NapoIeOn's $4,000 Portraits

"Of all the characters OF history, Wash
ington is the only one who has even APP
preached this record.

tors and-theiF- agents. which II might be
supposed would have exhausted the sup
ply, new examples are continually coming

guild who is not constantly In receipt OF
offers OF moro or less valuable prints 6c-
casionaly something of supreme value is
discovered in this accidental way, but the
major part OF such offerings is quite with
out worth"
Twelve different aspects OF the great
Corsican have been reproduced in Apple
tons Magazine for September by the
courtesy OF Mr. william J. Latta OF Phila-
delpha. who has made a study and a
hobby OF Napoleoniana for many years
and who has accumulated n collection
which for number. for variety, and for
rare specimens Is acknowledged 10 be un-
surpassed even in Enrope.
These pictures have been chosen from
over 1900 with the object Of presenting
those OF especial rarity and beauty: and
each one bears some distinguishing mark
OF the subject or the artist that makes II
notable.
For example. the very fine portrait by
Hodges shown in Appletons Is not listed
by any authority on Napoleon. II was
only discovered In Amsterdam In 1905 and
became at once the object OF the most
spirited emulation among the most prom
inent dealers and collectors I'm Europe
and America. This Is undoubtedly the
rarest OF all Napoleon prints and one
OF the most beautiful 1t is only one Of
a dozen rare portraits OF a great man In
whom interest can never die.

dim black on white. Skirt and waist
We're in one, and there was a ilchu
ard undersleeve of white lawn
with border of fine Swiss embroidery.
A white wash hat was worn.
Russian -sheeting is a material the
wise are now buying for their SKIRT
waist suits, a creamy material not un-
like . kitchen toweling, though soft
er and more artistic" 1t is very
wide and takes but four yards to
make dsess. Trimmed with bands
of colored cambric, it is very modish.
And made of course with elbow
sleeves.
This is the day of pastel shades.
and we would repeat what was said
not long ago about the modishness of
a touch of light gray. Pale harmonies
are liked better than contrasts.
We are affecting youthful modes.
Not only is this evidenced by the
childish lingerie hats but also by such
chapeau as Tuscan hat lavishly
trimmed with pale blue ribbons and
blush roses; white crinolne straws
wita crown of spotted muslin and
wreath of dog roses and ivy. A Leg
horn simply trimmed with black vel
vet and white roses looks very well
with dress of white serge.
The black veil of real lace drapes
with due charm the white or black
hat worn with a white gown. Some of
these wells are very beautiful. and the
pattern is brought out well in detail
when seen against white. AS a rule
they are very becoming, forming a
frame for the face, generally seen
thrown back over the hat.
Sheer gray is in fashion for evening
wear. and as rule is made over a
colored lining. A very Frenchy cos
tune was transparent gray over an
orange-colored silk slip; the CLEAN of
the yellow through the cool gray very
beautiful. In the hair was worn an
orange aigrette that came forth from
bowknot of silver spangles. Many
persons are attempting gray that
once thought the color quite impos-
sible for them; but nowadays there
are such beautiful tones and gray is
combined SO yariously that 1t is not
so difficult to wear as formerly. There
are lovely wash materials in gray. and
one may evolve from one of these n
fashionable evening gown at decided
ly small outlay of money The more
expensive evening stuffs, among them
chiffon. are of course very attractive.

CHICAGO PACKERS TO MOVE.
Location to Be in Indiana-City Officials
Have Ordered Changes Made
in Present BuiIings.

Chicago, Ill.,-Rumors to the eff
feet that a new stockyards with Sir
Thomas ]. Upton of London as its
chief hacker is to be established near
Gary, Ind, adjacent to the property
of the United States Steel corporation,
were in circulation Friday. Several of
the best known real estate men in
Chicago were named among those said
to be acquiring land for the purpose.
Although the story generally was
discredited among the packers, it waNs
declared that at least six plants are
to be removed from Chicago to In
diana. 1t is said the plans include the
digging of canal to the little Calumet
river for the purpose of carrying Off
refuse.
The building commissioner, Peter
Bartzen, and the sanitary commission
or, Perry L. Hedrick, served notice
Friday on the packers to make i'm
provements which it is estimated by
Bartzen will cost close to 81 900, 600.
Bartzen declared that practically all
the buildings in the stock yards were
erected without city building permits.
He said he will ask the city council
to give him fifteen special inspectors
for term of thirty days. The sani-
tary commissioner said the packers
are willing to adopt all suggestions
made by his department.
Mayor Dunno sent a letter to the
Secretary of Agriculture, James Will
son, urging him to give his view, YIN
reference to the joint appointment of
a committee of high grade pathologists
and experts to pass on the purity OF
meats sent out from the stock yards.
June 2 the mayor sent Mr.. Wilson a
telegram in regard to the matter, but
he received only brief telegraphic
reply.

ment of the powers of the govern
ment in inspecting all meats which

merce. Unfortunately the misdeeds
of those who are responsible for the
abuses we design to cure will bring
discredit and damage not only upon
them but upon the innocent stock

of the country. The only way perma-
nently to protect and benefit these in

thorough and adequate inspection for
which have asked. Sincerely yours,

Not long ago we were shown an ar
ray of party frocks for little girls that
quite took our breath away, they We're
SO elabroate. But while these We're
pretty they really were too fussy
would make the little girl look like an
overdressed French doll However, 1t
would be all right to let one such cos
tune creep into that sensible ward
robe you have planned for your par
ticular small maid. The fayorite ma
terial is dainty dotted Swiss, which
does not muss easily, looks crisp and
fresh long time and stands out in
that engaging ballet-skirt manner so
affected by the smart wee lady. One
for child of five years was made
with full blouse waist that came down
very low indeed and from which frilled
out a ruffle supposed to do duty as a
skirt. The neck was low, the sleeves
mere puffs, the trimming lace inser-
tion put in with up and down strips.
No sash was worn, stockings and
shoes were white. With this a hat of
dotted Swiss would be charming, the
flowers half wreath of daisies.
Colored shoes and stockings add to
the costumes of the summer season,
pale blue stockings and low shoes in
great favor with the very young la
dies. Perhaps later we shall see them
adopting the gray hose and shoes
their elders so much approve jus, at
present. Both mammas and daughters
have taken to fiowered stuffs fc.' af-
ternoon and evening frocks, and these
costumes suit admirably the p:a.ur-
eg1ue headgear in vogue.
