A Maine lawyer when in Boston re-
Gently told The Herald something of the
inside political history of the sensational
Hackett murder case. The murder was
committed seven years ago, but the evil
dence against Mrs. Raymond was only
circumstantial and neighborhood gossip,
and the Kennebec county authorities re-
fused to bring her to trial, as there was
no prospect of convicting the suspected
woman. The case figured in county
politics and is said to have been one OF
the reasons the defeat of the Republic
can county officials for reelection.
When the Democratic officials took office
they moved in the matter to show that
they could succeed where their prede-
cessors had failed, with the result that
after a trial costing the county many
thousand dollars Mrs. Raymond was ac-
quilted, as the officials of seven years ago
had foreseen she would be.

They carried it downstairs. and Miss
Gray pointed to one Of tne plates in

she.
The village dressmaker entered into
their plans with enthusiasm. Fortu-
nately, she was one of those elect
dressmakers who know how to fit.
When finished the coat looked much
like the one shown here. The brocade
was combined with plain satin and all
over lace. The deep collar, the cuffs
and the wide band about the outside
of the coat We're of the plain satin.
Lace was laid over the satin of the
revers and was set into the very full
sleeves. A big wooden button was COW
cred with satin. and bands Of the plain
satin were gathered over cords to make
a trefoil for the front of the coat. The
button fastened the coat by slipping
through one of the loops of this orna-
ment.
And Dolly only smiled when Daisy
exclaimed at sight of the wrap:
"Oh, my dear, where did you get that
perfectly stunning thing? | saw one

Dolly could afford to smile. for
madame was the most fashionable

Shampoo the hair with soapy water

the hair is still damp plat the parts
that need to be waved in tight braids.
or else put them up in thick locks
over hairpins. If mere fufiness is de-
sired dress the hair loosely while
damp, fiufing out the front with the
fingers.
Another method is to moisten the
hair with strong tea or aromatic vine
gar, In which about ten grains Of car
Donate of potash to half pint Of the
tonic have been dissolved. -..
There are some bandoltnes and
mucilaginous fluids which will aid in
keeping the hair in curl. 1t is bad to
use these constantly. as their tendency
is harmful to the hair structure When
used only occasionaliy-say two or
three times month"; curling fuid
il not greatly injurious. IT,.
The hair may be moistened with the
