Nem Txpe of Goyvn.

Pretty semi-evening gowns. called Ibroad casino gowns. are being worn with but slight decolletage and trans parent guimpes of tulle or mousseline. The materials used on gowns of this type are embroideries. laces or crepe de chimes, for satin seems to be some what passe. Many of them are trim med with deep silk fringe. and. as the guimpe is always collarless. beautiful dog collars of jeweled velvet or jet are worn. so that the gown may be be- coming with a hat. Somehow a col larless gown and a picture hat are not always a pretty combination.

The designers make no secret now of the fact that they are making a strong endeavor to launch the short gown of Restoration days. Even we'd ding gowns of splendid satin and point lace clear the floor; not all of them, of course; no fashion Is abso- lute, and few new ones are anything but experimental. Evening frocks in all degrees of formality and in the costliest fabrics clear the floor These are not permissible for the woman over 45, but they will be suggested to all debutantes and young matrons. Just how far the style will be accept ed it Is hard to tell. Many women, especially those who are fond of danc- ing, will be only too delighted to ac- cept It. Dignity and elegance can not be claimed for it, but it holds the blue ribbon of comfort, and that goes far toward its general acceptance. Both skirts to suits and one-piece frocks under top coats, for street year, are generally accepted There is no sign of going back to the trailing direc- toire street skirts of last year. The tailors are busy cutting of hens. Their customers are only too glad to have the fashion change. One year was enough of It.

Why Women Do Not Marry.


 It is possible that the woman never ived who was born without the in- st4nct of romantic love and its less TO- mantle sequels. but the sharpened in effects of the modern female teach her to observe not only that indulgence in the primitive blessings Is often pro- ductive of tame happiness at best. put that 1t Is mere chance if she does not waste several years of her active youth for some man to exert hls in- alienable right to woo and propose.
 A man may trample down barriers. make opportunities. persist. over whelm, but a woman. with double the fascination and intelligence. must eith- sr stoop to contemptible scheming or proudly bide her time. as likely as not to miss her one chance of happiness because circumstances do not give her the opportunity to reveal herself to the kindred spirit.
 If she cannot pursue man as man pursues a woman when he wants her, if she has not the supreme at fractions which bring a man to a wom- ans feet with a flash of the eye, she can at least avoid the mean subter- fuges of the husband-hunters, and lead life in which a man as a love fac tor is practically eliminated. She can also enjoy much the same privileges as men, until. Derhaps-who knowS?-one day she may meet in this larger. fuller life a congenial. many-sided creature who wants something more than rs production of his grandmother.

The Way They Crash Upon the Nor maI Quiet of the City.
 With all the water traffic and with not a horse or a cab or a wagon to wake the echoes, the utter silence of Venice Is the thing that first impress es the traveller.

The bells of the churches proba' bly, do not ring louder nor more ire quently than they ring in other cities, yet because Venice Is so still these bells clang through the night like the alarm of a continuous and ever in- creasing fire.

Fur bands appear everywhere on women's apparel. They are seen in tiny lines on dancing frocks and on heavy Russian hats and cloaks. A charming set seen recently was a scarf, short and 12 inches wide. and a hat trimmed with a band of the fur The scarf was worn softly folded over the shoulders and gathered into buckles at the bust. The moire colo nial hat had the edges .softened by a generous band of the fur and little ;ockades of ribbon on either side.

For Greater Warmth.

Capes are cold things when worn in winter. but being fashionable they are popular in spite of colds and coughs. Here is a hint for making them more comfortable:
 Make pair of loose sleeves of silk the color of lining or outside of cape, as preferred. The latter is more serv- iceable. Wad we'll. finish on top and bottom and attach to the cape with a ribbon or elastic.
 To adjust sleeves put them on, throw cape over them and tack near shoul- der line. Fake care that they do not pull the cape out of shape.

Shall Smiling Be Made MnndatOrys
 Is there no peace in the world for the person of serious mien? Must one smile. smile. smile from morning till night whether one feels like it or not.
 Faddists say the dinner table joke is the best aid to digestion and pro- notes domestic peace. When Gull care intrudes. laugh it away. If your neigh Dor flies to wrath because your cocker spaniel chases his fowls, dissolve his anger with smile. In short, keep on smiling.
 And now comes a new social dis ease which this panacean smile is guaranteed to cure. As if man had not already crystallized his features into a perpetual grin, he is now ad- vised to smile to prevent his commit ting suicide! This new doctrine is ad- vocated by writer in a medical pub lication. Play, smile and don't kill yourself" is the slogan in brief.
 Let us harbor still kind thought for the person who refuses to smile at society's behest. Not that any one would discourage smiling; merely let us not make the rule mandatory. At least. permit us some little opinion as to when and how much we shall smile Cleveland Plain Dealer.

FATAL Shooting
AT RENFROW.
Ohio bounty Has Another
Killing Added to List.
Examining Trial Of Joe Wilson
Results In Release By
Judge Wedding.
No.. >

Ohio County on last Friday had an
ether killing added to its al
ready long list. The horrible
affair occurred at Renfrom and
resulted in the death of Mon
roe Struggled at the hands of
Joe Wilson. The facts developed at
the examining trial held before Judge
r. r. Wedding Tuesday were that a
standing feud had existed between
the two men for sometime, which
arose over a dispute about some land
and also about depredations of some
stock belonging to Struggled, which
Wilson claimed had been getting into
his premises. At the time of the
fatal meeting Struggled was in the
rear of Crowders Store at Renfrow
seated on the counter, when Wilson
came in armed with double barrel
shot gun and accosted Struggled
about the stock and they engaged in a
quarrel during which bitter words were
passed by both men, when Wilson drew
his shot gun and fired, the contents
entering Srtingfield's body near the
stomach, killing him instantly. Only
two witnesses were present, Mr.. Lon
Crowder and Mr.. Fletcher Morris.
They told very mach the same story,
one testified however that he did not
see either of The men when the shot
was fired. but both heard Wilson say
don't draw your gun on me and one
of them testified that Struggled stood
down from the counter and let his left
hand drop back toward his hip peck
ct just previous to the shooting. A
revolver was found in String
fields right hip pocket, the
trigger spring being broken which
prevented it from working ex-
cept with difficulty. There was
no testimony tending to show that
Springfield ever drew his pistol and
testimony was to the effect that Will

them then in order to convince tn,
public that the principles and poll
cies of the Republicans were higher
and nobler than those of our oppo-
nents. This platform was adopted
three years after the outrageous ger
rymaner of the Second Appellate Dis
trict by a Democratic Legislature for
partisan purposes, which shows more
clearly the splendid craftsmanship
and patriotism of our party in rising
above the petty craftsmanship of our
opponents. 1t is not the purpose of
the Republican party to retaliate in

patriotic and high moral purposes

against the outrageous gerrymander
of the district for party purposes was
the animus back of those who insist
ed on making a nomination as a pro-
test against Democratic partisanship
in relation to Judicial positions. This
was intensified by the infamous con-
duct of the Louisville Democracy in
forcing from the bench one of the
best and most fearless Judges the Court

voters on any non-partisan or high

appeal to Republicans because of their

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
THE GIRL WHO HAS CHARMS.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
We have all OF us heard Of the girl
without charm. Maggie wylie was one.
Barries, oh-yes. ! had nearly written
charming, heroine. You remember what
Maggie said when her brother asked:
Maggie what is this thing charm. ex-
actly?" and Maggie replied "Oh, it's a
kind OF bloom on a woman. II you have
it you don't need anything else. not even
education. and II you don't have It. it
doesn't matter what else you have. Some
women, the few. have charm for all. and
most have charm for one. and some have
charm for none"
And poor Maggie thought she came I'M
der this last category. Yet it was not so,
and II is said that she is Of all Barrie's
lovable women the most lovable. Now
there are Maggie Wylies all over the
world. We have all met them-sweet,
lovable. and really charming women.
who do not know their own charm. Mag
gle didn't. You know the kind OF woman
I mean. Barrie knew when he etched
in Magg.v's picture so artistically. The
girl who. like Grzel, another of his
heroines, was very .ood at loving.
Now the world wants more OF these
women-women who are not necessarily
pretty, who never will be lovely, but
who, nevertheless, are very good at
loving" Maggie was such.
Maybe. some girl is now saying TO her
self: Yes. that's me. I'm like Mag
gle" or maybe another reader Is saying,
''Why, that's like so-and-so. she doesn't
believe she has any charm" Well. II
you're the first OF these girls. just take
heart. Maggie had more charm than she
knew So have you perhaps. And II
you're the one who knows a girl Just
like that" then you play the part of
good Samaritan to that girl and tell her
that she's charming. Perhaps she won't
believe you at first. Those shy girls
seldom do when anything like that is
said TO them The old song is very true.
"Everybory's Loved by Someone" it's
only another way Of saying that there's
a bit Of divinity in each Of US.
Only the other day know a girl was
absolutely astonished when another
woman said TO her, Miss So-and-So
thinks you are pretty. She said. What a
pretty little thing she Is. =" Pretty
gasped the girl who had always thought
herself plain Yes She said she liked
your eyes so much" That word Of gen.
uine appreciation. coming secondhand
though it did, was like a tonic TO the
girl. She went and looked at herself
in the glass to see If it could anyhow
be true and then she thanked God that
she wasn't unsghtly to her fellow-human
beings after all
So II you know any girls who are shy
and unhappy and sensitive. who really
are charming or pretty. or lovable, and
don't know it-just give yourself the
pleasure OF making them know It. They
will value It more from you than from a
man; it's always more likely 10 be SIM
cere from a woman. The same thing
applies to work. We have heard OF the
employer who never praises. He doesn't
deserve &c get ths best out Of his en-
Ployes.
