This is a peoples campaign,

If each memb Ter of the finance
committee should raise one
hundred dollars, a sufficient fund
will be provided for carrying on
the campaign successfully We
trust that you will raise this
amount.
You may rest assured that the
finances are in the hands of re-
liable business men. and that
all moneys paid in will be ex-

Black Still Much Used.

A touch of black on all pale-tinted
toilets is still the distinguishing note
of chic. and this is especially to be
observed in the case of modish gowns
owning Paris and Vienna as their
birthplace An afternoon gown which
represents the very newest ideas Of
great French dressmaker. whose name
is one to conjure with, is Of old rose
velours mousseline, striped with satin
of the same shade, and SO soft and
thin as to remind one more Of SILK
muslin than any heavier make Of ma
terial. 1t is very plainly made. the
long skirt sweeping round the feet In
full folds. being gathered housemaid
fashion at the waist and devoid Of any
ornamentation, while the bodice,
tucked slightly to emulate yoke
blouses over high belt and the long
bishop sleeves are turned back at the
wrists. with vandyke cuff Of gold
lace, parted by a cuff Of empiecement
of tucked black silk, the collar being
similarly trimmed with black silk and
gold lace guipure.

For the Garden Party.

Garden party gowns require some
thing very picturesque in the way of
hats. and among the most fashionable
styles now worn are the Dolly Warden
and the ever beautiful Gainsborough
two very opposite styles. but both
having a very great deal to commend
them. The Dolly Warden hat looks
best as an accompaniment to sim
pie white muslin or chiffon gown. For
instance. such one as that Diane
that I admired so much at garden
party on Saturday afternoon. The
pretty white chiffon dress, with many
frills, was distinctly in 1880 style.
with its long sash ends and soft belt
of pale blue ribbon, and the Dolly Var
den hat was a veritable inspiration,
with it's full frilled brim of white
chiffon and crown of closelymassed
pale pink roses. Gainsborougl hats
look best always in black-gathered
tulle is altogether admirable-and a
long. sweeping ostrich plume gives an
air of dignity and picturesqueness to
an elaborate costume.-Exchange

GIVE THE BOYS POULTRY.
One Way Of Inducing Children to
Work on sthe Farm.

"oTN vi ~tHC Y dVWs
AS usual. there is loud complaint
from farmers that the children
brought up on the farm are getting un;
easy and want to try their wings else
where. This is not to be wondered At
when these young people hear and
read of what Is going on In the world.
The monotony OF country life seams
unbearable to them, especially ~nen
from the farm they obtain only plenty
of hard work, the food they eat an1,
the clothes they wear. True, one may
say that is about all anyone gets out
of life. but II we can plan some way
by which the young people can mako
a start for themselves they will. bo
much more contented.
Poultry offers a way of trying out
the feeling Of the young folks at
small expense. Give them chance
to raise poultry and have the pro-
ceeds for their own use, and in year
or two they wiz have become recon
ciled to country life and be willing to
make 1t their future or they will have
shown their utter lack of adaptability
for 1t, in which case the best thing
for them and for the parent Is to let
them leave the farm and take up the
work for which they are better fitted.
but don't lose your grasp on the
young people without first giving
them chance to do for themselves
on the farm and show what Is in theUl
Indianapolis News.
