Saving Touch of Color

Speaking of color notes. here is a bit
of a suggestion worth remembering.
When the summer girl puts on her gray
or linen-colored pongee shirt waist suit
and sees in her mirror that she looks
all one coior-hair, skin and eyes-let her
not get discouraged. for she can quick
ly transform her appearance by adding
bright dash OF color. The brilliant
color note may be introduced in a hat.

thrusting through her belt a scarlet
flower.

CONTROL OF HOT SPRINGS.
Recommendation of the Reservation
Superiutendent

The annual report of the superintendent
of the Arkansas Hot Springs reservat on
was made public today. In his report tho
superintendent recommends direct govern
ment control of the springs there. He
says:
Experience has demonstrated that the
present system of operating the baths
through the medium Of private lessees is
in conflict with public opinion and incom-
patible with local conditions. and that the
government should, as soon practicable.
consistent with existing conditions, assume
absolute and complete control OF this reser-
walton and operate the, bathing interests
under government supervision and control,
thereby eliminating the spirit OF CONNER
c:alism which is manifest under present
conditions and. through scientific equip
ment. perfection OF system. order. disci-
pline and intelligent direction, extend the
benefits to be derived from the healing
waters with rates adjusted TO cover pru-
dent expenses and necessary improve
ments. The present system. If 1t ever had
any meritorious features worthy OF con-
sideration, has outlived its usefulness and
should be supplanted by full government
control in the management. operation ana

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, October 23-The task of de-
signing and making the whole of the Prin-
cess Of Wales tailor-made dresses for her
visit to India was a great one. By the
special desire OF the princess only British
materials were used. and these were select
ed with the greatest care. The silk Innings
were specially made to suit the Indian cli-
mate. a necessary precaution. as silk is
liable to perish in hot countries.

dresses was one Of soft vicuna cloth In

collar and turned-back cuffs of green
stitched cloth outlined with a simple but
very effective braiding, the only other
serge was made with a Russian blouse.

Union Suits

The average man who tried to
wear Union Suit and was dissatis
fed with it, and preferred the two
piece suit (that is, separate shirt and
drawers), means simply this-he did

make, the right size, the right shape
or the right fit. Once these require
ments are properly met, the man SO
suited rarely, if ever, goes back to
the two-piece kind. They are I'M
