CONTRACTORS AFTER MEN
Expected That Carpenters From Other
cities VIII Come Here.

The contracting carpenters of the
city are advertising for men to take
the place of the striking union car
penters. They claim that the latter
have not officially notified them of
their demands and that they are there
fore free to get other men if they can.
Men from other cities are expected to
come here to fill the vacancies.

puts only one dining room and one
kitchen to its proper use two or three
must be converted into living rooms.
The dining room lends itself easily to the
transformation, but the kitchen, which
seems quite hopeless at first glance,
often becomes the prize room of the
house. If the landlord proves accom-
modating and removes the range, the
laundry tubs and the sink, the occupants
of the pitcher can furnish it as she
could any other room. But if he Is
crusty and declines to interfere with
anything in the kitchen, little ingenuity
is all that is needed to make the kitchen
a most allurng place
The range, in the first place, draped
with some pretty material. makes a con-
Venient dressing table, and the oven, as
substitute for a shoebag, cannot be
surpassed. The laundry tubs, we'll COW
cred, become a desk on which one might
write poem or a ten-Volume novel,
and the cupboard we'll stocked book
case. Some rich tapestry or drapery
over the dumb-Waiter door DISCUSSES it
effectually and lends warmth and color
to the whole room. A screen around the
sink and the inevitable couch complete
the equipment of room which is quite
unique in the annals of house furnish
ing The girl with the kitchen, too, is
blessed with more closet room than
usually falls to the snare of the apart
ment colontst. Sometimes the pantry,
with its large supply of shelves, closets
and drawers is allotted to her. But, at
least, she has the iceboX, and until a
ory, clean iceboX has been tested as an
ideal place for hats and shirt waists no

ling. He wore shirt waist as the most
comfortable and sensible garment which
he could select for travelling, and since
it had been received without a frown in
Washington he had no hesitation about
the propriety Of wearing It He was
somewhat surprised therefore, when he
was refused admission to the dining car
west of Chicago until he had donned his
coat.
But in spite Of prejudice, arguments and
ridicule, there seems now little doubt
but that the shirt waist will gain
permanent place for itself, and that with
in short space of time men will be
left free to choose their individual man

The shirt waist accepted, the next i'm
portant question is with regard to the
method of holding the trous ers in place.
Men may be even now seen giving an I'M

industriosly tucking in the superfuous
bagginess of their waists, and the sight
is about as charming as that of the shirt

The Muslin Gown for Summer.

The foundation skirt of muslin gown
Is of Importance, and it is as well to
make it first, even If it is nothing but
a petticoat Whether of muslin or silk,
1t must be made and finished with its
luffies just exactly like a dress skirt.
1t is indeed the underskirt of the gown,
for upon it depends the appearance of
the muslin gown itself. This petticoat
Should have a slight sweep, and the re
CURED flare about the feet at the front
and sides. If you have an, old or half
worn taffeta skirt, it will prove of value
in this particular. In making thin gown
of, we will say, Swiss muslin, make the
taffeta skirt with a deep silk accordion
plated fiounce, Cover this with circular
f1ounce of muslin covered with inch
wide bias folds running round, and over
tapping each other just enough to hide
the edge and the stitching. Then the
skirt proper falls over this founce like
tunic, and has a pointed or scalloped
edge finished with lace. The waist should
have lace guimpe, and may be finished
simply with a fichu if it is becoming.
Or it may be finished with a lace or silk
bolero. Silk boleros to match the skirt
lining are a pretty feature of the sum-
mer season.
Another pretty muslin gown is fitted to
the hips by succession of perpendicular
tucks extending to the knee where the
tucks are released to furnish a founce
that is in turn tucked in inch-wide tucks
running round in parallel lines. This,
however, is not simple of construction.
and is not to be recommended, unless the
skilled artist has 1t in hand.-July Ledger
Monthly.

BRIGAND BUCKLES

'Brigand' buckles in silver are novel;
ties in summer jewelry. They are five
inches long and devoid of other ornamen-
tation than high polish. upon the quar-
ter-inch strip Of silver which forms the
sharp colored outline that alone consti-
tutes the buckle. What with brigand
buckles for belts, and "Colonial''- or
Dame" buckles for her summer after
embroideries, Egyptian linen gown, and
all the rest of the foreign materials
modes and periods, woman is a little
world in herself.
And while brigand and many other
buckles are designed and desired by us
for morning use, the big pin Of sons
choice sort confines our afternoon belts,
because they are low and pointed, and In
the main best held in place by a pin,
cameo coral, turquoise mosaic, anything
good of this kind, and the more foreign
looking the meter. .
The success in the use Of coral is in
finding complementary background; It
is one of the most difficult colors to match
under the sun. Indeed, It is next to I'M
possible exactly to duplicate any shade of
it. I saw lately a costly toilette ruined
by the attempt to make pins and ropes
of coral on it combine with scarlet silk.
One of the prettiest common uses of coral
shows it in combination with the ever
popular navy or French blue and white

THE LADY AND THE DINGLEY LAW

"They are perfectly sweet In London, >
she said THE shopkeepers all sympa-
thize with the poor American woman
who wants to take back to her native
shores all kinds of garments and furs and
frocks that can be bought cheaper IN
England than in America. Well, the nor
rid Dingley law only allows you to bring
free of duty OF course. no self-respect-
Ing, free born, law abiding American
woman would try to evade the law.
Neither would she want to pay duty.
And as for bribing and smuggling. Perish

Some of my friends have had such
sad experiences" she continued dreamily
nine gowns, and when the custom house
Paul Prys tried to bully her into paying
duty she naturally rebelled.
" Am I not allowed 500 of dutiable
goods?" she asked. They said she was.
Well, these clothes cost only $75. The
hats were S15-$2.50 each-in London. The
gowns were $780, And she tod the IN
dividual price Of each frock very willing
ly and promptly and glibly. But those
customs inspectors were brutes They
would not take ladys word They had
the impudence to say that not one Of
the gowns could have been bought IN
New York for less than 500. and that
the hats were worth from 500 to $50
apiece. Wasn't it outrageous? Well, she
had to pay duty or have her frocks sold
by auction and she herself sent to Lud-
low street jail-and this is called free
country!
But, as I was saying. the London
shopkeepers are darlings. They mark
their hats and gowns for one before one
sails for home. Things are cheaper over
