HITS IN new MODES
HIGH-WAISTEp SKIRT AND SHORT
SLEEVE FEATURES.
Easy Way to Make over Last Years
Skirt so Il viii Be Becoming
As Well As FASH
lonabie.

There are two features In the new
spring fashions that should be CRATE
fully received. One is the high
wasted skirts; the other is the short
sleeve. We wonder what we can do
to last years skirt SO that 1t will be
becoming as we'll as fashionable. This
much we can do: we can match the
material and extend the waist by
means of a shaped belt stitched to the
skirt, that will give at least a SEM
blance of high-waisted skirt and
keep US from the necessity of adding
a separate belt with buckle.
When making the new skin for
spring and summer, II Is well to know
they will be cut from one to two
inches above the normal waistline and
that they will be fastened at the side
Of the front A four-gored pattern
will be used, which brings a wide
panel down the middle of the front
and back, which can be converted in
to box plat, II one desires.
The fastening is at the left of this
wide front panel or gore. which shows
that the habit back will be continued
in favor On white linen skirts as
we'll as those of khaki and duck, the
fastening is with buttons and button
holes, and on the cloth skirts 1t is
with glove clamps or hooks-and-eyes.
The skirts are mounted on wide in
side girdle made Of wide betting, with
slight darts at the side to fit the curve
of the figure, This girdle holds the
entire garment In place; 1t keeps the
seams in straight line and prevents
the skirt from sagging away from
the blouse. The short sleeve Is to be
very much the fashion, II the advance
styles continue in favor. 1t will not
be worn to the exclusion of the long
sleeve, for the latter Is shown on
many of the best gowns. cut to a
sharp point as far as the knuckle, and
closely fitting the arm from shoulder
to waist All the peasant waists, the
eton and bolero Jackets and many Of
the expensive wash blouses have
small straight seams that end at the
elbow. The little coats that are COM
ing IN are exceedingly jaunty and
very becoming. Straight, untitled
models are plentiful and all sorts Of
little garments that fasten with one
big button somewhere between the
throat and the waistline. One coat

Debating
TO DAISY
By MARSHALL COSGROvE

John Bleekman alternately frowned
and smiled over the letter he was
reading. Three times he ran over It
from start to finish before he laid 1t
down and gave his attention to the
mass of correspondence that lay on
the desk before him. 1t was very
different letter from the typed COM
mercial communications piled high on
the desk and the faint perfume OF the
dainty sheet of blue was like a faint
memory of Marguerite as Bleekman
liked to remember her-a flower-like
girl with eyes of the violet blue and
skin and hair as white and as yellow
as the daisy for which she was named.
Now the blue paper with the emboss-
ed daisy and the faint odor Of violets
brought her image wildly before his
mental vision.
She had been studying typewriting,
she wrote and was anxious to obtain
the experience without which 1t
seemed impossible to secure posi-
ton, land 1t is very necessary that !
should do something at once" she
concluded, because the little money
that was left after the crash is going
so dreadfully fast VIII you not let
me work in your Office for nothing for
a few weeks that may gain expert
enceT'
In the end Bleekmans smiles dis
persed the frown and he dispatched
note asking Daisy to call in the
morning ready for work. This was
against his better judgment, but 1t
was the molly way to help her and the
note brought back the memory of
that summer two years before when
winning Daisy had seemed to be the
most important thing in life, and he
had been driven from the field only
by a combination Of an ambitious
mother and princely title before
which he had fed in despair. Now
fortune, prince and mother all were
gone and she turned to him for aid.
He found her waiting for him when
he came to the Office the next morn
ing. The experiences Of the past few
months had left little imprint In her

black dress proclaimed her recent be-
reavement.

spouse. Well soon turn you out an
experienced secretary. will ask
Miss Mahoney to show you the ropes
and guess that for time you had

Daisy beamed her approval of the
suggestion. though her eyes showed
disappointment at the abrupt fashion
In which Bleekman had dismissed the
question of his departure from the
summer resort She followed the
brisk Miss Mahoney into the outer
office and presently she was installed
at desk and was busy studying the
tricks of new machine.
II was well toward evening when
Bleekman sent for her again and with
patient elaboration dictated a few
unimportant letters to her. He had
seen at glance that she never would
become reliable secretary, but she
would not accept charity, and, with
tact, he might be able to make her
think that she was earning the salary
that-had she but known twas
equal to that of Miss Mahoney, who
had spent years in acquiring speed,
and who could type score of letters
while Daisy was still puzzling over
her notes.
Bleekman had looked forward with
nervous dread to the time when he
should have to dictate, but as the days
sped by he came to count upon that
half hour at the close Of the after
noon when with Daisy's dainty sell

Collars,

The wide fiuted ruchings OF season
or so ago, which grew gradually more
and more narrow until the past winter
they were only bit of cord, have now
disappeared altogether and the new
high collars have simply fold of gold
or silver, or perhaps bit Of con
trasting material to finish them.
In the cream white collars this
touch of contrast is usually given by a
bit of black close to the throat, but
this is trying style, and a more be-
coming effect can be gained by putting
a fold of old rose chiffon or a double
fold Of tulle at the top Of the collar.
while the bit Of gold braid or silver is
also both pretty and becoming.
High collars will continue In favor
until after the spring season, but
summer will bring the collarless frock
int vogue again.

REASONED - OUT
And Found Change In Food Put
Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the
time he spends In thinking over his
business, but he seems 10th to give
the same sort of careful attention to
himself and to his health. And yet
his business would be worth little
without good health to care for 1t. A
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition, Investigating to
find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
For some years 7 had been bother
ed great deal after meals. My food
seemed to lay like lead in my stomach,
producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain. OF course
this rendered me more or less unfit
for business, and | made up my mind
that something would have to be done.
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that over-eating, filling the stomach
with indigesuble food, was responsible
for many OF the Ills that human flesh
endures, and that I was Furnishing
myself in that way-that was what
was making me so dull. heavy and UNI

Nuts food to see what 1t could do for
me.

CIRCULATION GUARANTEED.
SAFE WAS APACHE PROOF
Even When the Indians Pushed II
OF a Cliff 1t Protected the
Government Funds.

Years ago in the west, when the
government sent out safes for the
use of its army paymasters In remote
districts, II was the custom for the
paymaster in cavalry service to ride
in an ambulance with the safe, escort
ed by guard of six mounted men.
On one occasion such a guard was
attacked by large force Of Apache
Indians. Two men were killed, and
the Indians captured the ambulance
with the safe. The safe contained
about $4,000 in greenbacks. 1t
and had combination lock. Now
the Indians had never seen safe at
close quarters, but they knew that 1t
contained money.
They first pounded off the knob
with stones. under the impression
that the door could then be pried
open. Their attempt was, of course,
a failure. The next step was to try
their tomahawks on the chilled steel,
in the hope tint a hole might be cut

avail, SO they determined to try fire.
Accordingly, they gave the safe a
three-hour roasting. Luckily for the
government, 1t was fireproof. They
threw big rocks upon 1t while II was
hot, but they we're as far from the
money as ever.
Next the Apaches dragged the safe
up the side of mountain and tum-
bled It over precipice two hundred
feet high They expected, OF course,
to see 1t burst open. but the only
damage was a slight injury to one Of
the wheels. The safe was left soak
ing in the river for three or four
days, and great was the Indians dis
appointment at finding themselves
still baffied.
Then they tried gunpowder, but
knowing nothing of the art Of blast
ing, they brought about an explosion
that burned half dozen warriors
and left the safe none the worse. The
Indians worked over that safe, of and
on, for month or more, but failed
to get at the inside. Finally. in dis
gust. they left 1t in deep ravine.
Fourteen months later, when peace
came, the army found the safe. 1t
was lying In the bed of creek with
great pile of driftwood around It.
IL was a sad-looking safe, but when
opened showed its contents intact

Death Of Charlotte Chamberlin

Miss Charlotte, second daughter of
MIR. and Mrs. ChaS. l.. Chamberlin,
died on Thursday of last week, Febru-
airy I'D, from complication of troubles
brought on by an attack of measles, and
after an illness of eight days. The fu-
neral was held at the Presbyterian
church at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon of
the following day, and rarely has there
been seen in this places more general
outpouring of the people TO pay respect
to the dead. And never before has
there been seen here such an array of
beautiful floral tributes of sympathy and
love. Rev. E. P. Butler, pastor of the
church, paid beautiful tribute to the
character of the young girl, and there
were few dry eyes in the great congre-
CATION, for Charlotte Chamberlin was
favorite with all the people and the
mourning over her death is universal.
The interment was in the family lot at
Palmetto cemetery.
Charlotte Chamberlin was born in
Crescent City and was but little more
than "A years of age. She was a popu-
lar pupil in the high school, faithful
attendent at the Presbyterian Sunday
school and of the Christian Endeavor,
and there was the surety born of her
Christian character that had her life been
spared she would have developed into
noble womanhood and been blessing
to the world. Her death, just as she
was entering upon the larger life OF use
fitness and beauty and power for good,
is one of those Divine mysteries which
will puzzle the mind of man until this
mortal shall have put on immortality.
The public school was closed in or
der that the pupils might attend the fu-
neral, and the grief of these school
mates of the dead girl was most pathetic.
The stores of the place also closed
during the hours of the funeral.
Deep sympathy is felt everywhere for
the gricf-stricken parents, the brothers
and sisters of the dead girl, three of
whom were in far off Oklahoma and
unable to get here in time for the
| funeral.
