Hints For the summer wardrobe.


What pretty fashions we are given
this year. We never feel quite sure Of
styles until the exclusive places show
the very latest things Paris has put
out, because the best come last. But
this great event has come off and wom-
ankind can settle down to dream over
and plan her summer wardrobe. sure
she II on the right track.
Quite n noticeable fea ature Is the use
of the fine, thin laces, frequently the
old-fashioned silk laces we have not
seen for so long. There has been such
hue and cry about the vogue OF
heavy, coarse lace that the appearance
of these fragile, delicate laces comes
much as a surprise. They are used,
however, only on the thin sheer mus
lins, organdies and fine handkerchief
linens that build the summer gowns.
The coarse lace will still be used on the
heavy linens and the voiles and eta
mines. But ON the fine sheer fabrics
the silk crepes, the French mousselines,
the filmy printed organdies-this finer
lace Is used. 1t is nice, dlscriminat-
ing touch and 1t takes the best of taste
and judgment just when to use 1t and
when to leave 1t alone.
Another point to be noticed Is the lin
gerie effect in the gowns. OF course
the abundance Of handlwork used could
not but make trend this way. 1t is
all very dainty and sweet and simply
idyllic for the summer girl.

A candy lions very good,
Because he cannot bite,
Nor wander roaring for his food,
Nor eat up folks at night.
But, though it's very nlco Tor me,
It's not SO nice for him;
For every day he seems TO be
More shapeless and more slim.
At first, there's no tail any more;
And, next, he has no head;
And then--he's just candy roar,
And might rs we'll be dead.

There is an extraordinary old man

Teeth of all kinds have been wor-
shipped, and are, in fact, venerated as
relics in some religious shrines. Bud
dha's tooth Is preserved in an Indian
temple; the Cingalese worship the
tooth of a monkey; while the ele-
plants and sharks tooth serve a SINH
lar purpose among the Malabar and
Tonga islanders respectively. The ST.
amese were formerly the possessors Of
the tooth of sacred monkey, which
they valued very highly, but in a war
with the Portuguese they lost the holy
grinder and had to pay $780, 900 tc
get it back again. 1t IS now kept in a
small gold box, inclosed in six other
boxes in one Of the many temples of
the Siamese capital.
The American peanut crop averages
about five million bushels year, and
twenty-five pounds of the nuts make
a bushel. About s10,000,000 worth OF
peanuts are yearly consumed, either
in their natural form or in candy. The
shucks furnish good food for pigs, and
the peanut vine forms a first-class fod-
der for mules. Vast quantities of pea
nuts are shipped each year to Great
Britain and the continent from both
Africa and Asia, where they are con-
verted into pure Lucca olive OIL" A
bushed of peanut shells will afford
about a gallon of oil, and the meal is
used for feeding horses, and is also
baked into variety of bread which has
large sale in Germany and France.

Rural Mail Carriers Have No Snap.

When the rural mail routes were
first laid out therewas a good deal of
competition for the job of carrier,
but the carriers have found out that
$50 a month is not sufficient to
maintain family and pay for the
wear and tear of horsefesh, besides
the many incidentals such as black
smith bills, etc. The roads have
been bad for long period this
spring and the carriers fully realize
now that they haven't a snap.
There are many designations
throughout the state, but the de-
partment requires that carriers shall
continue their contract until their
successors are chosen, so many of
them are compelled to founder a.
round in the mud yet.
A number of routes are too long
and should be shortened-John
Heiligers for instance out of Lam
caster. He travels over 33 miles
each day in order to cover his lay
out. If the carriers had the privil-
age of going out every other day
while the roads are in such a plight
they would be pleased.

UP TO THE BOND COMPANY
Must Complete New Courthouse Accord
ing to Plans or Forfeit $4,000.

A representative of the Aetna In
demnity company Of New York,
bondsmen for the defunct Northern
Building company, came to Lancas-
ter last week to meet with the
Building committee of the new court
house with an object in view OF
closing up deal by which the build
ing could be finished. This repre-
sentative brought with him con-
tractor from Iowa City, Ia, who
had been figuring on the plans and
specifications and had made prop
osition to the bond company to COM
plete the structure by which they
were to get out of the dilemma at
no great loss. Upon arriving here,
however, and going into details with
Architect Koch he found he had
made a poor estimate and thereupon
withdrew his proffer. This left the
bond company up tree once more.
After comforting with the Build
luS COLIIIllUUOS, o. pIOpOo1UIOA Wc'o
made to the bond company's repre-
sentative by the committee that the
company go ahead and complete the
building according to plans and
specifications for the contract price
of 1913, 900, they to receive this sum
minus the amount already disbursed
to the Northern Building company
which is in the neighborhood of
$35, 900.
The bond company's representa-
tive was not authorized to close any
such agreement but departed for
New York with a view of submit
ting it to the company, and with
instructions that the option would
terminate this week. He expressed
himself as feeling assured that the
company would accept the PROPOSE
ton.
The company assumes it's liabil-
ity as bondsmen and will forfeit the
amount of the bonds, $4,000, if
it does not conclude to complete
the structure.

EASTER OBSERVANCE
Weather Not Suitable for Display of
New Hats and Spring Gowns.

Easter Sunday this year was sub
jected to severe criticism on part of
a majority of the gentler sex be-
cause of the cold, chilly, damp
weather that accompanied the feast
day which annually marks the close
of the lenten season.
But there was no lack of the real
sunshine OF Easter, of which the
solar light is but the outward sign.
All hearts were warm with it's prom
Use, and throng of happy faces
filled every church. Lent's somber
colors had disappeared with the
rain-laden clouds of the night prev
ious, and the joyous spring time
festival was celebrated alike by
saint and sinner, Christian and
pagan. The churches in song and
with flowers commemorative the res
direction of the lowly Nazarene.
Rich and poor alike, to the extent
of their purses, arrayed themselves
in bright colors and went to church.
All places of worship were gorgeous
in their decorations significant to
the occasion, the nodding Easter lily
the yellow narcisus, the many hued
carnations, the fragrant hyacynth,
the gorgeous tulip and the dainty
jonquil presenting a lovely display
on altar, chancel and window en-
brasure.
The stirring anthems and tuneful
hymns sung by the choirs and
brightly dressed congregations ex-
pressed the spirit of the day. Les
sons and topics breathed the new
life of returning spring and empha-
sized the central truth of the Christ
ian religion.

Gem ENT SIDEWALKS.
Large Amount of New Walks to he Con-
structed Of Cement this Season.

Contractor Nelson of Madison re-
Gently made purchase of 1900 bar
rels of cement, greater portion of
which is to be used iii Lancaster.
Operations will commence next
week here, providing the cement ar
rives, and a large number of good
walks will be laid on main thor
oughfares during the coming sea-
son at the county seat.
Work will be opened at j. j.
Wenzels corner, walk being built
on the east and south, continuing
up Maple street as far as the post
office. A cement walk will also be
built from the State Bank building
south to the city hall and construct
ed on the north and west Of that
building. From the Jail, operations
will be extended to the corner Of the
Hyde block. 1t is likely that the
new material will be used in a walk
from the yer-Showalter bank
block and the Wright house block
extending north to the Fischer store
and to c. w. Knapp & Sons.
These are plans laid out for the
present season and if eliminated

County Board Will Settle 1t.

Whether or not North and South
Lancaster will be divided townships
is question the county board OF
supervisors will be called upon to
dispose of in November next.
The law relating to the matter as
interpreted by Dist. Atty. Brown is
to the effect that if a two-thirds'
vote of either subdivision be favor
able to separation the question goes
to the county board at its next
meeting for disposition.
The vote cast for the measure IN
the south town exceeded the num-
Der required and the matter thus
goes to the board.
