SOME SUMMER FASHIONS.
What the Shops Are Showing in APP
proved Styles of the Moment and
What Can Be Copied at Home.

An extremely attractive dress of nat.
ural colored linen was seen at one OF the
shops this week. 1t had the usual plait-
ed skirt and had blouse with deep
round yoke, which was embroidered
with sprays of white wheat. There was
a great deal of the embroidery, and the
yoke was bordered at the collarless
neck, and also where il joined the blouse,
with conventional design in white. A
broad fold of the linen in the front of the
gown was embroidered with wheat
sprays, as were the full sleeves. The
sleeves were gathered into a high cuff,
fastened on the outside with white linen
buttons and loops The belt was en-
broidered in the conventional design
used in the yoke border.
Very simple gowns of handkerchief
linen, very fine and sheer, are embroid-
cred freely on both skirt and waist Such
gowns are especially recommended for
elderly women.
Five out of ten of the summer gowns
already seen are made with guimpes or
chemisettes; and the shops are showing
tempting little handmade null and thin
linen affairs, laced and embroidered. In
genious fingers should be able to make
very pretty guimpes at home, especially
if one be purchased for model
The French blouses buttoned in the
back and more or less elaborate are
bound to be popular this year, as they
were last. If the entirely handmade
variety, inset with real lace and trimmed
with all kinds of needlework, is too ex-
pensive for people of ordinary income,
there are numbers of machine-made
waists on the same models which are
very well worth wearing. Sometimes
these waists show enough hand work to
rid them entirely of clumsy or SLOPPY
appearance. They come in fine muslins.
lawns and mulls, which are second only
to handkerchief linen in popularity.

negroes who blindly obeyed the orders
of Strikebreaker Curry. A man who
was fixing the cement sidewalk drew
near to the automobilist.
"They do be sayin' that this Curry,
the strike-breaker, will have Farley
wild him tomorrow, mister. I'd hate
to be teamster in the procession"
'My good fellow, a strike-breaker
can sleep ten hours night, like you
do, perhaps" was the reply of the
man in the auto-one of the merchant
princes whose word in the Employers
association was law.
And the wonder is that strike
breaker of prominence can find room
in which he feels secure enough to
drop into slumber

Then the presence of troops would

Curry was asked.

Defies Death for Gain.
It's mcney-only money that Curry
is working for. He nonchalantly tells
you that. eff the strike lasts 80 days,
said Curry. as he dropped some medi
cine into his inflamed eye from the
blade of knife-disdainin to use the
little rubber syringe that his doctor
has left for him-"I'll slip out of the
city 100000 richer than l was when
came H."
But haven't you any animosity-
isn't there some of that hatred that
the correspondents have written about
that impels you to fight unions?" Curry
was asked.

is reported to have said.
Brains VS.. Drawn.
Considerable brute strength was an
asset used by Curry in the street car
strike. Farley used his brains more
and directed brute strength along lines
of least resistance. The strategy of
the Pittsburg Office went into effect
wherever Farley strung his ''live
wires" without hitch. Curry, after
all, was a strike-breaker who needed
a general manager or superintendent
to help plan for the trips.
Then there was the ice wagon driv-
ers' strike in st, Louis, Farley did not
aspire to breaking" that.' Maybe he
was not asked to help. But Curry

the statement you will hear from the
strike breaker when he lines up his men
for the first duty.
Farley the Mysterious.
"Farley's here-he will have 1000
negroes at his back and Chicago's
business will be resumed" was the
message that went through the room
where were gathered the chiefs of the
teamsters' joint council. The name
Farley was one to conjure with on the
streets. A people who had no knowl-
edge of Farley except what was gained
from the press wondered if Farley
wore coat of mail, slept with his
head on q Winchester and had body
guard of cowboys.
Yes, Farley was there. We saw him
we who were watching for the man
whom the millionaire merchants eX-
pected to help them out of their stag
nation. But the Farley who came into
strike-ridden Chicago unannounced
incognito and almost dragging himself
into his hotel room was not the in
trepid Farley who had put his horny
fist into the hand of the executive
head of New Yorks marlborough ant
promised with the grasp of friendship
to break the strike of $500 employees
inside of 40 hours.
Leader Broken in Health.

the situation three hours after view
ing it. Plenty of good police-a chief
who knows the department will do as
it is told-union men who have a rev.
erence for the law that Chicago team
sters do not possess he said to
the millionaire leaders who conferred
with him: cts a cinch."
In that strike Curry coined an ex-
preston that only one man heard
1t was: Negroes have blood,
nerves and desire to work I'll
fight to put them at par with the
same stocks of the white men," And
it was Curry who saw in his throngs
of big, loose-jointed, silent, powerful,
though not altogether clearly, colored
recruits from St. Louis and the south
force that could break the warfare
that International President G. P.
Shea, of the Transfers brotherhood,
had precipitated in Chicago.
How Curry Defied Strikers.
The first thing that Curry did when
put in command in Chicago was to
march 300 colored strike breakers
through crowded streets to teach
them the lay of the land" 1t was only
a picnic for Curry. The marchers
were tired and footsore. Not so with
Curry. A call went out: 1--WE have
lost a wagon Who will find it? 1t
has a federal injunction placard on it,
but that means some one will lead
the mob to make kindling-wood of ii"
Its a cinch," came the familiar re-
mark of Curry. Step out here, you
fellows. Follow me-"
Policemen never lodged the show
ers of missiles that were directed at
Curry and his band. Time for grim
joke even by Curry. "They are not
trying to curry favor but curry Curry,
said the strike-breaker. He found the
wagon.
Wealth His Reward.
Will Strikebreaker Curry ever get
into the Union League club for fare
well dinner when his work is over?
No. The forces Of the executive COM
mittee of the Employers association
that were instrumental in enlistine
Curry for the perilous work speak
with the checkbook to such an en-
ploye. They regard him as soldier
of fortune. Curry will pass on tC
