Throughout his illness, while his

events of the past, from his childhood

been carefully watched and tended by
Neneto and his rva Matteo. AS he

listened to the rawlings Of a mind
haunted by the recollections of a ter

prison cell. 1t was only when reason

lowed to enter his room and sit by his
bedside.
However. she felt some satisfaction,
some outlet for her tenderness toward
him, in sitting watchfully by while he

prepared, or in talking or reading to
him.

heavy thunderstorm came up. She was
impatient to be off, but averse to facing
a deluge. One of the commissioners
gave a guard a dollar to summon = ye-

an hour the guard returned with a
Red Cross ambulance. The delegate
demurred, but the guard assured her
that she only had to pretend to be a
little sick" and the thing was done.
Entering into the joke, she descend

sympathetic friend. AS the guard care

cushions he managed to whisper that
she would be obliged to go to the hos

few moments, as the ambulance was
obllged TO report every passenger there

mashed through her mind. Suppose
they should imagine she had something
terrible the matter with her and insist
upon an operation? Such mistakes had
been made before.

The shirt Waist FrOck.
The shirt waist frock is a matter
much more easily disposed of, for new
er We're shirt-waist frocks more plenti-
full. Among the shop models good
linen and canvas styles have the upper
part of the skirt matching the pleats
or tucks of the waist Sometimes there
is a heavy lace set in the waist, or a
little braid may be used but the most
desirable models show next to no trim
ming on the skirt.
Some coarse blue linens display on
the bodice a very effective treatment
in white French knots, mingled with
narrow braids in several widths. In a
brown frock a huge oval or disk of
trimming may appear only on the hips
of the skirt, the shoulders of the
waists are always made to look as long
as possible.
This lengthening is carried very far
on the silk frocks. which are never
theless delightful. A deep shirring Of
ten accomplishes it, running far down
over the sleeve tops and fitting the up
per part of the skirt. The pulled
sleeves of such gowns are huge, the
bodice blouses all round, and the skirt
escapes the ground by several inches.

What a Woman Should Wear
To the ST. Louis t air
Shirt ocks Are Needed Dresy That Will Do for Both
Afternoon and Evening.

These gowns weigh next to nothing,
and are therefore admirably suited to
midsummer wear. Their prices vary
enormously. They are largely fash
toned of changeable silk in blues,
browns and greens, the checked silks,
which are so frequently trimmed with
solid pipings, taking other forms.
The Dinner Toilette.
For the woman to whom a change
of toilette for dinner is as necessary
as the meal itself, a dressy costume
is an imperative need. In all likeli-
hood a woman will meet her friends
at the fair, so she viii do wisely to
provide herself with dress which,
with a slight change of accessories,
will serve for both afternoon and
evening.
In this particular it is possible to
be easily and quickly suited. Fancy
costumes are much more readily found
than severer styles. Two materials
stand out above all others for the fair
dress frock-silk and yelling.

With a woman everything comes
round to the great question Of

the opening Of the st. Louis Fair. What

1t is easy enough for the dame or

that she will simply wear her usual

needs. But the tourist sightseer-if she
be sensible-must consider two things.
space and time. She must have only
as many garments as will comfortably

not waste precious moments in too
many changes Of costume.
A dressmaker who makes a specially

Ready-tO-BlOOm
Gardens in Vogue

This is just the season when many
a woman wakes to a realization that
she wants a garden-that she wanted
one all spring. but somehow has for
gotten such trif1es as enriched earth,
seed and planting. She looks with
envy at the wiser virgin next door
who has tidy array of sprouting
plants, all marked with little wooden
pegs and laid out in orderly and much
scratched beds. So the would-be hor-
ticulturist HES her to the nearest flo
rist. and the florist is prepared with
ready-to-bloom gardens.
The newest in porch decorations is
the Japanese garden, and it will grow
with an equal alacrity indoors, in the
living room. In fact, it thrives best
in dim light and shaded corners.
The foundation is an oblong recep-
tacle of pure white thing, eighteen
inches long by twelve wide, and per-
haps three or four inches high. On
one side is a reproduction of pebbly
beach, with tiny boats drawn up on it,
Through the center, from end to end,
runs an irregular elevation of earth
overgrown with delicate moss, which
runs down the slope on the other side
to the edge of the box. Dotted at in
tervals along the elevation are minia-
ture japanese trees, Towering fern,
plain green ferns, a couple of exqui-
sitely carved storks and a little Japa-
nese house no higher than two inches,
but a perfect bit of wood carving. The
whole is like a bit of Japan in min
iature.

the porch garden is a real comfort
Porch boxes are no longer stationary,
but are made of light materials, such
as tin or zinc case or deep pan, set in
mating frame with bamboo handles.
The bottom is perforated and the tin
Inning protects the covering of mat
ting. The bamboo poles for carving
the basket are crossed on the ends, in
imitation of the cross pieces placed
on the shoulders of Chinese coolies.
Another style of porch box, made
from light pine wood, painted dull
green with a scroll design in gold, has
square back and end pieces, but the
front is formed of two pieces, which
comes together in a V shape, thus Civ
ing the box triangular effect from the
front and admitting of a picturesque
graduation of the blooming plants. These

For single porch plants the newest
receptacle is a tall basket made from
Cuban moss, which looks for all the
world like green sponge. 1t is ad-
mirable for holding moisture, and COM
bines well with nearly all color
schemes employed in porches Hang
ing baskets also come in this Cuban
moss, and, If filled with ferns, look like
great fern balls.
For all stationary boxes a favorite
covering is birch bark, and all the new
hanging baskets are made in a coarse
mesh, of wire or rush. so that vines
may grow out through the crevices.

lohelia are favorites. Fuchsia, geran-
