10 Ereshen Velvet

Most velvets may be freshened by
steaming from the wrong side. One
way is to draw the velvet through the
steam from a teakettle. Care must
be taken that the teakettle contains
only little water, or the water may
spatter out and spot the velvet. As
special precautiOn several thick
ness of cheeseclOth may be tied over
the spout. A cone of heavy paper
placed around the spout will direct
the steam and make it possible to hold
the velvet farther from the heat. An
other way to steam velvet is to place
several thicknesses of damp cloth over
a hot iron and pass the back of the
velvet quickly over the cloth. Velvet
so creased that it cannot be freshened
by steaming may be "panned" by
steaming, and then ironing it in one
direction.

NOTES OF INTEREST
Sash to Brighten Up Old Serge Frock;
Capes of Soft Fabrics-Round
Toed Shoes.

One way of freshening up an old
blue serge frock is to buy a bright
striped sash, with long silk fringe.
These sashes are expensive, for they
cost from fifteen to twenty dollars, but
they give a really striking touch to
the frock with which they are used.
DirectOire guimpes are made of or
candle, sheer but stiff, with tiuted
collars that stand up around the neck
and chin. They are to be worn with
coat suits.
Some of the shops are showing de-
cidedly attractive capes for spring,
made of soft and lovely fabrics, with
collars that fasten high about the
throat. below which the cape falls
away from the front without any fast
ening.
Gray frOcks of geOrgette are made
with much use of dyed filet-dyed
gray, of course, exactly to match the
shape of the georgette.
Many of the new spring snOes show
round toes. Some Of them have low
French heel, a baby Louis heel, as it
is called. Some of the shoes are made
of suede of some shade cut away to
show designs in leather or suede of
darker or lighter shade beneath-a
trick resorted to also by the glove
makers. who in some Of the new
gauntlet gloves have done the same
thing.
Last summer in Paris there were
many shoes with fringed tongues at
the front. These were made in leath-
er and suede. Today there are
cringed gauntleted gloves, sometimes

Spanish Garment That Is Cow
Indoor Outfit.
Material Too Valuable to Be Cut:
CleVerIy Folded to Give Most
Pleasing Outline.

The fascinating garment which the
French call "un saut de lit" is very
much in evidence just now, observes
Paris fashion authority. Life is so
full of movement that one is only too
happy to take a short rest when one
can, and it is such a comfort to throw
on picturesque garment which does
not restrain the form anywhere, but
which, nevertheless, looks attractive
enough to be worn at the tea table.
Jenny makes a speciality of cozy in
door wraps and l have sketched one
of her latest models for your benefit.
1t was made of very soft and rich
satin in delicious blush-rose tint and
the immensely long chenille fringes
were of the same color.
This was a throw on" garment
without sleeves, a sort of glorified
cape, which was easily draped up over
the arms at the sides.

FASHIONS IN BH.IEF

Touches of lingerie are appearing
on suits and dresses for spring.
Cotton fabrics and cotton braids ap-
pliqued on cloth are a spring feature.
Lockets fashioned from cameo pins
are worn suspended on black silk rib
bOns.
Serge is found oftenest in the
straight little afternoon frOcks which
make a virtue of the utmost simplic-
ity.
Many afternoon frocks have long
cape to go with them in the same col
or as the material, either in silk or
woolen goods.
Lace sleeves are featured in some
of the elaborate new blOuses. They
end at about the elbow-or a little
below it-and the points of the lace
are finished with big colored glass
beads.
Crepe de chine, crepe georgette,
mousseline de sole, charmeuse and
satin are favorite materials for after
noon frocks. Black, navy, maroon
and gray are the leading shades.
Patent leather forms the narrow
belt which is part of a blouse of or
ange georgette. The heavy leather
belt is in interesting contrast to the
sheer fabric Of the blouse.
COckatOOs have come in for cOnsid-
GRAFTON. They are sometimes en-
broidered in natural COlOrs on a gar
den hat or smOck, and sometimes EN-
broidered on a bag of satin or velvet.

 Lieutenant Thomas H.

Joseph Phillips, baritone, in their joint recital at the Elks theater
 "In my four years service over seas" says Lieutenant George, q met a great number of men from the Pacific coast states. This coast tour of ours makes me hope that I can renew some of those battlefield friendships. If any of them happen to live iii Prescott, I certainly hope they'll come to the recital Thursday cvening-and look me up afterwards.

Charges of arson against Dave Johnson, of Groom Creek, yesterday were dismissed by request of the county attorney at preliminary hearing in justice court yesterday. The county attorney stated there was a lack of evidence to convict.
 Arson charges against Johnson, the first to be brought in this county in some years, were lodged by John sons brother-in-law, Grant Bennett, who complained Johnson had set fire to the old Monte Cristo mill. Tracks of a horse with one unshod hoof leading past the mill to the Midnight Test road, discovered No vember s, five days after the fire, was the sole evidence in the case. It was shown that Johnson drove cattle continuously through the re- zion. and that the tracks of his shoe less horse were to be found all over the Groom Creek hills.

 PRAISE WORKS OF
 ARIZONA AUTO CLUB

PHOENIX, Dec. 1.-Two men of national reputation in highway cir cles have seen fit to praise the auto mobile club of Arizona for the fine showing it has made, and for the eX- cellence of the service which it is giving the automobile travelling pub lie. One of these men is Harry J. Locke, publisher of western road guide books, and the other is Oliver Femme, former president of the Illi- nois Automobile club.
 With one exception" declared Mr. Locke, "the road signs being erected by the Arizona club are the best in the country. They are large enough, the printing is clear, and with black lettering on a white background they are legible at night. The Auto mobile Club of Arizona is to be con graduated on the thoroughness of its work in placing these signs along the public highways. This is a real service not only to the residents of the state, but to all who use the roads, and like a magnet, will draw travel this way"
 Here is, Mir. Tempe's compliment:
 'The service rendered by the Auto mobile Club. of Arizona will com pare most favorably with that of any similar organization in the country It is agreeably surprising to find so energetic an organization in new and sparsely settled state like Ari- zona. Auto clubs have done much toward the development of good roads and it would certainly appear that Arizona is abreast of the times in this respect"

Two Years After Death of Dew ey Rancher, All But Share of His Two Young Daughters Is Lost, According to Widow
(From sarurday's Daily)

kEIOn OdllSJ
 How the estate inherited by Mary Rhopeter from George Rhopeter, rancher of Dewey who died in Feb ruary, 1920, was dissipated, was told to the authorities day before yester- day by the widow, and led yesterday to the issuance of warrant for the arrest of Walter H. Alton, garage proprietor, on a charge of embezzle- ment.
 The county attorney, who was put in possession of details by Mrs. Rho peter early in the afternoon Of De cember l, was unable on that day, he said, to cast up the accounts and decide upon a charge under which to seek the person of Mir. Alton.
 By the time the warrant was is sued and the facts permitted to be made public yesterday Alton was said by sheriff's officers to have left clouds of dust along the trails west, with Los Angeles as possible des- tination. Efforts, of course, were made to apprehend him.
 The estate of George Rhopeter was settled up by the attorneys last February. Mrs. Rhopeter was given her share and that of her two minor daughters was placed in the hands of the Commercial Trust and Saw ings bank as their guardian. That portion of the estate is int@ct, ac- cording to the attorneys in the pro bate case last night
 Alton promised to marry Mrs. Rhopeter, according to statements made to the authorities, and upon this promise obtained various sums of money from her with the osten- sib1e purpose of Investing them in . his business, the Arizona garage, at the corner of Willis and Montezuma street Mrs. Rhopeter said that in all, Alton had obtained about $S,500 from her. He had dismissed the all legation that, being already married, lie could not marry her, the com plainant said
 Alton confided some of his troub les to paper and these letters were turned over to the authorities by their anxious recipient. In his let ters Alton is said to complain of the depression and to ask continually for more money.
 The largest sum obtained at one time, according to Mrs. Rhopeter, was $3000 She was said to have got this money together by means of sales of some of the assets of the estate of her husband.
 Mrs. Rhopeter has lately been liv- ing at Los Angeles where her two daughters are in school According to the complaint she has been left with very little ready money.
