A Smart Costume.

In the sketch you will see another
ultra smart linen costume. This time
an embroidered robe has been used.
The embroidery is in white and tan, a
raised conventional flower eked out
with heavy linen thread French knots.
The skirt is divided into panels by
means of a small fold held down by
cross stitching. The jacket is cut
loose, with sleeves reaching half way
down the arm. 1t is trimmed with
heavy lace medallions and applique Of
a slightly darker tone. With this is
worn two tone coral red satin girdle
and a hat trimmed with two shades of
coral red ribbon and a bunch of cher
ries. And then, OF course. to finish the
whole there must be a scarlet petticoat
and sunshade.
Coral red is certainly all the rage
this season. One sees It everywhere,
even whole shirtwaist suits being made
of foulard in this tint. One I saw re-

held in by a wide leather girdle. There

The dress was relieved only by some
pieces of Irish lace at the neck and
wrists

St. Louis. June 24.---The Burns Cot

of the Burns descendants. Miss Jean
Armour Burns Brown, the great grand
daughter of the Scottish bard, visits
the Scoular's each year.
When the Ayr citizen sent his ac-

ton he added the line, Il wish Miss
Jean could come over for a little stay
and see the cottage in your far west.
1t is not impossible that she may
come. II so. she would probably pre-

like the portraits of the poet. Thous-

No less a man than Lord Bosebery
said last summer as he saw Miss
Burns Brown, Though there are 9TH
er descendants living. there is no one
so like the poet
AS an added proof of the likeness a
Scotch peasant woman had come down
from beyond Edinburgh that same day
to visit her poets house. Being shown
by Miss Brown into Robert Burns
room, where several pictures of him
are hanging, the old lady raised her
hands and exclaimed, "Ye're like him!

year puts on the applique exactly as 1t

anew in some complex manner. Be-

are three little straps of the Irish lace

the color scheme, which is charming

Cruise in Northern waterways Great
ly Impresses writer-C Contrasts
with Other Groups.

jerome Hart writes in the Chi
cago Daily News: 81 never heard
any particular pother made over
the number of the Scandinavian
islands. ! had often heard of the
fiords, never of the islands. There
fore, was surprised when we
sailed through the endless isles of
granite piercing through steel
colored swirls of sea. For the
islands around the coasts of Den
mark, Sweden and Norway and
thence across the Gulf of Bothnia
and the Gulf of Finland are liter
ally endless and they are all of
primitive granite. There are
great islands, small islands, little
islands, islets, rocks, pinnacles
and needles. Thousands of them
are nameless, although all seem to
be charted. Coming from the
North cape down TO the coast OF
Norway through the Skager rack,
the Kattegat, past Copenhagen
and up into the strait between
GOtland and Sweden, believe the
ships must pass through scores
of thousands of islands. In one
group alone lying off Stockholm,
the Alands islands, there are over
! 300 on the chart.
One of the most beautiful
groups of islands is that through
which the vessel passes from the
open Baltic sea to the harbOr of
Stockholm" continued Mr.. Hart.
81 cannot even guess how many
there are in the group. For a
couple of hours you steam through
these inland waterways, island
after island-tO starbOard, to
port, ahead and astern-islands
moving rhythmically around you
as far as eye can see-in apparent
parallelOgrams, then lengthen
ing into rhOmbs, then diamond
wise, like the trees in a vast Cali
fOrnia orchard. The comparison
is not a forced one, for each island
is wooded so that it looks like 4
large bunchy tree. Masses of
granite as the islands are, the
birches and frs find a footing on
them in little patches of soil in
the rocky crevices. These islands
are so rocky that the people have
constructed steps of wood or iron
in every direction over them, as
the foothold is insecure on the
smooth and slippery rock"
Contrasting these many islands
with famous groups nearer home,
Mr.. Hart writes: ~ had often
heard of the st. Lawrence's
Thousand islands, yet when first
sailed on the st. Lawrence l was
disappointed in the number of is
lands, numerous as they are.

Runaway Accident.

Monday afternoon as Ward
Brown and John Adams were re-
turning to Rising Sun from Oak
Hill their horse stumbled and fell
while coming down Gibson's hill,
throwing them both from the
vehicle. The horse regained his
feet and finding himself driverless
started down the road at rapid
rate. When in front of W. P.
Shades the runaway collided with
a team being driven in the opposite
direction by Miss Anna Bell. Miss
Bell was thrown from her buggy
but pluckily held the lines and
was dragged for some distance
through the mud, being all the while
directly underneath the vehicle.
Her horse finally stopped and
when aid reached the woman
it was found she was badly cut
about the head and otherwise
severely bruised. Both vehicles
were more or less damaged.

Struck BY Lightning.

During the heavy gust last Tues
day afternoon lightning struck a
fine poplar tree near Wayne Rey-
nolds residence. This tree has
caused many lumbermen's eyes to
glisten and Mr.. Reynolds has had
some tempting offers made him for
it, but always refused to have the
tree felled. 1t will likely be con-
verted into lumber ere long as the
bolt on Tuesday ripped off so much
bark that the tree will probably
die. A number of cattle were in
the field close to the tree at the
time it was struck but were not
affected by the charge.
