II a piece of elastic is used to lace

the ordinary lace, wearers will find
great ease, as the elastic expands

making them wear much longer.

A pretty way to make the summer
nightgown-if one likes to fashion
such garments at home-is to start
the gown proper below the armholes,
making the yoke and kimono sleeves

Of the short sleeves with a ribbon run

ETON AND B0LER0 JACKETS
Both Are Short, deliberately Trimmed
and FanelfuIIy Cut, Is the Edict
of Fashion.

The new jacket suits are really
novel. In an indefinable way some of
them suggest the Elton and bolero;
others more than hint of the cutaway.
All are comparatively short, great
deal trimmed even though the skirt
is plain and more or less fancifully
cut. A number of box effects are
catalogued, and these, too, show much
originality. The severe, mannish coat,
for the first time since its introduc-
ton, seems to have no real standing,
though it may attain C prestige before
the summer is on as a foil to the
novelties.
A box coat with q skirt OF simple
drapery, making together a model that
has appealed very strongly to those
who have seen It, was made up In
the original as follows: Serge in one
of the new brownish tones was the ma
terial and color, and there was, first.
a foundation banded at the foot with
cotton corduroy, It banded in turn
narrowly with the serge. Over the
two was hung the tunic, the two edges
crossing diagonally in front just above
the corduroy and its foot landings,
which show merely as an inset.
The coat has plain side sections that
close over front and back that are
cut straight, but have what fulEess

TO CREATE THIRD JUDGESBIP.
Additional Office for Fourth Circuit.
Wilson FavOrS Woods.

Washington, April Pit is rumor-
ed here today that an understanding
has been reached that the judiciary
committee Of the senate will next
week report on bill creating a third
judgeship in the fourth judicial cir
cult of the United States, which is
now one of the very few circuits with
only two judges, and that Chairman
Clayton, of the house judiciary COM
mittee, has promised that the meas
ure shall be likewise e;orted in the
house at the earliest possible moment
The understanding is said to be that
if this bill is pushed to adoption Rep
resentative John w. Davis, Of West
Virginia, will be appointed to the va
cancy in the fourth circuit caused by
the election of Judge Nathan Goff, to
the United States senate, and that
Associate Justice Charles A. Woods,
of the South Carolina supreme court,
will be appointed to the additional
judgeship.
President Wilson is said to have eX-
pressed himself as decidedly inclined
to appoint Justice Woods to the cir
cuit bench, but is willing to appoint
REPRESENTATIVE Davis also if a posi-
ton is available. Mr.. Davis cannot
be appointed to the new place be-
cause the law prohibits the appoint
ment Of any member Of congress to
fill a position created while he is
member.

MATTER NOT
CAUSE OF ANIMUS
IIl-Will OccasiOned by Peabody Incl
dent-GOvernOr BleaSe Makes
Correction.
Columbia Record, 18th.

Columbia Record, l2tn.
An error crept into the report in
the Columbia Record yesterday of the
results of the investigation into the
statement of Governor Blease that it
had been said DR.. S. C. Mitchell, pres
ident of the University of oSuth Caro-
lima, had introduced a resolution into
faculty meeting to the effect that
the diplomas of the graduates of the
university should not be sent to the
chief executive for his signature.
One of the paragraphs of the article
read:
cat the meeting Of the board of
trustees in the governors Office some
time since when Governor Blease in
troduced the resolution which he
alone voted for, that the resignation
of DR.. Mitchell should be requested,
he ASSIGNED as a reason for his ami
mus to Dr. Mitchell that he was in
formed on reliable authority that the
university head had presented such
a proposition to the faculty. On mo-
ton of Mr.. Swearingen, a committed
was appointed to examine into the
charge"
Governor Blease denies that he has
any animus against DR.. Mitchell for
not prese nting him with the diplomas
for his signature; that the only
grievance he entertains against the
head Of the university is for the sign
ing the Peabody resolution that was
investigated some time ago.
In this connection, Governor Blease
said:
81 am fighting Mitchell because ne
is in favor of taking the white peo-
pies money to educate negro teachers,
and I propose to keep fighting him
until he comes out of that college, re-
gardless of circumstances. I
care nothing about signing the dip'o-
,ras. as I stated to the board, and
care nothing about signing them this
year"
