THAW'S TRIAL NOW ON
Only Legal Excuses VIII be Ac-
cepted From Talesmen.
WILL BE HARD TO GET JURY
VIII &c Claimed That Thaw Was In
sane at Tine Of Killing But Fit
FOR Liberty Now

New York, Jan. 6.--The second trial
Of Harry K. Thaw Tor the murder of
Stanford White. the noted architect,
began this morning in the criminal
branch Of the supreme court, Justice
Bowling presiding. For the prosecu-
ton District Attorney Jerome and his
assistant, Patrick Francis Garyan, APP.
peared. The defense was represented
by Martin w Littleton, as senior
counsel with ex-Assistant District At
torney Daniel o'Reilly and A. Russell
Peabody as his aides.
A special panel Of 200 talesmen has
been drawn One hundred OF that
number were on hand when Chief
Clerh-William Penney called the roll.
Before Justice Bowling calls the
Thaw case for trial he win charge the
special supreme court grand jury
which win be sworn in for the pur-
pose Of investigating al the matters
which the district attorney has recent.
~ referred to the district attorney. Az
ter the new grand jury has adjourned
the roll of the 100 Thaw talesnen will
be called to appear before Justice
Bowling He has announced that only
legal excuses viii be accepted. All
talesmen not in possession of legal ex-
cuses will be compelled to remain
until their names have been called
and until they have been questioned
under OATH as to their qualifications to
serve ON the Thaw jury.
viii Be Hard to Get Jury.
It is expected both by the prosecu-
ton and the defense that it viii be no
easy matter to obtain a jury at this
time, because it is expected that many
talesmen will insist that they have
formed such opinions as would make
them incapable OF serving as fair and
impartial talesmen. 1t is believed that
the jury box will not be filled inside
of two weeks.
The district attorneys Office sent
out Saturday subpoenas for witnesses
who ore to be called by Mr.. Jerome.
This was done far in advance of time,
because it is believed that it will be
a long time before the first witness
viii be sworn.
The witnesses are the ones who
We're on the roof OF the Madison
Square Garden the night that Thaw
killed White. No additional witnesses
to the shooting are to be summoned,
as far as the district attorneys side
Of the case is concerned.
No witnesses have as yet been
summoned by the defense, but there
are to be many new ones. They will
all be asked to tell whether or not in
their opinion Thaw on the night of
the shooting as acting like rational
man.

Plain Blouse or Guimpe.

The plain guimpe is favorite one
for heavy lace, embroidery and ma
terials of the sort and this season is
being made both with long and with
short sleeves. This model is per-
fectly adapted to such material,
while it can also be utilized for the
blouse of silk and wool materials, in
addition to all of which it serves the
very practical purpose of making a
satisfactory foundation for tucked
lingerie materials and the like.
When used In this way the plain ma
terial can be elaborated to suit In
dividual taste before cutting, and the
plain pattern can be laid on so pro-
viding the necessary guide as to
shape. In this instance, however.
embroidered filet net is used as a
guimpe with long sleeves and the
timing is omitted. The long sleeves
are much liked just now for net and
other thin materials and are very
pretty beneath the short ones of
heavier material, but the full three
quarter sleeves gathered into bands
can be substituted whenever pre-
ferred and both are equally correct.
The blouse consists of the fitted

house may be made to add beauty tc
ones surroundings
The one here shown is built di
rectly upon the usual square well
platform of plank, this being allowed
to project some six inches all about
the house. The roof curves grace
fully out to the caves that overhans
the walls. If the doorway is on the
north side, no door need be used in
summer, but this should be in place
in winter, and the latticed windows
should then have sash fitted to
them, or one opening can be fitted
with sash and the other two covered
with board shutters.
But the most important part of
such well-house is the planting of
vines to grow gracefully over the
walls and roof. A shrub or two
planted at the base of the walls will
also add to the attractiveness of the
whole. So simple little building
ought to be within the possibilities of
the home carpenter, and having been
made by him will prove all the more
attractive-at least to the family

the hips. When frllled sleeves are
used the frills are arranged over
puff foundations and are finished
with bands at their lower edges. The
long sleeves, however, are made over
fitted Innings, which are faced to
form the cuffs.
The quantity of material used for
the medium size is three yards TWEEN

half yards thirty-two or one and one
half yards forty-four inches wide
with five-eight yard all-over lace, four
