THE WHITE LINEN
PARASOL EVER POPULAR.

Even though the world is filled with
the loveliest parasols this season that
were ever invented, it is possible that
for every day use the heavy, undyed
linen takes the lead.
1t is large, it has a bamboo handle.
and the linen Is plainly stretched over
the frame and ornamented o the
edge with a wide inset band OF ecru
linen lace.
Some of the sunshades do not even
boast the lace. Instead the initials or
the owners name are worked in q col
ored or ecru floss at the hem.
These letters can be bought at the
~table-linen counter and applied to the
parasol with a buttonhole stitch.
The best handles are of plated scent
cd grass such as the Indians use to
make baskets, Of bamboo, maple and
euyzs wood.

upon the handsomest gowns seen. On
one dress of Oriental rough silk pongee,
the surplice waist was made entirely
of coffee brown fish net, the net was
arranged to fall at the back like a
wide coat, ending at the knee line. A
panel of fish net was placed at the
pack of the sweeping length skirt. This
threw the net arrangement in graceful
outline upon the pongee foundation.
All outlines of net bore a light toned
yellow embroidery. z
Select a fine chiffon wolfe, have the
yoke made of cream silk applique,
edged with yellow satin passementerie
to correspond with the cream waist
material. Sleeves and yoke should
match. Have the sleeves made quite
long, closely fitted to the lower half of
the arm, with well-rounded points upon
the hand. This can be made with a
high-shaped girdle to match the skirt.
An ideal morning dress should be
typical IF almost Puritanical simplicity
and should consist of a plain skirt, say
one of seven or nine cores. with a cry
narrow belt. Should the waist be of
like material have the fulness of the
upper portion stitched to q straight
strip along the shoulder seam, n make
the front pleat the same width as the
shoulder strap. If the dress is merely
for a work dress, 1t should be furnished
with short sleeves, but for a more
dressy affair sleeves should be long
and a dainty lace or ribbon jabot worn
with the stand-up collar.

AN ORIGINAL IDEA.

Take a small basin and over the out
side with q double thickness of coarse
flannel. and, having soaked it in water,
invert it on a saucer or plate containing
water, so that it may be kept damp.
On the flannel sprinkle as much flax
seed as will adhere to il, and stand the
whole in a lark place. till the seeds have
terminated. Then bring it to the light,
and if you replenlsh the water as it
evaporates you will, in about three
weeks, have a charming mass of ver-
dure %concealing the flannel, and your
patch of fax will give you as much
pleasure as many far more ambitious
table ornaments, and will have cost you
almost nothing. Instead Of flax you may
use clover and grass seed. If you pre-
fer It.

He Calls on Other Girl


Dear Miss Doom:
l am a young man of q years. I
have been going out with a young lady
since last winter. whom I like very
much, and whom I hope to marry be-
fore long. While going with her, and
before I made known my intentions to
her, 1 called on other girls and went
out with them occasionally. Do you
think it would be wrong If I should
continue to do this? The young lady
l am interested in does not live in
the city. L am sure she accepts no
attentions from any other young men.
DOUBTFUL.
You would certainly be very unfair
to the young lady If you continue to go
out with others, efter you have asked
her to marry you. She has a right to
expect as much of you as you do of her
in the matter of accepting attentions
from others. If you have any regard
for right and wrong deal with her as
you would like to be dealt with.

Care Of the Feet in Summer Time.

Care OF the Feet in Summer Time.
Sufferers from corns or sensitive feet
always dread hot weather. as feet are
peculiarly susceptible to climatic
changes.
One woman who has had trouble with
a corn and callous places on the soles
of her feet for years says that she was
always uncomfortable from the time
spring began, until she learned to use
wet congresses. s
Whenever her feet began to sting and
lJurn or her corn got sharp twinges she
would tie up her feet in cold congresses
over night.
To make them she wrung out Of Ice
water thick Turkish wash cloths and
folded them in double folds over her
feet. Over them she placed dry towels
and a thin piece of rubber to shut In
the moisture and prevent the bed from
getting damp.
In the morning the corn and callous
spots were free from pain and soft
enough to have the tops lifted out. The
congresses were worn for two or three
nights, until the entire trouble was re-
moved.

The papers in half a dozen suits were returned to-day to the office of the superior court.
 Mrs Emma Strobel Curran has sued her brother, George J. Strobel, for $2,50O, and an attachment of $3,500 was made in the case. She claims that on February 8, 1905, George owed the above amount to their brother the late Christian Strobel, and the money was lent George to pay his taxes and insur- ance. Some time before Christian died he assigned the claim against George to his sister and she sets up that she has been unable to collect it from him.

 Her sister, Jane, was one of those who were killed. Suit for damages of $5,000 was brought by Kate, an- other sister, an administrative on the estate of Jane. The bringing of these suits indicates on the part of the at torneys, Burpee and Carmody, be- lief that jury will give them dam ages for more than $4,OO0 the amount offered by the railroad com pany in settlement of the cases. Suits for about $50,000 damages have grown out of that terrible accident and it is unknown how much 1t has already cost the company in settle ment of cases for injuries.

COASTnNG ACCIDENT
Frank Ney Dragged Along by
 Ripper Now at Hospital.

As the result of coasting acci- dent on Wolcott street yesterday af- tarnoon about 5:3O o'clock, Frank Ney, the 13 years old son of MT and Mrs Michael Ney of 63 Union street, is at the Waterbury hospital in q serious condition. His recovery is doubtful, as tho boy is suffering from Il bad concussion and injuries to the neck.
 Ney was struck by double ripper owned by Forest Harvey of Niagara street. Harvey did not have the rlp- per at tile time, but some of hls friends were out on the hill, which at present is i'll excellent condition Tor coasting. It was right at Marley's alley, near ex-Alderman Noonan' house that the ripper, going at fast clip, struck Ney with much force. It dragged him along for about fifty feet, the rope ill some manner tWlst- ing around the boys body.
 He was picked up ill front Of Dun phys saloon, and carried into the residence of John E .Maher, across the way. The boy was unconscious and seemed badly hurt. Dr I. J. Me- Larney was summoned, and after making the injured youth as comfor- table as possible, had him removed to the Waterbury hospital.
 Wolcott street is one of the best Ill the city for coasting, and although several minor accidents have occurred there in past years, that of yester- day was the first really serious one ln years. The slide down after one pass es Howard street, is straight course, and it seem strange how an accident could occur where it did The few accidents. that have happened on the hill occurred near the curve above Howard street. Harvey's ripper is one of the fastest ill the city, and for the past few years 1t has vied with Morgan's big racer for the supremacy of the east end. It is strongly built and considering the speed it must have had when it struck Ney, It IS a wonder that the boy was not almost instantly killed.
 Although the ripper which struck Ney yesterday is hummer, it is not nearly the equal in size of the rippers which in by gone years used to fly down Wolcott street. Billy Me Carthy, the present fireman, the Daily Brothers, "Archie" Henderson, the Morgan Brothers, Harry Bucking- ham and few others had rippers out there which would go like the wind. They would start above Niagara street and go almost to William street, about half mile ride. And all though the street at that time was fairly alive with coasters, even trivial accidents were few and far between,
