BATTLES TO
RAGE 1T Y. NJ. 6. Il. CAMP
BOYS VIII Form Sides and Storm
a Fortress, Armed with Bean
Bags-Fifty May Go.

Regular military battles will be fought at
the annual boys camp of the Y. M. c. A.
to be held at Byron June Z to 30. The am
munition in these battles will consist of
stout cloth bags of convenient size for
throwing, filled with beans or corn. These
battles fought by any number of boys,
divided into two equal sides. One of the
sides will be given a flag. which it will take
to some convenient place of defense and
await the arrival of the enemy.
The object of the miniature battle prob
lem is to capture this flag. Each of the
boys is supplied with twenty bean bags,
and attack is made with all the intensity
of a real assault. The object is to hit the
members of the opposing side with the
bean bags. If a boy is hit on the head he
is dead one'' but if the bag strikes him
some place on the body he is a prisoner
and cannot Te-enter the fray until he has
been exchanged If all of the defenders are
killed or taken prisoner the flag is car
ried off in triumph by the winners.
A. K. Jones, physical instructor of the
L. NJ. G.. A, says that while these battles
are not attended with the danger of injury
which make some athletic sports unpopular
they have all of the elements of excitement
in them.
All arrangements have been made for
opening the camp, and thirty lads have
signified their intention of going on the out
ing. The number will be limited to fifty
and application will be considered after
June l3.

Dressnakmg Hints
BY MAY MANTON.

Vest effects of all sorts are held ex-
tremely smart and, in additions, are becom-
ing TO by far the greater number of woman
kind. The very charming waist illustrated
shows one of novel and attractive sort and
includes also revers that give a graceful
tapering effect to the figure and a yoke
which produces the dropping shoulder line
of the season. The model is made of sap
phire blue meSsaline satin, with vest, cuffs
and yoke of cream Venetian lace, frills of
Lerre and revers and belt of Rajah pom
gee in slightly deeper shade of blue The
pongee is novelty and makes a charming
contrast on the satin, but silk. chiffon vel
vet or any one of dozen materials can be
used with equal success while the design
suits all materials soft enough to allow of
tncking. The wide sleeves with the frills

Economy in Petticoats.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
Although skirts are growing fuller and
fuller. with a whispered threat of crinoline.
the petticoat is as yet cut to fit, with cores
and yokes and a general tailor made effect
above the knees. And some of them are
so tight up from the knees that in order to
get sufficient billowing about the feet the
fiounces are made separately and buttoned
or hooked on.
There are other reasons, too, for these
separate hounces; one is the device of the
economical girl who has only a.little money
and must have so she says, 'aS many
pretty petticoats as any one.
This girl has one short tailor-made foun-
dation OF silk moreen, fitting perfectly and
sure to last the season; to this she buttons
or hooks silk fiounceS to match the gown
she will wear. This not only saves money
in buying silk petticoats but also in having
them cleaned. II costs half the price to
send flounce to the cleaners.
And in wash petticoats the idea Of econ
omy intrudes again a stout muslin foun-
dation carries two or three sorts of petit
coat ffounces a day. linen for golf. pongee
for the silk shirtwaist suit and lawn and
lace for the evening dancing frock.
The tiounceS are circular for wool gowns
and gathered or plated for thin dresses
All the transparent gowns this year call
for chiffon or silk muslin or lawn lining, SO
that this method of joining fiounce to body
of skirt cannot be seen.
With the return of the wash dress there
is naturally a widespread demand for lin
gerie petticoats both plain and fancy. The
most elaborate as fine in material and
as rich in laces and needlework as convent
made baby dresses.
Some of the newest are made entirely>of
alternate bands of lace and batiSte COW
cred with French knots and feather stitch
ing, with wide ribbon run beading where
the circular hounce joins the skirt body.

To Wash Summer Gowns.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
How many dainty summer frocks does
woman give up because she is afraid of
their fate in the laundry She pictures her
Pompadour roses turned into small an
archistie flags, and her lace mitts shrunk
into half-hose, and her wool chiffon done
INTO melancholy rags, for unscientific
washing does these cruel tricks TO pretty
clothes.
But there is one way of getting delicate
things clean without injuring their tex
ture or losing their color, and that is by
using borax water Dip all fine printed
lawns, chiffons and laces first into a pail
of cold borax water, two tablespoonfuls to
a bucket of water; leave lace and muslin
immersed for ten minutes; take the chif-
1on out almost Immediately. Then rinse
through borax suds having a shaving of
CASTLE soap. Never boil delicate fabrics.
Last. rinse in two waters. first warm and
then cold.
Do not wiring, but let them drip dry in
the wind, out of the sun. Just before they
are quite dry take them from the lines
and slap in the hands few minutes. Press
muslin and chiffon on the wrong side, but
pin lace on to a clean sheet that has been
fastened to the carpet; stretch il tight
while pinning, and when dry it will look like
new.

NEWLY BORN R4BE LEFT
ON ASHLAND-AVE. PORCH

A baby but a few hours old. still in crit
ical condition, was left on the porch at the
home of +. K. Floyd, 1880 Ashland avenue,
at 10 o'clock last night. The baby was
wrapped in a piece of soiled linen, and
other than this had absolutely no covering.
Members of the family were seated with
in the house when a noise was heard upon
the porch. Mr.. Floyd, investigating, found
