Taffeta promises to be worn both within
doors and upon the street and is one of
the few materials that can be made into a
complete three-piece costume. A most
fascinating one that has Just reached
these shores consists of a semi-princesse
gown of striped taffeta in quaint effect
with little coatee Of plain color that is
finished with an embroidered muslin
collar and cuffs. All the materials belong
one to another and harmonic to pehec-
ton. The gown makes a charming one
for any afternoon occasion, for the bridge
luncheon and for all the needs Of the kind,
while the coat slipped over II renders it
adapted to street use. All sorts Of big
collars, hchus and garnitures Of the sort
are to be worn. Even those designers who
at first put forth the practically plain taf-
feta suit have come to realize that such
are not entirely successful, and the latest
models are finished with big collars Of
soft lace and with turned-over cuffs or
frills Of lace completing the sleeves. 1t
is astonishing what a transformation the
addition has, for suits 20 treated become
delightfully."- youthful in effect and alto
gether attractive. when the sun finally

truly and wisely been said by one Of the
greatest students Of dress that the world
has ever known that taste and distinction
are the same the world over We talk
about French fashions adapted to Amer
lean needs, about the styles Of this country
and Of that, but really fashions are world
wide today and the same rules apply to
all the civilized nations Of the earth. Il Is
not question Of what is adapted to the
French women, what suits the American
and what belongs to the English by
natural right, but what each woman can
wear to appear at her best and how pre-
vailing fashions must be handled to bring
about that result.
Big square collars in the sailor or
modified sailor shapes are being much
used on girls coats. Very heavy laces
such as Macremee and the various cro-
cheted sorts are fashionable and always
handsome, but there are also shown COZ
lars OF the thinnest possible muslin such
as batiste and lawn embroidered. Both
the white and the ecru tones are used and

the results are extremely charming.
Punched work is being much used IN
various ways Just now and many collars
show that effect. Very pretty ones Of

TROCKS designed for the younger con-
ungent are marvelously attractive
this season. The lines are all becom-
ing and simple and the dresses altogether
youthful and attractive. In the ilmstra-
uon are shown some excellent models.
The little blouse costume is made
Of tan colored linen trimmed with black
and white striped. The combination is a
smart one and both style and materials
excellent, but dresses such as this will be
extensively worn throughout the entire
season and they can with perfect propriety
be made from linen, pique, cotton poplin
and the like and also from the thinner
lawns and batistes. with any suitable con-
trasting material for collar and cuffs. The
blouse is in true MILDLY style with slight
opening at the front and drawn on over
the head, and the straight skirt is plated
and joined to an underbody. Just as illus
trated the costume is desirable from al
most every point of view, but a great
many girls may prefer the blouse drawn up
at the waist line and it can be finished in
that way If preferred. Also the sleeves
can be made long.
Long wasted frocks are always pretty
dainty and attractive. The body portion
is tucked and the straight skirt is gath
cred. 1t can be made with square neck
and three-quarter sleeves as illustrated or
with high neck with either shorter or
longer sleeves.
There is no feature of fashionable dress
that is more becoming to the school girls
than the bretelles that are so extensively
worn. The pretty little dress shows such
and IS in every way attractive. 1t is
adapted to a great many different occa-
sions and it can be made from batiste
with trimming of lace, as in this instance,
or from any pretty thin white material,
or It can be utilized for the dainty little
Dresden dimities and lowered lawns and
similar materials, with trimming of lace
or embroidery. The six gorcd skirt is
tucked at the upper edge and the trim
ming is arranged over it. The blouse is
made with separate sleeves sewed to the
armholes and these sleeves can be hn-
ished at the elbows or cut longer and
gathered into bands.
The older girls find embroidered
f1ounclng and bordered materials ex-
tremely becoming as well as practical
for they are always easy TO make into
smart and dainty dresses Pictured here

skirt with blouse that gives all the sim

this one. Furs, long coats and warm
wraps are really necessary to comfort,
but are not to be daunted by any condi-

in new costumes as though the weather
permitted them to be donned. Bright
warm days are coming and all sorts Of
fascinating costumes are being prepared
with which to meet them. There are
weddings to be thought Of, too,
and the guests as well as the brides
must provide fitting raiment. We were
promised something Of sensation with
the coming Of spring styles. While that
promise has not been entirely carried

DID THE ROMANIS1S BLOW UP

HOW CAME THE ROMAEIST
CHAPLAIN OF THE MAINE
TO BE SAFE ON SHORE
THAT FATAL NIGHT?

Dear Sir: Anent the recent de-
struction of the United States arse
nal in California. 1t has occurred
to me that perhaps our friends, the
Roman Catholics, might have a hand
in this. AS they have their own
military forces, military schools and
the Knights of Columbus, all heavi-
ly armed, the loss OF $4,000 rifles
and 100000 rounds of ammunition
would give them the advantage
Of course have nothing to sub
stantiate this opinion, and it only
occurred to me that perhaps they
were responsible.
No one thought they had anything
to do with the blowing up of the
Maine, bat it has developed later
that they knew enough about it go
ing to happen to have their beloved
Holy Father" safely On the shore
that night.
You are doing a good work and [
think everyone should render you
every possible assistance, therefore,
lam taking the liberty of Offering
this small suggestion, for whatever
it may be worth to you.
Yours for America,

they were appointed as a distinct
honor" to no particular religion or
body of people, but for the benefit
of all the people. The above item
shows that Gov. Harmon of Ohio, is
playing politics with the Catholics,
or else the fool priests and editors
don't have brains enough to keep
quiet when an honor comes their
way. And yet some people are
blamed for believing that there is a
Roman Catholic peril!
The above item sounds pretty
ominous. We think Judge Conway
had better take the oath of allegi-
ance to perform the duties of his
Office according to the Constitution
of the State of Ohio, with no ''men-
tai reservation" which is one of the
high ideals of the "ho1y religion"

cape your notice, so am sending

Swainsboro, Oct. 18.-Elder w.
B. Screws, who has been giving a Sc
ries of lectures in this county on the
subject of Roman Hierarchy" had
rather unpleasant experience when
he attempted to speak at the Lee
school house, in a remote section of
the county. The meeting had been
widely advertised and about two
hundred people assembled to listen
to Elder Screws, but they were I'M
able to gain entrance to the school
building, the doors and windows be-
ing nailed down. The directors,
who. were Messrs. Wilson and
Weeks, of that neighborhood and
patrons of the school, gave as their
reason for not desiring the meeting
held in the school house that the
crowd was so large the seats would
be overtaxed and the house would
be Uttered. No amount of persua-
sion availed anything and there was
nothing left for the speaker and his
crowd to do but to betaake them
selves across the public highway to
a grass plot and there hold their
meeting. This was done.

have wondered very much if it would
not tend to arouse the American pub
lie to also include something of what
they are doing nowadays, and right
\ here in Washington.

mind that one of the best ways, and
one that eventually must be used
was to show the public something
OF the rottenness of affairs on those
lines right here at the nations CAPT
/, tai, and will also say that was one
OF the reasons why endeavored to
get a position here under the govern
ment, for the purpose of obserya-
ton.
There is hardly a day that there
is not some fragrant Cd violation
not only of law, but common decen-
cy here, both in and out of the de-
partmeHts. Some two years ago /
succeeded in getting few kindred
spirits together and we started out
to do something if possible.
About the middle of last January
circumstances seemed to come our
way, by the jumping out of the third
story window of couple of girls
confined in the House of the Good
Shepherd here. We went to work
on the cases and employed an attor-
ney-one of the highest standing
here-paId him a retention fee, but
as yet he does not seem to move, al
though We have furnished him with
everything he has asked for in the
line OF evidence, and employed
another attorney who has the repu-
tatfon here of being one of the best,
ii not the best, searcher for prece-
dents and legal decisions on any
case submitted to him.
Our main attorney has told us
that one of these girls has good
case against the House of the Good
Shepherd here all right, but it seems
to take him a devil of a while to get
the papers ready, after heA has said
that every thing was all right, and
he would get them out in a few
days.
To give you something of an idea
of some of the things that have been
done here, and are being done every
day or SO by Catholic judges and
other people of like faith, am
sending you copy of The Menace,
published at Aurora, Missouri, which
you will readily recognize as being
a strictly anti-Catholic paper all
right.
But it does not contain nearly all
the things under consideration by
our Committee" For instance, I
have good authority for saying to
you that this Judge DeLacey has
been for some time sending the
fOundliRgs who have to be taken to
his court to be turned over to the
Board of Children's Guardians, to
