This corset cover is finished with
scaIoped edges and the embroidery
includes bpits Of the punched work
that is 80 much liked. II is a per-
fectly simple little garment for there
are only shoulder and under-arm
seams, but it can be treated in sew
eral different ways. II can be cut with
a square neck instead Of a round one
and can be made with shield sleeves.
II can be cut off at the waist line and
finished with a smooth fitting peplum.
Women who do fine needle work will
like to emhroider the corset cover IN

YOUNG GIRLS ADOPT
THE PETAL FROCK

With the return Of more ornate ap-
parel styles. simple fiat methods of ar

by the waved coiffure. The very new

the hair to the tip Of the chin.

Of a new satin-face silk so soft and
fine that 1t may be drawn through
the proverbial ring.
The moire used in the gown pic
tured is of exquisite draping quality
the folds of the skirt hanging In love-
ly soft liness The waist is cut away
beneath the bretelle-like inserts OF
rich Venise lace. and there is an up
standing frill Of the lace around the
neck. At the centre-front, just above
the waistline. is applied an intricate
headed ornament in lavender, purple
and tarnished gold. The vest-like ex-
tension, cut in double points, gives a
very attractive touch.
Vividly-colored ornaments, rich
laces and wonderfully beautiful rib
bons are used in the construction and
trimming of many afternoon and
evening gowns.
Never before have there been rib
bons such as we see this year. Pages
can be written about them and the
story would not be half told. OF nov

NO DATE YET FOR
POLICE PROBE ACTION

The Board Of Police Commissioners
have not yet decided upon an definite
plan of action in the matter of the in
vestigaton of the police department in
connection with the Virgins shooting
affair, but are still considering the
mass of evidence before them.
There has been some criticism from
persons WHO do not realize what an
enormous amount Of work the menu
hers have to consider in the case, and
referring to this, one OF the commits
sioners mentioned this morning that
had the hearing taken place before the
upper court and was awaiting a deci-
sion from them. That it would take a
long while for all the evidence to re-
ceive the courts careful consideration,
and he did not think the people
should expect the Police Board to fin
ish the work in a few days. II is ex-
pected that when the commissioners
have thoroughly gone over the evi-
dence. they will hold a special meet
ing to.determine what action they will
take upon the subject.

scallops. causing them TO stand off
from the skirt. Transparent sleeves Of
white chiffon were finished at the el-
bow with double rufle also piped
with the satin to make them bouffant.
On the waist in bolero effect. were
placed two rufies of the chiffon treat
ed in a similar way. The effect was
indescribably lovely, exquisitely, a.riiy
alluring.
A petal frock intended for an older
girl, was less bouffant. Developed in
sea-green satin. it was draped with
two tunics of green chiffon in a
lighter shade. The tunics we're cut in
pointed outline and piped with black
velvet The sleeves had the double
frill pointed and piped with black. but
there were no rufiles on the waist,
which was a simple blouse of green
chiffon over the satin foundation
Carrying out the flower idea, which
was readily apparent, a touch of yell
low was introduced in a knot of satin
at the left side-front
Innumerable charming color effects
are suggested by the flower frock,
which is particularly pretty when
seen in. the new swaying dances.
Debutantes are rushing to their dress
makers with instructions to make up
one or more gowns of this kind as
quickly as possible, and even the
school girl who is not yet out will
have petal dress for afternoon par

Many interesting things for the
little folks are being shown in the
shops. Even little boys are departing
from .stereotyped styles. A we'll
known store is now featuring for
them overcoats of red chinchilla, with
black velvet collar and cuffs. Sug-

Silk materials are being duplicated

Punishment for life to Van Die

escaped to the United States. He

TO FRESHEN COAT LINING
Clever Girl Solves the Problem by
Removing the Lining and WASH
ing II.

At this time of year most every
woman has a white coat lining that
has become so soiled that she hates
to wear the suit, although It is almost
always the lining to ones favorite
coat that suffers in this manner. One
girl who did not feel that she could
spare the money to have the suit
cleaned, or even afford to have Just
the lining cleaned, solved the prob
lem very nicely by washing the lin
Ing. She first basted all the seams to-
gether carefully with white thread,
marking the edge, too, where they
were turned In, at the front. collar
and tail of the coat. Then she care
fully ripped out the lining and washed
1t by squeezing it out in lukewarm
soap suds and rinsing several times
in warm water.
Next II was pressed with a warm
iron on the wrong side, but pressed
under a piece Of cheesecloth or very
thin white muslin so the iron would
not touch the silk and make II stiff
Now, IL the coat was marked before
remoting the lining, to show Just
where the line Of sewing goes. 1t will
be simple matter to put 1t back just
where it was. The entire lining should
be pinned in place before sewing at
all. and IL 1t has shrunken a little,
which 1t will not do If it is all silk,
each edge may be turned In a little
less than. before all the way around
the coat. This is task that requires
great care, but IL one takes the pains
to DO 1t neatly and carefully the re-
suit is eminently more satisfactory
than the soiled lining. that gives such
an undainty touch to the otherwise
most immaculate costume.

STORY OF MEAGHER.
Did Famous General Die as His
tories Relate?
Dramatic Incidents In Life Of Noted
Soldier and Irish Patriot Recalled
by Cory Confession Of Murder
From Montana.

Chicago.-Dramatic incidents in the
life and death of Thomas Francis
Meagher have been recalled within
the last few days by CORY tales from
Montana. First came the confession"
OF Frank Diamond, or Pat Miller.
that among many crimes upon his
conscience was the murder of Meach-
er. Upon sober second thought Mil
Ter repudiated the confession with a
vigor that led witnesses to believe
there was no truth in It, Then came
David NJ. Billingsley-just when we
had concluded that Meagher's memory
might continue to rest in peace-with
the bald declaration that the histori-
ans were all in error. for Meagher
had been hanged by vigilantes and his
body secretly buried.
Thomas Francis Meagher was
born at Waterford, Ireland, August 3,
1923. His father had, enjoyed a for
tune, accumulated as a merchant in
the Newfoundland trade, and for sew
eral years represented Waterford in
parliament. Thomas Francis was
sent to the Jesuit college of Clon-
gowes Wood, County Kildare, when he
was nine years old. He studied there
six years, then entered Stonyhurst
college, Lancashire, from which he
graduated in 1843. In 1874 he began
the study of law at Dublin and soon
after appeared as a public speaker,
scattering fiery oratory for the Young
Ireland party, whose object was to OBJ
tain Irish independence for force OF
arms. In 1S4S he was sent to Paris
with an address to the provisional
government of France from the Irish
confederation and on his return pre-
scented the citizens of Dublin with an
Irish tricolor, accompanying it with
fiery speech which led to his arrest
for sedition. The jury failed to agree
and he was discharged. In July OF
that year the confederation created a
war directory" of five, of which
Meagher was a member With VIII
liam Smith O'Brien he travelled
through Ireland for the avowed pur-
pose of starting a revolution. Meagh-

The market price is established and
remaiEs practically the same each
year. The average weight per goose
of farmers consignment will fix the
price he will get.
For example: A bunch of 80 geese
sent to market averaging 20 pounds
will bring him his 29 cents per pound.
The livers from these geese sell for IS
to Sc dozen in New York City.
The prime bred Africans grow as
large as any variety of geese, are more
active than either the Toulouse or
Embden, and are somewhat better lay
ers; their eggs will average larger and
are more fertile.
They are also more of an ornamen-
tai variety than either the Embden or
the Toulouse, and they are very hardy.
1t is strange that this variety is not
bred more extensively, as there is no
goose that is more profitable.
There seems to be an awakening to
the fact that there is money in rails
ing geese.
Dressed geese sold at Christmas
time this last season for 16 cents per
pound.
Personally, consider the African as
fine an ornamental variety as either
the wild Canadian or the Egyptian
geese.
