MAIL ORDER HOUSES.
CFrom the Mortified News.


At this time OF the year the homes are
flooded with catalogues from the large
mail order houses. 1t is no wonder that
many people send to these mail order
stores for various articles, because their
goods are so attractively described that
you really believe you are getting a five
dollar linen gown for dollar until you
receive the goods-then you have no re-
course, you simply keep the thing and
think "stung." though you may not say
1t.
Patronize your home merchant; you
will find he can sell you good goods just
as reasonably as the large mail order
house puts out and you are lit" If you
hundreds of catalogues the mail order
house put out and you are 'it." II you
are customer Of one of these big de-
partment stores, take what you have sent
for to one of the local merchants and

price or less.
When you send to mail order houses
you are not only disloyal to your mer-
chant, you are dsoyal to your town and
to the State. Keep your money at home

CHIC FRENCH TRICKS.

Here are one or two clever little tricks
by means of which French woman ac-
complishes the chic of the famous artist,
and makes her home made gown look
like the work of the world famous house
instead of her own nimble fingers. In
looking at Paquin Doucet or Poiret
model, a French woman does not try to
copy the entire gown. In fact she steers
clear of intricate draperies and folds.
She notices the sleeve, the cut of the
neck. whether high or low. V-neck or
square; whether the waist blouses at the
girdle, or Is drawn in snugly; whether 1t
Is pushed to the sides. leaving the center
plain, Then she remembers II the skirt
be gathered or gored into the belt, If It
appears narrower at the foot than the
knees, and If this effect be accomplishe
by inverted pleats held In at the foot by
buttons or stitches, or II II be cut and
gored narrower. All these details are
easily observed II one has them in mind,
and they are the important items that
make or mar the style Of a gown,
The bead work that is being used so
much on the imported gowns may be
copied by the home dressmaker, If she
will just study the kinds OF beads that
are used on these gowns and buy that
kind, String tho beads on a double thread
and sew them onto the gown by taking
a stitch between each two beads with an
other thread. Do not try to string and
sew the beads with the same needle and
thread or the work will look very ANA
teurish.
A French trick Is to form a design on
chiffon and outline It In embroidery silk
: in one or two colors. then instead Of en-
broidering the centers, paint It with very
thin gold paint very carefully. The effect
Is charming and only close inspection will
detect the ruse.

som etimes Joined together, in the ex-

many, either through boss or selfish
injurious interest control by naming
candidates and practically placing
their agent in public office, or by
other means now known to all. True
patriots must sympathize with and In
some localities help prevent the APP
pointing of grand and other juries by
those interested in law breaking; we
must overcome the strong tendency to
distrust our courts, AMI IL any reasons
exist for distrust, remove that reason.
We must stop the adoption of ordi-
nances and laws which are not really
laws in some cases, but which are
rules of the game under guise of law
for exploiting the many by the few.

Yesterday afternoon was devoted to
the examination of three witnesses put
on by tic state Two Of these gave i'm
portant testimony relative to the cir
cumstances surrounding the alleged
murderous assault in Field : restaurant
the night OF Aug. 9 and both were
subjected to sharp cross examination
by counsel for the defense. The
questions asked by Richards 5 attor-
neys led to the belief that it was the
intention OF the defense to undertake
to show that Field died as the result
of injuries sustained in an alteration
with his wife and that one Of the
state : chief witnesses, George T..
Lawrence, was influenced in his testi-
monv by fondness for Mrs. Field and
q consequent desire TO put the guilt on
the shoulders Of the respondent The
/ trend of the piercing crosse examination
OF Lawrence. conducted bv MIR. Molo-
ney, also indicated that the lawyers
who are retained bv Richards had kept
/ a very close watch on Lawrence since
! the time Of the alleged murder and
would do everything within their pow
er to impcach his testimony.
Much of the afternoon was devoted
to the examination and cross-cNaminl-
I tion Of Lawrence. At the end Of the
ordeal to which he was subjected his
story of the assault remained uushakcu
in its principal features although he
had contradicted some of the testi
mony which he gave at the preliminary
hearing before Justice O Brien and ha,
admitted that he was friend OF
MIS- Field.
When court convened at 0 'cioct
eight state witnesses were sworn an,
then sent to one of the anterooms t.
remain until it was time for each tC
Testify. Those of the witnesses fol
the defense who were present ais,
were sent from the court room.
