AUTO AND CYCLE
IN BAD COLLISION
Ben Pierces Thrown From
Wheel Receives Severe
Injuries.

An automobile and a motorcycle col
lided Saturday afternoon at the corner
of Forsythe avenue and 14sth street,
causing quite serious injury to the rider
of the motorcycle and DANA ging both
machines quite badly.
The man injured was Ben Pierce of
Indiana Harbor, who was thrown vio-
lently to the ground when the automo-
bile struck his motorcycle. His left
arm was fractured above the elbow and
at the wriest and the motorcycle was
practically a wreck from the encounter.
The man driving the motor was John
Perry of Chicago. The front wheel of
his was so badly damaged that he
was forced to leave the machine in a
garage for repairs and it will be neoes-
sary to substitute a new wheel for the
damaged one.
Pierce was helped into the office OF
DR.. Townsely, in the Calumet building.
where his fractured arm was set, and
the patient removed to St Margaret $
hospital. He is doing so well. however,
that DR.. Townsely will permit his re-
moval to his home today
The auto was turning west from For
sythe avenue into 14Sth street at the
same time that Pierce on his motor
cycle undertook to turn north from
14Sth street. and while both men tried
to steer their machines out of each 9TH
er's way, they miscalculated and the
collision was the result.

JOHN ON GUM SHOE
TRIP TO DELAWARE
What They Will Do to
Morthland When He Gets
Home Will Be Plenty.

John M Morthland, employed in the
offices of Bomberger, Sawyer & Curtis
of Hammond. is the original gumshoe
artist. When it comes to pussy footing
around Morthland can go farther with
out being noticed than any one in
town.
John Keeps his own counsel 1t is
characteristic of him. Reticence is
golden and John knows it. Perhaps
that is why he is known as John
Morthland, secretary of everything.
These preliminary remarks are in
tended to break the news gently that
John Morthland is to be married in the
near future. In fact he has gone east
for the purpose.
No one suspected that such an idea
had ever occurred to him until he
made arrangements for his posses. I'd
like pass for myself to Wilmington
and a pass for myself and wife from
Wilmington to Hammond said John,
one day. and that was the first intima-
tion his associates had that he intended
to marry.
There is no question that be put one
over. No one knew of his intentions
until he got away. Now there is some
talk of having the Orak band and patrol
comes back.
The name of the young lady has not
yet been learned and probably Will not
be known until John introduces her to
his Hammond friends.

pushed. Thinking nothing of this Nor
more went to Hammond, where he first
missed his purse and money and report
ed the robbery to the police.
This makes about the sixth conse-
cutive Sunday that Chicago pickpockets
have visited this region and each fol-
lowing Monday reports have come in
regarding people having their pockets
picked. A good share of the work has
been done in street cars they SEEM
ingly have a better chance to work
without being detected. The police of
the various cities have been keeping a
careful watch of these light fingered
artists. but so far have been unable to
make any arrests.

Bernhardt in playing Camille" for
universal production a photoplay,
has gIorified the motion picture and

the Partisan critics, she, with char
acteristic enthusiasm, cried out to the
director of the Comedie Franchise

won her laurels:

Cotton VoiIe Popular Material for Lingerie Frocks

dress can be made with perfectly plain
lines and very simply and yet be extreme
ly becoming. At present English eyelet
embroidery is very fashionable, and there
is no material more beautiful than cot
ton voile when it has English eyelet de-
signs worked through 1t, combined with
blind embroidery and raised embroidery.
While the lingerie dress has always
been worn, last summer, during the hot
spell, it reached the zenith of its popu.
-larity.
The term lingerie dress" then was
used to designate q white linen or ba-
tiste dress, elaborately embroidered and
trimmed with various kinds Of real lsces.
These dresses were Of unusual value, as
the handiwork formed q large part of
their worth, and they were in the posses
sion of those women who could afford to
indulge in everything that appealed, re-
gardless Of cost.

was Of short duration, for hardly had il

to finish a tunic edge and sleeves. It is
best to have chiffon or etamine voile
backing for the lace, as the design is gen
orally very open. Skirts are made with
two or three cores, but the seams will be
found again in front and back, and the
hens measure more generally two yards
than one and half.
A very good way to use the new wide

and falls in two long sash ends. 1t is
lined, of course, with chiffon. The gown
is made from one of the new wide bor-
dered materials. Old fashioned pufings
and lace rufles finish the skirt below the
border.
One of the most difficult problems Of
season is the tailored suit, whether of
wool, taffeta or linen The tailoring must
be perfect, and this year 1t is hard to find
simple models that have up to date lines.

mondaine Immediately cast her own aside
and began a search for something to re
place it that would have all Of its good
points-with perhaps few in addition.
This was accomplished by substituting
cotton voile to take the place of the thin
materials. 1t was found that exquisite
creations could be made with this mate
rial, and 50 the large dressmaking houses
Immediately offered it to their fashionable
clientele.
One Of the principal charms of dresses
of this type lies in the fact that little or
no trimming is required. A glrdle, either
of silk or velvet. is suficient. Florered
silks and Pompadour effects will be worn
extensively as girdles, which will be
crushed about the waist and then drawn
toward the back to form sash ends.
While the cotton roile dress is in white,
it may have an underdress of contrast
ing color. DARK blue, dull green or rich
purple forms striking background.
