tain more than their original popularity,
and they may be found everywhere. As
it is difficult to make these ruflles, simple
as It may look, tho kind hearted manufac
turers now furnish them in all kinds, col.
ors and qualities. There is also much
white ruffling used, as borders TO many of
the summer gowns. These ruflles are of
white swiss, crepe lisso and silk muslin,
and also of linen batistes. Some are cut
bias, doubled and laid in fat plaits. They
make neat edgings 60 anything, and are
useful as tourists collars.

The jaCket was English position style in
the back, cut away in front to sharp point
on either side with weony little pockets
and rounded up high on the hips. There
was wide scalloped rovers collar Of white
broadcloth, double stitched, and a white
vest buttoned closely with small round
silver buttons. A high collar and black
tie added chic to this natty suit.

The NEW OTLFIELDS.
PETROLEUM FEVER RACES FlERcELY
IN CENTRAL INDIANA.

n Has Transformed n Lot OF Poverty
Stricken Farmers Into Prospective MIL
lionaires--N Natural Gas Men Greatly Dis
turbod by the oil Operations.
Central Indiana is just now the scene Of
wild excitement and Il bitter contest. The
excitement is produced by tho presence of
n horde Of oil spectators who are leasing
farms right and left and dottng the land
sCape with ugly looking derricks. They
are preparing to punch that section of the
earth's crust full of holes In the expecta-
tion that crude petroleum will gush out of
every hole.
This is one element of the disturbing
conditions which have changed peaceful
but poverty stricken countryside into
hustling, bustling community where a
great deal Of loud talking, n lot of specu.
lating and but very little real work is be-
ing done. The other element Is furnished
by the frantic efforts which are being
made to stop these. new operations.
II happens that this very vicinity which,
since its recent baptism of petroleum from
the "Carver gusher," has been ohristened
the Indiana oilfields, has also been known
for years as the great natural gas REGION
ems Of towns and small cities have been
built up around industries which depend
for their existence on this supply of nat
ural gas. Great companies have for years
been making immense revenues by carry
Ing the gas in pipes to Chicago, Fort
Wayne and Indianapolis, where 1t is sold
for manufacturing, lighting and heating
purposes.
Now the theory Island it seems plau-
sible one whether 1t Is right or not-that
when oil wells are sunk in gas region
the gas gives out. Even the oil men can
not deny but that each oil we'll wastes i'm.
mense volumes of natural gas.
Very naturally the men interested in the
natural gas supply OF Indiana look ~ith
alarm on the development of their terri
tory as an oilfleld. They fear that others
will kill the goose which has been laying
for them the golden eggs. So jealously has
the gas supply been guarded that the In
diana legislature has passed laws for its
protection. One of these imposes penalty
Of 5000 n day for every day that gas well
is left open without proper control. This
law the gas men mean to invoke to stop
the oil men.
But the latter claim that this very point
has been decided in their favor by the

Care of Digestion.


Grace z. Murray, NJ. D., says, in
the July DelineatOr: Habit, that
great tyrant, reigns over eating as
we'll as over everything else. This
is true not only in the matter of how
food Is served--for instance, the
Swedish custom of placing soup in
the middle of dinner instead of at
the beginning as we debut also as
to the viands themselves. The can
nibal South Sea Islander relishes
his morsel of human flesh, the
Esquimau his greasy chunk of blub-
Der, the Chinaman his dried earth
worms, rats, kittens, puppies and
birds nests. The peasant and labor
er thrive on food that would be
loathsome and intolerable to the
epicure. Not only do these differ
ences of taste as to food obtain be-
tween nation and nation and be-
tween class and class, but also be-
tween families and even between
individual member of families, that
which is appetizing and delightful
to one being disagreeable to another.
1t is only in siege, famine or
some season of extraordinary depri-
walton that one realizes the true re-
lation of the daily routine of eating.
The education of the palate is a
singular procedure, largely a matter
of imitation. Children eat certain
things because their parents do.
These facts, though Of vital mo-
ment in relation to health, are sell
dom dwelt upon. Before you edu-
cate your children after the manner
in which you were brought up, con-
slider if il were not better to turn
over new leaf. Accustom them to
plain, simple food--not to eat to
crafty the palate, but to satisfy the
demands of Nature. Benjamin
Franklin said he was brought up by
his father to eat the plainest food,
and that in after life it was the
greatest benefit to him, for he was
satisfied with what he could get
wherever he happened to be, and
found that appetizing and satisfy
ing which others complained of and
could not eat.

High stock collars are used with

Small diamonds and Roman

A Proper stirnulant.

One of the brightest and best of
our national writers upon the home
very truly declares that zone reaso n
why some men do not get along bet
ter in this world is because they
have not the proper stimulant in
their homes. Their homes lack
those little touches of refinement
which bring the best out of them.
Neatness and taste are possible in
the poorest homes. Let a woman
make the atm osphere az dainty as
her means will allow, and she will
raise her husband to the same stand
ard. And as she elevates him the
effect is felt upon herself, her child
rem, her home and her future.
Some men respond more slowly to
the touch of a woman's hand dis
played in their homes and upon
their surroundings. The task may
seem hopeless to the wife at times.
But sooner or later the effect will
show itself. There is something in
every man which responds to a
higher and gentler influence. Let
his home be rough and he will be
rough. But infuse into that home a
softening touch, be it ever so simple,
and the man feels it, even though
he may not directly notice it. He
imbibes it unconsciously, and it's
effect is sure upon him."

Black velvet ribbon is almost as
much worn as it was in the Dolly
Warden days. 1t trims the ruffies of

put on skirts at each edge of lace in
sertion, making bands about the
bottom, or in the apron fashion,
which is so popular, and which
is the shadow the overskirt is cast

are designed for laundering, but they
are expected to keep fresh for the

The Children.

Children are the salvation of the
race. They purify, they elevate, they
stir, they instruct, they console, they
reconcile, they gladden. us. They
are the ozone of human life, inspiring
us with hope, .rOusing us to whole
some sacrifice. If, in the faults which
they inherit, they show us the worst
of ourselves, and so move us to a
salutary repentance, they also stimu-
late our finer qualities. They cheat
us of weary care. They preach to us;
not so much by their lips as by their
innocence. Their questions set US
thinking and to better purpose than
the syllOgisms of philosophers.
Their helplessness makes US tender.
Their loveliness surprises us into
pure Joy. A child is a sunbeam OH
winter sea, a flower in prison gar
den, the music of bells over the
noise of great city, fragrant odor
in sickroom. If any one thinks
this exaggerated, lam sorry for him.
