RECENT arrests OF boys for various
crimes has had tendency to injure
the theory that youthful diabolism
is principally due to the deadly dime
novel, inasmuch as large number OF
the offenders could not read at all.
To be raised in an atmosphere of ig-
norance and depravity is quite as bad
for the minds Of children as misdi-
rected education Of the primary
kind. After all good deal of ignor-
rance is more dangerous thing than

At the back the yoke is rounded, and
the lace which edges It Is caught up on
each shoulder with bow. At the waist
line at the back there is bow with long
ends.
Corsages are now pretty generally
made with the hack In one piece, slight

the middle. And need hardly add that
they are often so 'belaced that at first
glance you see nothing of the dress ma

The rule Is: all the lace effects you
please, but don't mar the outlines or the
figures. Some makers now cut skirts
with two breadths OF material, one front
and one back, instead of running a bias
seam at the middle OF tho back. II
your material Is plain, the front breadth
Is cut on the straight and the back on
the full bias; IL striped or plaid, then
both breadths are cut on the straight
and gored at the sides. There is but
little time now left for thin gowns, and
the summer girl is making the most OF
1t. IL seems to me she grows more and

WORLDS FAIR DEDICATION.
Programme OF tho Exercises Approved b
the Board of Control

Approved
the Board of Control
A final decision has been reached as
to the days and dates OF the dedicatory
exercises OF the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position to be held In October. It was
originally announced by the Exposition
authorities to be held Oct. ~, Is, and
IA. Owing to pressure brought to bear
upon Congress by the representatives of
New York, the date for the dedication
was changed to Oct. 21. The cere-
monies committee at Chicago concluded
to fix upon the three days, Oct. 19-21,
which would allow visitors to the fair
Saturday, Oct. %, in which to get away
from the city. These dates were
changed the other day by the Board OF
Control to Oct. 20, 81, and ~, the change
being made In order to accommodate
President Harrison, who has notified
the committee that he could be In Chi
cago only two days, those days being
Oct. 81 and %. The dedication will take
place Friday, Oct. 81, and Saturday the
President will review the military pa
rade.
Secretary Culp of the ceremonies COM
mittee was called upon TO furnish the
revised and completed program for the
three days. The report was presented
and approved, with the exception Of the
change Of dates as mentioned.
On the first day Of the exercises, which
Is Thursday, the principal feature is to
be the civic parade. According to Mr..

In every department OF human

underlies every performance that is

The sunhower is found to be of
great service in Southern Russia,
where 1t has for some time been ex-

principally for the bright yellow,
odorless and tasteless oil yielded by
its seeds. That oil is said to be super
seding olive oils throughout Southern
Russia for domestic purposes The
pressed seeds and the boiled leaves,
the latter mixed with clay, serve as
cattle food, the stalks as fuel. Like

In the fourth picture you will find q

the arm is covered with open-work silk

Lace Is much used for tunics, set on
the edge OF square yoke, from which
1t falls straight down over the dress,
and is not belted In or set of with any
drapery or sash OF any kind. Such a

course, is dimly seen through its trans
parent folds. These tunics. which, by

The bottom of the skirt has three rows
OF satin ribbon of the same shade, sepa-

and also has a pleated lace collarette,

collar covered with ribbon, and orna-
mented with ribbon loops falling over
the lace. The deep cuffs are garnitured
like the skirt and corsage.
In spite Of the fact that the summer
girl has yet a brief space of time in

In white canvas shoes or thrust into
dark russets, yet II Is quite apparent
that she pauses now and then to give a
thought to that glorious season OF deep

call Fall. What will the Mistress of
the Modes proclaim As yet hear only

tints and tones, and browns, too, are to
be very modish in strong colors. Pur-

dress just described for you, velvet
seems to be the favorite material for
such sleeves, the folded belt and collar
being OF the same material. Such
sleeves are usually in pale colors, and
add a peculiar charm 10 an artistic
toilet. The velvet sleeve invariably
ends In a deep flaring lace cuff, or else
there is long cuff OF guipure or pleated
gauze. Still another style calls for a
long, tight sleeve of dress material. with
a pulled velvet sleeve ending at the ell
bow, where IL is held by band and bow
of ribbon. Strange as IL may seem,
these velvet sleeves are particularly eff
fective In combination with soft, gauzy,
filmy materials like Gibbons, crepons,
silk gauzes, silk muslins and the whole
long list OF summer stuffs. The wide
flaring cuffs OF guipure are strikingly
becoming to fine hand and arm. Some
Of these pulled sleeves are divided in
