Fitted Waist for Spring.

| 1t is also safe to accept the gath
| ers at the waist line of the skirt,
but not at the waist line of the bodice.
More and more are we convinced that
the fitted waist will play the important
part in the spring fashions. Already
there is an air of oddness about the
blouse that says over the belt, and
there is no effort made to shorten the
waist and there is every indication of
a well-def1ned waist line.
Long sleeves must be accepted, and
in the evening there is a rival fash
ion creeping up on the one that ellmi-
mates the sleeve altogether; 1T calls for
a short sleeve of the material. is bit
full. and ends in a band of itself and
ruff1e Of lace. This is only used on
those new frocks in which the bodice is
of the same opaque fabric as the skirt.
One gown that shows this feature is
of white taffeta embroidered with
huge silver wheels, the skirt gath
cred to the belt, and the bodice merely
a continuation of the material. Op-
posed to this Is the fashionable sur
plice bodice with the material drawn
up to points on the shoulders and
caught with g. flower or a jewel. but
not holding a sleeve, or providing a
place for one.
AS for coats, cut them short if you
long one has no chance as far as one
can see. Even those that cover the
hips are giving way to ones that mere
ly cover the waist line.
Hips are smoothly fitted. even when
there are gathers, strange as it may
sound. for these gathers are held In
by q belt that drops over them and
fastens with a buckle, often of gun
metal.
All these points are well established
and they are good for the woman who
intends now to commence the process

What Styles Are Safest.

| There have been serious changes in
the cut of garments since October,
all of which were foreshadowed by
the Paris openings. which took place.
as you remember, almost under the
sound of the cannon, under the echo
of marching feet, and to the chant of
the ''Marseillaise."
Each feature shown then and not
accepted by America in the beginning
| has been Incorporated into the styles
| here. The swirling skirts cut OF at
| the shoetops have now become com
monplace: the long tight sleeve far
| ing over the hand is everywhere. the
| down the front and the modishness
| OF the high collar are commonplaces
| VIII there be anything newer? When
| Paris announces that she will have
! ner regular openings to the sound
of receding cannon we may expect it.
| If she does, will she advance some
thing quite as revolutionary as the
wide skirt and the fitted basque? VIII
sne overthrow what we have and re-
/ place it by something quite different?
| For if she does, we will accept 1t, you
and /, and all the rest of the world,
I for what we wear in the simplest and
the least expensive form has always
! ueen suggested by Paris. This is what
| makes the sneer against Paris fashions
amusing to those who know.
woman may make simple frock
| at home by 10 cent pattern at a
| cost of 81, but the design and the law
that governed every detail in it came
| from Paris. Callot may be not even
name to a woman who is faithfully
following the fashion that this de-
signer laid down three months before.
| 1t is safe, therefore. to hedge a lit
| tie on what is so commonly accepted
now in the wholesale trade, and aim
not to accentuate the main and lead
ing features that stand out prom
inently in ready-to-wear frocks. There
is no evidence of a return to narrow
skirts, and even for evening use there
is growing tendency to widen the
hem far beyond what was acceptable
when the winter set in.
l have seen some exceedingly new
lights which were cut circular and
| shorter in front than in back. and
again others that gave barely enough
width to step with comfort. The sig
nificance lies, however, in the new
width. not in the full one which has
| been in play for years.
If one is altering a street or house
skirt, however, it would be wiser not
to adopt the exaggerated width. for
1t has not proved satisfactory-it has
only blazed the way for less mar
eral seasons. and now the best thing
is to cut new skirts in between the
two widths. The shortness of it de-
pends upon our own inc1inations, but
there is no semblance of a return to
an instep length, and better still. there
is no sign that they will touch the
floor We are too inordinately proud
of our footwear these days to accept
style of skirt that would hide it.

PATRIOTISM AND THE FLAG

"a RlOI ISM AND liz FEAG.-
The following passages are quoted
from an article entitled, "Sad Mexi-
co.'s Middle Name Is Militarism, :"
which appeared in the Daily News of
June Is.
''Miltarism is a word frequently
heard in these days of war, but not
with reference to Mexico. Yet no
more glazing example of militarism
gone mad was ever afforded than
Mexico"
'In school child is taught not only
that the Mexican flag is the most
beautiful in the world-a piece of es-
thetic folly at best-but that it is the
most invincible in the world, which,
of course, is utter absurdity."
These two passages deserve the at
tention and deep thought of every HUI
man being, because what is true of
Mexico is true also Of the United
States. Here, too, the child is taught,
like the child of Mexico, that "OId
Glory" is the most beautiful flag in
the world and that it is invincibIe,

continuous bombardment through
press and pulpit for large army and
navy. 1t is said that more patriotism
and more armament are necessary to
preserve peace and uphold the dig
nifty of the nation. If this be true
then there should be no war in Eu-
rope and no revolution in Mexico.
Before. the present conflict the
great European nations were arming
themselves to the teeth. Every year
they increased the size of their armies
and navies and they continued this
until peace was an utter impossibility
and war-brutal war-was the ineV-
liable result. r.t
A nation which glorifes war as
noble and patriotic by preaching and
agitating for more armament cannot
hope for peace but for war. And if
the United States insists on increas-
ing it's army and navy the time is not
far off when it will be at war with
one of the large nations.
So long as the minds of the people
can be befuddled with such tommyrot
as patriotism for your country and
love for the flag" peace on the earth
and good will toward men is impossi-
BILE.
The only patriotism worth fighting
for is the emancipation of the human
race from superstition and ignorance
and Kidding the world of the profit
system.
The only flag worth fighting for is
the red banner of international broth
erhood. - Charles Schworer, 4134

There will be ample funds from the

stimulate greater interest among them
than could be done in competition with
white farmers which they have a right

would much prefer to have a fair of

They will this week dispose of some

The citizens committee have some
cases set for hearing beginning with

Fe railroad company has paid in death
and personal injury claims, approXl-
mately 100000. Some of the larger
property losses are yet to be adjusted
which viii bring the total close to the

DECOY LETTER
|DENT|F|ESA A
HORSE THIEF
IDENTIFIED TO DEPUTY SHER-
lFF BY NOVEL METHOD - WAS
TAKEN BY SURPRISE.

On the night of the 29th of June,
a horse and saddle were stolen from
Mr.. Wilson, who resides at Springer,
After a few weeks search the animal
and saddle were located near East
man and restored to their owner,
but the thief continued to roam at
large until last Saturday afternoon,
when he was arrested at Pauls Val
ley, and is now in the county jail.
Sheriff Garrett, who has a special
gift at catching a horse thief, has
never for moment lost sight of the
fact that he wanted this man Jack
son, and upon several occasions has
had him located only to lose him
before he could effect his arrest.
Last week the sheriff learned his
man was at Pauls Valley, and SEN
Deputy Lathrop there Saturday
Lathrop arrested him in the post of
fee while he was reading a decol
letter sent by the sheriff. Lathrop dit
not know the party, and the sheriff
wrote Jackson stating that man wa'
after him. In fact, Lathrop wa
posted beside the delivery window
when the man called for the letter
When Jackson saw what he was W
against, he was somewhat perturbed
and expressed his opinion Of an OF
hcer who would resort to such
trick to catch a horse thief.
He will be given an opportunity O
explaining his actions in the court
at the next regular term.
