One more Of the many articles that are
built around a doll is most convenient
hat-pin holder. In this Instance a little
German china doll about eight inches
long was dressed with a lOng-pofuted

period as the arrangement Of her real
hair with its coronet braid
The full skirt Of thin silk was the
same length all around, and the bottom
edge was sewed TO the edge Of a card
board Of the circumference Of the skirt.
Three tiny ruffles Of the silk finished
the skirt and hid the joining TO the card
board. The distended skirt was stuffed
with curled hair. and the dainty little
creature stood with dignity at one side
Of the dressing table mirror and waited
her fate.

themselves admirably to slender girIish

costume Of checked material with trim

MILLIONAIRE WILL TRY
TO FORCE OUT TRUTH

NEW YORK. June 2s.-In a further
effort to publicly reveal the identity of
his sons slayer. Henry Dexter, 90
years old, multi-millionaire and former
president of the American News COM
pany, has brought suit in the supreme
court here against John p. Badger, an
attorney of Moline, n. Y. Mr.. Dexter
alleges that he turned over to Badger
$4,000 of the American News COM
pany's stock on Badgers representa-
ton that he knew who shot and killed
Orlando P. Dexter, on his fathers
enormous estate. Mr.. Dexter relates
that he gave this stock believing that
Badger could establish the slayer's
identity, a belief that he still enter
tains.
II don't care for the stock so
much" said Mr.. Dexter, but 1 want
to force Badger to tell what he knows
and I figure that he must now do so
or return the stock to me-"
Orlando Dexter was a victim of the
feud which had existed for many
years between the owners of great
hunting estates in the Adirondacks
and the residents of that neighbor-
hood The Dexters had prosecuted
many old-time residents for trespassing
and maintained armed guards to keep
the unwelcome out. Since Orlando
Dexter's murder, his father has had a
standing reward of 10000 for the
conviction of his slayer and has spent
a large fortune in seeking evidence.

told their story. They did not know the
name of the man and the police did not
find him from their description. Friday
afternoon the Sharp girl met DeChris on
the street She Immediately recognized
him and followed him for many blocks
before she could get a policeman to ar
rest him. As soon as an officer was found

Massey girl, who hadn't seen DeChris
since his arrest. picked him out of COLI
lection of six men lined up at the bar
racks for Identification. She recognized
him at once This morning DeChris de-
