popular. Brown is a favorite shade

fashion Is such an exceedingly pretty
one. Upon the simple costumes there
can be expended very nearly as much
time and money as the elaborate dress
calls for and as the simpler model
the more perfect it must be in detail
one can rarely save anything in the
price of the costume, but there is al
ways the consciousness of the innate
worth OF the gown. which is sure to
be an unspeakabie solace to any one
who can afford to have expensive
gowns and to whom only severe lines
and apparently simple designs are be-
coming. There is no material which
so quickly shows good results from
just little embroidery as does ponEee,

M THAT with the natural seasons
OF the year ard the innumer-
w able minor seasons decreed by
the fashionable and social
world. together with the constant
ranges OF temperature in this climate
OF ours. It is indeed a dificult task to
keep the wardrobe always complete and
up TO date. Although one style OF dress
may serve more or less throughout two
or three months, it IS nevertheless
necessary TO have at hand a definite
style OF costume for almost every fort
night in the year AS silks and voiles
are most suitable for April and the
early part OF May, so rajah and Burmah
cloth and all kinds OF pongee, as well
as linen, taffeta and all such medium
weight textures make the best sort of
costumes for this somewhat between
season-before July heat calls for ba-
tiste, lawn ana dainty mousseline
frocks.
The different grades and kinds Of
pongee-for rajah, Burmah and a num-
Der OF other such weaves can all be
elsssed with pongee suitings-are all
used for great variety Of purposes,

Attractive Jumper Frocks

~ -
On the order of the suspender frock
there has been introduced this year the
SO called jumper dress, made either in
one or two pieces over a detachable
guimpe or bodice of lace and lingerie.
With little bolero this makes a most
attractive suit for hot weather, and in
no material is 1t so useful as in pom
gee. Unless laid in thick folds or
tucks and lined with silk. pongee is
one of the coolest materials of it's kind
wear than either silk or linen. The
jumper dress may be made with a skirt
that Is quite plain, while the part above
the waist is elaborately tucked and en-
broidered, or else the pongee is left
altogether plain and relieved by straps
of embroidered silk. The little bolero
makes the dress more appropriate for
travelling or for wear In city, while
in hot weather 1t can be dispensed
with, and the white guimpe, being sepa-
fresh and neat. For really simple
shirt waist gown pongee is also at
tractive. Just a narrow square or
round yoke, with a narrow lace cuff
at the elbow or wrist, will trim 1t
sufficiently, and it is really better to
have as little as possible lace and
furbishing upon 1t.

fact that a rather elaborate dress is

CONDITIONS NOT AS BAD
AS REPORTS INDICATE
o. T. Peterson Denies That Residents
of North Dakota Have Suffered
-BIames the Railways.

That the conditions that have been
reported about the suffering from the
cold want of fuel and provisions in
North Dakota towns are untrue. was
emphatically declared today by o. T.
Peterson of Sheyenne, \. ID. Mr.. Pc
terson was formerly of this city. but
now resides in the district from which
these reports have been coming. Mr..
Peterson. while talking to reporter
today, said that the reports were eX-
aggerated to great extent. He says
that the people are becoming alarmed
on account of the fuel shortage. but
there had been no deaths reported from
starving or freezing. He said that the
shortage in fuel was due to the rail
road companies not moving the large
amount of grain on hand and sending
in supply of coal. He says that
there are about 10000 bushels of wheat
standing in piles in some of the towns
near Sheyenne that have not been NOV
ed by the railroad company. The cause
he claims is not the shortage of cars
because the company always has about
80 cars standing on the sidetracks.
