STYLES FOR THE SUMMER GIRL.

It is interesting to know just how the summer girl is to be rigged, this season, and if MT Starr of the enterprising firm of Treat & Starr of this place is not mis- taken it will be something as follows: If she be right in style, on the crown of her head will be perched a jaunty sailor hat. Then she wears laundered shirt waist with neck scarf for she must initiate the men, just little bit, you know. Then there are the suits which come already made up and the cloth will be either storm serge, duck, twilled linen, percale or covert cloth. She must of course have an empire belt around her waist and on her hand will be Milanese silk gloves. But we mustn't forget even the smaller details, so her feet will be shod with the russet leather shoe. Treat & Starr have the goods to rig out the summer girl in excellent taste and style, all but the shoes, and of course J. ". Ellsworth, the shoe man, does this.

to the crepe effect. They come in some

and also in all the dark shades. One
lovely piece was to be seen in Twenty

There seems to be q determined effort
on the part of the importers to popular

through the summer both for whole
costumes and also for shirt waists, and
in many of the leading shops they are

They require remarkably good figure,

A BIT OF POKER LUCK,

How Senator Wolcott Once Got Out OF

Washington Star: II suppose Senator
Wolcott is one of the coolest men living
when engaged in game OF chance, (" said
Albert Watson Of Denver, who was ono
of party of gentlemen at the Cochran

frontier, he learned the value of q poker
hand and the best way to keep cases %
soon ~ he learned law, and he was

RADIO before his fame 90 Q lawyer had
spread outside OF Denver. When play
ing faro he always did, and does vet, bet
80 much on the turn OF card a. the
dealer will allow him to, and when he
sits in poker game the other people
want to keep their eyes wide open and
play their cards mighty close up to their
chests.
Wolcott once found himself in q game
OF poker whore three of the other play
ers were playing q sure game. They
were professionals and were after big
bundle of money that he had in his
possession, as we'll as looking for that
which the fiftheplayer, q mining operas
tor named Durkin. was known to have.
Walcott know in 20 minutes after the
first hand was dealt that the intention
was to rob hins and wearied his wits try
ing to find way to get out OF the game
without making trouble, but he couldn't
discover . means to save him.
At last he was dealt pat flush of dia-
monds, made up of the 5. z, 8, 8 and
lacx. lie skinned those cards over and
did a mighty piece of thinking. He
felt in his bones that flush would be
no account in the world whom it came
to show down, and he Clipped in and
stage to draw cards. To his surprise
he wasn't raised before the draw. He
looked over his bright red diamonds
again and concluded to draw q card, in
order, If possible, to straighten the Sc.
quence. He pondered long time be.
tween discardiDg the five spot or the
picture. and at last tossed away the jack
and called for card.
The dealer looked surprised at his
wanting any, but gave him the card.
Wolcott picked it up and found he had
gotten the six SPOT of diamonds. He
never turned hair. The betting be-
gan, aud he nursed his sequence of
diamonds end just stayed along, letting
the other fellows do the raising. At
last it got down to Wolcott and one of
the professionals. Finally there was Q
call, and the other man showed four
queens, Wolcott laid down the 5, 6, z, 8
and 8 of diamonds and swept in the
pot. The game stopped right there. l
reckon that was the greatest piece o.
luck that any man ever had In poker
