A WIDE VARIETY OF BLOUSES

, exacely to suit itself. or worse still,
takes whatever is offered by those
who have much to sell.
Now there's another diversity IN
style which has been accentuated dur
ing the la st month. 1t shows itself IN
the contrast between the exceedingly
loose bodice that blouses deeply over
belt and the tight wrlnhied poulce'
sometimes Victorian after the manner
of 1910, and again Victorian after the
tight Jersey of 1880 The former has
been insisted upon by many designers
for six months. 1t did not spring over
the horizon with the month of May; 1t
was only noticed by the public then
for the public does not keep its eyes
on the horizon. 1t leaves that TO the
experts and merely accepts what mas
been Ihrashed out among the workers.
The dropping blouses began last au-
tumn and showed itself on evening
gowns more often than on street
froclls. Draperies of chiffon ana tuiie
sagged over tight hip belts OF SATIN
or jeweled galloon. This was the 1ore-
runner of the new style.
Then there came over the horizon
simple serge suits with straight bod
ices that dropped over low-belts Until
this time there was not much 1uiness
in the blouse itself; it went along the
restricted lines of the last two years
and merely changed it's type when 1t
arrived at the belt, where 1t looped
under to match the various panels and
certain types of skirts which owed
their distinction to the loop at the end.
But when the 1st of March arrived.
the exclusive dressmakers showed
separate garments that could be called
either blouses of jackets, and these
startled women. because they were not
accustomed to seeing so much cloth
used in top garment The lines were
extremely wide, the sleeves were as
broad as those in a mandarin's jacket.
and the whole fullness was held in by
a deep belt that was as tight about
the hips as a Javanese sarong.
These separate garments were offer
ed as ssuitable for odd skirts They
were made of matelasse. of soft, twill
ed silk jersey and of embroidered
satin. The shrewd ones saw in them
the coming of a new fashion: they
realized that the outside blouse was
to be cut in a new form: that instead
Of being belted at the waist with a
peplum below. it was to be held in by
tight hip band.

Worn With Separate Skirts.

The sketch shows one of these
blouses in a less magnificent form
than the first ones. 1t is not hand
somely embroidered in gold. nor is 1t
made of an exclusive, expensive
French fabric. 1t is startling; it
should be kept for the country and
perhaps kept away from the cows.
It is of navy blue silk jersey trimmed
with bands of apple green satin. You
can see how full it is and how far
away it is from the prevailing fashion
for the tight bodice and the hip
length cuirass. 1t is supposed to be a
jacket and blouse combined. Nothing
need be worn under it but one of
those net or jersey silk slips that are
high at the back and have only suffi
cient sleeves to hold shields.
The skirt that goes with this gar
ment is of the navy blue silk jersey
finely pleated, and its fullness is
caught above the ankles into a mar
row band Of the green satin.

At 8 o'clock tonight, after the wind
had died down it was announced that
the fire was under control. Even at
that time the heavens were aglow and
great beds of fire were visible to the
watchers on the high buildings along
Bay street.
AT 8 o'clock, while IT is evident that
the loss will reach into millions, there
has been no estimate Of the damage
done by the fire. An officer of the
Southern Fertilizer and Chemical
Company said that their plant is val
ued at $225,000 and that the stock
on hand at $750,OOO AS it was not
known how much the ruins would
salvage, he was not in position to
estimate their loss. A large quantity
of cotton stored in warehouses and
on wharves was destroyed. One cotton
man has estimated the loss in cotton
at $1,000,00O.

FIND BIG STILL IN
HEART OF CITY
Plant Was Ready to
Turn Out a Total of 5000
Gallons Daily.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Feb. 15.-What
is declared to be the largest private
distillery ever found in the United
States was unearthed in the basement
of the Altmore apartment house here
today by the police and the alleged op-
orator end owner of the apartment,
II. Kelso Haley, prominent club man
and business man, was placed under
arrest, along with three negroes, al
legged to be assisting him.
The distillery was discovered by ac
cident, City Detectives Burks, Para
disc and Gillespie having been at the
time chasing a negro charged with
housebreaking, who sought refuge in
a secret passage to the basement Of
the apartment. One apparatus of
100-gallon capacity daily was in full
operation, they said, while arrange
ments were being made to place four
more stills at work, which would have
turned out total Of 5000 gallons a
day. HALEY was discovered working
on new copper worm in one of the
many apartments under the building,
the detectives report, and great guam
titles Of corn in various stages Of fer
mcntation for making whiskcy were
found.
The fumes and smoke were carried
above the building by pipes and a
blow pipe was found in the room
where the still was. The equipment
was new, but older apparatus which
had been discarded in order to secure
greater capacity was found in the
place.
Haley gave bond for his appear
ance in local and federal courts.
