THE NEW SHOE BUCKLES
Cut Steel and Rhinestone Predominant
for Decorating Evening Slipper
This Season.

Cut steel and rhinestone predomi-
nate in the shoe buckle for decorating
the evening slipper this season. In the
cut steel, which has very refined ap-
pearance, the designs are very beauti-
full The buckles made of this mate
rial seem to be the leading ones.
They are made oblong and large,
and though this is actually the choice
among the metals, there are other
sizes and other metals still available,
for though it is quite new, 1t does not
exclude any of the others that with
some are still popular.
Rhinestone buckles are favored next
TO steel and there is a wide variety of
these from which to make choice.
Small and large ornaments, square
and round ornaments. oblong and star
shaped ornaments-in fact, In the
rhinestone one can get an ornament
in almost any shape person desires.

Some Uses for Salt.

Japanese and plain straw mating
should be washed with salt and water
and rubbed dry. This keeps it SOFT
and prevents the mating becoming
brittle and cracking. Brooms soaked
in hot salt waiter wear better and will
not break off short.
Bedroom floors may be kept cool
and fresh If wiped with cloth
wrung out of strong salt water.
Black spots ON dishes and discolor
atoms on teacups may be removed by
rubbing with damp salt. Salt thrown
on any burning substance will stop
both smoke and blaze.

doubly grateful for the efforts of MILL
ners.
Garlands of plumes are used on
broad low hats. They are spotted and
fecked with color, and some are made
of layers of different shades, giving a
wonderfully irridescent effect.
On velvet turbans the use of a sin
gle plume attached at the front, and
extending toward the back in a slant
ing line, is quite evident. This line for
the plume is used on large hats as

the upturned brim of a large velvet
hat this new type Of ornament is ex-

A feather band is being used on
many large hats. Black and white
plumes are favored for these orna-
ments. They are detachable, hooking
at one side. This idea is attractive,
for change of trimming means a
change of hat.

cretonne Lamnshadea.

The very newest and prettiest thing
in home decoration is the lampshade
of shirred cretonne or lowered silk.
For these, heavy wire frames are pur-
chased, the round shape being the
best. The cretonne or silk is then
shirred tightly under this frame, and
clamped or glued to it. A narrow bor-
der of furniture gimp couceals the
joining place.
In tapestry, this variety Of lamp
shade becomes really gorgeous The
idea, of course, can be applied in any
of these materials to candleshades as
we'll.

FIRST BLOW DEALT
WOMAN TRAFFIC
MANicURiST FOUND GUILTY OF
SELLING TWO GIRLS FOR
ILLEGAL PURPOSES.
MAY GET FIVE YEARS IN PRISON
Testimony of One Of the Victims So
Impresses the Jury That Verdict
Was Rendered Against
the Woman.

New York City.-Belle Moore was
found guilty of selling two wom-
en for illegal purposes, and the first
real woman traffic conviction in New
York county was recorded before
Judge Grain. The verdict was un-
expected, as the general belief was
expressed in the court room after the
jury had retired, was that there
would be an acquttal or disagree
ment. Lawyer Karlin asked for a
week in which to prepare for a new
trial and Mr. Whitman consented to
the delay. Judge rain remanded the
defendant to the To, mbs until May 26.
Belle Moore said she was a mani
curist, married, and had one child.
She may be sentenced to states
prison for five years and fined $1,000.
Her trial before Judge Grain on the
charge of selling girls to George 8.
Miller closed unexpectedly. Alexan-
der Karlin, counsel for the defendant,
dropped a bombshell into the case
presented by Assistant Attorney
Press, by calling as witnesses for the
defense, Alice Milton and Belle Wood,
the girls said to have been sold. The
prosecution had closed it's case with
out calling either girl.
Alice Milton is the girl who, it is
said, wept when she consented to go
to Seattle to live in an illegal resort
because she had to leave her Teddy
Bear behind. The witness said her
last address was 1877 West Forty.first
street.
Where are you living now?" said
Mr.. Karlin.
"At the Magdalen Home"
She admitted that she had been
living in illegal resorts several years.
IL never saw" said the witness,
'or heard of Belle Moore until April
26, when white girl took me to the
defendants home. There l was in
troduced to man, who said he was
Dick Morris, owner of illegal resorts
in Seattle. That night he came to
Mrs. Palmer's house in Forty-first
street, which is an illegal resort, and
met Belle Wood. He was with us
about an hour. He asked us If we
would go to Seattle and we agreed to
go. We agreed to meet Dick Morris
at Belle Moore's house the next day
and went there"
"The first time you saw Morris, did
you agree to go to Seattle with him?"
81 did"
This testimony made an impress
sion on the jury, as it tended to show
that George A. Miller, under the name
of Morris, negotiated with the girls
before the meeting at Belle Moore's
house April 81
