with a DeInI-TraIn.

A cool gown for summer wear is ol
old-blue crepe de chine. The skirt
has "demi- train" and falls in long
graceful lines. The only decoration
is the groups of fine tucks which are
cunningly managed to make the best
display of the natural lines of the
figure, and to give additional height.
The waist is modified bolero shape
in front, edged with creamy lace,
which accentuates the outline of the
two jacket fronts. The lace seems to
run upward under the armhole from
the deep points in frcnt. A vest OF
white chiffon over cream satin shows
its narrow line in front. A high
girdle of old-blue panne velvet rises
beneath the jacket fronts. The plain
sleeves are edged at the Aaring cuff
with lace.

The Newest Fashions.

Light colors of all kinds are fash
ionable.
The old-fashioned blond lace with q
pattern scattered over it is revived
again for wells.
White gloves, except with black and
white costumes, are not worn so much
as the varied tints of fawn, biscuit,
nickel gray, cream, lilac and green
ish gray.
Belts are essential features of all
the new gowns, which means that most
all blouses will be worn outside of the
skirts, the belts being portion OF
the bodice.
Lace flouncings of Renaissance and
Venetian, as well as other kinds OF
lace, come all ready shaped in the
circular form, fitting the cut of the
skirt perfectly.
Silk skirts with silk jersey yoke
tops which cling closely to the figure
are one of the desirable novelties.
And then there are China silk waists
in all colors prettily trimmed with
lace.
In the new effects of old styles is a
knife-plaited black silk skirt, with O
little short apron overskirt, rounding
up short at the waist in the back, and
trimmed with application of black lace
around the edge.
Thin fabrics of all kinds will be
fashionable, such as veilings and Gre
pons. The most desirable thin stuifs
have finely embroidered dots and fig.
ures, and the mixtures of silk and
wool are most attractive.
Khaki letter paper is the latest, and
being linen, it might be made out oil
the very material made into uniforms,
from its appearance. This may not
m ean that it is altogether beautiful,
but it means something, and a great
many people will find it indispens-
able.
Lace, tulle, chiffon and lace straw
are prominent features of the new
millinery. Toques made entirely OF
lace over chiffon and completed with
bow OF black velvet or bunch OF
flowers are among the prettiest hats
in sight, Pure white satin, finished
straws, almost transparent, are very
much in evidence.
EYellow chrysanthemums are the
newest fad in millinery. Chrysanthe-
NUNS OF every shade and color, in
deed, are popular, even those OF black
silk petals. Flexible straw braid and
horsehair lace are among the novelties
for trimming, and are combined with
mousselino de sole, velvet or tulle
with excellent effect.

Halr pressing slyles.

One of the most absurd ideas we
women are possessed of is that we
must adopt new style of coiffure, no
matter how unbecoming, because it is
the latest thing out, Harriet Hubbard
Aver recently remarked.
Since the pompadour made its ap-
pearance 1 believe more women have
been sacrificed to the Juggernaut of
fashion than ever before.
Now, the pompadour is becoming
to women with rather low foreheads
and round faces. 1t is, in its unmod-
ified form, wretchedly unbecoming to
hollow checked women with high fore
heads.
Before settling on the style of hair
dressing she is to adopt woman shonld
take an account of her head, face and
figure after this fashion,
A short, fat woman should dress
her hair so that it will give an ap-
pearance of additional height to her
figure.
When the head is round the hair
dressing should always be high.
A very round head with the hair
gathered in pug at the nape of the
neck gives woman an utterly inane,
goose-like look.
The height of the forehead, the
size OF the nose, the shape of the head,
the general type expressed must be
carefully considered.
A woman with Madonna-like face
is almost a sacrilege in puffs and
frizzes. She is quite out of place ex-
cept with her hair in bandeaux.
On the contrary, girl with pug
nose, short upper lip and generally
piquant make up, masquerading in q
Cleo de Merode coiffure, deceiyes no
oae. She is only an imitation of the
type she aims at, and very palpable
one at that.

presses it. makes the features appear

stnge Snow stor,ns.

"You might not think it," said n
prominent glove manufacturer of
Paris to representative of the New
York Commercial, "but the theatres
have to come to our back door to get
material to help them out in their
beautiful stage effects. Waste glove
clippings are now almost universally
used for making snow in winter
scenes. Every wanderer and outcast

Siberian snow storms IS perishing in

Theatrical people tell me these
clippings of kid gloves are much bet

used. / think the superiority of kid
glove clippings over paper is that they
cling better to the clothing of the per-
ishing outcasts.

NEW MEXICO AND lrs PEOPLE.


Some fifty Of the teachers of Doug.
las County gathered at the courthouse
20 listen to the lecture of Professor
Davidson, of the State University, on
New Mexico and It's People," Hav-
ing spent some years in New Mexico
rs professor in the Agricultural Col
ege there, he had his subject we'll in
hand and spoke most entertainingly
or an hour or more, holding the close
attention of all present.
The professor launched out by de-
,laring that one going to New Mexico
gets the impression of being in q for
eign country, which is due to the fact
that of the people seventy-fi7e per
cent. are of Spanish descent and that
ninety per cent. speak the Spanish
language. There the methods are
those of the foreigner and the customs
are those of Spain.
Speaking Of the country it was de.
scribed as one great garden, especially
in the valleys where the soil has been
irrigated. Fruits OF all kinds, espoc-
tally those that would be found in a
semitropical country, grow in great
abundance.
The people, for the soke of ilustra-
tion, the professor divided into three
classes. The first was designated as
the aristocracy, consisting of the rich
and those who trace their ancestry
back to noble birth. The second class
consists OF those who are eminently
respectable, but not so wealthy, while
the third and last class consists of the
great laboring class, the members Of
which are poor-as poor as can be
found in any country under the sun.
The first two classes go well dressed
and make a good appearance, doing
the business of the towns and cities,
while the members of the third class
do the hard work and the drudgery.
All of the houses of the poor and
nearly all those of the rich are of
adobe.--sun- dried brick. While those
of the well-to.do, although but one
story in height, are comfortable those
of the poor are mere huts, or dirt
boxes ten to fifteen feet square, into
which from fifteen to twenty people
are crowded. They have no floors,
are without furniture and are on the
whole most uninviting places. The
food Of these people consists almost
wholly of cornmeal and red peppers,
the latter forming the principal art
icle of diet.
There being no almshouses and no
provisions made by State, counties or
cities, for caring for the poor, New
Mexico, the speaker said, is a land of
beggars. They are in the country,
upon the ranches and in the towns.
Begging has become such a feature
that each Saturday is recognized as
"beggars' day." Each Saturday the
beggars go from place to place asking
aims and every person is expected to
give. Omaha World d-Herald.

New York's Greatest Contractor.

John B. Mcdonald, who is building
New York's $50, 900, 900 underground
rapid transit system, was born in Ire
land, fifty-six years ago. He was a
fifteen-year boy when he arrived
in this country and had a,primary ed
ucation only.
His education was continued IN the
public schools. His first occupation
when he began to work for himself
was that of timekeeper at the building
of the Boyd's Corner Reservoir in
Putnam County, New York. Later
he was inspector of masonry on the
building OF the tunnel in Fourth ave-
nue., New York City.
When he went into business as o
contractor he was successful from the
start. The first contracts he received
were from Dillon, Clyde & Co. He
was interested in the High Bridge
branch Of the New Jersey Central
Railroad, the Georgian Bay branch of
the Canadian Pacific Railroad, the
Boston and Hoosic Tunr el, the Buf.
falo extension of the Delaware, Lacka.
wanna and Western Railroad, and al,
so did extensive work on the West
Shore road.
He constructed the tunnel OF mile
and q half through Baltimore, Md. +,
for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
which was n work of much magnitude.
1t was the largest single undertaking
he accomplished before he secured the
contract for the Jerome Park Reser-
voir several years ago, which is a ST.,
900, 900 piece of work.

Congressmen's Perquisities.

The salary of a Congressman is
$4,000 year. There are many ways
in which this sum can be increased
In the first place, there is an al
lowance of 1926 for stationery, which
can be commuted and taken out in
cash. Many Congressman do this.
They forage their letter paper and
envelopes in the committee rooms, or
buy the cheapest paper in the depart
ment stores. Other members sell
their quota of garden seeds, while
still others make it practice of dis
posing cf their public documents.
Another source of revenue is the $100
month which the Government al
lows TO each Congressman for clerk
hire. In very few instances does this
money go outside of the Congress-
mans family. No receipt is given
except by the member himself, aud he
can put the amount in his pocket or
give it to his wife OF daughter for pin
money. Ii public record had to be
made of heperson TO whom the money
is paid, the practice of keeping it in
the family would not be common,
1t is estimated that thrifty Con-
gressman can add from $1,000 to
$1,000 year to this regular salary.
