Detectives Are Hard At Work
Strengthening Case Against

While the children of Mrs. Caro-

The officers feel that they won the
first sharp skirmish since Mrs. Beck

Chemist Clark reported that the
stains on the bills taken from an
old shoe In Mrs. Becker's home, were
blood, and not red dye, as Mrs.
Becker claimed.
They are now waiting for Chemist
Clark's report OF his analysis OF
stains OF blood from various parts of
the Bomholt home, and il Is regard
ed as possible that the report OF the
chemist will indicate whether the
blood on the bills, and the blood
found at the scene OF the crime, Is
from the same source
In the event that analysis shows
this, such link of evidence would
be most important.
The detectives are questioning all
witnesses, and piecing together the

They declare that they have a mass
OF corroborative evidence, but do not
want to make IL public until II is
offered In court.

Becker. and feel that we can prove
her guilt without a shadow OF
doubt" says Detective Reid.
Mrs. Becker was plainly discom-
ited when told that Chemist Clark
had reported that the bills were
stained with blood and not dye.
She had asserted in the most posi-
tive terms that the stain was dye,
and insisted that the stain seen on
her forehead was from the same
source as the stains on the bills.
When confronted with DR.. Clark's
report, Mrs. Becker said: "It can't

Premet's basques are long in them
selves, but other waists are lengthen-
ed In effects by folds Of a wide sash or
er0ss-over bands, which are much the
fashion, and also by the fitted. yokes
OF the new skirts. The basque model
which has the fabric laid in tucks is
good style. especially when worn with
3 long tucked tunic.
or course II is easy enough to see
that the baggy kimono sleeve would
be quite out Of place with the fitted or
semiftted bodice; in fact this type
of waist has made the kimono sleeve
take its first retreating step.
The sleeve set in the arm hole Is
here. It is long and tight, fitting with
no fitness at the top. Sometimes It
shows a bell flare at the wrist, and
sometimes II buttons straight from
the shoulder to the hand.
The raglan sleeve has, however, not
started to retreat. 1t is shown in
many of the cloth and silk frocks es-
pecially those made or combination
fabrics. For instance, darke blue
gabardine dress would have the raglan
sleeve and the underskirt of black sat
in. II it was very conservative, or Ro-
man striped duyetyn If it wanted to be
q bit gayer, while the body portions Of
the waist and the long tunic would be
made of gabardine.
Dress waists and tailored and semi
tailored coats will show sleeves set
into rather large arm hole. two in.
ches larger than the normal for the
dress waist, and three inches for the
coats. A number of everyday dresses
win be made with bishop sleeves.
The high collar is making hard
fight to come back, but 50 far the ma
jority of the new gowns win show the
throat and neck. The v shape and
the round and square necks are
all in favor with odd, very high, roll
ing collar effects at the back and sides.
The fact that both Paquin and
Worth favor the cape assures its
success. There viii be blouses with
filmy cape-like draperies at the back,
caught in just trifie at the waist

SUFFRAGE PIE is
MADE A FEAT URE

Those who have opposed suffrage on
the ground that "the hand that
stamps the ballot loses its cunning
eddy notice with pleasure that. those
who are active in the work In Chicago
evidently have no idea of giving up
practical household duties, as evid-
enced by their establishing a suffrage
shop. Lunch is served at noon, with
suffrage pie as one of the prominent
features of the bill of fare, for they
are wise In knowing that this will
please the men whom they want to win
to their side, not only for their votes
and influence, but as their patrons to
increase their sales and bring in more
money for the cause. The suffrage pie
is made in the suffrage colors-lemon
filling with white meringue It is
said to be just as good as the akind
mother used to make" and it Is af-
firmed that the women of the nation
will keep on making it long after they
become active in politics.
It is claimed that the political pies
have been man-made and man-man-
aged long enough-that feminine skill
and conscience would be enabled so
add more of the pure food sort. and
that women are Just as capable of hay-
ing hand in the political pie as IN
these made of lemon and apple.
The suffrage shop is but one of the
activities of these women who are
working for the cause. Another plan
which they are working on now is a
big peace parade. The Women's CITY
Club of Chicago has invented a fy-trap
with the significant words, Votes for
Women"

SILVER BEADS
NOW M VOGUE

Several seasons back no one was
considered quite smart who did not
possess a string Of solid gold beads.
Just at present the fashion for beads
of precious metal has been revived,
but instead OF being gold the beads
are sterling silver. They are very
beautiful, though very plain.
Most Of them are avout the size Of
French pea, and they are strung upon
fine silver chains Of woven wire, that
are very strong. A few Of the beads
depart from simplicity and are 6li-
gree in design. Those which the ma
jority of smart women are wearing.
however, are perfectly plain, and have
a high ulster.
The bead chains are quite short, be-
ing pretty much the length OF the old
fashioned necklace, and but sufficient
1y long to avoid an appearance Of aWk-
wardness when worn about the throat.
