makes are selected by fashionable brides.
Heavy "stand alone" satin was the ma
terial at recent smart wedding, while at
another the Princess slip was of the softest
most pIiabIe satin, and the gown itself
was a loose Princess affair of lace. A
beauty and belle of distinguished fam
lily wore not long since gown that sug-
gested classic Greece in its lines and drap-
cries. The material being silk crepe
with glossy satin finish.
Bridesmaids Attire
Bridesmaids wear frocks OF any mater
ial from tulle to satin, made more often
than not with full gathers at the waist, or
even princesse with wide girdle formed
of shirrihg to define the waist. Gowns Of
null in simple tucked styles are modish
as those OF more expensive material, and
hats are chosen to accord. Lingerie hats
are especially pretty with simple lingerie
frocks. At recent wedding the null
frocks topped under slips of pink silk,
and the lingerie hats of null ruffles edged
with Valenciennes had long sashes OF soft
pink satin that circled the crown and
we're tied in simple bow with long ends
at the back of the hat.
Thanks are due the Mccall Co., makers
and designers OF Fashion for handsome
illustration accompanying this article.
Graduation Gowns
Graduation gowns should be simple
and girlish, which does not mean dowdy
and clumsy and lacking in style. The
girls figure should be considered. II she
is thin and tall the gown should have
cross tucks and frills, and fichu trimmings
on the waist to soften and broaden the
effect II she is inclined to be stout and
dumpy, a simple thicker type of waist,
and skirt in pleats or panels will look
best, aud long sash ends will be pretty
and give height.
Warm Weather Wrinkles
1t requires careful thought and intelli-
gent planning to be neat aud well dressed
and at the same time comfortable in
warm weather. Transparent collars and
silk gloves are aids, aud a thoroughly re-
liable dress shield like the well known
"Ono" insures one from spelling gown,
and looking repulsive as one does when
the cheap shield bought at some sale
proves delusion so far as protection
goes.
Pumps and Ties
Pump styles are first favorites in low
shoes, and these come in all coIors, blues
and pinks as well as greys, taus, whites
and blacks. A novelty is the shoe laced
at the side and tied with single erayat
bow.

Veranda Possibilities
Almost every home outside OF the most
thickIy settled city blocks has some sort
of a porch or veranda, and intelligent
people of all classes have learned to take
advantageof the opportunities these afford
can out door sitting rooms. The smallest
will usually accommodate table to hold
growing plant, or vase of flowers, chair
or two, and several of the woven grass
seats that take the place of cushions and
make the steps available when more
friends drop in than the chairs will hold.
These grass mats should have loop of
string at one side so that they can be
hung out of the way against the hall or
yeranda railing when not needed.
Screens and Curtains
Porch screens can be had in variety
of widths and prices and any one can put
them up so that they are easily raised or
lowered to any desired height. The green
painted or stained ones are most grateful
to the eye, as indeed is everything green
| at this season.
New Shapes
Swinging seats-settles without legs
hung by strong chains from the ceiling,
come in several sizes, and are smartIy
used instead of hammocksonverandas, and
as hall seats where there isroom for them.
Woven lounging chairs with cushions Of
leather or other materials broad armed
writing chairs with sides pockets for
magazines, or for fancy work are all at
tractiye and look far more expensive
than their cost.
A Novel Jardiner
A novel jardiniere seen on The porch Of
suburban home has cross section of
an elm tree, followed to hold flower
pot. The flower in this was handsome
begonia and an added charm to the pretty
arrangement was lent by the knowledge
that the elm came from "Eimwood'' the
homestead of the poet James Russell
Lowell in Cambridge, Mass.
Hanging Vases and Boxes
Where the arrangement can be made
nothing is prettier than boxes of thrifty
plants resting OH the veranda railing, and
the hanging vases that are to be had at
every store where Oriental goods are kept
are particularly good for holding odd
punches of field flowers, or vines that
grow well in water. As rule the best
decorators select all receptacles for flowers
of natural colors, though an occasional
use is made of strong coloripgs for jardin-
ieres that are intended to hold palms or
other foliage plants. Jars of Japanese
bronze or of copper or brass make hand
some and much appreciated wedding
presents, and have the merit of not being
SO popular form of gift that there are
apt to be many duplicates Teak wood
stands are also desirable gifts for such oc-

WASHINGTON, d. c., JUNE 9th, 1905.
Even with the hot weather closing in,

that might take up the public mind,
there is little interest in anything in
Washington just now but the Meat Pack.
ing Scandals. The matter is being fought
SO obstinately in the House committee on
Agriculture that there are many hard
words being said about the attitude of
Representative Wadsworth, the chair
man of the committee. During all tine
investigation that has followed the pub
lication of President Roosevet's report,
Mr. Wadswortl has taken the position of
counsel for the defence and willie he has
treated Mr.. Wilson, the representative of
the packers, with marked courtesy and
consideration, he has acted toward both
Mr.. NeilI and Mr.. Reynolds, the Presi-
dents commissioners, as though they
were cuIprts on trial. In fact had he
been admittedly the paid counsel for the
packers, he could hardly have espoused
their cause more warmly. The result has
been to increase public feeling against the
meat packers and. there have been threats
in the house that if an unsatisfactory re-
port is made from the committee that the
house will have no hesitation in voting
against it. This in plain language means
that if there is an attempt on the part of
the committee to make a whitewashing
report Oh the Beveridge Amendment, the
House will throw out the report and
adopt the Beveridge Amendment as it
came from the Senate. This would be
against all precedent, for favorable re-
port on any measure from the committee
having it under consideration is almost
OF favorable action by the
house.

In all the matter that has been printed
about the condition of the packing houses,
however, there is one that seems to have
been generally overlooked. That is the in
human treatment to which the livestock is
subjected before it gets on the killing beds.
The packers and the stock raisers just be-
Just before the disclosures of condition in
the yards, had been clamoring for Con-
gress to increase the time during which
they could transport cattle on the trains
without food or water As the law stands,
cattle must be fed and watered once in
28 hours, and the cattle sellers wanted to
increase this to Sc hours. The PROPOSE
ton was monstrously inhuman in its
conception. But starving and famislIing
is not the worst that happens. The cat
tie are bruised, gored, frequently knocked
down and their limbs broken this and is
the way in which many of the dead cattle
reach the killing beds where they are Of

Iation will be introduced looking to cure
for this phase OF the evil. And it cannot

The meat lobby has been busy trying
to manufacture public opinion. They
have spent money wherever they could
and as the papers have persistently taken
stand in favor of the Neill-Reynolds Of
fetal report, the representatives of the
packing houses this week took a whole
page in each of the local papers with an
immense display advertisement stating
that Gin veiw of the sensational and un-
true reports" that has been circulated
about the meat business in Chicago, they
wished to offer on invitation to all the
people OF the country and Washington.
ians in particular to visit the packing
houses and see conditions for themselves.
This was great piece of bumcomb for on
the very day that the advertisement ap-
peared, the President gave out letter
that he had sent to chairman Wadsworth,
with some very pointed extracts from ore
of his personal friends in Chicago anent
the cleaning up process that had been 60
ing on ever since the disclosures had been
impending. The President did not name
his correspondent, but said that he would
give the name if the committee so de-
sired. The writer in question said that
he had been watching the Awakening
OF Packingtown" aud that the haste the
packers displayed in cleaning up their
places would be humorous if all the con-
ditioEs were not SO tragic He enumer-
ated some of the things that has already
been done in the way of putting in new
plumbing, providing washing facilities
and washable uniforms, repaving, paint
ing, scraping, whitewashing, and the
like And he said that if committee
from Congress did visit the packing
houses, they would find very different
place from that so accurately described by
Messrs. Neill and Reynolds in their re-
port.

The rate bill has been recommitted to
conference by the Senate which is dissat-
isfied with the outcome of the compro-
mise. The Senate has won out on only
fofty-seven of the fifty-one amendments
submitted, but it apparently wants to get
them all. One thing on which an earnest
fight is being made is the anti-pass pro-
vision of the bill. As it stands now, the
measure will certainly work considerable
hardship on the, bona fde employees of
the railroad. But as Senator Patterson
pointed out, the pass privilege is one of
the most potent agencies in corrupt elec-
tions. He says that this feature of the
bill cannot be too strong by drawn, and it
looks as though he we're right.

The letter ended unconventionally, with
out a signature; but the writing of the last
lines was strong and bold, with vigorous
upward curve.
With a touch of impetuosity, Clodagh
picked up an envelope and addressed it to
Laurence Asshin, at Orristown; then, ris-
