The upper and under brim and the

a fine wire covers tie side crown. The
brim is edged with a puff of velvet,

At the back two ostrich plumes in

crown and tied in bow at the front.
These two hats are among those

are something's which the home mil
liner may do, and others that she is

season require the knowledge and IA

make them successfully. But shapes

With the first hint of dawn he was up
again, and Friday noon found him ut

one moment he was raised from the

TWO hats, each in the moderate
I size which this season demands of
stylish millinery. are contrasted here.
One of them belongs to the class
known as tailored millinery, while
the other belongs. to a class desig-
mated as trimmed hats" This dis
tinction means that one Of them is
meant for the street and utility wear,
while the other may be worn on the
street, but answers the purpose Of a
dress hat as well.
The hat of white velour faced and
bound with black velvet could hardly
be more simple than it is. The
narrowest of velvet bands encircles
the crown, finished with little fiat
bow in front, two broad, short wings,
soft and easily adjusted, are placed at
the back, and form the sole trim

The shape is plain, but not at all
stiff. The crown is rather soft. The
brim droops little at each side, and
poke shape. 1t is the flexibility of the
brim and the suggestion of softness in
the crown which makes this shape so
elegant.

AN UNPARALLELED RECORD.

The following dispatch was sent
out from Washington, d. c., one Mon
day soon after the new excise law
went into effect:
THE national capital awakened to-
day to find that during the thirty-one
hours from midnight Saturday to 7
o'clock this morning it had been a
'jagless town. Not one arrest for
drunkenness had been made by the
police in that time, and the police
court docket was a lonesome sight.
The new and rigid excise law passed
by congress was responsible for the
wave of Sabbath purity.
Where are the prisoners? de-
manded Police Judge Pugh when he
assembled the bench and cast his eye
around for the usual Monday morning
array.
There amt none, yer honor said
the bailiff, almost sadly We amt
got SO much as plain drunk
THE record, so far as the police
have been able to ascertain, is UNI

partment."

SILK DRESS FOR
TEN DOLLARS is
EASILY POSSIBLE

- o make a dress as good looking as
i that pictured in the illustration is an
achievement to be proud of. 1t could
not be accomplished except that so lit
tie silk is required for the. present
fashions in skirts. 1t cannot be done
if one must pay for the sewing.
But things were never easier for the
home dressmaker than at present. If
she can sew well and has good ideas
of correct and graceful lines, she can
buy pattern and undertake her own
dressmaking with every assurance of
success.
This does not apply to tailored
gowns, requiring expert and what may
be called professional sewing. But
fancy, visiting and party gowns, there
is no good reason why the home dress
maker should not be able to copy a
good model in gowns of this charac-
ter. Clothes do not fit the figure in
the present modes. They are draped
upon it. These free, graceful lines,
more than anything else, must be de-
pended upon, with proper use of fab
RIGS and color, to make the remark
ably beautiful costumes which have
been designed for the coming sea-
son.
In fabrics yard wide, twice the
length of the figure will make the
dress pictured here. In narrower goods
one must allow from three to five
times the length CT the figure.
Thin and supple fabrics must be
chosen, and one may find satin, mes
saline, poplins, and other weaves sell
ing at dollar or dollar and quar-
ter the yard The width of the skirt
in the model shown is less than two
yards, therefore, twice the length of
the skirt, with an allowance for the
hem, and draping at the knee, is the
requirement of this skirt. AS the
skirt is narrow, it is split at the left
side. A plating of silk, in a contrast
ing color, is let in at the split, and re-
quires a half yard of soft satin This
plating is to be omitted if the dress
is worn over silk petticoat.
The skirt is plain and smooth fit
ting, except for three plaits laid in
the front breadth at the left side seam.
1t is sewed to a low-necked muslin
waist. A plain, thin, corset cover will
make a suitable waist to which to at
tach it.
The waist is made separately, and
put on with an attached sash of the
silk, which is wrapped about the body
and brought up to the left side of the
bust. Here it is fastened in knot,
with hanging end finished with q
little silk pendant.
The waist consists of a plain net
or lace blouse. Across the front OF
this a half yard of satin ribbon six
| inches wide is sewed under the bust
This ribbon is covered with a gal
loon of lace extending around the fig
ure just over the bust

GETTING A DRINK IN KANSAS.

GETTING A DRINK IN KANSAS.
newspaper man who would not
believe that it was so very difficult to
get a drink in Kansas determined to
investigate for himself. He took with
him a friend who, it Is stated, could
find liquor in back alleys, hay mows,
and under kitchen doors" He re-
lates their experiences In humorous
detail in the Kansas City Star; tells
how, after following the trail for ten
hours and forty minutes in the city
OF Topeka they finally ran down an
alley cocktail, and sums up the situa-
ton thus:
Then 1t Is possible to buy liquor
In Topeka? Yes, and it is also pos
sible to rob bank there. 1t is a
crime to sell liquor and it is also
crime to steal, and both crimes are
committed in Topeka and probably
will continue to be. But neither is
committed easily or with impunity
and neither is respectable. AS to the
degree of ease, 1 should say that rob
bling bank would be a much simpler
matter than buying an alley cocktail,
and would involve less risk. A bank
robber can get into Topeka without
having to register his name and oc-
cupation with the authorities. Whisky
can't. Under the Mahin law the rail-
roads are required to certify to the
county attorney every shipment of
liquor laid down in Topeka, the name
of the consignee and his address. It
makes a trail a blind man could fol-
low, and the result Is there is no
liquor shipped into Topeka any more.
What small quantity reaches there Is
carried in by its alley agents and hid
den in out-of-the-way places to reap
pear in the manner I have described
in the shape of alley cocktails.
Which brings me to what l was
going to say about that delectable
drink. An alley cocktail is a half
pint of the cheapest whiskey obtain
able in the barrel houses of Kansas
City diluted with Kaw river water
and artifcially colored with burnt
sugar 1t is then buried under the
chicken house and permitted to age
over night. When you meet a man
on the train who boasts loudly that
the lid IS off in Kansas and that he
can go to Topeka or Leavenworth or
Wichita and buy a drink. it means
he has had an alley cocktail When
he has had two he will boast that he
beats his mother"
