doc ORDINANCE IS
PRONOUNCED VALID

City laws prohibiting dogs from
running at large were declared valid
| in decision handed down BY Com
missioner Dillon Wednesday. The
decision was the result of a suit
brought by Ed Wickersham against
Robert Day as poundmaster to test
the validity of the city ordinance
Mr. Wickersham is considering an
appeal of the case to the district
court.
1t is the opinion of Commissioner
Dillon that the city not only has
the right to prevent dogs from run
ming at large on the streets, but
that the municipality may also i'm
pound dogs outside of the city lin
its, provided they are found run
ming at large within the city.
The ordinance prohibiting dogs
from running at large on the streets
was deemed necessary for public
protection, as there had been several
instance of attacs made by dogs
on women and children. The or
dinance, however, met with c9nsid-
cradle opposition from dog owners.
Among those who opposed the pas
Gage VI inc VI ulHdiSe was NIL " lCh-
ersham, who declared that the coun-
Gil had no legal right to pass such
law. The test case by Mr.. Wicker
sham, which was to regain posses
sion of dog belonging to him, was
fled Nov. 20.
In his decision Commissioner Dill
Ion said in part:
That dogs, while running at large
upon the streets of a town or thick
ly settled community are a nuisance
and a menace to the safety of the
people may hardly be questioned,
think.
while dogs are not all vicious, it
is known that some of them are;
and. in addition, it may be said that
they are often subject to disease
end one of the most terrible known
to the human race-that of rabies;
and that when affected by this they
are prone to attack every living thing
with which they come in contact"
The decision also called attention
to the pilfering habit of dogs and
declared that the ordinance was justi-
fled.

PRETTY NEGLIGEES

Never We're negligees more fascin-
ating and elaborate, but the busy wo-
man land who is not busy these
days?) welcomes the idea of resting
in quilted silk jacket e1nbellished
with embroidered flowers, and wears
it in preference to tea gown as 1t
gives charming appearance when
worn with a dainty silk skirt to
match and a boudoir cap Of the same
shade called the Mad Cap COM
pletes this dainty outfit. The array
of elaborate negligees worn with
extra little nantes are almost end
less.
The clever woman will recognize
the possibility of transforming a
discarded evening gown into a gor-
geous house robe by the addition OF
a row silk chiffon coat. The gowns
are undeniably wider and show many
2oyel draped effects
Bedroom slippers and boudoir caps
usually match the negligee. Every
woman needs a perfectly comfortable
rest robe and it is easy to differen-
tiate it from the commonplace, if a
little thought is given to the fabric
and style, and attention to creating
such variations as flowing sleeves.
fancy sashes. deep cape collars, old
cut reveres and fluffy frills.

EVENING CLOAkS FOR
1914 TO BE GORGEOUS

Evening cloaks and theatre wraps
are being made as gorgeous as dress
makers can make them. says a Lon.
don fashion correspondent. A beau
tiful evening cloak has just been
DESIGNED for Nine Edwards, wife
of the Chilean minister.
1t is fashioned Of crevette pink
brocade Of the softest texture, en-
hossed with velvet flower heads. It's
design distinctly heralds revival
OF the old-time popular circular
wrap.
The material is SUSPENDED from a
rounded yoke on which it is gath
cred low on the shoulders, generous
heading being provided which is &C
centuated by a band of skunk APP
plique just below Brocade hangs
from the yoke in sculptured folds,
while the lines are redeemed from
a suggestion of monotonous straight
ness by pouchlike folds introduced
just below the shoulders, resemb-
ling panniers in their contour.
The cloak in finished with a lining
OF filmy white ninon imprinted with
great sprays of Dorothy Perkins
roses in their natural color.

THE COUTURE

Two coiffures, one high and one
low, are now the fashion. Perhaps
the high one is the most popular,
but this depends a great deal on Its
becomingness and the kind of hat
worn. The high couture is particu
larry correct for the new tip-tilted
hats, as it rises slowly from flat front
waves to a very high puff at the
back Of the top of the head. This
follows the tilt of the hat and makes
the hat a continuation of the hair
dressing.
The low couture is worn by the
younger set this winter. 1t goes
also with some of the long narrow
turban and toque shaped millinery.
For evening ii is generally decorat
ed with shell combs both of the
bandeau and horseshoe shapes, the
bandeau placed across the front hair,
which is waved and drawn back
flatly The bandeau keeps the hair
down flatlv on the forehead. The
knot, which is placed at the nape of
the neck, is simple coil that tap
ers 70 a point
In the high couture sometimes the
bang is used, sometimes the hair is
brought down in strands and is drap-
ed over the forehead, giving very
much the same look as a forehead
fringe.
In either case the front hair is
waved in horseshoe shape and drawn
upward as already explained to
make a puff at the top back The
back hair, also waved, is brought
up to this point, and the ends are
rolled in under so that they do not
show at all and are caught by pins.
In the arrangement Of the waved
tresses lies the charm Of this form
of hair dressing The waves have
to be shaped according to the Golf
fure. and a coiffure has to have
special knack to do this. To pull
the waves forward over the cheeks
and brows just enough and not
bit more either makes or mars

Have you ever known a woman
who looked beautiful at distance
bur turned out to be almost plain
upon closer inspection. or vice versa?
There are hundreds OF such women
and only one explanation of this me-
tamorph sis in their appearance. II
lies in their compilations,
The owner of beautiful skin may
seem plain at distance, but never
when you view her at close range.
On the other hand, woman win
a coarse complexion may prove Ell
fective at a few yards distance, but
loses her charm as you approach her.
Cleanliness the Keynote.
Every girl might have a good skin
if she gave ii the proper care, and
ny proper care only one thing Is
meant-thorough cleanliness. skin
which is always kept perfectly clean
will be lovely without any other as
sistance.
Perhaps some reader will turn away
in disgust at this point, thinking that
their compilations are far from beau
tiful. and yet they think themselves
scrupu,ously clean. That is just the
point however Are y-u clean?
Do you know tina. you are clean?
1t is probable that 20 per cent. of
the readers are laboring under the
delusion that they are clean. and
would be highly incensed if anyone
We're to tell them that not only are
they not clean. but that the dirt of
days is pr badly imbedded in their
skins.
The Experiment.
Cleanliness is not mere matter OF
soap and water, as some perons seem
to think 1t is true that soap and
water remove the surface dirt, and
this coun S for a great deal. But the
foundation dirt needs something more
than soap and water. 1t requires a
something which will go bel the
surface and carry away the dust
which is lurking there.

that soap and water are insufficient

This Page Devoted Principally to Women
when YOUR SMALL
GIRL OR BOY CRIES

Many mothers might take a lesson
to heart from the following incident,
narrated BY one of Napoeon's bic
graphers:
His little son, the famous King of
Rome-L'Aiglon, whom Maude Adams
portrayed as a young boy few years
ago-was hardly more than baby.
He was in charge f a lady of high
birth, who acted as his governess. In
addition to gentle birth this woman
possessed true love and thorough
sympathy for children. She under
stood the little King of Rome as no.
body else did. and in return for her
affecti-n and kindness he grew very
fond of her.
One day he began to cry. pet;ishly
and rebelliously. and would not stop.
The lady ordered the windows closed,
the curtains drawn and the candles
lighted
The child looked on in wonder
What are you doing?' he finally
asked.
Il am closing the windows so that
the people of France will not know
/ that their little prince cries" said the
lady.
| The little prince ran to her impul-
/ sively "A thousand pardons, ma
dame" he said. in the formal words
/ in which he had been taught. And
he forthwith stopped crying.
/ His eoverness understood that an
appeal to the child's sense of honor
would have more effect than all the
scolding or reasoning in the world
Most mothers, although their children
are not princes, could at least sug-
gest to their children that the neigh
bors. in want of subjects, would hear
the crying An appeal CT this sort
seldom fails, especially when drawn
curtains and LIGHTS in the middle OF
the day have attracted the child's at
| tention and taken his thoughts away
/ from the cause Of his sorrow

COURI AUTHORIZES
BROWN DISMISSED

r. NJ. Brown, charged three years
ago with embezzlement, was freed on
technical grounds by Judge Fuller
Tuesday, the decision of the court
being that bill collector cannot be
accused of stealing the money he has
collected on percentage basis, as
he really owns a part of it.
Browns dismissal was the result
of an instructed verdict, and the
jury had no chance to determine the
defendants guilt. The ruling of the
court followed the introduction of
he evidence by the government when
The attorneys for the defense brought
PENDANT could not be found guilty
If the charge.
In rendering his opinion, Judge
Fuller expressed regret that the laws
of Alaska are so lax The ruling
was entirely upon technical grounds
and thus the defense was not requir-
ed to produce any evidence to offset
that presented by the government.
1t was charged by the government
hat Brown had agreed to collect
some money for Dennis Goheen on
percentage basis, and that after he
had collected it, he had failed to
pay Goheen the amount due him.
The government held that Brown
was acting as Goheen's agent in the
matter, and that his failure to pay
the latter the money due him was
embeZZlement.
The defense took the other view
of the case, and presented rulings to
prove that according to the laws Of
Alaska, Brown was part owner of
the money collected and therefore
was not technically guilty Of the
crime charged.
