Only a strict adherence to the laws
of safety in dress causes women to
buy a one-piece costume or coat
and skirt that is never varied
throughout the seasons The dress
makers and the fashion writer's have
pounded this practice into the brains
of the multitude. The American tail

established law of fashion that won,

not vary it with odds and ends, with
f1otsam and jetsam.
Honestly speaking, all human ma
trre cries aloud for variety. Women
would like to dress differently each
day, if they had the time and the
purse; but the onrush of activities
the terrific speed of the whirligig of
modern life. have compelled them to
adapt their desires to their needs.
and they do not find time to change
the costume, or to vary 1t in color or
combination. Out of these conditions
grew the idea that to be well dressed
one must leave a costume as it was
in the beginning.
Now. today. we are restless when
we are compelled to follow this de-
cision. We want separate blouses for
our suits: we want to change our
type of collar from week to week:
We like different hats with somber
suits. We are willing to allow an
evening gown to remain as it is be-
cause we realize that it is difficult
to trifie with it and come off sue

thing that would give us variety, the
dressmakers introduced the short

BRIGHT Colored Blouses.

Once upon time we thought 1T
was breaking the laws of artistic
dressing to wear bright.colored
blouse with a somber skirt. Now we
revel in the combination. The bright
er the better. we say. The woman
of fashion chooses a serviceabie
blouse for a rainy day, brilliant
one for luncheon, a transparent
one for the theater or dinner at
home. Women who plan their ward
robes with care and precision order
a half-dozen blouses to one skirt. or
they order three skirts and a dozen
blouses and call the outfit their
spring wardrobe. They do not bother
their heads about any other kind OF
costumery 1t is the simple life.

crepe de chine-no dimming of color

colored taffeta ribbon in a curious

with coral ribbon embroidered in gold

must have caused instantaneous
death, as the walls of the heart were
flooded with blood. The verdict of
the coroner's jury was that Myrtle
Isonhart came to her death by the
hands Of Jesse Isonhart, her husband,
plunging some sharp pointed instru-
ment into her heart. A hat pin was
found lying on the ground near the
dead woman's body.
Jesse Isonhart is small man, Of
Jewish parentage, and has been an
undertaken by profession, and one
strong eircumstantial fact is made
against him in that the body of the
woman was laid out as the work of
an undertaken. Isonhart was seen
six miles east of Hooker, Tuesday
morning, and was trying to engage
an auto to take him to Texhoma, Ok
lahoma, stating that he would pay
any price to get there. When last
seen Isonhart was wearing a white
shirt, a dark coat, brown cap and
dark necktie. He had dark hair, blue
eyes and a scar at the corner Of his
mouth on the left side of his face. A
reward will be offered for the arrest
and conviction of Isonhart. The
body of the dead woman was shipped
to her father, John Shoup, at Delaven
Illinois, on a telegram to the under
taker here.
Shelby Robertson, the paramour of
the dead woman, is in Jail at Guymon.
Sheriff Scott Sprout had wired Off
GERS in Texas county to be on the
lookout for Robertson, as he was
wanted in Hutchinson for the theft
of a Ford auto, and the description
hte sheriff gives exactly fits the
description of Robertson. He will
probably be tried in Texas county for
living in open and notorious adultry
with the Isonhart woman. No trace
of the auto, which is alleged to have
been stolen at Hutchinson, has been
found, altho from conversation with
Isonhart woman which she has had
with residents of Hooker, she showed
a versatile knowledge of Hutchinson,
and must have stopped off there with
Robertson when the car was stolen.

they were unknown here. Isonhart
