active, meaning that saloons that
were in operation before the law
went into effect will not have to sub
nit to the regulation prescribing that
no saloon shall be established within
300 feet of any church. Attorney
General Guion maintained that the
law was retroactive, but the Supreme

New Use For Old Lace shawI..

New Uss For Old Lace Snawls.
 Women lucky enough to own old lace shawls will do well to carry them to their dressmakers for transforma- 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 grandmothcrs Another attractive finish to the frock of today is an apron of lace or em- 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 princess dress. A good substitute is broad stole of lace, which at once suggests 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 well as sentimental treasures.

The Geisha Frock.

A novelty in girls garments is the geisha frock, and an extremely odd looking one it is. Fashioned from tan linen, it has a plaited skirt attached to white muslin sleeveless waist dust by way of supporp. and over 1t is blouse cut exactly on the same lines as that worn by Chinese, end ing just over the hips. The neck is cut in Dutch short square, and the sleeves are bell shape, ending at the elbows.
 The dress may be worn with n suimpe or not. as preferred. The hem of the blouse and edges of sleeves and neck are decorated with simple cm- 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 filled

The curxeleas Mode.

So insistent is the modiste on sup pressing any curves of fullness in the outline that there seems little left to remind us of the female figure.
 Garments are so planned, padded and draped that they do away with any semblance of hips, bust or shoul- ders, and the waist achieves the de- sired effect when it is conspicuous for it's absence.
 Any natural curve is done away with by pads, either arranged on the cor sage or in the dress lining. and the sil- houette produced is charming. Possi- bly, 1t is because the latest and newest Is our ideal of beauty.

A wildcat had got tbe backthresh on his other features. SO you needed a field glass to pick them out The rest of McConachie was squat shape and gorilla arms. We Sodom folks haven't got any feel ing against a mans looks if his heart is Gods little garden, but McCona. ehies wasn't.
 For ages and ages the Mammon Canfon and Sodom had known this eye-Warmer.

 One blazing noon when Sodom was scratching away at the claims and medtating on the soothing night of sevenHp at Blinkey Giles red-eye fountains. there came sudden boom from up the gorge, and the shiver of air which dynamite always pushes through the cut. This was nothing. for McConachie had way of using powder when things were slow; only, Bertie CoCttOn came in to dinner with the word that McConaehie's cabin would know the sputter of bacon no mOre-unless somebody else moved in.
