handsome enough to warrant being made
up deliberately or extensively.
The embroidered lace Is put In a wide
band around the neck and down the fronts
and outlines the long sleeves. This makes
very effective trimming, and the width
can be determined upon by what Is becom-
ing and effective. Naturally, If a woman
is tail enough to wear elaborate clothes
broad trimming looks the best, but narrow
trimming is always effective and, as rule,
more becoming. All these details must

and in these days of reckless extravaganza
it is always well to make note of a fashion
that has to do with anything that savors
of economy.
For the most elaborate style of evening
wrap there are chiffon, lace and satin
cloaks that are exactly like the velvet
opera cloaks that were fashionable last
year, except that the fitted yoke from which
fell the loose fronts of the material is no
longer in fashion. The folds fall loose from
the shoulders-that is, from the shoulder
seams-and not from the close-fitting
yoke or bolero. Boleros of lace and

Cucumbers Served In Many Ways.

Economical Cucumber Soup.-Peel one
large cucumber. cut 1t in inch lengths and
boil 1t in sailed water for three-quarters of
an hour. Strain off the water and pass the
cucumber through a sieve. Take pint of
white stock made from veal bones or
chicken carcass and add to this a pint of
milk and the cucumber puiee. Put the
soup In a saucepan, season 1t with pepper
salt and pounded mace. add piece of but

more effective In white. however. there is
such variety of materials to be made use

These wraps are made they were last
year-in loose coats and long cloaks trim

In white, or with bands of Persian embroid-
cry, but in the more simple designs they are
trimmed with fancy braid of different
widths. A lining of thin silk is thought
more appropriate for summer than satin,
but when strict economy has to be consult
ed very lightweight wrap cannot be in
dulged in. and satin is chosen as lining be-
cause 1t gives more weight and warmth at
the same time.
The heavy embroidery in cutwork effect
and the heavy laces are excellent trim

heavier designs that look especially we'll

A Curious Custom.

In some parts of the Tyrol a beautiful
though curious custom prevails
When a girl is-going TO be married and
just before she leaves for the church her
mother gives her a handkerchief which Ia
called tearkerchief. 1t is made of newly
spun and unused linen, and with 1t the girl
dries the natural tears she sheds on leav-
ing home.
The tearkerchief is never used after tho
marriage day. but is folded up and placed
in the linen closet, where 1t remains till
its owners death. when II is taken from
its place and spread over her dead face.

flowers: Thou waitest late and com st
alone. when grass Is pale and birds have
flown"
Numerous as have been the lovers of the
rose among all men in all countries. 1t Is
asserted by ancient lore and legend that
the most faithful of all has been the night
ingale. The Persian poet Altar tells that
once all the birds appeared before Solomon
and complained that they were unable to
sleep because of the night songs of the
nightingale. When questioned then con-
corning the story's truth the nightingale
answered that 1t was his love for the rose
which caused his nightly waiting. Lord
Byron. Thackeray and Mrs. Browning all
make poetical aluson to this birds pas
sion for the rose. Moore besides, in his
''Lalla Rookh." asks:
+ ~ Though rich the spot
With every flower this earth has got,
49, What is 1t to the nightingale
If there his darling Is not?''

itations are never satisfactory.

ldClOflS are never satisfactory.
AS a wrap for midsummer there is moth
ing daintier or prettier than white silk and
lace combined. Without any lining, this Is
in truth what the name implies-merely a
wrap. 1t is only intended for wear in the
very hottest of weather and with the thin
nest of gowns, but it is indescribably smart
and most becoming. Irish lace and all the
heavier kinds of lace are used with the thin
silk, and the style Of wrap is the same as
in other materials-the long. loose coat or
the mantle.
The short, loose coats and the short man
ties are also extremely fashionable in these
materials made in elaborate styles so far
as the lace is concerned. To say there Is no
lining Is perhaps too sweeping statement
for many of the wraps are made with thin
silk or chiffon lining, so that the pattern of
the lace shows to advantage, and, at the
same time, If 1t is worn over a low-neck
gown. there Is some little protection. Most
elaborate in construction and requiring the
finest of work. these garments are at

Wells and Red Noses.

A German doctor. who had given much
time to the study of persistent redness OF
the tip of the nose. gives out the statement
that 1t Is due to the use of a veil. This
authority found that the redness was most
marked when the veil rested closely against
the nose. When the veil was abandoned the
redness in most cases disappeared. Al
though wells are seemingly soft to the
touch, the threads soon become roughened
and irrtate the sensitive skin.

THE DlFFERENTIAL CASE
Arguments Begun Before the Inter
state Commerce Commission.

Arguments Begun Before the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Washington. April 4. - Arguments
were begun before the interstate COM
merce commission in what is popularity
known as the differential case" one
of the most important matters the
commission has ever had before Il. The
case involves the matter Of differential
inland freight rates to and from North
Atlantic ports. II Is more than 80
years since an adjustment was reached
by which the rates to New York we're
made the basis OF those to the other
ports, Boston being charged the New
York rate. Philadelphia being allowed
a rate Of two cents per 100 pounds
lower than New York, and Baltimore
a rate three cents lower. Norfolk and
Newport News have been given the
same rates as Baltimore. These differ
entails have been the subject of re-
peated controversies, and demands for
their modification or discontinuance
have caused legal contests between
rival ports and the transportation
lines serving them. and at times have
resulted in rate wars between transpor.
tation lines In some form the case has
been pending almost continuously fol
a number Of years.

THE PRESIDENT
WESTERN TRIP
Cheered By Crowds in Ohio,
Kentucky Indiana and

SPOKE THREE TIMES EN- ROUTE

St Louis, April 5.-President Roose-
velt and party passed through Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, and
after spending an hour and half In
this city, left here for the southwest
over the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railway. The most notable reception
of the day was at Louisville. Ky,
where the president spent two hours.
From Louisville TO st. Louis the
train slackened down at dozen or
more towns, and at most Of these great
crowds were at the depot cheering as
long as the train was in sight The
president made three speeches enroute.
They were at Milltown, Ind; Hunting
burg, Ind, and Mount Vernon, Ill. At
East Junction, near Princeton, Ind,
where a change Of engines was made,
the president jumped down from the
rear platform Of the train to shake
hands with number of employees Of
the railway shops there. The train ran
through Princeton slowly to give the
president an opportunity to hastily re-
view several hundred school children
who had been assembled near the rail-
road tracks.
At Huntingburg. Ind, the president
said:
Gentlemen and Ladies-It is a great
pleasure TO catch this glimpse OF you
and greet you on my way down to the
reunion of my old regiment at San
Antonio, Texas. There is one thing ]
am always impressed with in goine
through this country. and that Is that
down at bottom, east or west. north ol
south. wherever you met the average
American. he is pretty good Ameri.
can. (Cheers and applause.) In greeting
all of you / want to say that while
am particularly glad to see the mel
and the women, I think / am ever
more glad to see the children. thinl
the American stock is a middling goo,
one, and / do not want to see il dii
out. / see here men who wear thl
button that shows that they fought il
the great war. They have left US
legacy, not only of how to do our dut,
in war, but in peace. Let us of tn
younger generation try to keep ul
/ their standard" Cheers and ap
plause.)
At s o'clock the train passed dow
the steep incline at the Missouri en-
of the Merchants bridge, and as 500
as the assembled crowds discerned It +

VETOED BY GOV. PeNNYPAcKER
Bill to Prevent Killing Of Diseased
Calves and Pension Bill Disapproved.

Bill to Prevent Killing Of Diseased
Calves and Pension Bill DlsapproVed.
Harrisburg, Pa, April 8. - Governor
Pennypacker vetoed the bill to prevent
the killing of calves that are diseased
or are under four weeks Of age and the
selling of their flesh as food. The gov
ernor says that it is to be regretted
that this bill cannot be approved,
since the subject is a very proper one
for legislation. Unfortunately" he
adds. there has been a want of care
in the preparation Of the bill, and this
want of care is the greater for the
reason that the difficulty which arises
was clearly pointed out in a message
disapproving a like bill two years ago. "
The governor also disapproved the
bill granting an annuity to J. H. Per-
shing. He suggests that il pensions are
to be granted for services rendered dur
ing the Civil War. it ought to be done
by a general act and not by special
legislation.
