The bodice was cut out back and front
to show yoke OF very fine batiste en-
broidery, the undersleeves also being of
batiste and embroidery to match. White
soutache braid was used to form the de-
sign which trimmed the bodice, the CEN
tiers of the flower forms in the design
being cut out and then filed in with
fancy lace flshnet which comes for the
purpose. This soutache braidlng can be
put on very quickly, and is much ensler
than any sort of embroidery. This braid
ing is much seen this season on a great
many materials and is especially liked for
linen and heavy cotton fabrics.

Investing Your Savings Bonds Of City.

In former talks on bond investments.
the value of the municipal bond was but
lightly touched upon, but this inattention
indicates no disparagement of a bond that
really comes closer to the average man
than any other sort of investment If a
citizen puts his money in municipal
bond he knows that he will receive a two
fold benefit. For instance, the loan of
that money in the aggregate Is helping
the city to build a sewer, erect a great
public building or pave a street,-and he
is sharing In city's betterment not for
getting the very material fact that he Is
drawing interest on his money.
The Government bond has been cried
from the housetops to be the safest in'
vestment on earth-it pays, however,
very small rate of interest-and for that
reason offers little inducement for the in
weston The second step in this ladder Of
stability is held by the municipal bond
or city's promise to pay-which Is the
nearest approach to 1t.
No city, however rich, is above the con-
slant need of borrowing money, and like
corporations it must borrow 1t by the
bond method. Unlike railroad and cor

paper offices have a great many openings
for the right kind of men, though they

he has been the physician and nurse to
every one of the greater combinations
with perhaps but two exceptions, Stand

Mr.. Morgan is perhaps the most Gull
tivated of all the American millionaires,
but the ordinary observer would hardly
note its presence. for to the world he
is brusque and domineering to the ex-
tent of absolute vulgarity. In person he
presents striking figure even at the
age of seventy. He towers arrogant; his
voice usually harsh, rasplng and nerve
racking. His one weakness is perhaps
clothes-and the English tallors of Re-
gent Street keep him attired in glaring
waistcoats. He has done, however, much
to dispel the foreign idea of the million
aires vulgarity. His millions are being
spent on art objects that go to enrich
the Metropolitan Museum of art; he
owns six costly libraries and reads their
contents!
One peculiar thing about Morgan's
business principles may with profit be
absorbed by the general reader. When
forming the ship trust, the steel trust
and other great consultations, Morgan
usually demanded and received cash for
his services, taking only a minimum
commission in stock. The solidity of
the house of Morgan is a shining ex-
ample of the benefit of cash business,
whether one is dealing in millions or In
shoestrings.

poration bonds the city does not have to
stoop to mortgaging municipal property to
secure this Indebtedness. 1t offers instead,
its civic reputation (Which has never been
repudiated) and the taxes upon the prop
erty within Its limits City bonds also
have this important advantage-they are
absolutely exempt from taxation as long
as the owner lives in the state which con-

American cities, are so sturdy and resili-

affect the interest and value of municipal
bonds. Even the graft and extravaganza
Of politicians seem impossible to impair
them. In the case Of Galveston, wiped out
by flood, there was slight reduction Of
interest for five years, which bondholders
gladly volunteered; In San Francisco, the
earthquake caused not the slightest hitch

For the summer home, instead of buy
ing costly curtains of silk or brocade,
very effective and graceful curtains Of
grass cloth or, arras, may be made by
hand, even by comparatively inexpe-
rienced needlewomen. These materials
are quite inexpensive, and can be had in
any desired colorings. The soft, dull
greens, browns and coppers are among
the most popular shades, though the
curtains made from tan or deep cream
fabric, with the designs in contrasting
colors, are excellent.
The curtains should be cut full enough
to hang In straight. graceful folds, and
finished with ten-inch hem and casing
wide enough to run easily on a rod. If
both sides are to be exposed, as when
used between two rooms, the curtains
should be double.

been wrecked by bad management, and

voile was the material chosen, the bodice
having a straight klmono sleeve and

which were finished with an inch and

buttonholed In dark blue silk and crisis
crossed in n spider web were placed
slanting along the surpice crossing of
the front, three of these rings with silk
loops being used across the top of each
sleeve. The yoke was of allover German

threaded with a narrow blue velvet rib
