THE spring and summer of life,
\ as interpreted in suits for young
and older women, meet In the picture
above Here two conceptions are
shown, one of them youthful and nov
ell with picturesque hint of Spain In
its short jacket and handsome sash,
the other dignified and conservative,
exquisitely tailored, disdaining decora-
lions and faultless In lines; fulfilling
the exacting requirement of mature
women. Women who have reached
middle life and acquired poise, are
not alnenable to all the whims of fash
Ion that lure their younger sisters.
Youth may disport itself in any of
the styles and carry them OF, but
many IF these are rot suited to older
women. They are wise when hey
choose what looks best on them and,
by this means, arrive at distinction
in dress that belongs to their years.
The handsome suit at the left is
made of beige-colored poiret twill.
All that may be said of it is told by the
camera which has not failed to pre-
sent every detail in its makeup. The

MUTE TERRoRIzEs KENTUCKY
Predictions of Calamity by Deaf and
Dumb Woman Preacher Cause
Panic.

Lexington, Ky--A deaf and dumb
woman preacher has thrown super
stitious people about Madisonville,
KY, into state of panic.
She is Holy Roller evangelist, and
is holding a revival at Madisonville,
which is a coal mining town in the
western part of the state. She has
predicted in sign language from her
pulpit that great calamity will befall
the town soon, but has not specified
the date.
She can not read or write, and her
sign language is interpreted by one of
her co-workers. The prophet is Mrs.
Jessie White, and she has been a
preacher for several years. Scores
have been converted by her sign Ian
guage pleas. She has gained a great
hold upon her congregation, and hun
dreds attend every meeting at which
she appears.
Several people are reported to have
left Madisonville and vicinity because
Of the prediction.
The Holy Rollers recently predicted
q calamity at Louisa, in eastern Ken
lucky, but it has not materialized.

tanned the women and brought them
to this country as his relatives for
the purpose Of selling them to his
countrymen.
Prices for the girls ranged from
$1,000 TO $4,000, the commissioner
said. The marriage deal was discov-
cred when one of the men, who had
agreed to purchase girl, found that
she had been sold to another for a
higher price.
The scheme was betrayed by an Ar
menian who said he had visited the
home Of Selvian, and admiring one Of
the girls, proposed marriage. Selvian,
the Armenian alleged, told him he
could buy her for $3.50. In few
days the Armenian paid $500 on
deposit. After procuring marriage
license and new clothes for the bride
tO-be, he returned with the balance
Of the money. But Seivian in the
meantime had raised the price Of the
girl The Armenian refused to pay,
and the girl was sold to another.

short, ripping peplum, in three Sec
tons, and falling within three inches
of its hem. This is new feature
and the regulation narrow belt, Of the
material, finishes its brief story With
a large and handsome ornament at
the front, unexpected and unusual.
Except for groups of three very small
buttons set on the sleeves and be-
tween the sections Of the peplum,
there are no other decorative details.
The hat of soft milan braid, with
wreath of fruit and flowers, is exactly
what it should be to bear. this SUR
company.
Navy blue tricotine makes the suit
for younger women, with side-plaited
skirt and short jacket. The jacket is
lined with gray silk and opens over
vest of silk like the lining. En-
broidery in self color gives the jacket
a rich finish, which the skirt lives up
to by means of sash of heavy, blue
satin ribbon, having its ends finished
with the handsomest of silk fringes.

THIS season presents for the con-
4 sideration of busy but fastidious
mothers many ready-made frocks for
little girls that will come up to their
standards of good taste in choice of
materials, in design and in workman
ship. To start off with, there are
everyday dresses in light-colored, plain
chambrays and very small-checked
ginghams, that have white lawn col
lars and cuffs. A thin white rick-rack
is used to finish edges Of belts or
decorative bands on them, or the col
lars and cuffs are embroidered with
tiny silk or yarn flowers.
Besides these pretty cotton frocks
there are bloomer suits made OF black
taffeta silk with yarn stitching in
bright colors for establishment on
collars, sleeves and sometimes as a
finish to hens. They are very simply
cut. much like the dress of colored
organdy shown at the left of the two
pictured above. This little frock may
be taken as a first class example OF
models in colored and white organdy
which this spring offers to meet dress
M occasions in the little girls sum-
mer. With it a pretty frock of dot

the vogue for the simplest de-
signs in little girls clothes. The

Fair Patient Picked
Pockets of Physicians

ooh, doctor, you're hurting

Alma Reta, who is known to
the police of Chicago as the
''tonsilitis girl" told a dozen
Chicago physicians during the
last few days as they leaned
over her to treat her throat.
Then she would squirm and
wave her hands around the doc
tors as If in extreme pain.
After their client had left, the
doctors would find their jackets
picked and watches missing.
Eight pocketbooks and five
watches belonging to the doctors
who had treated the "tonsilitis
girl" have been recovered from
pawn shops by the police.

Water Power Put to Good Use.

An interesting example of the de-
vlopment of water power is reported
from Cashmere. There the Jhelum
river has been made to generate cleo
trical power to deepen it's own chan
mel, and so prevent the overlooking of
100000 acres of land, which are thus
made available for agriculture. The
fact that no coal was available, and
that the site was 200 miles from the
nearest railway station, made the use
of water power imperative in this
case.
