Frocks for Afternoon Wear.
BY DOROTHY DALE.

The two frocks illustrated In the accom-
panylng plate are excellent in design and
can be attractively made up In various
wash fabrics, the nguro to the right show
ing a design which would also be good in
pongee or silk: This model is sketched
with a sweeping skirt, but the band trim
ming used about the lower part is also
quite as suitable for a skirt in walking
length.
Either white or colored linen would be
charming made up after this style, the
simple braiding design used being done in
either self color or white soutache braid.
Large linen covered embroidered buttons
are also used as trimming.
The bodice closes on the left side of the
front, and is cut In one with the open
Japanese sleeve. Heavy white hlet lace
is used under this sleeve cap, the yoke
and short undersleeves being of fine ba-
tiste In combination with hlet.
Linen gowns of this description will bc
much In vogue this summer, most Of them
being made with thin yoke and under
sleeves and ornamented with braiding or
hand embroidery or In a combination of
both. Some of the newest models have
long transparent ''mitten" sleeves which

Decoration for a Nursery Wall.

very pleasing scheme Of decoration
for a nursery wall is a decided improve
ment on the stereotyped friezes Of Dutch
figures, birds, animals and windmills,
which have been so frequently used of
late.
First, the side walls are covered with
some plain nlling, either ingram paper,
burlap or the prettier and more artistic
grass cloth, which may be had In many
desirable shades. Perhaps the best for
the purpose is the light ecru, although
this depends upon the lighting Of the
nursery. If the room is sunny medium
tone might be better.
The cloth comes right up to the ceiling,
where 1t is finished with a molding.
Then, from paper which comes by the
roll, decorate with all sorts Of birds,
chickens, rabbits and cats. The figures
are cut and applied to the grass cloth.
The animals and birds are quite lifesize,
so that the effect is most lifelike. The
birds should be near the top, the chick
ems, with their broods, at the bottom,
and also the cats, rabbits and dogs.
Being tinted in the natural colors, the
children may become familiar not only
with the domestic fowls. but with the
birds and animals. AS they are placed
low, In the range OF vision OF the child,
they seem more like real companions

Investing Your Savings.
The First thousand Dollars.

It IN an old saying-one that has de-
generated into truism from overwork-
that the most difficult problem Of at
tainlng wealth is to get together the
first thousand dollars. This remark, how
ever old, Is not the guidance to any
great extent, of the present generation.
As James ]. Hill said to the writer a
short time ago: Opportunities for young
men? Plenty of them-more than ever.
But the trouble is the get-rich-quick
mania. They want to reap a bountiful
harvest almost as soon as they have put
the seed In the ground. Patience-but
especially perseverance, sir! Let me
tell you something. Up-todate young
men expect the ladder of success to be
transformed into an electric elevstorl''
This was probably the nearest to an
epigram that the grizzled millionaire ever
got in his life, but 1t illustrated his point
that one thousand dollars, slowly saved,
marked the first milestone.
Don't escape the fact that one thou

ceiling was covered with cream-colored

The floor was of hard wood and was
covered with rugs Of harmonizing shades.
The staircase was a simple Colonial one,
In a straight line design, and mahogany
hall table stood against the wall. Two
oblong pictures were on the wall and a
Colonial mirror, hung over the table, on
either side Of the latter there was a
double candlestick, made to fasten to the
wall.
In the hall or on the stairway few

= For the formal drapery for the front
door Or the window, nothing equals the
f1let lace panel. There are several ways
of using this curtain; 1t may be stretched
on a frame and set In the sash against
the glass, or it may be attached to
small rod at the top Of the pane and
allowed to hang In folds to the bottom.
The frame, however has this advantage:
when the curtain has been cleaned 1t may
be stretched in the frame and dried in
position. Otherwise the lace will tend
to dry out Of shape and look stringy and
lacking in its pristine freshness.
One of the best frames comes with a
groove in each side in which is a cotton
cord. To this cord the lace panel is
sewn, and when the curtain is cleaned
these stitches may readily be taken out,
and after washing be readily replaced

Minor Fashion Notes.

Pongees, embroidered in small designs
In self tone, are shown In all the fash
ionable colorings for combination with
plain pongees.
The variety in linen collars increases
daily. The high rundown embroidered
collar holds first place, but there Is also
straight standing collar, likewise en-
broidered, which is much worn in Paris.
This is usually worn with one of the
narrow lingerie ties, hand embroidered at
the ends. The plain linen collars with
the narrow huted borders in pink or
blue or green are among the French
novelties.
Polka dot parasols scalloped on the
edges are good In linen to match summer
frocks and new silk parasols are Of
moire, with deep border Of blurred
floral design.
The fad of the embroidered linen collar
and lingerie cravat has caused a demand
shoe, Turkish crescent and circle shapes,
as these will pin through the sides of the
collar and hold them In shape, yet will
not Interfere with lingerie bow.
Sets of dainty straight collar pins are
also increasingly popular and two are
worn to hold the collar fronts, when a
lingerie cravat without bow is slipped
up under the collar.
Some of the new collars have little but
tonholes worked In the rundown part,
and link collar buttons are passed
through, holding the collar In place with
out the aid of pins. A stud matching the
link buttons goes with the set.

While on the subject of linen costumes
mention must again be made Of the linen

Men Successful But

]. J. HILL.

James Jerome Hill. better known as
J. ]. Hill, is absolutely the railroad auto
crat of the great Northwest, and the
bitter enemy of Hartman. Hills fort
Is Seattle, Harrimans stronghold, San
Francisco. He likes to refer to himself
as a plain farmer" and, though he
looks the part, his domelke brow has
enabled him to cope with and conquer
wall Street with ease Following the
plow at 18, he Is the great railroad
builder who ran his roads through an
unpopulated country practically on
"shoe-string," then attracted q select
class Of immigrants to what is now the
granary of the world-and the gateway
to the Orient. Sxty-nine years Of age,
he still dreams these wondrous dreams
and puts them into shape.
Jim" Hill is both honored by this
great section Of country as patron
saint, and yet feared as the Old Mel,
himself. He holds his 5000 miles of
track in the hollow of his hand. and
uses 1t like a long steel whip to lash
cities or states into his way of thinking.
He knows that he has made that section
for even his enemies call 1t the "Hill
country"-but he is the autocrat on all
occasions.
Forty-one years ago Jim Hill was
mud clerk on a Mississippi steamboat
a mud clerk Is the one who does the
meanest and most menial Jobs. Learn
Ing the business, he secured small
freight agency. His motto through life
al find 1t better to expend my energies
in my own behalf than in behalf OF
others"-then came into vogue. and he
engaged In the fuel and transportation
trade. Seeing the possibilities of the Red
River Valley, he bored right into that
bowling wilderness and never ceased
until he steel-ribbed the Northwest clear
to the Pacific, never ceasing until his
steamships tapped the Orient. He is the
up-to-date Columbus who found a route
to India.
Hill Is a master Of men, which is, per-
haps, why he Is master of things. The
stocks of his railroads are never manip-
ulated after the manner of other sane
timonious roads. He is hated, but not
despised.
