GLOVERSVILLE. n. Y. Aug. 1.-THE
body of George Evans, one of the young
people missing ct Canada Lake, came
to the surface this morning.
Evans disappeared last Monday, and
ct the same time Florence Brown. of
New York. who had gone with him for
a row on Canada Lake. also vanished.
When they did not return in the even
ing. a search OF the lake was made. and
their boat, with one oar in it, was found
Miss Browns coat and Evans sweater
were in the little craft.
The first supposition, which has now
proved true. was that the pair had been
drowned The lake was dynamited and
dragged for several days. and when
neither body was found, there were sur
misses that the couple might have been
lost in the woods, or that they had
eloped Today's developments show
these guesses TO have been erroneous

Radium EmitS the Greatest Heat

Experiments With Liquid hydrogen Also Show That Power
Steadily Increases Until Stationary Maximum Is Reached

Prof Currie. who communicated The re-
suits to the French Physical Society
Experiments with liquid hydrogen
have led to the discovery that freshly
prepared salt or solution Of radium has
a comparatively feeble power of Civ
ing of heat at all temperatures. but
the power steadily increases for about
a month. when it reaches It's maximum
activity, which it then maintains ap-

results have failed to throw light upon

to Mis- Maggie Willing, of this city, on
the esning of August 10. The couple
have Dt yet received the blessing of the
bride mother, and one at least, of the
bride brothers harbors indignant SEN
timers toward the bridegroom.

relatd by Mrs. De Granenreid's family,
had nown his enamorata only six weeks

Barriers Brushed Aside
II these obstacles were finally brush
edaside by the persistence of an ardent
woer. and although the brides family
kew little OF him, consent was given to
re match, upon agreement that the
Wedding should be celebrated with Cath
ole rites. To this. it is understood. De
Craffenreid subscribed his assent and
ne wedding date was set for Wednesday,

De Grahenreid, his brides family state,
announced about week before the time
set for the ceremony, that the wedding
would not take place until September.

the next day. His present occupation is

dainty costume for the small girl. The
guimpe may be worn over a yoke and
sleeves of fine white tucking and in
sertion.
A white batiste party frock has a
square neck. Over this double bands
of white applique interlace to give a
yoke effect, and extend down both
sides of the full blouse as far as the
waist line. The shirring and the APP
plique bands are continued over the
caps of the sleeves. These have a
somewhat exaggerated puff, and are
finished by deep tight-fitting cuffs Of
the shirring. The skirt has a shall
low yoke of the stirring. The inter-
lacing of appliqued bands is repeated
on it, and the double bands extend
down both sides of the front nearly
to the hem of the skirt, thus giving
something of a panel effect. A soft
crush belt of the batiste follows the
curved French waist line, and is fin
ished by a soft rosette.
Especial care is being taken in the
selection of the stockings, shoes and
slippers of the small girl. The stock
ings may be openwork plain, but they
are always in a solid color. Embroid-
cry in a contrasting color is entirely
out of place. White stockings are
much worn, as well as delicate shades
matching the various frocks Strap
shoes and slippers are very fashion
able. In either colored or black kid,
they look well on a small foot. San
dalS are a fad for the little tots. They
are worn without stockings, and, be-
ing both cool and comfortable. find
high favor with the children them
selves.

A number of the more dressy che

short sleeves and a cut-out neck. The

bouffant sleeves have been in favor
for the very small girl for several sea-
sons. Usually the frocks for these
three or four year olds are of white
cambria or linen, but some of the
French shops are showing charming
little slips of pale pink and blue mus
lin. They are either trimmed with
lace or with fine nainsook wash en-
broidery in the same shade.
One of these muslins is in baby
blue. 1t has the long waist, and the
blouse is more than usually full. This
fullness is drawn in at the long waist
line by white muslin sash, with hem
stitched ends. The short skirt flares
out below with a frill-like effect. The
elbow sleeves are finished by hem
stitched band of the white. The strik-
ing feature of the dress is the deep
handkerchief collar of white nainsook
embroidery. 1t is bordered by a mar
row scant ruffle of embroidery, head
ed by an inch fold of the blue mus
lin.

found of great economy for the small

THE SMALL GIRLS
SUMMER APPAREL
is SWEETLY SIMPLE
BY HARRIET HAWLEY.

After the extravaganza which reigns
in the average feminine summer ward
robe, it is a relief to turn to the small
girl and her apparel. She shows the
simplicity which once marked the
summer toilettes of her elders. Per-
haps it is a matter of necessity, and
not of choice. Her athletic practices
would play havoc among filmy fabrics
and marvellous unwashable creations
of embroidery, lace and handiwork
Even her ay-go-to-meeting and
party gowns must stand the strain of
youthful eXuberance. Perhaps, also,
American mothers are following sensi-
BILE foreign fashions. Nothing could be
simpler than the frocks of little
French girls.
The long French waist and short
