GARREN AGREES TO
TAKE JUST $4,000

James Garren has filed a remitter
with the clerk of the district court in
which he agrees to take a judgment
of $4,000 against the Ottumwa Gas
Co. Garren brought suit against the
concern for $4,000 which he claimed
on alleged personal injuries. The
case was tried and the jury gave him
$3.50. Then the Gas Co. filed mo-
ton for new trial and Judge Yer
million gave Garren five days In which
to file his remitter agreeing to take
$4,000 or have another hearing.

being especially pretty, this combine
ton is practical, as net wears partlcu'
larly well and lends itself to almost
any fashion of draping
Ribbons and Ruchings.
Pleatings and ruchings on all widths
and fashions are still favored trim
mings for both street and house
frocks. Narrow black velvet ribbon
is most effective and easily applied.
On some of the imported models cord
ings, pipings, and ruchings appear in
most unexpected places. One cannot
fail to see that handwork, and individ-
ual handmade trimmings, stitchings,
etc, can work wonders, and afford an
effect which can scarcely be brought
about by machine made trimmings.
1t is quite interesting to see little
blue serge frock trimmed with lnser-
lions of matching net, with accom-
pany pendant ornaments of wool or
beads in a soft harmonizing coloring.
Bead trimming is effective on both
silk and wool materials; it is being
used in any way that clever brains
and fingers may design. The more
original the notion, the more attractive
! the blouse or frock. Pale pink crepe
de chine or crepe is made more deli
! cate by banding or an ornament of
deft blue Opaque beads. Dark blue
taffeta or serge may be frightened
with a touch of emerald green, orange,
| copper or harmonizing, contrasting
blue. There are any number Of smart
artistic ways of trimming frocks and
| blouses this season with practically no
expenditure of money, if one has ideas
and fingers deft enough to carry them
! out.

1t is quite safe to predict, however,
that the same general lines suggested
in the mid-season openings and at the
various fashion shows will be followed.
Here and There the Tapering Waist.
Quite often one notices in the new
importations tendency to the slender
tapering waist; and this, Of COURSE
means the well-corseted figure. 1t is
not probable that the hour-glass figure
will be countenanced for moment,
but trifle more trimness, conduced
by a we'll fitting modern corset, is nee
essary to meet the requirements of the
spring suit, with it's hint of a curve at
the waistline, it's graceful flaring skirt
and coat skirt. A carefully selected
and properly fitted corset is neces-
sary and always has been to a smart,
we'll groomed appearance. Rather than
Injurious, the right corset tends to-
ward health. d.
Several of the Paris houses are ad-
vocating the three-quarter length coat,
and now and then one sees a polonaise
effect These coats are made with
well fitted shoulders and rounded
waistline. 1t is quite remarkable that
this should be so just now, when we
are massing so much fullness in the
skirts between the belt and the knees,
but it only goes to show the wide va
riety we are to enjoy this spring and
summer. ..r .r-
