PRESIDENT ADVISED;
CHILD GOT FORTUNE

PITTSBURG, PA, June 16-(Spe-
ciaD Peach alley, a narrow, squalid
little thOrOughfare in the hill district
home of the poorer Russians, is be-
side itself with joy tonight. Because
he took the written advice of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and permitted a
wealthy relative in Memphis, Tenn, to
take charge of his little motherless
daughter Rosie, Haimen Shelter, a
poverty tobacco ''buncher" in
a cigar factory here, living in Peach
alley, is happy today in the knowledge
that his daughter, who is eight years
old, has inherited $4,000.
Shelter had to pass the hat in Peach
alley this evening to raise the price of
a ticket to Memphis to get his little
daughter and her money, but it is safe
to say that if the Republican national
convention were held in the alley, in
stead of in Chicago, Taft wouldn't have
a Iook-in 1t would be all Roosevelt.
Some years ago the young wife of
Shelter died, and when Mrs. Margaret
Schaeffer, the Tennessee relative re-
ferred to, offered to take the child to
her Southern home and educate her,
the father hesitated between love and
duty. In his perpleXity he wrote to
President RoOevelt explaining the Cir
cumstances and asking what he should
do He received reply from Mr..
Roosevelt advising him to permit the
child to go until he could see his way
to take care of her himself.
He is a great and good President,
that Mr.. Roosevelt good man-and
we will all vote for him in Peach al
ley" said Shelter this evening.

REVIVAL OF WEAR
OF SOFT FOULARDS
Description of Methods of
Making.

NEW YORK, June 16.-(SpeciaD -
1t is a comfortable fact that nice,
serviceabIe fabrics are in fashion for
this summer Cotton wolfe is really
a revival of an old fabric under an
other name, but never perfected as
now
The thin silk mohairs that we con-
sidered old fashioned for so long are
again to the front, and have quite a
smart air, and, most grateful of all,
is the revival of soft fOulards
This fabric has the slight twill in
it which marked its beginning, and
which gives it good wearing quality.
1t has not a great variety of design,
but it is in all manner of charming
colors.
The little sprig of white which we
have always had with us is really
not in first style, but it is not objec-
tionableI The better choice is the
polka dot or the wafer in varied sizes
on a solid ground.
These silks are not expensive like
the choicest pongees and taffeta and
messaline, yet they are admirable for
all manner of summer wear.

How FOulards Are Made

There are a variety of ways in
which to fashion a foulard The
material is dressy enough to be
made with a long skirt and trimmed
with lace or embroidery for afternoon
and informal evening wear; but it
can also be made in a simple shirt
waist style for office for train or for
shop.
1t is very good choice of frock
for the wage Garner, as it is cool.
does not easily soil and lasts a season
without splitting as taffeta does
The gray tones in it, with black
sprig or dot, should not be used
for everyday wear. These should be
kept for dressy occ asions. Sapphire
blue, any of the tones of dark green
| and black with a white dot, are
good.
The jumper style is still in fashion
! but it requires a constant supply Of
| fresh guimpes or blouses. 1t cal

Do Not Need Lining

While they are quite soft, it is not
necessary to make them up with a
lining. When the latter is put in, it
relegates the frock to cool days. Tight
Innings are not bearable through the
summer in this climate.
However, if one is apt to moisten
the material it is wise to put in a
body lining of thh1 white muslin.
Some women haste this in at neck and
arms, so if can be detached and sent
to the wash. Others have the whole
frock washed whenever it becomes
sOiled or spotted.
The skirt is better without a lining,
following the fashion of all skirts
these days 1t can be worn over
white petticoats, or if they are too
expensive for everyday wear because
of the laundry it is quite possible to
get a small-priced silk petticoat that
can be worn all summer.
The ready-made ones are cheaper
than those made at home, because
most of them are full at the waist
line and held in with draw strings.
These must be removed now, as even
a careless woman can't afford to
wear that bunchiness around her
waist line.

TAFT SAID TO FAVOR
LOCAL OPTION METHOD

BURLINGTON, N. j., June 10
Secretary Taft's position on local
option is satisfactory to friends of the
movement in this country. Norman
B. Hoffman wrote to the Secretary of
War calling his attention to asser-
tions of representative of the liquor
interests to the effect that Mr.. Taft
was opposed to the principle of local
option, and that prohibition would
not settle the liquor question.
In his reply Mr.. Taft quotes his
own addresses before the Pennsyl-
vania Bar Association and the stu
dents of Yale University. He said:
In this class of laws affecting the
sale of liquors legislators have devils
ed a method of local referendum call
ed local option, which has worked
we'll because it is practical.
1T may be impossible by general
referendum for the people at large
understandings to pass upon the
framing of complicated legislation and
to reach a satisfactory result; but
upon the simple issue whether sa-
looms shall be prohibited in a parti-
cular community, it is entirely easy
for the local public clearly to consider
the issue and decide it. When it has
expressed it's opinion in the atfirma-
tive the question of the practical oper-
alton of the law is thereby removed
from the discussion.
by a popular vote in favor of pro-
hibition it is made certain that the
executive officers elected by that To-
cal community will zealously carry
out the law and that iuries selected
from the vicinity will do their duty
as required by the statute.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar.
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

GETS DOLLAR BILL
REGULARLY EACH JUNE

COLUMBUS, IND, June 16-(Spe-
ciaD John Gaffney, blacksmith of
this place has just received a dollar
bill through the mails, and while
he has been receiving like remittances
on or about June 4 for the past 20
years he is unable to learn the source
from which they come. The money is
always inclosed in an envelope, which
is postmarked Columbus, Ind, and
name and address is always in the
same handwriting No signature or
written word of explanation accom-
panies the Enclosure.
Twenty-Five years ago a burglar en-
tered Gaffney's home on June A and
stole 800 and he thinks the thief
who has possibly become conscience
stricken, is taking this method of
making good the amount of his
theft on the installment plan. For
the first eight years after he began
receiving the money the amount in
closed was 81 each year.
