NEW STYLE IN PETTIC0ATs
They Are Much Narrower Than Of
Old and Are Made Of Soft
Material.

Despite the fact that Dame Fashion
says the petticoat Is no longer the
mode. We still see the most adorable
models In me shops. and purchase
and wear them. too. True. they are
much narrower than the styles Of old
and are made Of soft materials. but
nevertheless they are worn by the
conservative woman at any rate.
The jersey material for the top por.
ton has scored such success that
we find It used In every grade OF
skirt. from those having nounces Of
crepe or lace to the ones of satin or
perhaps mohair, and all are beauti'
ful for the new petticoat Is brilliant

as It has not the rustic formerly so
much desired. and Its wearing quail
ties are greatly improved.
Though there Is a great deal OF talk
OF the wider skirt. women are 10th TO
sacrifice the slender lines acquired
with SO great trouble, and manufac-
turers. realizing this. have made the
new skirts no wider than two and
half yards, which width hangs grace
fully under the new fall suit.

Sheath Gowns OF White Velvet,

White velvet is much used for
sheath gowns under transparent over
dresses, and its thick. dense softness
shows charmingly through the filmy
covering. With a black Chan'illy
oyerdress such a toilet was particu
larly successful. In similar com
bination shining white satin aDpliqued
with motifs of heavy white lace took
the place of the velvet. This was
yelled with a plain black Transparent
CIV. There were jet trimmings and a
bit of pale pink was placed beneath
the yelling of the corsage. Another
success in black and white was a
long. close-hung gown of lack nous
seine de sole with tunic overdress
shaped from two long strips Of lace
insertion. These strips fell to the hem
Of the underdress, back and front. and
were lightly belted BY narrow velvet
folds fastened under motifs at each

If VIII Virgins, who is colored and
no relation of the woman of the cab
bage patch fame, had not used the
kitchen of Dug Watsons home for
bath room, he would not have splash
ed the bath water on Dug's corn
bread and sweet potatoes, and his
head would not have been the object
Of several vicious sWipes with bed
slat in Dug's hands. Dug was arrest
ed Sunday by the city police in Little
Africa, after complaint had been made
by Virgins, who showed the police
a big cash on his head another on
his neck, and a similar wound on his
arm, where he said Watson had hit
him with the aforementioned slat.
At Watson's trial on the charge of
assault in the municipal court Mon
day afternoon, Watson testified that
he had went home from work Sun
day about noon and he found Wig
gins, who had been rooming in the
house in the kitchen taking a bath.
How II All Happened.

the complaining witness at this point,
"he broke one slat ovah nah head

Frank Mcmillan, a white man, told
the court that he was near the Wat
son domicile when the trouble oc-
Cured, and that he saw Watson back
out of the kitchen door, welding a
bed slat over Virgins head, and that
