Jewell JOttings.

Jewell, Feb. 11.-Remember when
MIR. Cocksure told you we'd never see
the time again when corn would sell be-
low dollar bushel?
If the next postmaster Of Jewell
is a woman, a spinster of course, then
no doubt all the unhitched old jiggs
here and hereabouts who have sweet
hearts in other towns will mail their
love letters at Hotel De Kirk.
The annual convention of the Luther
League of the Story City district was
held in Jewell last Friday, Saturday
ard Sunday. Pastors, delegates, lay
men and laywomen from all the sur.
rounding towns and country were here
in large numbers and all the sessions
morning, afternoon and evening, were
well attended.
Mr.. Roy A. Bonner and Miss Ger
trude f. Riley were married at the
home of the brides mother, Mrs. Sarah
T.. Riley, Wednesday afternoon, the
Rev. II. l.. Wissler of Gilbert, a former
Jewell pastor, officiating. Mrs. Bonner
is one OF Hamilton county's popular
school teachers and Roy is sturdy
Lyon township farmer. A long, happy
married life and lots of prosperity is
the wish of their many friends.

DIVORCE Deere
DENIED IN CASE
Of Col. hyatt
Ruling of Court in Sensa-
tiOnal Case is Made in
an Almost Desert
er Court Room.
DECREE IS REFUSED
On Other Hand, Wife is Re-
fused Judgment for Sep
arate Maintenance.

In the quiet of an almost deserted
court room, Judge Thompson Friday
afternoon refused decree Of divorce
10 Col. N. p. Hyatt. He also dismiss
ee the cross petition of Edith NJ. Hyatt,
his wife, asking judgment against her
husband for separate maintenance.
Only four people, besides court at
taches and court house employees,
We're in the court room as the opinion
was rendered which brought to close
the most sensational case heard in the
district court Of Hamilton county in
a good many years. The quiet of the
almost vacant room and the slow voice
of the judge, which almost echoed in
the bigness and emptiness Of the place,
was in direct contrast to the crowd of
sensation seekers who thronged the
room daily during the progress Of the
trial.
In an oral opinion, reviewing the
case in detail, Judge Thompson passed
upon the legal aspects and the ques-
lions of fact, one by one. And among
the facts in dispute during the trial, he
singled out among the first that OF the
fatherhood of the Hyatt son. The
claim Of Col. Hyatt that he is not the
hoy's father is not worthy of considera-
ton, said the judge. THE plaintiff is
the father of the boy" said he.
While the evidence showed incOm-
patibility, that is no ground for
divorce. The husband charged his wife
with cruel and inhuman conduct, but
the court held that this charge had
rot been proven and that the conduct
Of Mrs. Hyatt toward her husband
during the past several years was rich
~ deserved by him. -. ,....,
AsstO Mrs. Hyatt's request for sepa-
rate maintenance, the court refused
this on the grounds that Col. Hyatt
has practically nothing, while the evil
dence fairly showed that she had
about $4,000 in monies and property.
The court expressed the belief that the
husband had not over $1,000 and, In
view Of this fact, it would be useless
to award separate maintenance.

Ribbons are making themselves
useful in many directions on all kinds
of apparel from head to foot of fair
ladies and their children, but girdles
remain the most important of their
missions, increasing in beauty and
ingenious designing each year. Two
toned satin ribbons, dark on one side
and light on the other, inspire peauti-
full examples. One Of these, ribbon
about five inches wide, has two loops
at each side over the hips. These
loops are six and seven inches long
and a cluster of little ribbon roses is
placed at their base Long-pointed
ends are knotted a little below the
waistline IL the back. A similar
girdle OF light-colored, plain satin
ribbon has hanging ends and loops
at each side. 1t is made of sash
ribbon and has fiat, conventional
flowers of ribbon set about the crushed
girdle. Two-inch ribbons In the dark
err colors, bordered with very narrow,
picot-edged ribbons In contrasting
color make pretty sashes, brought
about the waist and knotted at one
side. Like all their companions they
are bedecked with ribbon flowers In
fiat applique-one at each end and o
row about the waist.

COLONIAL HOUSE
NOW IS POPULAR
Chief Charm Is the Simplicity Of
the Exterior.
WHOLE INTERIOR is DISABLE
Only Within Recent Years That the
Beauty Of This Type Of Home Has
Come to Be Recognized by
American Architects.
by WILLIAM A. RADFoRp.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining 10 the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account OF his wide experience

1t was not until the last few years,
comparatively, that American archi-
tects recognized the beauty of the
homes that were erected In New Eng
land during the first century after the
landing of the Pilgrims. Many of
these horaes are still in splendid
state of preservation and still are oc-
cupied But until recently their own
ers could not see any beauty in their
plain lines and weather-beaten exte-
riors.
Now, however, this type of archi-
lecture, which was originated by the
builders of the Seventeenth century. is
most popular Colonial homes of all
sizes aud constructed of all the differ
ent sorts of building materials are
erected throughout the country. The
chief charm Of the exterior Of a CO
lonial house is It's simplicity and bal
ance. Each window has a counterpart

trance door, which is placed exactly

open fireplace, on each side sOf which
are French doors opening onto the
porch, while at each end there is a
large window, admitting plenty Of
light and making the room a CHEEKY
place for the family to spend leisure
hours.
At the left Of the entrance hall, also
through a cased double door opening,
is the dining room, Is by 10 feet. This

exception being the porch pillars and
the fan-shaped lights over the door.

skirts require blouses that are de-
signed for the same kind Of service
and a demand for attractive tailored
bl0uses has been answered by the
appearance of fine models In taffeta,

As nearly all the skirts are striped

blouses are simply designed and plain.
Some of them have lingerie collars and
vestees by which means they may be
