STYLES IN PAJAMAS

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-There are
women who like to dress for the gaze
of the multitudes, but when it comes
to the privacy of their own apart
ments, think that ANY old thing"
will do. But there is another kind
who like to feel the well being-the
solidity-of being well dressed at ali
times, if it be in the boudoir or at
church. 1t is this last kind of woman
who might be termed well balanced
good dresser The first loves good
clothes for the sake of those who ad-
mire her, and the other loves them for
her own sake. BY this one the con-
struction of a proper dress for morn
ing wear is given as much consider
alton as the dress she wears to the
exclusive reception. He lingerie may
be counted upon as being dainty and
beautiful, but more practica l than
her neighbor's, who buys for show
alone, regardlece If wearing qualities.

decoration. One very pretty square
vas plaided in quarter-inch squares,
with a fine ratine cord. Another
very pretty fabric, called echilyn, has
long and short drawn-work bars scat
cred in groups of three over the
wolfe background
White crepes and crinklettes are
icing used to make up lingerie, espe-
cially for the traveller or business
woman, but the housekeeper should
not fail to see the advantages of
these webs, as they are great labor
savers, needing no starching or iron
ing.
Chemise and combination suits are
made of the softest batiste, with a
tiny embroidered figure in pale pink,
blue, or lavendar. One extremely
pretty chemise is trimmed at the bot
tom with several net ruffies about
two inches wide. This Is called the
tango chemise, because of the slashes
on either side, as it Is too narrow to
lance in otherwise.
In the tiny shops on side streets,
Just off Fifth Avenue, are the places
where ultra effects in lingerie may

fitting gowns should bring the prin-

carded for a chemise of the softest
crepe de Chine or Italian silk, having
4 ribbon drawn through the hem and
confining 1t closely to the knees.
Md, will you believe it? another
form of pantalettes is having quite a
vogue. They are supposed to take
he place of a petticoat, and are
usually made of chiffon, fastened to
fancy garters and worn just below
The knees and as long as the skirt.
These are most attractive when worn
with a slashed skirt.

The cotton fabrics used for house
dresses are being shown in a wider
variety, as the stores are commenc-
ing to exhibit materials for the South
ern resorts, and incidentally for our
own practical needs.
Ratines and crepes hold the princi-
pal place and are to be found in num-
erous. guises-or, perhaps, it might be
termed, DISCUSSES.
Brocaded effects are seen in every
thing from cotton flannel, to velvet
broche wolfe. Linen frabrics with a
design not unlike that upon our dam
ask tablecloth, are shown In all the
popular colors.
Nota Bene-If you have linen
tablecloth you are not using, just dip
it into the dye-pot and you will have
most up-to-date material for dress
especially if you make It up with the
border around the bottom of the

One extremely pretty cotton house
dress is pictured in Fig. /. The ma
terial is a novelty madras which looks
like firm though loosely-woyen lawn,
with alternating ratine strip of black
and lavender. The waist has raglan
sleeves, with the tucks on the waist
ending at the line of the sleeve. The
collar and cuffs are Of plain lavender
linen. The skirt is very simple, as

Michael Tweit, after walking the

Miss Mamie Shanahan, returned last
night to his country home in the
town Of Medo. He did not locate
the girl in the mill city or anywhere

Tweit passed through Mankato on

in the evening. While the train re-
malned at this station here, he was
interviewed by Sheriff Osten, Deputy
Nerdahl and a representative Of the
Free Press. He was not in a very
communicative mood, and was not
quick to reply to the questions put
TO him by the trio. He said he and
Constable Johnson had searched all
day for the girl, but their efforts
were in vain. When asked where
Johnson was, Tweit replied that he
had remained in Minneapolis to o n
tinue the search and did not know
when he would be home.

Before taking the last step. Mr..
Wantz wrote a long letter 10 w. II.
Gold, in which he. expressed his ex-
IRENE self-disgust and admitted he
was powerless TO overcome his own
weaknesses. He also wrote to rela.

OF the children and arranging bust

cared for by the relatives of their
parents, Mr.. Wantz' father, a man OF
considerable wealth being willing to

Mr.. WantZ came to Redwood coun.

Later he returned to his former
