MIDSUMMER FASHIONS.
The Season For Variation In Reign
ing Styles.

/ ing SLyleS-
/ Just now it is between seasons, and
about the only new things TO be found
IRE the variations on the breteIle or
| jumper suits, and there are too many
| OF these to be profitable, so far as Civ
| ing a complete description of them is
concerned. but a few may be spoken
Of in detail, particularly as most wom-
EN- make these for themselves. There
are some made Of Persian vesting
| bound with some kind of fancy braid.
| Others are of the ever beautiful ehene
ribbon with the vague designs, but
these are not for ordinary outdoor
wear. They are for the decoration of
| the dainty white frocks to be worn at
garden parties, on the piazzas Of sum.
mer hotels and also for evening. ORR
entail embroidery finds place on some
of them, while others are made entire-
| Iy of messaline draped surplice fashion
over the dress they are intended to or
nament. Some very stylish ones are
made of coarse white linen embroid-
cred IN heavy relief. The edges are
scaIloped, and the tracery of vine or
flower is done in the wider spaces.
The belt should be of the same mate
| rial and should be embroidered to
match. with the edges scalloped.
The new fancy is for a kind of semi
kimono effect in the sleeves of some of
the prettiest jackets, coats and modi-
/ fed empire design. There is little
beauty or grace to these sleeves, as they
hang in lines altogether at variance
with any idea of fitness. Imagine a
short jacket where the garment itself
is small and scanty, with sleeves hang
| ing down and starting i'll ut about two
inches above the waist line This
makes them baggy and altogether un-
lovely. yet we find many Of them, the
| long coats carrying them better than
the short ones
| The amount Of ornament in the form
of lace, embroidery and fine braiding
that can be added to these garments is
astonishing. Some of the sleeves have
deep caps, which are really frills set
just over the arm scye and allowed to
droop over the sleeve. These have en-
broidery, braiding and in fact all sorts
of trimming, many of them being ar
ranged to lie along in folds like the
folds of a kimono at the neck. Elbow
or long sleeves may be worn with
these fancy caps.
AS to hats, no pen can do them jus
tice. They are SO very ugly in them
selves that all the beautiful garniture
set upon or built in under them fails to
make them lovely. And each takes the
angle that the wearer may find most
becoming. Thus we see hats set side
wise, turned back, to one side or the
other, bent into fittings, mashed down
fiat or curled up into half dozen
folds Some really deserve the ridicule
put upon them by the funny artists
who hang the hat to the very back Of
! the head. Some have fruits, Others
flowers, and many have very clever

DOCS That Worry

If you have ever seen a dog that has
lost its master In London street you
win wonder whether even the lower
animals have not the elements Of wor-

bones or masters, and the dog never
suffers from insomnia through fear OF

and reduced them to oil. they failed

them to lose money in fulfilling their

CLOSE VALVES.

''In about two more days we
will begin TO hear complaints
about cellars being filled with
water" said City Engineer l.. A.
Washington this morning. "At
the approaching stage of high
water the water is bound TO be
forced back into the sewer mains
and through the drain pipes into
the houses. People neglect to
close valves and this accounts
for most of the distress on such
occasions. There will be plenty
of water standing i'm cellars all
over the city and putting out
furnace fires. People should be
warned of such danger"

surveying the ground, with the view
of putting him forward when the
proper time comes.
This information is the cue for
former Mayor Lang. who also has a
desire to be identified with the next
administration, to start a counter
movement. and he is quietly setting
the woods on fire with the statement,
so it is said, that il former Mayor
Reed runs, he, former Mayor Lang.
will be a candidate before the Demo-
cratic primary.
It Is believed that former Mayor
Lang would much prefer that some
one else enjoyed the honors and emol-
uments and troubles and discomforts
Of the executive chair, but ne longs
to sit close to the throne His idea
Is, so It is understood, to puncture
the Reed boom rather than to make
the race personally, and If he sue
ceeds, we may hear of other names.
City Attorney Thomas Harrison
and Mr.. G. r. Davis are mentioned
for the position, but they do not
seem to be involved in the little
skirmish between the ex-mayors.

Judge James Breathitt Says

Hopkinsville's Great lawyer Is in
Paducah Today and Is Urged
for Governor.
IT MUST COME UNSOLICITED.

Judge James Breathitt, of Hopkins
Vile. who is most prominently men
toned in connection with the Repub-
lican nomination for governor, is in
the city on business. He was ap-
preached by many friends, who urged
him to make the race. To all of them
Judge Breathitt had the same an
swer:
81 am not seeking the nomination"
However, those most intimate
with him feel certain he would not
refuse the place.
"While / am not seeking the nom
nation" said Judge Breathitt in an
swer to direct questions, at is an
honor no man could lightly put
aside. / have always been ready to
aid my party, and if l was thought
the most available man, might CON
slider the race, but the nomination
would nave to come to me unsolicited.

letters from friends over the state

LIBRARY BOARD
WILL BE CRAMPED
Not Allowed as Much Money
as Charter Provides
should Receive Nearly Five Thou
sand, But is Cut Down by Gem
eral Council.
IMPROVEMENTS ARE NEEDED

With $500 less for its maintenance
this year than it received last year,
the Paducah public library will have
diflculty in getting through the year
unless some other department of the
city takes charge of some of its i'm
provements, or the money is obtained
for the work outside the apportion-
ment this year, $500. The board
asked for $4,000, just $500 more
than was received last year. The in
creasing demands on the institution,
following the growing patronage, re-
quires more money for books each
year.
In addition to new books, which
the board desires to purchase there
are 400 books completely worn out
that must replaced These books
have been rebound. Now the lnsides
of them are too far gone for repairs.
Unless the old books are replaced and
new ones added the library will go
down until there VIII be no books at
all.
Several hundred dollars must be
spent this spring on the alleyway be-
tween the building and the Grace
Episcopal church. The library COM
mittee wishes crushed stone and the
church committee vitrifed brick.
When the question of material is
agreed on The work will be done.
A concrete curbing around the IL
brary lot is needed, as the embank-
ment will be trampled down, and one
of the prettiest corners ruined other
wise. This will require several thou
sand dollars, but it Will likely be pro-
vided for.
The charter provides that the IL
brary shall receive three per cent Of
the school levy and one-half the mel
fines and costs in police court. AS
the school apportionment is $4,000
the library income from taxes should
be $500, while one-half of last years
police court fines would be S3,457.2S
making a total revenue of $4,447,2S
showing that the library board has
not asked for all it is entitled to
Under the Carnegie contract ten pei
cent should be levied which would
make the income about $1,000.

MAKE INCREASE
In PERSONALLY
Plan of Tax Book Supervisors
and Jewels, Luxuries, Motor
Boats and Automobiles Will
Be Assessed
REAL ESTATE TWO PER CENT

Estimates made by a member Of
the board of city tax book supervi-
sors on the total raise of the assess
ment over the figures OF Assessor
Stewart Dick, fix the raise at per
cent, but this does not mean that
the total raise from last year will
be this small. In many instances the
assessors figures have been increas-
ed, and because of the upholding of
values by the assessor, the board of
supervisors have had occasion to
make few changes.
Until the work of the supervisors
is finished, the actual raise over last
years assessment will not be known,
but It is said there will be more
personal property assessed this yeaI
than heretofore. In 1906 a list OF
taxable personal property was anony-
mously sent to the board of super
visors and was used by city and
county This STIRRED 'em up" g
bit, and this year full dozen Of gas
oline launches have been plying the
rivers about Paducah, Many new and
more expensive automobiles nave
been purchased, and these will go t.
swell the list, It is understood tina
the supervisors are looking closely
after personal property assessment
as many have escaped taxation b,
concealment of the possession of dia
monds, pianos and such propert!
hard to reach by the assessor.
