WHOLE HOUSEHOLD IN PAWN
Wedding Ring Included, Says Charles
RothweiIer In Suit for Divorce
in California,

Oakland, Cal.-Something turned up
for Charles Rothweiler every minute
after he found note informing him
that Mrs. Clara Rothweiler had gone
to the country. The first revelation
came when his daughter found batch
of pawn tickets, according to his COM
plant for divorce. The tickets showed
Mrs Rothweiler had pawned her we'd
ding ring, diamond brooch which he
had given her, and articles Of jewelry
belonging to their daughter, he said.
Rothweiler also averred that he
found Mrs. Rothweiler had arranged
several loans secured by mortgages on
their furniture. The next thing that
came to light was that she had failed
to deposit money in the bank which
he said he had given her, spending It
instead.
Mrs. Rothweiler is charged with all
these things to crafty her alleged de-
sire for strong drink. Rothwe!ler said
she was often under the influence Of
liquor, letting bread burn up In the
oven while she slumbered, and also of
falling asleep on the porch He said
he had seen her spill her soup at the
table while under the influence of
liquor.
The note which he said he found
conveyed the information she had be-
trayed her trust and had gone to the,
couatry and would not return.

Cling to Black Wells.

Rome.-Signorina Rosa Sarto, the
eldest sister of Plus X, who two
months ago had a slight stroke Of par
alysis, has now quite recovered Her
speech, which was affected, is normal
again, and she is able to walk as
usual. The other day she went on
visit to her brother in the Vatican.
The second sister, Maria, has just re-
turned after three weeks visit to
the pontiff's native country, Venezia,
where she stayed first at his birth
place, REESE, among his more imme-
date relatives, and later with another
sister Teresa, and her son, Don Clio
vanni Battista, who is arch-priest at
sPossagno. twenty miles from REESE.
She brought back to the pope many
messages and recollections Of the old
and intimate family life which he
loved so well. She left behind, for the
time, her niece, Gilda Parolin, who
lives almost constantly with her aunts
in Rome, and who, being young and
more vivacious than they, acts as
their interpreter; at some times as
their protector, dispensing the swarms
Of gsagrims, foreigners, journalists and
photographers, who watch their every
movement, and constantly seek to
come in contact with them and ask
questions-often very indiscreet ques-
tions-of these near relatives Of the
pontiff, who, they think, must know
all the secrets Of the Vatican.
The sisters Sarto and their niece
are usually received by the pontiff
twice week, on Thursdays and Sun
days. They are sometimes present
when he takes his simple midday din
ner and are even occasionally admit
ted to share his meal
Since the time OF Urban Viii, in
the seventeenth century, it had been
the unbroken rule for the pope to take
all meals in solitary state, waited on
by special attendant called 80
Scale Segreto" (the secret carver),
generally member Of the aristocracy,
with whom he occasionally talked.

can when, in the early days of his

Washington.-Beca of the sign
ing of the bill which enables settlers
who lost money by the Shoshone Dam
project to recover various sums, Mrs.
Katherine Macdonald, who nearly
tainted in the house gallery when the
effort to override the veto failed,
has gone home with $1,000 in her
shopping bag and will be able to pay
the mortgage on her home where her
sick husband lies and her three little
girls are bravely keeping house.
A firm of contractors failed in erect
ing the dam. Mrs. Macdonald and her
husband had operated store and
had taken the time checks" of the
workmen for pay for groceries and
other necessities there. The govern
ment stepped in and completed the
dam. Those who held claims against
the contractors got nothing
Mrs. Macdonald came here two
years ago, but failed to get the bill
through. Those who at first paid her
expenses became disheartened, She
then came again, paying her own ex-
penses. She failed again. The third
time, after the president had vetoed
the bill and the house had failed to
override the veto, 1t passed with modi-
fcations.

She Left Twenty-seven
Years Ago.

New York.-In quaint, old world
manner and a voice supernally soft,
despite a catch that occasionally crept
into It, Mrs. Daniel Sickles unsealed
her lips to tell for the first time the
story Of the trouble between herself
and General Sicktes
Mrs. Sickles declared quietly that
only upon certain conditions would
she become reconciled to the pic
turesque old warrior with whose life
hers had been linked for forty-one Of
its fifty-nine years. These conditions
are:
First-The general must come
courtin' just as he did In the old days
back in Madrid when he was Ameri-
can ambassador to the court Of Spain
and she was dark-eyed, raven-haired
slip of a girl.
Second-The general must agree i'm
mediately to dismiss his housekeeper,
Miss Eleanor Earl Wilmerding, at
whose door Mrs. sickles and her son
Stanton place a large part Of the
blame for the present unfortunate
conditions of affairs.
Mrs. Sickles strove to make 1t plain
that the general himself must make
the first overtures
There is little to say" she said.

EASY TO FREsHEN UP SUIT
Touches of Trimming With the Re-
quisite Cleaning, VIII Make It
as Good as New.

Perhaps you have perfectly good
suit that was fresh from the tailors
hands last season and which you will
want to wear now, provided 1t can
be freshened a bit and altered to
conform to the mode Of the present.
Naturally, you will want this change
made with as little expense as pos
Bible, for 1t is not, after all, last
years costume?
At a glance you see that the coat
Is too short, the skirt too narrow
and the collar and cuffs quite differ
emit from the newest patterns, and
The question at once arises, How can
1t be remodeled?"
The coat, requiring the most atten-
ton, we will attend to 1rst.
Taffeta silk, or one of the many
fancy linen braids, and new buttons
will be all the trimming required. A
new collar, either of the shawl or
sailor variety, will do much to bring
the coat up to date. The addition
of @ broad band around the bottom
will give the required length.
By mitering the corners, braid four
or six inches wide can easily be made
into square sailor collar and brought
In a broad band over the shoulders
and from there down the front of the
coat. Cuffs of braid finish the coat
trimming.
If braid is used on the coat carry
out this effect on the skirt by opening
the side seam half way from hem
to waist line, and over this stitch
the wide braid, allowing 1t to con-
tinue to the waist over the skirt.
With a band of braid around the
bottom of the skirt this makes an
effective trimming, especially if but
tons matching those used on the coat
are placed at intervals of four inches
on the side band of braid.
A belt of braid or soft girdle of
silk completes the remodeled suit,
which will be found satisfactory in
every way to the woman with linn
tied purse.

LINK POPE TO HOME

secretaries, Mgrs. Bressan and Pes

friends, to eat with him.
When the master of ceremonies
ventured respectfully to mention tie

which pope It was who had made the

The Sarto sisters, when they first
came to the Eternal City, had it de
licately intimated to them that black
lace veil was not the headgear for
people in their position, to which they
replied that they assumed no posi-
tion," and that 1t was useless to speak
of hats, as they had no use for them.
To reinforce their attitude they APP
piled to the pontiff, which showed
them to be less simple than they were
judged, as he sternly sets his face
against anything which may even
seem like pretending to be what you
are not. But as usual, time and expe-

Necessity is the mother of invel
tion," and with stockings so extrava
gantlygsheer and therefore so fright
fully expensive, one clever woman has
devised scheme whereby she always
appears to be clad in the most dain.
tily transparent black hosiery, where
as in reality she is wearing a dark
London smoke colered stocking at
about 35 cents pair. The cleyerness
of this idea must be demonstrated be-
fore it can receive appreciation. Not
only does the smoke color give the
effect of extreme transparency. but 1t
also suggests the daintiest of feet and
ankles, minus the usual unattractive
number of swollen veins and bumps
that are so obtrusively apparent.

The veto Of the original bill was on
the ground that it would impose addi-
tional charges on reclamation settlers
on the Shoshone project, The bill
finally passed imposed a charge
against the general reclamation fund
of $4,000, which met the presidents
approval.

Feathers va. Flowers.

The rage for feathers which has
marked the summer millinery has
given a serious setback to the arti-
fetal flower industry, and an attempt
is to be made to introduce flower be-
decked hats in the coming winter.
At the beginning of the season
many attempts were made to pop
ularize floral millinery fashions, but
women insisted On having feathers or
perky bows of ribbons for the adorn-
ment Of their headwear. All kinds
of beautiful blossoms we're introduced
in colors true to nature and in colors
unknown to nature, with the object
of Turing women back to their old al
legiance to the flower decked summer
hat, but women would have none of
them.
Feathers or nothing at all, that was
the decision, and flowers were rele-
gated to the top shelf.

Fascinating Color.

Plated white maline make up into
a collar that is positively fascinating.
Incidentally, 1t is wondrous becoming.
First you take a six-inch-wide strip of
white tulle and knife" it into plaits
of infinitesimal depth. When you have
a length long enough to set smoothly
jim plaits--about the shoulders, you
attach one side of it to the lower edge
of band Of folded satin or velvet and
upon the upper edge of that band, you
put an inch and one-half broad plait-
ing Of fnaline. Finally, you join the
ends OF the neck-band under a bow OF
velvet or satin This neckpiece is love-
ly in black tulle over white tulle, in
all black or white or in white with a
black collar band. And it goes charm
ingly with any sort of simple little
froek which has not a stock collar.

No One Idea May Be Set Down as
the Fashion Decree Of
the Season.

g Sleeves are increasingly broader
but are in many cases put in full but
fiat into a small armhole and then
are allowed to widen toward the bot
tom, ending in a wide cuff and fall Of
lace or net at the elbow. Or they are
put into the armhole full, are adjusted
to the inner arm by little tucks and
are allowed to droop on the outer
arm over a close-fitting lower Sec
ton reaching to the hand,
The little oversleeves of coats or
tunics are often cut in one with the
shoulder, but the kimono sleeve really
has lost prestige at last and is seen
less than it was at the beginning Of
the season. When it is used the under.
arm seam is so fitted up to the armpit
that bagginess is eliminated and the
kimono idea remains only in the abb
sence of an armhole seam across the
shoulder.
