famous Detective
Puts a Question
10 All Women

In the October Woman's Home Com
panion William J. Burns, the famous
detective, begins a series of true de-
tective stories about women. His
first story is entitled The Woman In
the Case, and in the following gen.
eral comment which proceeds his
story he raises an interesting point:
IF you follow the reports of crime
In the newspapers you have read
some such paragraph as this hun
dred times:
"The police finally succeeded in dis
covering a woman in One Hundred
and Twenty-flrst street, former as
sociate of the gang. Under their
questioning she broke down and dis
closed the names of the gangs men,
bers and their hiding place. Late
last night the place was raided: the
whole outfit was lodged in jail. All
OF 'them refused to make any state
ment except Peg Leg Brown, the
leader, who said, Any mans fool
that trusts a woman.
THAT Is one type of woman with
which We who deal with crime and
criminals become very familiar-the
weak, wavering, often, but not always
vicious companion of bad men, She
has her own large place in the an

ed. This is, perhaps, one of the most
sensible costumes of the year. While
1t is ideal for the house, il is quite
as good fey the out of door girl who
enjoys a mountain climb; excellent
for walking, boating and like sports.
The idea may be carried out attrac-
lively in the dance frock; the panta-
lettes being fahioned OF filmy fabrics
to correspond with the frock.

Bungalow or All Envelopine Apron
These large al enveloping aprons
play no small part in the house
keepers scheme of things. Crepe is
also being used considerably for these
aprons, but Bingham still holds first
place; this is a garment that requires
a bit of crispness to make it look
fresh. Percale, striped, or patterned
in some conventionalized design, is
attractive too, and there are a num-
Der of other wash fabrics, thin duck,

Pockets and Trimmings
Large rcomy pockets are features
of both dresses and aprons. They
come in very handy for carrying a
dust cloth a short handled buster or
whisk broom, pair of shears, or
some other article to be used at va
rious times during the morning; be-
sides being useful, they break the
severity of the dress and render 1t
more becoming.
Buttons are used to trim these
dresses, too; but they must be wash
able button-bone or crocheted. Pearl
buttons, which are not removable, are
apt to break when the garment is
laundered. TIE large pearl or bone
buttons, however, the shanks of which
may be slipped through button ho.ed
eyelets, secured with bar, and re-
moved when the frock goes to the
tub are the height of the practical.
The skirt, which unbuttons from belt
to hem and may be laid out fiat on
the ironing board, is another happy
notion.
Another way to brighten the house
dress without making it fussy is to
pipe the neck edge, armholes, cuffs,
down the front and around the peck
cts, with a contrasting bias tape.
This comes in linen or cotton in many
attractive colorings ;also in stripes
and checks and makes most effective
trimming for both dresses and aprons

THE LINEUP.
By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.
Game at $3.50 p. m.

The Federal League, according to
New York announcements, is now
considering an invasion Of Boston.
President James A. Gilmore Is
scheduled to confer with Boston mon
Sunday upon the subject. After the
Fed magnates have been informed
as to how far the Boston men will
go in the way Of finding financial
support, some decision will be made.
Gilmore also announces that
grounds have been obtained In New
York for an independent league
club in 1916.
From many sources, not all OF
them from organized baseball
either, comes reports that the Fed
eral Leaguers are dropping money
hand over fist. Not one club in the
circuit is paying expenses. Even
Chicago, the best town in the cir
cult, is falling behind. Just what
will happen cannot be guessed.
st. Louis fans are staying away from
the Federal League park. giving their
patronage to the climbing Cardinals.
Buffalo and Baltimore fans have qult
cold on their Fed teams. Brooklyn is
waxing enthusiastic over the Dodgers
at the expense OF the Brookfeds. Kan
il was last year, while Newark Is do
ing no better than did Indianapolis,
which couldn't support a two-time PEN
nant winner.
AS an example Of how Baltimore is
supporting its Federal League team.
here is something from C. Starr Mat
thews. official press representative OF
the Terrapins:
Some Of the rumors are to the effect
that Baltimore may lose its franchise.
but that is entirely up to Baltimoreans,
If they patronize the Diamondbacks II
will be impossible to let this city out,
The attendance at Terrapin Park have
not been what was expected when oss
Baltimoreans put their money into the
Federal League in answer to the clamoI
for big league ball. At that time many
fans said they would support the team
win or lose. in order to put this city
back on the major league map. The
city is on the map right now and the
fans should think of the slogan:
I've been once; have your
1T looks very much as If the Feds
have organized ball beaten in the war
for they have managed TO go this faI
and are backed by men who already
have invested too much to quit. Il
Baltimore wants big league ball she

sists that Wood must rest for many

his pitching wing. and It Is feared that
he will never regain his old form. The
recent good work of the RED Sox has
been due in great measure to Woods

handicap for the team.
