of the Kanses City Star, has been pro-
nounced guilty of contempt Of court

from Attorney Walsh for tie defense,

pared in advance of the hearing This

as ary time siuce the court had the
facts in it's breast"

New York, FEB. 3--A census taken
recently by those interested in motor
boats and yacht shows that there are
in the waters Of this country and
Canada about 100000 vessels of all
sorts an d sizes. All the large ones
are listed in the proper register or in
the Custom House but there are
many thousand small craft, too small
for listing, which are used on every
piece of water deep enough to float a
boat that will draw a few inches.
These little craftars mostly used for
day outings, and they furnish their
owners with lots Of amusement of the
best kind.
There are 5O7 firms who cater to
these boat-lovers, and of these 240 are
builders of engins, and the others
builders of boats. Some of these con-
Germs are quite large, and do big bust
ness, while others are not.

According to the Dry Goods Econo-

mixtures. The collars, cuffs and revers
are usually of silk, ratine or cloth In
some bright color. On the dressier
numbers lingerie collars and cuffs ara
employed. In most instances these
are made detachable, go that they can
be easily laundered. Belts are fea-

models. Frequently the belt is seen
only in the back section. When the
entire belt Is used it is placed several
inches below the waist line and Is
made of satin, silk or velvet Plain
or crushed broad velvet belts are con-
eidered particularly smart and are
used with excellent effect on bright
colored coats in red, Wilhelmina blue,
tan and rose. Sashes are also being
used in similar manner. These are
frequently in black or OF the same
shade as the coat itself.

The skirt that can be made in two or
four pieces as the width of the material
renders desirable is always a practical
model. The skirt illustrated can be so
cut and adds to that practical feature
other attractive ones. There is an in
verted plait at the center front and one
at the center back and these plaits are
stitched for a portion of their depth and
pressed perfectly fiat for the remainder
Of the way. While there is no apparent
increase in the width of the skirt, these
piaits do allow freedom for walking.
AT each side, there is narrow panel
that allows opportunity for the use of
contrasting material. The skirt is equally
well suited for the coat suit and for COM
bination with blouse to make an entire
costume. Broadcloth with panels of satin
makes a pretty combination and plain
material with plaid is always pretty.
Linen with embroidered banding would
make pretty skirt for the warm weather.
For the medium size, the skirt will
require 45s yards of material 27, "a yards
80 or 25s yards a. inches wide, with $s
