How to Dress on 500 a Year.

Every woman should mend her own
clothes"
The observation was made with de-
cision by Miss Emma Wells of Washing
ton, d. c. the Emma McChesney" OF
the corset commercial world. Ever since
Edna Ferber made Mrs. McChesney" ia
nous in fiction every saleswoman "on
the road" has been at some time related
to her. But before Emma McChesney"
was in fiction Emma Wells was in fact,
and it is doubtful if for pure up and
coming enterprise, shrewdness, ginger,
wit, sales sense, initiative, pep and en-
thusiasm the former could much outdo
the latter.
At the moment referred to, when
clothes were under discussion, Miss Wells
was moving toward the closet of her
room at the McAlpin hotel, from which
she took a fluffy blouse. "My income has
warranted the payment of an income tax
for three year7," continued She "and l
mend my clothes" She held out to view
a darn so exquisitely made in the sleeve
that it was almost an ornament either
than blemish. There is no reason why
girls without an income warranting
yearly tax should not be well dressed
and smart if they want to be. 1t is
question of taste, willingness to take
trouble and clothes sense more than any
thing else. A girl can dress on 500 a
year if she must, and cares to-"

KISSING ANOTHER'S
BRIDE; SLAIN
Young Man Shot in Paterson, N. j.;
Saloon Keeper Dis
appears.

Paterson, N. j., Oct. ia young man
was shot and killed early Sunday morn
ing on Jersey street. When crowd
gathered around the body young WON
an from an adjoining house pushed her
way into it and asked if the dead man
was her husband. Some one told her it
was not and she slipped away.
The police made formal investigation
and were about ready to drop the case
as one of suicide when they heard of
this incident They soon found the young
woman, bride of year.
She is Mrs. Margaret Pallamaro, II
year-old wife of Rocco Palamaro, 45
years old, for whom the police have sent
out an alarm. He is saloonkeeper.
From what the police have learned from
the young woman the dead man was Vim
cenzo Galascio, % years old, and, pre-
vious to her marriage, she was his sweet
heart.
Galascio, the police have discovered,
had not been working and it is thought
that about 2 o'clock he entered the sal
Don kept by the man who married his
former sweetheart. There, it is said, he
boosted he had kissed the girl since her
and had taken her to moving
picture show.
Early yesterday morning, Mrs. Palla-
marc says, her husband dashed into her
apartments and demanded to know if the
statement that Galaseio had kissed her,
rs he bossted, was true. She said it was,
she told Capt. Tracey, and her husband
rushed out. A minute later there was a
shot.
The police think that the young man
mad been drinking and when intoxicated
made the boast that he had still friend
" relations with the young woman and
paid for his boast with his life.

Again Miss Wells went to her closet To

Il just washed these myself, to-day,
she said. I've worn them year. They
are made of good quality of coutil, you
see, and will stand soap and water. The

them in tub and go over them with a

you can lay them in the sun, that is the

Don't you think cheap corset bends

''Wear them wrong side out day or

If stains upon ivory are of long stand

will restore it to its original freshness,

will restore its wilderness altogether.

PROPOSED PERMANENT WORLD
 COURT OUTLINED BY TAFT
To Settle Difficulties as They Arise
 Among Nations.

New York, May 2.-The world court which the world court congress, Tn session here, would create was out lined today in an address by William Howard Taft, honorary president of the congress- The aim of this pro- posed permanent world tribunal. MT. Taft explained, would be to settle diff ferenees such as are settled today by a domestic court on principles of law and equity and as they arise between nations.
 MT Taft emphasized a distinction between arbitrations and the sug- gested world court.
 stThe general rule in garbitradonS is that the decision is a compromise-1t is not clear cut judgment on questions of law and equity. the former presl- dent explained Parties are not given their rights or subjected to their obi gations as fully and completely as they ought to be and as they are in do- mestic court of law.
 "There is not any reason why with respect to questions of a legal nature the tribunal between nations should not pursue the rules of law and equity with the same degree of fidelity as in the domestic courts.
 Where the issues are political, where they are not those that can be solved by law, there, of course, a ne- gotiation and compromise are appro- priate. When, however. nation has a good legal claim, a good cause, on the rules of law, 1t is quite likely to decline arbitration because arbitration is IilSley to be a compromise and a cutting down of it's just remedy. "Arbitrations are generally made up of temporary arb1trators. The persons are selected for the particular case and this feature lends support to the diplomatic method of reaching a com promise conclusion"

Recruiting was still being maintained, with some occasional lapses.-
 There were two limiting conditions the premier continued. in the matter of recruiting which applied to England but not to the other belligerents namely, maintenance of supremacy on the seas. both by means of the navy and of the mercantile marine, and financing of the nations allies.

HOLIDAY SPIRIT IN
 DUBLIN YESTERDAY
People Walked About Freely and
 Viewed Ruins in SaekviIIe Street.

Dublin, Monday. May 1, Noon. via London. May 3. 12.30 D. m. There was almost a holiday spirit in the Irish capital today. All through the center fthe city, which for a week was the scene of fighting people walked freely about and looking at the ruins in Sacxville street. Hun dreds of persons. gathered at the post office, which was almost destroyed by fire; iE' search of souvenirs. Many of them found rifles. bayonets and oth& CT trophies in the still srnou1dering ruins before the military decided to clear away the crowd owing to the danger of falling walls.
 Squads of cavalry patrol1ed the streets. keeping the crowds on the move, but it was not necessary to use force.
 Troops still occupied strategic po- sitions at the end of the streets and passes were still necessary before one could go into the districts infested with sn'pers, who evidently had not learned Of the collapse of the rebel lion or were determined to use up their ammunition before surrendering or Icing killed.
