ing. A small puff or epaulet still ap-
pears us finish for the top Of the
sleeves.
Shirt waists and blouses remain, and a
genuine blessing these are the one bring
ing comfort on hot days and the other a
dressy effect in conjunction with black
satin skirt. The modern blouse may be
as simple as shirt waist or as elaborate
as the bodice of all evening gown. 1t
may be we'll to explain'in this connection
that many of the shirt waists now pre-
pairing for the summer campaign are de-
cidedly fanciful, being frilled, shirred
and lace edged until they are many re-
moves from the original article with its
stiff linen collar.
A pleasing revival is that CT accordion
plating, which appears in gowns, wraps
and hat trimmings.
In illustration Of the new styles may
be described two imported costumes.
One, in electric green china silk. has
bodice, epaulets and collar in coarse
black guipure, harmonizing with the
trimming on the lower part Of the skirt.
The bodice opens over full front in
white muslin. The draped belt is in
black satin merveilleuse, shot with red.
The second dress has skirt in cream
colored canvas. The blouse bodice is
good representation of the up to date
blouse. It is made Of lowered yelling
and is set off with bolero vest in black
velvet trellis work. The belt is of black
velvet. Jeweled buckles adorn the COL
lar and belt. This style of bodice would
look well in variety Of materials and
colors and is very fashionable.
Many of the new tailor made gowns
are decidedly smart Indeed, the pros
pect is that plain tailor gowns will be
in the minority. The ubiquitous bolero
has invaded this department. A charm
ing example is in violet tinted cloth.
The short bolero bodice is fastened by
jeweled button over a full yoke and
vest Of narcissus green silk and swathed
at the waist by folds of dark violet
colored satin. The narcissus green is
again employed as groundwork to
fine applique embroidery Of iridescent
metal cord, this serving as border to
the foot Of the skirt and as an outline
to the revers, yoke and cuffs Of the bo-
lero. The hat is Of finely plated straw
in a biscuit shade and has scarfs Of

A Voice From Kansas.

T. It is not strange; with all the kicks
Kansas has received from editors and
others in the older parts Of the coun,
try that at length voice from the Sun
flower State herself should be raised in
self defense. Mr.. William Allen White,
editor of the Emporia Gazette, author.
ICES himself to be that voice, and he
speaks to the world through The Forum.
Mr.. White tells us the state is eaten
up by freight rates. "All raw materials
are shipped 1000 miles and shipped
back again for consumption. During
boom times, ten years ago, some Of the
craziest business speculations ever
evolved from human imagination were
set on foot in Kansas. Some of the ell
terprises specified by Mr.. White were
"a wooden mill days journey by rail
from fuel or power, "a watch factory
in county where people were borrow
ing money to pay their interest cou-
pons," "a car wheel foundry 1000
miles from iron" and "a bridge foundry
100 miles from any stream that might
not be cleared by an agile steer" All
this was done with money borrowed
from eastern capitalists.
1t may be the average Kansan will
not quite appreciate the Emporia cdi-
tors summing up Of the present situation
in his state:
A great commonwealth has been builded OH
these prairies by the Kansas people with other
peoples money. The trouble with Kansas is
not that she has forgotten what u great com
munity she has established, Tut that it HIS
been established with other peoples money
Hence the popularity of the slogan, ''Tho
rights Of the user are paramount to tho rights
Of tho owner" That, ~ the way, is no W
theory. 1t Is as old rs debt, and the PROPOSE
ton has appealed to tho man in debt ever
since the first borrower. Seldom, however
has the theorem found an entire community
in debt, as it found Kansas. The wonder is.
not that Kansas was won by the guileful para;
dox- for weakness is q very human attribute
but that SO many people should have been
found in one community whose condition was
such that tho philosophy Of the dishonest
debtor would move them all alike. In 9TH r
communities there were debtors. They votrd
just as the Kansas debtor voted. But Kansas
pay her debts. She has been busily engaged
in making them. The difference between Ohio
and Kansas for instance. does not lie IN the
kinds Of men that inhabit each state, bet in
the fact that Ohio has had so years start Of
Kansas in increasing the number of creditors
the savers, the men on the RICH, side of the
ledger. Ohio had as many gentlemen who
voted for the rights Of the user as Kansas had
When Kansas thrift has been working and say
ing as many years ns Ohio thrift, Kansas may
have as virtuous point OF view as Ohio has
today.
What is the reason that these very old
men and women, past century. are So
often found in the poorhouse? Brace up
and save some money, if you have to
live to be 1870 years old, 80 that you
will have something to take care of you

How to Clean Lamp Wicks.

When lamp wicks become hard, work
badly and emit an offensive odor, boil
them in strong soap suds, rinse and wipe

When you wis!: to extinguish light,
turn it down quite low; then with u
light breath from the top of the CHM
ney put it out. Thus you will avoid
danger and disagreeable odor.

BOS1ON'S TAXES.
The Cool Sum Of Over 1000, 900 Received
by City Treasurer, Saturday.

City Collector N. Fl. Taylor had a big
day, yesterday, having taken in in money
and checks, more than $2.0OO0OO 1t was
the last day that taxes could be paid
without interest being charged, and the
rush was made up of people who wanted
to save themselves whatever their delay
would cost.
The collection of all this money in a
single day is now done at City hall with
comparatively no trouble. Last year Col
lector Taylor inaugurated a system to do
away with the crowds that used to be
gathered at the office on the last day of

Some of the windows always had great
crowds standing in line, which used to
extend into the corridors of City hall
about the collectors office while others
had none
Under Collector Taylor's system paw
ments can be made at any window. 1t
is worse for the clerks, but better for the
public. and when the crowd is too large
at one window. portion Of it is trans
ferred to another, and taxpayers have
little delay.
Another Improvement that Collector
Taylor has made is in the bookkeeping,
by which it is possible to tell at anv time
whether ones tax has been paid The
posting is now done daily. and the office
knows just where it stands each day at
the close of business, the same as we'll
