peasant" fashion, and wide ribbon
beading joining yoke and tho main
sock forming the gown. Very wide
headings are much smarter thar the
narrow sort run with baby" ribbon
which are now used only on the
cheap grades of underwear. Hand
worked headings are of course the
most desirable sort but it takes deal
of time and patience to make a yard
of such beading and very good sub
stitute may be bought in the plain
swiss embroidery bcadings which
come in various widths. All night
gown sleeves are very short-in fact
ono must cuddle the arms closely
under the. bed clothes now on winter
nights, or Jack Frost will nip one
sadly. A new French style of gown
has no sleeves at all, the big armholc
being finished only with a three inch
Irish lace edging, but the cut of tho
garment is such that tho shoulder
portion droops down over the arm,
forming--with tho edging OF lace at
the armhole-a graceful, loose sleeve
effect.
Many American women now fol-
low the French custom and wear a
chcmise under the corset, the corset
cover and drawer combination going
over Tic corset. Tic French chemisc
is short, falling just below the hip
and some oi these little garments arc
slashed up several inches at tho sides
like a mans shirt. The soft nainsook
or better still. fine batistc is used and
such 4 chcmisc is cooler, softer and
more comfortable under the corset
than a knitted ndcrvcct-unlcss one

and making the figure 1.-the, slender
and youthful The roomy proper
tions at the waist give excessive flesh
plenty Of room to distribute itself
comfortably and the bust is not
emphasized, thus giving the figure
much more youthful lines even when
the belt is a discouraging number OF
inches larger than it used to be.
Many a woman who used to ask for
namber &c inch belts now takes
length of cord with her as a measure
for the saleswoman's guidance because
she simply has not the courage to
ask for.a thirty inch belt. But bless
you, saleswomcn think nothing of
thirty inch waists nowadays-they
are so used to them!

the contrary grow iaore and more
sheer and delicate, the needlework

more substantial than the cobwebby
fabric of the garment itself
The contrast between the fragile
stuffs and heavy laccs is most cffec-
tive and the weight of tho lace drags
tho soft material into lovely clinging
lines on the figure. OF course these
fairy-line garments are anything but
durable and an untraincd lauudrcss
may reduce thousand dollar trous-
seau to ruin in no time at all; but the
absence of starch is the saving OF
such lingerie, the garments being as
limp and soft when delivered up by
the laundrcss as when first made. 1t
requires a deal Of skill to iron such
soft stufs without helpful clear
starehing and the ordinary laundress
will not bother to take the time for
such ironing, introducing a bit of
starch the moment vigilance is re-
laxed on the part of her customer.
The secret lies in having the gar

OF course these slimpsy petticoats
are very pcrishablc, but they are soft

in the corset-making art have been
taken in the past few years--cver
since Margaine Lacroix found her in
spiration for the s:raight-front corset
in the beautiful figure Of the Winged
Victory in the Louvre. Corsets now
the best corsets-are made of soft,
silky fabrics with a minimum OF bon
ing; and since the idea Of the corset is
not TO constrict the figure but simply
to maintain it in natural lines with
the least possible pressure anywhere,
very little boning is necessary. Large
waists are the fashion for once, and
the new corscts do not bother about
making the waistline tiny; they simply
aim at rcpressing too generous hips

WILD WEST SHOW
ON THE ROCKS
SHERIFF'S men HAUL AWAY INDIAN
PETES WAGONS TO SATISFY
BANDS DEMANDS.

If Indian Pete and his wild west
troupe show in Red Wing tomor-
row as sheduled, they will probab-
ly have to carry their tents in
shawl straps. Today, at the end
of a weeks exhibition, the show
has neither money nor wagons,
Sheriff Otto Langum' deputies
attached the wagons yesterday and
Indian Pete says money hasn't
played a part in the wild west
shows since the beginning of the
season.
The circus band made the final
crash when late yesterday Charles
Garrison, bandmaster, obtained a
writ of attachment to secure the
bands wages. Deputies John Wall,
Frank Johnson, James Edmunds,
Jacob Ethel and AL Montour went
to the tent to serve the writ. Gar
rison said the show owed the band,
which he manages, $500. The
deputies being compassionate, did
not want to attach more than suf-
ficient property to secure the debt.
They decided that the five vans
and the ticket wagons would about
meet the bill, so took them to a
transfer barn and guarded them all
night.
I'VE had to go to back doors in
Albert Lea and ask for sand
wicles," said one of the men. I'VE
want to stick all right, but that
carnival show across the street will
get us all for living skeletons il
someone doesn't get an idea pref
ty quick that this is a good show. "

performance. Half of the band
again stayed to see Indian Pete
through and when the money was
counted the organization had S..
Still confident, Indian Pete de-
clared he would move on to Red
Wing. He didn't know how, but
thought they would go just the
same. He had not retained an at
torney to attempt to set aside the
writ nor had he raised bond to
cover the writ. Early today his

AUGUST IS AND Is WILL Be BIG DAYS..
EVENT TO Be MADE RESERvA.
ton AFFAIR.

Timber Lake is going to cele-
brate August IS and IS, not be-
cause of the dry season, but in
spite of it. Several months ago it
was planned to do so and if the
first attempt should prove success
full, possibly make it an annual
event. Then came the dry season
and with it little hesitancy. But
in order to settle the matter def
nately and finally paper was cir
culated last week and everyone
given chance to express himself
as for or against the proposition.
There was only three or four who
advised against it and some forty
who said yes" and incidentally
subscribed between seven and eight
hundred dollars to finance the un-
dertaking. This showed the de-
termination of our people not to
let mere dry season interfere with
a celebration that had been talked
about more or less for two or three
months. The minority has bowed
to the will of the majority and
every citizen of Timber Lake, now
that the celebration has been de-
cided upon, will come up to the
scratch and do his duty in a way
that will make our first anniversa-
ry celebration big success.
Committees have been appointed
and are doing good work. We
are unable to announce the pro-
gram as yet further than to say
that Governor Vessey has promised
to be present and deliver the adj
dress the first day; that a fine band
will furnish free concerts; that two
good ball games will be played;
that in all probability a special
train will be arranged for on the
south branch, and that we want
the reservation to understand that
Timber Lake desires to be host to
the reservation people on August
IS and I6.
