gan alleges that the Prison Commits
sioners have the right to remove the
incumbents at will and appoint their
successors. The reply was filed by
the petitioners yesterday and by
agreement the case will be submitted

new NOVELTIES In
BELTS FOR WOMEN
Irish Lace Patterns Shown in Gro
cheted Styles.

The present craze for the slightly high
waisted beltless skirts in the tailored
models would seem to have sounded
the death knell for belts. but there are
a few of even the fashionable women
who adhere to the normal waist line
This, Of course. necessitates the wear
ing Of smart satin or leather belt, and
the stores are showing novelties in this
line which woul1 tempt even the woman
who is having all her skirts cut high
at the waist line.
One Of the most effective springIike
novelties which are even now being
shown Is made of white linen thread
crocheted. and many of the patterns are
those used in making tie dainty IrisL
lace.
Crocheted strips cross the belt at in
tervals OF four inches on the underside
and through these strips a piece of satin
betting In wfdte or pale tints is drawn
Keep silk from soUInE.
The lace covering saves the silk belt
ing from soiling quickly. and may be
laundered easily.
The present style Of finishing the high
cut waist with a pleated peplum has
brought out another novelty In belts
this being one of black satin finished
at the lower edge with a pleated strip
of the satin.
Brown and blue and gray satin are
also used in making these new belts.

By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

From time immemoriaI all well-mean-
ing people have spoken with great con-
sideration of the mother.
To be a mother is supposed to be the
greatest honor which can be conferred
upon woman, and her greatest achieve
ment.
When motherhood comes through the
love of a woman for a man, and the
desire to bring his children into exis-
tence, it certainly is the most magnifi-
cent and holy calling of womankind.
But unless a woman fits herself to
give the child the right moral and physi-
cal. and spiritual training. then mother
hood ceases to be beautiful or holy.
The person who purchased a priceless
gem at great cost, and then flung the
gem in a mud heap or battered It with
a hammer. would not merit our respect
because he owned the jewel
Precisely so with the mother who brings
a child into the world and then leaves
1t to acquire vicious habits, or to grow
up without decent manners, or to be ig-
norant, or to become an invalid because Il
has not been taught how to breathe, how
to eat and drink, how to stand and sit
and walk, and how to think. She has no
right to our respect because she merely
produced a child.
Woman Born of Weak Mother.
A long letter from q woman who was
born Of such q mother has come to
me. The mother of this woman believed
no marriage bond could be severed save
by death, and though she married a
man who misused and abused her. ana
who destroyed her love and respect be-
fore a child was born, she continued to
live with him until ten unfortunats be-

A PRAYER.

Published at the request Of Mrs C, Z. M
God of the lonely soul,
God Of the comfortless,
God OF the broken hesrt-for these,
Thy tenderness!
For prayers there be enough,
Yea, prayers there be to spare
For those Of proud and high estate:
Each hath his share.
But the beggar at my door,
The thief behind the bars;
And those that be too blind to see
The shining stars;
The outcast in his hut,
The useless and the old:
Whoever walks the city's streets
Homeless and cold;
The sad and lone of soul
Whom no man understands:
And those of secret sin, with stains
Upon their hands,
And stains upon their souls;
Who shudder in their sleep,
And walk their ways with trembling
hearts,
Afraid TO weep;
For the childless mother, Lord,
And ah. the little child
Weeping the mother in her grave,
Unreconciled-
God of the lonely soul,
God Of the comfortlesS,
For these. and such as these, ask
Thy tenderness!
Whose sin be greatest. Lord;
II each deserve his lot:
II each but reap as he hath sown-

] only ask of Thee
The marvel OF a space
When these forgot and blind may look

UNLESS THE WIFE is FIT FOR 1T

inEs came into the world. Born from
brute force, not from love. and the weak
mother possessing no knowledge that
enabled her to give her offspring a
right start in. life, not desiring children,
what could be expected? Here is what
one of the unfortunates says:
Now, It seems to me there is far too
much silly talk about people honoring
their parents. A few days ago l read in
a newspaper. Honor your mother.
Honor her for the time she went down
nearly to death for you But would It
not be wise always to consider what she
did that for?
In hundreds of cases Il is not for
love of husband or child, but just cow
ardice, and the old-fashioned idea Of
staying by a man because he is called
a husband.
That you may have some informa-
tion so that you may write articles with
authority, ! will cite a case in which the
man was more brute than anything else.
That foolish wife kept on living with
him until there were ten children.
He hated them before they were born.
He hated them after. He made their
lives so wretched with his cruelty that
they were obliged to work for strangers
all the way from nine to twelve years Of
age.
Welfare of Children Overlooked.
Strangers got all the hard work out
OF them they could. Their physical well
fare was entirely overlooked. Their
moral natures were forgotten entirely.
Have these things voiced through
your far-reaching articles. You've prob
ably been asked to publish such things
before, but ]. too. must make a strong
appeal. for I have suffered all my life
through criminal ignorance and weak
ness OF my parents.

FLOWERETS PRETTY
FOR DANCE FROGKS

Fashion has been kind to the debutante
and her younger sister this year. Never
were youthful dance frocks more at
tractive than at present.
The simple lines so popular in the ac-
cepted styles are especially adapted 10
the trainless dress.
The prettiest dance frocks are fash
ioned from chiffon, satin, lace, tulle and
tiny fiowerets.
The clinging robe Of satin is used for
a foundation. Over this falls a tunic of
chiffon or tulIe. This may be embroid-
cred with crystal beads or delicately
colored silks.
White over pink. delicate blue over
pink. a clear light green with white,
coral or geranium over white. all white
are the loveliest combinations used for
these frocks.
Lilac Over Pink.
One OF the most artistic ,frocks worn
at a recent cotillion was of palest lilac
over a delicate pink.
A folded girdle of violet velvet with
long sash ends, completed this charming
frock.
wonderful apple green frock OF
mousseline de sole was draped over sill
yer net. Dainty silver lace was used to
trim the bodice and skirt.
Pink blossoms of satin arranged in
small clusters were caught here and there
among the gossamerlike folds.
The debutante will find little difficulty
in selecting a becoming model among
this winters styles. They seem de-
signed to set OF the charms OF youthful
beauty.
when planning the dance frock for
the young girl introduce the pretty
fiowerets. They come in innumeraSle
forms and colors. The success of the
gown may depend entirely upon the
artistic color scheme of these dainty
blossoms.
