The copeland Hotel
Completely Des-
troyed by Fire
LONG LIST OF INJURED
Guests Are Compelled to
Make Hurried Exit in
Night Clothes.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 1.-THE Cope
land hotel, Republican headquarters
in Kansas for thirty years, burned
early this morning, the building be-
ing completely destroyed. |. L. Lam
bert Of Emporia, Kan. one of the
most prominent politicians in the
state, is missing and it is feared that
he has burned to death Nearly one
hundred guests were in the hotel,
but all others escaped with their lives,
although several sustained broken
of jumping from the upper floors.

of the Hutchinson News and F. c.
McMurry, life insurance agent OF
Kansas City, Kan, were most serious
ly injured Very few of the guests
were able to save even their clothing,
most OF them rushing for safety in
their night clothing.
The Copeland hotel was a four story
brick structure and was plentifully
supplied with fire escapes. The main
stairway was built around the elevat-
or shaft however, and the flames
shooting up the shaft soon cut off all
escape by the elevator and stairs.
Within half an hour after the fire
started the building was a mass of
ruins. The fire is thought to have
started from a defective electric light
wire. The loss is about one hundred
thousand dollars.

we'll known editor, and A. w. Smith,
of Mcpherson, Kan, member of the
legislature, were slightly injured.
Many were rescued by the firemen
with ladders and others We're taker
from the tops of adjoining buildings
where they had jumped. The ground
was covered with snow and the refu-
gees tramped barefooted and scant
lily clad to the Y. NJ. c. A. building
and to nearby stores, where the injur-
ed were cared for, including Mr..
Smith, the most seriously injured,
and who was the former department
commander of the G. A. r. of Kansas
and once a candidate for governor on
the Republican ticket. Former Gov
lernor G. w. Click was carried down
a ladder from the third story uninjur-
ed.

INCREASES RATE DISCOUNT

London, Jan. 14.-The rate discount
of the Bank of England was raised
today from IL to per cent. This

one hundred million dollars.

T7HE square Dutch neck-which does

lar feature in the ready-to-wear blouse.
It is not a low cut. but just escapes

weather comes on apace.
It is a very becoming shape that may
suffer from overpopularity. but yet may
be saved by some Of the most perfectly
crocheted neckpieces of Irish lace that
are made in the square-cut yoke pat

but are intended and used for incorpora-

Summer Petticoats

7 ASH summer Ii was the custom to
button TO the under side OF your
- lingerie petticoat a ruffie of silk.
The idea was that the skirt itself could
be quite washable. but that the ruftie,
the stiffening and the mainstay Of the
garment. could be detachable and could
therefore, be worn for several weeks
without visit to the cleaner. This
spring II so happens that the silk ruffie
is decidedly out. that madame no longer
goes r0sulng through life. On the con-
trary, her steps are stealthy and quiet
Do you remember that delightful piece
of fiction where the young and hand

uful maiden because she enters the
room softly. with no fanfare OF rus
Ting silk? That is exactly the ideal for
this summer.
But to return from the realm of fic-
ton to the petticoats for the summer
The deep embroidered ruffie Itself may
be buttoned 10 the tightly fitting upper
skirt. and then ii will not be necessary
TO throw the whole thing into the tub
The ruffie alone may make one trip to

A Yellow Note

~ARIS turned emerald green a month
ago. and then. after poking round
i among her metallic fabrics for
another color scheme. she worked up a
perfect craze for yellow. Her green
satin empire evening gown slipped into
the background when its place was
usurped by corn color and canary In
clinging fabrics. The topaz satins fairly
melted into the golden gauzes so much
affected as tunics and trimmings during
this whole period of empire fashions. We
have had the channels color. and now
among the more useful materials we
find the browns shading toward "cheve-
lure"-hair brown-with always touch
or gold in It. "Abelle." or bee, Is the
golden yellow it's name implies. The

vellowish sand color. Costume linen Is
brought to us in burnt orange and in the

are told to trim with black.

gray is another story.

OUR CORSET

An Inexpensive Corset

Is the exact word I want

SO descriptive OF the exact corset in

garment OF low price that many per-
sons are compelled to buy because Q
greater expenditure would be inconsist-
ent with the money they are making.
and not In keeping with the other ma
terials and clothes they are wearing.
This is a sensible and wholly to be
recommended economy under the cir
cumstances. A grave evil threatening
the self-supporting woman IL the desire
to indulge in all the attractions offered.
and which truly belong to those OF
larger income. Assuming that she has
justifable reasons for the purchase OF
cheap garment. let me come to tho
aid of our sensible friend who is pos
sibly just as sensitive to creature com
forts as any OF US.
There are corsets for so cents. and
some that have been reduced to even
less. The least Objectionable among the
very cheap ones are those made of the
most pliable material, with little starch
or dressing in the trimming and with
the least possible lace decoration
The safest model Is one not having
too great length above the waist line.
Never. by any chance. should too
small" corset be bought. Also. it should
be remembered that a corset that is too
large for either the stout or the thin
woman is more possible of refitting than
one that Is too tight The extra mate
rial. taken into seams and darts, may
bring the corset into the desired shape
for the figure.
If darts are required round the upper
edge, IT will be a good plan to remove
the lace until the alterations are made,
and then to sew 1T on again. Should
the stiffness be annoying to the thin
woman. she may discreetly pad the in
side to soften 1t In the most uncomfo9t-
able places. II any OF the bones are
too long. 1T will be evident after the
first or second wearing. and they should
be shipped of to gain comfort and q
softer appearance on the outside and
to save the gown from unnecessary
wear.
A fiat LAGER may be substituted for the
very large round ones that mark the
outside of the shirtwaist.
Now. I hope l have convinced few
OF the courageous ones that even IL We
are not all blessed with the elegancies
of life. little thought and some effort

will make the cheaper garments quite
bearable. think that after it has been
remade the cheap corset will be more
satisfactory to the woman OF limited in
come than the high-priced article that
no amount Of arguing could justify.

What of the Hour-G1ass Figure?

bouffant. For the present there are but
small concessions in her favor. The skirt
is the least bit fuller when made OF
sheer materials and filmy fabrics that
will in no way disturb the present
straight line. and the petticoat has
really been promised a place some time
in the future.
The wandering waist line has become
fairly permanent-just slightly higher
than the actual line-for street wear and
tub gowns. Summer materials do not
lend themselves to the high-waisted
treatment. 1t is, however. believed that
the empire gown will hold its own be-
side the incoming princess robe for the
elaborate summer gown and for even
ing occasions. distinctions being made in
favor Of either Tor personal or becoming
reasons.

Metallic Fabrics

TINE most fascinating counters In
tbs shops these days are those
! where they sell the adorable new
metallic chiffons and sauzes which have
appeared this year. The introduction
of metal into the costumes OF the pres
ent makes the difference In the RICH
ness OF their appearance. and as SUBJ
dued magniicence Is the cry Of the
day. the results are very satisfactory.
For sprirR clothes no one need have
the slightest fear in buying these new
materials. for their appearance upon
any fairly dressy material is quite
proper. ever for daytime wear. OF
course. no one would think of lavish
ing geld and silver upon any cotton
material This would be a breach Of
taste that we need not even consider In
this enlightened age.
