Nothing is more refreshing to the
eye on a warm day than a pretty girl
daintily clad in fresh white frock,
and white in all materials is seen in
the shirtwaist suit. Looking back for
few seasons brings a wondering as
to why these dresses were not always
worn, and also thanks to the athletic
girl for bravely insisting upon shorter
skirts for the links and tennis courts.
Three inches above the ground is not
too short; in fact, hardly short enough
for deep dust or dewy grass, and this
is considered the standard length for
the summer suits. White lawn is the
material used in the model illustrated
today, and the skirt is in seven
breadths, but slightly gored, and with
three two-inch tucks run at even dis
tances. The fullness at waist line is
in plaits stitched down on edges to
give the effect of a graduated yoke,
with box plait at front The waist
has yoke at front and back extending
over tops of sleeves, and outlined by
rows of stitching which continue along
shoulder seam. Below the yoke at
back the groups of tucks are full length
from under tabs, at front and on
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-06-26

sleeves three inches is the length at
which they stop. A fiat collar buttons
high over the usual stock at front and
is stitched to waist at lower edge, end
ing in dovetail points at top Of front
box plait. Pearl buttons fasten front
and cuffs. The belt is a narrow strap
of white leather A petticoat to be
worn with any of these dresses should
come to the middle of the hem, other
wise, when the wearer stands with the
sunlight behind her, a discrepancy is
most apparent. The fad for hatless
rides and walks is on the wane and
in its stead the lingerie hat reigns su-
preme. Most becoming, too, are these
dainty bits of headgear, when the edge
of brim and crown are finished with
a frilE of lace, and with white or pale
pink ribbon tied around the crown in
wide loOped bow at front, and two lit
tie roses tucked away under the brim
towards the back in color to match
the effect is charmingly youthful. Eas-
lily made, they are, too, only a wire
frame, wide brimmed with low small
crown and some mOusseline to be shir-
red at each wire around; either with
a tuck or plain, and this any clever girl
can surely do.

according to the postal officials, vic
tins of Thompson's scheme. Thomp-
son was arraigned before Commission
er Humphrey and held in $1,000 bonds
for hearing on February IS.
"Thompson's latest scheme was on
the endless chain plan," said Inspec-
tor Stuart last night. after a wom-
an would write to him and express
her willingness to copy letters at 30
cents each he would cause her to send
so cents for membership in the
bureau Instead of allowing the
woman to go to work Thompson
would then require them to get a
friend to send so cents for member
ship, and would promise to give 80
cents for each member thus secured"
Some of the titles used by Thomp-
son in carrying on the scheme were:
Women's Cooperative Club; Woman's
Industrial Bureau; Amazon Advertis-
| ing Agency; Occidental Wholesale
