HOW 10 DRESS WELL
Low-Prieed Goods IS Fsshioaabis - Costly
Fabrics.


row.Prtced Goods as Fsshionabis - Costly
Fabrics.
Women may now wear anything, from
pongee and calico, cheesc-cloth and batistos,
to velvet and silk broche with gold and sill
YER and embroidered with mock and real
Jewels. Everything is fashionable. Costly
and Inexpensive goods are equally in de-
mand. But this is essentially the poor
woman's perion. Some Of the prettiest
manufactured articles, furniture and con-
veniences. are the lowest in price. This is
especially true of watering-place costumes,
tbough excessive richness is plenty, too,
White wool dresses are the favorite Of the
season for the seaside, and are seen in most
varied qualities, from the simplest flannels
nm to the expensive English cloth, Isle Of
Wight serge, bison-cloth, canvas Of many
kinds and the pretty armure and Grape
yeilings that are newer THIN the smooth
nuns yelling.
Summer weddings, whether in the town
or country. are to be celebrated at noon,
the bride appearing at the church promptly
NJ the hour of II. and the ceremony being
followed by an English breakfast, given
only TO the relatives, the bridal party, and
n few very dear friends. English fashion

duty for it, and the bridesmaid appearing

All who are fastidious in dress on the
other side, whether English, French or any
otner nationality, are measured Tor their
corsets inst the same rs for dresses, and
have them made to order. White hannels
and serge of light quality are used for ten
mis- diseases. English tailors make sailors

dresses, using wide sash ribbon on which
are brocaded racquets and balls, and the
collar and cuffs are also cut from this NIB

Where the entire costume is made OF
striped material, a fashion that Is very
popular, the stripes are disposed OF in the
draperies in such away that u part are per
pendicular and part arc crosswise, break

pretty, graceful effect. Stout people should
avoid stripes and confine themselves to the
many figured and plain materials that can
now be obtained in such variety and beauty.
Only women of moderately good form can
wear stripes with good effect. Bayadere
striped skirts are popular for tall ladies,
while short persons who wear them will

under the care Of the best fathers, and who,
until the great blow which had left me an
orphan had descended upon me some SIX
months before, had known little or nothing
of the world beyond the walls Of my happy

which my friends entertained of me and
all the theories which / had formed for my

The Bryant & Stratton Indianapolis Business
University, conducted by Messrs. Trook, Heeb

brought schools of this class into disrepute. but
it is pleasure to note that the above institution,
under it's present efficient management, has
reached high position of usefulness It has
become thorough and practical in every depart
ment The University is open the entire year.
and every facility is given to the rural as we'll
as city pupils of both sexes to obtain business

A FREEzE-OUT FOR KUHN.
His Resignation Does Not Prevent His Los
ing the School Coal Contract.

The School Commissioners met in special SEES
sion, last night, to reconsider the question of
letting the contract for coal supplies. About q
dozen firms were represented IA the bids. The
bid of Kuhn s. Co. was the same as the one upon
which they were awarded the contract. Mr.
Greenstreet made motion. which did not carry,
that the bids be turned over to the
committee on supplies, to be reported at the next
meeting giving as his only reason, time for CON
sideration of Mr.. Kuhn's resignation, both by
himself and the board. He stated that the
board still considered Mr.. Kuhn one of its mem
bers, while individually Mr.. Kuhn did NOT hold
himself as such, and the bid of the firm Of which
he is member could not be considered until the
matter was settled
Mr. Frenzel saw no reason in this for delay
in awarding the contract, as Mr.. Kuhn had been
positive in his resignation. If he did not wish
to act longer with ths board, the acceptance
of his resignation could not make him member.
There was considerable discussion on the
question of the kind of coal that should be used.
by which it was revealed that the members of
the board did not have an overstock OF conf
dence In the good faith of firms in supplying
that article. In fact, it was intimated by one
OF the members that it was considered q
very profitable business by the various
firms to furnish such supplies to
the School Board. Island City coal
was unanimously rejected by the board. Mr..
Bamoerger stated that he had personally in
vestigated the quality of this coal while Mr..
Kuhn was engaged in making she delivery, and
finding 1t not up TO the standard, had ordered the
supply agent to stop its delivery. This was just
before the contract with A. NJ. Kuhn e. Co. had
been declared void.
Mr. Hendrickson, the supply agent. being
called upon for his opinion. said that he had
been promised that the Island City coal should
be better than any he had examined, and should
come from deeper veins That which had been
delivered had crumbled into such small pieces as
to almost render it unfit for use. Mr.. Greenstree.
did not think it would prove satisfactory for use
in the schools, and that. if few good loads Of
1t were furnished, the most of it would be of q
poor quality. He also complained OF the treat
ment which the board received from the firm
which furnished coal last year, stating that.
when objections were made. few loads of good
coal would be delivered. followed by a much
greater number of loads of worse quality.
1t was decided by the board to purchase the
best Brazil block coal, and the contract was
awarded to Branham g. Co., at 81. 80 per ton,
with the provision that the firm furnish all the
coal needed at that price. The matter of COM
pieting the contract and preparing the bond was
left TO the committee on supplies
The contract for the printing of the school
manuals was awarded to W. B. Burford & Co.,
at $3.50 IS for the twelve hundred copies needed.
