THIN SUMMER WEAR
Silks and Organizes, deliberately
Trimmed, Will Be Popular During
Hot Weather.

For evening wear nothing Is prettier
than the thin silks and organdies
which may be worn through the sum-
mer. There is no evidence of the
simple muslin gown" in the models
from which we are supposed to take
our cue. They are trimmed as elab-
orately as may be, still keeping the
lines of those already mentioned. a
charming marquisette costume OF
palest blue consists of skirt in which
the front panel and fiounce are cut IN
one piece. Bands of lace insertion
outline the panel, and the fiounce has
a band of insertion around the bot
tom, with a graceful design in hand
embroidery above it and extending
half way up the front panel oval IN
serts of crosswise tucking, overlaid
with bands of insertion put on in
conventional figures, make up the
fanciful bodice and short, pulled
sleeves, and a band of velvet ribbon
several shades darker than the mar
uuisette runs up over the shoulders I'M
1erneath the girdle and down to the top
Of the f1ounce, which it meets under
meath rosettes of chiffon. There is
gathered semi-yoke inside the bodice
which rounds out the decollete neck.

BEAUTY HINTS.

The lungs send away waste prod
ucts, so does the skin. Deep breath
ing and bathing aid these processes
Getting to bed early, taking exer
cises out of doors, living a sane, sim
pie life are the plain everyday rules
for preserving good looks and temper
The proper cure for enlarged pores
is thorough bathing every night with
a good complexion brush and the use
of an astringent wash every morning
The brush awakens all the blood
vessels and glands to state of health
full activity. People who use good
face creams seldom have enlarged
pores. The creams will cause perspira'
ton and this keeps the pores active
Drink lots of water and eat plenty OF
fruit. These are good medicines fol
all beauty ills and are especially ap
plicable to enlarged pores.
Benzoin must be used sparingly on
the skin. It works its best effects
when combined with alcohol and rose
water

Pete, pale and trembling with over

Aandkerchiefs-

With pale pink, green, blue and vio-
let borders are "all the rage" Ivy
and clover leaves, feurs de lis, and a
great variety of flowers are used IN
The designs. Some inexpensive
mouchoirs are crossbarred with a
color and at the intersection of the
bars there is a small white embro1d-
cred dot. Instead Of putting embrold-
cry around the edges and in the cor
ners of handkerchiefs in the old-fash-
ioned way the designs are scattered
about in a seemingly careless manner.
Insects are extremely popular THIS
year, and flies, beetles and spiders
which look realistic in the center OF a
delicate web are embroidered at the
intersection of bars. Fleurs de lis,
clover leaves ard daisies also are used
in this way.

PROTECTS "GRAss WIDOWS"
ENTITLED to Same Rights as Those
Whose Husbands Are Dead"

Toledo, GA divorced woman,
ed as widow. The appellation grass
widow won't do.
Such is the Interpretation given a
decision rendered by Judge r. w. Tay.
Ter in the United States district court
in the interesting case of Ella E. Giles,
bankrupt.
Mrs. Giles, on June % last, was ad-
judged bankrupt by the federal
court. Harry Leyison was appointed
trustee Petitioner asked that she be
allowed, as exempt under the Ohio
statutes, her household goods and a
lot worth about $500, situated in North
Toledo.
Fordyce Belford, United States
bankruptcy referee, allowed the first
named exemption, but upheld the trus-
tee in his finding that the bankrupt
was not entitled to property under the
state law
AS a reason Mr.. Bedford certified to
Judge Tayler that ''she was denied the
right to the real estate because she is
not a widow, and because she is not
an unmarried female having in good
faith the care, maintenance, and Gus
tody of any minor child or children
of a deceased relative, as required by
section 5441."
Judge Tayler holds that Mrs. Giles
is entitled to the exemptions asked
for. 1t therefore follows that grass
widows" so-called, can benefit under
thu Ohio statutes, which resolved into
an interesting question for the federal
court. Judge Tayler set aside the de-
cision of the referee in bankruptcy.

The Value of Appearance.

No woman is so good, intellectual,
or beautiful that she can afford to be
careless in her dress.
No woman, if she would be Of In
fiuence. can afford to nag or worry or
fret.
No woman has any right to make
herself unattractive. The woman who
neglects her appearance, because she
thinks it doesn't make any difference
to her family, is not only Indifferent
to her power but is lazy, and Sinking
her duty besides.

Dainty Gowns Of Pineapple Muslin

masses of lace and tucks. The mate

Mistaken Economy.

It is a waste of money to ever buy
a cheap embroidery silk. Too much
time and nerve force is put on even
a comparatively simple piece of work
to run the risk of having it ruined at

is an abomination, and most OF the
cheaper silks are liable to that defect.
Do without embroidery if you will,
but never economic on the materials
of which it is made.

yet simple and harmless prescription,
which anyone can easily prepare at
home.
Fluid Extract Dandelion, oue-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained atanv g ,od prescription phar-
macv at small cost, and, being OF vege-
table extraction, ara harmless TO take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken regu-
larly for few days, is saId to overcome
almost any cas-" of rheumatism. The
pain and swelling, if any, dlminiShes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained and without injnring the
stomach. While there are many So

relief, few really give permanent re-
suits, and the above will, no doubt, be
greatly appreciated by many sufferers
