and his family" it's effort to enforce the law the recently thought best premises of E. L. Mahoney of Norfolk partly because it knew that Mahoney kept saloon there before the law became operative and partly because of the appear ance about the premises of persons who would be considered intoxicated if the sale of liquor per mitted. In Mahoney's apartments what once the saloon quantity of liquor found and he brought into and before jury.
 Mahoneys defense that the apartments stituted his home and that under the law he had Mahoney unmarried he could have home according the definition of home" elsewhere in the section and the prosecutor asked the court to charge the jury to that effect. Mahoney's lawyer asked the judge charge the jury that man. though unmarried and having family of his own, may still have home within the meaning of the law and be entitled the privileges and immunities thereby allowed. s&E
 The judge took this view of the matter and so charged the jury which disagreed after considering the for three hours. The is going the supreme court in jury can be found which will agree upon a verdict Outside Virginia no one will greatly the prohibition feature but the whole nation is anxious to knov whether unmarried man has home merely exists.
 But what if the court finally holds against the defendant Will not another ncitative to unhoy matrimony be offered? Some make marriage the means the most unworthy ends. For instance some are avaricious that they sometimes steal rob, murder and even marry for money And when has become weakened by indulgence in potent waters, there is nothing that he will do obtain liquor. We imagine there are thousands unmar- ried in Virginia, who. finding themselves deprived by law of the stimulant would establish themselves in snch homes as required by the prohibition law of the state if they had the desperate Of matrimony.

A RemodeIed School System

Those who have given it study know it's weaknesses but to perceive a defect and to remedy it quite different matters. They related by q single tie. There must be perception before there be application of a remedy. Almost any of ordinary observation detect the presence of some of the better known and most common diseases but to cure them another thing. That is the work of expert. And hope that schoomaster friends will not feel offended when express view that very few of them experts the business of construct ing educational systems

The excellence of schools in spite of antiquated system proof of the quality of teachers The character of their good work would be improved by a modern school system and the taxpayers would be saved vast sums of money.

The Mean.nq of "Home"

It is said that there is word in the French language that corresponds to the English "home" If there had been no such word in the English Ian guage a test of the comparatively Virginia pro- hibition law would have been avoided It also could have been avoided if the framers of the law had been a little specific and have given word legal meaning or, if they had been little less specific and had not bound themselves word of so much Yagueness of meaning
 The people who do like prohibition legisa- ton as we know from bitter experience ending in our late personal use" decision, attack such laws at what seem to be the weakest points, and there is point more seemingly vulnerable than a shadowy point The assaIlants of the Virginia law have raised the question whether an unmarried man can have home.

With Beads

eyelets. For the beads, there are
various ways in which they can be
used. Each leaf could be outlined
with tiny little beads or they could be
worked solidly with small beads, or.
small beads could be used for the
petals of the flowers with a single
large bead for the center of each, and
if liked embroidery could be combined
with beads with the flowers worked
in beads and the leaves worked in
satin stitch. All sorts of color effect
could be obtained. Black an white
or white and black is exceedingly
smart this season. The design worked
in let beads on white net or white
chiffon would be exceedingly beautiful.
or for the all black costume jet beads
could be used on black foundation.
Steel beads on black and on white are
greatly in vogue. Little white china
beads are pretty and much liked and
every kind of colored beads is fash
ionable. There is very marked ten
dency toward Oriental and semi-Ori-
entail treatments in color and each
woman will be able to work out a color
scheme herself. Amber beads on white
would be charming or blue or pink
beads would be pretty for the young
girls gown.
The pattern includes design for the
front of blouse, design for stock
collar and a design for each sleeve
but clever women will be quick to see
that it can be cut up and utilized in
various ways. The daisies could be
used singly, for example, and applied
over the blouse in any way that may
suit the fancy, or the little sprays Of
leaves could be used separately. There
is a very great tendency toward the
use of neckties this season and exceed
ingly smart ones are made OF ribbon
with bead design on each end. The
daisies could be utilized for such a
purpose to give most satisfactory
result, or you could apply parts of
the design over a girdle.
To give the best results, when work.
ing with beads, the pattern should be
transferred to tissue, then basted over
the material and the work done over
the paper which can be easily torn
away when it is complete

material in red or in blue and pongee
is one of the most fashionable fabrics
of the season for girls dresses, while it
can be found in blue and in other
becoming colors as we'll as in the
natural tone. Chambray is pretty
made in this way and the chambries
this year show very beautiful shades
while there are variety of thinner
materials that can be treated in the
same manner. For the very dressy
frock it would be pretty to use habutai
or other fashionable silk in white and
to trim with the same material in color:
The washable taffeta is especially good
for the purpose. -,
When you buy the pattern you will
find one diagram on the back OF the
envelope showing how to place the
parts on the material forty-four
inches wide. another with number
that indicate how the various pieces
are to be put together. With the
help of these diagrams and the dlrec-
tions on the envelope, you should have
no trouble whatsoever in proceeding
with the work.

How to Make a Smart Frock

the right side and take care that you
catch each one with back stitch to
hold it in place, then you can take
out the gathering threads which you
have put in for the basting only and
you will find your material held to
the exact width required without any
ugly piece Of material sewed on the
underside. For the shirring run
row of tiny chain stitches over each
line taking care that the stitches
which come through to the right side
are not visible.
The closing is to be made under the
box plat, at the edge OF the left front,
therefore, you must make finish and
buttonholes before you lay the box
plaits. To do this, turn the left edge
under on the line of double perfora-
tions. Work buttonholes at intervals
for the entire length, then as the next
step form the box plat by bringing
the corresponding lines Of perfora-
tons exactly together and as you
haste on the lines you will include
the front edge and make a firm lap.

After you have smoothed the pat
tern out pin it on the material. Mark
all the perforations and the notches
and remember that the row Of tiny
perforations just within the edges is
the line on which you are to haste
and to sew. Cut on the outside edges
of the pattern. for the seams are
allowed.
As the first step, carry the markings
through to the under side with tailors
tacks, then pull the two thicknesses
apart and you will be ready to begin
the work. II you are using shocking,

fee. II you have decided upon shir-
rings, gather at the upper edge be-
tween the two crosses and on the
lines of perforations, then between
these rows of gathers and for pongee it
will be we'll to make the rows OF shir-
rings one-half inch apart.

pose. To do il successfully one should

4 FTER seeing great many dress
of the sort that afford an excel
lent opportunity for studying the
modes as presented by the best de-
signers both abroad and at home. one
realizes why it has been said with more
truth than it is pleasant to think Of,
that the French designers do not put
forth their most artistic efforts for
the American trade but seek rather to
offer something more sensational while
they reserve their supreme efforts for
the home folk, the present display re-
veals less of the eccentric than we
have had for long time and it is
encouraging from that point of view.
That there are to be revivals OF
earlier periods without number. we
have known for some time. These
revivals take a good many FORMS
but there is marked tendency toward
the study of Spanish and of Chinese
influences and also of just that quaint
last century effect which we women
always speak of as "Old Timey." The
Chinese influence is easy to trace.
The Spanish designs have gone back
a long way and a great many of the
models exploited by such houses as
Worth, Lanvin and the like suggest
somewhat that quaint portrait of the
Child Infanta with which we are all
familiar. The skirt of her gown you
remember was very full and of that
silk which would stand alone and with
under boning or what not that keeps
it in place, it stands away from her
figure 90 stify that the little hands
rest upon it and are supported. We
have smiled over that figure for
great many times. We have rather
pitied the little girl doomed to such
quantity of material gathered into her
skirt, but we are e1nulating her today.
While we will not have silks that will
stand alone and while nothing could
be quite so grotesque some of the
models that are being talked of as
especially worthy of note, have stopped
little short of the width that is found
in that famous costume. A Landuin
gown of black satin is very wide and
full and arranged at the upper edge
in what we call cartridge plaits over
a foundation of crinoline. 1t gives as
exaggerated hips as any we can find
in the old portraits and it is just as
absurdly far from the natural figure.
To what extent women will follow such
a lead remains to be seen. 1t is prob
able that nothing like such extremes
will be worn but the broad hips, the
comparatively short skirts. the droop-
ing shoulders, the dainty under
sleeves, frills and the like all are here.
There will be great many bayadere
or cross stripes worn. Flounces of all
sorts and ruffles of every possible
width are smart. is an era of the
needle woman, too, for every kind Of
embroidery and fine stitchery is en-
ployed. Beads are everywhere, They
are sewn. over stamped designs to
make garniture for blouses and the
like, they are made into landings and
into edgings and they are indeed
employed in almost every possible
way. Many of the very handsomest
costumes show designs made
especially for them and with
beads sewed on by hand, the
foundation being tulle or chiffon or
some similar thin material. That such
work represents great care and nicely

FlounceS and RuffleS are
Fashionable

and must consequently mean cost is
true beyond doubt, but one could
apply beads in a simple way without
difficulty and many of the loveliest
and prettiest effects are obtained by
very simple designs: An exquisite
afternoon gown IS, for example, OF
taffeta and Georgette crepe the color
being little deeper than champagne.
The bodice is of the crepe, closed at
the back and shows embroidery across
the front which consists of circles
worked out in wooden beads in a shade
darker than the foundation crepe COM
bined with small crystal beads of blue
and embroidery in satin stitch be-
tween that matches the blouse in
color. 1t is a really wonderful gown,
an exquisite gown in color and in treat
ment but the design is simple enough,
once suggested. 1t is the thought that
lies behind these things that is rare.
Almost all the simpler costumes show
neckties of one sort or another used
to finish the blouses. These neckties
show the bead feature most charmingly
handled. An exquisite costume Of
grey is for example finished with a
necktie of blue ribbon one and one
quarter inches in width, the ends for
the depth of perhaps four or five
inches are entirely covered with small
grey beads with rosebud on each in
brilliant pink with green for the leaves.
1t makes an exquisite bit of color
brilliant pink with green for the leaves.
1t makes an exquisite bit of color
against the quiet gown. The idea was
an inspiration but the accomplish
ment is not difficult.
A very charming blouse that was
shown with coat costume of silk is
made of Georgette crepe open at the
front with a little chemisette of lace.
The edges of the blouse are embroid-
cred with rings approximately one
and one-half inches in diameter.
There are two interlacing rings in
each group and there are three
at each side of the bodice. Each
of these rings shows three rows
one within the other The innermost
is darned in silk floss a shade darker
than the crepe, the second shows
French knots and the third is again
in darning. The same idea could be
carried out in beads and they could
be made to give a very rich Oriental
note of color if liked. Such combina-
tons as black and amber and blue
and green often are seen treated in
similar ways. A very wonderful gown
designed by Partisan house shows a
very wide circular skirt of black satin
striped with green. 1t is slightly
drapcd at the sides and is caught
up in a most delightful way to reveal
bits of the skirt beneath that is covered
with black lace frills. The bodice
is of black crepe material known as
will o-the wisp that is even daintier
than Georgette and over green
foundation while it is embroidered
with jet and green beads. The bodice
is open at the front with a high collar
at the back and is cut with the kinono
sleeves that are the prettiest that can
be offered for such thin materials. Any
woman can COPY blouse of that shade
and any woman can embroider with
beads, If the right colors are selected
and the work is carefully done, one can
produce an exquisite result with ex-
tremely moderate cost.
