SMALL THING HE FORGOT.
May Have Accounted fer His Proposal
Being Turned Down.

Senator Beveridge described, at a
dinner, an absent-miaded farmer.
THE man was so absent-minded. J."
he said, that he couldn't open his
mouth without making an arrant ass
of himself
Once he courted a young woman.
His suit looked promising for a time.
Then, with a sorrowful visage, he
ceased his courtship.
Yet she seemed infatuated with
you. Jabez,' said 1, one day when he
came to me for sympathy.
She were, too,' Jabez agreed.
Well, what could have been the
trouble?'
Dunno said he He filed his
pipe. aiDunno; but when I perposed,
she turned me do1n cold
Perhaps your proposal wasn't ard
ent enough?' l suggested.

looked at, ever thought of, Or
But, said l, you forgot, then, you

SETS OFF AUBURN HAIR.
Jet Corcnet with Bands Makes Most
Effective Coiffure..

If your hair is golden brown or of
the color that lovers of fine writing
call "the Titan tint" which means it
is red, you may make it still more at
tractive by wearing a jet coronet with
bands of cut jet to weave in the puffs
on the back and sides. The hair must
pun out until the head resembles the
top of a rain barrel adorned with
hoops Of oakum. A woman of promi-
nence in Vanity Fair at a party the
other night confided to a friend that
three yards of cut jet trimming had
been needed to produce the striking
effect achieved in her coiffure. The
hair was waved and parted and came
down low on each side of her fore
head. Then came a wreath of puffs,
topped by the coronet of jet. Then
came monstrous braid of hair coiled
arouS1 the head, and in and out was
woven the cut jet. Close to the neck
was row of clinging ringlets, and
small jet-headed pins kept these en-
bellishments in place.
Barbour County index., 1908-07-15
Shirt Waist Suits That Attract.

The really modish woman has dis.
carded the shirt waist and separate
skirt in favor of the shirt waist suit.
Nothing jauntier is worn by modern
women than such a suit of linen or
duck. 1t is not the night-marish pony
jacket and sagging skirt, but suit as
carefully cut and put together as
though made of finest broadcloth.
Linen etamine is having a run and it
comes in every shade. The waists
make concession to the craze for
trimmings and many are of the most
intricate patterns Of Norwegian lace
work. Plated skirts seem to have
the center Of the stage, although they
are not so practical for wash goods.
These etamine or linen gowns look
simple and elegant, but one may get a
ball gown with flowing train and no
end of decorations for half the price
OF a strictly up-to-date and well con-
structed shirt waist suit. They make
big hole in the pin money.
Barbour County index., 1908-07-15

heavy weaves do not launder so well,
and they are anything but cool.
In color, all white and ecru are the
most dependable for Tubing, but this
year there are many charming tints
for the woman who can afford to pat
ronize a dry cleaner instead of a laun-
dress.
One of the smartest of the new
linen colors is, of course, copenhagen
blue and its near tints," both lighter
and darker. Some beautiful rose
pinks are shown, bordering on cerise,
and all the purplish tints like rasp-
berry, crushed strawberry, etc.
in the browns a golden tint without
a suggestion of red is the coolest of
all for summer wear, but ecru is bet
ter even than the darker tint. A
charming gray is offered which is
Barbour County index., 1908-07-15

neither pearl nor steel. but suggests a
bit Of silvery blue. 1t combines beau
tifully with white lace and is cool to
eye and touch.
Baby blue and lavender are bad col
ors for hard wear, as both show
streaks Of yellow under sunlight or
tubbirg. A few very stunning suits
Ccoats and skirts) are shown il black
linen, piped with white or black and
white and finished with white cuffs
and collars.
Also little of the tea-green linen
is shown for tailored suits, but the
popular novelties of the season are
the raspberry and gray linens.
In width these linens vary from 81
10 Sc inches, and the latter cuts to
best advantage, especially for circular
skirts. A good quality can be secured
for SO cents yard, and 10 yards will
make a stunning three epiece suit or
princess frock and loose coat
The very smartest touch on the
linen costume for midsummer is, of
course, this hand-embroidery in large,
sprawling, eXtravagant patterns, done
with meTcerized floss, always white,
whatever the tint of the gown And
with this embroidery are used quanti-
ties OF buttons, some covered with the
plain linen, others covered with cro-
cheting and still others. done in lace.
Very large buttons finish the coats,
medium-siZed buttons trim the skirt,
and tiny buttons appear on the trim
ming OF blouse, cuffs and collar.
The tailored suits are quite fire.
quently piped with a contrasting color,
and black and white striped fabric is
used with almost every tint, pale blue,
lavender, white, gray and black
Brown is piped with pure white or
ecru, and on nearly all the tailored
coats vest is suggested, if only with
a piping around the inside of the col
lar.
Our illustration shows a combina-
ton of raspberry linen, princess net
and white soutache, with matching
buttons, that is most pleasing
The seven-gored skirt is laid to give
panel effect over plaits, and then
soutache braid and buttons, both in
white, suggest that the panels are but
toned to the plaits. They are used in
the same way to suggest that the
blouse is buttoned to the plated side
pieces.
The chemisette and cuffs are OF
white princess net, and the deep-point-
ed opening in the blouse is outlined
by a conventional pattern done in
wash soutache.
The girdle should be made of the
raspberry linen, for white girdle
would detract from the wearer's
height. The net and braid and but
tons, all in white, give sufficient relief
from the rich hue of the linen.
