would be counter-baIarced by returns.
He further made clear that no start
would be made until a terminal for the

WOMAN IS SOUGHT
AS KEY TO HOLO-UP
Her Telephone Message After
Finding OF Body Is
Clue.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. August left sheriff S
officers can find the woman whose tele-
phone message led TO the Identification
of Angelo Franciscos body last night,
they believe they have the key to the
$4,000 robbery Of the State Bank at
McHenry. III. Monday.
Francisco'S body was found pronped
in the rear seat of an abandoned auto
mobile. partly hidden by the tall corn
in a field near McHsury yesterday.
There were AZ bullet holes in the ma
chine. which was identified as the one
in which the bank robbers made their
escape.
The body was taken to morgue,
where FranciSco'S parents last night
identified it. Officers wondered why the
Franchises came so promptly to view the
body, whereupon the dead mans father,
Anthony Francisco. explained.
Angelo. the father said had been
making his home with a woman whose
name was given the police. This wom-
an. he said telephoned the elder Fran
cisco late yesterday suggesting that he
look at the body Of the man found in
the automobile. in the belief that 1t
might be Angelo. Police believe the
woman knew about the plot to rob the
bank and feared TO attcup, Francisco'S
identification herself.

Uses of Velvet for All Occasions
BY MARY MARSHALL.

velvet evening gowns, velvet hats and
velvet shoes.
The world of fashion seems to have
gone velvet mad. The limit of this vel
vet madness has been reached, think,
in the new nightgowns and chemiseS
made of transparent velvet. But just
because cannot imagine wearing such
garments with any sort of comfort or
convenience I am not showing sketch
of either. Instead am showing you a
really practical little nightgown of flesh
colored crepe de chine and lace trimmed
with blue velvet bows at the shoulders.
Velvet shoulder straps are used on
many of the new step-ins, nightgowns
and slips. If you don't begrudge the
time spent in removing the straps when
the garments are washed, and cleaning
the velvet separately, there is no rea-
son why you should not adopt the fash
ion A narrow, velvet ribbon shoulder
strap for an evening slip has a decided
advantage over one of ordinary satin,
because it clings to the material of the
frock and does not slip.
A charming new combination I saw
the other day was made of pure white
crepe de chine trimmed with chocolate
colored Alencon lace, and from the wide
lace inset at the top of the garment
there were shoulder straps of chocolate
colored velvet ribbon. A nightgown of
distinction was made of white silk
voile trimmed with black lace, with a
belt of black velvet ribbon. French
lingerie makers seem to favor lace of
tone darker than the material used for
the garment and lace and net OF a
deep beige, coffee or chocolate tone are
used on both fleSh-colored and white
crepe de chine, silk wolfe and georgette.
Little girls frocks are as short as
ever, even though those of their
mammas have gone down an inch or so.
This means that little undertakings must
be very short indeed. So for the help
of little girls mothers we have prepared
diagram pattern of the very short
drawers such as French girls have worn
for some time, but which are still some
thing of a novelty in this country. If
you would like a copy, please send me
a stamped, self-addreSsed envelope, and
1 will send you copy Of the pattern
at once, with sketch and working direc-
lions.

Roast Duck With
Celery Stufina

Select duck weighing about six
pounds. Have it cleaned, saving the
liver. gizzard and heart to use for
giblet gravy. Wash the duck thorough
ly inside and out. Drain and fill with
the following stuffing:
Break up enough stale bread to make
two and one-half cups. add one-half
cup finely cut celery, one teaspoon salt,
one teaspoon minced onion, one-half
teaspoon poultry seasoning. one table
spoon chopped parsley. Mix thorough
ly and add enough hot water to make
the dressing moist enough to hold to-
gether. Stuff the duck, sew the OPEN
ing or fasten with toothpickS. truss
or tie the legs and wings and place
the duck back down IN the roasting
pan. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, flour
and roast in moderate oven-375 de-
gTees-for one and three-quarters to
two hours.
Cover the liver, gizzard and the heart
with cold water. add slice of onion,
one teaspoon of salt and boil gently for
three-quarters of an hour. Then chop,
saving the liquid in which they were
boiled. When the duck is done, remove
to hot platter. drain off most of the
fat, removing all but about three ia
teaspoons. Add to it about two table
spoons of flour, mix thoroughly, then
stir in the chopped giblets and one
and one-half to two cups boiling water.
Cook until thickened and season to
t0G'o with salt and pepper.

Before the hair is entirely dry a

Here is a good recipe for the purpose
Three ounces cologne water. one dram
tincture cantharides, one-half dram oil

well. After applying the tonic give
the scalp a vigorous massage for 10
minutes. The same tonic may be used

am often asked what may be done
for hair that is badly streaked with
gray? In time all the hair will turn
gray and the coiffures will have a
better appearance. In the meantime
bluing rinse used after the shampoo
will sometimes give a more uniform
tone to the hair The other alterna-
tive is to have the hair dyed.
1t is when the hair is just beginning
to turn that the use of hair restorers
and scalp tonics can check the grazing
for a time. A head of hair that is
predominantly gray cannot be made
to return to its original shade.

SUB ROSA
~Peacocks of the Present.
BY MIMI.

The splendor of the peacock's tail is
exceeded only by the raucous quality
of his peacock voice. The tail feathers
would make many a japanese sunset.
The voice-its a scream. The peacock
evidently wants somebody to murder
him.
This is the idea Why these ornate
males among the beasts of the field and
the birds of the air? When it comes
to the peacock's tail. the lions name,
the millinery on the hind end of the
gentleman bird of paradise, and even
the ROSTERS comb, you can't beat these
fellows for fancy displays.
The females of the respective species
are dowdy and drab by comparison. All
the spiffy millinery has been swiped by
the males. It's so with lion and
lioness, rooster and hen, duck and
drake, swan and swain. It's the he
ones of the species, mind you, who are
dolled up like Solomon in all his glory.
Maybe we don't know why, but we
do know that the ones with the tails
and horns, fins and feathers are not
the lady birds or lady beasts. And
this sort of thing goes on until we
come to the human family, where the
situation is reversed, for it's the female
of the race who does the dolling up.
That is. it was. A generation ago,
if the back numbers of the fashion
plates are correct, 1t was the woman
who did all the dolling up with ,furs
and feathers. laces and ribbons, lingerie
and millinery. The men went around
in black and white, gray and brown.
But now its's different and even a
near-sighted man can see that woman
has given up SuperfluouS adornment in
the way of switch and skirt, sleeve and
petticoat, lace and embroidery. Woman
dresses pretty much like man, for she's
all Strengthened out and shortened up.
But here's the funny part of it. Man
has picked up some of the ideas that
woman dropped, for he's the one who
is dolling in the various hues of the
rainbow. You know his ties and socks
and you can hear them coming before
you see the whites of his eyes.
He has given up his undertaker's
outfit for pattern that would shame
Joseph's coat of many colors. Pearl
SpatS, tinted shirts and lilac pajamas
show that the gentleman is putting on
some color. He belongs to the peacock
order of the giddy present.
Maybe it's evolution working back
ward, for the males were once the sex
with the tricky adornment, and now
they seem to be at it again. We are
seeing changes that waited for hun
dreds of years. And how the time
flies!
Well, anyhow, If the females of the
various tribes managed to worry along
with their overadorned mates, I guess
we can stand the fellows who dress
to kill these days.
Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries
directed to this paper, provided a stamped,

Hearts and Purse Strings.

You doubtlessly read of the girl who
obtained some publicity recently when
she offered herself in marriage to any
eligible male with $4,000, who could
provide a home for her parents. Num-
erous males responded to her offer out
there we're all sorts OF bitches.
This sort of thing is done every day.
ANY one familiar with matrimonial
agencies and publications knows OF
these offers. It is extremely doubtful
If anv woman can strike fair bargain
bv trading her hand for flsttul OF
paper currency, no matter what the
amount.
The truth is that every woman is not
content with what she or her husband
may have. The woman who thinks
$4,000 will solve the complexities OF
life may find after securing the sum
that she needs more.
It is questionable, too, whether some
women can make any amount DO, IL
is not always the need of money Wnlcn
causes distress. so much as the way IN
which the money is spent. The man
also is entitled. to some consideration.
If his $4,000 or any other amount
makes him eligible for girls hand'
he is within his rights to examine MS
side of the bargain.
Anv girl who advertises her hand In
marriage for money is patiently looking
exclusively for money. The possesSor
of the required amount is only INCL
dental in her quest. =,
Married women in legion will tell
Young, hopeful maidens With hopes OF
"doing well" that money will not solve
all of the problems. There is no as
surance that a man with money will
always have it, and if he does not, then
something stronger than money must
hold the fort. Possession OF money
does not mean two can live harmonl-
ously and happily together.
Divorces are more common among
the wealthy classes than the modest
ones. Partially because divorces are
not inexpensive and alimony is bur-
den. but also because people with
money find leisure to get into trouble.
People with money, too, become in
dependent of one another, and mutual
ly disinterested, in some Of the higher
strata of society.
A man of good character with ap-
pealing characteristics need not have
SIC, 1000 or any other specific sum. All
he needs is good job and a little am
bition and industry. The girl that at
tracts such a. man is legion, and on
such matches are our marriage institu-
lions founded.
OF this we can only say no woman
is good wife for money alone, and
no man is a good husband because Of
a healthy bank account. A worthy hus-

-FOUR responsibility.
How often you have heard a woman
say: I'm sorry but I wasn't respoh-
sible." Quite as frequently you have
observed that the woman discovered
she was responsible.
Every woman is not experienced, or
well enough informed, to know when
she is or is not assuming legal respon-
sibility for debt, a bill, or a financial
obligation of some sort.
For example, a woman might give
her child a note authorizing store
to permit the child to charge pur-
chases If the child exceeded her
authority in buying, her mother would
be responsible for any interchangeable
or uncreditable purchases made.
In instructing a child to desist from
pledging ones credit anywhere, one is
not absolving oneself from any respon-
sibility for the child's debts. AS long
as one is his or her parents or guardian,
she must assume responsibility for the
child's acts.
In order to escape responsibility, one
must inform the other party of ones
instructions as we'll as the child.
When merchandise is sent to you on
memorandum, you are responsible for
the safe return of such merchandise as
you do not buy. While 1t is true some
stores are insured against loss, their in
surers will ordinarily try to prove the
liability yours, and collect for the in
sured.
Your responsibility ends when you
deliver the merchandise in, good order
to representative or shipping agent.
Some women do not know that If
their automobiles causes property or
personal damage, they are liable for
such damage, and not their chauffeurs.
There may be criminal proceedings
against the driver, but the civil action
is directed against the owner of the
vehicle.
: It is unwise to guess at ones re-
sponsibility or to make hopeful or opti-
mistic assumptions. If you have any
means or property at all, you may suf-
fer unnecessary .losses. One cannot
act responsibility without knowing in full
her responsibilities.
