THIN SUMMER WEAR
Silks and Organdies, ElaborateIy
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 a skirt in which
the front panel and flounce are cut in
one piece. Bands of lace insertion
outline the panel, and the flounce has
q band OF insertion around the bot
tom. with 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, puffed
sleeves, and band of velvet ribbon

quisette runs up over the shoulders un-
derneath the girdle and down to the top
OF the fiounce, which 1t meets under
meath rosettes of chiffon. There is
gathered semi-yoke inside the bodice
which rounds out the decollete neck.

handkerchiefs-

With pale pink, green, blue and vio-

and clover leaves, fieurs 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 embroid-

cry around the edges and in the cor

Insects are extremely popular this

TALES OF HORROR
FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA
HILL COUNTRY.
Diseased Mind Of Fratricide Wove
for Himself a Ferful Punishment
Sitting for Hours with
Silent Ghost

! A man named Shelton of Cherokee
| county in the mountains of North
Carolina. few years ago in some
drunken brawl killed his own brother
Escaping somehow the punishment OF
the law, he was given over to the
horror of what he had done and from
his own mind wove for himself a
| frightful punishment. He believed
and asserted as fact that every
night hair was drawn from his head
| by his slain brother, coming through
the night from the unseen regions OF
the hereafter for that purpose. IL Is
known fact that Shelton did become
was left; and some of his neigheor9
believed in the nightly visitation OF
the dead man as firmly as the slayer
himself. No explanation was offered
and no deductions were made That
nightly coming, the silent plucking OF
the hair, and the departure were ac-
copied stoically as a thing actually
and undoubtedly happening and part
of the mans regular life and expert
ence. Shelton died recently after hav-
ing allowed himself with his gro
tesquely barred head to be exhibited
in a tent through mountain hamlets
as "The Modern Cain" and the local
newspapers recall his story.
1t was another mountaineer, living
many miles from Shelton and de-
barred of any possibility of knowing
about him, who told the mountain
girl he was about to marry that she
must reconcile herself to a nightly
visit from man he had killed, who.
he said. walked to his bedside and
sat with him an hour after mid
night. The stouthearted bride mar.
ried in firm expectation of the ghostly
vigil at her couch and, according to
her sworn evidence in court, elected
incidentally in the trial of another
case and in the presence of an audi
ence of Mortified stiffened and breath
less mountain people, she was not dis
appointed. She swore that regularly
every night the murdered man kept
his tryst, and that she and her groom
lay awake and looked at him. 1t was
another man of this same neighbor-
hood who committed a murder and
undertook to dismember and hide the
body of his victim. He told his friend
that while he was carrying the sew
cred head in a bag over his shoulder
across certain wide hill where the
broom hedge was growing in the late
autumn, the head suddenly began to
whistle a tune which was a favorite
with the dead man.
What morbid poet or romancer
could conceive more CHASTITY thought
than this--the severed head emitting
suddenly the whistling Of lively
tune, on a bleak broom hedge hillside
in the solitude of an autumn midnight
with the moon looking coldly down?

Foundation Skirts.

1t is still preferred by many that
the foundation skirt shall be of the

A soft gray chiffon voile formed one OF

The Value of Appearance.

No woman is so good, intellectual.
or beautiful that she can AFFORD TO be
careless in her dress.
No women, If she would be of in
fluence, 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
10 her family. is not only Indifferent
to her power but is lazy, and shirking
her duty besides.

POLKA DOTS TO RIVAL CHECKS.
One Of the Characteristic Decorations
Of the Summer.

Polka dots are rivaling stripes and
checks as the characteristic decora-
ton of the summer. They are to be
seen on every sort of material and on
all sorts of accessories to the toilet.
There are among the new materials a
great variety of polka dot chiffon in
all the colors, the design being formed
OF all sizes of polka dot. Some of the
cbiffons are white with colored polka
dots and some are in the pale tints
with darker polka dots. There are al
so many patterns showing dark
grounds with lighter dots, and moth
ing is more fashionable than the
black grounds with white polka dots.
unless it be the white grounds with
black polka dots. In fact, in the polka
dot effects, as in the checks and
stripes, the black and white combipa-
tion seems 10 be the most satisfactory.
Most of the chiffons which have a col
ored design on a white ground have a
plain band of color around the foot,
the gown being made of bordered
chiffon, which is used for this pur-

Mistaken Economy.

It is a waste of money TO ever buy
cheap embroidery silk. Too much
time and nerve force is put on even

TO run the risk of having it ruined at

is an abomination, and most of the
cheaper silks are liable to that defect.
