cides to Garry Case to Higher
Court.

Alexandria, Va, Jan. 2-City council
at a meeting tonight decided to appeal
the annexation suit. just decided against
the city by Judge Bennett 7. Gordon to
the State Court Of Appeals. The neces-
sary papers will be prepared at once.
The appeal will not cost the city any ad-
ditional attorneys fees.
The appeal will cost. however, between
$1,000 and s.2OO for printing the records
and similar expenses. Fourteen OF the
fifteen members constituting the lower
branch We're present, and all except
Councilmen Brockett and Lambert voted
to appeal.
The appeal was decided upon by coun-
Gil after listening to a clear and concise
statement OF Attorney John NJ. johnson,
who took the floor. before joint ses-
sion of both boards, and summarized
what was done in the case by the attor-
neys representing the city. He recited
the salient facts as set forth by the
Alexandria attorneys before the court,
showing the need of the territory asked
for. including a part of Alexandrfa ana
Fairfax Counties. Mr.. johnson explain
ed that the only expense incident to the
appeal would not exceed sl,Do.
Declares Case Strong.
1t was also explained that the case
should be taken up now before the
higher court or else wait three years
hence. In his judgment, the case pre-
sented by the city OF Alexandria in favor
OF annexation was one of the strongest
ever before presented.
Following the statement Of Mr.. John
son. Councilman Howard W. Smith,
chairman OF the joint committee on the
whole. which had the annexation case
under consideration, reported on behalf
OF that committee its recommendation
that the corporation attorney and his
assistant counsel apply to the State
Court of Appeals for writ of error in
the case.
The resolution was adopted and then
taken, up and passed separately by both
branches of council, the joint session
dissolving after Mr.. johnson spoke.
Corporation Attorney Fisher was present
and his statement regarding the work
done by the attorneys was substantially
the same as that made by Mr.. John
son.
Mayor Fisher submitted a communica-
ton TO city council anent annexation.
He called its attention to the benefits en-
joyed by the residents OF the county
from the city. including gas. electricity,
water, fire and police protection.

was so serious that no one ever came
near him who did not become repealed

ever seen him smile was his mother
When he was baby she used to chirp
to him just to see his face break into
dimples and the roguish look In his
eyes. AS he grew older she found 1t
difficult to produce this effect, and
when he became young man he very
rarely smiled even at her
Ludwig as boy had played with a
little girl. Lena Stieber, whose father
owned the vineyard adjoining Widow
Keisewetter's. As the children grew
older the intimacy became love on Lud-
wigs part. but not on Lena's. She
realized his worth, but could not en-
dure his seriousness. Only once had
she seen him smile, and then she was

PRETTY KNICK- KNACKS FOR CHRISTMAS

The question that perplexes US at
Christmas time more than any other

brings in lot of novelties in dress
accessories, house adornments and
furnishing, jewelry and all the thou
sand and one things that women re-
quire, so that selecting present for
women, or girls is a matter Of choos-

mating novelties displayed in the
shops.
Fashion helps us out this year; such
is the fad for sashes and girdles that

girdles are shown here.
Examples Of all the popular new
ribbons appear in the sashes pictured
here. In Figure 1, a wide, soft, MESA
| line is shown which makes the most
graceful of girdles. This one is in a
deep rose color. The end of the girdler

girdle is boned at the Gods and sides
1t is to be worn with tbs fastening at
ure of the wearer.
Figure 2 is a similar girdle in a.
narrower and heavier ribbon. 1t is a
gay Roman striped affair to be worn
with cloth or other afternoon gowns
and with street dresses. It's buckle
is smaller and an oval form. The end
is turned under, forming three-inch
loop. Very little ribbon is required
for this, about three-quarters of yard
for the average waist.
One Of the prettiest designs is pic
tured in Figure 8. 1t is a plain girdle'
of black satin ribbon having two ends
finished with plaid ribbon. 1t is boned
at the gathered ends and fastened
with hooks and eyes. The plaid rib
bon is machine stitched to the end
with white silk thread
The plaid sash in Figure 4 is one Of
the smartest of the new designs. The
buckle at the waist is made of silk in
the prevailing color Of the plaid and
second smaller buckle fastens the
hanging loop and end together.
A more expensive ribbon is used for
the next model than appears in any
of the others. In Figure a silk and
velvet is shown having a dark green
ground in satin with roses in subdued
colors and foliage in blurred outlines
covering the surface. The girdle is,
laid in loose, irregular folds and
stayed with bones. The shorter end
