ISOLATED Press, Night.)-Governor Len
Small today was freed of every charge
against him except that of conspiring
with Lieutenant Governor Fred f..
Sterling aud Vernon Curtis to defraud
the state of 81 .coo.o0 during Mr.. Stcr-
ling's term as state treasurer.

statement declaring that what occur
rcd today in the circuit court of Lake
county VIII lay bare to the pubic
mind the methods employed and the in
spira tion causing these indictments,
The date of his trial on the one charge

his decision on the motion to quash
tho indictments ordered the governor
to trial January on an indictment
charging him with empezzlement of
S50o.00 during the last six months oil
his term as state treasurer
States Attorney G. Fred Mortimer
and his assistants staged vigorous
fight to bring the governor to trial first
on the conspiracy charge ana iaillng
in that nulled the embezzlenent IN
dctmcnt rather than try IT first. James
II wi1kerson, assistant attorney gem
crnl of tho state desired TO try the
conspiracy case first because all the
books and records needed in il had
been left In tho treasuror's office and

point lace below the knee.
One illustration shows a pair of
pantalettes of gray satin meteor to
| accompany a tailored suit.
If you want to try wearing a pair
| of pantalettes with your spring suit,
buy a ready-made pair by all means.
| It requires no small amount of Skill
| to cut and fit one of these garments,
| You may be able to dc it after sew
eral trials but it is almost certain your
first pair of pantalettes will be either
too loose or too tight and will be
| baggy and binding at the wrong
| places.
Another illustration shows new
street petticoat; very trim and slim
| of line, you see, SO that 1t Will not
spoil the silhouette of plain cloth
skirt, or a draped one of soft silk or
satin. The top is Of silk jersey and
there are as few gathers as possible
at the waistline. The f1ounce is &C
Gordon pleated and though it rs amply
full for grace there is no flare to the
petticoat The founces are made or
satin, with appliqued trimming OF mar
row ribbon-a new and very pretty
idea.
On the dancing petticoat you may
have all the f1ounces and frills you
want-provided it is to be worn under
a frock that flares from waistline to
hem. If the frock is one of those
cllnging, draped affairs with classic
lines, no petticoat for you, but pair
of clinging silk Knockers! But many
of this seasons dance frocks have
drapery falling from a distended hip
line and the Spanish influence in dress
is bringing in f1ounced and fiaring eve
ming gowns. And with these gowns go
dainty petticoats as a matter Of course.
The pictured petticoat Is made OF
peach pink satin cut out in deep seal
lops that are hand embroidered at the
edge, with festoons Of embroidered
roses and leaves done in each scallop |
in shades of pink and siivery green. |
Under the scallops is a. deep pleated |
founce.
The vogue for lace in costume is |
bringing back lace fiounced petticoats |
and some of them are exquisitely beau |
tiful, as for instance a dancing pet
ticoat of silver tissue with flounces of
white shadow lace, looped up here |
and there with pale blue silk rosebuds. |
For wear with tub frocks at the South |
land there are petticoats of white |
linen with ffounces Of ungathered flet !

FIRST COUSIN!

! NJ you happen to be one of the
~ women who have stuck to the idea
that a petticoat is an indispensable
81 adjunct OF feminine costume, you
| probably do not dream how many
| women do not wear petticoats. Prob
| ably four out of five women have
abandoned the petticoat for those BIZ
furcated garments variously called
! boomers, Knockers, pantablooms and
pantalettes.
There are women who never feel
comfortably warm without a petit
coat. Even the thinnest muslin pet
ticoat seems enough to keep them
from catching cold while in a pair
Of close fitting jersey Knockers they
have a shivery sensation about the
knees. The Knockers are really warm
er, of course. and when once you have
/ become accustomed to them, they are
deal more comfortable. But there
is something appealing to all woman
kind in the idea of a petticoat-par-
ticularly if it is a pretty petticoat of
silken stuff-and there seems not
much danger that boomers, Knockers
or pantalettes Will ever entirely Dust
the dainty petticoat from its firm posi-
ton in feminine favor.
This winter the petticoat is a gar
ment for wear with evening dress
rather than with street clothes. Tail
ored skirts are almost invariably worn
over we'll fitted pantalettes of silky
jersey material. Skirts are so narrow
and so plain that a petticoat under
meath is apt to get into Jumps and
spoil the slim line of the silhouette.
And unless il is made of the softest,
silkiest material a petticoat will make
a narrow dress skirt ride up in dis
tressing manner. If you have ever
tried to economic by buying a cheap
petticoat of imitation silk fabric and
essayed to wear it under a skirt of
taffeta, crepe de chine or satin, you
know what this distressing 'riding-up''
result is. Petticoat and dress skirt
wind about your limbs and the edge
of the dress skirt anchors itself just
below your knees as you walk The
only way to avoid the disaster is to
pace very slowly and with tiny, mine
ing steps.
So, since good silk petticoats have
been expensive Injuries for the past
year or two, women have taken to
Knockers. And having discovered the
comfort of the Knockers, they are
loathe to abandon them, though silk
petticoats are again within the reach
of average folk and not for plutocrats
alone. You can pick up a very sat
isfactory street petticoat now for five

skirts Short And scant
There is not much change in suit
skirts. They are still very narrow and
straight Of line. though there is evil
dence. In spring frocks. that skirts
nre going to be much wider and some
what longer very soon. Suit skirts,
however. seem to have decided to
make themselves as unobtruslve as
possible in order that Jackets may
have all the glory. Some of the skirts
have an irregular edge--a style fea
ture OF the season-and the width

the skirts of spring suits are from
eight TO twelve inches from the
ground, the former length preferred.

A shorter skirt Is apt to clear the ton

or there are panels at the sides. Some
