Paris, Oct. 9-The dog police of Paris have Justified their existence by the brilliant capture of "Bamboula, the Ter TOT" a notorious Apache leader. His arrest was entirely due to the intelli- gence of 'Ballon." one of the 100 Paris police dogs, and as a reward the canine "cop' was allowed to keep guard over the prisoner during the march to the police station.
 When Bamboula attempted to escape by tripping up one of the policeman escorting him, Ballon promptly seized him by the ear and held pn until the squirming Apache was once more made secure against flight

 Waists O5c

Every woman who has seen our 95c tailored linene waists has a good word for them. Material has an expensive look, and the styles resemble those in the higher grades. They have neatly tucked front. buttoning down side with small pearl buttons; something new and decidedly superior in finish and grace of outline to any other Tailored Waist at SIPS.

cry.
The 1909 lingerie frocks are marked
from those Of previous seasons by their
elaborate embroidery trimming. Never
have mia chine embroideries been so beau
tiful as those offered this year. and most
CT the white summer dresses shown In
the shops are lavishly trimmed with
these by no means cheap machine en-
broideries. Laces. If used at all. are en-
ployed rs entire deux between panels OF
embroidery or tucked lawn.
Very fine embroidery Is always effective,
especially If the pattern be open in char
AFTER like the English eyelet designs and
the lacey batiste embro!deries. The new
insertions and founcings are used In so
many clever ways on white summer
frocks that 1t is hard to pick out any
one style as prettest. charming model
is shown. and this typical 1900 embroid-
cry trimmed dress could easily be copied
by nm amateur dressmaker.
Very fine Val. lace is used In combina-
eion with the open eyelet work pattern.
and beneath the scalloped fouhcing which
forms the lower portion of the skirt Is
hem of insertion and lace which
adds much to the grace of the costume.
As in the case Of most of these little
embroidery trimmed frocks for summer
time, the waistine is rather high, and
princess, or one-piece. effect Is given by
the panel trimming. Afternoon frocks Of
embroidery, lawn or other lingerie fabrics
will eScape the ground by several inches,
especially when INTENDED for wear out of
doors.

cleaner if the right shaping is to be pre-
served.
When sashes are worn at all. they are
placed high up around the figure to sug-
gest Empire lines; that is. on all the
American-made white frocEs. As has been
said in another column, Paris costumes
begin to assume the lowered waistline,
and the two imported models shown II
today photographs hint ut this very
clearly.

we shall all be wearing frilled and
fiounced petticoats, yards wide around
the feet, and that by the same token
waist measure will be hovering-or trying
to-around the 2O-inch mark. However.
there is no sign Of this metamorphosis
now. skirts Of all the thin frocks falling
quite straight and the curve Of the hips
is emphasized US little as possible.
CollarIess Effects The Fad.
About 20 years ago there was a fancy
for collarless frocks. Round and Dutch
necks we seen everywhere, not only on
bodices of sheer materials, but on more
formal frocks of silk and like materials.
Now, once again, comes the collarless
fad, and it bids fair to Guido anything
of the kind that ever went before. In
fact, the lengths-Or rather the depths
to which the new style is already being
carried bid fair to be Its own undoing,
which is a pity. for the summer frock OF
lingerie material, and cut out Mt the top

charming.
The dotted SWISS dress is always a sat-
this fabric, If purchased in good quail
ity. wears well and launders beautifully.
Dotted swisses this year, are trimmed
with the very fine and sheer embroidery
insertions, and also-a decided innovation
with panels of net braided with white
soutache. The prettiest way to use the
dotted nets, however. is in the form of
ruffies and founces, ard now that the
ruffie is in such disfavor. the lover Of
dotted swiss will do better to set her af-
lection on fine lawn or batiste with en-
broidery trimming.
