HAVE YOU SEEN
THE AUTUMN GIRL
She Will Be Minus Corsets.
Puffs and Paints and
Wear Hobble Skirts.
HAIR WILL Be PARTED
It Will be Brushed Until it Shines and
Coiled Close to Her Head-She
Will Wear Hobble Skirts.

Have you seen her? She has too
white a face; too white because. pale
though 1t is, she has made 1t paler
still with an art that is artfulness
Her eyes have painted shadows to
deepen the reflections OF her painted
tho ghts.
Her hair is parted and brushed until
1t shines like satin and is coiled close
to her head-Madonna wise, but yet
too wise, so that 1t only makes a
paradox.
Her hat is small too small. and very
chic and pulled down so far and perch
ed at just the angle that would cast
the shadow of suspicion even upon in
nocence.
OF course. she does not. but there is
no earthly reason why she should not
walk with a fine free stride; that Is
no real reason. except her too narrow
| skirt and her too buckied shoes, for
she wears no stays of any kind. The
soft brocade of her gown clings to heI
ankles and is caught ~ high above the
waist of her uncorseted figure.
| And so-have you sen her? For IL
| is thus she come to you--the Autumn
girl-walking toward you out of Au-
gust into your arms an dinto Septem-
| Der.

are certain terribly wise people, sucl
| as m!lliners and modistes, who car
see a long way ahead, particularly
1 when IT comes 10 a matter of fashion
And some of these very wise milliner
and modistes have caught glimpses o
the Autumn girl. Many of them ever
travelled all the way to Paris or vienn;
for their glimpses.
Will the Autumn girl wear puffs an,
rats and things?" l asked.
Dear no." replied the milliner VIII
had caught a glimpse.
She will not wear any false hair a
all. 1t is to be a season OF nature n
false hair, no hatpins in the hats. n
corsets. Nature, pure and simple
Except the face. The Partisan womel
are going back to the heavy white en-
amel: dead white face, with full re,
lips, but the newest thing in makeup
is the eyes. Those of the Autumn CIR
must be made shadowy and deep
! The Partisan woman rubs in a sor
of green blue powder. or powder of
brownish color about the eyes and be
meath them. Then there is the hear
blue or brown penciled line at tn
roots of the lashes.
Some women, the women with fai
pale skin. are tracing with a penci
delicate blue veins upon their lid.
, And with the empire gown cut Yer
low, the veins of the throat and breas
are also traced slightly with a blu
pencil. 1t makes the skin even NOR

And Will the Autumn girl go un

maker.

men of Paris have been uncorseted 70

the Empire period. and the real empir
gowns are not pretty over corsete

OvERCOATS WORN
BY THE.LAWYERS
Frigid Atmosphere of Court
Room Causes Judge to
Permit This.

Walls of protest arose Wednesday
morning when attorneys in the Craig
head-Brown proceeding in equity in
the circuit court arrived for the day S
session. Each one Immediately COM
planned about the frigid atmosphere of
the court room, declaring it was cold
enough to give one the grip.
The result of the complaints was
that special Judge John l.. Rupe call
ed the sheriff and ordered that the en-
gineer be instructed to get water out
of the pipes. start up a roaring hot
fire and have the court room as warm
as possible in as short time as pos
sible. Not only was John Darneli, the
engineer, instructed to get up steam
for this occasion but to see that the
rooms were warm each day.
Attorney Henry U. Johnson, who has
been ill with the grip was the first to
call the courts attention to the cond;
tions. He asked for permission to
wear his overcoat and hat until the
room was warm. which was granted
to not only him but the other counsel
Both he and T. J. Study, who glanced
at the thermometer and found it re
cording GA above, which discovery
caused him to have something to add
to the general complaint, wore their
overcoats but not their hats. For the
first hour or two the attorneys paced
up and down the floor whenever theJ
became chilled.
The proceedings on Wednesday
were conducted by the defense. Ar
examination of an expert as to the
charges by the plumbing and electri
cal company for labor consumed the
greater portion of the day. The tria
likely will take another week. The
plaintiff company is suing for settle
ment in full on a job on the Westcot,
hotel.

CONGREGATIONS To
DECIDE QUESTION
AS to Whether East Main St.
and N. 9th St. Church.
es Shall Merge.

Committees from the East Main
Street and South Eighth Street
Friends churches which met last even
ing for the purpose of considering
the proposed consolidation of the two
congregations, decided to submit the
question for final determination at the
meetings of the two churches Sunday
morning. April 9. Should only one
solidating, the merger could not be eff
fected. No recommendations will be
made by the committees.
Predictions as to what action the
two churches will take on the matter
would not be made today by any mem.
ber of the committees. There is a ia.
vorable and adverse element in both
churches and the outcome is very
much in doubt.
Such matters as what church build
ing will be used in case a union is
effected and what Improvements II
any, will be made in the edifice chosen
will not be considered until the on
solidation question is finally settled
1t is not regarded as likely, however
that anything else would be done ex
cept to deide upon the East Main
street structure and improve it to
cation and also to better adapt it tC

of a merger.

ARE TO EXHIBIT
ART OF SCHOOLS
Exhibition Will Open at Pub
lie Art Gallery on Fri
day Afternoon.

An exhibition of the more select
mural decorations of the public
schools will be opened in the public
art gallery in the high school building
On Friday. The display will include
hundred paintings, both oil and wat
er colors, prints and photographs of
famous masterpieces, the purpose be-
ing to give the students and public
generally an opportunity of seeing the
standard of art which is being at
tempted in the public schools
The purpose in purchasing pictures
has not been only to break the mono
tony of the bare walls but also to add
to the education of the students, not
alone in the art, but also in historical
aud geographical subjects. The move
ment of obtaining school gallery was
started in the public schools fourteen
years ago and since then over five
hundred exhibits have been obtained,
approximating value of $4,000.
superintendent T. A. Mott is anx-
ious that the public attend the exhibit
and see what has been accomplished.
The gallery will be open on week days
during school hours, on Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings and on Saturday
and Sunday afternoons. In referring
to the exhibit, Superintendent Mott
said: THE teachers in selecting pic
lures were guided not only with the
thought of beautifying the school
rooms but also of placing before the
pupils copies of the worlds master.
pieces" The teachers raised the funds
for the purchase of the displays by
entertainments and other means.
Committees of teachers from each OF
the ten school buildings selected ten

tive buildings for the exhibit

PLAN REMONS7RANCE
Against Proposed Easthaven
Avenue Improvements.

Work on repairing the Commons
road, running parallel to the National
road and about three quarters of a
mile north. was started Wednesday
by agents of Wayne Township Trus-
tee James Howarth.e The road will
be graveled and when the work is
completed it will be onverted into a
free county turnpike. This is to be
done in order that the proposed i'm
provement to Easthaven avenue, now
in fearful shape. under the three
mile gravel road law. may be carried
out in compliance with the law.
Easthaven avenue Is hardly passa-
BILE in bad weather. and even under
the best conditions two vehicles can
not pass each other, except in a few
places. 1t is probable that a remon-
STRANGE will be filed to the improve
ment. The street is rather thickly
settled and those agitating the re-
monstrance are doing so on the
ground that many of the residents of
the avenue cannot we'll afford to meet
the assessments for the improvement.
The estimated expense of the i'm
provement is $4,000. payable in ten
years by the issuance Of bonds. The
taxpayers of the township would bear
the brunt Of the expense. but it is fg-
ured that the improvement would not
increase the township tax rate more
than a cent.
Trustees Of Eastern Indiana hospi-
tai for the insane are strongly urging
the improvement. The highway
which is the only approach to the hos
pital. they regard as diegrace to the
Institution. -s--.-t-. -
