The plainest of all is white
duck (1oc to 18c a .yard) with
either a medium or short skirt
and carefully planned bolerc
or Eton coat. The best styles
have a little belt, which fast
ems simply with a small silver
clasp, or even a nickel harness
buckle, at the waist-keeps
the jacket in place, and adds
a touch of care that everybody
who sees appreciates.
Perhaps the most attractive
of all truly simple gowns, is
the shirt-waist suit.
1t has the advantage of be-
ing distinctively American
and try as she may, an English
woman cannot wear it with
grace.
"Half-and-half" or linen
madras, is one Of the coolest
and daintiest of cotton goods
to make them of (28c to 5oc a
yard; but some Of the most
fetching are of Scotch and
American gingham Scotch,
zoe to 4oc; American, 1oc to
37Hc) which washes easily
and successfully.
The waist is made as simply
as possible after a box or
knife pleated shirt-waist model
with the shirt sleeve and
cuff; or the cuff may flare.
The skirt should be as plain
as possible too, with or with
out faring below the knee
or possibly with a founce.
A remarkably striking suit
Of plain pique (I2 nc to 6oc)
isworn with awhile shirt-waist.
The jacket cut after the old
Norfolk jacket, but made with
out a collar-ftting just below
the linen collar-a little low,
like a vest, in front to show
the tie, and finished with a
one inch facing, closely
stitched.
The blouse is loose-not
too loose; ending with a mar
row belt Of the same.
The truth is ginghams (1oc
to Eoc a yard), lawns (oc to
35c yard), Madras (12 Hc to
4oc a yard) and cotton chev-
OTIS (I2 Hc to 4oc) are as cool
and beautiful as anything, and
will be worn more than for
5ears in these stunning shirt
waist suits. So if you have a
'hort skirt and plenty of shirt
vaists-and shirt-waists were
lever as pretty as now-you
iced have no fear of not being
veil enough dressed for a

probably no kind of philanthropy OF which un-
worthy advantage is not taken by a few II is
also urged by some opponents of public drink
ing founts that since the electric trolley has al
most banished the car horse from the city there
Is, therefore. no need to increase the number OF
founts. But the truth is that car horses when
they were most numerous, did not drink from
the public fountains. but were kept well sup
piled by the companys water barrels and prob
ably suffered less from thirst than any other
kind of working horse in the city.
There is one class of men who appreciate the

The saloon man is taxed for the water used in
