In the new summer frocks of heavy
linen, oversleeve and sher4 ander-
sleeve effects are considerably used,
but one finds, too, long, moderately
close sleeves of the linen, trimmed up
the outside and at the wrist, or trim
med in cuff fashion half way to the ell
bow.
The Dutch neck fitted with such low,
broad collars of finely hand embroid
cred batiste or lawn as are in vogue
this winter will surely be popular for
simple summer frocks with women
who can successfully adopt these girl
ish modes, but the high transparent
collar or high stock shows no sign of
losing prestige.
Hand embroidery is as much in de-
mand as ever, and the new showing of
band f1ouncing, allover and motif en-
broideries is surprisingly beautiful
English eyelet WORK is greatly in evil
dence among the choicest of the early
showings, but it is of fine lacy charac-
ter and frequently combined with other
embroidery or lace. Wide bands of
this openwork embroidery in exquisite
ly intricate and fine design are dis
played in soft ecru as well as in white,
and lovely effects are obtained with
groundwork of the fine openwork done
in white, with scattered design of soft
blue, rose, green or lavender thrown
over it, or the eyelet work in color,
with the other embroidery in white
The new bordered materials of the
lingerie and linen classes make fire.
Quent use of these embroidery combi-
nations, and many of the chic bordure
effects have plain wide borders of deli
cate color joining the sheer white ma
terial under trailing embroidery de-
signs. One charming line of bordure
batistes has a white ground over
which at wide intervals are scattered
small embroidered dots of color, say of
pink. There is six-inch border of
plain pink headed by embroidery in
soft pastel shades running up into the
white and down into the pink
Linens, too, as has been indicated
have border effect similar to that just
described, only on linen the mbroid-
cry designs are holder and heavier
Lovely batistes and mulls with all
ever embroidery design are numerous
and some of these suggest delightful
blouses demanding little time and eff
fort on the part of the maker. For in
stance, there is a sheer, silky white
batiste which has clusters of very tiny
tucks, three in a group, set at two-inch
intervals, and between these groups of
tucks are lines or large embroidered
dots in delicate color-light blue, pink,
green or lilac.
Another beautiful white batiste has
little English eyelets embroidered in
pink scattered all over it's surface, and
at intervals of about three or four
inches stripe of little pink embroid-
cred rosebuds, clustered gracefully to-
gether.

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr.. Taft
would use an automobile during his
term as President, much rivalry de-
veloped among the leading manufac-
turers for the honor of selling him a
car and the public watched with in
terest to see what Mr.. Taft's choice
would be. The knowing ones predicted
that the White Steamer would be Sc
1ected and they pointed out that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had used White Steam
ers for two years at his summer home
at Oyster Bay and had recommended
this make to Mr.. Taft as the most de-
sirable.
This prediction proved correct, al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely
on Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation
but, with his usual thoroughness, de-
termined to have an investigation
made of all the principal makes. Ac-
cordingly, he asked several officers of
the War Department to look into the
matter for him, and they tested many
makes of cars, visited number of
factories so that they might see what
materials were used, and, finally, they
investigated the records of the differ
ent types of cars in public contests
and in private service.

Packing Case Co vered with cretonne.

The center of interest in a young
girls bedroom is. without doubt the
dressing table. This is always made
as attractive as possible with a pretty
cover, dainty cushions and little pin
trays.
Now one does not have to go into
the shops and pay a high price for a
dressing table, for often the home
made affairs are quite as satisfactory
and bit daintier. The dressing table
in the sketch is made of a wooden
packing case. The case cost 25 cents,
and the cretonne to cover it was 80
cents a yard. Sometimes one finds
very pretty cretonnes for less-per-
haps Is or 20 cents yard. These are
not as fine, but are quite as effective.
The packing case may be bought at
any small shop. Paint the case with a
white enamel paint inside and out
stand it so that the opening is at the
front Tack the cretonne on across
the sides and slip brass rod through
the top of the front breadths. This
win allow the curtains being pushed
aside, and boxes may be kept under
the table if desired.

United States coat-Ofarms painted
on either door. In other words,
when we make a car for the Presi-
dent of the United States there is no
way in which we can make 1t any
better than the car which you, or
anybody else, can purchase from u.s.
Some of those writing to me
about Mr.. Taft's car say that, al
though they are very DESTROYS OF
having a car like Mr.. Taft's, they
are afraid that such a car is some
what larger and more expensive than
they desire. In reply to such letters,
1 point out that our Model 20 20
horsepower car is exactly like our
40 horsepower model, except as re-
CARDS the size of the different parts.
The principle of construction is ex-
actly the same and the smaller car
possesses all the desirable qualities
of our larger model. In other words,
one can secure an exact duplicate OF
Mr. Taft's car for $4,000, or a car OF
the same qualities, but of smaller d.
mansions, for only $4,000 Judging by
the demand for White cars, a good pro-
portion of those desiring to purchase
automobiles are quite content to trust
President Taft's judgment as to the
best and most desirable make"

the table is made of piece of the ma
terial edged with cluny lace. The
lace in the sketch was only five cents
a yard. The mirror over the dressing
table is one of the inexpensive oak
framed sort. These mirrors usually
come to hang vertically, but the screw
eyes may be changed so that they
may be placed horizontally. 1t is
daintier IL the mirror has a white
frame The wood may be sandpapered
or an Opaque varnish stain may be
used
The dressing table is now ready for
the pretty little furnishings, and no
one would ever guess how absurdly in
expensive it was. Girls who live in
furnished rooms might fix one up for
themselves, for the average furnished
room rarely boasts dressing table
Then a summer house needs just such
things to make it look artistic and
yet cool and comfortable The cover
may be made so that it VIII slip OFF

take up its original role, and the

When their 1abors were completed,
the officials reported unanimously to
Mr. Taft in favor of the White, and,
accordingly, a car of this make was
Immediately ordered from the manu-
facturers, The White Company Of
Cleveland.
The new car was delivered to Mr.
Taft in Washington a few days be-
fore his Inauguration and since that
time it has been in almost constant
use. There has not been day when
the President or some member of
his family have not been seen riding
around the National Capital in the
new car. 1t is limited that Mr.. Taft
likes fast travelling and that when
he rides out into the open country, he
does not always insist that the speed
of the car be kept within the legal
limits.

Capt. E. L. G. Zalinski.

for coast defense, at least, the gun
may have permanent and great value.
The Zalinski dynamite gun is OPP
Grated by compressed air. Dynamite,
it is well known is easily exploded by
a sudden shock, and because of this
fact it cannot be fired from an or
binary gun or cannon Compressed
air, however, is highly elastic as well
as powerful, and these qualities make
it possible to fire safely and effective
ly from a gun whose motive force is
compressed air, a shell containing a
large amount of powerful explosive.
AS developed by Capt. Zalinski the
gun is about fifty feet long and is Is
inches interior diameter. Three such
guns form the equipment of the dyna-
mite cruiser Vesuvius, which was tried
in actual warfare against the Span
iards before Santiago harbor. In 1890
the first official tests of the invention
were made by committee of naval
officers on the Delaware river near
Chester, Pa. Shells nearly nine feet
long, weighing with the inclosed dyna-
mite more than 500 pounds, were fired.
The naval officers had so little faith in
the invention that they withdrew in a
tug to a distance of mile before they
gave the signal for firing. This test
showed that the shells could be fired
safely and sent more than a mile with
the certainty of exploding on striking
or at the end of the time for which a
time fuse was set.
Subsequent tests by the United
States and foreign governments
showed an effective range up to two
miles Owing to the fact that the gun
must be inclined upward so as to
throw the shell in a high curve and
drop it upon the target the invention
is consid cred by naval experts hardly
practicable for extensive use aboard
ships. AS means of coast refense,
however. it is said to have great pos
sibilities, and some eXperimenters
have predicted that eventually it will
displace the torpedo. By graduating
the amount of compressed air used the
range of the gun is controlled to de-
gree of accuracy that has been found
surprising in some of the tests made
by British experts.

than many diplomatic tangles.
When President Theirs died he
willed to the nation the famous Nine.
Theirs pearl necklace, one of the
choicest bits of jewelry in the world.
1t consists of las pearls, the three
largest of which weigh rs. SO and 81
grams The necklace is valued at
$4,000.
Recently the directors of the Ma
tional museum, where it was placed,
announced their wish to sell the neck
lace Thereupon the descendants of
President Theirs filed a strong protest,
declaring that this the government
could not do. Why, they asked
should the government wish to sell
the famous necklace? Then the truth
was told The marvellous gems had
begun to lose their luster.
1t is claimed by many that pearls, il
not worn for long time, will turn
black. This is what is taking place
with. these marvellous gems
The belief that pearls lose their lus-
ter if not worn is related to one Of

mer of today involve the economic ele- ment in their solutions and the solution in turn reacts upon the economic sit uaton. The reorganization of two of the most important institutions of the country the school and church, demands a riper social consciousness. We must have more taxes for the one and more generous subscriptions and endowments for the other. The consolidated coun- try school on the one hand and the re- vitalized and reorganized church on the other will be potent factors In the de- velopment of this much needed social consciousness.
 To get it we must have them and-to have them get it. All cooperation for mutual protection and profit demands a lively social consciousness for its incep- tion and for its successful and efficient prosecution. This seems to be the ul- innate desideratum to insure progress in this day and age and this is just the point that seems to be vulnerable in the character of the farmer.
 Growing out of this weakness are many secondary-or resulting deficiencies in character. First, his lack of respect for, or a better appreciation of, the finer conventionalities of life. Those customs or practices that, considered separately, are somewhat unimportant. but, Tn their totality. constitute fairly true measure of civilization. Second. his lack of respect for expert knowledge or opin- ion" Third, his somewhat blind worship of customs and traditions that lead him to confuse slavish imitation with the gen. timely practical Fourth. his inability to get a proper perspective because of his isolation. his so-called "indepen- dence' and the exaltation of the com mercial ideal.
