successful through sheer per-
severance and determination. In
spite of continuous bad health
Mr.. Knuepple was always CHEEKY

interest in all the events of life.
He is survived by his wife and
one brother, Henry Knuepple, Of

Given'Another Jolt

The defamers of Hon. Albert
Pfaender Of New Ulm got anoth-
er Jolt last week when the dis
trict court found a verdict for
him in the libel suit against the
Fortschritt of New Ulm, whose
editor charged Mr.. Pfaender as
being a liar, a hypocrite, para
site and also stating that Mr..
Pfaender was biased in religious
matters. All these charges were
found false by the jury and the
jury by an unanimous vote ex-
honorated him. This result is
very gratifying to Mr.. Pfaen-
der's many friends, who all along
knew and realized such charges
were untrue and scattered broad
cast with malicious intent. It is
hoped the publishers of the Fort
schritt will secure a new editor
who will not get them or the pa
per into such straits again
Sleepy Eye Herald-Dispatch.
Many Redwood County resi-
dents will be glad to know that
the editor of the Fortschritt has
been brought to justice. Hon. J.
r. Keefe as we'll as Mr.. Pfaender,
was maliciously written of in
the sheet without any justifica-
ton, and the publishers of the
Fortschritt apparently stood in
need of a lesson in liberation.

!, ,vas worn with a skirt of the same material
it is equally desirable, and bit more unusual
when made OF silk and worn with skirt OF
thin material and of different color.
After the long reign of black and dark blue
costumes for street wear it is pleasant to see
tailors Of pale gray, beige, taupe and OF the
nrettv gray and white checked stuffs enlivened
bv touch Of gay color. This usually appears
in bias fold that peeps below the hem OF
the skirt and edges the collar and sleeves
and sometimes the color will be combined with
black patent leather in an elaborate belt on
the short haring coat.
Much dull red appears in morning costumes
l have seen the new Paquin decoration OF
straw braid in shining black applied to COS

formed deep atticed border, but on the coat
it showed simply in the single line that fol
lowed all the edges. wide collar OF stit
fened white pique finished the neck and there
were straight inner cuffs OF the pique that
showed only an inch or so below the edge OF
the small coat sleeves. The finish OF pique
collar and cuffs is particularly fitted to prac-
teal street gownng The lighter decoration
OF embroidered white linen or muslin is more
suited to afternoon gowning. 1t is seen then
on nearly everything.

ored talteta. The length is the important
characteristic of it. In any case it may not be
much below the waist, though it may point
little below that in the back. while II rounds
short toward the front to barely touch edges
on the bust. Another shape is made quite
straight, and the slight fitness is confined at
the belt line by thick cord run through
stirring. a third is shaped on the lines OF
loose, plain waist that is buttoned once at the
waist line; below this four-inch basque is
slashed into squares.
At charity concert few days ago charm
ing Parisenne, who distributed the pro-
grammcs, wore delightful skirt of gray tat
feta looped high on the hips and tight bodice
made OF gray serge.
At dinner at the Hotel de Paris and at the
opera are worn simple little dresses of family
lowered taifeta quite untrimmed except for
the neck and sleeve finish of sheer white
broidered batiste Often lace petticoat comes
into view on one side, for several inches, re-
vealed by the lift OF the skirt there. Some
. times this one-sided dlstenson is balanced by
big looped sash tied just over the opposite
hip
and the beauty Of it is enhanced by liberal
use of runnings of gold and silver threads.

satin is embroidered irregularly all over the
skirt to the height OF the knees. The little
waist is quite covered with it, but the sleeves
tiny puffs-are of plain net A narrow band
of gold gallon follows the upper line of the
waist in the curve, high in the back and
front, then dropping low to leave the top Of
the shoulder exposed This line, which was
launched by Poret, is distinctly enticng.

cred thickly to the belt. AT one side it is
lifted little above lace petticoat by cluster
of red roses.
To sustain the weight of these full skirts
something is necessary, but there is no uni
versal method like that employed when full
skirted toilettes were last in vogue. Each
house has its own method of distending the
skirts. At the Mason Paquin the nearest APP
proach TO a "hooped" skirt is seen; but that
is not supplied with every costume, and many
tailored costumes have only slightly stiff
fencd band placed inside the hem. The little
skirt OF white net run with three supple bones
set at regular intervals apart is used only with
dresses OF soft stuiis. Under one Worth cos
tune have seen worn a we'll gorcd and care
fully hung petticoat of fine white cotton cloth.
