HINT ABOUT WASHING Wells
How White Lace Affairs Can Be
Clean and as Good as New
With a Little Care.

Keep your white lace wells clean by
letting them lay in strong lather Of
white soap and clean water for half
an hour; squeeze and rinse in clear
water. Then rinse twice in weak blue
water
Now pass the veil through water in
which very little raw starch has
been dissolved; squeeze the water
out, and stretch and pin it on a clean
cloth, keeping the edges as straight as
possible. Should the veil be edged
with scallops, fasten each out with
pins, so when 1t is dry the lacy part
will be smooth. When almost dry,
place under a thin cloth and iron with
a warm iron. Roll over a bottle to
keep 1t perfectly smooth when not in
use.

given up, and when the cool days
come and fires are again needed the

LAW SHOULD Be
MADE SIMILAR HERE
Eight Lake County Women
Hurt This Season by
Falls From Motors.

Edwin Smith and Miss Lottie Appoiy
of Sibley street, Hammond, who were
the victims of a lucky motorcycle ac-
cident Wednesday evening on Column
bia avenue when they collided with a
wagon, are reported getting along
nicely at their respective homes this
morning.
This accident swells the number to
a total of eight women victims who
have been injured in motorcycle acci-
dents this season and unless the prac-
tice of allowing women to ride on the
rear seats of motorcycles is stopped
1t is evident that there will be other
accidents.
An Illinois law recently went into
effect prohibiting women from riding
on the rear seats of motorcycles which
from reports has lessened the number
of accidents. Hammond motorcyclists
seemingly have no regard to the speed
law and can be seen daily. tearing
down the thoroughfare with a young
lady on behind.

crowd applauded for five minutes last
evening until she was finally forced
to repeat 1t.
The company is the largest that has
been seen here in tabloid musical COM
edy in some time. 1t Is first class all
the way through. They made a tre-
mendous hit and a good week is as
sured.

mine which would get a divorce COM
plant on file first Charles r. Dyer won
over william H Sickman by minute.
AS result Sickman will have to either
withdraw his complaint or file cross
complaint to Dyer's original COM
plant.
Attorney Dyer worked nearly all
night on his complaint. Sickman's
complaint was his usual stereotyped
form and might have been written in
an hour. The two complaints do not
agree as to the date of the marriage, or
the date OF the separation.
The case IS that OF Julius r. Cook VS..
Minnie Cook. julius Cook is an cleo
trician employed in Gary. Dyer repre-
scented Mr.. Cook and Sickman repre-
sented Mrs. Cook.
Fail to Agree Dates.
julius Cook alleges that his wife and
he were married March 80, 1898, and
separated July 25. 1912. Mrs. Cook al
leges that they were married March ~,
1899, and separated July 20 1912. They
both agree that they have four chill
dren and that the other is unfit to have
their custody.
Cook alleges that in Detroit Mich.
that his wife deliberately witnessed a
very improper act without remonstrat-
Ing or making any move to leave the
room.
He charges that she frequents wine
rooms and says that on one occasion
she and a woman friend. together with
two men. both of whom are alleged to
have criminal records. went into wine
room on Sibley street in Hammond,
where they drank beer together.
He says that he saw his wife give
one of the men $40 in bills which he had
Just given her out of his wages for the
household expenses. He says that he
then attempted TO enter the wine room,
but was prevented from doing so.
Was Innocent.
AS Indicating the character OF this
woman the plaintiff says that one
occasion in his own home she dis
played her hosiery and said that she
| had $50 in her stocking.
| 1t Is further alleged that on one oc-
casion shortly after they separated that
| he heard the window being opened and
some one threw a brick. big bone and
other missiles into his bed with the
| idea of hitting him.
| The plain tiff claims that he got So
| 600 from a personal injury suit. but
| that his wife had spent 1t all excepting
| $4,000. which was put into a house and
lot at LAT Grover street, Hammond.
