people call him a hypocrit, 80 he
wrote up one we'll known citizen as

him pray seven blocks. He died
singing "Jesus Paid 1t Az" and we

may need them. His tombstone will

Pretty Model for Stout Women.

Recently smart model in a coat
suit was seen. 1t was made up from
the bordered goods that would be be-
coming to stout, elderly woman, pro-
vided she were not too stout.
The skirt was pleated in four groups,
with the border forming the hem, and
the coat was barely half length, cut
into four points at the lower edge,
breaking up the straight line-an ex-
cellent fashion for stout figures. This
decorative portion of the material also
trimmed the fronts of the coat, the
cuffs and the neck. The sleeves were
coat shaped.

season,s Novelty.

One of the novelties of the season is
q line OF linen just inside the revers
Of Jacket, which gives 1t clean and
neat appearance that nothing else so
small could possibly do. This Is really
= very good idea, and one that may be
carried out in many attractive ways.
For instance. II ones suit were plain
black and looked too dark for the sea
Hon. one might easily add a little line
of cerise or megneta, which would
brighten the whole and take away that
mourning look to which SO many peo-
pie object. Linen bands are especially
used on suits for girls between IL and
13 years.

John Sharp Williams has been Demo-

Mississippi legislature to succeed Sem

BUTTONS SEEN ON EVERYTHING
Must Be Acknowledged Favorite Trim
ming Of the Season.

Buttons are most favored trim
ming. They are used not only upon
tailored gowns and summer frocks,
but upon the more elaborate evening
costumes. They are ofttimes placed
the full length OF the clinging skirt
1t one side, in the center front or in
the center back. This line of buttons
Ii continuation OF the button trim
miiig upon the bodice portion, and is
one OF the little tricks employed to
give the much-desired "long-line-effect-
fect
There is ample opportunity for the
enthusiastic needlewoman to make
buttons which will prove feature of
her costume. An old-fashioned method
was to embroider upon the covered
button-mould flve-pointed star. This
requires time. but is very simple to
make. and. II the embroidery silk be
in tone darker than the covering of
the button. the effect is very hand
some.
Othere embroidered buttons have
beads introduced French knots as
sist in the decoration Of buttons.
Whole buttons are covered with SOU
fache braid.
Some buttons are slipped into little
crocheted covers of embroidery silk.
There is opportunity in the making
OF buttons to show great Individual
aty and taste.

EASY TO MAR PRETTY GARMENT
Much Depends on the Fastenlnes Be-
ing Properly Arranged.

The whole appearance of an other.
wise pretty garment may be marred
II the fastenings are carelessly or in
correctly put on There are many
garments which are too fine for hooks
and eyes and which are. in fact, fit-
ted only for tiny buttonholes and but
tons or hooks and loops. These loops
are used both for small buttons and
for hooks and are put on the collars
of lingerie blouses, on baby clothes,
and other sheer garments. When they
are to be used for buttons they are
put at the extreme edge of hem or
band and sometimes they are placed
on the underneath part of a hem
when 1t has been folded over and so
closes the opening in an invisible man.
ner They are made by arranging
loose threads of certain length to
form loop large enough for the but
ton to pass through. Use strong sew
ing cotton and fasten on by passing
the middle between the folds to the
edge of the band. Make it quite firm
by taking scanning stitch on 1t and
give 1t jerk to test 1t. Now take
stitch like a scanning one as far dis
tant from the first as the diameter
of the button, and draw the cotton in
to within three-quarters or half an
inch from the first stitch. Keep this
loop around the forefinger and make
another one by taking up the first
stitch again, which of course takes
the needle back to the right of the one
last made. Repeat this four or five
times, keeping all the loops the same
length over the finger. Let the last
stitch come on the right hand side, SO
that when the work is turned around
for the loop to face the worker 1t
becomes the left hand Holding the
work with the loop toward the body,
pass the needle under the loops with
the point toward you and pass the.
single thread to the right under the
needle. This will make purled edge
at the top of the loop. Continue this
from right to left and finish off se-
curely. Loops for hooks are made in
similar manner, but the strands are
drawn much tighter and they are
made quarter of an inch or SO from
the edge Of the hem.

 That night a vast army of workmen was at work, directed by the general himself. The king was astonished when thew told him that gigantic mirrors were heinz hung outside the city walls, hut he had faith in General WiEe's abil- ity and decided to await developments.
 Next day the enemy began to march upon the city. But when they came within a short distance of the walls and saw what seemed to be a powerful army opposing them. they were filled with dismay, for they little dreamed of such resistanee. In vain the officers urged on the men. They did not care fo risk what seemed like certain death; i; smitten with fright they broke ranks and fled in the widest confusion.
