Contributions amounting to 5000 have
already beben received by Capt. F. l.
Slaymaker of the Alexandria Light In
Armory Hall. That the hall will now be
modernized seems to be assured.
Capt. Slay1naker stated this morning
that following the drill Of the company
last night the enlisted men volunteered
to raise the sum of 800, and in addition
he had received SIS from three officers of
the command and 1925 in other contri-
buttons. Yesterday was the first day
that subscriptions for the project were
solicited.
According to a statement made by Capt.
Slaymaker this morning the proposed i'm
provements will cost approximately
$1,000. About one-half of this sum will
be needed at once for the work on the
first floor Of the armory. TIE company
will tonight present a petition to city
council. calling upon that body to donate
the company the remaining amount Of
money needed for the project, and the
company in turn will volunteer to vest
the title OF the property with the city, it
being now owned by the company

Milliners from all parts OF the country
are on their way TO Milwaukee. where
the annual convention of the National
M,lliners' Jobbers' Association will as

for the Wisconsin metropolis are not the
srtistes. but the business managers OF
the profession. The spring season of 1911
exceeded all previous seasons In the
sale OF millinery products in the United
States. and the millinery jobbers have
much to talk about before the midsummer
season opens.

inery business men to think about and

has become business for men, whereas
IL formerly belonged almost exclusively to
women. The man milliner arrived in the
latter part of the nineteenth century.
With the usual masculine insistence. he
is rapidly pushing women out OF his way.
Last February one OF the largest whole
sale millinery firms in the south, which
also conducts a millinery college as a
part OF its work, invited all OF its out
of-town customs to attend q course Of
instruction In bowmaking by a man mill
liner. More than two hundred women
accepted the invitation. and with awed
amazement watched the masculine artist
slash into yards OF beautiful ribbon. He
gave II dexterous turn here, a knot
there. twist in another place, and
evolved before their eyes the most mar
Vicious bows ever seen. 1t was a man
milliner who conceived the idea Of using
a sewing machine in making bows. Firm
ness Is masculine quality, and the ma
chine needle can put firmer stitches into
a mass of ribbon than any hand needle in
the same amount of time. and the mas
cuiine eye was quick to see the way to
produce the desired effects by machine
This season ribbon is especially In favor
Tor trimming. and the making of bows
has reached a fine art. The ribbon trim
med hat may now be as elaborate as any
other. although in former seasons rib

ming
Ribbon also plays a part in artificial
flower making. During the past season
there has been a great demand for roses
and other flowers manufactured by the
miiliner from ribbon from her own
counter. rather than for those furnished
by the flower factory 1t calls forth con-
siderable ingenuity to meet this demand.
Sometimes a large spray Of flowers will
be taken as ii is, excepting that ribbon
petals on the flowers will be substituted
nr a Ia syr h4
vantage of ribbon flowers Is that they
frequently enable the milliner to match
shades otherwise impossible. and the rib
bon flowers are more durable than the
others Gold and silver cloth and other
fabrics, also. are used by the modish
milliner for the handmade foliage and
flowers that have become SO much in

Constable Under Charges.

Constable A. ]. Payne Of Fairfax county
was arraigned in the police court this
morning to answer a charge of disorderly
conduct preferred by Hilman Bayliss Of
Fairfax county.
The testimony Of Mrs. Bayliss was to
the effective that he pushed her while ar
resting man wanted in Fairfax county
and that the arrest was made in front
Of Mr.. Bayliss' stand in the city market
Saturday.
Mr.. Payne said he simply placed his
hands on the man and asked him to ac-
company him to police headquarters, tell
ing him there was a warrant for his
arrest. denying the allegations made by
Mrs. Bayliss.
The court in sizing up the case told the
constable that he makes trouble frequent
ly while in Alexandria. and that hereafter
II he had warrant to be served in this
city 1t will be necessary to have one of
the city policemen to execute It,
The court acquitted the accused officer.
saying that II he had pushed Mrs. Bayliss
aside in making the arrest the act was
probably accidental.
