HUBBY WAS NO ENTERTAINER
All Right Otherwise, but Fact That He
Had No Conversation" Caused
the Separation.

Sweet and, though sophisticated, ap-
parently not much more than seven
teen, she was explaining quite loudly
enough for all the car to hear why she
had left her husband
"Ele was good provider, but he just
sat around all evening and had no
conversation"
"Why did you marry him."
"IIis grandmother died, see, and he
had no place to go, so he came to me
and said, Say, if you want to get mar
ried, here's your chance take me or
leave me- He was great and full of
pep when out with the bunch, but in
his own home he had no conversation"
"Are you sorry you had to leave
him"
"Well, l had lovely furniture, but
life is not all furniture, and what is
the use of the costliest carpets if your
husband has no conversation"
"Do you think you'll ever go back to
him?'
I'D go back tomorrow if he wouldn't
sit behind a newspaper like a stuffed
dummy in bedroom slippers"

FASHION TAKES UP PONCHO
AS a Departure From the Usual FriIIa
and Ribbons They Have Been
Declared Interesting.

The first adaptation Of an Indian
poncho stands as an impressive finger
post pointing to a new era in Ameri'
can dress. 1t is q moderniZed copy
of the painted-skin garment WON by
Indian women, adapted to suit the
taste of the twentieth century.
The original poncho is specimen
in the American Museum of Natural
History in New York, a painted
ragged edged skin with hole for the
mack, in block design of rich red, black
and yellow. The modern adaptation
is developed in heavy crepe de chine
of leather color, with mottled Bath
work in red. The neck is cut with O
simple V, following out the model. The
middle Of the garment is decorated
with broad band of red with an In
dian pattern. Around the V of the
neck and draping the waist is bronze
cord finished with little tassels.
OF course, the cord is not Indlar
fashion, but is the concession to grace
and charm of line that the present
day American woman demands. The
bottom Of the skirt is very uneven
after the idea of the animal skin.

Good Reason Why Season viii
Go Down Into History as
Age of Gold.
EXPENSE GIVEN NO THOUGHT
Gowns Designed for American Women
Command Prices Which a Few
Years Ago Would Have Been
Considered Fabulous
Brief Descriptions.

New YOrk.-It is not an eXaggera-
ton to say that clothes are made OF
bullion. That is why this season will
60 down into dress history as the age
Of gold.
Possibly, when the de Medicis
reigned in Italy, and when the most
gorgeous trousseau in the world was
prepared for the young Catherine,
Princess of Florence, who was to mar
ry French king, the son of Francois
Premier, there might have been such
gowns included as France offers Amer
lea today.
The only single item of expense that
the dressmakers forgot to place on the
gowns of today was precious jewels.
There is feeling on the part of many
women who pay for these new clothes,
that there must be diamond hidden
somewhere in the folds.
Everything that could be devised to
create expense was thought of and
used. Every animal in the land gave
up it's hide; every glittering stone that
could be produced from crystals, nat
ural and artificial, was gathered to-
gether and facetted by skilled work
men and raised 40 per cent of their
original price. All the bullion in the
land that was not real gold was spun
into threads miles and miles long and
laid in great heaps at the sides of
needleworkers, who were paid their
own price for the workmanship that
has not been equaled since the six
teenth century.
Stained glass windows historic altar
clothes and jeweled robes placed about
the madOnnas in gothic churches, gave
up their designs, in order that the
American wOmans gown might be
more sumptuOus in appearance.
Where ordinary furS could not be
used, expensive processes were invent
ed to shave these hairs into a resem-
blance of the peltry of precious ami
mails, and the cost was added to the
gowns price.
SprinkIed With Semi-Precious Gems.
The designers of clothes looked to
the jewelers. to help them get quanti-
ties of brilliant quartz, artifcially col
Ored onyx and peculiarly cut bits Of
glass that could be sprinkled over the
! surface of tulle, satin and net.
A fine, new thread of gold was spun
which would hold these semi-precious
gems in place. This was made of bull
lion threads in three colors-red, blue
and Roman gold-which were skillful-
ly wound together into tiny ropes that
would loop themselves into masses of
color on a brilliant surface.
Peculiar crystals were found by the
men who know mineralogy, that could
be cut to exactly resemble the great

NOT MUCH OF A SCANDAL
Inquisitive Neighbours High Hopes of

her home that seemed to have a spicy

"Well, what did he beat her with?"

"Ah, did your papa hit your mamma
with the clock?"
mo, indeed, my papa never hits my

Then what do you mean when you
say he beat her up the other morn

Mamma usually gets up first, but
papa wanted to go fishing and he set
the clock so he could beat her up in
the morning"

went up to $50 yard and more, and
panne velvet went up to $40 and more.
Look at some of the gowns in de-
tail. Callot made a dinner gown of
green silk in an exceedingly rare col
or and weave, and the entire bodice
across the back and extending over the
hips was like q brilliant beetle worked
out with infinite skill through the me-
dunn of unusual metal threads, semi
precious gems and touches of espe-
cially dyed floss.
Gorgeous Gown for Actress.
Bulloz made a gown for Miss Elsie
Ferguson, which is a museum piece.
Its cost was reckoned anywhere over
$3.50. Miss Ferguson wore this on the
opening night of her new play.
1t is a straight, medieval gown OF
net, which is so entirely covered with
gold bullion threads that not a particle
of the net is visible. The lower petit.
coat is of a specially woven piece OF
solid gold lace, and the swinging.
medieval drapery from the shoulders
at the back that extends over the
arms to the wrists and is caught at
the hips and trails to the ground, is
of black lace heavily embroidered in
gold threads in an ecclesiastical de-
sign of the fourteenth century. 1t is
commonly supposed to be the longest
piece of uncut lace drapery ever used
in the making Of clothes.
Take another gown made by Bulloz
for Mary Garden. This is called
Griselidis and she will wear it when
she sings the title role of the opera
of that name. 1t is a medieval frock
of pearl gray satin which has long
tunic dropped over a chemise of gray
chiffon. The bodice is entirely en-
broidered in jewels and held by gold
and silver threads.

A conspicuous frock brought to
America, of bright green taffeta, with
bodice of jewels.
jewels of the fifteenth century, the
sapphires and emeralds that hung over
cloth-of-gold gowns and were imbed-
ded in the stOmachers of Elizabeth,
Catherine de Medici and Mary, Queen
of Scots.
The old method of using fiat gold
threads was brought back into the pro-
cess Of gown-building. Its old name
Lame was kept. The name was taken
from the method by which this gold
thread was pounded and beaten until
it became supple blade of grass and
could be run in and out of the net in
any design attempted.
Marvellous NeedIework.
Needleworkers were called up from
the furthermost recesses of French
art work, and Belgian refugees who
had crowded the institutions of Paris
were given work to do in which they
were skilled and superior.
Whole surfaces Of gowns were so
closely embroidered with bullion
threads that they resembled a fif-
teenth-century coat of mail. When
the French designers began to fash
ion all these magnificent materials
into gowns for American women, they
painted the lily and gilded refined
gold; in other words, they heaped
precious peltry on some precious
gems. held them together with bull
lion, worked rare lace into the spaces
and provided q foundation Of metal

Special agents employed by the
Great Northern to travel along the line
and keep the members Of the I. w. w.
and other sons of rest on the move
westward were in this city the last of
the week. On Saturday one of the
agents got busy in the local yards and
lined up fourteen men. He then went
over to the freight depot and asked
cashier Lundquist to come over into
the ticket Office. The men were lined
up and told to buy tickets out of town
All but one of them did so without
further parley but the unfortunate in
dlvidual who declared he didn't have
to get out if he didn't wish to, had
visions Of streak OF grey, and the
next thing he knew he was lying fiat
on his back over near the lunch ROOM
One blow from the powerful right of
the agent was enough to work
change of heart in him, and he went
with the rest.
The same day number of l. w.
WIS gave a transient an awful beat
ing up out near the stOckyards. The
victim refused to carry a card of the
union, and said he wanted work and
would work regardless of what the
hours or wages were, ami as this is in
direct violation of the rules of the un-
ion, several of the "Workers" pitched
onto him with disastrous results.
