by Senator Jones, was that one man
had committed an outrage of some
kind. There was nothing of record
against any other member of the
troops. The commanding officer re-
ported that the discipline among the
men had been unusually good. The
President rightly insisted that the
culprit be ferreted out and punished
but fatty declined to allow the
scores Of innocent men to suffer dis
grace because of the act Of a single
Individual for whose conduct they
were in no wise responsible. The
troops will remain where they are,
thanks to the broad judicial spirit
of the President who Is never car
rled away by momentary, passion,
and cannot be swerved from the
path of equal and exact justice by the
preJudiced notions of q bourbon
community. Once let this moving

Washington, d. c., Jnue 15-The
appointment Of DR.. William ID.
Crum, of Charleston, S. c., as Min
lister Of Liberia, to succeed Rev.

surprise, touching this particular

STYLES in handkerchiefs have changed this
season. as have the more important details
Of women's wardrobes and the new designs
and colorings In these small accessories are
fascinating.
To begin with, almost without exception
all the new handkerchicfs display touch
OF color. the exceptions are the lace
trimmed kerchlefs that are costly.
The cheaper lace hsndkerchiefs are given
a touch of color, even though 1t may be
only a cluster Of tiny dots worked in each
corner. or a single letter that appears in
one corner
Another new feature is the narrow hem.
No up-to-date handkerchief shows hem
wider than one-quarter inch, and some are
even narrower.
The smartest design for morning wear or
with any tailored suit is white, with a
narrow hemstitehed edge enclosing a band
of solid color In a deep shade. For in
stance dark brown, dark old rose, deep
watermelon pink, dark wistaria- apple
green. etc. And. as the bands are from
one to two inches WIDE. such handkerchiefs
will be conspicuous detail OF the toilet.
For that reason alone It will be wise to
choose these accessories either to match
or harmonize with the gown with which
they will be worn.
No less assertive in regard TO coloring
are the handkerchiefs for afternoon, for
although the tones are lighter than those
used for the bands. three and sometimes
four colorings are printed on the one small
white handkerchief. In some designs the
corners will be blocks of solid color In
such tones as yellow. old rose, pale pink
and pretty shades OF bue. These form a
background for contrasting colors in such
designs as polka dots, broken bars and
/ flowers conventiohalized.
