stitched edges. Between the clusters
of tucks are insets OF valenciennes
lace, and all edges are finished with
rufiles of the same. Nowadays this
particular lace is finer and more deli
cate and attractive than ever before.
There are many smart grass linen
dresses in natural color being made
up with no end of lace insets, or some
times with embroidery wrought on the
fabric itself. One such gown had the
skirt embroidered for distance of
twelve inches from the foot in front
to eighteen in the back There was
q belt made Of the linen In folds.
while the waist was in surplice style,
and all edges We're embroidered to
match the design on the skirt, but in
smaller figures. This was made for
an elderly woman, and the only touch
Of color about II was a soft Y in front
Of the waist Of pale green. The dress
was the natural color Of the fax.
Other gowns of this natural fax linen
are made with nuns folds or plain
tucks about the lower portion OF the
skirt, while the waist is a mass of
rich lace or embroidery.
Some very dainty and pretty frocks
for young girls are made in what is
called Peter Pan style. which means
that they are made TO 1T the figure
by means of shirrings that begin at
the bust line and finish about six
inches below the belt. The shirrs are
drawn to fit the figure, and it is
pretty and youthful style. Light
lawns, organizes and all such mate
rials make ND daintily IN this fashion.

did sell out and at bottom prices.

RAILROAD NOTES

The people injured in railway acct
dents in this country during the
months of January February and
March Of this year would populate a
city almost the size Of Fort Wayne,
according to figures contained in ac-
cident bulletin No. 10, of the Inter
state Commerce commission, which
has just been Issued and received in
this city The bulletin states that
the increase over the preceding three
months was very large In what are
termed train accidents there were
killed on the country railroads PA
persons. and 1899 were injured. In
railway accidents of other kinds
enough people were killed to bring
the casualties for the three months
up to 1,126 and the number injured
up to 1910. These numbers are very
large, though the bulletin states that
they do not indicate a tendency. 1t
states that they are large enough,
however, to make it advisable for
the government to investigate the
causes of the costly accidents and
suggests remedies.

are now made by machine which gives
Us a substitute so cheap that any one
can wear it, but there is one variety
that so far cannot be initiated by ma

is not such a hardship as it might be,
however, for this particular kind OF
lace is not especially attractive and
cannot be made to take the place OF
any other kind for lightness and grace,
which is what all lace should stand
for Flanders lace is close, and the
patterns are by no means dainty. The
wealthy women may be sure that there
will be no imitation. Mrs. Astor had

LADIES AID HELPS NELSON.
Joe Sherry, Office Boy of The Lake
County Times, Hears From Nelson.

Battling Nelson took such a fancy to
Joe Sherry. the Office boy of the Lake
County Times, that he has been cor
responding with him ever since he
left Hammond. The last letter which
Joe received from the light weight
champion of the world was from Nell
sons training quarters in Goldfeld,
New, and is probably the most COM
plete statement that Nelson has made
recently in regard to his training
and prospects. One of the most in
teresting things about the letter is
the statement Nelson makes about
experiences of his in Goldfield, where
finding it impossible to secure train
ing quarters in any place but the
rear of saloon, the Ladies Aid of
Goldfield came to his relief and offer
ed him their quarters for the Batlers
use. The letter which Joe received
follows:
