NEW CHAPTER IN

GREEK is FINALLY DISMISSED
AFTER BEING HELD, ON
THREE DIFFERENT CHARGES.

who had been searching for him since
July of this year He was brought
back to Ottumwa and arraigned in
Justice H. G. Nollers court where
charges had been filed against him
by Mrs. Callie Stewart who alleged
cheating by false pretenses in that
Demeter is said to have taken $500 OF
her money and appropriated it for his
own use after he had told her that
he would invest it in Gary, Indiana,
property for her and would return
here and marry her. The defendant
asked for a change of venue and the
case was taken to Justice Berrys
court Here it was twice continued
because of the failure of the prosecut-
ing witness to appear. Finally on
Wednesday morning of this week that
charge was dismissed and the costs
amounting to $316.4O taxed to Mrs.
Stewart.
At the conclusion of this case Dem

answer to a similar charge which had
been filed by G. r. Fletcher. He al
legged that the defendant had been
guilty of cheating by false pretenses

THIEF sNA7CHEs
WOMAN s HANDBAG
MRS. D. B. HOUkE LOSES $50
WHEN MAN GRABS
PURSE.
nation Of Net and

AS a result of having her hand bag
snatched from her grasp by a strange
man at the corner of Timber and
Washingto streets Friday night, Mrs.
D. B. Houke, 901 North Jefferson
street, is minus some $50 and the con-
tents of her purse. The police have
been notified of the robbery and are
doing what they can to locate the
thief.
The daring theft occurred about 8
o'clock Friday evening as Mrs. Houke
and her daughter Miriam with Mrs.
w. B. Wilson and daughter Anna,
1890 North Jefferson street, were on
their way down town.
The women had walked over Lin.
coin avenue to Court street as short
cut down town and turning off Court
on Washington street had reached the
alley or what is known as Timber
street which intersects with Washing
ton just below Court street. The
girls were walking together in adj
vance of their mothers No notice was
taken OF man who stood in the dark
where the streets intersect, until the
girls having passed him, he suddenly
snatched the hand bag carried by Mrs.
Houke with such violence that it
struck one of the girls in the back.
All OF the women screamed from
fright and to give the alarm, but the
thief darted into Timber street which
is quite dark and made good his
escape before aid could be summoned
and pursuit given. The women called
at the Ed Weeks home nearby where
they notified the police department by
telephone.
The hand bag contained three small
purses in which there was an aggre-
gate of $50. A spectacle case and
handksgcLiefs were also in the bag as

circular skirts and models, in which
box and side pleats are introduced, are
becoming popular.
The hip-length suit coat is observed
in several clever styles, and is often
finished at the lower edge with a
broad band of fur. Various types of
long coats show fullness at the hips
and over all, hovers a suggestion of
militarism which will probably mater
ialize later.
The redingote and moyen age styles
so closely allied in design, are to be
seen developed in various combina-
tons of materials. For instance, a
model with redingote of taupe-col-
ored broadcloth had sleeves and the
foundation skirt of self-toned benga-
line. The redingote neck, sleeves,
and hem were trimmed with band
ings of sable fur. Another combina-
ton which was stunning was of brown
caracul cloth and satin.
Tulle, lace and chiffon play an i'm
portant part in the development of
evening dresses and are well adapted
to the various tunics which are worn
over skirts of satin and silk. The
curass, the moyen age, and the redin-
cote styles are all shown in tulle,
Chantilly lace, or elaborate jet en-
broideries combined with satin.
The all-black evening gown is hav-
ing great vogue, for the soft laces
and clinging satins and silks in which
it is developed are vastly more becom-
ing than when the sitter styles held
sway.
Panne and chiffon velvet may be
had in all the newest shades of color
inss, conch-shell pink, oil blue and sea
green, are successful when used for
evening gowns of pronounced simple
ity
The furs of the season are rich and
regal, and conform to the styles in a
manner which evidences the new art
of the furrier. A handsome wrap of
chinchilla was made with faring
lower line The sleeves were large
and at the hands were fulled into a
cuff of the fur At the back was a
cape which rippled. I lifted it, to see
if underneath the cape the wrap was
of fur, and found it merely had wide
band of fur around the bottom attach
ed to foundation of lining.
Caracul and broadtail are favorite
furs for coats. and are trimmed with
fox, dyed fitch, skunk and a new fur
which is called exit fox" A novelty
fur is squirrel, dyed to look like kitten
fur. The thick skin of the fur makes
it dye very successfully and the result
is that we see it made to initiate many
things except itself.
Quite the latest shape in muffs is
the melon-shaped muff. 1t is cut in
melon-like pieces and has frill
around the opening of silk or velvet.
This shaped muff is usually made of
a short-haired fur, like chinchilla, kol-
insky, or mink.
Besides fur, fur-cloth, plush and vel
vet are used for sets of muff and neck
piece and perhaps a hat A charm
ing set for the young girl is made of
velvet, lined with rose-colored satin,
around it. The neck piece is box
pleated ruche of the velvet. also lined
with rose-colored satin, and the muff
is rather baggy in the center and has
a box-pleated) ruche of the velvet at
the openings for the hand.
Monkey fur is having perhaps the

greatest vogue of all furs for trim
ming. 1t is used as fringe around the
bottom of tunics, around the bottoms
of waists, on hats, where it is also
used to cover the entire crown of
hat, looking quite like head of black
hair where the crown of the hat,
should be. 1t is used upon light and
dark materials, upon velvet and broad
cloth, or lace and chiffon impartially.
In one illustration is shown a dress
of blue charmeuse with tlmic of
ecru net having margot edge in gold
thread. At the bottom this tunic Is
finished with fringe of monkey fur.
At the shoulder is bright red rose.
Where the moyen age or basque eff
feet is not used in the. designing of a
gown, the wide girdle is added to give
the effect of the basque. The dress,
the first illustration. shows the effec-
tiveness of this girdle. The waist is
made of net and has a cape at the back
of heavy lace which is also used for
the high collar, wired to flare at the
correct angle The tunic, also of net,
has wide band of velvet around it's
lower edge. The skirt is Of velvet az,
