The Summer Girls Dress.

In 1906 Summer girls will be frocked
in frills and furbelows delightfully."-
feminine, writes Helen Berkely-Loyd
in The Delineator for July. From
parasol to boot tip, curves, dainty
touches, and artistic color effects will
distinguish everything they wear.
Their elders. too, make a generous
use of color. They are permitting it
to appear in their tweed trotteurs and
motor coats, and their afternoon and
dinner gowns of light, silken fabrics,
are as often of the new mauve-blne
and the warm American Beauty
shades as of white or the always
charming pastel tints.
The semi-tailored gowns, man-made
though they are, emphasize feminine
curves in a marked degree, and show
the most graceful effects. The bolero
is seen on a great many of these gowns,
the shorter ones having ceinture at
tached that is entirely new.
The sleeves, as rule, are puffs to
the elbow, or halfway to the wrist.
They are finished with a velvet-inlaid
cuff that flares considerably.
Among the little accessories that
the Summer girl is wearing, are
bracelets of black velvet held with
jewelled buckles, and wisps of tulle
twisted about the upper arm and the
wrist, tied in fluffy bows. Arm or
glove carriers of satin ribbon, shirred
over elastic and edged with frills of
lace and ribobn are quite new, and
as practical as they are ornamental.

WASHINGTON CHAT

There were many exciting moments
during the closing hours of Congress
but probably no incident created more
CONSERVATION than the disclosure That
the appropriation of So, 900, 900 for the
purchase of the site for the pro-
posed new department buildings had
got into the sundry civil bill after
it had been stricken out Of the public
buildings bill. This startling discov-
cry was made by Secretary Root after
the bill had been signed by the presi-
dent and had become law. No one
seemed to know who inserted the pro-
vision in the sundry civil bill, but
the news that it was there spread like
wiidfre from one end of the Capitol
to the other. AS soon as Speaker
Cannon heard about it he called q few
of his trusty aids and to them he ut
tered few remarks that almost burnt
hole in the paper of the Congress
sional Record. While they hurried
about the House the exitement in the
Senate started. Although every
Senator was sweltering from the hot
weather and pretty much exhausted
from the strain of work, they all made
plain the fact that they were in no
humor to be trifed with.
The only way out of the muddle
was to repeal that section of the bill
containing the Objectionable appro-
priation. No one had time to inquire
who placed it in the bill. The thing
to do was to get it out. So a Joint
resolution was quickly put together
and passed by the House, after which
1t was rushed over to the Senate where
it was promptly agreed to. The
country had been saved three millions
of dollars, for time at least, and all
this was due to the watchful eye of the
Secretary of State.
Shall Washington become a COM
mercial and manufacturing centre or
shall it remain a strictly residential
city? These are two questions agitat-
ing the taxpayers of the National
Capital, who are divided into factions
on the subject. One side argues that
Washington should be like Paris-a
residential and manufacturing city
combined. The other faction claims
that manufacturing plants would mar
the beauty of Washington by the plac-
ing of unsightly factory buildings,
destroy the fine streets by heavy trucks
and wagons, and change the whiteness
Of the public buildings by smoke and
soot.,
Even with the strict smoke law now
in force, the many beautiful stone
buildings are becoming blacker each
year from the smoke OF the necessary
Illuminating plants and the few
manufacturing places already located

Chafng Dish Aprons.

Have you seen the dainty aprons for
chafing dish parties in the heart
shaped pattern? Cut large heart of
Powered dimity or dotted swiss, roll
the edges and trim with a rufle of
Valenciennes lace, leaving about ten
inches at the round part of the heart
untrimmed. This is slightly gathered,
and the strings are sewed to it, the
point Of the heart forming the bot
tom of the apron. Cut a heart of
smaller size for the bib, which is also
rolled and trimmed with lace, and
tiny heart for the pocket, which is
finished in the same way, but with
narrow lace. The bib is sewed over
the strings with the point at the bot
tom, and the little pocket on the left
side of the large heart. The effect is
50 pretty when finished that I am sure
it will please.

principal argument used by those who
wish to preserve the beauty of the
Capital, to show what would be the
result if other plants were granted
concessions to locate in Washington.
However, those who want to hear the
whir of machinery and see the belch-
ing of smoke from tall chimneys are
losing no time in doing all they can
to make Washington a manufacturing
city.

ONLY A DROP
In the Bucket Are the Donations Re-

Announced.

Toxic. Mar 23.-Donations amount
ing to several thousand dollars were
received here to be applied to reliev-
ing distress in the famine stricken
districts but, while the amount was
very welcome to those having the re-
lief work in charge, it was but a
drop in the bucket and more aid is
urgently needed. Missionaries who
have recently toured the stricken dis
tricts and who arrived in this city
lately declare that the distress of the
peasants is pitiful and that the relief
work is progressing so slowly that
many of those who are in need are
likely to die from starvation. Ac-
cording to Rev. DR.. Samuels, of the
Presbyterian church. there are not
less than half a million people who
are in want and who. unless aid is
extended from abroad must perish
with hunger In many districts the
crops have all been consumed and
there is nothing for the men, women
and children until the next harvest
time, late this coming summer.

R, A, M'CURDY SUED
WASTE OF LARGE
SUMS Of MONEY

New York, March 23.-Complaint in
the civil action of the Mutual Life In
surance company against its former
president, Richard A. McCurdy, was
served today, the plaintiffs demanding
judgment in the sum of $3,370,341,
with interest, as damages for his "un-
faithfulness and neglect"
This complaint is one of eight ac-
tions begun against the McCurdys and
A. H. Raymond & Co., the Mutuafs
metropolitan agents.
The complaint which has been serv-
ed in action number ! against Richard
A. McCurdy contains 9 separate caus-
es Of action, each one of which
charges McCurdy with the waste OF
large sums of money belonging to the
plaintiff through alleged unfaithful-
ness and neglect in the discharge of
his duty as the company's president
One of the causes of action is to re-
cover from Mr.. McCurdy the sum of
1925, 5,000 embracing the $4,000 alleg-
ed increase of annual salary drawn
by the ex-president, since June l, 1901,
without authority, as it is claimed and
under circumstances detailed in the
testimony before the Armstrong COM
mittee.

ON HARRIS
And Republicans Would State Duties
Fall in Case of Death of Gov
ernor Pattison-Would
Mean Confusion.

Cleveland, O., Mar. 23.-Tne death
drew L. Harris, lieutenant governor
a Republican, governor. Pattison was
the only Democrat elected on the state
ticket last fall. Harris would assume
the rein of government without cere-
mony and would appoint lieuten-
ant governor. Pattison's death would
also wrest the control of the state
from the Democrats and would give
the Republican governor the benefit
ton in a condition that would re-
quire some time for the Strengthening
out of affairs. The illness of the
governor all through the session has
delayed matters already and the ses-
sion was more than a month old be-
fore a single bill became law.
There are number Of important
measures still hanging in the Senate
and the House, among others the in
surance bills, the pure election bills
and the bill extending the terms of
the state and county officials accord
of the patronage from the various in
StltullUHS III WHICH hGpuDllCdlIS SUN
retain nearly all the positions. Gov
ernor Pattison's Illness has prevented
him from ousting these Republican
office-holders and naming Democrats
in their stead.
Another effort would be to prolong
indefinitely the session of the gener-
al assembly. 1t was expected that
the gavel would fall not later than
April End, but the confusion following
Pattison's death would place legisla-
ing to the provisions of the biennial
election amendment adopted by the
people last year, the rehabilitation
Of the school and the municipal code,
the pending bills wibing out of the bu-
reau of public accounting and boards
of review.
With the death of the governor, the
future is uncertain. The Democrats
will still have their slender majority
in the Senate and the Republicans
will have an advantage in the House
on purely partisan lines.
