Some Popular Linen Dresses

In England one can buy linen for
something like ten cents yard. 1t
costs five times that and more here,
many times more for very good-but 1t
is worn this season by everyone.
White comes first in favor, and
then may be mentioned the gobelin
blue, cream and tans, delft blue, navy
blue, green's and raspberry shades.
Linen should always be well shrunk
before it is made up, and if the shrink
ing is done at home this is the plan
to follow: Pour boiling water on the
goods, let stand until cool, hang up
carefully, the material pulled into
shape, and iron when still very damp.
This will insure against further
shrinking, and the ironing while wet
brings out the gloss that makes linen
so attractive. In making, have the
pressing well done; tailor look is
the proper thing for the linen suit.
Some of the better sort, perhaps we
may say the majority, are made with
no trimming save straps of self ma
terial A few very good ones are
trimmed with heavy open work, have
elbow sleeves with turn-back cuff, and
girdles of silk instead of the belt of
linen or some wash trimming. These
are for linen costumes, thougS. the
coat suits are more severe.
Some of the linen dresses have only
cuffs and collars of openwork embroi-
derry. and occasionally heavy Irisk
crochet is used. There is quite lik-
ing for collar and cuffs Of contrasting
color; this is a feature of the present
season. Skirts are short, but there is not
noticeable the rise in the back as last
year If the skirt escapes the ground
an inch in the front, it will be elevated
only an inch and half in the back
now.
Coats for linen suits are made semi
fitting in the back, square box front
is adorned with large pearl but
tons. The sleeves, very full at the
shoulders, are large and have plain
stitched cuffs. Skirts are not so
volumous as they promised to be. fit
close about the hips and the flare,
though considerable, is not exagger-
ated.
For summer travelling. there will be

SUMMER GIRLS.

again, for which we may be thankful
we need not get our hats scraped
off now when a friend CALAMITY
essays to save us the fatigue of car
rying the sunshade Wash gloves have
ousted all others; mits and fingered
''handshuhe" are worn. 1t is the best
to have the gloves and stockings
match the costume rather than con-
trast, and one should be very careful
to get right shades. Sometimes the
girl behind the counter will inform
you in Indifferent manner that 1t is
impossible to get certain shades in
silk gloves, but a little searching at
the better stores will reward you with
rainbow array from which to make
selection. The dealers are supplied
with hose and gloves in every imagin-
able tone.
\ There are shown pretty shoes OF
black patent leather with white up
pers. Bits of white on the shoes are
a novelty recently introduced, and are
quite an addition to the sober black to
which we are accustomed. Canvas
CATERS are an excellent novelty, the
old time wooden CATERS were entirely
too heating. There is many cool
day when the low shoe is trifie too
cool, and the canvas "spat" will come
in well.
Underclothes deserve word, for
there is noticeable a decided change
in summer underwear. Everything is
made of softest material and there is
more simplicity of appearance; not so
much lace and insertion and beading,
but finer, less snowy work. Embroi-
derry in white, eyelets and scallops
in white, make these affairs cost
money, but the appearance is quite
simple AS a rule the lingerie waists
open in the back, and the opening Of
the corset cover necessarily should be
hidden The fullness at the back is
drawn down in small tucks.
Very pretty pongee petticoats are
offered for sale, the first cost that of a
good silk petticoat; but they make a
more economical investment. wash so
beautifully and wear so well. The
gray silk pongees are especially good.
And by the way, gray silk stockings
this year are lovely, in the many tones
Of gray that the season shows in Coz
tunes.

Lingerie waists blossom on every
tree, and. an infinite variety of them
there is. AS Dame Rumor says they
are to be worn until late in the fall,
it would be we'll for the ,far-sighted
maid to see that her stock is kept up.
How shall we begin to select and
describe when there are such num-
bers to choose from? Perhaps we had
better plunge in and bring forth what
we may. Here is one of finest dotted
swiss, the dots very small. 1t is made
with a round neck-the kind becom-
ing only to the happy maid with per-
feet throat and shoulders. 1t is sort
of baby waist, very simple, a few
gathers giving fullness in front, the
back plain. The sleeves are quite full
and extend just below the elbow, where
a deep frill of wide footing edged with
narrow lace flows softly over the arm.
The neck is finished with narrower
footing likewise lace edged. Simple as
can be, but if well cut and fitted very
effective.
Tucks have much place on the lin
gerie waist, and are very attractive in
summer, emphasizing the sheerress
of the materials. One waist had
wide strip of fine insertion down the
front, on either side were long rows
of tucks alternating with short clus
ters At the shoulder a deep under
plat gave the proper fullness, for the
waist set well over the bust. This
plat was discovered" some years ago,
but its value is still appreciated.
There is no end of lace waists, but
personally we prefer the thin materials
that are not so elaborate or ostenta
tious as the heavy and rich all-over
patterns-the plain materials infinite
ly preferable to cheap imitation laces.
Even the best of the all-oyers look
fussy rather than cool and fresh
We noticed cool-looking maid this
morning. A black silk skirt, a sheer
white lingerie waist, elbow sleeves and
long black silk gloves. The hat was a
white panama with China silk scarf
wound about it, the parasol long
handled affair of white pongee. She
could have worn this costume any
where of a summer day, provided it
was as fresh and crisp as when
saw it.
Handles of parasols are very long

HyHARLANEUGENE READ


TT all took place in the small room
next to the court room. Percy, be-
ing an enterprising young reporter, had
strayed into the ante-room in the hope
that he might pick up some informa-
ton before the court opened for the
day. He was addressed by person
behind him.
81 would like to see you and Mr..
Hopkins alone, sir Is he here?"
The speaker was short, fat-legged
gentleman, evidently one of the law
yers in the approaching case, who had
mistaken Percy for some one else. Here
was a great chance to get inside in
formation under false pretenses, so
he replied, non-committally: mo,
haven't seen him lately"
The little man glared angrily.

is outrageous!" He shook an official
looking document in his companions
face as though by that act he abjured
Mr.. Hopkins and his sort forever, and
then drew confidentially closer. Your
lawyer, sir, seems bent upon nothing
but to secure a large fee."
So Mr.. Hopkins was his lawyer, and
Percy himself was the hard-hearted
defendant! He rather enjoyed the sit
uation. 81 know no reason why he
should see me-" he said.
The lawyer, after putting and blow
ing for some time, wiped his perspir-
ing forehead with a large handker-
chief and smiled benignantly. 81 am

said, representing the plaintiff. can
not believe, sir, after what l have
heard of you, that you are the sort
of a man which your attitude in this
unfortunate case seems to imply
Percy admitted that he was not.
"You have been made victim" re-
sumed Mr.. Bowden deliberately, tap
ping his companion upon the breast,
"of a designing person-of a counsel
lor-at-law who worships Mammon. He
desires an exorbitant fee, sir"
Percy did not wish an injustice done
to the absent. you forget that you
have not explained yourself" he said.
True" answered his companion,
very thoughtfully rubbing a bald spot
on the top of his head; Every true.
But Mr.. Hopkins agreed to speak of
it, and I had forgotten that he did
not do so. To be brief sir, my client
is not actuated by any mercenary
motives in bringing this action for
breach of promise against you. She
still loves you, SIR"
Percy was visibly affected.
'She has money of her own. sir. as
you are aware; and has recently come
into possession of still larger amount
You cannot plead poverty either on
her side or yours as an excuse for
this-this-er-amatory rupture. Did
you not love her once?"
A direct answer to this question
would have been liable to involve the
young man in difficulties from which
he might not be able to extricate him
self; but he was too much interested
In the case to make confession of his
identity.
Il have never loved anyone else" he
answered.
This being considered equivalent 70
an acknowledgment, the lawyer for the
plaintiff closed the door between the
court room and the Little room in
which they stood. Then he turned
toward Percy with the air of one about

The state board of control is prepar-

exercised in accordance with the juv-

crease for the balance of the state,
which is considered conservative,
would make the total population, l.

Sixty-nine villages, ranging from
200 to $500 in population and covering
fifty-four counties in every section OF
the state, show an increase Of Ii per
