ONCE in a while the woman of to-
~ day finds it expedient to spend a
day, or part of one, in the seclusion
and quiet of her own room. Such
quiet days are too few, and in the
course of any one of them she may
be called upon to receive her very
intimate women friends or the mem
bers of her family. She likes to be
prettily CARRIED, for this reason, and
for the further reason that the day
is more enjoyable to herself when her
comfortable arraying is also attract
i've.
The effective boudoir garb pictured
here includes a handsome petticoat of
fine nainsook trimmed with lace and
embroidery, a little coat of Swiss en-
broidery and a cap of embroidered
batiste decorated with a small wreath
Of fine flowers and narrow ribbon
bows.
The petticoat is made of the plain
nainsook with a very wide f1ounce
added. The t1ounce is made sepa-
Fately and Is an intricate AFFAIR or
embroidered batiste and Val lace in
sertion. The embroidery has a deep
scallop along the lower edge and is
finished with wide Val lace edging
to match the insertion, At the upper
edge the pattern shows a beading
through which plain satin ribbon is
run 1t is set onto the body Of the
petticoat with a row Of insertion.
A petticoat Of this kind is worn
over another of plain net.

Jess Worley reports that a low
browed man with cud of tobacco in
one check and second cutting Of whis-
kers on his face, stopped in front of a
hardware store in ottawa and tenderly
fondled the handle OF a new patent
washing machine, He turned and
twisted the machinery in a manner in
dicative Of familiarity with its work
Ing, and kept up a thorough scrutiny
Of the implement meanwhile. The
clerk approached him, confident Of be-
ing able to sell a machine. Nope"
replied the inquisitive one. Il just
wanted to see how 1t worked. The
woman wants one, but she's got along
all right without a machine SO far and
| don't see any need Of these patent
wringers and washers. Our mothers
didn't use 'em and they got along all
right" The clerk refrained bravely
from saying what he thought, although
he said later that he knew he wouldn't
lose a customer by saying it.-Kansas

his sweetheart. as the clock struck

They stood still, neither speaking for
a while. Each knew what was in the

John was a rising young lawyer in
the town, and he had loved Marcia for
nearly three years. After a courtshir
which had seemed destined to be fruit

neither was young. John was thirty

the door, there's something I want tc

Il admit that, Marcia" said John
But l am not Jealous of him. l an

Only, dear, unless you are sure thai
you love me"
Listen, John said Marcia, placing
her hands on his shoulders. Il loved
Charles for five years and all my love
was bound up in him. Then l discov

First love runs strong and deer
Marcia knew that though she no longe
cared for Charles, If ever he SHOULD
come back he would possess the sam
power over her, the same strength
which had swayed her. For that rea
son she meant to induce John to sci
his practice and go to another cit,
after they were married. She felt tina
she could never see Hambley again
And she feared always that some da,
he would return to Waynesville.

The little coat, or dressing sacque,
is made in two pieces--a body and a
basque. 1t hangs loosely to the figure,
The body is cut out with the scallop
edge of the embroidery sloping up
ward at the front. The basque is a
scant flounce stitched on the body.
Sleeves are plain, made of a piece of
the edging. They reach to the elbow
and are set in.
A net or chiffon or lace corset owe
or underbodice is worn under this
little matinee. The opening at the
neck is finished with a narrow frill
or ruching, and the fastening at the
bust is decorated with a cluster of
chiffon roses.
There are any number Of boudoir

of which they are made. The very
handsome model shown in the picture

to allow the needed day of quiet in

of st. Louis will be passed on by the
supreme court in mandamus proceed

instituted suits against Secretary of
State Roach and the board of cleo
ton commissioners of St. Louis to
compel one or the other to file his de-
elaration Of candidacy for the Repub-
lican nomination for circuit Judge in
st, Louis in compliance with the prim-
airy law.
The supreme court issued an alter

March 16, why they should not file
Garesche's candidacy and put his name
upon the primary ballots.

Senator A. Il. L. Gardner says Col

Considerable surprise was ex-
pressed in Jefferson City over the
denial entered by the capitol commits
sion that its members had any per-

In the event of litigation between
the commission and Gill over the Sc

turn upon the question of whether

We've stone aud the board knew it
when the contract was signed, as Gill
contends.
The Missouri laws authorizing the
construction of the new state capitol
and requiring the stone to be gotten
in Missouri do not specify Burlington

best quality and the building shall be
constructed with Missouri granite and

Liar Out of the Game.

mo, gentlemen" replied the man
with the yaller whiskers, as he was
asked to take a hand in a game of
poker, Il beg you to excuse me. I'm
not against card playing on princi-
pie, but five years ago ! made a vow
never to play again."
For your mothers sake?" queried
the glue factory traveller.
ooh, no. My mother died many
years ago. l was on a train n day,
and we made up a game of poker.
There we're five of us and had never
had such luck in my life. One Of the
players was from Montana, and he
finally put up 200 acres of land
against 5000 in cash"
"And you won?"
"He had a full house and yet /
bluffed him on a pair of tens. 1t
turned out that the land was a mar
row strip of high mountain, and not
worth a cent. 1t was an old mining
claim, l believe"
But where does the vow come in?"
II will tell you. After holding that
land three years l sold it to a Chi
cago stone syndicate, and the men
were put to work quarying stone. A
blast started an avalanche, and not
only ten workmen lost their lives, but
a party of rs Of my fellow creatures.
Had / not won that land 1t would not
have been sold for a quarry"
Yes, we see" said the glue man.
"The other fellow would probably
have used it for a toboggan slide?"
II believe that was his plan, sir"
"And if he did, the slide might
have busted some day and so people
been hurled into eternity"
do you think 1t possible?"

probable. Yes, a hundred people

paroIed After Lono Prison Term.

Jefferson City.-Simon Begley was
released from the p~enitentiary re-
Gently leaving a record of the longest
service of any inmate of that institu-
ton.
He served 81 years, four months
and "a days, and never had been out
side since the day he was incarcer-
,ated until he came through today a
free man.
Begley is more than 70 years old
and is a wreck physically and men
tally He has steadfastly refused a
pardon or parole, saying that he had
no home and would not know what to
do If he got his liberty.
Some months ago a brother living
near Ell Dorado Springs, Cedar county
visited the old man. He begged with
him to accept a parole and go back
home with him, promising to care
for him the rest of his days.
He was totally devoid of emotion
when he left the prison and expressed
no feelings of citation at being free.

looked round to see whether it was his
cane or his gloves. Then the bell rang
again and Marcia hurried to the door.
On the threshold stood Hambley.
Marcia recoiled at the sight of him.
He was the same as aver in aspect; a
little coarsened, perhaps, and stouter,
but in no essential changed. He
pushed past her, turned, laughing and,
clasping her hands in his, led her un-
resisting back into the parlor.
ITS late, l know" he said. "But
only struck Waynesville this evening,
and they told me you we're engaged to
be married. So came to see."
Marcia stood perfectly silent. The
proximity Of the man she loved re-
called poignantly to her those years OF
their engagement, the transports of
love, the anguish which he had made
her feel. Dishonest though he was,
and partly brutal, he had aroused emo.

Wells was powerless to evoke.

brusque, captivating manner when
you broke our engagement because

that / would ~straighten things out and
then come back and claim you. Well,
I've won out, Marcia. I've been In

And I've paid the bank in full, so that
they've agreed to drop the proceedings
against me. And I'm just in time, II

He had flung his arm around her
Marcia grew faint with fear. She
knew that she was as wax in the mans

Necessary Hours Of Sleep.

John Wesley, the founder Of Meth
odism, who attained the age Of eighty
eight and who could command sleep
on horseback, says, in some curious
remarks which he has left upon sleep,
that no one easur will do for all,
nor will the same amount of sleep
even suffice for the same person at
when the strength and spirits are ex-
hausted by illness, hard labor or Sc
we're mental efforts, Whatever may
be the case with some few persons
of a peculiar constitution, it is evident
that health and vigor can scarcely be
expected to continue lcug without six
hours sleep in the four-and-twenty.
