Some Summer belongings.

For house Wear, either mt breakfast OF
luncheon, there are shown semifitted
jackets Of white dotted muslin lined with
tho lightest long cloth, writes Isabel
A. Mallon III The Ladies' Home Jour
nal These reach we'll over tho hips, arc
fitted closely in tho back, are scmiloose
in front and have full sleeves drawn in
to fit loosely about tho wrists. They
nro at once cool i'll appearance and in
reality, and with skirt Of almost any
kind make dainty house costume. A
typical jacket of this sort is of white
dotted muslin fitted as described hav-
ing the skirt outlined with frill of
embroidery with swiss for it's back
ground so that it matches the jacket
material This is sewed on to the skirt
edge, and above it is wide beading
through which is run palo pink ribbon.
A similar beading is down each side of
tho fronts, the buttoning being CON
ccaled. y high collar of a wider bead
ing has the pink ribbon brought through
1t and tied in a bow in the front. A belt
Of still wider beading is firmly fastened
at tho back, has ribbon of the Same
width drawn through it and is Topped
i'll sash fashion just i'll front. When it
is necessary to do this up, the ribbon
can very easily be drawn out, and it
can be replaced, or if change is fancied
blue or pulc green or light yellow may
be its substitute.

less than ten minutes, the rider going

three times i'll rice water, from which.
however, Tie rico has been strained, and
use the last rinsing water we'll diluted,
so that tho material may not become too
stiff Iron while slightly damp. Silk
stockings should be washed and rinsed
i'll lukewartn water aud wrupg between

Corrected Report Of the Wreck-Literary

LONG BEACH, May 1s.-There were a
few inaccuracies in the account of the
wrecking of the fishing boat during Fri
day evening which, while not material, it
will be just as well to set right. 1t was
the fishing boat Sylvia. instead of the
Fiddia, and Gibson McGarvin, son of
Captain John McGarvin, and not the cap
tain himself, who was present at the time
the boat was capsized. The captain of
the Sylvia, Jack C-.lin, admitted ,he
writer that the accident was entirely due
to carelessness, he knowing at the time
that he had his boat too near the break .I S
for perfect safety. The name of the yo2ng
man who was drowned 1t was learned to
be William Hitten, whose home is in
England. and whose parents and connec-
tions are well-to-do and respectable peo-
pie. His body has not been recovered up
to this time, and likely will not be for
some days, as the sea does not give up its
dead for at least the period embraced be-
tween a week and nine days.

ACTION FINALLY TO BE TAKEN

The city council. so long dormant as
body upon the subject, bids fair finally to
become fully aroused to the Importance
OF action in the matter Of I proper
accommodations for female prisoners at
the city Jail. The subject has been agi-
tated in perfunctory sort of way for
years, but concerted action has never
in the past been taken. The proposed
new city Jail appeared for time to be a
solution OF the disgraceful problem, but
now that the recently voted bonds for the
purpose may delay the building OF the
new Jail, the end appears to be as far off
as ever. Tac only hope in sight is
temporary building of some description
to be used as a female Jail for the time
being, as has been recommended by the
police commissioners to the council.
Action Of some sort in the premises is ex
pected by the council at the regular
weakly meeting of that body to be held

Electric Road Collision Still

SHAKESPEARE CLUB MEETING
Interesting Church Services for

Runaway Accident-One Of the Victims Of
the Railroad Accident Feeling Worse.
Hotel Green Arrivals-Notes

PASADENA, May 1s.-The'collision on
the electric road is still one OF the princi-
pal topics OF conversation. although there
is little to add to the report already given
in The Herald.
The responsibility for the disastrous
accident does not appear to be fixed by the
company, but it is very evident that there
was great carelessness somewhere. -Ihere
are several names that might be added
to the list of the injured published in
The Herald, the one most seriously hurt
being Mrs. Charles Salter OF Los Ange-
les, who is daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles johnson of this city. She was
oadly cat in the face by the glass from
the windows.
The am putation has not yet been per-
formed upon the limb of Frank Perillat,
owing to disagreement among the sur
ceons as to its advisability. After max
ing all preparations for the operation it
was finally decided to wait few days
and see whether the limb cannot be saved.
This accident will no doubt stimulate
the company to push the laying OF an ad
ditional track as fast as it can be dom e
and only when there is double track
throughout the line will people feel per-
fectly safe on the road. Or. at least the
more timid of the population will be apt
to give it a wide berth. and it is plainly
to the advantage of the company as we'll
as the patrons Of the line to have the
double track throughout. This the com
pany will provide at once and no DOUBT
the already large business will be greatly
increased thereby.

he result that they brought verdict for
the affirmative.
