a well known Topeka girl is now plan

BODY's DAILY FUEL SUPPLY.

Man needs a certain amount Of food
to run his body, just as an engine needs
coal, water, oil and repairs. Starch il
by far the most important part of mans
diet. this coal being about four times
tie required quantity of .oil and re-
pairs" Starchy foods should be dex-
trinized, however, as they overwork the
stomach. The easiest, most appetizing
and best way to secure the necessary
starch is through the use of that thor
oughly cooked cereal, Toasted Wheat
Flakes. It makes an ideal starch-dex-
trinized food-ideal in that it gives the
amount of energy required; ideal be-
cause being delicately sWeetened with
Malt Honey, it tempts the palate; ideal
because it furnishes the starch dextrin-
lied for rapid and easy assimilation.

tiful examples Of the unfaiIing popular
ity of the frivolous parasOl of chiffon
ruff1es and frilIs. A plain parasOl IN
apple green has q wide band Of cream
colored insertion set in near the outside
edge which is further finished with a
group of three tiny tucks. Black and
white is very popular for the combina-
tion rain and sun umbrella.
The Seasons Laces.
The New York Sun is the authority
for the statement that ValencienneS lace
is not quite SO popular for trimming
muslin gowns as it was last season,
yet it is used to some extent. The rich
err looking laces are more desirable this
season and great deal of Bruges, Irish,
Flemish and imitation point d Alencon
are employed.
The latest batiste embroideries. which
really rank before the laees for trim
ming the thin gowns, are shown WITH
flower designs. buds and little sprays
done in cOlOred silks, mixed in with the
original pattern. These trimmings are
novelty among the latest impOrtations
and show again the tendency for flow
cred effects. and for combinations of
colOr-in trimmings as well as ma
terials
Among the heavy applique laces too,
you see dark and pale blue with white,
red and white, black and white, and
dark ecru and cream with white, the
color predominating quite as often as
the white In complete designs Joined
together like wheels or crescentS the
ecru and white figures alternate, but
there is literally no limit to the variety
of mixed embroideries and laces.
Very pretty effects are made with
gray, fawn, and pale blue muslins by
trimming them with d light brown lace,
a sort of dirt color, distinctly fashion
able for this purpose. The lighter ecru
shades are prettiest with pink and blue,
and are also used for white gowns.
But If the seasons appeal for greater
simplicity in dress is to be needed, the
white muslin gown trimmed with white
lace will be the thing to have. and with
this the white Leghorn hat win be
worn. II you wish to be particularly
subdued in appearance trim your Leg
horn hat with gray pcppies and gray
green leaves, and wear d gray sash with
your white gown.
FriIls of Fashion.
White mohair costumes will be IN
marked favor during July and August,
at golf teas afternoon weddings, gar
den parties, the races, and at all fash
ionable summer resorts. For general
wear they are made in simple tailor
style, for den1i-dress they have vests or
blouse waists of lace or fancy silk. For
evening toilets they are combined with
satin brocade, fowered taffeta, etc, or
artistically trimmed with lace medal
lion insertions and special pieces en-
applique.

The New Stocks and Ties.
Something new in neckwear makes
its appearance in the Topeka stores
every few days. At one of the largest
stores on Kansas avenue the butterfly
tie in embroidered grass linen is Il
pretty novelty which has made its APP
pearance on the counters this week
The prettiest ones cost $l.75. Very fresh
and dainty are the all-Over embroidery
ties with Valenciennes edging which
range in price from 70 cents to S1.75-
Cheaper ones are of white India linen
embroidered in blue pink and black IN
leaf. heur-dc-lis, bow-knot and other
faVorite patterns. Wide sailor collars
in pique with trimmings of coarse lace
or embroidery are new fancies- They
can be purchased as cheaply as so cents
The highest priced ones are $3.50. They
look very chic with pique. linen or
gingham summer gowns.
In spite of the introduction of novel
ties, however. the pique and Oxford
four-in- hands. which sell al so cents
continue in popularity. They are al
most universally becoming, and a great
many Of the girls make their own 1t
is quite the fad now for girls to make
their own summer gowns and shirt
waists, and the fashioning of d pretty
stock or collar is the work of only
few minutes, while it adds greatly to
the wardrobe of the summer girl.

Sneaking Of Hats.

The broad -brimmed straw hats, like a
child's fiat hat, are wired into pretty
graceful shapes for women and the
droCp in the back is given by pinching
in three deep flutes and fastening them
across with a long fancy ornament of
steel says a writer in the New York
Sun
The Panama will be worn later on for
a shirt-walst hat, and something which
is said to be lighter than the Panama is
called the Bangkok hat 1t has only a
pliable that it adapts itself to many diff
ferent shapes.
Many pretty hats are made of black
and white erin. Then there are horse
hair braids in basket fashion and what
is called mohair straw braid
The broad, fiat Watteau shapes made
of white tulle covered with black Chan
tilly lace dropping over the edge Of the
brim is one OF the most popular hats.
