SUMMER HATS FOR WOMEN
Artihcial Flowers, Varied and ncau-

The advance importation of summer
hats is here once again with the usual
display of extreme styles and STARTLING
effects. but rs yet the annual attemnt to
revive some defunct mode is not ap-
parent.
There are hats turned back from the
face. hats with soft double brims tin

Artificial flowers are more beautiful

charm OF novelty 10 recommend them.
Large roses with pink centers and pink
TIPPED leaves. pond lilies. camelias and
the most convincing tlandelions gone to
seed are interesting specimens OF fash.
Ionable blossoms with which to deck
our hats. and added 10 these there is
every hower known o Horticulture. Vio-
let and heliotrope in all the VARYING
tlnts seem TO be the most popular COL
ors in millinery. and there are lovely
tints OF plum red and soft. indescriba bic
pinks among the flowers.
Tulle is decidedly the thing for trim
ming any sort of hal. II is shirred into
wired fril!s which stand up three deep
around the crown. made in feather
duster rosettes with fancy gold buckle
in the center. or Graped around the
crowns in the most careless manner,
Fancy straw matching the tulle in color
is sewn on at intervals Of one or two
inches as if it were baby ribbon. and
then the tulle is used for loops and
twists. Liberty gauZe is also treated in

A dressy hat Of yellow ganze trimmed
with variegated pansies. is one of the
models shown. White and green tnIle

WADDESDON MANOR.
One Of Baron Rothschild's Magnif-
cent Country Seats In
England.

Waddesdon manor, at which the
prince of Wales met with his unfor-
tunatc accident, is one of three coun-
try seats in Buckinghamshire owned
by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild.
There are in Hertfordshire, Tring
park, belonging to Lord Rothschild,
and Halton, belonging to Mr.. Alfred;
but Baron Ferdinand owns, besides
Waddesdon, the Manor house at Win
chenden, and Leighton house, Leigh
ton Buzzard, in the county of Bucks.
Waddesdon is in all respects a model
village, and, if the jewellers there are
not happy and well off, it is not the
fault of Baron Ferdinand, who is the
kindest and most popular of landlords.
He may often be seen in the village,
and at busy times, or when any affair
Of local interest takes place, he is al
ways in evidence. Some times, with a
few friends from the manor, he visits
the shops and makes small purchases;
but the game is very expensive one,
for the villagers invariably refuse to
give him any change. When a man
offers a sovereign, Or even half a SOW
ereign, for one pennyworth of nuts,
intended fer immediate consumption.
he may well be surprised to find his
claims for change ignored. The trav-
eler who passes through Waddesdon is
surprised at the outward and visible
signs of prosperity, and the villagers
welcome his establishment, since it
gives them chance of charging upon
their favorite topic-the baron's mu-
nificence.

WHEN MoTAEr. CAME HOME.

Carl came in from the baseball game
When he heard the clock strike two.
he had to put on his Sunday clothes,
AS the train would soon be due.
fills good sister fixed his best blue tie,
Then took from the china bowl
pink, like one the president wears,
And put 1t in his buttonhole-
For mother was coming home.
He ran all the way to the station.
For fear that he might be late,
But the baggageman smiled and told him
He had a whole hour to wait.
Which made him feel very impatient:
An hour at a station, you know,
Is twice as long as anywhere else
Carl thought it would never go,
When mother was coming home.
o the days that had been such long. long
days
Since the mother went to town.
And her boy, somehow. kept ''seeine
things"
At nighttime when he lay down.
Then every unkind word and deed
To that dearest one of all,
When the moon shone IN his window
seemed
To be written on the wall
But mother was coming home.
Then his arms he'd throw about her neck
While he kissed her DER and DER,
And promise her he'd never make
Her dear heart ache any more.
But-what IL the train ran of the track!
He paced the wide station round.
And in his heart he prayed to God
To bring 1t in safe and sound,
For mother was coming home.
Soon he heard the shrill whistle at the
bend,
Then the engine plunged in sight,
And the fastest train over the road
Thundered in on time, all right.
When the mother from the chair car
stepped,
Her dear heart was full of joy
To see the glad look upon the face
OF her waiting, loving boy
Because mother had come home.

Facts About Mason Co. Washington


The editor receives many inquiries
from people in all sections of the I'm
ION, as to Industries, wages, lands, ETC.,
and to obviate the necessity of writ
ing letters, the following general re-
plies have been prepared. The Editor
will add further information, but en-
quirers should always send stamps.
WAGES.
Logging camp wages range from 81
$3.50 per day, and the employees are
charged board.
Carpenters So to So per day.
Ordinary labor $3.50 to So;
Woodworkers $1.50 to So;
Farm labor 500. to $25. per month ;
The nature of work, the skill Of
workman, and condition of the mark
ct makes a difference in wages.
RENTS.
A house in Shelton rents from So
to $40; some poorer buildings are
cheaper, but good comfortable dwell
ling brings So to $40. Houses are
scarce here.
There are some farms and ranches
which can be rented cheap, and one
or two places, which can be had for a
year or two for keeping them up.
FUEL.
Wood is burned almost entirely.
Fir wood sell at 80 cents to 81. per
rick (half cord) delivered. Hard wood
alder and maple will cost little more.
On the ranches and away from town
wood costs the cutting.
LIVING.
The cost of living in section is very
moderate, very few things being much
higher than in the East, and many
much lower.
Best flour is 80 cents to 81. per sack.
Butter, Is to 80 cents, according to
season.
Eggs, Is to 80 cents according to
season.
Potatoes and other vegetables, Is to
so cents per bushel.
Fruits and vegetables are becoming
very plentiful, producing heavily, and
are within the reach Of all.
LAND PRICES.
Practically no good vacant land
convenient to settlement, is available
for homesteaders. The Northern Pa
cifc and the Mill companies own large
bodies of logged-of lands, some of
which are we'll situated for agricultur-
al purposes, which are offered for sale
at prices ranging from ST. to SIS per
acre on the 5 and 10 year contract
plan, which is very reasonable.
We advise homeseekers that the
best and cheapest plan for them is to
find 3 partly improved ranch and buy
it, where they will find everything
ready to begin making living. This
is good section for workers, and idlers
and people who are not willing to
work are not wanted. There are good
openings for milling, or other business,
or intelligent farming IN Mason Co.,
but no one should come without suffi-
cient means to secure a start.
