Baby's Wardrobe Cretonne Covered Wardrobe for Baby, Which Can Be Made Inexpensively at Home. Of course, the baby will put on airs If he has a cabinet all his own for his wee garments, but no one would blame him, for even a grown-up would be a trifle set up over so dainty a flow er-strewn wardrobe. The necessity for a special place to keep the tiny things goes without say ing. A cabinet like the one in the sketch would prove a great comfort and convenience. A very similar one may foe purchased all ready made, with [panels of apple blossoms and gay birds, and a lining of pink moire silk. The woodwork is of a beautiful satiny ■white finish, and S3B is the rather ex travagant sum asked for it. Of course, this Is beyond the aver age woman’s income, but that does not mean that her wee one must go wardrobeless, for we are going to tell her just how to make a cabinet at home for a mere song. At some small dry goods shop buy two square packing cases, exactly of a size, and have the covers that go with them. These cases are 25 or 35 cents apiece. Set the cases one on top of the oth er, as they are shown In the sketch. Two flat boards may be put in the low er box for shelves. The covers of the boxes are to be used for the doors. Here the man of the family may be called upon to saw the covers in half, and saw off a bit from the sides and ends so that the piece will fit inside the frame of the box, Just as a real door in a room fits in the frame. Next paint the boxes. Fill up the nail holes with a plug of clay. Put a coat of woodflller on the cabinet and EMPIRE GIRDLES OF SEQUINS Are Much Favored for Both Light and Dark Colored Satin Gown* This Season. The novelty that was brought out In 'the winter on exclusive gowns has be come a little more universal this isprlng. This Is the use of four-inch empire girdles made of sequins. They are used on light and dark colored satin gowns. Their appear |aiice ou the extravagantly high-priced (French frocks proves that the slightly Ihlgh waist will remain In favor this isprlng.

The daintiest chip baskets may be had for the child’s sowing outfit. They are but six Inches long and four Inches wide. They are provided with a han dle, and wo supply them with gay silk lllnlngs after treating them to a coat |of white enamel paint. A little scissors Is fastened on with a long ribbon, and If we are really generously Inclined, we add a gay silk pln-cushlon and a thimble. i To Starch Black Goods. I When starching black waßh dresses and petticoats add bluing enough to ■uakc the starch a deep blue, and you twill be surprised how nice they will launder without the usual dull gray doors, both sides, inside and out, to lay the splinters. When that is dry, go over the whole thing with a couple of coats of a good white enamel paint. Panels of some pretty pink flowered cretonne may be tacked on the outside of the four doors and sides of the cab inet, and on the back if desired —it’s a relief once in a while to have the backs of things presentable. The panels are held on with little brass-headed upholstery tacks. Very pretty cretonnes may be had for 18, 25 and 30 cents a yard, and even the 12 1 variety is not to be sneezed at. The insides of doors and cabinet have panels put on in the same way, of a delicate plain pink sateen. The doors are put on with small brass hinges, and fasten with an old fashioned wooden button or tiny brass bolt. A sash curtain rod is screwed across the top of the cabinet on which to hang the little coat and frocks. The tiniest coat hangers imaginable, just right size for the wee garments, come for ten cents apiece. These may be covered with bits of pretty silk or rib bon. The stand for the bonnet may be covered with a dainty bit of light springleaf green silk. The pretty, lacy basket may be kept on the upper shelf, and large boxes on the other shelves in which to keep the baby’s clothing. These boxes may be of fancy paste board, or a woman who is clever with her brushes might buy plain white boxes of an unglazed surface and dec orate them with sprays of flowers. A loop of ribbon is fastened to the cover so that the boxes will pull out easily. IDEA FOR BLOUSE OF TULLE. Blouse* of tulle with largo dot®, shirred to form little frills.

DETERMINED LOVERWINS GIRL To Prevent Her Marriage Latter is Placed in Custody of Mother Superior Young Man Outwits Relatives. Chicago.—Defying the seclusion of convent walls, the constant guard of the watchful nuns and of influential relatives, George V. Mueller of Chica go has succeeded In making Miss Em ily Lee, sister-in-law of Mayor Busse, his bride. Utilizing the veil of darkness, a rope ladder, a private code of lovers’ sig nals, and other necessities to a well regulated elopement, but substituting for the blooded charger of the days of old. a modern automobile, the obscure but gallant telephone company’s em ploye spirited his ladyae fair to the hospitable town of Gary, Ind., where their lives were joined forever ami aye, while the lordly relatives raged withal and true to the novelist wired their forgiveness. Mueller is employed by the Chicago Telephone Company and lives in a flat on Sheffield avenue. Across the hall from his apartments abided Miss Emily Lee. Mueller did not know his 18-year-old neighbor and for months and months the soulmates existed without knowledge that Cupid was sitting in the hallway, shooting ar rows both ways. A few months ago, Mueller on re turning from his daily labors saw the future Mrs. M. gracefully gliding on roller skates in front of the apartment house. Just as he reached the door step the young woman, perhaps grace fully, but entirely painfully, sat on the sidewalk. Mueller assisted the young lady to arise and carefully helped her to the comfort of his one best chair in the flat. When Miss Lee had quite recovered she explained that she lived just across the hall and would be pleased She Descended Into the Arms of Her Lover. at any time to renew her acquaint ance with her rescuer. Mueller became a constant and ag gressive suitor. The maid smiled and favored his suit. All was roseate with him. He had practically decided on the minister and the place where the ring was to be secured as soon as he could save the money, when a cloud came over the happy courtship. The cloud was the mayor of Chicago, who Is the brother-in-law of his be loved. Fred A. Busse would not hear of his relative's marrying a telephone clerk. Greater things wore In store for her. The mayor consulted with the relatives. His power was greater that the boy’s and the youth was for bidden to call on his lady. Hut de spite these obstacles the pair met, and as a result the wilful maid was sent to the seclusion of the convent at Rock Island. There Instructions were given that she was to receive no letters, which had not been properly censored by the Mother Superior and no visitor who did not have the official stamp of approval of Mayor Fred A. Busse. For weeks the maiden pined for her lover nnd went through the dull routine of convent life. A few days ago Mueller who had planned well, took a day off and vlßlted Rock ißland. From a point of vantage above the convent wall he beheld his beloved nnd wig-wagged her his plan. She retired to her room In excitement and blushes. At midnight, when the convent was as still as a tomb, three pebbles were thrown against the window of Miss Leo. With her suit ense In her trem bling hands, she raised the window. A rope ladder was thrown her and on this she descended to her sweetheart. On the roadside stood a big automo bile doing Its best In a clumsy way to muffle Its chug chug. In It the couple leaped and the chauffeur went accord ing to Instructions full speed for Gary. The mayor has not failed to pay his respects to the bride and bridegroom and It is sold that Mueller will not serve the telephone company many months longer. A position In the city hall Is said to be awaiting him. BOY BURGLARS LED BY PRETTY YOUNG WOMEN MRS. WAIT SAID TO HAVE CON. FESSED SHE AND SISTER MAS QUERADED IN MEN’S GARB. Memphis, Tenn.—A gang of boy burglars, led, it is alleged, by two young and pretty women, has been broken up and the ringleaders are in custody. Before the final capture was made, when Mrs. J. E. Wait, a blonde of 24, was arrested, the gang had burglarized the E. A. Gillespie drug store in South Memphis and one of the girls had robbed pedestrians at the point of a pistol. A little house occupied by the girls was the meeting place of many of the boys of the neighborhood, all in their teens, in the absence of the husband of Mrs. Wait. They were entertained by Mrs. Wait and her equally attrac- The Female Robbers and Their Gang Robbed Many Stores. tive sister, Lenora Prior, 18. Mrs. Wait assumed the name of “Silver Heels,” and her sister, “Red Wing.” The “brains” of the gang, accord ing to her own confession, is Mrs. Wait. She says it is her temperament. She has had trouble with her husband, his divorce suit being stopped recently in Missouri, when the judge heard Mrs. Wait and her sister were dying in a Memphis hospital as the result of a suicide agreement. She gets “blue” and has thought of suicide often, she says. The first intimation of the burglar band came a few weeks ago when Charles Lawhorn, George Dayton, Clarence Brown and Wilburn Brown were arrested, charged with the rob bery of the Gillespie drug store. They confessed and implicated the girls. When arrested, Mrs. Wait vainglori ously admitted, according to the po lice, that she and her sister, masquer ading in men’s attire, led the gang, and hinted at yet greater exploits planned. Mrs. Wait has two children at Rollo, Mo. Her husband, an employe of an elevator company, hustled around and got bail for her. BOY SHOWS RARE FORTITUDE. Twelve-Year-Old Lad Jokes While His Fingers Are Being Amputated. Green Lake, Wash. —A boy who has in him the making of a heroic man is 12-year-old Fred Cleveland, who said: “It’s going to hurt all right, but I can stand it;” and then set his lips tight while his wounds were being dressed and an operation performed on his hand. The amputation of several fingers was necessary because of their lacerated condition, the result of an explosion in his hands of a dyi|imite cap. A number of small boys were play ing on the Fast Green Lake boulevard when Roy Glover produced a dyna mite cap and suggested that they rid the place of unnecessary stumps. The cap was set in place and lighted, but was slow in exploding. The little Cleveland boy was anxious to know why it did not go off, so he picked it up and was examining it when it ex ploded. lacerating his hands and face to such an extent that it was neces sary to amputate the first joints of several fingers. The boy ran to Rev. H. G. Hdgar, who had Just passed, and said: “Look at me, Mr. Edgar.” The boy was carried to his home and a physician summoned. “The boy was a little stoic during the operation,” said Mr. Edgar. “He joked to keep down the pain.” Rat Routs Fair Shoppers.
