Billings Saturday, but Mr.. Foster

anything he wants and by votes Of Eve

St. Paul, Sept. 3.-Judge Vandevent.
er. in the United States court, grant
ed the Injunction required BY the
Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern
and three other railroads operating in
Arkansas, against the Arkansas rail-
way commission. The in1u1c.,on re-
strains the commission from euf. re-
ing the new two cent far, law and
from interfering with tbs railroaas in
raising their freight rates or inter
state traffic. "A ss.si.
In an oral decision the court held
that the testimony in the present hear
ing had demonstrated to him that the
rates proposed by the Arkansas rail-
way commission were unreasonable:
non-compensatory and unlawful and
could not be enforced against the rail-
roads.
The court directed that each defend-
ant gives bond which probably will
be about 100000 each. that they
would keep a distinct and accurate
account, showing the difference be-
tween the tariff charges Of the road
and what would have been charged IL
the rates had been applied.
Explaining the order, Judge Van
deventer held that the law OF con-
gress should take precedence over the
laws Of Arkansas in rate matters,
where the intrastate regulations Inn
plunged on the Interstate regulations.
The court made a condition to his.
order that If any individual or passen-
ger suffered by reason Of the rates to
be applied during the pendency Of the
order. and if on final hearing the or
der should be set aside, the penalties
for violation prescribed by the law
might be enforced as If no injunction
had been issued and due reparation
made. The enforcement Of these PEN
alties, however, should not cover a
period preceding the beginning Of this
action. 5l

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

The whole appearance of an other
wise pretty garment may be marred
If 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 it has been folded over and so
closes the opening in an invisible man
ner. They are made by arranging
loose threads of a 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 a scanning stitch on it and
give it a jerk to test it. Now take a
otitSh iihC d ScdIlluS Out DIS ldT us
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 it
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 a purled edge
at the top of the loop. Continue this
from right to left and finish off Sc
curely. Loops for hooks are made in
a similar manner, but the strands are
drawn much tighter and they are
made a quarter of an inch or SO from
the edge of the hem

Seasons Novelty.

One OF the novelties of the season is
a line of linen just inside the revers
OF a jacket, which gives 1t clean and
neat appearance that nothing else so
small could possibly do. This is really
a very good idea, and one that may be
carried out in many attractive ways.
For instance, If ones suit were plain
black and looked too dark for the sea-
son, one might easily add little line
of cerise or megneta, which would
brighten the whole and take away that
mourning look to which so many peo-
Pile object. Linen bands are especially
used on suits for girls between IL and
l3 years.

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
at one side, in the center front or in
the center back. This line of buttons
Is continuation of the button trim
ming upon the bodice portion, and is
one of the little tricks employed to
give the much-desired 'long-line-effect
feet.
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 five-pointed star. This
requires time, but is very simple to
make, and, if 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
tache braid
Some buttons are slipped into little
crocheted covers of embroidery silk.
There is opportunity in the making
of buttons to show great individual
ity and taste.

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 a 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

Fancy Blouse Waist.

The pretty fancy blouse waist is
the one most in demand at the mo-
ment both for the entire gown and
for the odd blouse. This one is adapt.
ed to both purposes and would be
exceedingly charming made from any
of the fashionable thin materials. In
the illustration crepe de Chine Is
combined with chemisette of lace and
is trimmed with heavy applique, while
the sleeves are finished with dainty
little bands and frills of Valenciennes
lace. The blouse, however, would be
charming in louisine, in wolfe, in mar
uuisette, in chiffon and all similar
materials and also in the fashionable
flet and embroidered nets. The soft
folds produced by the fullness at the
shoulders render it peculiarly well
ADAPTED to these last and the model
is altogether a most satisfactory one.
There are the big arm-holes suggest
i've of Mandarin styles, yet which are
by no mean clumsy or exaggerated.
while the sleeves can be made either
in the pretty three-quarter or full
length. Altogether the blouse gives
an effect of extreme dressiness and
charm, while it is simple, involving
very little labor in the making.
The blouse is made over a plain
