PONGEE SHIRT WAIST SUIT.

we'll as other materials, are so draped
as to form long, broad ends, and are
worn loose over the face. One of the
novelties in wells is of plain net with
border of graduated chenille dots.
This is also worn loose. Although this
style may be cooler, it does not pro-
ect the hair. The made veil still
continues to be a favorite, and the cir
,ular one is novelty. Mousesline de
sole and chiffon are the best for au-
tomobiling and travelling, green and
brown being the popular colors. In
London the veil floating over the
shoulder is the favorite.
Fine cotton embroideries are more
fashionable than lace. although lace
Is used for fancy designs, medallions
and ruffies. Many new designs are
shown. Old-fashioned trimmings are
appearing in modish gowns, such as
pinked ruffles. Suede is being used by
most exclusive dressmakers, leaf green
anu orange being most popular. Passe-
menteries show leaf and fruit designs
of vivid colors combined with gold.
Silk rings are used in the decorative
scheme, and some crocheted or button
hored in all sized. Many are worked
with gilt thread They should either
be inserted in the material or they may
be placed in relief upon it. Circles are
cut out of broadcloth and the open
spaces filed with fancy worked rings.
Some of the daintiest buttons are con-
structed of these rings
Many thin materials are attractive
and inexpensive. A pretty summer
dress of white with sprays of apple
blossoms has slightly gored full
skirt, shirred about four times around
the hips with three deep graduated
tucks and a deep hem at the bottom.
The waist is a full blouse, with two
tucks across the bust to match the
skirt. From the neck fitted lace
yoke forms a deep bertha, which falls
to the waist line in points back and
| front Beginning at, the neck of the
bertha are five small rosettes of liberty
satin with French knOtted centers in
black. A deep crushed girdle to match
| the rosettes is fastened to the waist
The petticoat is of thin white muslin
| with three narrow ruffies edged with
lace These ruffles are put SO as to
| show through the spaces between the
tucks. The gown is long all around
especially in the back. The wide. full
| skirt gives plenty of space for the
| many tucks, ruff1es and bands.

agine somewhat the purport of them.
The breakfast was good one, for
the plantation was large and well
looked after, and there was always
enough in its storehouses to feed
regiment There were great plat
tiers of broiled bacon and chicken
fried in that delicious style which has
descended as heritage to the south
from those colonial days; there were
venison steaks and sugar-cured ham;
there were plates piled high with
golden brown biscuits and hoecakes;
there were. the syrup of sugar-cane,
and berries fresh from the garden
beds; there was an abundance of
milk and cream and butter; there
were coffee and tea-al set If with
the brightest of silver and china that
had been brought from over the seas
and was Hell-nigh priceless, so prec-
ious that none but the hands of the
mistresses of the house were allowed
to wash it.
A bountiful, attractive repast, and
one the British officers were in a
mood to enjoy to the full; nor were
they minded to be interrupted at it,
vet such was destined to be the case,
| for, as they sat at table, volley OF
shots was heard and a great commo-
| ton ensued.
Bessemer and his companions
| sprang to their feet and rushed to
the door with such impetuosity that
it was we'll the table was the stout
piece it was, else it must have been
overturned in the excited jostling
! Outside, the soldiers, who had been
lolling at ease upon the ground eat
| ing the rations they carried, had
started up and stood at attention.
| Bessemer. red with excitement and
full of energy, as was his wont, or
dered his horse and, jumping into
the saddle, Glove the air with quick
| commands Into this confusion
there dashed single horseman clad
in the blue-and-yellow continental
uniform. Jane, standing within the
broad side-porch, watching the scene
| with interest and not little curios
ity to know the cause of the tumult
| turned pale when her eyes fell up
| on him.
Surrounded by redcoats. who were
bringing their muskets to theil
shoulders to fire, the horseman sweep
the lines with his eyes, saw a thi1
place in their formation, spurred hi:
horse towards it, and lifting the ami
NAL until it seemed to literally spring
over the heads of the astonishet
soldiers, dashed forward, not forget
ting, as he passed the porch wher'
Jane stood, to lift his hat and wav'
his hand.
The girl, with white face, strainet
her eyes to gaze after him as h
disappeared in the clump of wood
to the left of the house amid
storm of bullets.

THE NEW SHlRTWAlST BOX.
It Is Made of Light Wood, Covered
with Mating and ornamented
by Its Owner.

While the shirt waist box can hardly.
be considered a novelty these days, it
comes in for a considerable amount Of
identifying and improvement so as tol
keep pace with the development of the
shirt waist, which more and more is be- !
coming a thing of beauty. Mating and
bamboo combined make an excellent re- /!
ceptacle for miladi's sheer, f1lmy waists.
with their frills and lace trimming, but
in order to give the beautifier some op-
portunity the decoration must be applied
to the inside of the box. Such box,
is the one here shown. 1t is of light
wood, covered with mating, ornament,
ed by devices in bamboo and tiny straw
buttons. and to relieve the plainness Of
the interior there is an elaborate decora-'
ton executed with the topographic
needle. This extra touch of ornamental
ton adds little to the cost of the box,
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1904-07-27

but il is also an indication that the re-
ceptacle is the very latest type, and
therein lies the attraction for the girl
who likes to be up-to-date in everything
that pertains to her wardrobe.
Cretonne, that old favorite, is never
really crowded to the background by
newer. fashioned fabrics, although some
seasons it may not be as conspicuous in
draperies and box coverings as in 9TH
ers. The latest style of shoe box shown
in the accompanying illustration Is COW
cred with cretonne in deep cream and
pink tones and serves the double pur-
pose of use and ornament. The interior.
as is indicated, is divided into compart-
ments suited to different varieties of
footwear and the lining matches the pre-
vail;3g tone of the outside. Boxes such
as tAe two here portrayed are particu-
larly adapted for the country homes. as
thsy harmonic with the furnishings.
which, as general thing, are light in
color and simple in design.-Brooklyu

WHEN I'm CALLED.

Der the dark and swollen waters
Should my boat be called to glide
And 1 see the forms of loved ones
Waiting on the other side
Shall l fear the dashing pillows
AS they foam on every hand,
While before me streams the glory
OF His own dear promised land?
Should the night be dark and drearY
And no stars be in the sky,
When I'm called to pass the river
Shall hear the watchman's cry?
When He calls me to come over,
Cross the torrent cold and wild
Shall I fear my loving Father
Since I am his trusting child?
When the mists hang Ger the river
Hiding all the waters blue,
And the lovely hills of Canaan
Are quite hidden from my view,
Shall I doubt my trusty Pilot.
Shall l fear the misty wave
When I know that He is with me-
And His arm is strong TO save?
Should the day be bright with sunlight
When He bids me to come home
And the banquet board is ready
And awaiting me to come;
Shall I fear the invitation
or His loving, gracious word,
Or with joy shall ! go over
To be ever with my Lord?

American in her sympathies as when
she was thrown with British or
tories. 1t might be because her
father was dubbed a timeserver. even
by those who once had loved him
best and respected him most, that the
girl had developed this CONTRADICTORY
ness. Certainly, it was the occasion
for many passage at arms between
herself and her tory stepmother.
The officer heard her give orders
for the preparation of a good meal.
and then went back to his colonel.
As Bessemer entered wave of
astonishment swept over his forid
face. and he hurried forward to
greet his hostess. Miss Ellery-
you?" he cried. "Ah, how fortune
has blessed me with her smile this
morning in directing me hither and
permitting me to renew an acquaint-
ance SO delightful" He raised her
hand TO his lips as he spoke with a
gaIlantry of which few were greater
| masters.
Jane swept him deep courtesy,
while an ironical smile played about
her lips Il feel honored that Col.
Bessemer should remember me" she

The cynical smile did not leave
James lips. She had listened to Col
Bessemer's fiowery speeches before;
yet she was a woman, and she could
not help a flattered thrill even while
she was saying to herself, 81 wonder
how many women he has spoken to

But permit me, dear lady, to have
the honor of presenting my officer:

Knighted n Loin of Beef.

Though the truth of the story
that King James I. of England once
knighted loin of beef is disputed,
the house in which the ceremony is
said to have occurred is pointed out
as well as the table on which the sir
loin lay. The scene of the historic
jest lies between Highlands park and
Chingford. near London. It is a Curl
Gus house with quaint low-pitched
ceilings and a fine garden with fruit
trees of great size. 1t was on his re-
turn from one of his hunting expe-
ditions in Epping forest that the
British Solomon is said TO have given
practical proof of his favor for the
roast beef of old England

A Lesson from the Flies.

1t was in country school, and was
hearing my little second-reader class.
The lesson that day was story about
flies, their curious ways and habits.
Among other things. the story said
that flies always kept their faces clean,
and then went on to tell how they
rubbed their feet over their heads. as
could often be seen by watching them.
The last thing in the lesson was the
question: What lessons can boys and
girls learn from the f1ies?" I asked
the children to answer the question.
Only one small boy ventured an an.
swer, and that was: ITO wash our
faces with our feet" - Christian Reg

CHAPTER II.
THE FIGURE IN GRAY.

The hOrseman'S daring was SO
great that it had taken the breath
from Bessemer and his men. Tempt
ed to pursue, the British colonel yet
feared a trap. He had heard much
of the ambush warfare waged by
southern revOlutionists, and he had
no desire to have his troops caught
in an ambuscade. 1t did not seem to
him that even one of these daredevil
southerners would risk his life in so
reckless a manner without some def
mite object in view; and what object
could he have unless it were to tempt
the British to pursue him and thus
lead them into the arms Of a supe-
rior American force? Besides his
own troops. he had many prisoners
taken in yesterdays battle to be
guarded.
Calling his officers about him, he
consulted with them hastily. Almost
to a man they were against pursuit.
Perhaps the half-finished breakfast
awaiting them had something to do
with the unanimity of opinion, for
your Britisher loved his food then
as he does to-day.
So back to breakfast they went,
and Jane was so relieved at their
decision that she ordered Aunt De
horah. an expert hand, to bake them
some of her famous. crisp-edged,
golden centered batter cakes to help
| repair any injury the breakfast might
have suffered from the interruption.
Reckless, reckless Godfrey" she
was saying to herself, as she bade
Gabriel pass the syrup to her guests
and herself filed their coffee cups,
will he never learn discretion? Why
should he so risk his life out of mere
| bravado?"
| But, indeed, she wronged the
horseman. Though he was quite ca
pable, as she well knew, of having
| ridden into the British lines out OF
| foolhardy defiance and because he
| loved to take his life in his hand
| for the thrill such adventure gave
| him, yet in this instance he was guilt
less of so mad piece of folly.

much surprised to find himself in the

TRI-STATE TO PLAY
ONLY AMONG THEMSELVES
League Will Consist of Six
Clubs and No More In
dependent Games

Harrisburg, Pa, June 27.--so far as
the clubs in the Independent Baseball
Association which are not members OF
the Tri-state Association are concerned
they have been uneeremoniously dropped
upon cold. cold world. The Tri-state
managers met here yesterday, Harrisburg,
York. Altoona. Lebanon, williamspori
and Wilmington being represented, and
made out an entirely new schedule, which
entirely eliminates the clubs not in the
Tri-State.
Beginning on July 5 the six Tri-Stat,
clubs will each play sixty games up tc
October !, thirty at home and thirty
away, not one Of which is with an inde-
pendent club. All will be Tri-state cur
games. Each club viii have seventeen
open dates on which to play off postponed
Tri-State games. All independent asso'
citation games are cut out. In other words
the Tri-State is now a league, the clubs
OF which will play only among themselves
They are an making money and are SOUND

Manager Young, Of the Pottstown Club

club be allowed TO take the place Of the
defunct Camden Club. lie guaranteed
an entirely new team and said it woul,

Pottstown.
The action Of yesterday afternoon ha'
been anticipated by the clubs Of the In
dependent Association not in The Tri-stat'
and has caused considerable hard feel
ing. This action places Carlisle, Lancas

concerning his comings and goings for
the last two months We're so satisfac-
tory that Magistrate Smith decided
yesterday morning there was no good
reason to hold him in connection with
the robbery of Paul Greenwood or the
death of the man whose partially burn
.ed body was found near Essington a
few weeks ago.
Woman's Identity Established.
with the,release of Bottrel caiue the
intimation from both police headquar-
ters and from the coroners Office that
the identity Of the young woman who
recently was found dead in Crum creek
has been virtually established.
Detective Berry went to Philadel-
phia this morning with the expectat on
that before noon he will be in consul
tation with parents of the young wo-
man whose body was found in the
creek.
When asked last evening to tell the
family's name, the detective shook his
head and said he must first see the
members Of the family.
1t is intimated that the relatives
have known for several days the iden-
/ tity of the young woman whose motive
for suicide was revealed on Saturday
night at the coroners inquest.
It is further suggested that these
relatives hesitated to publicly pro-
claim their relationship TO the dead
/ girl I'm consequence of the notoriets
which would follow and the disgrace
which would be reflected upon them.
An autopsy performed on the body
by Coroner's Physician +. II. Taylol
showed the woman to be in a delicat,

the jury was that "in the case OF IN
unknown woman death was caused b.
