IN SOME parts Of this country the
i pretty custom of serving guests
with light refreshments at five o'clock
tea, or on other informal occasions
has always been taken care of by the
daughters or young women of the
household. This intimate method of
service is almost universal fashion
and it is to be hoped will become one
of our established customs.
All sorts of airy and dainty aprons
made purely for decoration and sug-
gestion have been designed for the
wear of the charming servitors. For
these aprons the lightest and sheerest
of fabrics are chosen, ranging from
fine nets, through swisses and organ
dies to lowered lawns, dimities and
all similar fabrics. The fine wash
laces and satin ribbons are used for
decorating. The narrow lace bead
ings, sewed in patterns, Stimulating
bow-knots of ribbon, flower-forms or
graceful scrolls, are machine stitched
to the fabric. This beading serves to

decoration in keeping with any color
scheme. Narrow insertions and frills
Of lace are used in any way the fancy
Of the maker may dictate. The re-.
suit is that there is no end to the
variations of these little decorative
accessories.
Aprons of this kind are all small
and cut in graceful and fanciful
shapes. Just now neart-shaped
apron is much in vogue. Sometimes it
is developed with little heart-shaped
bib attached. Ribbon decorations are
nearly always in a color.
Two illustrations are given here
showing the latest fancies of the
apron makers. One of them is an apron
of plain white net trimmed with bands
Of organdie in white or any desired
color. Such an apron is prettily de-
velOped in light-colored nets and
trimmed with ribbon. It may be pro-
vided with pocket and further en-
bellished with little ribbon bows.

BIG BEARS GOLD
BY SELMA ELIZABETH HlGGlNa

Big Bear was an institution in Ty-
Ter. For Ave years he had been as
much a part OF Doctor Whartons
household as the watch dog. the fam
fly horse, or the chickens. In fact.
Big Bear spent most of his time with
these domesticated pets. He slept up
stairs in the barn In winter. under
shady tree in the garden in summer
and was a trusty sentinel. a swift
obliging messenger and the loyal and
devoted adherent of the doctor and
his little family. especially pretty

womanhood.

On the present occasion, however.
there was an incident added not an
ticipated and more tragic and sensa-
tional than the fiercest play episode
on the program.
Big Bear had sat on q railing like
others casually reviewing the process
sion OF a sudden as a big brawny
brave mounted on a mustang came
into view, there rang from his usually
placid lips hair-raising yell:
Lone Wolf"
Hold HIM"
Hes gone mad!"
1t seemed as though in flash some
stirring impulse had reawakened in
the chief all the long dormant feroc-
ity of his nature.
Electrified, he sprang to his feet.
An ear-splitting war whoop left his
lips. Then like a bloodhound he
reached the middle of the street In
four tremendous bounds.
With a spring he landed against
the painted brave on the mustang.
He tore him from the saddle. Both

SCORES STATE FOR KEEPING
BOY in CELL WITH DRUG FIEND

Making a stirring and eloquent
plea to the jury this morning, At
torney G. B. Aldrich, representing
Roy Smith, the negro lad charg-
ed with the murder Of A.. H
Warden, likened Harry Carlson,
the dope fiend, to second Pagan,
who had made weakminded lad
his tool in crime. ~
He also scored the state for
permitting a 15-year-old boy
when arrested to be placed. in a
cell with drug fiend, and de-
clared this had been the founda-
ton of the boys downfall. The
argument that young Smith was
not in his right mind when the
shooting occurred was the basis
of the attorneys plea.
Attorney Aldrich began his ar
gument after Judge Clifford had
read his instructions to the Jury
this morning. The Judge said
that while Smith might have beef
