Now, when so many dry-gOods houses
are making clearing sales" of cotton goods
and remnants. any young woman possess
ing a particle OF ingenuity and thrift can
easily supply herself with plenty of fresh
dainty costumes for the warm weather OF
August and September at triliug cost.
There are all manner ~ pretty cotton ma
terials TO be had from cents ward up 10
125% cents. which make effective gowns
more suitable for the season than anything
else. Amateur dressmakeTs often make the
mistake of having the back of the founda-
ton skirt too wide. To be stylish the
foundation skirt must be narrow. Ii the
foundation skirt is as wide as the outside
one the effect is very awkward. Two and
a quarter yards is the greatest width sdvis-
able for a short walking skirt The draw
ing strings must not be put in too low down
or the back fullness will be tossed from side
TO side when the wearer walks. A skirt
drawn back low and tight has a decidedly
wriggly look. This season the skirts which
are draped high up fall plain ana straight
i'm front and at the sides and are tied back
in place at the hips. With this kind Of
skirt long steps are impossible. They are
not satisfactory for country and mountain
wear.
4 pretty way to make cotton dresses Is
with straight rather full skirt, with plain
hem and five-inch wide tucks. The waist
can either be round and plain or a basque
with vest front of white and trimming
of some of the light, cheap lace so sbun-

SUMMER TOWN.

Within the breathless precincts Of the town,
Beneath this brassy glitter of the sun,
Where heated pavements tremble in its
frown,
catch the far-of sound of rin and run.
Above the restless roar Of toll and trade
Sweet sylvan voices whisper to mine ear,
And am lost in tangles OF deep shade,
And ''purr" of leaves and murmuripg g
brooks seem near.
see the waves in laughter running in,
And hear the surf moan on the outer bar;
The larks a-field their noontime songs begin,
And yet 1 know they are so far, so far.
What is there In the air, this July day,
That keeps me dreaming in these pastures
green,
And scents the room with odors of new hay,
And wakes the locusts' song, "I ween,
weeny'
The doing COWS stand knee-deep in the
brook.
The 1iickering shadows play upou the grass,
And as / try TO read, beyond the book,
Oerhead l see white cloud-deets sailing
past.
Is there within the soul some subtle string,
Untouched by aught, save on such days as
these,
When faint-remembered odors make IL ring
with songs of dingles dark and hlied leas?

Willie Reynolds, a Sidney boy of
fourteen years, is musical genius.
He has invented an instrument consisting Of
two uprights placed in a base OF wood. To
these are attached two bells by strap.
These he operates with one foot. while Oh
the opposite knee he thrums banjo. For a
mouth piece he has harmonica. All these
he plays at one time and, as related to sand
can perfectly render almost any known mel
ody, including dancing selections of great
variety. Young Reynolds never received
any instruction in music.
