Bad Mems Families.

The cruel wrong of locking W.
the bread winner of the family be-
cause he can not pay fine, or of
taking all the money the family
can raise in case the fine is paid,
has just been illustrated in St
Louis. Death OF the man soon af-
ter his return from the WorkhouSe
has revealed the absolute destitu-
ton of the wife not a crumb to
eat or a coal to burn, and scarcely
a stick of furniture in the house.
The reason for the fine and impris-
Onment is immaterial, although in
this case it was abuse of the wife
The material point is that the fin
ing or impriSOning of the father and
husband always falls the most Sc
verely upon the children and wife
in its consequences.
Neither the vindication of the
majesty of the law nor the protec-
ton of society requires the perpe-
tratiOn by legal process of so griev-
Gus a wrong. The old plan of
whipping Wifebeaters and then
sending them home to behave and
support their families was more
fruitful of good, but it is idle tc
talk of rest oring it. The whipping
post has gone for good from oul
penal system Payment of wages
to persons sent to Jail, and requir
ing them to work at some suitable
occupation to earn the money, i,
the remedy for the evil. Sucl
wages should be paid to the de
pendent ones and not to the pris
OneT, except when there are no de
pendent ones and then they SHOULD
constitute a fund to give him nev
start in life when he is discharged
Filming a man whose needs ever,
dollar he can earn, or its member
can earn, is an illogical and absur,
oppression of the innocent poor an,
should be abandoned. In seekin
to punish the guilty we should b
careful not to punish the innocen
more. -WomanS National Daily.

faced with black or dark blue velvet
Black velvet might be said to be the
characteristic touch of the season.
Maline is much seen also. Shirred
maline crowns and brims are used,
and this filmy material is used to
copy the effect, markings and all of
fur. Tulle is employed in the same
way, and floral hatbrims and crown
trimmings are yelled with black tulle.

white with a touch of some vivid color

FADS AND FASHIONS

There are strings upon good many
of the bonnets. though they are the
exception rather than the rule and are
usually tied at the left side. Occa-
sionally however, one sees strings
knotted demurely under the chin and
ribbon trimming the bonnet may per-
haps be knotted on the outside of the
brim at the left side and fall in loops
and ends down over the shoulder with
out passing under the chin at all.
The ribbons of the season are SO
beautiful that the milliners have not
been able to resist using them much
upon both hats and bonnets, and the
wide taffeta backed velvet, often with
the silk facing in color contrasting
with the velvet. makes smart bows. as
do the exquisite brocades and printed
designs and one-tone colorings.
Sometimes a ladder OF prim little
velvet bows is set up the back of the
bonnet in place of a big bow, and there
are fascinating little models whose
trimming is all punched at one side in
stead of being posed on front or back.
Velvet is much used in spring mil

he fell into the hands of the law again
on the same charge. Again he was
fined and paid the assessment, the
roll he displayed indicating that he
could so the gaits for some time and
still have money to meet incidentals.
Today he got into the laws grip for
