at me, and shook his head disapprov-
ingly.
81 can't change that. he said
81 told him il was the smallest /
had, but he said then he could not
change anything larger than % billi
that they were not required hy law to
do so. i began to think would have to
get of and walk, when he came TO my
relief by saying that could get the
bill changed and pay him at the end OF

81 thought this was very considerate
When we reached the terminus, told

had 10 cents in change, the proprietor
told me, but you haven't it Come

Making UD Linen.


, The linen suits which will be very
much worn require certain handling
to bring out their good qualities The
skirts are not to be lined, for they arr
strictly wash dresses, but they need a
ten-inch facing cut to the shape of the
skirt not merely bias strip. If Q
close-ftting Eton jacket is wished to
set snug to the figure it should be lined
with the thin percale, boned and
hooked in 'front.' with a corselet belt
fastened permanently over It. If @
loose, separate vest of chiffon, en-
broidery, etc, is worn, and the regular
tscket-not Jacket waist-wished, II
is unlined and not boned; the collar is
then attached to the vest. Do not line
the sleeves, as this is intended for Q
summer gown of delightful GOODNESS.
The separate linen crash skirts that arc
neat with shirt waists are cut Az yards
to yards wide, have an s-inch facing
shaped to the skirt and the front and
side seams folded over and stitched
down on the right side. Such skirt
requires yards of 30-inch goods and

and Kidneys, and aids these organs

nounced by those who have tried 1t
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC or

BLUE RIBBON MEET
stin Breeze Prevents Any Good Time = A
Poor Attendance

stln Breeze Prevents Any Good Time -
Poor Attendance
The flrst in the series of blue ribbon
race meets arranged for this season was
held at the Crown City cycle track at
Pasadena yesterday afternoon, under
the most unfavorable conditions. A
piercing wind, which blew during the
whole of the afternoon, prevented the
possibility of fast time being made and
acted as freezer upon the spirits of the
few spectators who had mustered suffi-
cient courage to attend despite the dust
and chilling blasts.
The time was -distressingly slow and
there was not really interesting race
run. The Pasadena track Is in an ex-
posed place and the riders were forced
to battle against the winds which came
roaring down in their faces, holding
them back and at times almost blowing
them off their wheels.
The first race was mile novice. The
entries were Dean Cromwell, j. w. How
ard, Kloeckner and A. Woodville. How
ard and Cromwell came round the last
lap almost together, the former winning
out, however, by about two feet. Time,
2:50 1-5.
The entries for the one-third mile pro-
fessionals were Myron Hill and Frank
Coty of Pasadena and ]. w. Cowan Of
Los Angeles. Coty and Hill came in
close together, Coty winning in So 4-5
seconds.
The entries for the mile open amateur
were Dandy. Rowan, Howard, Broth
erton, Cromwell, Kloeckner, Woodville
and Mussey. The riders punched we'll
for the first two laps; then Brotherton
led out and crossed the line ten feet
ahead of any of the other riders. Mus
sey came in second. Time, 2:471a.
The half mile professional ridden by
Cowan, Hill and Coty, was won by Hill,
Coty second. Time, 1870.
The entries for the third mile am
ateur were Woodville, Brotherton. Row
an, Cromwell, Mussey, Howard, Dandy
and Wilson. Cromwell won, seconded
by Rowan. Time, "a seconds.
The mile open professional was ridden
by Cowan, Coty and Hill. There was
time limit of 2:45 on this race. and as the
riders failed to come up to this it was de-
clared no race. A third of a mile was
then ridden with the entries as before.
Hill won, with Coty second. Time, So 20
seconds.
A third of a mile exhibition run was
made by Billy Brotherton, paced by
tandem, in 46 2-5 seconds. This closed
the races for the day.
