New Use For Old Lace ShawIs,

Women lucky enough to own old
lace shawls will do we'll to carry them
to their dressmakers for TRANSFORMED
ton into peplum draperies. Many of
these old fashioned shawls are things
of beauty. Their new use is in line
with the craze for the styles and fash
Ions of the days of our grandmothers.
Another attractive finish to the frock
Of today Is an apron of lace or en-
broidered net. which covers the front
OF the gown and Is tied behind much
in the way of the child's ordinary old
fashioned pinafore. These lace aprons
are best over a princess dress. A good
substitute Is a broad stole Of lace,
which at once suggests a use for the
broad lace scarfs many women have
put away with their treasured lace
shawls. The woman is indeed fortu-
nate who has laces and old jewelry,
for these articles at present are prac-
tical as we'll as sentimental treasures.

The Geisha Frock.

A novelty in girls garments is the
Seisha frock. and an extremely odd
looking one it is. Fashioned from tan
linen, 1t has a plated skirt attached
to q white muslin sleeveless waist
Gust by way Of support), and over it
Is a blouse cut exactly on the same
lines as that worn by a Chinese, end
ing just over the hips. The neck is
cut In q Dutch short square, and the
sleeves are bell shape, ending at the
elbows.
The dress may be worn with a
euimpe or not, as preferred. The hem
OF the blouse and edges Of sleeves and
neck are decorated with a simple en-
broidery worked in white thread.
The distinguished feature of this new
design is the addition of lingerie frill-
ing. On the lower edge at underarm
seams the blouse is cut away for about
six by four inches and the space filed
In with the frilling. There is a similar
effect given at the edges Of the bell
sleeves with q narrower frilling.

four months later, giving as the reason
for his action that it was impossible
to continue the campaign within the
bounds Of the law and laying part Of
the blame on the United States, owing
to the Platt amendment. An uprising
in Cuba followed, which ended with
the resignation Of President Palma and
the Intervention Of the United States.
In August, 1906, General Gomez was
arrested charged with conspiring

President Palma. but he denied the al

lesson in the art Of self government.
The second period Of American occu-
patton has been fruitful Of many re-
forms in administration. The Cubans
have taken to heart the experiences Of
the past In regard to the danger Of d.
visions among themselves and have
come to see more clearly that If they
are to remain Independent they must
conduct themselves so as not to be a
menace to the peace and prosperity Of
the United States, the big sister repub-
lie which exercises v Cuba q spe-
cial measure Of w~atchfulness and pro-
lection In accordance with the terms
Of the historic Plat amendment.
Judge Magoon as governor Of Cuba be-
tween the interim of the Palma and
Gomez regimes has exercised q great
degree Of tact and diplomacy and has
thus succeeded In maintaining and
strengthening the traditional friend
ship with the United States while help
ing the Cubans to learn the lessons Of
efficient and honest administration,
which they had but poorly learned be-
fore. He retires from his temporary
occupancy Of the palace at Havana
with the good wishes Of Cubans Of all

that his work has been productive of
benefit to the interests Of the whole

General Gomez Is one of those who
fought for the liberation Of the island
from Spanish rule. He participated in
two revolutions, in the first of which
he reached the rank Of major, in the
second that Of major general.
After the successful termination of
the combined Cuban and American
war against Spain he was one of the

advise as to a practical method for dis

BAD FREIGHT WRECK
Seven Cars Put in the Scrap Heap,
But No One Injured

Last Friday morning about
s o'clock as No. IS, which was
oyer due some twelve hours, was
pulling into Milbank from the
west. a bad smash.up took place
as the train approached the first
switch near the slaughter house.
Some seven cars were thrown
from the track or badly wrecked
and a number of others badly
damaged. One or two of the
cars were loaded with wheat and
the grain was piled along the
track. A car of cattle just es.
capped the smash-up. the car be-
ing uninjured except having the
coupling irons driven from their
place. A crew of men and two
engines cleared the track in time
for the 1870 passenger to get
through without much loss of
time.
