The riot to which flowered effects in
shirt Waists have run is beginning thus
early to show the inevitable reaction.
Flowered gauzes, batistes, crgandies
lawns, cambrics and linens even, have
been fashioned into the popular so call
ed shirt waist with only the back yoke
and stiff collar and cuffs now to merit
the title, until, like the braided gowns,
they have became WEAKNESS. For
midsummer wear the small striped and
checked designs are being called for and
are being offered at the high class
shops. The popular all over effects too
of foulards, these that look like kaleid
oscope broken loose, are showing a com
ing wane in favor by their omnipresence
at the moment. They are piled on
every silk counter in great confusi on
and at very low price, and are appear
ing on the streets with such frequency
as to indicate early safety The wise
shopper particularly she who must buy
for permanence and who cant afford to
discard the garment because it has be
come tiresomely common, will hesitate
before including this design in. her early
summer buying, either in silk or lawn.
Eton jackets of black are being much
used over light shirt waists of every
description. The stock and belt are
usually black as well

1t is possible nowadays for the anna
teur milliner to give to her creations a
decidedly smart effect. In almost any
store where ribbons are sold, big, styl-
ish rosette bows will be tied for the ask
ing, and these, in the case of child
ren's hats, with one of the pretty, grace
fully made wreaths or sprays, are all
the Trimming that is needed. Hats of
almost any sort can be bought with the
edges finished, either bound or corded
or edged with a double edge Of braid,
which is itself finish, and as the lin
ing also are to be had made, and some
times with the shir string run in, it is
the simplest of work to prepare a hat
for its trimming Pompons and fcath-
ers are easily adjusted, and the jetted
and steeled and jewel ed mercury wings
that are still so fashionable in one guise
or another 90 on smartly almost in spite
of one. The suggestion of milliner
teacher to her class is that in putting on
tri mining the materials should be sewed
through as little as possible, useing in
5 tead the over and over stitch. which is
much more secure and less injurious
to bows or flowers or ornaments of any
sort The further hint of n French
milliner is that the true artist in hats OF
bonnets never puts bow whe-e 1t is
mot gppTninOly of usp-to hold ont 81
fea ther or to tie in the brim or flower,
or in some way apparently be of service.
The one thing the amateur milliner
should not attempt unless she has the
peculiar mack for it, which it needs, is
the making of bow. With this aid
secured, however, as it is very easy now
days, she may approach the rest of her
task with confidence.

THE CITIZEN
WONLAN'S COLUMN.

A young Householder, undertaking
the Strengthening of a new tablecloth
before hemming by drawing a thread,
was startled TO find that the line took off
apparently a good quarter of yard of
her cloth. Distressed, she took it back
to the shop where it was purchased,
thinking it was a defective weave.
There she was told that the cloth should
have been shrunk before the attempt
was made to pull the thread. 1t may
be added that the firm was generous
enough to replace the cloth that she
might not suffer from her own ignor-
ance.

"A freshly made ink stain can be
easily and quickly removed from white
cloth, table or other linen, by being
treated with borax and lemon juice.
A saucer should be put under the cloth
and powdered borax sprinkled over the
stain moistening afterwards with lemon
juice This should be repeated three
times within the hour if the spot is a
large one, then the cloth washed in very
hot water, in which little borax has
been dissolved. After brisk rubbing
the stain should have entirely disap-
peared.

une by Colonel H. A. Coursen.

tween Allentown and Wilkes Barre.
Every effort will be made to have the
parade in the center of the city at 10
O'Clock and 1t will be one we'll worth
seeing. The magnitude and complete
ness of the circus may be inferred
from the fact that 1t presents twelve
really eminent bareback riders, name
ly: The Orfords, Frank Melville, the
Hobsons, Donna Adele, william WAL

liant programme of principal, double,

acts The other attractions Of the

PROCEEDINGS ARE QUASHED.
Action of Court with Reference to the
Abingdon Turnpike Matter.

Argument was heard by the three
judges yesterday on the rule to quash
the proceedings instituted with a view
to making the Providence, Abingdon
and Turnpike and Plank road free
from tolls and toll gates.
Similar proceedings were begun
seven years ago but were never pushed
to a termination. When the present
proceedings were begun they We're op-
posed by the attorneys of the Turn
pike company on the ground that the
previous proceedings had neve~ been
determined.
For that reason the court yesterday
decided to quash the proceedings then
under consideration and an order to
that effect was made.

ST. CECILIA ACADEMY RECITAL.
Music Glass Reflects Much Credit
Upon the Preceptors.

AS varied a programme Of music as
one would want to hear and as excel
lent as the most exacting could demand
from children, was rendered last night
at st. Thomas College hall by the music
class of st. Cecilia's academy.
Ninety-five pupils participated. The
renditions consisted of chorus singing,
orchestral selections, piano solos,
duets, trios, quartettes and sextettes,
violin, banjo, mandolin and guitar
numbers and vocal selections.
The orchestral numbers were espe-
cially pleasing and the singing of Miss
Katherine Foot particularly worthy of
mention. Master Robert Reeves banjo
solo was also a taking number, the
audience evincing much surprise and
delight at the ability of the diminutive
performer.
The recital reflected much credit
upon the children's teachers, the Sis
ters of the Immaculate Heart.
Our store will be closed Decoration
Day, today, but will open at 6 p. m.

TWO BURGLARS CAUGHT
Confess Their Guilt and Inform the Of. ficers Where the Goods Were
 Hid

The rolling mill store was burglarized about o'clock yesterday morning by two men and quantity of goods stolen. As the ewo men were leaving the back door with their ill-gotten gains they met some of the employees of the rolling mill on th=ir way to work The thieves be- came frightened and dropped three sacks of flour and other articles and made their escape up the alley way.
 Deputy Sheriff w. I. Love went to the scene at once but several of the articles had been moved back into the store house. The flour was left lying in the alley until Deputy Love had it moved Although pursuit was given it had to, be abandoned.
 Later in the day Officers Newman and Nix arrested two negroes. John H. Lock- stt and Jim Dean, on the charge of bur glary and grand larceny.
 When Lockett was arrested pair of shoes were found, which are supposed to have been stolen from the store last night. Dean, after arrest, is said to nave made a statement upon the strength of which five hams and a hat were recovered from his residence. About 100 pounds of meat was stolen, but less than seventy-five pounds recovered
 It is said that both men have made discriminating statements but that Lock- ett claims to have been alone. The ewo negroes will have their trial this morning when. it is thought, they will make a clean confession.
