emptied will answer perfectly for
handkerchiefs, ribbons and gewgaws
and will continually serve to remind
the possessor of the donor.

ONE OF THE SEASONS WRAPS
New Raglan Styles Afford Compromise
for Woman Who Must Do With
One Wrap.

The woman who must make one
wrap do duty for many purposes, can
compromise happily this year on the
new raglan styles. They are neither
coat nor cape. but graceful COM
bination of BOTH
One of the best looking Of these
styles is called the Parsifal. It is cut
circular with seamless shoulders
which merge into raglan sleeves. The
neck is collarless and cut slightly
rounding.
Around the neck down each side OF
front and edging the sleeves are
braided bands of the material.
stitched bias bands or embroidered or
braided trimmings.
The wrap is cut slightly double
breasted in front and fastens just
above the bust line and at one side
of the waist with buttons and loops.
Similar buttons are put opposite on
other side of front.
BY this arrangement when the wrap
is wished for for more formal occa-
sions the upper part can be turned
back into one or two revers as pre-
ferred.

Dorotlly's Hope.

The breakfast room at Bromley
Manor was one of the smaller apart
ments chosen purposely by Lady Der
riman for its coziness and homeli-
ness; here the dogs were permitted
to race in and out through the open
windows or crouch on the mat and
sleep in the sum- Breakfast and
luncheon also were served here when
there were no guests; and here it was
that Lady Derriman was seated alone
about four days after her garden
party. She was noble-looking WON
an, with sweet, pure face bordered
by hair as white as snow, and there
was strong likeness between her
handsome son and herself.
As she turned her head her quick
ears caught the SOP ld OF wheels, and
her cheeks flushe- with the pleasure
that always came at sight OF her SON.

| fed sum every Saturday night to the
officers in the police station nearest
where they live. This money is given
to Judge DeLacey, who personally
turns it over to the dependent wives
on Monday and has a talk with the
women in the hope of restoring har-
mony in the family and making it I'M
necessary for the court to continue it's
guardianship.
Wife desertion is a felony in many
states and a misdemeanor in 9TH
ers. The usual plan is to imprison
men who violate the law, but their
Imprisonment offers no relief to the
suffering family. Therein Judge De-
lacey's plan is far superior to that
followed elsewhere. Last year he col
lected S3S,319.65, which was turned
over to the needy wives and children.
and demonstrated how effectively a
court can regulate family finances
when it stands between the wage
Garner and the saloon-keeper, forcing
the head of the family to share his
earnings with his family if he wishes
to retain his freedom.
In three years and a half the Juve-
nile Court in Washington has collect
ed nearly $91, 900 from men who had
deserted their families and were ne
glecting to provide for them. While
Judge DeLacey was collecting this
sum from men at work on the outside
and under the supervision of the court,
the government paid out only $3,S76
to wholesalers who preferred to
work in the parks and allow fifty
cents a day earned by them in excess
of their keep to be given to their
families.
1t is impossible to estimate the
amount of comfort and happiness de-
serted families have derived from the
money which Judge DeLacey has col
lected for them in his short service
at the head of the new Juvenile
Court. In addition to the actual
money collected for needy wives and
children, he has rendered valuable
service to the husbands also. In many
cases his watchfulness and advice
and care have rescued men from the
gutter and put them into regular en-
ployment. His administration of the
law has been firm, but he is a man
of warm sympathy and noble impulses

"Dope Fiends."

Pittsburg, Sept 14.-Drastic resolu-
lions tending toward legislation vital
alike to the drug trade and to the pub
lie marked the opening day of the
twelfth annual convention of the Ma
tional Retail Druggists Association,
in convention here. President G. H.
Huhen, of Minneapolis, in his address
declared war on the indiscriminate
sale of liquors in drug stores; en-
phatically announced that a reform
was demanded and that the reform
must be brought about by the pharma-
cists themselves.
Lated in the day the Ohio Pharma-
ceutical Association presented a reso-
luton protesting against the laws re-
quiring druggists to take out liquor
| license to enable them to sell whis-
key on prescription, thus Classics
the drug store as a saloon, while an
other law forbids the sale of intoxi-
eating preparations without prescrip-
ton"
The Chicago delegation demands the
change of the name of wood alcohol"
to wood naptha," that "topers may
not be led by the similarity of names
to drink the poisonous wood alcohol
instead of whiskey"
An anti-suicidal resolution recon-
mended the restriction of the sale of
carbolic acid to a mixture of one-third
each, acid, glycerine and tar water
"a preparation that may be taken by
would-be-suicides in large quantities
without causing death"-while anoth
er having for it's object the suppress
sion of the dope fiend" demanded
that proprietary medicines containing
cocaine, choral, morphine, iodine and
other drugs should be sold only upon
prescription.
Tonight was given over to the grand
ball for the thousand delegates and
their families.

HANDLING WIFE-DEsCRTERs.

In the District of Columbia the prob
lem offered by the man who viii not
support his family seems to have
been solved satisfactorily through
Judge William H. DeLacey of the
Juvenile Court.
1t was found that the Imprisonment
of men who deserted their families
and would not contribute to their
support benefited nobody. Many of
the worthless husbands preferred idle
ness in Jail to life outside, and the
wives and children were not helped
by Jail sentence. Consequently a
plan was devised whereby worthless
husbands and fathers were sent to the
work house and forced to do manual
labor in the parks for the District of
Columbia. For this service they are
paid fifty cents a day and keep and
the money is turned over to the de-
pendent family.
Prisoners who tire of working for
the government at such low wage are
paroled and permitted to work at any
useful following, turning over a speci-
