WILDER AT HOME.
Santa Fe Treasurer Returns
Improved in Health.
Soiourn in Arizona Not All Play

Unpacks Own Trunks Without
Being Tired.
Says It Seems as IF He Left
Only Yesterday.

Edward Wilder, treasurer of the Atch~
ison. Topeka and Santa Re railroad. is
at home today from Tucson, Arizona.
where he has been for nearly seven
months for his health.
Mr.. Wilder comes home much i'm
proved and hs5 tanned face and hands

been recuperating. Today Mr. Wilder
has been unpacking his trunks. and a
reporter for the State Journal found
him in the midst of this occupation.

am doing today. before went to Arf-
zona," Mr.. Wilder said My stay in
that country was far from being a
pleasure trip, but the benefits derived
are well worth the time spent there.
But want to say that if anyone has
the impression that a trip to Arizona is
one full of pleasure and something to
be sought to get away from work, I
can disabuse his mind on that score
However. Tucson is a very pretty
little city and some very fine people
1--we there. It is situated in a fertile
valley, and I suppose there are many
more automobiles in proportion to pop
ulatlon than there are in Topeka.
The people are we'll educated and
refined, and altogether it is very
progressive up-to-date city. But at the
same time found it very dull sitting
around the hotel day after day with
nothing particular to do but drive oc-
casionally and spend the remainder of
| the time thinking with no particularly
engrOSsing subject to think about. I
had great deal of mail from Topeka
and elsewhere that occupied some of
my time and it was indeed a great re-
lief to have this work.
Mr.. Wilder went to Arizona for a
bronchial trouble rather than for
lung trouble. He had cough which
seemed to grow out of a case of. grip
which settled in his throat about
three years ago. This he let go rn-
cared for till it began to tell upon him.
Last fall before he went to Arizona he
was SO weak that it tired him consid-
erably to walk upstairs to the second
floor of his residence.

Mr.. Wilder returned to Topeka Sat
urdaye but he has not taken up his
work at his desk in the Santa Fe Of

tomorrow morning, however, and will
take I'D his work personally here
after.
when I went away last fall with
the prospect of from six months to q
year to stay in Arizona, it seemed a
long time to be away from Topeka.

the wiser. But a plain frock, on the
contrary, demands intricate fastenings,
severity of outline and finish that

than that. to appear simply dressed
ones hat, petticoat and gloves must

some consideration while planning out

A friend of mine is notoriously badly
dressed, and yet she spends a fortune
on her wardrobe. She finally put her
self in the hands OF a very expensive
Fifth avenue modiste. who, after
charging her a neat little sumo for the
experience, proceeded to pick from her
gowns about a quart of tassels. bows,
frills and applications, after which she
made her a white princess dress abso-
lutely plain rom neck to toes, with the
exception of a few insertions of valen-
eiennes-and she charged her $3.50 for
the fit.
But it was worth it. When she
emerged robed in the plain one piece
gown her friends did not recognize her,
she had such a well dressed air. The
gown lasted three years. too. without a
single thing being renewed. If people
would only realize that a bit OF hand

the woman who objects to sewing a
little for herself and feels herself very
much abused because she cannot afford
to give everything to the dressmaker
ought to read about how women in the
slums work every day in the seven on
coarse materials, and not for them
selves either. They earn the enormous
sum OF s1.25 a week. Those are the
contrasts that make US more satisfied
with our own lot. So when you have
been sewing all day and feel tired cut
just forget your troubles and put on a
cheerful smile for your husband when
he comes home. Be grateful that you
have the home and the love and the
pretty materials to work with instead
OF the grinding necessity that drives so
many poor women's needles during the
hottest days of summer as well as the
coolest in winter.

dresses-with anything; it Is always
smart.
In making up your wardrobe you
should count in a white dress for sum
Tner mornings. There are very smart
robes of white Persian lawn trimmed
with bands of embroidery in Powered
designs. also giving you enough of the
band embroidery and material to make
the waist.
Everything seems ito be band trim
ming this year. I even saw a casino
frock which had a Dutch neck trimmed
with heavily embroidered lavender
bands. thee cuffs of the sleeves being of
the same.
A princess slip is one of the most
useful adjuncts of a summer wardrobe,
especially in pale blue, for a number of
white gowns may be worn over it, and
these are easily made without lining.
In general it is well to remark that
the woman who has little to spend
would best stick to tailor made styles
in linens and street dresses. If she
does this she viii always appear well
dressed.
Have you considered the possibilities
of the new chiffon wolfe? In white it
closely resembles batiste, but its great
advantage is that it may be worn both
summer and winter. Unlike the ordi-
nary voile, 1t is supple.

Can anything be worse than a .wo-

ford only one suit. for goodness sake,
buy the simple tailor made and wear
that both for dress up" and in the

costume which counts even more than
her evening clothes. Remember that
if you wish to have a reputation as a
