NO STRICT RULE FOR SASH
Many Styles, All Correct Allow
Wide Choice in the Arrangement
of This ACCESSORY.

While there are many styles OF hip
sashes to wear with the summer
dresses, there are also new styles in
the conventional sash belt with long
ends. Such sashes are generally made
with folded ribbon and are about four
inches wide laid in soft plaits. The
belt does not tie at the back. the ends
are plated in the same fashion and
start in a parallel manner from over
the top, falling straight down. Each
end as it falls is caught against the
belt by tiny wreath of small pink
satin roses. The sash ends are cut
in a scallop, and the curved edge trim
med with the same tiny roses that are
on the sash,
Another folded sash ribbon with
separate ends, has crayat bow posed
over the fastening at the back, the
ends pointing up and down. The two
long ribbon streamers are caught to-
gether near the ends with a smaller
cravat bow.

Five Families In sinoIe Room.

Five families living and sleeping in
one room were recently discovered
among tie slums of Dudley, Worees-

Southwell, who apparently possesses
an intimate knowledge of the districr.
the occupants were all quite comfort
able until the arrival of the chan in
the center of the room" Then the
happy family circle was broken IN.
Five families and a ledger in one
room is really overstraining the
economic possibilities of sluml1m.
Two and three families in one house
are common enough to agitate the
public mind. even in this age OF hous.

disappointment. The dispersal OF the
card-players was, as anticipated, easily

hope of resistance. But instead he
had proven a perfect lamb Hamlin
crossed his legs and waited, his mind
divided in wonder between what Miss
Mcdonald might want, and the cow

The man was actually afraid-afraid
to start a row. Yet he had got to his
feet with that intention: it was only
after he had looked into Haml1n's
face and asked his name. that he be.
gan to hedge and draw back. Could
he have recognized him? Could Mrs.
Dupont have warned him of danger in
his direction? That would seem i'm
possible, for the woman had not been
with him for even a minute since their
conversation. She had given him
swift signal at the door of the dance
hall, but that could scarcely account
for his present desire to avoid trouble
An engagement? Probably with Mrs.
Dupont. But what was the use OF
specializing? Perhaps when the girl
came she would have some light to
throw on these matters Surely her
sudden determination to see him pri.

JIM JAM JEMS JURY.

Bismarck, March pa jury was
finally secured in the trial in federal
court of Messrs. Clark and Crockard,
publishers Of Jim Jam Jems. 1t
required nearly all day yesterday to
secure the jury. Twenty-eight can
didates were questioned, and were
men from all parts Of the state.
There was only one man who had
never read any Of the issues of the
magazine. The efforts Of the prose-
cution were confined to questions to
show that the magazine was shipped
monthly from state to state by ex-
press, to show the interstate charac-
ter of the business. Attorney En-
gerud for the government said they
did not intend to try to prove that
the entire publication was of an OBJ
scene nature, but that there were ar
ticles of that kind in each issue. 1t
is understood that the attorney for
the defense will argue that the pub
locations are not obscene, as charged
in the indictment.

CONDEMNATION PRO-
CEeD|NGS FOR n. P.
SPECIAL TERMS OF DISTRICT
COURT WILL BE HELD FOR
THAT PURPOSE.

Judge J. A. Coffey of the Fifth
judicial district, has been requested
by the Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany to hold term of court in Lo-
gan and LaMoure counties for the
purpose of hearing certain condem-
nation proceedings brought by the N.
P. company to secure right of way
for their extension of the Edgeley
line to the Missouri river. A spec
ial term will be held soon at Napo-
leon and LaMoure for this purpose,
and it is probable that considerable
business of this nature will be
brought before the court.
It is understood that the n. P.
expects to commence the Edgeley
line at once and hopes to finish the
same for use this fall. According
to the latest state map the line will
run west of Edgeley about six miles,
then northwest about the same dis
tance, and thence westward follow
ing the Beaver Creek valley, cross
ing the 500 line at Burnstad, in Lo-
gan county, running thence about
six miles due west and turning
sharply southwest following the
course Of the Beaver creek to Linton
which is the present terminus of the
Mckenzie line. From Linton the
road will run west about six miles,
and then northwest to the crossing
at the Cannonball, where it will con-
meet with the Mandan-Mott line.
Judge Coffey left for Darlington
today to finish a term of court in
Foster county, and Monday March
II will hold a term in Eddy county
to complete the jury term, which was
held there several weeks ago, when
the jury was excused with the un-
derstanding that it would be recalled
to finish up the term. ..
