Prison for Debtors Again.

The report of a select committee on
Imprisonment for debt which was laid
on the table in the British house of
commons last month has been made
public. The present law permits i'm.
prisonment where the debtor has
means to pay and will not do it.
Charles Dickens was largely the
cause Of the change in the old laws
when poor debtors were kept in prison
hopelessly. Some now think England
went too far the other way and ask
that where the debt is for necessaries
or for damages for wrongs commit
ted, the prison should punish. Poor
people and artisans are not to suffer.

the hot dawn of an Arizona morning

Ratiste Jackets Dainty.

The terrifying popularity of the lace
coat has very nearly killed it, as the
awful results which have been
achieved in midsummer costumes by
the use of it is enough to prejudice
the most unbiased against the gar
ment.
Worn over an ankle-length frock of
bright purple or green, with a large
black hat heavily fringed with 9S-cent
''plumes," they make a picture which
must cause the gods to weep.
The lovely little batiste jackets, how
ever, worn with wonderful gowns of
the same .fairy-like fabrics, are quite
another story. 1t would be hard to
resist the appeal of one of these cut
in short-waisted fashion and gen.
erously embroidered and insertioned
with baby Irish. This is slashed in
deep points at the bottom which are
outlined with the lace. Another one

tiste, tucked horizontally and having
insertions of baby Irish and Valen-
