DOES xouR.HousE NEED pArHTrxe9

Spring has come, and with it comes painting and cleaning house.time. Noth- ing adds more to the comfort and looks of house than good coat or two of paint well applied. John W. Masury 6 Sons' railroad paint heads the list. It wears longer, looks better and costs less than any other paint on the market. Pro- fessional painters prefer it to lead and oil. R. H. Beers & Go. furnish either at low est prices and the fact that they sell Campbell < Thayer's linseed oil speaks for itself and assures the house owner of s good and lasting job at reasonable figure. They also carry large stock of wall and paint brushes and the best as- sortment of new wall paper in town.

Light cloth is much used for sire ct
gowns. A platinum colored cloth
dress, figured with tiny rose colored
dots, was trimmed round the foot with
platinum taffeta put on in deep knife
plating. The plain bodice has a deep
yoke ruff1e of platinum taffeta.
A round hat with round brim is
trimmed upon the edge with a fall of
ecrue lace. The top is trimmed with the
same lace. which is twisted around the
crown n carried up to the back in a
big loose fold. where it is hidden up
under a great bunch of roses.
The trimming of this hat is rather odd,
i as the roses lie at the back, high upon the
| coil Of lace, while the stems point towa I'd
| the front and terminate upon the brim
just over the forehead, where the roses
generally lie.
Ribbon, as a hat trimming, has be en-
supplanted by lace and satin, though
sometimes used in bows and in rosettes,
which are so skilfully made as to loo
like pom pons. The softest effects are
sought and the hard outlines of felt and
straw are avoided.
It is rumored that the queen, or her
daughter, the Princess Christian, will
hold a garden party this June, and, to
anticipate such an event, several very
smart American women have order ed
handsome costumes and picture hats.

since 1898, and must now be fully 26
years old, has a new gown which is a
dream in prettiness; a sort of peaches
and cream d~elicacy pervades it, but in
summer one can stand a great deal Of
peaches and cream.
PEACH PINK.
The material of the dress looks and
feels like cream colored albatross, with
a narrow silk strip of peach colored pink
running up and down the skirt. The
drop skirt is of pink silk with a deep
pink chiffon flounce upon the foot. The
bodice is of the albatross, with the yoke
tucked in such a way that none of the
pink silk stripe is visible, making a cream
colored yoke. The lower part of the
bodice is tucked so hat he pink silk
stripes only are visible. AROUND the bust
! there is tied a fichu of pink chiffon. The
hat that is to be worn with this is a
cream colored straw with big, soft pink
silk crown, and an abundance of cream
/ and pink roses. The sleeves of the gown
are elbow length, calling for elbow
gloves.
1t is a passing fancy to tuck striped
| goods in such a way that the stripes are
| visible: and again so that the stripes do
not reveal themselves, so that it looks
like two materials. OF course, the tucks
| are no wider thar a straw and lie very
close together. An endless amount of
handiwork Is put upon these dresses and

THE BELT.

The new belts are the most striking
features about the finish Of summer
gowns, but alas, their classic beauty
must be hunned by the stout and short
wasted. The fashionable belts are trea-
ed in numerous ways. They may be
drapedf tucked or plated; or, they may
be shirred, shocked or empbroidered.
A width that Is being used almost ex-
clusively to trim ummer gowns for slim
figures reaches to the bus line. The
belt is boned at frequent intervals and
s11pports the figure so substantially that
it can be worn independent of a corset.

ALL PLAIDS.
Plaid is the ruling fancy Of the mo-
ment and plaid, whether in silk or
wool, is mad up into charming sum
mer dresses. Plaid wool skirts with
the tiniest and most brilliant thread OF
silk crossing the plaids is made up in
the new mode skirts which are tucked
around the belt and faring around the
hips. These skirts set as close as car
be imagined for six inches below the
belt line, where the tucks suddenly
cease and the skirt falls plain to the
very hem.
To make the new skirts very attrac.
tive there is a drop skirt of silk, Dor.
dered with a deep ruff1e of the dres.
goods. This drop skirt is quite short
escaping the ground all the way around
so it is not necessary to hold it up
The outer skirt only is lifted and tn,

This pretty fashion is less firing OF
the arm than that of lifting the Who'll,
skirt and drop skirt.

These girdles are of silk, built upon
foundation of crinoline, stiffened will

the waist and are very snug and be

the couturieres vie with each other in
making each gown a little bit fussier and
more elaborate than the others.
Young girls dresses remain plain en-
cept for the tunic, which falls over the
drop skirt, and the deep ruffles that are
used around the foot. Their bodices are,
however, very elaborate, and are a las
of fine tucking and lace. Lace cloth
comes in all materials. There is a silk
''lace-cloth," all open-work and beauti-
fully wrought out; and there is a 'lace-
cloth" in null. The term is applied to
any open-work material that comes by
the yard.

Below the yoke there is a border of
Roman blue tulle laid in soft folds n
finished above the panne vest with an
immense ~rosette of black panne n
Roman blue tulle.
Such a waist goes very smartly with
any of the elaborate satin faced sepa-
rate skirts of the season, and added
elegance is afforded if the taffeta has

MAY START BREWERY
Saloonkeepers Talk Competition
as a Result of Increase in
Hop Juice Price.
SAY THEY CAN GET $4,000 CAPITAL
Rock Island and Davenport Inter.
ested in the New
Movement.

Local saloonkeepers who are work
ing independent of brewing companies
are interesting themselves in the
movement recently started in Daven-
pert to erect an independent brewery.
The plan is to divide the stock into
shares of 81 900 each, and only indie
pendent saloonkeepers of good fnan-
cial standing will be encouraged to
su bscIibe. 1t is calculated that up
wards of $40 900 can be raised in the
two cities with very little effort. A
committee of Davenport men are now
at work soliciting descriptions. A
number of Clinton saloonkeepers were
in Davenport yesterday and were
greatly interested in the project.
Result of Advance.
This movement has directly resulted
from the advance of 50 cents per bar
rel agreed upon by brewers of Rock
Island and Scott counties, which went
into effect Aug. l. Afurther advance,
to take effect Sept. l. has been talked
of and has very materially aided the
saloonkeepers in getting together in
their plans. The present price of
beer is S. 30 per barrel, and saloon
keepers say that they can manu-
facture it for less.
