Sheath Skirts Being Designed

But of the prolonged favor of the
sheath skirt there seems to be little
doubt in the minds of the designers
All the exaggerations of this mode
and the merited criticisms of these ey.
aggerations have affected the prestige
OF the less radical sheath skirt not al
ALL
The mode too, is especially well
adapted to fall and winter purposes.
since though the sheath skirt has
been much exploited in sheer and semi
transparent materials it has won
most favorable acceptance among the
true elegantes when built up in
stuffs Opaque but wonderfully sup
pie, IN crepe de chine, satin, mesa
line, silk cachemire, etc. These
materials are, of course, all the year
round possibilities, as suitable for
autumn and winter as for summer and
the chiffon broadcloths and supple
velyets, which are particularly adapt
ed to cold weather costumes, will
also lend themselves readily to the
clinging skirt
For the walking skirt, the extreme
ly collante skirt is out of the ques-
ton, though Parisians have, while
leaving Width enough for grace in the
bottom of the short skirt, insisted
that this fullness shall fall Imply
instead of fiaring. Whatever. the
form of the early fall walking skirt,
it is sure to be closely fitted about
the hips, and the smater tailors seem
to regard with favor the gored and
semi-circular skirt models which have
found favor this summer.
The fine sheer cotton stuffs are
having a distinct triumph this sum-
mer, and the one tone colorings are
much more chic than combinations of
color, though there are charming
things of the latter genre. These
lovely cotton frocks in which Paris
ians are reveling are, of course, ex-
travagant and impractical things, for
all their air of delicate simplicity.
Fine striped lawn frocks with mere
touches of color upon the blouses are
among the dainty French morning
frocks and some importers have been
making up such frocks from French
models with great success.

New York, Aug. 11.-With gossip

midsummer frocks are still in their

But while this is true it is equally
true that there is still little buying

Gressmakers are idle, and that the

pleasure through their beauty, are
valuable rather as prophecy than as
an example

view in the smart tailoring establish

tunes has advanced in season from

so much the greater likelihood OF

RUNAWAY FOR

PATTlSON, LIKE GOODYEAR,

Democrats who bet their good
hard cash that the state of Wash
ington would not go republican by
over 10000 to 10000 can say fare
well to their money, it seems. The
landslide is gaining in momentum
as the complete returns come in,
and Taft it is indicated, will have
lead over Bryan in the state of
between 10000 and $4,000.
Cosgrove is running ahead of
Taft in places and will. probably

John Pattison, the democratic can
didate for governor, made a show
ing in his own county of Whitman,
which he lost by only Sc votes, as
against 5S4 by which the county
went against Bryan.
Present returns indicate that the
democrats failed to carry a county
in the state for president or gov

to giving an even break, Bryan
losing it by SO and Pattison by 70.

that the bathroom door had been

and then was closed again.
Suddenly Will said something

A story, strange as fiction, is told
by Sherman Kline, a well to do
farmer of Petersburg, Ind, who left
in search of faithless wife about
two weeks ago, and, posing as a
stock buyer, travelled through diff
ferent parts of Arkansas and finally
located the woman at Pinkney,
Ark, where she had taken refuge
with married sister.
The husband had given her $500
a few days before she left home,
but most of this money is in an

lost her check book, Mrs. Kline was
almost without resources when he
discovered her hiding place. She
wore good clothes when she left
home, but these had become badly
soiled in the two weeks, and he
could hardly believe she was the
same woman.
She confessed to having left
home because of her love for her
girlhood sweetheart. John Near

from marrying by her family when
she was 16. McArnold later had
married another woman and the
latter had died, leaving him a FAM
lily of children to rear. Her love for
him, she said, had caused her 20
abar don her Indiana home to join
her former sweetheart in Arkansas.
She begged her husband with tears
and kisses to return to his old
home and forget and forgive her.
This so angered Kline that he de-
cided to go to the farm o. Near
mold and "settle" with him. He
procured a horse and Icing well
supplied with cash, went to the
farm of McArnold. He tol1 him he
was a stockman and wished price
on his calves. In the course of the
conversation McArnold became
confidential with the supposed
stockman and related to him his
troubles, telling of the loss OF hts

down his face as he related the
story of his life to the man who had
come to avenge the wrong he had
done to both himself and his
family.
Disclosing his identity, Kline sud.
denly bade the man who ruined his
Indiana home farewell, returned to

wife, and, bidding her farewell,
