Victorian Sleeve Revived.

Another Victorian revival is the
pulled sleeve coming midway between
shoulder and elbow. Thus far these
sleeves adorn only evening gowns, the
long sleeve to the wrist being used
on all bodices and blouses for day
wear. Low necked waists are filled
in at the top with gathered fuckers
another dainty Victorian feature OF
dress the decOIletage is growing
round instead of V-shaped as the
season advances. Dimity and lowered
Organdie find special favor and laven-
der-the color of colors in demure Vic
torian days-is particularly fashion
able.
The belle of 1920 yelled herself part
ly for coquetry and partly to protect
her complexion, for tan was consid-
cred a disgrace then, as rough, red
hands would be now. Over the quaint
poke bonnets of this summer will be
thrown graceful wells in bordered and
vine patterns and from the tiny hat
floats a short, fiaring veil such as the
1880 belle affected.

Suits for little boys under six, like
those for little girls, are made of wash
fabrics for both summer and winter
Heavy linens and cottons in strong
weaves and in fast colors that stand
strenuous wear and much Tubing, are
used in the new suits for daily wear
which have just been brought out
When the little gentleman is dressed
for a grand occasion he wears velvet
and looks princely in it The simple
tub suits for every day make it pos
sible to keep him refreshingly clean
in spite of the fact that the small
chap is usually oblivious to dirt and
has a faculty for gathering it.
Two of the new models for little
boys suits are shown here They
leave nothing to be desired in excel
lence of design, style or thoroughly
practical wearing qualities.
At the right a suit of linen rep is
pictured with collar and belt in plain
brown. Shocking across the front of
the blouse gives it the requisite full
ness Straps of the white linen are
stitched TO the blouse and support a
belt of the brown linen fastening with
three bone buttons at the front The
collar is small sailor pattern in
brown linen but the cuffs are made
of the same linen as the suit
At the left a suit in the same color
combination is shown finished with
black buttons, and a black silk tie.
The belt is posed lower on the figure
than in the other model and is sup
ported by narrow straps of the brown
linen sewed on at each side. A pocket
with flap finished with two buttons is
smart and practical item in the de-
tail Of the blouse. The small tie does
not extend around the neck. 1t is

Among the really new things that
have appeared on the millinery hori-
zon for fall, the bead ornaments and
bead work which adorn many of the
hats, are the most novel Also they
are very handsome. Now that Amer
Cans are learning how to rely upon
themselves for artistry in creating
headwear, it seems specially appropri-
ate that they should have drawn an
inspiration from the original Ameri-
cans-the red men who have used
beads always. And anyone who will

bright shade of blue velvet. About
the crown a heavy silk floss appears
in parallel rows of even stitches and
this decoration appears in four rows
at the edge of the upper brim- At
the front many strands OF white beads
are knOtted and fastened to the top
crown. The strands terminate in
bead-covered balls fastened to the
brim at each side.

WON'T SIGN THE WARRANTS
Kansas Governors Refuse to Give
Word for Carrying Out Death Pen
atty on II Prisoners.

The parole of Mollie Stewart from
the Kansas penitentiary last week by
Governor Capper leaves few death
prisoners in that institution 1t re-
moved the only woman death prisoner
the state has had for many years. No
governor since 1870 has signed a
death warrant.
When capital punishment was abol-
ished in Kansas in 1907 there were
fifty-six men in the prison under SEN
tence of death. Two more were add
ed when Mrs. Stewart and Frank
Schneck were sentenced. According
to the reports of the governors office
there are fourteen men in the prison
still under a death sentence.
The legislature was in session at
the time of the murder A bill abolish
ing capital punishment had been in
troduced in the house 1t had been
passed by the house and was ready
for consideration by the senate at the
time of the murder. 1t became a law
some weeks after the murder, but was
not retroactive and when Schranck
and Mrs. Stewart were found guilty
of murder in the fire degree the court
was compelled to sentence both to
be hanged.
There were three legal hangings in
Kansas prior to the time this law
went into effect. These were hangings
| under state authority and there were
numerous hangings under government
authority after that date, the last le-
gal hanging of any kind in Kansas
being in Wichita, November 81, 1888,
when two brothers were hanged.
About that time the people of Kansas
| began protesting against the hang
! ings in state which did not practice
this form of punishment and the pro-
tests to the government officials be-
| came so numerous and insistent that
orders were made to stop it.
