WHEN SHORTENING A SKIRT.
Should Always Be Done from the Bot
tom-TWo Methods That Are
Recommended.

To shorten skirt do so from the
bottom, either by making tucks or cut
ting off the number of inches from
the ground to make 1t the desired
length. When skirt is to be length
ened, do not attempt to piece 1t at the
top. One way to lengthen the skirt is
to turn 1t off evenly from the floor,
measure the difference between the
length desired and that which the
skirt has after it is trimmed evenly.
Cut piece of material twice the num-
Der of inches in width required to
make the desired length, and as many
inches around as The skirt measures.
Allow one-half inch on all seams. Join
this extra piece to the skirt proper,
with the seam on the right side. Press
1t fiat with the edge down. Turn the
added piece up on the right side.
Measure from the waist line down the
length of the skirt, and turn the bal
ance of the piece up on the right side.
Fold in half an inch at the edge, and
haste the edge over the joining. Stitch
a double row of stitching, sewing on
the applied hem, one at the extreme
edge and the other about one-quarter
of an inch from 1t. Press this fiat,
and you have trimming as well as
an added length.

the ground and the rudder and both
wings were broken.

Sorenson Is going to try 1t again. Sor-

flying machine that he had cut loose

In 1904 a California aeronaut tried 1t
three times. The first two times he
escaped injury. The third time he
was killed.
Sorenson is the towns mechanical
genius. Down at his blacksmith shop
he has been reading up for the last
five years on aeronautics and has
closely followed the experiments of
Zeppelin, the Wrights and the others
who have endeavored to conquer the
nir. For almost as many years he
has been working on models OF his
own. Last week he finished a machine
which he believed would fly.
On the afternoon of the test more
tan thousand men, women and chill
dren, some of whom had driven 80
miles across the prairies to be pres
ent, gathered on the village green be-
hind Sorenson's workshop to witness
his ascent. To accustom himself to
flights, Sorenson learned the trick OF
ballooning with parachute attachment
and for the last three years has had
engagements at neighboring fairs.
The balloon he used was inflated
with hot air. At signal it was let
loose, and Sorenson, holding the para
chute, assembled with it until he
reached the proper height Then he

INVESTIGATION

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 25.-S. r.
Clever, of Edendale, is held in Jail
today pending an investigation into
the suicide Of Fl. F.Winwood, a dep
uty employed by the Brotherhood OF
American Yeomen, who shot himself
through the head in the presence of
Olever at the King Edward Hotel
last night, after debating two letters
to Olever.
After iWnwood shot himself Olev-
er rushed from the room and sum-
mond a physician. An hour later he
was locked up, when the police start
ed to investigate the mysterious
death.
In the Jail Olever admitted that he
had written two letters for Winwood
a few minutes before the fatal shot
was fired. He claimed, however, that
me was powerless to prevent Winwood
from shooting himself.
The letter which Clever declares
Winwood dictated shortly before his
death, was addressed TO Sylvia York
Hotel" and in it Winwood declared
that he was determined to kill him
self as he "felt sick of the world"
Clever admitted that he wrote the
letter, which he claims Winwood
signed.
The officers claimed that the hand
writing which Oleyer asserted was
Winwood's was different from other
samples Of the mans chirography In
possession Of the police.
oliver explained that the difference
was due to the extreme mental strain
which his friend was laboring under
the time he was preparing to khI
himself.

Redding, Cal, Dec. 25.-A heavy
cloud of sorrow settled down upon
the white head of good old Mark
Twain today and it was a patheti-
cally sad Christmas for the man who
has brought probably more pleasure
than any other American now living
to his countrymen.
The grand old humorst, who has
sent many peals of joyous laughter
round the world, seemed to feel more
deeply today the loss of his daughter
Miss Jean Clemens, who was found
dead in a bath tub at their home
here yesterday.
If Huckleberry Finn and Tom
Sawyer could come out of the well
worn and "read-to-peces" volume
in thousands of libraries or out -of
the bright new copies, delivered last
night by Santa Claus, their services
would be in great demand, but it is
doubtful if even they could send a
ray of sunshine into the darkened
life of their creator today
