return to the spurned and derided style
and this season a number Of the SWEETEST
shops have been making a feature Of it,
The very best materials are used of
course, and the workmanship is of the
highest order but there is the old idea,
nevertheless, resurrected and put forth as
the latest touch of fashion.
The effect is illustrated by the drawing
in this issue, which shows model, re-
Gently exhibited by one of the leading New
York makers, having q body Of pale blue
madras and front and cuffs Of white linen
marked with a design Of vertical blue
lines in groups of seven, the center line
being the broadcast and strongest in tone
and the others shading off to a light blue
hair line. 1t is but one continuation of
| the many to be seen, some with body ma
terial of stripe design and front and cuffs
of figure marking; others with body OF
figured stuff and front and, cuffs of stripe
design; still others with plain white body
and colored bosom and still others with
colored body and bosom, but white cuffs.
AS to colors, however, it may be said that
there is preference for the soft, pale
tones Of blue, gray, lavender, tan and
pink.

MARRIAGE OF DIVORCES
Governor Van SAINT Opposed to Shortening
= Period After Separation.

Governor Van SAINT has withheld his
signature from a third bill. This is the
bill by Senator Peachey repeating the
finland law of two years ago. forbid
ding clerks to issue marriage licenses to
divorced persons until six months after
the decree has been entered
The bill was urged on the ground that
the 1901 law did not prevent such mar
riages,, but merely drove the pair desir-
Ing to we'd across the line to some other
state. Governor Van SAINTS position is
that every state should have such a law.
and that Minnesota should not take a
backward step. Speaking of his action
he said:
II do not feel that any apology or ex-
PLANTATION should be necessary. and will
simply say that am opposed to any ten
dency toward laxity in our marriage and
divorce laws. The sacredness Of marriage
Is treated altogether too lightly in some
of states. and divorce is made too
easy and not regarded with proper Sc
robustness. T should be sorry to see Min
nesota take its place among those states,
and shall do all that I can to prevent

country resorts are the headquarters of
smart social life.
There is comparatively little to be said of
the silk hat Of this seasons vogue, a model
of which is shown by the illustration. The
best hatters are conservative in their
shapes, because they realize that anything
at all outre or noticeably out of the stand
ard style has no chance whatever of be-
coming fashionable. A tri1e more or less
height Of crown, a bit more or less bell or
slight difference in roll or curve of brim
marks the change from one years end to
another, and, even at that, all. the good
shops keep several styles and blocks, and
almost all differ little in the shapes
they show. 1t may be said in a general

1t is n great mistake to imagine; as
many men seem to. that with the approach
of summer. all formal afternoon dress
may be laid aside There is less occa-
sion for it's use, undoubtedly, than during
the winter season. but if one wishes to
be correctly attired at a formal wedding
in July or August the frock coat, or at
least the dark morning coat (popularly
known in this country as the cut-away),
is as essential as it is in January, and,
when the frock or the morning coat is
worn. the silk hat; patent leather boots,
ETC.. must necessarily be worn with it..
Fashion makes many allowances for hot
weather, but it does not countenance
negligee apparel for formal afternoon
functions any more than it does the din

in Intervening. And this applies to coun-
try places with rather more force than to
the cities, for the cities are deserted dur

The soft front negligee shirt is now so
much in evidence that one almost forgets
that the stiff bosom styles are to have a
place in the ranks Of fashion and yet no
wardrobe would be complete without a
half dozen or more Of the colored effects
for morning wear. 1t is strange how
fashions repeat themselves. When colored
shirts first came into vogue some fifteen
years ago the body was usually made of
white linen, the bosom alone being of
colored material. Next the cuffs and bos-
ON only were made of colored stuff, and
it was not until season or two had
passed that the full colored shirt became

STATE CAPITOL.
LEEWAY ON STATE TAXES
Regular Levy Can't Exceed One
Mill, but There's a Way
Around.

Tho the regular state =revenue- tax may
not exceed one mill this year, there is an
additional levy provided for, which will
probably make the total levy for state
purposes larger this year than last.
According to the Lightly bill, as amend
ed by the appropriations committee, the
state auditor is directed to make a levy
in 1908 and 1904 that will produce in the
aggregate $3.50, 900 to be spent ON new
buildings for the state agricultural school.
State Auditor Iverson says he will not
fix the 1908 levy until after the meeting Of
the state board Of equalization. when it
Is known what the total valuation of the
state amounts to.
1t Is not likely that the board this year
will raise values very much, in which
case 1t will not be possible to reduce the
maximum levy of one mill. This one
mill tax is figured to bring $775,000 for
the revenue fund. and If the new tax is
levied in equal amounts forsthe two years,
to raise S125. 900 each year. it will amount
this year to about .16 of a MILL This will
make the tax for all purposes as follows,
stated in mills:
E,aus revenue .nd %
Soldiers relief Observation-Disclosures. .1C
State school fund NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Il .Ot
Agricultural school Observation-Disclosures. .1t
1otal ...'.'..... ....'. ....... ...'.''' '-.o'
This is the same in all details as last
years levy, except the additional item of
the agricultural school. 1t cannot be re-
duced without large increase in the
valuation.

An error in the final draft of the bill
invalidates one Of St. Paul's bonding
measures. authorizing the issue of 100000

ready exceeded the statutory limit Of 10
per cent Of its valuation in issuing bonds,

debt it should be exclusive of certain
other bonds. In the law as finally passed
"exCusive'' Is changed to "inclusive,"
which makes it of no account to st. Paul.

Embellishing the Hammock.

Hammocks are greatly improved by
little decoration. The easiest way Of
making a hammock look gay and pref.
ty is to make a short fiounce of flower
ed chintz and sew it on each side, then
put in wooden extension sticks and
make four cushions of the same chintz,
two at each end Embroidered sail
cloth makes pretty hammocks. The
sailcloth is cut the length required
and a pattern in outline stitch is work
ed on it with a large darning needle
and double zephyr wool. At each end
hem is made, large enough to slip Il
brass or wooden rod through. A small
curtain rod can be procured for this
purpose, cut the length desired, with
ball ornaments at either end, to screw
on. A brass chain can be bought by
the yard and cut in three lengths about
three-quarters of a yard long, the cen
ter one a little shorter, so that when
fastened to the rod and brought to a
point ON a ring the hammock will hang
comfortably. To the ring which holds
the chains ordinary hammock rope can
be spliced and hung in the usual way.
A small silk rufife on either side of the
embroidered sailcloth serves as finish.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Table Decorations.

A form of table center that is fash
ionable is composed entirely Of real
flowers.
Rhododendron blossom Is particular
ly suitable for this. In bright cerise
shade 1t looks most effective arranged
on the white cloth In the form Of a
star. Cut the star out in paper first
and place it in the center of the table
as guide where to put the blossoms.
A star with four points is the easiest
to form. At each point stand a column
candlestick and suspend garlands Of
narrow cerise and white ribbons from
one to another, attaching them to each
candlestick, had at any large florists
for a few cents, and decorate with a
spray of the cer1se blossoms. Use
white candles with cerise shades, and
tie the cheese straws with ribbons TO
match
Other flowers that look well in bowls
are the purple iris, or flags, as they
are more generally called. TO arrange
these effectively some lead supports
will be required. If they are placed in
tltGot Will pitiIlA VI tlCiI HWDIuilkH
leaves they have the appearance of
growing. For luncheon parties these
are most useful, mauve being essen
tally daylight color.
Take pretty shallow bowl, place
two or three lead supports in It, fill
with water and then arrange the flow
ers. Stand this in the center of the ta-
BILE and have trails of pale mauve elem
ats from the bowl to each corner of the
table, where it may be attached to a
smaller bowl filed to correspond with
the center one.
The lead supports are really invalu-
able for almost any kind of table deco
ration They may be purchased at any
large florists for few cents each, or
narrow strips of lead can be procured
at an ironmongers and are easily bent
to the shape required.
