DRESS AND SUGGESTIONS ANNE a,isA,nov.n FOR WOMEN
Taffeta frocks, ornamented with openwork embroidery, are worn by girls of sixteen as substitutes for cotton gowns.

cotton gowns.
 1 New York, July 1o.-Each day we hear more about the substitution of silk for cotton. The expert may know the intricate reasons, why and wherefore, the complexities of com mercial valuations, the scarcity of this fabric, and the overproduction of that, but the amateur merely gets her Knowledge from a tour of the shops. l There is real silk and artificial silk today This is the reason one can get pair of silk stockings for 35 cents and must pay dollar for good pair of cotton ones. The silk won't last and the cotton will. which is a verdict that does not appeal to the great majority of American women.
 We have long since ceased to ask what will last; we want to know what Is fashionable On that desire as foundation Is based the stupendous business on this continent in cheap commodities. The Almost as good" slogan is the basis on which great fortunes are built in certain kinds of merchandise
 COMMON USAGES OF SILK
 There were times in the history of this country when a silk gown was an heirloom. Today, the girl who works for S6 a week is able to buy her shirtwaists of silk and she nearly always wears silk stockings.
 Once silk was kept for ceremonial costumes; today it is made up into chemises and nightgowns by the thousands. When Lady de Bath then Lilly Langtry, insisted that her corset covers should be of embroidered silk and that they should be cleaned in stead of laundered, the newspapers wrote about 1t in the same way that they did the bath of milk which Anna Held took every morning. Such per formances were the advertising ca- prices of the famous. so said the peo- pie.
 Today, to woman of very moderate income walks into any department shop and orders corset covers of silk, slightly embroidered and finished with satin ribbon She does this as a mat ter of course. Often these silk corset covers are cheaper than those of cot ton.
 It may come to pass that this gov ernment will need all the silk on which it can put it's hands for war purposes, the women of France, who for cen- faces better than the women of any other nation. are curtailed in their use of cosmetics because certain ingred-

william Jones, of Owingsville, was
the first man to be rescued, and he
was the first man to die. He was so
far gone when he was taken from the
burning prison that not even oxygen
could restore him to life.
The same fate befell David Fife,
Of Lexington, few minutes later.
Rescue Attributed to Prayer
Every man taken from the building
had a dieffrent story to tell as to
their rescue, and all Of them claimed
that their rescue was the result Of
prayer.
Every physician in Frankfort was
called to assist DR.. W. C. Caywood
the prison physician, to wait on the
men. The fire did not reach the fe.
male department Of the prison, so that
there was no alarm from that source
First among those a. the scene Of
the fire was Governor Stanley and his
secretary, Miss Minnie Mailer. They
were at work In the Governors Of

that the prison cells were burning
FIe made the trip to the penitentiary
with so much haste that he arrived
there almost as soon as the city fire
department arrived, and was soon on
the inside of the walls directing the
fire fighters.
More than once during the night did
his friends 60 to him and warn him
Of the danger, not only from the fall
ing walls and the burning timbers, but
from the live wires, but he did not pay
any attention to them and kept on
directing the firemen- until the last
man was rescued. Then he went to
the prison hospital with words of en-
oouragement to the suffering men.
Wiring Cause, Belief
The fire started in the old cell house,
1t Is believed, from the electric wir-
ing. 1t is constructed mostly of pop
lar timber, part of 1t having been
builded 12O years ago and part eighty
years ago. 1t burned like tinder.
The building was the Oldest In use

locking equipment was of old design II
was necessary to unlock each cell in.

in the rescue work and before dupli.
Gates could be secured the entrance tc
the building was blocked by flames
leaving more than fifty prisoners cu
off from escape.
Prisoners In Temporary Quarters
A hurry call was sent to the city
workhouse quarry for dynamite. A
hole was made through the walls OF
one side of the building, which tn,
flames had not yet reached, and tn,
work Of rescue resumed.
AS the prisoners were released the,
