One Hundred Years AGO.

One hundred years ago Andrew
Jackson, the future president, was ap-
pointed a major general in the United
States army, to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of William Henry
Harrison. The appointment was in
recognition of General Jacksons dis
tinguished services in the war with
the Creek Indians. The Legislature of
Mississippi territory voted him a
sword, and numerous other honors
were bestowed upon him. General
Jackson, Immediately upon his ap-
pointment as major general, was as
signed TO the command of the Army
of the South and in July he assumed
command at Fort Jackson, on the Mis-
sissippi river, about 65 miles below
New Orleans. Here he met the chiefs
of the Creek Indians, and after much
diplomacy negotiated terms of peace
known as the treaty Of Fort Jackson.

Dogs Privilege Restricted.

That the law no longer comedies
that dog is entitled to one bite is
held in Legault VS.. Malacker before
the supreme court of Wisconsin, in
which father sued for damages for
the death of his son, who died from
wounds caused by the defendants dog.
The trial court sustained a demurrer
to the complaint, but in reversing the
decision the supreme court said
Where a complaint alleges that a dog
attacked and wounded a person who
at the time was where he might law.
fully be and in the exercise of ordi-
nary care it is unnecessary to go
further and allege that the dog was
vicious or mischievous. Such a dog
is necessarily vicious, and a separate
allegation to that effect is unneces-
sary The law NO longer allows a dog
his first bite as was said to be the
case before the passage of the law
abolishing proof of scienter.'

PETTICOAT OF THE MOMENT
Garment Amazingly Light but Per-
fectiy Suited to the Costumes
Now Being Worn.

Quite the most desirable petticoat
is made of the very finest of silken
jersey In charming colors, pale pink,
flesh color, blue, green, yellow, vio-
let, brown, or black, and is meagerly
trimmed around the hem with
fiounces. Those for evening wear
show lace or tulle or insets Of en-
broidered flowers. The petticoat
weighs about an ounce and is as
thick as, we'll, we will say tissue
paper.
These frail, delicate and ethereal
garments take up no room whatever
beneath or above the corset, of tri-
cot in most instances; the bust is
lightly held by lace, embroidery or
jersey soutien gorge tied over the
shoulders with satin ribbons that with
decollette evening gowns can readily
be displaced.
The 'plastique" of the female form
divine has, like everything else, I'M
dergone a radical change within re-
cent years, and our great-grandmoth-
ers would open wide their eyes in
establishment at the reed-like silhOu-
cite of the actual epoch, but would
they admire it?

JUST THE RIGHT TOUCH
HEMSTITCHING ADDS DiSTINc-
TON TO ANY GARMENT.
Popular Trimming May Be Done on.
Sewing Machine if Ore Is Careful
and VIII Follow Direc-
tions Given.

The home dressmaker should give
thanks that one of the most popular
trimmings In fashion today is hem
stitching and its sister, the picot edge
No fabric lends itself SO well to this
form Of decoration as taffeta. Styles,
too, are simple. Hemstitching as
trimming gives the garment quite the
professional touch.
or course few need to be told the
stitching is more effective il put out to
be done, but In remote places one can
not always find person to do it. How
ever, very good substitute may be
produced on the ordinary sewing ma
chine
To make hem haste strip of ma
terial to the portion of the garment.
cutting 1t the desired width. Then
place several thicknesses of newspa-
per between. When the material is
firm basting is unnecessary; the seams
can be laid together, but in the case
of anything SO fragile as chiffon it
must be properly basted. Otherwise
1t will pucker and draw. Now put
under the machine and seam, using
loose stitch. The paper can be taken
away and the material drawn gently
apart, when row of stitches closely
resembling hemstitching will be seen
The raw edges are turned back and
lightly caught down with the needle
and fine thread. To make picot edge
cut through the hemstitching.
Hemstitching put out to be done
costs ten cents a yard, little enough
for such pretty and fashionable trim
ming. The hem must be basted in
evenly before sending the stitching
out. In the case of chiffon 1t Is very
necessary to draw thread as a guide
to cutting straight. 1t is impossible
to make an even hem If this is omitted
Not one in thousand can cut chiffon
perfectly straight trusting to the eye
alone, and unless a hemstitched hem
is exactly even all the way through it's
beauty is lost
When one wishes a picot edge no
hem is set in. The material is sent
with just the raw edges cut perfectly
even, whether. on the bias or the
straight Of the goods. The operator
runs the stitch half an inch from the
edge, SO this should be allowed for
wher cutting the material.
When 1t comes home, press with a
warm iron and cut through the line of
stitching. This creates a picot edge,
and is used to finish the edges of col
lars, sash ends, cravats and ruff1es.
Hemstitching is, of course, more sub
stantial than the picot edge, but both
are decorative. Very .often the stitch
Is used independently of seam, as
for instances the collar and cuffs will
be traced in design to be gone over
on the hemstitching machine. This
with picot edge is very pretty and
dainty looking
A simple frock with collar, cuffs and
sash all trimmed with the stitches
named will suggest good taste and
style.

Imperious Gesture.

they chirked up and paid lot of at

Afternoon tea aprons Of the daintiest

The New Fable of the Through Train
the Two Passengers and Nothing
Doing In the Way
Of Transfers.

Two High School Heliotropes named
LIB and Angie were very Thick. They
had themselves photographed with
their Heads together and used to Dab
themselves with the same Piece of
Channels
Whenever Lib got new Patch for
her Silk Crazy Quilt she would divide
with Angie on a $3.50 Basis. And
whenever Angie got ready TO sleep on
a Piece of Wedding Cake she would
pinch out good stable Hunk for
Lib.
Each Girl kept a Nightie at the
Other Girls House and, long after
they had retired. the Inmates would
hear smothered Giggles, interspersed
with Fragments Of what He said to
Her and what She said to Him.
The Period of their Adolescence
was about 80 years ago, when Ro-
nance was still alive and Knighthood
was in Flower around every Dancing
Academy West of Pittsburgh
The two Chums had made a Pact.
They were to be Friends forever and
ever and ever and neither was to hold
out anything from the other.
Each carried in a Locket a Four
Leaf Glover presented by One to
whom she had barred her Soul.
After supplementing the Graded
Schools with full course of Mrs.
Southworth and learning to play The
Maiden's Prayer" on the Melodeon,
naught remained for them in the way
of passionate Diversion except to go
ahead and get Married
They waited three years for the
Fairy Prince of their Dreams to come
gathering down Main Street in his
Coach all White and Gold, and then
began to mistrust the Schedule So
they effected the usual Compromise,
falling gracefully into the awkward
Embraces of two cornfed Lizards
named Otis and Wilbur.
In the Shake-off it befell that Angie
got Wilbur and Lib drew Otis. The
two Brides were somewhat envied, as
Wilbur was a Good-Looker with raven
Pompadour and large snappy Eyes,
while Otis was supposed to possess

The New Shoe.

One Of the most sensible of recent
fashions is the Salome shoe with its
band around the ankle, which keeps
the shoe up on the heel This is the
more necessary as the front part of
the smart, up-to-date shoe is much cut
away, so much SO that it is really diff
ficult to keep 1t on the foot. White,
gazelle and antelope, besides the we'll
known tan, are the favorite colors for
footgear. Later on more pronounced
tints will be seen, blue, green, red,
purple, matching the gown or it's trim
mings.
The high heel persists in Paris the
wearers little guessing the trouble
they are laying up for themselves,
their spines and their knees.
