TINES FASHION DEPARTMENT
LADIES' WAIST.
BY Anabel Worthington.

Dear to the heart of every woman is
the dainty lingerie blouse which fills so
many needs. By selecting fine material,
delicate laces and making the entire waist
by hand one may have at very little ex-
pense a blouse which will rival any
French creation. The model shown in No
1894 is excellent one to start on, for
it IS quite simple and presents very few
difficulties for the amateur The fronts
Of the waist are tucked as far as the
bust line. The back is in plain shirt
waist style. The simple sailor collar will
have added distinction if it is hand hem
stitched. A ruffle Of dainty lace softens
the edge. The sleeves may be the full.
bishop style; or, if comfort is the chief
consideration, the short, loose sleeves will
be satisfactory.
The waist pattern No. 1864, is cut in
sizes SO to 40 inches bust measure. The
SO inch size requires 2ss yards SO inch ma
terial and 224 yards plating
To obtain this pattern send 10 cents to
the office ofSthis publication.

roundings that we would like 70 have
you see but as you can't. we can only
do the next best and describe a few of
them.
The first place of interest is Fort Del
aware on Pea Patch Island between
Forts Mott and DUPONT.
The next important place of interest
is the National cemetery where the con-
federate prisoners were buried. II is
not very large. but most beautiful of all
small cemeteries ever seen. II is on the
eastern bank of the Delaware river
across from the little city of New Castle.
Near the west wall Is large monument
dedicated to the memory of confederate
soldiers no died in Fort Delaware and
erected by the U. S. government. The
names of all these soldiers are on this
monument in brass plates. Tourists
from all over the country come to this
places each day. and all of them go
away saying that IL is one Of the most
beautiful small cemeteries they have
ever seen.
Again thanking you and the merchants
of Indiana Harbor for the gifts sent to
us, we remain.
Respectfully yours,
THE BOYS.

OMAHA FUGITIvES
PROVE INNOCENCE
Both Punches and Wolfe Show Regis,
tration Cards and Cannot Be Held
As Slackers.

It developed today that the Omaha
authorities put the local police to CON
siderable trouble and some expense
for a case that proved to be a
"bloomer."
Thursday George Punches, Alfred
Wolfe and Hilda Swanson were picked
up here on advice Of VI. Eberson. gov
eminent agent at Omaha. Punches
and Wolfe were charged with being
army slackers and II was limited that
q white slave charge would be lodged
aagiust them. Both Wolfe and
Punches showed registration cards.
however, and when the Omaha depart
ment was advised Of this fact, Wolfe
was ordered to be released
IL the meantime the agents at Ona-
ha were unable 10 collect enough evil
dence 10 lodge white slave charges
against the pair and asked the local
authorities to do what they could.
Huda Swanson, who is nearly 40
years old, told the police she was q
hard working domestic and her cal
Ioused hands proved it. She claimed
she had worked for one of the best
families in Omaha for five years, She
left there 30 visit her sister in Ohio
and ran out of money here. She Sc
cured a room in the same rooming
house with Punches and Wolfe, but as
far rs the police could learn they had
not been together. The woman stated
she bought her own ticket and
Punches said he purchased tickets for
himself and Wolfe and did not know
the woman.
Omaha Advised.
The local police advised the Omaha
authorities that the white slave
charge could not be substantiated. r.
is probable that the woman and
Punches viii be released late this aft
ernoon. Wolfe and Punches had been
working every day since their arrival
