three and a revival of the earned r
are among tha changes being cons

betterment of the game before ano

NEBRASKA UNDER WRAPS ?
A Lincoln Story Says Cornhu-k <
"Laid Low" In Doane Game.

Until a few days ago tlie Ames Aggl

n ' hands of Mornlngsido college , gen
it ally rated as a secondary Institution
8 football circles in the valley scctle
tends to drop the Iowa farmers don \
n and out. Ames and Nebraska n
, v scheduled to clash on November
a ! but the dope sheet scarcely indlcat
11 even a possible triumph for Ami
r Missouri , Iowa and Drake alrea
I have been humbled by valley oppc
y cuts , which , coupled with Ames' i
verso in the clash with Morningsle
leaves Kansas and Nebraska to fig
It out for first honors in the vail
conference.
hivairy has ever been keen betwei
Cornhuskor and Jaylmwkor and
the annual exchange of football gam
beginning nearly a score of years BE
when the gridiron sport was first I
i troducod in the Missouri valley , t
' record of victories and defeats nc
stands at a tin. Nebraska held the advantage -
vantage prior to 1908 , hut during the
last two years Kansas has been tri
umphant , enabling the Jnyhnwkcrs to
pull up on oven terms.
The confidence of Nebraska adher
ents was rudely Jarred by the Doane
game , in which the Cornhuskers were
victors by the narrow margin of six
points , although Cole and his players
are not disposed to join In on the chor
us of alarm. The Cornbuakers went
Into the Doane game under wraps ,
with Instructions to play safe and to
win , dovotlng no attention to the ill-
mcnslons of the score. Three of Colo'e
most dependable regulars , Collins ,
Owen Frank and Warner , were kept
on the side lines , subs being sent In
so that they might gain needed oxperl
enco in the event that necessity mlghl
demand their tiso against the Jay
hawkers. In view of the week's lay
off and the shakcup In the personne
of the Nebraska team , it is not sur
prising that the Cornhuskors playei
ragged football against Doano. Theli
poorest exhibition of the season , UK
almost Inevitable result should bo t <
Instill a spirit of determination on th <
part of the Cornhuskers to mend thel
. faults and to give the Joyhawken
the very best they have In stock.

tlon made by an Italian employer e
those laborers , who was In Norfol

a largo number of Norfolk citizen
A water carrier bad interrupted tl :
"rush" Job by giving the men the
usual drink of water.
"What are you trying to do , boy'
exclaimed Mr. Kline who appeared i
that moment. "Don't get them coole
off now. They just got started an

JEWEL THIEF IN SOCIETY ?
A Scandal Imminent In Philadelphia' '
Exclusive Set.
Philadelphia , Nov. 5. Through a
advertisement by Mrs. IloDort Kols
Cassatt offering a reward of $300 fc
the return of some jewels whlc
"have Mysteriously disappeared , " !
became known today that n scnndi
Is very liable to shako Philadolphl
society to its foundations.
While Mrs. Cassatt refused to dii
cuss her loss , It was learned thr
about n month ago , while returning I
a motor car from Atlantic City , Jov
els to the value of several thousan
dollars disappeared.from the car.
Had It not boon for Mr. Cassatt
wh'o Is n son of the late president ol
the Pennsylvania railroad , the loss 01
theft would never have become pub
lie. At the time the Jewels disappear
ed tinoo widely known members o
Philadelphia society were accompany
Ing Mrs. Cnscntt from the shore. Mrs
( 'assail would rather have pockctci
her loss than have any Invcstlgatloi
rolled upon them. Mr. Cassatt him
self , thought otherwise , and employ
ed detectives for n month for tin
pui pose of recovering the jewels.
The slolen Jewels consist of a lei
gnetto chain forty-eight Inches loiif
with diamonds set one inch npar
aUmg tlie length of the chain , and ;
i diamond heart pendant containing II
ty-four diamonds. The Jewels are va
nod at about $12,000.
A SEASON WITHOUT CORSETS.
The Natural Model is to Be Fashloi
able This Season.
Now York , Nov. 5. Women gene
ally , and stout women particular ! ;
are just now interested In the runic
as to the abolition of the corset. R <
port has It that the corsetlcss flgui
Is to be the fashionable one this sei
son , and If Ibis is true then there I
certainly cause for alarm , for few fl ]
ures tire so perfect they can afford t
dispense with the corset.
I A corsetlere says that the apparon
ly corsclless figure will undoubted !
be "the" model for the coming white
but that the corset will In reality co :
tlnuo to bo worn , the desired effei
being produced by the lines of tl
corset. Instead of the curves and bii
gores one sees in the average corse
there arc only straight up and do\\
lines from the bust to the lower edf
In the now style ptays.
It Is quite easy to state the lengl
of the corset above the waist line , b
cause all are cut quite low , but >
speak dcflnitelv as to the length belo
the waist Is quite anolhcr matte
This is determined by the wearer , a
cording as she prefers style or cot
fort.
| The very nowesl model In the ne
corset is a marvel. In the first plac
the material Is a tricot , resembling
rather closely woven knit goods , c' '
so as to have few scams as posslbl
probably not more than six in a
These are covered with n casing f (
the bones , which , by the way , a :
quite flexible and end at a point , whii
enables the wearer to assume a s
ting position without discomfort.
The corset extends from six to elgl
een Inches below the bones , the long :
depending upon the tasle of the wen
er. At the bust there is plenty
room allowed , and the same may 1
said of the waist line , for there is ve :
litlle difference between the two mea
urements. Around the hips Ihe cors
spreads just a little. As a matter
fact , the corset measured only foi
inches more around the hips , s
Inches below the waist line , than
did ut the waist line , so that real
when the new corset is filled lo tl
figure and the dress put on over
the wearer doen appear to have ill
carded her corset , because the ligu
appears to be perfectly natural ,
j Young women of good rigure are ,
i is said , raving over the new model
1 and certainly fcome of them are e
tremely beautiful In these corsets , b
(
there is the average girl and the slo
figure to bo catered to as well , f
though everything nowadays nppea
to be designed especially for tall ai
slender women. The average flgu
is to bo molded into Ihe straight i
and down lines , which are to be mo
ifled just a little , while a greater co
cession is allowed to the stoul flgur
The stout woman will have her cors
cut on straight lines back and fror ,
but will be given a litlle curve undi
the arms.

HINTS ON HOUSE FLOWERS.
A Manhattan Student Tells How t <
Grow Winter Plants.
Everyone likes flowers In the winter
tor , but a great many persons will no
attempt to keep them. They complaii
of their poor luck and say plants an
too hard to care for.
Keep plant * noli Vteretl. Man ;
persons will pour a llltlo water on i
plant , enough to soak In an inch o
two , and wonder that the plants di
not grow. The trouble is that tin
growing part of the plant receives IK
nourishment. Plants should bo wn
tered every day and In such a wn ;
that the roots get plenty of moisture
The soil should be rich. Cnro shouh
be taken In placing flowers near i
window. Remember tlie upper sasl
Is warmer than the lower.
Asparagus ferns and sword fern
arc very good winter plants. The ;
must bo kept moist and bo close ! ,
watched for tlie red spider.
Primroses require much care. The ;
should be changed from one pot to ar
other until In a pot live or six Inche
In diameter. The atmosphere shoul
be cool , about 55 degrees. They shoul

DRESS UP TO YOUR FEATURE
That is the Secret of the Art of Beln
Well Gowned.
New York , Nov. 5. "Find out wh.n
your most characteristic feature I
and then dress up to it. If you do till
you will be artistically gowned , a <
cording to the latest logic advance
by the fine arts department of th
Teachers' college , which began its il
fit ruction last night in artistic costuir
ing under the direction of a womn
who formerly designed for a Fifth a.\
onue dressmaker.
Of course , It must be an attractiv
feature if it is to be dressed up te
Art in costuming does not cmuhaslz
any the good points of the femlnin
face and figure. The others have t
bo dressed down. For instance , a to
prominent nohe , eyes that squint or ;
mouth of too ample proportions to la ;
claim to beauty may spoil an otliei
wise attractive face. Such feature
may bo subdued and the other fe.i
tures given prominence if you kno\
the secrets of the new art In dress.
"Accentuate your best features , " ad
vises Miss G. L. Hitchings , the in
structor , when talking to her class
"If you have attractive eyes make th
most of thorn by your style of dress
If your bnlr Is your solo claim t <
beauty , dress in such a fashion tha
everybody notices your hair. Tha
does not mean It should bo conspici :
ous. Far from It. But the tone of th
dress should be such as to mnko th
hair seem to beautify the entire face
If the pink of your cheeks Is allnrlni
In Its delicacy choose some comple
mentnry shade for your dross whicl
will deepen and emphasize the pink.
"It Is worth every woman's while ti
study these points , whether she is dc
ing it to help her In the dressmaklni
world or for her own personal Im
provement. Now , take this drawing,1
she said , holding up a delicate paste
figure in pale greenish brown , wit !
yellow dots.
"This young woman lias yellowls !
brown hair , you will observe , and ho
cheeks look pale when only tlie faci
Is seen , but you notice a bright splasl
of pinkish trimming on the lower par
of the bodice front. Now this is thi
artistic touch which heightens tin
color of the cheeks and gives them ai
unusual beauty. You will also notlci
that the greenish tint of the gown litho
the complementary color of ho
chocks , another artistic means o
heightening her good point. "
"Wo must have individuality li
dress , " declared Miss Hitchings
"There is far too much dressing nlllu
hero in Now York. And for Individ
unllty there is nothing hotter than UK
study of the silhouette.
"If women only realized how 1m
portant the silhouette Is In presently
a beautiful appearance they would be
much more particular about the llnei
of their skirts , the shape of their coati
and the style of their hats than thoj
are now. Study your silhouette , sid (
and front , at every nnglo , and you wil
soon find whore the lines can bo Im
proved. "
