St. Louis.—How they lived together
as man and wife and how the “hus
band” for two year? had concealed the
fact from neighbors and friends that
he” was a woman, was disclosed fol
lowing the arrest here of “Mr. and
Mrs. Benjamin Bert Schmidt.”
Smoking a cigarette when arrested
and denouncing “his” arresf as
“damned ridiculous,” the “husband”
kept up “his” bravado for some time,
after “he” had told a story which
Chief of Detectives Hannegan de
clared “one of the most remarkable
Jn his experience.”
The “husband” Is really Mrs. Mary
Bertha Schmidt, twenty-five, who came
Kept Up “His" Bravado for Some Time.
to this country 12 years ago from Hun
gary. The “wife” is Miss Mary Assede,
a cousin of the “husband."
“I always hated men, as'did Mary
also, so we both decided to get mar
ried. The ceremony was performed
by a Justice of the peace and we
bought a nice little home in South
St. Louis. We were living together
very happily until the police inter
fered.”

Flnday, O.—Single young ladies who
meet married young men in Findlay
get no sympathy before the court of
Mayor Shoupe. A single young woman
became familiar with a certain mar
ried young man and the testimony de
veloped that the wife of the young
man had discovered the single maiden
and her husband at a trysting place.
The mayor fined the single young lady
922.85 and hung on a suspended 30-day
centence in the Toledo workhouse.

SOME MODES OF THE MOMENT,
\
Most Decided Changes in Newest Cre-i
ations Are Presented in Collar ;
Arrangements.
One of the modes of the moment is I
the curious assembling of different
fabrics for the fashioning of one gar
ment. Thus a black satin afternoon
frock has been richly trimmed with
soft white Angora cloth, and this In
turn has been thickly beaded with jet.
The frock shows a criss-cross of the
beaded white Angora forming a trim
ming for the narrow skirt, a curious
belt arrangement, not straight around
the waist, but higher at one side and
slanting diagonally across the front of
the skirt. The sleeves are long and
tight, ornamented at the waist with
the white fuzzy stuff and the beads,
and the neck Is high and finished with
one of the new very high collars made
of the white material, one end being
left long like a scarf, thrown over one
shoulder and finished with a long jet
tassel.
The most decided changes In any of
the newest creations are presented in
the collar arrangements. Very high
collars with thrown ends appear on
many frocks. Often they are knotted
on the neck of the dress, a heavy silk
thread of a bright and beautiful color
being used.
This sort of collar appears on a blue
coat dress. The collar is of Belgian
blue, knitted round and round, so that
a sort of small yoke is formed at the
top of the waist, narrowing into a high
collar which ends in a throw at one
side. Touches of the blue threads have
been knitted at intervals across the
front of the bodice to brighten it, and
a long sash is knitted at one side of
fh*» skirt.
SIMPLICITY IN SPRING WEAR
Lack of Display Promises to Be Espe
cially Noticeable in Latest
Models of Apparel.
i Fashion designers seem at last to
have been converted to a realization
of the power and beauty of simplicity.
As everyone knows, says a fashion
writer, simple language is most con
vincing, and the house built on lines
of simple dignity at once advertises
Its occupants as people of culture and
refinement. Why then should the in
dividual woman elect to wear clothes
that are over ornate either in style
line or decorative features? Apparel
Is properly meant to emphasize the
good points of the individual it cov
ers, rather than that the individuality
of woman be submerged and her form
serve merely as a foundation for the
display of rich garments.
In the development of early spring
styles the leaning to simple garments1
is especially noticeable. Of course,
the very first of the spring garments'
are bought by those fortunate ones
who flee to Southern resorts to es
cape the rigors of the Northern or
Western winter. In suits and coats,
sport suggestions usually lead.
