When we stop to consider where
withal we are clothed, and count In
everything from top to toe, 1t is agree
ably surprising to find that a high per-
centage OF our apparel is made OF
cotton. Even the blossoms that crown
our millinery are fashioned OF special
ly prepared cotton fabrics. woven for
the purpose. Cleanliness and durabil-
ity are the eminent virtues OF we'll
woven cotton fabrics-two items that
will forever appeal to civilized hui
mans. Even the sheerest goods stand
Tubing successfully. But these es-
sential virtues are abetted by the
beauty and ever-increasing variety In
weaves OF cotton.
Among the weaves that have been
most successful this season, cotton
crepes, voiles and fine lawns may be
profitably considered for making all
sorts OF pretty frocks. Four popular
patterns are shown here, ore Of satin
striped voile, one OF wide-striped voile,
one OF figured crepe. and one OF print
ed lawn. The satin-striped voile has
a dim floral pattern printed over the
surface. All these fabrics are made
with colors on white ground.
Stripes, II managed well. make the
smartest OF frocks. The wide-striped
voile will make very effective skirt
by stitching a border Of plain blue silk
about the bottom edge and one or two
bands about the body Of the skirt.
The fullness at the waist line Is laid
in wide, fat box plaits with the white
stripes folded under. These plaits are
pressed down the entire length from

two times murderer, and suicide.
Coroner Hollowell, having had the
body of Pattison left on his hands by
the daughters. who took the body of
their mother to Denver with them, ar
ranged for the burial of the suicide in
The potter's field. He was adverse to
any services and obtained the serv-
ices Of the Baptist preacher. The
services were brief, only a simple
prayer being offered for the repose Of
the dead mans soul.
With the burial of Pattison, who
murdered Robert E. Showalter and
Mrs. Pattison and then took his own
life, persons who knew him have
come forward in his defense since his
daughters have publicly denounced
the father as having failed to support
his family or contribute toward them.
An officer of the Farmers Irriga-
ton Company at Loveland. where
Pattison worked for years, made the
following statement:
Clayton Pattison worked for our
company for a number OF years.
knew him we'll and never saw the
slightest thing in the mans demeanor
which indicated that he was not all
right No act of his ever caused me
to consider him such a man as he has
been painted by his daughters who
came after the mothers body and left
thS remains of the father behind for
burial in the potter's field.
Their act seemed to be rather un-
natural, especially in view Of the fact
that he was their father and that he
self.
The daughters charge that the man
did not work and that he failed to do
anything toward supporting the family
and even compelling the mother to go
out and extort money from others. In
the years that Pattison worked for us
know that he sent money to his wife
regularly.
mot only that, but personally
have mailed many of his checks to
his wife. When he had charge of one
Of our reservoirs. he left Mrs. Patti

after month I mailed his entire check
TO her. She received the money. in

slow in coming back to us.

Care of Crochet Lace.

Articles made of crochet may be
kept in shape by this method. Wash
carefully and rinse thoroughly, then
dip in basin of warm water in which
teaspoonful of sugar has been dis
solved. Next place in dry cloth and
squeeze, after which pull into shape
and pin upon a cushion. Be careful to
fasten down each part Of the articles
and they will dry satisfactorily.
To cut crochet lace. put small
piece of lawn or organdie under the
lace where you wish to cut it. then
make two rows of machine stitching
across the lace about an eighth of an
inch apart. Cut between these rows.
Trim off all edges of lawn and the lace
will not ravel.

with narrow val lace. Big half-blown
pink roses and daisies of white chif-
fon. with rose foliage, make up the
wreath. There is bow and hanging
ends of narrow black velvet ribbon
perched at the edge of the upturned
back brim. The ends are not essential
to the beauty of the design and may
be omitted.
The third hat is made of malines
shirred over wire frame. 1t has q
wide border of leghorn, and a narrow
strip of this braid outlines a stay-wire
on the underbrim. A butterfly bow of
wired black velvet ribbon is poised
at the back and wreath of azalias fin
ishes the design, which may be car
ried out in any of the pale colors but
is shown here in the lightest of pink
tints. No one should begrudge the
milliner liberal price for work which
requires so much skill as is evident in
the making of these hats.
