and one must not by any means forge
the possibilities Of silk fringe whel
considering border effects.
Bands of silk fringe, the ends o
which are very deep, are often com
bined with narrow border effects tina
are weaved into the material of the
dress. Again a charming way of util
izing fringe is in connection will
bands of rich lace insertion, the de
signs of which are outlined with silk
threads. OF course all this multitude
of borders that have come in fol
spring and summer gowns means that
the tunic and overskirt are to con
tinue in vogue, for the border is espe'
cially useful in outlining the edges OF
the skirt and waist draperies.
AS to skirt draperies: One of the
leading dressmakers has brought out
during the last few weeks pannier
gown that is extreme in style and far
from graceful in outline. This gown
is usually made of soft satin or silk
and has very scanty skirt which falls
in closely around the feet, while the
panniers, which are plated at each
side of the front, make the hips very
large by contrast. The Paris makers
have a way, especially at this season,
OF bringing in some freak fashion
which detracts the minds of the multi
tude, and especially of rival makers,
from the designs which they are busy
ing themselves about for the spring.
No style which comes out before the
middle of February can be relied upon
to give even the faintest hint of spring
styles, although it must be admitted
that there seems to be little danger or
hope that the styles will change very
1t is probable that new ma
terials which are exclusive with the
best makers are always ushered in at
the beginning of the spring and rail-
seasons, but these can not be for the
multitude which depends upon dress
goods counters until next fall
The story of spring and summer
fabrics for the shopper is pretty well
told now There are many new models
in linen and silk that attract atten-
ticn and will look pretty whenever in
the season they are worn. Particular
ly chic is linen frock showing which
way the sartorial breeze is blowing
at the minute. 1t is combined with
one of the embroidered borders and

them when they were in fashion many
years ago. Not seldom border makes
the underskirt below long tunic OF
makes an entire waist. Buttons are
to continue popular in finishes and
trimmings. And buttons more lovely
than ever are coming in for such uses,
Returning to the subject of fringe,
before finally leaving our talk on bor-
ders, some splendid linen frocks are
made up with fringe combined with
duce the border effect. An example
might be given of rose colored linen
the rage for spring-with a plain skirt
gagged to slightly raised bodice. The
skirt is quite straight in it's lines, and
at the bottom there is a. band of heavy
embroidery finished with a deep fringe
of rose colored linen threads, with the
knotted beading of the fringe quite as
wide as the embroidered band This
fringe does not fall even with the hem
of the skirt, but stops about two inches
from the edge
The waist has band of the fringe
set just about the waistline and the
round neck, which is not too low to
be worn without a guimpe, is also
finished with the embroidery and
fringe The sleeves are trimmed with
bands of embroidery, sans fringe.
Some very dainty new separate
waists emphasize the new border eff
fects and the borders are designed in
such a way that they suggest indie
pendence of any other decoration. One
seems to know at a glance that the
waist is separate affair, with abso-
lutely no connection with any other
part of the toilette and there is moth
ing to expect in the way of connect
ing link between blouse and skirt, so
complete is the pattern of the border
on the independent waist and the
manner in which it is handled by the
best dressmakers.
Cotton voles that are plain, striped
embroidered and bordered are leading
among the incoming cottons. The en-
broidered voiles in allover big eyelet
patterns and in solid designs are sell
ing at from SO cents to SO a yard. If
one is to judge from the Riviera mod
els and the Palm Beach models, which
are their American prototypes, the
popular one-piece short frock is to re-
main the cornerstone of the founda-
ton of women's wardrobes. 1t APP
pears in all the spring and summer
in a host of models conform
ing to familiar types, but each with it's
own individual note.
Belts are details of a good many or
the most successful serges and linens,
and even of the sheerer frocks, kid,
suede, patent leather and leather
frock material all being used.
The leather belt is usually at the nor
NAL waistline and more often narrow
than wide, though soft wide belts of
fine leather are seen in white and in
,olors. Black patent leather, repeat
ng a note of black in buttons, cravat
or hens or frills of black tulle, is the
hing most frequently repeated in the
narrow belts.

erial called ottoman cloth is, as the

Police Protection
Paid Him Well!

New York, Dee 1S.--A story of how
graft alleged to have been paid for
police protection enabled a Raines no.
tel keeper in Harlem to build up such
q business that he finally disposed of
his unpretentious place for $4,000,
was told to the aldermanic investigat-
ing committee, today.
George Sipp. for 10 years keeper Of
the resort, gave the testimony and as
a result of his revelations a police in
spector, two ex-inspectors and a num-
Der of minor officers We're summoned
to police headquarters by Commission
er Waldo. A patrolman named as
graft collector was suspended forth
with.

testified that once a month from 1905
to 1910 he paid to police officers, in
Guiding Eugene Fox, a policeman. 500
in cash Cor the purpose, he understood,
of buying police protection so that
there would he no interference in run
ming his hotel. Fox was described as
the alleged go-between for certain
high police officers.
Confederation of portions of Sipp's
story was given by Thomas Dorian,
assistant manager of the same hotel,
after Sipp sold it for $4,000 to alleg-
ed members of the Vice trust in con-
troll of 81 chain of disorderly resorts
and their inmates. Doran testified that
he, too. paid money to Fox, making
500 month tribute up to and includ-
ing December. 1911, and since then
paid $50 q month. All these payments

again the name of Nanny" Mas, de-
scrihed by Mrs. Mary Goode. the for
mer resort keeper, who testified, last
week. as one of the vice trust"

preached him to sell the hotel.
After disposing of the property, he
stated. he continued to make 800 pay
ments to Policeman Fox, each month,
for a time. Sips interest in paying
tribute after relinquishing ownership
he explained was because he still held
a mortgage on the property. Sipp said
Fox told him the new owners had been
bad actors down town hence the
boss" would not treat directly with
them. but insisted on getting the
monthly tribute through Sipp himself
ASKED whom ne meant by .the boss,
Sipp said he referred to Police Inspec-
tor Sweeney.
Inspector sweeney was among those
summoned to headquarters, tonight
by Commissioner Waldo Former In
