it is. A gown that is unbearable may
be made comfort to look at by the
addition of a crisp double tuft Of fresh
lace ut the base of the collar and
fall Of frosty lace from it to the waist.
This device is employed in the third
gown presented to-day, which is made
fro blush gray cheviot, with vest
OF white null and lace, and with but
ton trimming and leather belt. We
won't discard big sleeves when they
are so comfortable. One woman Is re-
ported as experimenting with the lin
ing to her sleeves by having them all
perforated. She says she has little
breeZes blowing about her shoulders
all the time, no matter what her gown
is, but her enthusiasm may color her
report of the matter.
Much attention Is being spent on get
ting cool effects. There is the white
tulle ruff seen in the next illustration,
for instance. 1t Is made of the crispest
tulle, very full and frosty white, and
the tulle edges are finished with tiny
cleaning satin line, whick adds to the
frosty effect. Such 9 ruff is set on q
narrow ribbon and when adjusted it
comes away up about the ears. 1t
then makes woman look as If she
had stuck her head through snow
wreath, but while she looks so re.
frigerated it is very likely that rivers
of perspiration are trickling down her
back and throat. 1t Is the same way
with gloves; spotless white ones look
so cool and yet a kid glove Is uncom-
Portable in warm weather, no matter
what its color. On the gown, there are
. chings Of tulle at the wrists and
rosettes of the same at the bust line.
Its fabric is silver gray bengaline, cuffs
and points on bodice being white satin
appliqued with black braid. Bands Of
silver galloon edge the skirts front
breadth and the bodice points. The re-

in reality eighty or one hundred per-
sons In his household, besides his own
abundance of wives and greater abun-
dance Of children.
The marriage relation and the laws
governing 1t are little strange. Polyg-
amy Is not universal, but there Ia no
law against it. The law prescribes that
a man may have four first-class wives.
He marries these wives for all time.
They are usually of the same social
rank as himself. In addition to these
first class wives he can have as many
second-class wives as he wants, and 1t
makes no difference what rank In So
ciety they come from. The second-class
wife Is married for a certain length Of
time, set out In the contract. Her
dowry Is also stated In the contract,
and Is usually paid at marriage. The
law about the term Of the marriage Is
elastic. A man may marry woman
for minute, or a day, or week, or
year, or 100 years. The custom is,
however, to marry her for ninety years.
In addition to all the first and second
class wives, a man can have all the
concubines he chooses. 1t Is no dis
credit to woman to be second-class
wife. If a man has got his quota of
first-class wives and happens to want
q woman Of distinction, her parents be-
ing willing, 1t is all right for her to go
into his household as a second-class
wife. If child Is born after the term
Of the marriage expires, the woman
being a short-term wife, the father
takes it and maintains It.
The divorce laws are liberal-for the
men. A man can divorce any Of his
wives at will. The law requires tina.

Persia has no educational system.
Private schools are conducted by the
Mollahr (priests) for teaching the Kor-
an and writing. The Shah maintains
one college. This Is in Teheran, the
capital city, which has population of
about 100000.
The streets in Persian cities are all
narrow-too narrow for carriages-and
the people who don't go afoot go on
horseback. Horses are almost the
companions of their masters. They are
possibly the finest breed Of horses in
the world, swift and enduring and cap
able of tremendous amount of work.
One of the strange customs Of the coun-
try relating to the enforcement Of the
criminal law is this: A criminal of any
class who escapes to a stable and lies
down by the feet Of the favorite horse
Of the master is never disturbed so

suits attained by these odd POINTS are
often produced by adding to dress an
accessory cape or top, and such addi-
ton frequently changes a gowns out
lines or general scLAme completely.
Economy applauds this sort Of thing,
for while 1t Is foolish to make a gown
permanently cut according to some
patchy fashion, to be able to give new
character to 1t by bit of collar or
belt is to render the wardrobe elastic.
Pretty gowns were introduced this sea-

observer To look at a woman in a
dainty grass linen gown Is to make up
your mind, II you are woman, that
you must have such dress; and 1t
ought to make man feel that he must
have such girl. 1t Is no wonder that
grass linen is popular. 1t will carry
Off all the Celebrations of lace and rib
bons that anyone could desire, or it
may be made into pretty affectation
of tailor styles after the manner of this
first dress that the artist presents. En-
ployed in this manner, 1t Is jaunty for
the street, and yet not so wafin to
look at or to wear as would a gown of
such model be in almost any other
stuff. Be sure to have the stuff shrunk
II you want to get wear out of 1t. Be
warned by the experience of the bride

the chin and the curve OF the cheek are

knots are pretty; II not put on with
view of effect they are merely chuffy

silk gowns are being made with the
adjustable guimpes or chemisettes, the
chemisette shown being white chiffon.
The gown Is not supposed to be worn

her room till her trunks came. Then
as she walked over the hotel piazza
people said: ''See what pretty daugh-
ter that old gentleman has, Think of
having that said to you on your wed

Crash is just about the same that
Irish linen was last year, though 1t is
more stylish to call 1t crash now, and
Is also much used. 1t is as durable as
cloth, cool and very stylish and once
made up the resemblance to dish towel
ing is lost. AS this picture indicates, it
Is stylish to trim dresses of these wash,
or, at least, cotton and linen, materials
with little buttons, and designers are
still Indifferent as to whether the but
tons fasten anything or not. Dotted
linen trims the gown shown, a trick
that Is often seen.
White silk Is now little worn on the
street In the city; women that plan ex-
tended tours Of the summer resorts are
taking along silk gowns Of the walk
ing" order. These are to be worn on
dress parade at the fashionable places
and during the early hours of the after
noon. All sorts of delicate and crinkly
dresden are chosen, usually with very
light ground and bright pattern in
stripes, but already the mere sight of
the blurred mess of color and design
with which the silk market has been
flooded has become unbearable, and
only very tiny and distinct patterns
are liked. Two different silks are often
made up together, one contrasting with
the other in color and pattern. Skirt,
sleeves and body Of to-day's second pic
tured model are Of geranium dresden
silk that has green stripe, and fig
ured green silk gives revers, vest,
basque and gathered lower sleeves.
The model chosen for these dresses
Is not severe, but there Is a notable de-

long as he stays there. 1t makes no
difference whose stable he goes to. 1t
may be the stable of the Shah or bis
lowest subject While he Is there he
Is fed at the expense of the horses mas
ter, and no one can touch him to harm

The people of Persia are noted for
their hospitality. In most houses there
Is set table where any. man. Is well
come to eat. Receiving hospitality is
somewhat costly ON occasions. Once
when the first son of the late Shah had
trouble with chief Of one of the tribes
in his province he prepared fine din
ner and invited the chief to come and
talk matters over. The chief was de-
lighted at the honor and parteok of the
dinner, after which he was expeditions
ly strangled. 9iaV

there Is as fine a collection of other re-
ngions as can be found in any country
on the face of the globe. The popula-
ton is divided into a dozen different
races of people, and while the "civiliza-
ton" is one Of the oldest, 1t Is also one
of the most barbaric. A million or so
Of the population are tent jewellers,

enue collected fourth goes to the sup
port Of the Shah and his family and an
other fourth to the priests. The rest

and the soldiers.
The Great Carpet Industry.
The people live chiefly by agriculture.
They raise wheat, cotton, wool, rice,
tobacco, fruit and opium. They also
cultivate silkworms, and they mine tur-
Quoise and fish for pearls. The carpet
industry is pretty big one. About
81 100000 worth of carpets or rugs are
exported every year. All the carpets
are made by hand, and the industry Is
now almost entirely under the control
Of wealthy Englishman. Englishmen
also have gotten control of the opium
trade, likewise Of the seal fisheries and
turquoise mines.
There is no national debt to speak of,
and all the money needed to run the
Government is raised within the coun-
Try. Money is raised chiefly by taking
1t from the wealthy merchants. All
display Of wealth is avoided. 1t Is a
custom for the rich men to build high
walls about their residences, so that the
attention Of the Government shall not
be attracted to the wealth within. The
ordinary rate of taxation Is per cent.
on everything raised. per cent. on
everything exported, and per cent.
on everything imported. but the rulers
grow rich by the extortion of higher
taxes as well as by monopolists Of va
rious trades. No crime Is so atrocious
as failing to pay these taxes.
The unhappy wretches who have no
means are not, on that account, ex-
cused. The Government does not sell
their property, for there is no one to
buy, but, instead, subjects them to the
most cruel tortures in order to enforce
payment, on the theory that they have
the money and must be compelled to
produce It, They are scourged, beaten
on the feet with rods, SCARED with red
hot irons; their teeth are drawn one
by one, their noses slit, their ears chop

More often the servant says to the mer-

the merchant adds that to the purchase

~ Domain of the Shah.
Interest in a land where o mighty
nation dwelt centuries before Christ's
birth has recently been revived by the
assassination of it's ruler-the Shah Of
Persia. Persia is great empire over
which the monarch rules absolutely
with an iron hand. It's nine or ten
million people are content to live under
this absolute sway and cling to their
ruler devotedly despite the fact that
he robs them at will.
Persia is In the southwest part Of
Asia. 1t helps Afghanistan separate
Russia In Asia from British India, and
on its east is Arabia or Turkey In Asia.
It Is 973 miles north and south and
l,O42 east and west. 1t Is estimated
that It includes about 100000 square
miles Of territory. Noah's ark stopped
on Mount Ararat just north of 1t, and
the Government existed centuries be-
fore Christ and has been running ever
since, having had many ups and downs
In the meantime. 1t Is a country until
recent years without any railroads at
all, and even now with practically no
railroad facilities. There is but one
line of telegraph, and that Is owned by
Englishmen, and simply crosses the
country because 1t is the most conve-
nient route to British India. There are
no manufacturing industries to speak
Of, and there is very little mining. The
imports amount to but SOS, 100000 a
year, and the exports to but SIS, 000, 900.
The chief religion is variety Of Mo-
hammedism known as the Shit, and
the Shah is the defender Of that faith
and the representative Of God; but

1t is very rare that bearing orchard
has it's full complement Of trees. 1t is
best that 1t should be so. Most or
chards are set with the trees too close
ly together, and the thinning out by
destruction of an occasional one leaves
the remainder with a better chance for
sun and air and larger range for their
roots. 1t is very hard to get a new tree
to grow thriftily, when surrounded by
those in bearing. Their roots fill all the
vacant spaces, and II the attempt Is
made to manure the young tree heavily
and so give It q better chance, It only
results In a greater concentration Of
