Arthur ruminated Even to his ex-

linery fabrics, he was not so certain
with respect to the hat. Obviously,
1t was Thomas Jeferson's fault. Il
was also as obvious that as Thomas
Jefferson received but eight dollars
per week for his more or less valuable
services, upon which he was engaged
in the task of supporting heIpmeet

progeny, 1t was as possible to deduct

At this evidence OF thoughtfulness

Everybody may be pleased in the
new spring millinery. There are hats
large and hats small, but more espe-
cially hats small. There are hats soft
and collapsible, and there sre pressed
shapes. There are hats of braid on
wire frames and hats of braid on no
frames. There are hats grave and
hats gay, and there are hats expensive.
There may be hats inexpensive, but
they are hardly classed as millinery.
Here is a good place to observe and
point out that it is only in the west
one may find genteel looking hats OF
good materials at moderate prices.
This is accounted for by the fact that
the grade of intelligence of the mil
linery worker of the west is apt to be
much higher than that of the worker
On the Atlantic coast. Taste and in
telligence show in the hat. The young

Arthur looked in perpleXity from
Angelica's dirt-streaked face and be-
draggled costume to the trembling and
covering Thomas Jefferson White.
Thomas Jefferson's complexion, nor
mally rich seal brown, had for the
moment assumed the pleasing tint
peculiar to an ashen heap.
Get out Of here and finish that
work, and mind what you are about!
Won't you please sit DOWN."
The first portion of the remark was
addressed to Thomas, who departed
with commendsble promptness; the
latter, naturally in a more concila-
tory tone, to Angelica, who flung her
self into the indicated chair.
Arthur carefully surveyed Angelica
and his heart sank until he imagined
that he heard it thump against the
solcs of his patent feathers.
Angelicas purple velvet gown bore
numerous huge blotches of black; her
plume, recently n0dding in its i'm
maculate wilderness, dropped ashamed
beneath a burden Of sooty filth.
There was also dirt upon Angelica S
face and fire In Angelica's eye.
Arthur realized that this was an
occasion calling for the exercise Of
the most delicate diplomacy. His in
quiries, deity put, at length elected
a fairly coherent recital of the events

NEW STYLES IN BLOUSES
Care Should Be Used in Selecting Ma
teriai That viii Harmonize With
Wardrobe.

The introduction of color on blouses
for everyday wear is attractive. The
use Of anything but white has its disad-
vantage in that it compels the wearer
to cling to one color scheme through.
out the costume; and every woman
knows how annoying it is to find that
she only has a blue blouse clean when
She is wearing a brown suit
The way to overcome this is to
choose ones blouses rather carefully
after one has made up plan for the
summer wardrobe. If you make your
biouses now in haphazard fashion, you
may be compelled TO get suits and
hats to go with them-which is put
ting the cart before the horse
Some women keep to one color
scheme as nearly as possible through
out the season; they know that blue
and green and black, possibly. are
their chief colors, and they hold on to
these regardless Of what the Overs
and the manufacturers produce This
is the secret of really good dressing,
aad YOU will find, upon observation,
that it is the method of nearly all
the women VINO are conspicuous for
taste in clothes.
If you know your own mind quite
thoroughly in regard to the colors
you will choose for your spring and
summer suits, then 1t is quite wise
to go ahead with your blouses; but
il not, it is best to confine ones self
to the choice Of black, pin-dotted,
with white, and dark bright blue,
which goes with such quantity of
other CClOrs.
The big bands are in very good
style this year, and they are among
the chief cOlors introduced on white
materials. Golden browns, soft shades
of green, and many tones of blue are
used, as Well as cerise, pomegranate
red, and any of the new wine tones.
Pink is to be in high fashion this

ones; Killarney pink, coral, flame
and watermelon are among the tones

blouses, and it will have many ad-
herents, as it wears and washes well
and looks exceptionally attractive IN.

health and a fear that he would be un-
able to meet financial obligations, is sup

tary Of the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, who isN at the New Willard
making preliminary preparations for the
national convention of his organization,
which is to be held in this city Decefn-
Der 6, Z, and S, has rendered his resigna-
ton to the organization, to take effect at
the December meeting, having accepted
an extremely important position with the

Capt. Ellison is one of the best equipped

has learned all the ramifications of

Each application has TO be accompanied
by a fee of $500 for retail and $500 for
wholesale houses. An investigation of
the character of the proprietor of each
establishment and of the conduct of
the business house itself is made by
the police before licenses are granted
by the excise board. Until the investi-
cations are completed the establish
ments are permitted to operate under
the preceding years licenses. Yesterday
Charles c. Rogers, District tax collec-

ment of taxes, most of which were for
the sale of liquor.
To-day Is the beginning of the license

begins on April l, and the year for
