Soon after all of the guests ar
rived cards and pencils were dis
tributed by Lois Dobson aad Flea
nor Minis for progressive converse
ton. For nearly two hours this
proved to be very pleasant diver
sion, partners being changed at the
expiration of each period of five
minutes. Electric lights were ar
ranged about the spacious lawn and
it was originally planned by the
hostess to have those who engaged
in the progressive conversation
pass the time promenading upon the
lawn and about the grove but the
continuous falling of rain precluded
the possibility of this feature.
The hostess served ice cream ana
cake to her guests.

ments as usual. During the last date,

Better Things in Charleston.

1t depends on the viewpoint as to
what is good or bad; but everybody
in Charleston who wants clean and
sober city says that there has been
a wonderful improvement down
there within the last 1s months.
Among the achievements may be
recalled:
The confscatlon of ship with
its cargo of contraband.
The bankrupting of a brewery.
The closing of gambling dens and
liquor shops blythe hundreds.
The collection of sl,925 in fines
from blind tigers at sessions
court enough to pay the entire ex-
penses of the court and over, and
this in city where Is months ago
grand juries refused to find true
bills in blind tiger cases no matter
what the evidence was.
Charleston has been made a better
city for men, women and children
to live in. Isn't that worth while!

bond issues for companies when the
commission is convinced that the con-
Germs will never make money for the
bond holders.
One state official expressed the opin-
ion that the law creating the railroad
commission should either be strength
ened SO that more protection will be
given to the investing public or the
commission should be abolished.
i. L. Calllins of the state railroad
commission. who was sent few days
ago to Constantine to make an APP
praisal of the property of the Peoples
Light and Power company, two years
after the commission had authorized
the stock and bond issue solely upon
the word Of the promoter, informed
Commissioner Glasgow that the pro
motor had not overestimated the
value of the property. However. Cal
kins admitted that one OF the best rea-
sons why the plant had never been
money-making venture was because Of
the fact that the street did not contain
sufficient power

Bags Of embossed leather in oriental
colorings and figures made their entry
in the arena of fashions just before the
holidays. They made an instant sue
cess, sharing the favor given to novel
ties in silk bags, and nothing more
beautiful is likely to replace them for
some time.
They are called Tokyo bags and are
made in various colored feathers hav-
ing Chinese or Japanese figures

ing colors on a solid ground. They
follow the mode in the matters of size
and shape, as set forth by plain leath-
er bags, and are beautifully lined with
plain or MORE silk. After these con-
cessions t. western needs their ale
glance returns to the Orient in the mat

full than the strands of silver beads
and the ivory and silver knobs would
be too tame to harmonic with them,
and their handles are an Indispensable
fascination.

Now Asking Advice.

Attorney General Fellows has been
asked by G. l.. Glasgow of the state
railroad commission for an opinion as
to how far the railroad commission
may go in using strong arm methods
to prevent public utilities companies
from organizing and selling bonds to
the public when the commissioners
are convinced that the proposition will
never be money-making venture.
According to Commissioner Glasgow
the railroad commission is required to
permit a concern such as the Peoples
Light and Power company of Constan-
tine to issue bonds equal to the actual
physical value of the property. The
fact that the stream on which the pro-
posed power plant is located does not
contain sufficient power to make the
plant a paying proposition, cannot be
taken into consideration.
However, this is of some importance
TO those who will put up their money
for the bonds as was shown In the Peo-
Plies Light and Power company OF
Constantine where an Indiana school
teacher invested $500 in the com
pany's bonds. She never received any
interest on her investment and she
claims the bond Is practically worth
less.
Heretofore 1t has been supposed
that the state railroad commission NJ
forded considerable protection to the
investing public, but recent disclos-
ures have shown that the law Great
ing the board Is lamentably weak in
one particular. Commissioner Glas-
cow admits that the commission
should not be required TO authorize

test of spring offerings. The. dots are
in rose color, maize, blue, and laven-
der, and occasionally a light brown or
green makes the choice more varied.
The chic tailored blouse pictured
here Is made of wolfe with dotted
stripes in a deep tan shade on white
ground. Between these are narrower
stripes Of white satin dots. The back
extends over the shoulders, forming a
shallow yoke at the front, and all
seams are set together with a narrow
piping in white. The fronts are cut
to form a narrow panel in white down
the center, with double row of pearl
buttons as a decorative feature. In
this blouse snap fasteners and fly
make it possible TO dispense with but

The sleeves are finished with deep
cuffs OF the wolfe. A removable collar
and cuffs of white hemstitched or
candle are the final touches In a de-
sign that betrays careful planning. 1t
is a model that may be copied easily
in any OF the spring wash fabrics.
