In night-gowns there is little change Yoke effects are most in evidence and
 the influence of the peasant style is
 seen in the cut of the sleeve and yoke
 in enc. Much embroidery is used
 Madeira and French being easily the
 leaders. A very dainty trimming, the charm of which lies in its simplicity and sheerness, is white dotted swiss, with insets and edging of Val. Yoke5 and sleeves of this, as well as deep flounces are delightful additions to the less filmy batiste and lawn of our lin gerie
 The da" of the abnormally small waist is over. Paris has made the law and every one is following it joy cusly that the natural figure is the fashionable one. and long, supple lines with narrow hips and straight front are the results sought by the corsetiere of today. Long bones are not neces- sary to produce this figure The cor set is cut long to be sure, but it is the coutil or broc2de cleverly cut to con- fine the dimensions that gives the pliant graceful line without undue Perfect freedom is given to the chest by the low bust For out

 The same result can be obtained by having the garment cut bias on the hips. Skirt, drawers and chemise have been cleverly combined in one, and
 the result has proved very practical.
 For separate petticoats white pongee

 be highly recommended on account Of their durability and practicability They are cut without much fullness and most of them have tucked flounces. the tucks running up and down, in- stead of around, and the very smart ones show a trimming of fringe It is a very useful plan to have deep 1Ounces attached to the petticoat with pressed studs or buttons all around. One may then have a set of flounces different gowns.
 The draw string has happily van ished and we now have our under skirts cut or darted to fit the figure, pr in the case of flannel pettico2ts, which are again to the fore, mounted )n a deep yoke.

this. Flannel does not possess the
 charm of silk for these indispensable
 rest gowns, but a very satisfactory re- suit can be obtained where warmth is necessary by having the gown made of wash silk crepe, with slip lining of white cashmere. A very charming gown is of fine flannel in lavender shade. It fits well on the shoulder and falls from there in soft folds. The fastening is on the left side, the hooks being hidden by scalloped band of the material, embroidered in white, which outlines the neck and is con- tinued all the way down the front The sleeves fit as far as the elbow, where they flare showing frills of white silk underneath. A silk rope girdle confines the fullness in some semblance of figure.
 One of the new dressing-gewns spe- cially adapted to the exigencies of modern travel is called a Pullman Gown" It is made with a hood and deep shoulder cape, and is fitted with large pockets on either side. The sleeves are long and the garment put tons all the way down. Tussore IS the material used.

 appearance without interfering with
 the necessary elasticity. The Brassiere
 or boned corset-coyer has become, on
 account of the low cut bust of the
 corset, a necessity to the well dressed
 woman, who realizes that without a perfect foundation, the effect of the kandsomest gown Is spoiled. This is made in several styles. each carefully cut and ingeniously boned to give sup port to the bust, and at the same time to hold the shoulders back and add to the correct boise, given by the we'll fitting corset. It is made of strong lawn with embroidery or lace.
 Negligees in a host of styles rang ing from the imported creations in chiffon and silk, labeled tea gowns, to the simplest wrappers are being shown today. The ever popular ki- mona is still with us in silk and modi- hcations of this style in which much of the fullness is left out and fasten- ings are added in front, are user in the light woolen materials.

 A triumph of workmanship is the re- production in gold and silver of some of the rare old faces. These are some times fashioned in delicate bows in- crusted with precious stones. and the delicate workmanship often costs quite as much as the jewels.

Either the woman of fashion is de- termined that her jeweled vanities shall combine utility with ornamental beauty. or the jewellers are determined that every possible article of utility be converted into gold or silver or be- jeweled trinkets, for most of the novel, ties shown in the shops are happy combination of attractiveness and prac- tical usefulness.

Jim Franklin Dead.

James T. Franklin died at his home
in Ell Reno, Okla, Jany. 18th, 1910,
of pneumonia. He was employed by
the Rock Island railroad company as
special Deceive on trains in Oklahoma
and Texas, and report has it, made
good in that capacity.
Jim Franklin was born and raised
in Butler and became notorious for
his evil ways and associates. He
served two terms in the Missouri
Penitentiary and one in the Federal
Penitentiary for Okla. After secur-
ing his position with the rail road, it
is said he settled down, married and
was living respectable life. The Ell
Reno Democrat says of him:
Gle and his wife have lived in Ell
Reno about eight months, and were
looked upon as good citizens by all
that knew them. AS an officer in the
capacity he served he was a model,
and received high praise from his
superior officers, being faithful in all
his undertakings"

PROGRESS IN AVIATION.

The significance of the progress in
aviation is not to be found so much in
the fight Of Bleriot across the Eng
lish channel, in the successful tests Of
the Wright machine, or in the forth
coming contests at Rheims, as 1t is in
the less conspicuous events. A New
York firm advertises its ability to sup
ply aeroplanes to order In As days. An
other New York firm establishes an
aerial garage on the roof of build
ing. A Dayton may buys balloon as
a present for his 1S-year-old daughter.
These and other instances, making due
allowance for the element of fiction, in.
dictate a growing belief in the general
utility of aeroplanes and dirigible bal
looms and a growing conviction that
they are adaptable for other than mil
itary purposes. The military idea has
been dominant in all thus far attempt.
ed in aviation, but now the Wright
brothers, the most conservative of the
successful aviators, suggest the use
of aeroplanes in carrying mails, and
men Of wealth are contemplating the
possible use of the air as an exciting
recreation.

Crimes of violence on American
railroads seem to be uncommonly nu-
mereous, just now, but 1t is safe to say
that this condition will not last long.
The railroad companies are too wise.
The rewards they offer for the ar

wreckers of trains are big enough to
keep the boldest criminals in fear,

main at large. In that respect the
