Laundering Summer
Dresses.
BY BEATRICE CAREY.

The thin white dress seems always as
ISOLATED with the idea of summer and
it always looks well, whether worn by
young or old, and moreover goes with
any coloring. Save for very dressy occa-
sions, these garments may seem an un-
wise investment to the ultra-practical
woman, as they become easily soiled-
Something of the first bloom disappears
after the visit to the cleaners and the
process Of washing Is supposed to be Inn
possible.
However, If the washing Is properly
done the material need not suffer in the
least. Then the short skirts, which are
worn now, remove one potent cause of
soil, and even the heavy lace gowns,
which have such a rich effect in ecru
and deep cream, will wash beautifully in
borax water with some good white soap.
Women who expect to have their gowns
last over into the next season will find
1t an excellent idea to have the lace
ripped off and washed at the end Of the
season before putting It away or having
1t remodelled in the fall fashion, as the
case may be.
This heavy lace should be washed in
boiling water that contains four table
spoonfuls Of borax to a tub of water.
Soap should not be rubbed upon 1t direct
ly, but should be made into suds first,
and should be good white soap. The first
rinsing water should contain one table,
spoonful Of borax to a tub of water. The
water should be warm and ought NOT
to be wrung out from the thin materials
or lace; they should be squeezed and
shaken. The heavy lace can either be
pressed on the wrong side with a hot
iron, taking care not to pull or stretch
1t out Of shape, or 1t may be pinned
down on top of sheet and spread out
and stretched.
Nearly all Of the thin lawns, muslins,
and organdies, If washed in this way,
without much rubbing, will not suffer
from laundering; indeed, they seem to
come out with an added daintiuess. Care
must be taken, OF course, in the choice
of the lace that is to go on the wash
able dress, for some lace is very perish
able. 1t is unlikely that the procesa
need be gone through more than once
or twice in a season, and these white
dresses are capable of surviving many
washings. 1t is the rubbing that wears
out and destroys delicate fabrics, and
the cleaning without friction makes the
frock last much longer
The cheaper cotton fabrics nearly all
wash well-lawn, domestic argandle, dot
ted swiss and mercerized muslin can be
done up each week, and with ordinary
care and the least possible rubbing they
will come out looking like new.

Men Successful But
Not Great.
John D. Rockefeller.

Certainly the richest yet probably the
poorest man In the United States is that
one Cartoonists delight to label "oily
John" He Is at once the most powerful
and most powerless Of persons. A Sphinx,
A Jekyle and Hyde that Is one moment
q senile, religious grandpap the next mo-
ment the business world knows a man
behind a mask with grip of steel.
OF certainty, he is one of the most
successful men on earth, but Is he great2
Has he made good? Can he? One does
not have to be his enemy to brand him
as failure In all the essentials of hui
manity and citizenship. Painters of word
pictures have been busy as well as carica-
turists. Famous descriptions of Rookie
feller are: Money mad Sane In every
other respect, but money mad. The late
Mark Hanna.
This the Oldest man on earth-a living
mummy"
IAN Indian with a tommyhawk."
Dead, dead like devilfsh."
"Under his silk scull cap he looks like
an old monk Of the inQuisition such as
one sees In Spanish picture galleries."
1t is unnecessary to note the physical
harm he has done. His damage to our
national morals is bad enough. He can
not even give away a 1.-THE of his for
tune without doing damage. When given,
It makes great institutions become "apolo-
gists' and loud defenders of the donor.
So, 1t is not as a mere monstrosity-a
money machine-that John d. Rockefel-
ler draws censure. While his great com
pany was fathering the trusts, he, as the
preeminent type of the great churchgoer,
the Sunday saint and weekday satyr, has
been emtilated widely by great business
men. So engrained did this hyrecr!sy be
come that they could not realize that
grating was stealing, nor could under
stand that 1t was the public's business.
Thus Rockefeller without ideals or per-
sonality himself, has managed to impress
himself wickedly on our business char
acter.
Possessed of but two ambitions to be
very old and very rich, he has now
rounded the sixty-eight mark. He is
achieving both, but his face is not mask
enough to hide the fact that 1t is one of
the most pitiful, pathetic on earth-the
tinge of pathos never leaves. He knows
he is failure In all worthy things.

Trade Talks.
The Government Clerk.

In European countries the clerks In the
government employ usually form the foun-
dations for the bureaucracy, but though
they are quite as numerous in this coun-
try, they do not exert so much influence
as whole While political interference
is to be found to large extent, a strict
civil service places government employ
within the reach of the ambitious young
man in the tlniest hamlet
Will conscientious young fellow Of
average ability, by strict application to
thI business at hand, by loyalty and
honesty for 10 years in the government
service, reach the same level he would in
the ordinary business feld2 Will advance
ment and money reward come to him
with equal facility7 One is compelled
to say that 1t does not-though dozen
exceptions to this dictum might be noted.
But the civil service Is improving, the
opportunities are improving, and the day
of the young man Is at hand. The gov
ernment Is at last waking up to a policy
that corporations and business men have
been following from time immemorial, |.
e., promoting Its executives from the
ranks. At the present time not the very
largest proportion of those who hold I'm
portant government positions, In the pos
tai or other services in Washington, the
cities of the land, and in the Philippines
are those who have risen from the low
rungs Of the ladder.
By future indications a government ca
reer should be attractive to the average
young man. If he has personality and
backbone he will rise promptly to his
proper reward; If he has the jellyhsh per-
sonality, and Is not capable of CONNER
cial strife. 1t will also be a good thing
for him-even If bad thing for the gov
ernment. In government clerkdom he can
become 'cog in the machine" and grind
on placidly until he gets gray hair and
a pension.
The pay is good at the start; the stan
dard of the examinations always being
held in the principal cities is not overly
high; the influence of politicians Is being
reduced to a minimum; the opportuni-
ties cover practically every field of en-
deavor, from stenographer to engineer.
While the employe is more or less of a
soldier, being amenable to call to any
section. it is usually quite easy for de-
termined young man to land in his own
locality, and remain there.

sirable II ones blouses are made at home,
or by ones dressmaker.
For wear with the tailored linen and
serge suits, these plain tucked blouses of
thin linen, dimity, lawn or batiste are
very attractive, and an adjustable frill

gives an added touch of distinction. Some

A Seasonable Service

1t Is at this season of the year that
paperhangers take possession of the house,
after their work is completed there is q
little service that the master of the house
can perform-an aid to the housewife in
her unending fight to keep the house
spotless.
Common wallpaper may be made wash
able by applying this solution either be-
fore or after the paper is hung. Dissolve
two parts borax and two parts shellac in
twenty-four parts water, and strain
through a fine cloth. Apply to the paper
with brush or a sponge and when dry,
polish to high gloss with a soft brush.

The New shirtwai.t Box.

A new piece of bedroom furniture that
is practical as well as novel is the chest
of shirtwaist boxes, Of which picture
is shown herewith. The ordinary shirt
waist box is not particularly new. They
have been seen for some time in the
smart shops, with the box covered with
cretonne, which, however, quickly be-
comes soiled If 1t Is continually handled
ugly.
The success OF this chest OF boxes h
the use of sanitas for covering. Sanitas
is made now in the daintiest colorings
and very pretty designs, and can be read
fly cleansed when soiled. The various
articles for the toilet table such as the
glove box, the handkerchief box, etc,
may be covered with sanitas In the same
way. The chest illustrated was covered
with sanitas In an allover rosa pattern
in soft and agreeable tones
