Washington, April 1.-THE state de-

and adjust the collar, and various
other perfectly legitimate objections,
their ready reply is that there is no
smarter nor more comfortable style of
dress 10 be had.
There Is no doubt it is better fash
ion for the business woman. The skirt
Of the linen one-piece frock does not
keep fresh for more than a couple of
days of service in the Office, and then
the whole dress must be laundered, a
far larger item in the bill than single
waist. Besides, the woman who likes
TO sew and embroider land what truly
feminine soul repudiates either9,
can spend her spare hours in the con-
struction of blouses which express her
own individuality with far less expen-
would be required for making a whole
dress.
All this, by way of preamble, TO the
discussions OF the shirt waists for
1912. There is a greater tendency to-
wards simplicity in the new waists,
which is a great gain for smartness.
Some are still fastened up the back,
but there is a very pronounced pro-
clivity for front closing. This gives
opportunity for the prettiest of but
tons and both crochet and crystal but
tons are seen on the best waists. AS
TO materials, nainsook, mercerized
bastite, lawn, marQuisette and scrim
are used with equal impartiality, all
of them being preferred to linen,
which has fallen into disgrace because
OF ats bad habit of wrinkling.
AS for sleeves, the kimono sleeve is
relegated to the limbo of passe fash
ions, although it has left a well-defined
likeness upon the sleeve now in vogue.
This is a plain sleeve, set without full
ness into an armhole dropped well
down off the shoulder. Summer blous-
es will have the three-quarter, straight
sleeve for comfort, but a popular cut
will be the long plain sleeve to the
wrist, fitted TO the arm, from wrist to
elbow, by many small, lengthwise
tucks, or in one-seam sleeve, by an
overlapping tuck folded over and fast
ened by hooks and loops after the
waist has been donneG.
The little bloused effect over the
belt is again in favor, though not with
the extreme bagginess of other days,
when the waist was pulled out and fell
in a pouch three or more inches deep
in front. This was a handy fashion,
for the pouch was a convenient RECEIPT.

AN ENGINE OF TORTURE.
The PillorS Was Not Abolished In Eng
land Until 1887.

The pillory was done away with by
act Of parliament in the year 1887, and
it is amazing that 1t should have en-
dured until that date, for it was a
mode Of punishment which could be
made so extremely barbarous as to be
a crying scandal to any nation. This
engine Of torture seems to have been
known before the conquest under the
name of stretch neck" which is pleas
antly suggestive of its functions.
Edward l. enacted that all stretch
necks should be made of proper size
so that the life of the occupant should
not be endangered, and a print of the
reign of Henry III. shows very clearly
what the pillCry was like in those days.
The culprit va mounted upon a stool,
at one side of which was fixed a pole.
supporting a pair of boards hinged to-
gether and with holes cut in them
large enough to admit the wrists and
neck.
The hands and arms were thus held
on a level with the face, and the APP
palling stiffness which this must have
caused can well be imagined. Thus
confined and pOwerless, the offender
was placed in some public spot. where
the riffraff employed themselves hurl.
/ ing dirt, sticks and stones at him until
/ they were tired or until the object Of
their sport succumbed, as not infre-
/ quently came to pass.
/ L. would seem that primarily the pill
/ lory was intended for cheats of all
/ kinds, such as mOuntebanks, fraudu-
| lent dealers in horses, coal, corn, etc,
and we read in Fabian that the mayor
| of London in 1887 did sharp correc-
/ ton upon bakers for making bread OF
| light weight He caused divers Of
them to be put in the pi!lory, as also
one Agnes Daintie for selling of min
| gled butter" Soothsaying and other
ms ic arts were also punished with
tire pillory.
1t would appear that famous men did
not appear in the pillory until after
! 1857, when a star chamber decree for
babe the printing of any book or pam
phlet without permission from the
archbishop of Canterbury, the bishop
of London or the university authori-
ties and also made an order that any
printer who did not conform 10 this
and set up printing press should not
only be pilloried, but also whipped
through the city Of London.
/ Stafford is told by Garrard the way
in which three men underwent their
pilloryings. They stood two hours in
the pillory. The place was full of PEG.

Gently suggested by a well known
modiste is to sew a tape across the
back of the shirt waist to the under
arm seams and sew to it several but

to the skirt belt can be caught in

one of the neatest of summer gowns,

issued today by the state department
says in part:
"The southern bankers limit the
uses of their loan exclusively to the
refunding of the Honduran foreign
debt, and discard the proposals of the
Morgan group to promote railroad
building and other internal improve
ments, and to settle internal debts
and claims pending aginst the Hon

aroused criticism against the Morgan
contract, and the southern bankers
claim that in eliminating these feat
ures they have presented terms sat
isfactory to Honduras and that ac-
ceptance of the loan may be ex-
pected.
Their optimism as to its final &C
ceptance, however, is based simply
upon the approval given their con-
tract by individual officials of the
government of Honduras who have

general public in Honduras the south

such action implies, it will, it is de-
clared, produce wave of reaction in

judice and paving the way for a sane
consideration of the Whitney contract

almost wholly due to its connection
with the Morgan contract, agains
