BY GENE COIN

sn Francisco, Cal, Jan. 20.-Jus.
how completely is woman a slave to
fashion?
Does she really dress to please men?
Or does she dress to please herself?
From a strange quarter comes an
answer to these questions-from behind
prison bars-from San Quentin, Cali.

1t comes from women serving terms
from few years duration to life"
Behind Grim Walls.
These women are locked behind grim
walls, in narrow cells.
Only now and then may they mingle
even among themselves. Their cloth,
ing is regulated by a prisoner designer.
But for those of an occasional official,
there is no mans eyes to see.
In such a place, with the shadows
of solitude, of misery, of conscience
hanging low, is woman indifferent TO
fashion?
On Christmas Day the Salvation
Army distributed among the women
prisoners n pair of curling irons and
small mirror for each.
All Heed Decree.
And already a new style in hair ar
rangement has been established.
Mrs. Louise Peete, sent from Los An
gcles for one of the most brutal MUIR
ders in years, is recognized as arbter
of styles.
Mrs. Peete was trim, fashiondbly
dressed, when she arrived. This gave
her a standing and reputation the other
women pnvpr hpya fOrqOttpn.
BY common consent, the first curl
ing iron was presented TO her, and
quickly down the corridors flashed word
Of the change of fashion and decreed

Fashions

Paris, Jan. Feline yellow is be-
coming a favorite shade for afternoon
frocks at present. In soft crepe it is
unusually lovely and shows TO great
advantage when trimmed with the guam
THY of opalescent beads and bugles
now in vogue.
Paris, Jan. 26.-Many OF the even
ing gowns of today affect a scarf
drapery which has a new twist to it..
The drapery hangs in a long veil or
loop from an armlet just above the
elbow. As it falls it widens till it
swathes the front of the gown and be-
comes an integral part of the skirt.
London, Jan. e6.-Glittering fabrics
and strikingIy rich colOrs are the chief
characteristics of the winter season.
Except for comparatively few gowns in
period styles, the lines are straight and
the patterns simple. GirdleS and
sleeves, however. may be as eccentric
as you please today.
London. Jan. 26.-Black flower bowls
and yellow breakfast services are
things the modern boudoir is acquir-
ing today. The black flower bowls
must, of course, be filled with the
brightest of red and blue blossoms,
while the very yellow breakfast sets
are supposed to help one start the
day in a sunny mood.

CELEBRATE FOURTH
 QUIETLY IN PUTNAM

Children al County Home Have Gala Observanee.-HsveC Clam Bake

Putnam had is customary quiet celebration of the Fourth. While there was considerable firing of of revol- vers. fire crackers and the like, tnis part of the days observance cannot be characterized as noisy, as it was not continuous There were times during the day that the city was as quiet as a church.
 The Elks' Fair furnished the cnief entertainment for the day and thousands gathered at the grounds Wildwood Park, where there was dancing and other features, attracted large crowds Celebrations m near by and distant towns drew others from the city.
 Putnam police maintained watch ful eye over things in general and only where eeIebrators were altogeth- CT too zealous in their activities did they interfere. h four or live eases the police took reyolvers from youths.
 No automobile accidents within the city limits were reported to the po- lice. 8 fact that is regarded as re- markable, considering the nundreds of cars that came and went from the Elks' Fair during the day and the many others that passed through the city enroute to other places. The ex- cellent arrangements made by Captain of Police Jaryis for the handling Jf traffic and his aaying plenty of men at the important and dangerous cor ners, had a lot 10 do with the satis- factory conditions commented on herewith.
 At the Windham County Temper ary Home, the Fourth was gloriously celebrated by the lls boys and girls, under the direction of the matron, Mrs. D. C. Park. and her assistants. A feature of the day was the serving of Rhode Island clambake, with every thing in season. that goes to make up & complete dinner of this kind. In all five bushels of clans were consumed by the children. And if one thinks they did not relish the clans and all the good things served, all he has to do is to make casual inquiry of any one of the l1s children. He'll find out in emphatic terms.
