Judge Frank R. Milwee, chair man of the Democratic State Gen. tral Committee, has raised a very pretty point over the time a vot- CT has to secure his poll tax re- ceipt. As county judge of Mon- roe county. he held that the first Monday in July was the last date upon which the certificates could be secured, and thus allowed 600 citizens to vote on tn proposi- tion of removing the county seat. State Auditor Moore says the statute plainly sets the day for the securing of poll tax receipts, and as the law is a bit cloudy and allows of different interpretation the attorney general will proba- bly, be called on to straighten out the tangle.

The little fable Of Red Riding Hood

The hood when not on the head, falls

and shows, as a striking bit Of con-
5tTast. the lining Of crisp Persian tafeta
which enlivens the plain effect OF the
sweep Of brOadclOth.
The typical Red Riding cloak is, of
course, scarlet and when in broadcIoth
of that vivid color is perhaps more
stunning though not so generally be
coming nor of such adaptability for all
gowns as the white brOadcloth lined in
Persian cOlOrs. or the peach messaIine
whose lining IS Of the same shade Of
tafeta.
Red cords with ends finished with tas-
sells of the same color fasten the scar

in turn shows the tiny white suede or

Great Care Necessary.
II there is a drop OF old milk left IN
the bottle when it is relied, il will
prove disastrous. AS soon as a baby
finishes with a bottle, the remains should
be emptied, and II should be stood IN
cold water, which prevents the milk
from drying on the glass.
When It IS washed It is put into very
hot water and a brush made for the
purpose is used inside and outside.
After this it should be rinsed in more
bot water and then IN boracic water. 1.

Linen Top Goats for Young Girls
Proper Thing for Cool Fall Days

Young girls at the summer resorts
have copied the artistic linen busters
in short straight coats, 10 be worn for
outings and for cool weather days.
They have also gone down the line
until they have reached the children s
department, where brilliant effects
with Ire natural color as the founda-
ton have be en- worked out.
One young girls coat made Of an
extra coarse grade Of rough linen is
trimmed with bright turkey red cot
ton.
It is single-breasted, cut OF a few
inches below hips. is fastened with
army buttons and has immense revers
running from shoulder to hem of the
material with a two-inch binding OF
turkey red.
There is a high military collar of the
material with a wide, sweeping turn
over Of red, and the sleeves, which
reach to the wrist, have four-iqCh
gauntlet cuffs OF linen with wide bind
tngs OF the crimson.
There are four pockets, two deep ones
below the wrist with wide red flaps
fastened with gilt buttons. and two
small ones at the bust without flaps.
A very clever coat for a little girl
was made up OF this rough linen IN
Empire effect. with q bOX-plaited back,
single breasted in front, and three
capes cut circular and running 10 the
high waist line in points back and front
Two of these were OF the linen, but
the center one was of bright apple
green. There was a high turnover col
lar on this made Of the green, tied in
front with a rosetts and ends of bright
green taffeta ribbon four inches wide.
Under the arms around the figure
was a narrow green leather belt run
through slides of natural linen. and
fastened in front with a slender buckle
of green kid.
Wide Uses for Wash Net

SHEER TURNOVER COLLAR.

Since the hot weather began there has
come out a very pretty rival to the low
Puritan collar 1t is either attached to
the shirt waist or, better STILL buttoned
to it.
1t is cut on the fashion OF the regular
stiff linen turnover collar. except that
the part that rolls over is wider and has
slightly pointed ends.
The foundation is as high as one
wants it and to the top edge of this is
the turnover part of sheer organdie
or dotted Swiss. The edges are finished
with narrow ruffles Of Valenciennes or
cluny lace.
Even the foundation is quite sheer,
double in thickness, and carries very lit
tie starch. 1t is fastened to the neck
band, when detached, back and front
and under its whole width is tied a
broad cravat of colored satin ribbon,
ending in a fiat bow in front.

WITH SPREADING WINGS,
THEY LOOK WELL.

Among the new trimmings coming IN
for midsummer hats is a group Of
swallows. These are used with wings
outspread on all kinds OF hats Hardly
less than six are placed, and sometimes
ten
They are black and small, and are
often put with the heads resting on the
briu, and the wings and tails outspread
against the crown.
one of the best looEiaENIinge-ie hats
made IN the Charlotte Corday style IS
OF dotted white net and against the full
crown rest ten swallows, put close to

The only other touch Of trimming is a
TakISn bow or leaf green satin ribbon
perched NO at the left side.
tt is doubtful whether these small
swallows will look well on felt hats, but
they are extremely pretty on all the
heaGgear made OF light materials which
viii be worn from now until October.
