SUMMER EVENING GOWNS.
BY DOROTHY DALE.

In narrower strips about the bodice.
The drawing Of one Of the frocks
shown on this page offers a suggestion
for the use Of these bands, although this
model was not made up Of a bordered
fabric. Pale blue silk muslin was used
for the gown pictured, the edges Of the
surplice bodice and the bands on the
skirt being of Pekin striped chiffon in
black and white. White filet lace filed
In the surplice in front and back. and
medallions of the same lace were used
at each shoulder. The model gown had
sash ends of the striped chiffon caught
at the girdle by turquoise and rhinestone
buttons, the ends being finished by me-
dallions of lace. 4
The other sketch shows very girlish
and dainty little frock Of sheer white
null and Valenclennes lace. 1t was made
on Empire lines, although the figure was
defined by rows of minute tucks. These

weather wear are, this season, charm
ingly simple in design and trimming. al
though very fine and beautiful materials
are used. These sheer stuffs can, how
ever, be bought In delightful patterns
for a very moderate sum, and can be
very effective without the necessity Of
using a great deal of expensive trim

Take for instance the bordered mulls,
silk mousselines, and silk crepes. These
are, unless bought at marked-down
prices, more expensive than a plain ma

much less trimming than plain fabric,

of plain silk null or chiffon cloth In

summer cottage room. The feature of
this room Is the low, wide, easement
window, consisting Of four adjoining
sashes, paned in lattice effect. The sill
of the window was quite wide, and served
as a shelf for plants, which were potted
In porcelain jars The window was
draped with five curtains of cream-white,
figured madras
The doorway was hung with curtains
Of English cretonne in shades of wood
brown, peacock blue and green, and
touch of oak red.
The rug was Oriental in style. with the
central part unhgured, and a richly col
ored border, In the same tones as those
seen in the curtains. The floor OF the
room was finished in hardwood, though
ordinary wood painted in dark, woqi-
brown would fit in quite as well with
the general color scheme.
Green grasscloth served as wall cover
ing, and extended from the ceiling to
the panelled wooden wainscoting, which
ran around the wall at the level of the
window shelf. This wainscoting was
painted with cream-colored enamel, as
was also the woodwork Of the large win
dow. Light cream -colored paper covered
the ceiling, and served to make the room
bright.
In the center of the room was
straight-legged, handicapped mahogany
table, and on it a pottery lamp with a.
colored shade, together with books, ETC.;
In the corner was a large wicker chair
with projecting ''ears" or wings at the
sides, and having pocket arms to hold
magazines and papers. Along the other
wall there was lounge with slip cover
of green linen taffeta, and near the table
rocking chair. Gaily colored cushions
were disposed on the lounge and arm

The chimney should In no case be
cleaned with water. This treatment makes
the glass more liable to crack when heat

perhaps the best cleaning medium. Crush
the newspaper in the hands and rub the
chimney inside and out. If a spot or
stain ressts this treatment breathe In

paper and the chimney will have bright
lustre.
Take care that the chimney fits the
lamp correctly-not only at the burner,
but that the height, bulb, and diameter
are suitable for the burner with which
the lamp is equipped. Every burner has
chimney which is best suited to it, and
If none such can be found, write to the
maker of the burner and the particular

The Telegraph Operator

The telegraph operator continues to Of
fer splendid opportunities to the bright
young men Of America. Conditions may
not be 600 good as when Andrew Car
negie began as messenger boy and later
was placed in a small telegraph station
ih steel town outside of Pittsburg.
Carnegie did not limit his mind to the
telegraph keys, however, for every mes
sage he sent out from that booming foun-
dry town was calling him into his own.
1t is exactly in this spirit that the
work Of the telegraph operator is rec
commended TO ambitious young men. In
many cases It will bring him in close
touch with the executives of great cor
poratious and lndrstrtes-where his quick
ness and ability may be promptly recog-
nized. Like the newspaper man, his ma
terial success In the world will depend
on now he uses his trade as a stepping
stope to a less strenuous and more profit
able career.
The class of operators that are highest
paid are the ones that handle the press
or newspaper wires, where ability and
speed is always at premium. The aver
age is from s25 to $95 a week, with an
eighthour day. Because of newspaper
demands, this wage is always amplihed
by overtime.
Next to the operator is the telegraph
man In brokerage houses, in the stock
market, etc. He Is hired entirely on his
, personal ability. A slick operator, In
time Of financial stress, can save his en-
ployer thousands of dollars.
1t is rather a long step to the CONNER
cial operator, whose wage, In many cases,
will not run over $50 a month, unless
helped by overtime. He is the operator
who caters to the public, handling pri-
vate messages from the main and branch
Offices In many Of the small branch
Offices young girls do this work for $40
n month.
The railroad telegrapher-except in the
large oflces-is, perhaps the poorest paid
of all. In the small stations with which
railroad lines are dotted, he is the ticket
agent, baggage smasher and express
agent. In this case the actual telegraph
ing is the smallest part Of the RESPONSE
bility and labor.

The Care Of Lamps.

A very pretty effect is gained by using
lamps alone as illumination in a summer
home or city house furnished for the sum-
mer, gas and electricity being entirely dis
pensed with. point in favor of the
lamp is that the chair may be drawn up
close to 1t, and the book catches the d.
rect rays, while the light from the gas
the greater space which 1t must traverse.
The usefulness of lamp, however,
should never be subordinated to appear
ances; however beautiful the bowl. shade
or mounting of a lamp, 1t is Of no account
unless it satisfactorily fulhlls its main
purpose-thar Of giving light. Much de-

There are schools and good ones, but the

plishments For Year
MORE WATER AND SEWERS
Mayor Favors Extensions Within All
Reasonable Lmits-Pay City En-
ployes Well, and Expect Honest Re-
turns-EmpIoyes on Their Merit -
Incompetency Will Not Be Tolerated.

Mayor O. L. Ingledue, who has been
prevented, owing to illness, from de-
livering his annual message to the
council at an earlier date, presented
his views before the council at the
adjourned meeting Monday night. The
mayor made comprehensive review
of the work of the past two years, and
outlined in suggestions what he con-
sidered wise for the council to try and
accomplish during the coming year The
mayor was accorded the closest atten-
ton turnout the delivery Of his mes
sage, which follows in full:
"My first duty is to the people who
have paid me very great compliment
by returning me to the mayors chair
with such a handsome majority. | as
sure you that I feel keenly the respon-
sibility that this flattering endorsement
gives me. and l assure you that my
best efforts will be given to the ONCE
for the two years have to serve, ana
IL shall be my constant effort to retain
to the end that same confidence ana
good will that they reposed in me IN
the past. I also wish to extend to the
old council just past my sincere THANKS
for their hearty and generous support
during the past two years, and their
ever willing assistance and aid in help
ling me to unravel those problems,
which ait times seemed almost unsur-
mountable. We have had some diner-
ences at times on some questions, but
they have been honest differences and
we were both striving for the same
end / hope and trust / shall, at all
times, have the good will and conf
dence Of the present council.
"There9is no reason why the business
affairs of our city should not be man
aged with the same care and economy
as our own private interests, and let
us consider that public officials are the
agents of the people and hold their
places and exercise their powers TOR
the benefit of all the people. There
could be no higher inducements for
faithful and honest discharge of our
duties. We hold the money of the peo-
pie in our hands to be used for their
purposes, and to further their interests
as members of the municipality. and It
should be our constant effort to see
that the money thus Entrusted to our
care should be expended in such a
manner as will return the greatest good
to the greatest number. The laws as
they now stand upon our statute books
are such that great care should be ex-
ercised in making your appropriations
and your legislation for those improves
ments. which in your Judgment are
necessaryt to be done.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1907-04-30

Thus it will be seen that the city is
actually using to conduct the affairs of
the city 21.2 mills; 2 mills for park
purposes, which the people vote upon
themselves, and mills for library
purposes 1t will be observed that the
schools are using 1851 mills for their
purposes and the state and county 11.9
mills. The city administration is al
ways held responsible for the amount
of taxation. and when you observe that
the affairs Of the city are being con-
Quoted with 21.2 mills, yoh can readily
see that at no time can the people ex-
pect a very much lower tax for city af-
fairs. We have most excellent schools.
and every man in Marshalltown should
and does feel proud of them, and it is
not my purpose to find fault with the
levy made for this purpose, but to SIM
ply try and separate the responsibility
OF the taxes and let the people know
that they are paying for this most ex-

Raise Employer Wages.

"The people are forced to pay taxes
Into the city treasury only upon the
theory that such money shall be ex-
pended for public benefits; benefits in
which they all have a direct and sub
stantial interest. We all hope and be-
lieve that our city has entered upon a
course Of great growth and prosperity.
I believe I am justified in saying that
never in the history of the city have
our factories been so full of thrift and
business as they have been in the past
two years and are today. Never in the
history of our fair city has labor been
SO well employed, and ] think may
add as well paid. Yet question if la
Dor is getting its full share of the pros
perity that the entire country is now
enjoying. Almost every commodity
has advanced materially, and think 1t
the duty of the city to see that all en-
ployes are receiving their full wage for
a full honest days work. Underpaid
men have no heart In their work, and
a city can i'll afford to take lead in this
direction. therefore recommend that
the council consider the wages of city
employees and see that they are receiy-
ing good compensation for their la
