faint smile.
"You don't know me-" said
West.

Mrs. Wills onsays she knew
West as doc DANIEL" She gave
a vivid description of the beating
up of Burns.
"a woman companion of the
robbers grabbed Burns by the
hair" she said. THAT prevented
him using his revolver.

a piano stool and kicked him in
the face as he lay unconscious on
the floor.

v
the spring suit this year: coats
are made in lengths to suit the
figure. The stout woman is not
given short coat. while the slight
woman who looks her best in a hip
length jacket may have 1t. While the
short coats are decidedly to the fore,
the hip and the three-Quarter lengths
are shown. too.
AS to skirts, suit skirts, those de-
signed for street wear beneath long
coats or for house wear, all are mar
row, though some are slashed at the
left or at the side. revealing a drop
skirt sometimes most deliberately
trimmed with braid. Others are cut
In the simulated tunic effect.
Summarizing the salient features OF
the spring suit are the following
Ideas: The hipless figure continues.
there is a gradual return OF the nor
nal waist line; the sleeves are three
quarter and full length and usually
set in plain at the armholes: there is
slight increase in skirt width. but
the straight line continues. The suit
jackets vary in length. though the lat
est Paris report is that the tendency
is entirely toward the extremely short
jacket. A great many OF the tailored
suits are semi-tailored; there is a use
OF fabric trimming in form of SELF
covered cords and folds. There is Z
large use of silk. particularly taffeta.
for these demi-tailored models.
Getaway Effects More Popular.
AS the season advances the vogue
for cutaway effects seems to be on
the increase. Many OF the late models
are cut away to an extreme point in
the back and fastened just below the
bust in front. Shopkeepers realize.
however. that a garment of this type
is extremely difficult to wear and they
are modifying these cutaway coats so
as to make them a bit more practical.
The majority OF the cutaway models
shown in the shops are not cutaway
until they come below the waist line.
and then are cut in either round or
pointed effect. both being in favor.
AS trimmings are confined largely
TO the collars, revers and cuffs OF the
suits, these are given a great deal OF
attention, and it is frequently the cut
mars the entire costume. Shawl col
lars are again seen. but in most in
stances they do not have as large
revers as in the last season. The
notched collar and the small revers OF
mannish cut also are seen on many
OF the models and are we'll liked.
Collars and Cuffs Of Null.
Pique. as well as lingerie, collars
and cuffs made OF fine null or batiste
edged with lace also are employed
with excellent effect Most of these
collars are either basted or buttoned
on SO that they may be readily
tubbed. Machine and hand embroi-
derry is used on some OF the suits. but
only sparingly.
In the plain tailored suits the regu-
lation coat sleeve is seen almost en-
urely. In the dressier models they
are making a number OF set in sleeves.
