Il i or in the city, house that must
be made livable during torrtd
days, Is always a question.
Few Northerners can bring them

and keeping comfortable with absolute
ly bare floors. either of hardwood or
some ads sort of floor covering, but want It
TO be as cool and fresh-looking as pos
Eible.
Fortunately, this is now not hard to
manage We have effected a compro-
mise between naked boards and the old
Yankee method OF shrouding heavy car
pets with linen coverings in the belief
that It was cool Today We have UNI
carpeted floors and rugs, OF else mat
the monotony.
In rugs nothing quite takes the place
for summer use OF the light, dainty
chintz fabrics, in the new weave sug-
fects.
rhe coloring is light. as a rule-blue,
with white striped border; green, with
fiecks of pink, with deeper toned pink
across each end; pale yellow, blue and
pink, yellow and heliotrOpe, woven
without figures, with a broad border OF
greenish and white stripes dashed with
red.
One rug particularly striking is of
two tones of beige, with dull green fg-
ures scattered here and there, and a
green and white border, with touches OF
red. Another Is OF red, with a warm
fellow border touched up with Egyp-
tan designs, in green, red, yellow and
white. A third, as serviceable as IL was
effective, was of navy blue. dashed with
white, with a ten-inch border OF dag
onal stripes In dark and light green,
yellow, brown, white and red, the stripes
made harmonious by faint waving out
lines OF black.
In all these cotton rugs the borders, In
true rag carpet style, are woven only
across the ends. A light fringe usual
ly emphasizes the color effect.
The finish is both smooth and rough
the latter new this season. The rugs
wear well, and spots can easily be
washed from them. They can be bought
in any size or woven to suit any room.
There are also little rugs adapted TO
kitchen use, made according to Colonial
patterns, In plaids, or checks Of dark
reds and blues, reds and yellows, or
reds and green.
Next in popularity to the chintz rug
are those made Of fibre. which have
stood the test OF several seasons. This
paper pulp not only wears well. but In
this season added beauty or color ana
design may be adapted TO almost any
room in the house. The border runs en-
tirely around In the conventional rug
style; in addition, large and small ng-

ures are woven through the body OF the
material
Most Of our summer life is spent out
oi-doors, T.nd the rug for the veranda
has now become almost a necessity.
Probably the most popular, because
the cheapest porch rug is that Of closely
woven prairie grass The grass is in its
natural tone, the o-.y dye being in the
cotton warp. The cOIorings are good
dull greens, terra cottas, blues, reds and
yellows. sometimes woven plain, again
with side stripes of a contrasting hue.
This grass material also comes by the
yard and is used, instead of mating, for
Railways and stairs.
IL you have large porch, with hand
some wicker Ut mission furnishings, you
should by all means indulge in the
heavy fibre Mouzouk or Algerian rugs,
made in India.
The color effects are daring and the
designs dashing. For instance, a rug of
plain dun red has a broad border OF
vivid Irish green; another, with dark
olive centre, has an apple green border
and a yellow brown outer edge. Again,
there are apparently impossible com
binations Of strong blues and greens and
yel,ows. or a curved border entirely
covered with a huge central design OF

KEEPING CUT FLOWERS

4 S 1T is positively sickennig TO
~ the lover OF flowers to see them
many methods are tried to keep
them alive as long as possible.
Much depends, of course, on the con-
ditiOn in which flowers are received
as often they are sent out by florists
when just ready to drop all petals.
However, IL they are in fairly good
condition, they can be kept with
little care for three or four days
even a week.
Each evening put the flowers in
boxes, sprinkle them well, cover with
oiled paper and put then In a cool
place. The cellar IS best IN summer; In
winter keep them where they will not
freeze.
Remember, sprinkling does not mean
drowning. Make the stems quite moist
and be careful not to wet The petals,
especially in delicate dollhouse lovers
like gardenias, tea roses and sweet
peas, which are apt to get brown spots
from being touched with water.

HARDLY anything the season mas
II brought out is SO stunning as
are the lingerie coats for chill
dren. Made of the heaviest Of
linen, or Of material so sheer that slip
is necessary, they have already, in the
since they first appeared upon the scene,
made a place for themselves which they
promise 20 ho.d throughout the summer.
An occasional little suit is worn by the
small girl which echoes the styles of her
older sister. And plenty of linen REFERS
are being made as well.
But the most popular style is long
enough to reach from the throat to
the hem, or little above the hem, of
the dress.
Those OF heavy linen seem more prac-
teal, at first glance, and those Of the
rose or blue shades, really are. But
in white, and nine out of ten are made
of white, the sheer. fluffy ones are about
as practical as the more severe styles.
Both heavy and light coats are en-
broidered by hand, or trimmed with fine
machine-made insertion or houncing-
some even made Of the very deep houn-
cling which comes for the lingerie
dresses and petticoats that the grown
ups wear.
Blind and openwork embroidery are
both used, the openwork little more
often because of its greater effective
ness, although the coats of heavy linen
are often embroidered only with seal
lops, which edge collar and cape and
cuffs, and even the skirt of the coat
itself.
Some adorable little coats, which make
the tot who wears them look like great
French doll, are very much beruttied,
some of them with one ruttie piled upon
another. until the coat is as airy a bit
OF beauty as a dress.

There should be no lack OF ideas
where six or ten girls can be drawn

already thinking Of some such joint
party, or induce other bridesmaids not
to kill their friend with kindness.

HNHE June bride is often at a loss
for some novel way 10 entertain
Il her bridal party OF course there
is the usual dinner or luncheon,
but these. however attractive they may
DO (and in what month Of the year can
they be made more 50 than In JuneO,
certainly have not the merit Of novelty.
A last-year bride solved the problem
with such delightful results that her
methods may prove suggestive to some
distraught maiden who is even now
racking her brain to md something out
OF the ordinary nut for a similar occa-
sion.
The bride in question, as well as all
her attendants, was city girl. She had
always rather disliked the country, so,
great was the amusement-not TO mem
ton the teers-of her friends when she
elected 20 marry a farmer.
To assert her Woman's privilege TO
change her mind, and to give her brides
maids a foretaste Of the pleasures OF
country life, the bride-elect decided TO
make her bridal party truly bucolic.
She asked her guests-the ushers were
included-to meet at her home at
o'clock one late June afternoon, as IL for

Sometimes girdle or corselet is made
of the same material as the suit;
oftener when the suit is of cloth, the
girdle is of silk that matches, which
makes much the prettier girdle, for 1t
can be draped and laid upon a fitted
foundation without making the waist
seem thick.
If your bolero is, as nine out of ten
are, made with short sleeves, wear
short sleeved blouses with IL, or with
long sleeves which can be deftly tuck
ed up to the elbow. The sleeve that
is most satisfactory for the woman
who likes the long glove, but dlslikes

lar with home dressmakers
anu dress artists alike, there are
no end of petty troubles which follow
hard upon their trail-little points which
must be carefully looked to in wearing
them.
To, see a woman go down the street,
with bolero and skirt separated by an
irregular line of white where the blouse
has quite literally bloused out Of Its
proper bounds; with gloves too obvious
iy pulled up over long blouse sleeves
and failing to meet the elbow sleeve OF
the jacket, is a sorry sight, indeed.
No style that is popular this season
requires so much care in the putting
on as do bolero fashions. The blouse
must be pulled down in thoroughly
trig fashion, and adjusted so that 1t
won't ride up. one way of accomplish
ing this Il to wear narrow belt OF
elastic directly over the blouse and un-
der the skirt. II this elastic be fat and
drawn through a small, fiat wire buckle,
the blouse should stay put splendidly.
So many of the p-ettiest suits have
some sort of a deep girdle to match
that It is a great help in getting a gen.
eral trig erect; but, even then. blouse

Narrow elastics play an important
part in keeping sleeve and glove alike
In place. With sleeves make a casing
around the lower edge, through which
run white elastic of the width used
for children's hats. 1t may tie or be
sewed into place, and should be just
tight enough to hold the sleeve with

few stitches Just inside the edge of the
service. Then, when you tuck them
up, well within the bolero sleeve, they
stay IN place, instead OF showing a
white bit in between.

master attended Sunday school,

toned to his credit that Of all the
young men he has trained for Cor

trance examinations. Young men
who desire to enter Vanderbilt
University need not wander away
to other schools for the necessary
preparation. The City High School

tation for the character OF work
done. The number of nonresident
students is yearly increasing and

tractive environments. DR.. Tur-
ner thinks there are no better people
on earth than those in Union City,
but believes he can make more
progress in financial way in Fort
Worth, and we do not doubt the
truth Of his philosophy.
DR.. Turner established a dental
office in Union City several years
ago, upon the most advanced lines,
and developed that profession in
Union City as it has never been
done before. His parlors and APP
paratus we're model of elegance
and neatness and the Doctor not
only a man practical ability but
naturally gentleman of the Ches-
terfeld type, consequently his rep
utation spread all over the country
and his custom grew rapidly. The
Doctors enterprise was not confn-
ed to his own business, but he took
an active and leading interest in
public affairs and was largely in
strumental in bringing about many
improvements we now enjoy.
DR.. Turner and his family are
among the most popular citizens
we have. They are identified in
many ways with all the best there
is in Union City, and while their
intention to leave brings regret, we
wish them all the joy, health and
prosperity there is in the world.
We would that some unforeseen turn
in affairs would cause them to re-
main in Union City, but that being
impossible, we wish them God
speed.
