Georgia, Fulton county: Personal
ly appeared before the undersigned,
an officer authorized by law to admin
lister oaths, Daniel w. Rountree, who
first being duly and legally sworn, de-
poseth and saith:
"That during the years 1904 and
1905 F. H. Krauss was employed by
his law firm, Fielder & Rountree, and
afterwards Fielder, Rountree & Will
son, as chief clerk and stenographer.
In this capacity he kept the books of
the firm, wrote checks, receipts, de-
posted money and, in short discharg-
ed all cut1es devolving upon him in
the capacity of chief clerk, stenogra-
pher, bookkeeper and cashier for said
firm During the year 1905 deponent
and his associates discovered that the
said F. H. Krauss was short in his ac-
counts with said firm and with depo-
nent. Upon investigation of the mat
ter it was discovered that said short
age aggregated several thousand dol

with, the said F. H. Krauss made to
deponent and his associates full and
complete confession, subscribing min

ployed by him in concealing his spec

"It developed that the said F. H.
Krauss had forged checks, drafts, re-

A Quaint Conceit.

A quaint conceit which is being revived
on several models are the large choux Of
ribbon or silk or velvet. repeating. per-
haps, the note Of color at the waist and
placed at the side front about nine inches
up from the foot. In fact, we appear to
be in for revival Of those contrasting
choux Of silk or velvet which were such
an infection some years ago. They ara
appi1ed to the cOrsage or skirt more or
less Unfortunately, and bear no rela-
ton to the general design Of the model.
Just now the idea is quite endurable,
especially when carried out as on a white
batiste frock with a V-shaped lace vest
at the neck let into a large, plain vest OF
fine embroidered batiste. Two large dia-
mond-shaped pieces of lace on the Shout
ders head two soft folds Of batiste, which
cross over In front into swathed waist
belt OF soft mauve silk, finishingfwith an
enormous chou at the left front.
The skirt Is on simpler lines, gathered
into the waist. "A band of the lace Ii ap-
piled about q foot up from the hem, and
just above this and in q line with that at
the waist Is q very large rosette bow.
These touches Of mauve were quite de-
lightful. A similar note was sounded on
the white baby hat. which had g wreath
of tiny mauve roses encircling the mob
crown.
Another model in snotted muslin also
had q little cross over bodice folded over
a soft fold OF pale green silk. The waist
belt and rosette are in pale green silk
and q large nat rosette headed an open
seam, revealing a lace inset. These In
Productions Of colored silks into white
lingerie and muslin frocks are very much
to be noted just now.

A Word About BIouses.

During the last week there has beer
considerable interesting news heard about
the new blouses for spring. One specially
interesting piece of information Is the
mounting OF transparent lingerie slips
over chair colored chiffon. This Is an
especially happy move and will go far to-
ward further increasing the favor be-
slowed on these possessions. To all but
the few the dead white OF lawn and
net has frequently proved most trying
when In close proximity to the face and
throat And the delicate tone of this
under slip just softens this down, without
at the same time doing away with the
fresh. clean appearance which Is one OF
the essential charms of the lingerie
blouse.
A number OF the simplest shirt blouses
are being fashioned of charmeuse. It
would serve little purpose to attempt any
description Of these: indeed. they do not
lend themselves to description, the whole
essence Of their success resting on form
and .coloring. One detail. however. Is
paramount, and that Ii an extreme

SART0RIAL HINTS.
BY Elizabeth Lee.

In spite OF strictly observing the rule
Of the stitch In time saving nine, there
is still lots of mending to be done.
Lingerie is apt to go all to pieces under
the arms in way neither one nor nine
stitches could save, heels will insist
upon catching into the hem or ruf1e of
the petticoat and frost or careless laun-
dering will ruin anything from hand
some house linen to cherished bits Of lace.
Nobody wants to wear patched clothes.
but by using little ingenuity garments
may be mended and not show the slight
est suspicion Of a. patch.
For instance, take corset covers and
chemses worn thin or actually broken
away under the arms, II piece Of the
material is basted over the spot and
outlined with short strip Of insertion

will be an extra bit Of decoration instead

dress treated this way recently. It had
always been tight in the armhole, which
caused a breaking in the seams. A dia-
veining. resulting in perfect comfort, be-
side added beauty to the garment.
When lace insertion begins to tear away
1t is no use trying to repair II: The best
a strip Of new lace over the old on both
edges and then cut away underneath. 1t
Is good plan to save scraps OF fine
white goods and ends OF lace for just
such purposes as these. Should one hap
pen to get a tear in a large piece OF lace
mot the result Of wear) the edges should
be drawn together and the lace basted
down to piece of stiff paper. It is then
put under the machine and the stitching
is taken to and fro over the tear.
This is wonderfully strong, and when
the paper is cut away underneath the
break will not be visible. This method
! applies to machine made lace Of course.
Real lace requires an entirely different
treatment.
The stitch in time will probably save
the sheets from wear II 1t takes the form
Of short lengths of white tape sewn at
the corners.
Every woman knows how to turn a
sheet sides to middle In order to prolong
its usefulness. but many have been an

vented by cutting away from the middle

The corsage has one shoulder draped
with the venise and the other with the
meteor, the latter edged along the top

tai fringe finishes one side Of the lace
1t is interesting to note that, notwith-

over-elaboration, q certain simplicity is
draperies of an intricate nature are tacit-

nothing SO graceful as long, sagging ef-
fects for the soft, clinging materials that

out such effects are wonderfully success
full.
The lace is seldom lined, but some
times is weighted to insure it's falling
into place. One very handsome gown of
marquisette has eighteen-inch lace used
layishly and in a unique manner. A
length Of it is swung diagonally from the
front across to one side, while second

edge arranged in line with that Of the
front, swerves to the right. As 1T reaches

apart: one to cross the front diagonally,
and the other to slant, though more de-
liberately, down the side back. A little
point Of the same lace is extended in bib
fashion above the belt, and similar points
finish the bell-shaped sleeves.
Flowers continue to be used with the
pretty silks and laces. and, in fact, have
rather taken the place Of the made orna-

wheels, etc.-that were SO much seen dur
ing the early part of the season.

A Promise of Paniers.

With subtle cunning. frocks Of the
panier persuasion are creeping into the
scheme Of things. So far, indeed, the
panier has not properly declared ITSELF
but models bordering very nearly on
eighteenth century models are already to
be seen.
Powered overskirts are draped grace
fully over soft satin petticoats. the cor
sage is laced over waistcoat OF fine
mousseline de sole. the sleeves. tight to
the elbow, are finished with cunning frills
and tiny bows of black velvet, and a vel
vet bow finishes the crossover muslin ker-
chief waistcoat. The unexpressed paniers
lie meanwhile in slight fullness over the
hips.
There is still tendency to irregularity
of construction In the coats and frocks
for early spring. Several smart suits
have been seen with a rever on one side
only-usually the right. The style has q
certain attractiveness, but one Is apt to
tire Of it quickly.

Popular Fashions.

With regard to novelties In the way
of fashion. 1t seems that we have
sworn eternal allegiance to the mar
row skirt and kimono bodice. for these
features are the accepted facts in our
frocks of today. The only variation
which is allowed us Is in the arrange
ment Of the tunic and draperies with
which the sheath underdress is yelled
The one-sided effects on the bodice are
still seen, and there Is nothing new
under the sun; nor can we now ex-
pect anything different until. the spring

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

In one Of Robert Louis Stevenson's
books a young man receives this advice
from friend who has seen something
Of the world: BE soople. Davie, in al
0ings immaterial."
With the end Of Lent the most prolific
wedding season Of the year will COM
mence. How I wish that every twain
who are to become one this spring would
take the. above advice for their matri-
monial motto, and honestly resolve on
their wedding day to tV to be "soople
in all things immaterial."
I wish also that they might be able to
get the right point Of view on what Is
material and what is not. So many
things are immaterial that we fuIno and
fret and worry ourselves about. And SO
many things are vital that we seem to
hold very lightly.
For instance, any third party Will cor
tainly admit that it is comparatively I'M
material whether that call on which Mrs
Newlywed's heart is set is made friday
evening or put off until the next week
in difference to a smoker which MIR. New
lywed particularly wishes to attend. But
the two most concerned do not seem "a
be able to look at this matter as imma-
terial And no one will deny that the
peace and harmony Of the home are most
vital in the lives Of these young folks
And yet over that immater1al point, they
lightly soil and tarnish these precious and
vital things.
In q witty little volume by one Of the
modern woman writer's a young wife Is
pictured as inquiring of her husband, who
has Just come from their home to the

he brought down a particular belt which
she has repeatedly charged him not to

that, they will be practically sure of a
