the interests of the country. We take

old gun which has so long served to

we dare to hope of the general bursting

The old gun had been an actor in the
times corval with the scenes of Lundy's

which its hOarSc harkingS drove the
British down the Elk River. after they

I've this season, and while not absolutely
new. for the fashion was introduced late
last summer they are decidedly original.
One very popular model has a wide circular
founce and bias bands on the waist OF pale
blue taffeta. The skirt is trimmed with
straps of lace applique. which are continued
down on to the silk founce. and on the
waist the silk bands are partly covered
with applique figures. An entire white gown
of embroidered batiste has the silk finished

this gown is entirely of the bands cut in in
terlacing circles, and every band has the
same design of French knots of varying
size. On the lace and net gowns this fash

tainly effective.

MusIins and 0r3andies Are
Pretty for Girls Frocks.

WRITTEN FOR H SUNDAY
Muslins, organdies, lawns and all WASH
materials seem to be most appropriate Tor
chiidren's frocks in summer and some
mothers never buy anything else. contend
ing that it is far healthier as well as more
attractive in appearance for children to
wear a frock only two or three times and
then have it laundered. For the morning
luck gowns. pique, linen. gingham ana per-
Gale are the appropriate ones. but for after
noon the thin muslins. plain or lowered,
are the smartest. To dress entirely in
white is always a charming fancy, and
there are so many materials in wash goods
alone that are especially suitable that the
fashion Is by no means a difficult one to
follow, but 1t is an expensive fancy. ali the
same. for white does soil more easily than
does color, and not one instant can a soiled
or tumbled frock be permitted.
Piaue. linen and duck suits look best made
with gored or circular skirt and blouse.
The Elton jackets are not very smart this
season, and are really too warm when worn
over the waist, which must needs be part
Of the costume.
There are some most attractive patterns
in pique this spring, with one or more ends
or indefinite plaid effect which make up
especially well in skirt and blouse. The
trimming with bands of some solid color
with polka dot OF white Is fashionable. but
all white Is smarter. Pale blue and white
or bright red and white are the ~favorite
contrasts where color is used.

Robbed of Their Covering.
IT average woman is serenely tndiffer-
ent to the sufferings Of animals, and hardly
likely to refrain from the purchase Of any
thing she fancies on the score that 1t has
been obtained by cruel methods. It is. there
fore. a comfort to humane people that imi-
tation tortoise shell Is much cheaper than
the real article. as 1t helps to reduce the
demand for the latter.
Genuine tortoise shell, from which combs,
hairpins, card cases and handles for eye
glasses are made, is obtained by shamefully
torturing the creatures from whose bodies
it is taken.

causes it to separate at the joints. and
with a large blade it is afterwards forced
off.
Many turtles do not survive this torturing
process. Those that do are allowed to
crawl away and to grow a new shell, which
will also be taken off IN duo course with

The indoor toilet for a hostess to wear at

They are generally ranged in some soft

or gauze completing models distinguished

formed a kind of polonaise, having one
side draped up into a set of rleats. when
the silk fen in soft folds. A-mauve mousse
line sash passes round the waist through a
silver buckle. The sash terminates in long
pieated loops and ends. The corsage
trimmed with cream guipure and mousse
line de sole is ornamented with buckles and
black ribbon velvet.
