HIGGINS GETS go DAYS.
Jointist's Sentence Longer Because of
His Persistency.

The court handed Bud Higgins a
Jolt this morning when a sentence
of 60 days in Jail and a fine of 500
and costs was assessed in a recent case
in which he was convicted. The SEN
tence was passed by Judge George H.
Whitcomb.
Since Higgins was convicted of
maintaining a nuisance, County At
torney- William f. Atchison told the
court, his place has been raided twice
by the sheriff and once by the police,
and that every time wet goods was
found. He said he wanted the court
to put a stop to such violations by
passing sentence on the prisoner. The
court thought such move a very
proper one, and upon the recommen-
dation of Atchison, handed Higgins
an extra 80 days in the way of a
Jail sentence.

c. A. MCGEE of Kansas City, a pro-

posed to give shares in equal value in
the new company to the holders of
shares in the small companies. His
pan was TO nave no one nOlQ more

IDEA FOR WINDOW DRESSING
Easement Scheme Of Decoration is
One Of the Neatest and Most
Serviceable Possible.

One of the neatest and prettiest
ways of dressing the window of a
room in which it is not desirable to
have flowing draperies is to use the
easement scheme of decorations. For
this purpose there comes a specially
sheer and fine cotton material called
easement cloth through which the
light shines. although the interior of
the room is shielded from outside
eyes, but a similar charming effect
may be produced by cotton voile. by
Chinese or wash silk. none of which
materials is costly. The arrangements
of the drapery is simple. 1t is shirred

Hats which are partly hats and part
ly bonrets seem to be the most sue
cessful among the new models for
motor wear. These hats are very
soft and many of them are made en-
tirely without wire. A crinoline or
rice net foundation gives sufficient
body. Wide braids and silk (the
braids almost as pliable as fabrics)
are very strong and durable and are
used in this class of headwear.
The fad for the strong Hungarian
colors has given us some very novel
and excellent specimens in these mo-
tor bonnets. Bodies are usually made
in gray. taupe, brown or blue, or in
natural straw colors. These durable
colorings are frightened with touches
OF bright red, vivid green and strong
blue. Often a deep canary yellow ap-

DAINTY TRIPLES MEAN MUCH
Careful Dresser Knows Well What the
Accessories Should Be to Com
pIete a Costume.

In many instances it is the little
things that count for more than those
of larger proportions. and women have
long since realized the fact, which ac-
counts for the many furnishes which
they affect. A dainty dash here or a
daring dash there will frequently
make an otherwise unattractive cos
tune most bewitching.
Corsage and muff ornaments are the
popular accessories of the season, and
fashion permits an almost unlimited
choice in these matters.
One of fashions freaks Is the use of
fruits and vegetables for corsage orna-
ments. Holly berries are also seen
and are much prettier.
The new corsage bouquet is a COM
pact bunch of red berries.
The corsage flower should be large;
it may be 9 rose. the poinsetta or the
brilliant poppy. Most of these large
flowers are made of velvet. They

ways. One of the prettiest is shown

over the hat and is drawn in about
