tering down the doors the rioters en-.
tered.
Men and women struggled towards

ting down the silver fonts. Every

and firing volleys from their revolvera

Many of them became intoxicated
from looted wine and liquor and. In
famed with drink. their excitement
gave way to frenzy.
Orders we're given for soldiers Il

a NOBBY PAISLEY PATTERN

Paisley and Persian effects have
been applied to shirtwaists most
happily
The blouse made entirely of pat
termed silk in bold Paisley design
is rather trying to any but the
slenderest figure, but there are ways
of combining these silks with plain
stuff, that are very attractive. Such
q blouse is pictured here, the Paisley
pattern in tones of blue, orange and
black being combined with plain
blue satin.
Touches of much darker blue near
the white lace collar and cuffs adds
emphasis to the color scheme and
relieves the rather ornate trimming
