White House will become the home
of a charming mother and three cnl-
tured daughters.
Clever and talented, each with
some fixed vocation in life. fond of
entertaining and entertainment with

tally will be dispensed at the White

Mrs. Wilson passed most of her
youth in Georgia. She is IN artist.

Miss Margaret Wilson has devoted

TRAGEDY OF POVERTY IN
A CITY WILDERNESS.

Starvation was the diagnosis
written opposite the name of Amelia
Schiek when she was admitted to
Bellevue hospital. The record was
completed with the statements that
she was seventeen years old, and had
no home or friends.
As she related her experience of a
week searching for work and resist
ing temptations thrown in her way,
her large black eyes filed with
tears. Although her face vas ENACT
ated from the privations she had SUI
fered it was evident that she had
been extremely pretty. The cheap
cotton dress did not hide the lines Of
an attractive figure.
The girl had been wandering the
streets of the city. sleeping wherever
she could find shelter. and begging
between her visits 10 places where
she sought employment.
Il was a good cutter and
sewer on shiftwaists.' she told DR..

Asked how she had managed to
exist for a week without a place to
sleep or means to buy food. she re-
piled:
Il slept wherever l could find shell

for money, and although they did

There is no place in the world, SO
lonely as a great city. to the stranger
or unfortunate, without friends or
funds. The foregoing story of Amelia
schick is not uncommon. She was
in a plight that has driven more than
one girl to suicide or to a life OF
abandonment, the toll a great city
likes to exact from the unemployed
or those whose wage is not sufficient
for the material needs. Starvation
is a cruel word, and its real signif-
canoe is hard to realize. out in Bat

not so many people, but where there
are prosperity and hospitality. Such

THE DISGRACE OF NEVADA.

Commenting on the recent cleo
ton. the Tonopah Bonanza says:
THE divorce question was a live
topic in Reno during the recent
election and one of the champions
for the present law, an attorney, was
defeated for the state senate by a
candidate who had not pledged him
self either way. This merely shows
thai the thinking voters of Reno are
opposed to present conditions and
object to their city being made the
rendezvous of a bunch of broken
down sports seeking relief from dis
tasteful marital relations. The same
sentiment is to be observed in every
section of the state, although the
Reno merchants think to the con-
trary.
1.-The state of Nevada /. considered
a huge joke by this nation and the
only method by which the self re-
spect can be regained is by the re-
pealing of the present law and the
enactment of a measure that will as
sist in the regaining of the respect
long since lost through the efforts of
a coterie of shyster attorneys"
This is about the view taken by
all thinking and desirable citizens OF
the state. Aside from a few Reno
merchants practically all of that
city's residents are opposed to pres
ent conditions, as is evidenced by the
result of the election when a we'll
known attorney was defeated by a
comparatively unknown farmer, the
former being in favor of the present
law and the latter being known only
as a respectable citizen.
Not only is the state made light of
in all the comic magazines and news
papers but laxity of the laws in this
particular leads to the belief that the
state government is equally weak in
other essentials and thus is given a
had name, and the other states OF
the union are not inclined to look
upon Nevada with any respect.
Now what will the legislature do
at the coming session? 1t is up to
the Democrats as they are in con
troll of both houses and the eyes of
the citizens are upon them.
The five Republicans who will go
from White Pine county are all per-
sonally in favor of having the period
of residence made one year instead
of six months and they were elected
upon a platform which contains the
following:
An amendment to the present di-
vorce law requiring a years actual
residence within the state beofre ac-
ton can be commenced"
The White Pine delegation has had
several meetings since the election
with a view to considering the bust
ness to be taken up at Carson this
winter and a bill relating 10 the di-
vorce laws is now being framed by
them which will be introduced if nc
other is presented.
1t is believed there will be little
opposition to the amendment except
from the Reno members of the legis-
lature and the situation will prob.
ably resolve itself into the State oil
Nevada VS.. the City of Reno. The
merchants of that town care little
for the moral influence of this elias:

AS TO SKIRT AND WAISTLlNE
They Refuse to Change Materially
LapeIs and Coat Collars Are
to Be Small, Is Decree.

OF all the variables that refuse to
vary the raised waistline is the most
tantalizing. In Paris practically moth
ing is used except the raised or high
waistline, but over here women are
more divided in their opinion. One
sees a great many normal waistline
skirts on smart women, but they are
usually the women who think they are
too tall or too stout to wear the
raised line successfully.
The cry of fuller skirts and normal
waistlines is always taken up with
great vigor at the beginning Of each
season, but 1t subsidies quickly after
an examination of the new models.
There is no doubt at all that the lead
ing dressmakers are producing fuller
and more bouffant effects by means
of their draperies and panniers, but
they have not added centimeter to
the actual widths of their foundation
skirts. The silhouette Is as narrow
as ever, and is likely to remain 30
for some time to come.
In morning suits one sees the plain
notched collar, little larger as tc
the lapel than it would have been g
few years ago, but much smaller than
| the collar and revers of an afternoon
coat. In hacking suits the long plain
sleeve is used altogether, but in silk
and velveteen costumes and suits oi
that type the sleeve is little short
and wide at the bottom. The long
sleeve is smart in day dresses of the
| simpler type, but in dress or suit
that is at all elegant either in cut Oh
materials the shorter sleeve is pre-
ferred.-From the Delineator.

French Economy.

GREAT VARIETY OF FABRICS
Fashion Allows Wide Choice Of Ma
teriaI for Fall Sults-lmitation
Furs Are Being Worn.

For suits this fall the "velours de
! laine," or woolen velour. occupies first
place. This comes in striped effects,
checked and undecided figured pat
terms, a good two-tone effect being
produced by the raised patterns con-
trast with a bright warp.
Velours de laine is supple and ad-
mits of drapery. gathering and pleat-
ing without obtrusive bulkiness. 1t
is triumph of the weaver's art.
Boucle cloths are also highly IA
vored. These are the weaves that
show little rings Of thread that give
soft, rough effect.
Peau de suede has the softness or
silk and the full finish Of suede.
Velvets, corduroys and velveteens
are important for afternoon suits, and
the corded effects seem to be most
generally used in costumes.
Imitation furs are taking the place
of the expensive peltry. These fur
cloths form little vests, cuffs and col
lars on jackets.
Materials are, as a rule, supple, sort
and wide. The tones are soft and
neutral, allowing for the introduction
of the color note by means of the
vests, girdles, velvet collars and orna-
ments so much in vogue.

Interesting reading for the multitude

The quiet, opulent citizen exercises
thus in an innocent way party spirit
which in our finite nature we neither

Portable person thus gets up ficti-
tious interest, like that which is often
felt in a bet, experiences an unreal

feels a very lively, though imaginary,
sympathy in the good or evil fortune
of others.
This sympathy seems often arbi
trary, but 1t rests on moral grounds.

To Press Plaits.

Now that plated skirts are creep
ing back to the realm Of fashion.
women who like to attend to their
own clothes will want to know just
how to go about keeping them well
pressed and in good condition.
First of all, you must baste the
plaits in place just as they were
when the skirt was new; run line
of basIing on the outside edge of each
plait the full length, catching 1t down
firmly to the material underneath.
Lay it over the ironing board wrong
side out, place damp cloth over the
plaits and press with a hot iron until
the damp cloth is dry.
Allow the basting threads to remain
in the skirt after 1t is pressed for
several hours; then remove them, and
your skirts will keep their shape and
look nicer for long time.
This same rule applies to all plait'
ed garments.
