waist line is only another in.
stance of this tendency, says the De
lineator. It's great popularity is due
to its efficiency in producing the slen.
der lines of the present figure silho-
uette. Waists have bloused very little
at the belt line for some time past,
but the corsage skirt robs them of
even the slight fulness ordinarily al
lotted them. In its present eonstruc-
ton the blouse comes down from the
shoulders in fiat, clinging lines that
follow the figure closely. Just below
the bust it meets the corsage skirt,
producing the effect of perfect
fitting costume, graceful in the ex-
IRENE. 1t is easy to see how the hap
piest results may be achieved by the
seeker after slenderness through the
medium of the corsage skirt.
To say that a Skin. has high
waistline describes it only partially.
For instance, it may be gored or cir
cular, or gored circular, or again
gored plated. 1t may be fitted in
to the figure or it may hang from its
belt in true Empire fashion. There
are so many versions of it that al
most any type ofwoman can find one
that seems to have been designed
especially for her.
One of the new corsage skirts that
has been especially we'll received has
a seam down the center front and a
mere suggestion of the rucked effect
across the front at the waistline. 1t
is not particularly suitable for wash
materials, but in panama, yelling or
pongee it is perfectly charming.
Like 50 many of the latest skirts
it has the circular shaping that sits
smoothly over the hips and flares
about the feet. The skirts with cir
cular side are not only very smart
but they are extremely pretty as
well, especially in the new stripes
and checks. Wherever it is practi-
cal the well-dressed woman will util-
ize the two, three and four.piece
circular skirts in her summer ward
robe.

The Confederate Home.

The Confederate Home Messenger,
published at Pewee Valley, gives the
following account of the Home which
will be pleasant reading to the veter-
ans who are spending their last days
there:
AS the summer months draw near
those inmates of the Home who have
friends or relatives take Through
and get out for visit. Some twenty
five left in April, but will return for
cold weather. those who havn't
friends to visit can be happy in the
assurance that there is no more COM
Portable spot in all Kentucky than is
the Confederate Home. AS one who
was travelling said, "The grounds are
more beautiful than those enjoyed by
the Queen at Windsor Castle" The
rooms beautifully clean, airy and full
of sunshine. The table abundantly
supplied with good, wholesome food;
comfortable clothing, and all the care
and attention one could need in SIGH
ness and in health. Surely this is a
privilege deserving the highest APP
probation by the Confederate Vet
Grams.
