Is Gown Messaline or
Satin? Judge Puzzled

Justice Linck was called upon
Friday to turn professional dress
maker and decide whether gown
is made of silk messaline or cot
tonback satin and what it Is worth.
The Eastern QUILTING Co. al
leges it sold a S25 silk messaline
dress to Mrs. Bessie Lemming.
Soon afterward she took it back,
claiming it was made of cotton
back satin, worth only about $40.
She paid $14 on it, according to
the evidence introduced in court,
and refused to pay the balance.

proceedings against her husband,
Fred Lemming, for the balance.
The husband, claiming he was
not living with his wife at the
time and was not responsible for
her bills, brought about the legal
tangle which Justice Linck is try
ing to unwind.
Mrs. Lemming is asking the
court to give her back 81 OF the
$14 she paid in, claiming the
dress is worth only SO. Judge
Linck has taken the case under
advisement, and Is puzzling his
brain to reach a decision.

To a Food Shark

with Apologies to Shelly
HI to thee, evil spirit!
Bird thou never vert,
Meier from Heaven or near 1t,
Hadst thou e'er a start
In pursuing thy nefarious art.
Higher still and higher,
From the pit thou flingest
Wheat doth take flier:
The plodding toiler thou
wringest.
And singing still dost soar, and
soaring stingest!
On the gloden lining
OF the sunken sun,
Where the sharks of war are
dinging,
Thou dost gloat like one
OF the famished vampires whose
feast has just begun
What thou art we know not;
What is most like thee?
From grave yard haunts there
comes not
Ghouls fearsome as thee:
From thy loathsome presence even
devils flee.

modern dining room for several years. Colored glass donles are now the piece de resistance of all modern" apart ments, and some of the domes are so terrible that much persuasion finally induces the landlord to take them out. The ideal light for a dinner table is candle ight-no overhead light can possibly equal it, and in some homes the overhead light in the center of the dining room has been dispensed with, side lights in sconces, supple mented by candles on the table giving the illumination. In such dining room as this a brass hanging basket filled with ferns was suspended above the table from the unused center fix ture and the effect was very graceful and pleasing.
 A new table decoration after the idea of the Japanese bowl so popular for two seasons past, is the dancing satyr arrangement. These two laugh ing satyrs with intertwined arms are posed on the edge of pottery flower holder designed to rest in a water filled basin. The idea is novel and
