Many bargains may now be secured
in hats that will last ore until ready

black is so popular in hats, especial

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-The satin
slip is one Of the most necessary arti-
cles OF the summer wardrobe. It is
made in princess shape and fits the
figure perfectly. Not only is it tight
fitting but it is full in the bust and so
admirably planned that it is snug
cbout the hips and full around the
feet. 1t is handsome skip-tight gar
ment, perfectly plain from the neck
to the feet, where it's only trimming
is a group of ruffles which are set just
above the hem. To make the skirt
set out in correct fashion, there
should be six to eight tiny ruffles, each
ruffle edged with Valenciennes lace.
Almost all of the cotton and lin
gerie frocks are of the blouse and
skirt, though cut separately, are joined
at the waist line by some sort of waist
band or girdle as inconspicuous as
cossible. Under such frocks a firm
smooth fitting slip of silk or satin IS
really indispensable
There IS a change to be noted in
waist and skirt Innings. Materials are
for the most part of soft supple text
ure and for this reason demand a lin
inc having these qualities also. Again
the tendency is towards modes that
cling to the figure, that fall softly
about the wearer: therefore the stiff
taffetas that once were deemed so
necessary to a gown are replaced with
satins, soft China silks, lousines or
peau de soies. OF these the China silks
are the most admirable thing as yet
offered, though there is an effort being
made to manufacture taffeta with that
softness and clinging quality needed
for the gowns at present, but so far
none can come UP to the China silks.
For cotton or wool textures with a
not too open mesh, the fine batiste or
lawns are often used and may be in
white or q faint color. Some Of the
mercerized goods are delightfully."-
suggestive Of silk and for an inexpen-
sive gown VIII serve the purpose quite
as we'll as silk. Of these the lightest
and most supple quality should be
chosen.

can fleet. By force of circumstances
Melbourne is the temporary seat OF
government, until that day when the
dreams Of ideal federalists shall have
been realized and there shall have
arisen far away from civilization, in
the heart of the Australian forest, that
federal capital which is to Guido Wash
ington in its splendor and be forever
a lasting tribute to the jealousies of
interstate politicians.
The city, the seventh of the British
empire, with 100000 inhabitants, dates
back only as far as 1885, so that she
is not yet IS years old. Her history,
since the day when John Bateman,
having sailed his little schooner five
miles up the river Yarra, was prevented
from exploring further by rapids, and
on account of being blocked, wrote in
his diary: This will be the place for a
village" has been one of marvellous
such as the exodus to the gold fields
in 1851. the financial crash in 1891 and
ricultural losses reacted on the city;
but she has emerged from each period
of depression strengthened and reju-
venated, until today she stands as
lasting MONUMENT to the memory of
her pioneers and an ever increasing in
f1wence on Australian life.
She is really the headquarters Of Off
cal, social, commercial and political
life in Australia. She has, with sub
urbs. ann area of 255 square miles, am
is laid out in squares with splendid
streets and every modern convenience.
When it was announced that Ameri-
ca would send its whole battleship fleet
to the Pacific, Australia had no doubt
what it meant No matter what diplo-
macy might suggest as to the object
of the cruise, Australia was satisfied
that it meant that the Pacific would
not be permitted to become a Japanese
lake. and that the great northern re-
public was serving noice on the yellow
man that whatever England might
do, the United States was a Pacific
ocean power, that it proposed to pro-
tect its interest, and that incidentally
it did not intend to let he while man
be crowded out of the Far East.
Melbourne would have welcomed the
fleet under any conditions, but the
great universal welcome which the
American battleship fleet will receive
means more than mere hospitality 1t
means that Australia is greeting a
racial ally, and it means a rebuke and
a warning to the imperial motherland
to which Australians are fervidly 10y
al. but whose statesman Australians
have been trapped and tricked
by willy Orientals.

It has been found impossible to pro-

SOCIALIST DEPICTS
LIFE IN CITY JAIL
Mrs. cIoudesIey Johns Writes, Giving
Graphic Picture of Insanitary Con-
dltions, and Appeals to
the Public

Mrs. Cloudesley Johns, one of the
Socialists now In Jail for speaking on
the public streets without a license,
has sent out the following as descrip-
tive of her experiences there
Unless Chief Kern is a monumental
liar (ardently supported by the ma
irons Of the city jaiD it is distinctly
up to the city council to end this dis
graceful free speech agitation by re-
voking their ordinance and to correct
the criminally insanitary conditions of
the city jail by allowing funds suf-
ficient for that purpose.
"As matter of self preservation we
instituted general cleanup as soon as
we realized the inSanitdry conditions,
and on discovering the absolute impos-
sibility of making this vile hole safe
abode for human beings, because of
faulty construction as well as lack Of
necessary conveniences, we appealed
to Chief Kern for aid, pointing out the
lack Of sanitary arrangements and fur
nisllings for the preservation of public
health and morality.
"Chief Kern was most courteous and
kind, attending to the things within
his power, but he said: You are not
showing me anything l do not already
know--that is not known to the grand
jury and the city council. rAat the
|, general public may know of the things

and bad plumbing make it impossible
