"The extravaganza of women's
dress has reached such point today

How can respectable women APP

clude any and every person who thus

st. Louis Loses Landmark In
Passing of the Southern.
HosteIry That Was Built just After
she Civil War and Has Housed
Most Famous of Nation Goes
Out of Business.

st. Louis, Mo.-The Southern hotel,
tie Oldest place of its kind in St.
Louis, and one of the best known in
America, Is no more.
The hotel has remained true to the
tradition of its founders. 1t was de-
signed as hostelry Of the first class
and 1t has never been anything else.
The history of the Southern hotel is
closely interviewer with that of ST.
Louis. Its fame is not confined to Its
own city, state and nation.
It's spacious lobby, its wide cor
ridors, its commodious rooms, its
luxurious furnishings and its air of
aristocracy have been enjoyed and
commented on by men and women
from all nations.
The Southern hotel was rebuilt on
the site of the original Southern ho-
tel, erected in 1865.
Before the old building was de-
stroyed by fire the night of April II,
1877, 1t was the most pretentious cara
vansary here. 1t sheltered many not
ables.
It was there, in the early '70s, that
the Grand Duke Alexis was enter
tanned when he visited America as
the royal representative of the Rus
sian government.
While the Southern was sheltering
the grand duke it was also affording
a temporary home for Lydia Thomp-
son and a bevy of her famed English
blondes, who had created sensation
in America after making a conquest
Of the old world.
Lydia and her cohorts were disport-
ing themselves at the Olympic, then,
as now, just across the street.
A grand banquet was spread by the
grand dukes orders, and after feed
ing the blondes Alexis decorated the
fair Lydia with a regal bracelet that
was the talk of the town.
All ST. Louis eyes were centered on
the Southern on the occasion of the
first visit to this city of Lily Langtry,
whose beauty had captivated the
Prince of Wales, afterward Edward
VII.
No sooner had the luggage of the
Jersey Lily been deposited in her
palatial suite than there appeared on

Useful Word Indeed.

Apparently the popular word of the
moment in America (where the cleo
ton isl is bolt" says the London
Chronicle. We read that some one is
preparing to bolt (meaning to change
sides) and some one else will prob
ably bolt Taft (meaning throw him
over. But these do not end its
meanings A glance at the dictionary
shows that when you bolt you may
be running away, rushing forward, or
sitting something through a sieve, ac-
cording to the context. Further, a
bolt can be an arrow, a roll Of canvas,
bundle of sticks, and a narrow pas
sage between two houses. And a
plant bolts when 1t runs to seed. A
very useful word.

WITHOUT THE COLLAR
WAISTS THAT ARE COMFORTABLE
AND BECOMING.
Many styles to Select From, and Wide
Variety Admits of Choice That

The collarless waist makes a SUI
perb setting for a pretty head, and as
the season advances one sees more
and more of such comfortable and be-

a very warm day gives warm look,
and SO the women who can wear the

For her less blessed sister there are
wonderful coquetries in high collars,

turnover of lace or tucked muslin at

being the favorite. For the very thin
throat, and those injured by the wings
of time there are also collar guimpes
of flesh colored tulle, these giving

Very plain bodice lines are affected

FRANkNEsS A LARGE ASSET
Old Time Air of Mystery No Longer
AVails In Business and
Politics.

A few very successful politicians to
the contrary notwithstanding, frank
ness is a mighty big asset in any kind
of business, and he who knows how to
use it wins.
The other day a new grease joint
opened up in our block. 1t wasn't
much of a place to look ADJUST the
ordinary cheap restaurant, except that
IL was new and clean and there was
a very frank sign on the wall. 1t
conveyed this Information:
Pay your bill and go out through
the kitchen if you want to. There are
no secrets in our business
That grease joint" is rapidly put
ting its two nearest competitors out
of business And thus far nobody
has paid his bill and made his exit
through the kitchen. Frankness bred
faith in the breast of the hungry.
They looked at the sign and cared to
look no farther. Most of us are
willing to accept on faith that which
we are permitted to examine.
The air of mystery which used to
cloak big business in industry and pol
itics isn't so much Of an asset any
more. In these days we are poking
our fingers into pretty nearly every
thing from the milk cans to the
wheels that go round at rs Broadway.
Instead of the old superstitisus awe
of mystery. there is now a distrist
of that which is hidden. Put up any
sort Of prohibitive sign and we con-
slider it an invitation to get busy
with the probe If the sign says
"wet paint" we stick our fingers in
1t; if it says mo admittance," we
promptly bring on the battering ram
to get in and find out why.
But frankness, confidence in your
neighbor and the public promptly al
lays curiosity and begets confidence
in return. The man who throws his
cards face up On the table and reaches
for the money can pocket it without
protest. Permission to get into the
kitchen and find out what we are eat
ing and how 1t is prepared is all we
ask. We take it for granted that
whatever is in the open is right, hon
est and satisfactory.
And the moral of the tale applies
with equal force and equal PRACTICABLE
fly to business and to personal con.

The cost of installing electric lights

estimated as $3.50. The engine needs

every week. There is no danger from

little danger from fire. Many farm.
