among women.
a new evening shoe which has
already received the name of
"Peek-a-Boo" is Of delicate, fexi-
BILE leather perforated with very
giddy little figures. The stockings
show through these holes.
For neckwear the new Jabots
show a tendency to unusual length
some of them reaching to the
waist. The one-sided effects are
coming strongly into use. and the
doubleside frills are also in high
favor.
The latest craze Of the smart
woman is for flowers i'm her moto-
brougham. a vase of her favorite
blossoms is placed in socket
especially made for its reception in
the center of the glass screen be-
hind the chauffeur.
This is a season Of glittering
ornamentation, and they are beau
tifully encrusted with jewels, Civ
ing a very rich and. elegant ap-
pearance to a bonnet.
A great deal of tucking will be
seen on the dressier waists. The
tucks will be narrow and extend
around both sleeves and waist, also
run vertically on others.
The stock has lost its two points
back of the ears, and not even a
high curve is seen. The new.
stocks go straight around the neck I
just little higher at the back than
at the front.
The Robin Hood hat is the latest
shape to make it's debut. For
travelling it will divide honors with
the Prairie hat.
For house and general wear
gowns the soft wooden materials
will be used-such as cashmere,
henrietta, batiste and panama.
One of the proper materials for
evening dresses is satin in two
shades of one color.
Muffs are made of several ma
terials combined with fur. They
are immense in size, and for even
ing wear are frequently decorated
with artificial flowers.
On jabots and cravats a touch of
black appears; sometimes it is
simply a knot of black or a tiny
black satin buckle.
Moire silk is very popular for
shirt waists.

college course and later had been a
reporter in the house of representa-
tives. She admitted that her exper-
ience in prison work was confined to
a few visits to penal institutions as a
visitor and listening to discussions at
prison congresses.
She admitted that when she came
to investigate the Lansing prison she
neglected to inform the warden of her
mission, but entered the prison as a
visitor. paying the regular admission
of a dime.
She explained the discourtsey to
the warden by saying that she met an
old soldier who volunteered to show
her the way to the prison and who
wanted to go through it, saying he
had never been through. She paid his
admission and he went with her.
Gives Her Experience
She was allowed to talk freely and
said she had been told such harrow
ing tales by ex-prisoners, and the
stories had conceded SO remarkably
that she deemed an investigation
worth while.
