AROUSE public indignation, and
if possible get Capt Clinton dismissed
from the force. His record is none too
savory. Charges of graft have been
made against him time and time
again, but so far nothing has been
proved. To-day he is man of wealth
on comparatively small salary. Do
you suppose his money could have
come to him honestly?"
In another corner of the salon
stood DR.. Bernstein, the celebrated
psychologist, the center of an excited
crowd of enthusiastic admirers.
Alicia approached group of chat
tering women. Each was more elab-
orately dressed than her neighbor,
and loaded down with rare gems.
They at once stopped talking as their
hostess came up.

said Alicia effusively to a fat woman
with impossible blonde hair and q
rouged face. Il want to introduce DR..

"Oh, shall be delighted" smiled

do you think so?" said Alicia,
pleased at the clumsy flattery.
"Your dress is stunning and your
tiara simply gorgeous" raved another.

lightful,'' exclaimed third.
At that moment Mr.. Jeffries caught
his wife by the arm and drew her at
tention to some newcomers. With a
laugh she left the group and hurried
toward the door. Directly she was
out of earshot, the three women be-
gan whispering:

claimed the blonde. s'The cheek of

third.

said the blonde. "She's ambitious

Judge Brewster shook his head
obviously.
mo, sir, we lawyers never rest.
We can't. No sooner is one case dis
posed of than another crops up to
claim our attention. The trouble with
this country is that we have too
much law. If I were to be guilty of
an epigram would say that the coun-
try has so much law that it is prac-
tically lawless."
$50 you're preparing another case,
eh?" said Mr.. Jeffries, interested.
What is it-a secret?"
ooh, mol" answered the lawyer,
"the newspapers will be full of it in
day or two. We are going to bring
suit against the city. It's really a
test case that should interest every
citizen; protest against the high
handed actions of the police"
The banker elevated his eyebrows.
Indeed, he exclaimed. what
have the police been doing now?"
The lawyer looked at his client il
surprise.
why, my dear sir, you must have
seen by the papers what's been going
on in our city of late. The papers
have been full of it. Police brutality,
illegal arrests, assaults in station
houses, star-chamber methods that
would disgrace the middle ages. A
state of affairs exists to-day in the
city of New York which is inconceiv-
able. Here we are living in a civil
lied country, every mans liberty is
guaranteed by the constitution, yet
citizens, as they walk our streets, are
of terror-stricken Russia. Take po-
lice official of Capt Clinton's type.
His only notion of the law is brute
force and the night stick. A bully by
nature, man of the coarsest instincts
and enormous physical strength, he
loves to play the tyrant In his pre-
cinct he poses as kind of car and
fondly imagines he has the power to
administer the law itself By his
brow-beating tactics, intolerable un-
der Anglo-Saxon government, he is
turning our police force into gang
of rufians who have the city terror
stricken. In order to further his polit-
ical ambitions he stops at nothing.
He lets the guilty escape when infiu-
ence he can't resist is brought to
bear, but in order to keep up his rec
ord with the department he makes ar.
with ho Ill ,nfi Ann
ton. To secure convictions he manu-
features, with the aid of his detec-
tives, all kinds Of perjured evidence.
To paraphrase well-known saying,

fries. mo one can approve such
methods. OF course, in dealing with
the criminal population of a great
city, they cannot wear kid gloves, but
Capt. Clinton certainly goes too far

Perhaps you are going to get some
new curtains for the windows this
winter. SO as to give the room an ad.
ditional touch while putting them in
order for the winter. II you are won.
dering what kind to select. here are
a few hints which may help you.
There is great deal Of art in hang
ing window curtains correctly. En-
tirely different shape and hanging Is
required for long, narrow windows
from that given to the wide cottage"
window. The latter may have lots of
dainty plaits and frills. while the
former is very formal. If the draper.
les are thin and ruffied they may be
looped back. for If they hung straight
they would have an unfinished appear.
ance. Place the loops holding the
curtains back high up. If you wish
the curtains to look graceful. unless
the rufies are very scant. Where two
sets of curtains are used the under
ones as rule do not come below the
sill. When such is the case the loop
comes four or five inches above the
top line Of the bottom sash. But II
the under curtains hang to the floor
the loop is placed very low. just OPP
posite the sill. If curtains that come
just below the sill are used and ruffles
placed along the edges these must be
twice as full as the usual rufae If
they are to look pretty and graceful
Less than that makes them look scant
When the curtains are looped back
the outer edge is pulled out little.
giving it slightly scalloped effect in
stead of a sharp drawn back effect.
Do not put any more dressing into
such draperies than is required to
give them little body or they will
hang stif1y and awkwardly.

FOR
Mothers
cIothss sunaIestionlIIsI,

The fancy for frocks. OF two fabrics
Is one that the little house mother who
has to nurse carefully a minute income
finds quite invaluable. Small girls grow
out of their garments, and, no matter
how delighted one may be to see the
children growing big and healthy, there
is another aspect not to be neglected,
which is almost equally appalling. The
sleeves run up the little arms, the skirt
stops short at point which mammas
strongly disapprove, and the waist be-
comes tight enough to suit a fashion
able young lady instead Of an ener-
getic schoolgirl.
Happily at present two small frocks
may be made into one large, II needs
be, or piece Of new material may be
ingeniously incorporated with the dress
that has become too little for its wear
er. =
In the former case take one Of the
frocks to use as the under robe and,
having unpicked and ironed 1t, use the
lower part Of the skirt mounted either
plain or tucked upon a foundation.
The upper part of this same skirt will
make the top Of the corsage and
sleeves. From the second frock cut
away the bodice part and lift up the
skirt so that it forms q corselet and
tunic; cut round foot and hem in wide
scallops. II there is not enough ma
terial the upper part above the waist
line may be cut from the sleeves.
If fresh material Is used either the
new part may make the tunic and
bodice, while the old is utilized for the
hem, the collar. the belt and sleeves,
or vice versa, vest or plastron being
introduced to relieve the. tightness of
the corsage. A striped or spotted ma
terial should be used to go with the
old fabric. and with this novel trim
ming the little girl will feel as If she
had quite new frock.

reach Children Care OF Mails.
If the little girls finger nails are filed
for her once week she may easily be
taught to otherwise care for her hands
and nails. Children should be taught
that the care Of the hands is neces-
sity. Many persons think that the
hands Of child do not become soiled
as much as those of an older person.
But they do; indeed. more so. The
hands, although washed frequently, are
not cleansed any too often. The school
books. pens. pencils, papers or toys
they handle are frequently covered
with tiny germs, and no mother makes
mistake who impresses upon her chill
dren the importance of bodily cleanli-
ness. After a few months practice
with young children habits Of cleanli-
ness should be, SO well established that
!! the mothers care can be lessened by
having each child do as much as she
can herself. the mother thereafter max
ing an inspection.
Every two weeks young child
should have her hair and scalp thor
oughly shampooed. And If at any time
the little one should be so unfortunate
as to have her head infected as the
result of too close contact with child
whose head and hair are not clean
keep the little one home from school
for week. Purchase tincture of lark
spur from any druggist. saturate the
head and hair the first evening and
wrap up the head with an old towel to
protect the bedclothing. The next day
champoo the head we'll with CASTLE
soap and warm water. The third day
to make sure all destruction has taken
place. saturate the head once again.
and on the following day give the head
another general shampoo.
