Veils Arc Fashionable,

N0No Af0 = aSntonapto.
Decided is the use of the veil, which
gives a chic to a costume that no one
can deny and every one can emulate.
The veil in its new form has come to
stay. 1t has wound itself around the
hats and hearts of the we'll dressed wo-
men who congregate in the tea rooms
of noted hotels and restaurants of the
Bots.
Dainty patterns are the favorites.
The meShes are fine, and the more con-
spicuous they are the better they are
liked.
The patterns are conventional In de-
sign. No longer are there attempts to
simulate crawling lizards, fitting but
terfiies or wriggling crabs. Happily
for the appearance of our faces the
vogue of the naturalistic has died a
we'll deserved death.
Single chenille dots are very small
and appear here and there over a veil.

probably lead to retaliation. Be
ware of the man who shouts 'There IS
no God, -" was the keynote OF the
denunciation.
Meantime the l. w. w have disof-
ganized the schools of the city On
the charge that some of the teach
ers had denounced the I. w. w. lead
ers HAYWOOD and other leaders in
duced the parents to take their chill
dren from the schools, and the other
dav a meeting of 5000 school chill
dren was held to protest against any
reflections on the I. w. w. leaders.
The latter are now planning to send
away thousands of children from
Paterson. Just as they did at Law
renee, in order that the parents
might be better able to remain on
strike. The leaders assert that they
have a list of 5000 families in great
err New York who are willing to take
in the children and care for them IN
til the strike is ended.
The manufacturers are deliberat-
ing about shutting down all the SILK
mills and keeping them closed until
July unless the strikers discard the
7. w. W. leaders. Under no circum-
stances. the manufacturers say, will
they treat with these leaders. Just
what their attitude will be toward
the officers of the Federation OF La
b0r they have not announced.
The strike has badly disorganized
the business of the city. Those on
strike are losing $4,000 a day in
wages. which of course means that
trade suffers to the same extent. EV-
cry tradesman, business man ana
banker feels the effects of the strike,
while many of the strikers them
selves could not exist were it not
for the aid given them by thier or
ganization.
The Jail is filled to overcoming
with strikers arrested for disorderly
conduct and unlawful assembly and
very stormy passions have been
aroused. Leo Mansheimer, Jewish
rabbi, was relieved from his charge
a week ago because, he alleges, OF
his activity in striving to bring about
peace with the manufacturers. This
note is being sounded noisily by the
I. w. w. leaders, who charge that
the manufacturers control the police
and the courts. There is no appar-
ent sign of a settlement in sight, and
the prospects before the business in
terests of Paterson could not be
drearier.

The strong hand of the federal
government fell heavily on the In
ternational Lumber and Development
Company the other day in Philadel-
phia when five of its officers were
convicted on the charge of using the
mails to defraud. There were nine
counts against each of the defend
ants, the maximum penalty on each
of which is five years imprisonment
and the minimum two years. If the
sentence of the court stands, for an
appeal will be taken, each of the
prisoners stands to spend a consider
able portion of his years in the At
lanta federal penitentiary. There
is yet another officer of the company
to be tried and it is possible that
the counsel employed by the swind-
ling concern may also have to face a
jury.
The company was a Darefaced
fraud. The convicted men were
charged with swindling investors out
of $6,OOO,000 by circulating false
and misleading literature through
the mails. 1t vas also proved against
them that they paid $1,500,0OO in

Ono Had Been Found With Whom
spanish Beauty Could COnve"Sa.
ATLANTA.-Jack Slaton's knowl-
edge of French saved an amusing sit

nieht. Miss Licrezia Bcri, the little
Spanish beauty who is the most feted
of all the opera stars this year, had
the place Of honor at the banquet Ia
ole. with Caruso on one side and
Bob Maddox, ex-mayor, on the other.
Caruso devoted most of his CONVERSE
tional efforts to Mrs. Maddox, who
was on his left. Mr.. Maddox began
an interesting and animated CONVEX
sation with Miss Bori, but this lady,
not understanding a single word Of
English, could only smile prettily at
everything Mr.. Maddox said and
crumble up bread crumbs with her
pretty fingers. He could not speak
word of French or Spanish, nor she
a word of English. For five minutes
he stood the situation manfully, but
at the end of that time he decided
that as host it was necessary for him
to circulate around a little to see
| that all the guests were enjoying
| themselves. Miss Bori continued to
| flash her eyes up and down the table
acknowledging the many toasts that
were drunk to her charm and beauty,
but she was without anybody to talk
to- Colonel Bob Lowrey and United
States Judge Newman made heroic
efforts to save the situation, but
"avorte sante" was the limit Of their
I French, and they did not get far.
Everybody was crazy to talk to her,
/ but nobody could Then somebody
had a bright idea and sent for Gov
ernor-elect Slaton, who was at an ad-

the type of man who looks as if he
could speak French, and nobody but
his intimate friends knew that he had
that accomplishment. There was no
little amazement, therefore. when he
leaned over her chair and began the
first real conversation that the Span
ish beauty had with anybody during
the evening.

LONDON-The celebrated lady
of Banbury Cross apparently has set
the fashion for some of the orna-
ments of the present time. Bells for
use on the feet have not ben adopt
ed. but the "clock" on the stocking
is being superseded in Paris by jew
eIed devices from which hang tassels
of pearls and similar ornaments,
which swing with the movements of
the wearer, and there seems to be no
reason why golden bells should not
be introduced.
The attention devoted to footwear
is of course the direct result of the
new skirt, which is narrower than
ever and has to be split to permit
movement at all.
In consequence a distinctive shoe
is looked upon as necessity, says

plantation of the company in Cam
peche, Mexico. They represented
their property in Mexico to be rich in
mahogany and i'll their glowing ltera-
ture recounted vast profits made on
tropical fruits, heniquen and other
alleged products of the plantation.
AS a matter Of fact, there was no
mahogany forests on the property
and the profits from tropical fruits
were purely imaginary Yet on the
strength Of the representations made
by the company swindled the invest
ing public out of $6,000,00O. Per-
sons in all walks of life. from bank
ers and school teachers to servants,
were the victims. Many invested
all their savings and are now stripp-
ed of every cent.
The government considers the con-
viction one of the most important
ever made under the postal laws, and
few more such convictions Will
make swindles of the kind less COM
mon. The men convicted are John
R. Markley, promoter; Isaiah B. Mil
Ter, his partner; Charles NJ. McMa-
hon, secretary and treasurer of the
company; Col A. G. Stewart, di-
rector and commissioner, and Will
liam Armstrong, Jr., general mana
ger. The stock of the company was
sold over the country and in foreign
countries and the number of victims
reaches 1000. The swindle contin-
ued for a period of seven years, and
the swindlers were hard to reach be
cause they associated with them as
benefciaries men who were supposed
to be honest and some of whom had

is COURTESY DEAD?

An incident in which Miss Eleanor
Wilson, daughter of President Wilson,
figured last week is being commented
on by the press all over the nation.
Miss Wilson, while travelling at night
on a train in New England found ali
the lower births in the sleeping ca
taken and was forced to accept an up
per. Her chaperone appealed to seI.
eral men to exchange with her but
they all cody announced that they
preferred to keep their own births. :
The point of this incident is not that
il was the daughter of the chief eXecU-
tive of the United States who was the
subject OF this boorishness, but that
any woman should have been so treat
ed An exhibition of this sort could
scarcely happen in the South, or even
in the wild and woody" west; it has
remained for the allegedly cultured"
East to give an example of selfish dis
courtesy that removes the actors in it
from the ranks of gentlemen.
1t is regrettably true that there is,
even in this section, an increasing dis
position to let women, old and young,
shift for themselves on the trains, but
it is shown TOR the most part by calloW
youths or those who have never been
in contact with the nicer amenities OF
life Hereabouts, a man of mature
years will rarely see woman of am
age or condition stand up while he IS
seated-at least, if he does it may be
set down as pretty certain that he is
not to the manner born. 1t is fact
that has often come under the writer's
observation that those who wear the
Confederate cross OF honor are the
first to offer women their seats and 4
has also been noted that well-groomed
youths and intelligent-appearing boys
will retain their seats while a woman
IS standing right alongside of them.
But, as we have said, these instances
are very rare hereabouts, for which we
are duly grateful
1t has been pleaded in the writer
hearing that when a woman enters the
field of mans activity she should pc
treated as a man-in other words that
the woman who works for her living
has no more claim upon masculin
courtesy than one of his own sex. Such
doctrine shocks the sensibilities of
every man who gives moments
thought to it. The very fact that the
woman is earning her own living-ani
perhaps the bread of a whole family
should constitute the greatest claim on
the homage of a man. Her brave fight
against the handicap of sex (which,
alas, ever carries with it an inability
to demand the same wage as a mani
