deemed the local ecclesiastical
authority OF doubtful validity,
and appealed to the diocese for
confirmation of his title to the
pew in question.
In the episcopal grant, now the
property Of the trustees, the al
lotment OF the pew is duly con-
firmed and the circumstances Of
the case fully described. There
is no doubt that the newly re-
paired pew had previously been
at Shakespeare's disposal In his
capacity Of owner Of New Place.
The grant notes that the pew

wealthy family Of the town. With
William Combe and many of his
kinsfolk Shakespeare enjoyed
close personal relations. The

Sport clothes como under two
distinct headings this year.
There are clothes destined for
sports such rs riding habits and
knicker suits. and then there
are jaunty sport toys that will
never witness tho links. the
court or tho paddock but which
nevertheless have resulted from
the sverincreasing demand for
swagger. sporty clothes for coun-
Try and town wear. The popu-
larfty Of sport clothes has
grown tremendously and this
season will mark the very height
Of tho sport era.
You may never follow tho
bride paths in Rock Creek
Park or set your foot on q
tennis court: you may be only
one Of the onlookers at the
track or the country club. Your
sports may be confined to walk
ing and motoring but neverthe-
less le dernier mot Of fashion
q sport clothes and every we'll
dressed woman will devote much
space In her wardrobe to sport
attire. The secret Is this-those
jaunty. nonchalant tweeds and
Aomespuns in soft colors steal
~ much as ten years from the
matron and are very becoming.
So 70 fair sex. rejoice at the
reign Of sport clothes and make
De most Of It!
QUEER that tattered clothes
should become fashionable, not
really tattered clothes but Just raw
edges that were purposely forgot
ten by the creative modiste! In
other words, milady's hem has not
been sadly neglected bur mas also
been affected by the whims Of
Fashion. The result Is the sport
skirt minus q hem and instead
Haunting its shaggy, fringed edges
about town to be admired.
And the ones displayed in the
shops are really very attractive,
made UP in all manner Of fabrics,
with the bottom frayed about two
inches giving it a jaunty effect.
Not only is this novel finishing
touch used on skirts but also on
the new coat-dresses for Spring.
These are made up In sport fabrics
and the side opening, sleeves and
the bottom Of the skirt are frayed.
This type of dress by the way
promises to be widely approved
and the rought edges increases its
individuality, adding that touch of
rough, urban charm SO character
tstio Of the new Spring sport toys.
A MOTHER novel tendency in the
fashion world Is the wrap
around skirt minus side seams.
This not only prevails in sport
slSirts but Is likewise used to ad-
vantage on many Of the beautifully
drpped afternoon gowns that are
making their appearance in Wash
tngton's smart establishments.
On ono lovely model Of lustrous,
supple silk the skirt started on
enc side swathed entirely about
the figure again and fastened in
back on the other side being caught
UP In a graceful drape. The effect
was vary artistic and 1t was fash
toned in such a way that there
need b. no fear of q strong breeze

IN She sport realms the wrap
around skirt is equally popular.

OPP GRAFTON IS
ATTEMPTE BY
IRATE HUSBAND
Victim Confined at Hospital;
Refuses to- Divulge Name
of Husband Who Appear
ed With Gun.

Suffering from the effects of an
attempted operation performed
according to his own story, by an
irate husband, man. 81 years old,
who has given several names,
among them S. Patterson and 5.
Howell, is confined at a local hos
pital. The operation was crudely
performed and attending physi-
clans are still unable to determine
whether it will accomplish the
purpose of the outraged husband.
The injured man Of many names
refuses to divulge the name of the
family which he invaded with
such tragic results. He did state,
however, that the house was To-
Gated on Third street, but police de-
lieve this is a blind to cover the
real location.
According to the story told when
Patterson on Howell was forced TO
seek medical attention some IL
hours after the operation" the
trouble took place early yesterday
morning when the husband discov-
cred him and the wife. At the
point Of a gun, the husband tied
the mans hands behind him and
forced him to submit to the opera
! ton.
For several hours, the injured
man thought his injuries of minor
/ Importance, but late Tuesday af-
! ternoOn he was forced to go to a
doctor and was removed to a hos
/ pital for treatment. For a while
it was thought that the cut which
he had received might prove fatal,
He refuses to swear out a war
rant against the husband or to
even give the police a clue as to
his identity.

ANT|-V|CE PLAN
DISCUSSED. WITH
CORNERSTONE rs
Representatives of 80 Wom-
ems Clubs Urge County
Board to Take Action to
Preserve Moral Peace.

Just how to deal with the
"dead" automobile parked along
the road and in which it is said
turks the germ of the automobile
evil" was up for discussion at the
meeting of the county commits
sioners yesterday morning. The
question was brought to the at
t2ntion of the commission by a
Ammittee of women representing
clubs of the county and city.
The women urged that a large
lumber of mounted deputy sher-
rs be appointed for the purpose
{ ranging over the county roads
md investigating the actions OF
cars parked along the road.
The proposition was taken un-
der advisement by the county
board, but seems to have a num-
Der of stumbling blocks, among
them, the many miles of road
which would have to be watched;
the large number of officials
which would be required to do
the watching and the small num-
Der of dollars in the county treas
ury with which to pay the Off
GERS. 1t was also pointed out that
there might be legal stumbling
blocks to such an inspection of
autos and that it might be hard
for officers to find an excuse for
making the inspection and getting
away with it without getting a
broken head.
Various methods were discussed
that have been adopted with
success in other sections of the
country. A. conference with the
district attorney will be held by
the committee regarding the legal
possibilities of the proposal and
the question will be taken up at
the next meeting of the county
commission.
1t was also suggested by the
women that all dance halls be
closed at midnight and that no
more dance hall licenses be is
sued. Following the conference
with the county board the women
discussed the various anti-vice
1 campaign details with officials of
l the sheriff's office.
