A handbook still In use after l25 years is
rather uncommon In English. yet here we
have THE Rhyming Dictionary Of the
English Language" by John Walker, first
published in ITS, in new edition or per-
haps rather in new issue with the revision
of j. Longmuir George Routledge and
Sons: F. P. Dutton 4 Co... 1t has long been
the wade mecum Of would-be poets. We
shudder to think Of the amount Of verse it
has helped to burden the press with. But
It still serves Its use and seems to hold its
own we'll against newcomers.

TIE LATEST I'M DISCOVERIES.

la spite Of the fact that the world
has NOT yet digested all the recent dis
coveries Of the scientists, the latter
keep forging ahead In search OF new
maryels. The latest discovery is not
yet done TO a turn. but II suggests
immense possibilities. A Yale profcs-

face, with black velvet over the fiat
crown and pink roses where it turns
up.
Gradually sun-plaited skirts are
coming into fashion again and no
doubt by fall they will be all the rage.
Nothing is more graceful than a black
plated wolfe skirt worn with an en-
broidered linen shirt waist and smart
hat. All the fashionable materials
likewise lend themselves to this man
ner of treatment. The sun-plaited eff
fects do not permit much ornamental
ton, but a strip Of lace inset around
the bottom or medallions Of lace can
be appliqued before the plating is
done.
In Mousseline there Is a pretty new
shade OF grey known as mist. To
heighten its effect 1t is squared with
good sized stripes of a slightly darker
tint-smoke grey. The skirt of a chic
design has a graduated embroidered
plat running directly down the front
which come three deep tucks below
the hips, then a space, then tucks
again until the spreading founce is
reached at the knees.
The bodice carries out the same
idea and is trimmed with dainty guip-
ure dyed grey without a note Of
contrasting color.
In the craze for elaborate decora-
ton II is an easy matter to overdo the
ethereal feminine trend OF present
modes and the woman who would ap-
pear at her best must study the fitness
of her gowns for time and occasion.

NEW YORK. July 1l,--As If contin-

days Accordingly fashions being
largely determined by the weather,
many delightful thin frocks are being
worn.
II may sem like repeating an oft
told story, but there is nothing 80

seashore, country. scales the mountain
or dips the briny bue sea.
The light weight wool fabrics have

There is a vast difference, you know.
for even frocks OF calico can be made
too elaborate to ever enter upon terms
Of intimacy with the laundry woman,
Hemstitched effects are probably In
the lead for popular favor because
In themselves they are elaborate and
not necessarily expensive.
A hemstitched lawn costing fifteen
cents u yard can be daintily designed
with imitation Of valenceinnes, The
skirt OF a strikingly pretty model has
a yoke over the hips which extends
into a wide box plat down the cen
ter Of the front and graduated To a
flare over the feet. To be CONNIE Il
fant all dresses must be long and
trailing. II Is almost impossible TO
gain the sweeping graceful lines I'M
less they are. Then with a plethora
Of cleansing fluids on the market 1t Is
possible 70 keep them immaculate
WITH little trouble,
From the box plat on the skirt
comes the deep nounce above which
are rows and rows Of shirring which

their laces will be interested TO know

time since so few black and white
effects were worn as this year. The
rage seems 10 be for all OF a kind.

that Section II of the Rules and Reg
ulations for holding elections requires
that
II more nominees are voted for on a
ballot than there are offices to be filled
or II a ballot in any other way be con-
trary to the provisions hereof, then
such ballot and all 1t contains must be
rejected.
This regulation. which is in force.

II clear and distinct. II does not pro-
vide that the vote for the particular
office shall be rejected, but that the
entire ballot shall be thrown out, in
Guiding, OF course, all nominees on said
