AS the midsummer season
wanes more novelties and little
odd accessories are worn by the
summer girls.
A new idea, and one that will
prove to be quite popular, is a
waistcoat made of folds of soft
black satin. Two long ends fall
nearly to the hem of the skirt, and
handsome pearl, or jet buckle
holds the ties at the left side of
the waist. This little waistcoat is
to be worn over dainty summer
frocks which have lost some of
their early freshness and need
Just such a touch as this smart
little waistcoat lends.
The little draped overskirt worn
by the other figure in the sketch
is also in black satin of a very
thin, soft variety. This addition
to the summer frock is matched
by pair of tiny bretelles ending
in an artistic bow.
Black and white still continues
to be the most popular combina-

condemn he began; but Mrs.
Gibson, who was lamenting the
wreck of the peach basket affair,
silenced him with an eloquent
look.
Just before they reached the
island, Marian, the dark twin,
while viewing the scenery,
dropped the lunch basket over
board, and Mrs. Gibson, grabbing
after it. allowing her glasses to
slip into the tranquil river.
Well, I'll be eternally and for
ever and ever bamboozled and BIZ
furseated!" fumed Mr.. Gibson. un-
til his wife quelled him.
In the struggle to land, Mr..
Gibson was jabbed in the neck by
a lady's hatpin, and young vii.
liam had his feet trampled upon
until he cried for 20 minutes. Be-
fore an hour had passed it began
to rain, and the crowd jammed
into the various pavilions. There
was not room for all, and the
Gibsons had to stand under the
caves where the water had a good
dribbling chance at their necks
By lunch time the party was wet
and ravenous. The lunch stands
were none too plentifully stocked
and the demand far exceeded the
supply. Mr.. Gibson at last OBJ
tanned two loayes of damp, flabby
bread at 20 cents each. The chill
dren cried meanwhile for the feast
at the rivers bottom.
The rain became a pourdown,
and continued until the boat ar
rived for the return journey. The
crowd by this time was thorough
ly wet, and consequently had i'm
bibed a great deal of spirits. nox-
ious and otherwise. AS a result,
Mr.. Gibson had two wordy en-
counters with gentlemen who i'm
agined themselves insulted when
he josled them. The twins curled
up and went to sleep, and Gibson
had to carry them, one on each
shoulder.
When they finally arrived home
young William sat down and be-
gan to scratch himself with yigor.
why do they have so many fleas
on Walnut Grove island?" he com.
plaihed.
Just then the twins commenced
to sneeze and cough from the eff
fects of the wetting.
''It has been glorious day =
next to natures heart" sighed
Mrs. Gibson.
YES" groaned Gibson, TIN
going down to the office tomorrow
and work like Turk for the nexi
three weeks getting rested"

THE HOLIDAY

The Gibsons began to prepare
for their holiday three weeks in
advance. Il was Mr.. Gibson who
finally decided on the knights of
Augustus outing to Walnut Grove
island. 1t was advertised as an
inexpensive day next to natures
heart, where the tagged business
man might rest and recuperate-
and Mr.. Gibson needed a rest.
Mrs. Gibson prepared a cold
boiled ham, chicken, two cakes,
pickles, olives and other eatables,
until the cost ran up to Sass; but,
as Gibson said, they would get
sufficient relaxation out of the
trip to save $50 in doctors bills.
At the first corner the twins
stumbled and a blackberry pie
spilled out upon the asphalt.
"You careless creatures!" scold-
ed Mrs. Gibson; but Mr.. Gibson
chuckled.
Let them have their fun. This
is going to be funny day."
At the next corner one of the
tough Mulligans pierced Will
Hams balloon with a islungshot,
and the procession was delayed
three minutes while the young
man sobbed out his grief. Gibson
stamped around nervously for a
bit. but the caravan got under
way again. and no further Incl
dents occurred on the way to the
boat, save for the street car con-
ductor's short-changing Gibson to
the amount of so cents.
In the crush to board the Mary
v. Dotson, Mrs. Gibson's 5000
peach basket hat was ruined and
n glass of apple marmalade over
turned on Stella's white frock.
when they reached the upper
deck a sudden gust of wind car
ried Gibson,s new straw into the
middle OF the river.

when he passed them. And
there were no ferns to shade him
from the hot sun. The ocean was
always rolling and tumbling him
about, and he couldn't rest.
He finally began to cry, and the
kind fairy who was watching him
knew that he had learned his les
son of contentment, SO she drew
him up to the clouds and sent him
back home to the creek In a show
er of rain, where he always lived
very happily.

Fure are showing in shop win
dows early this year, and the ever
popular fox fur is very much to
the fore.
One setin the sketch is made of
two whole skins of the Alaskan sill
yer fox. One skin forms the boa,
the other the rug muff,. and it
shows the beautiful markings of
the animal perfectly. Simply
made, it is Just the thing for wear

with the tailored frock.
The other is the beautiful white
fox, and, while it is made very
much like the set of silver fox, the
boa is much longer and much more
elaborate. AS it is not SO high
priced as the silver fox, l venture
to predict it will be quite popular
with girls for evening wear, par
ticularly with wraps of dainty
cOlOrS.

There seems to be a revival OF
the shoulder cape, which will in
terest elderly women.
The tucked yoke of cream lace
or tulle is almost universal on
Paris gowns, and it is probably
due to this fact that the dressers
of today, whether in pale or bril-
liant hues, or in somber black,
have never been so becoming as
they are just now.

Dear Miss Grey

Dear Miss Grey
Would you advise me to refuse
wine in society or not?
MISS G. H. r.
A.: If you don't care for wine
or have scruples against it, you
should refuse it. The surrender
of your individuality is too high
a price to pay for society or for
anything else. II you yield to rid
icule or urging, you mark your
self down moral coward. If you
decline, do so quietly, for il you
argue the question you are as ILL
bred as are those who urge you.

What will remove freckles?

A: Peroxide OF hydrogen or

equal parts will bleach the skin,
but nothing will permanently re-
move them. Freckles aren't half
bad things. and life is too short
to worry about them.

with a damp cloth be-
tween the iron and material, will
partially remove the shine, but it
soon returns.

Dear Miss Grey:
Will you tell me how to clean
q white knit shawl? What can l

skin? VIII you kindly give me a

YOUNG HOUSEKEEPER.
A: The best way to clean the
shawl Is to wash it in white soap
suds and gasoline. BE careful
about fire.
Open one of the little white
Jumps with a clean needle. If you
find you can press out a little
hard white kernel then that treat
ment will remove them all. If
there is no kernel inside, you
should consult doctor rather
than try to treat yourself.
To make good, plain loaf cake,
cream one-half cup butter, add
two cups granulated sugar sifted,
four egg yolks beaten, one table
spoon vanilla, and a little grated
nutmeg. Beat all this together
thoroughly, add three cups flour,
sift twice with three teaspoons
baking powder; add one cup milk
and fold in carefully the whites of
the eggs, beaten stiff. Add, If
liked, cup chopped nuts, cur
rants or raisins. This makes a
large loaf and must be baked at
least 35 minutes.

Matrimonial
Insurance is New
Stumps Local Men, Who Look on
Such a Scheme with Great
Misgivings.

Matrimonial insurance" said John
Steele. lis a sort of tontine proposition.
The first man to take the long leap gets
the whole pot. There are no companies
operating this game in Nebraska now that
I know Of"
Mr.. steele spoke in answer to a question
prompted by a dispatch to Auditor Bar
ton at Lincoln from a New York paper,
askilng how many companies were en-
gagged In this business in Nebraska.
Matrimonial insurance?" echoed an
other man in the risk business. Never
heard of It. What does It insure, a mans
domestic happiness: They would go broke
quickly. 1t might be to insure a mans
getting a wife.
The policy would call for a spouse OF
such and such qualifications, say a viva
cIous brunette or a plump blonde, pos
sessed OF a certain income and a loving
disposition. But that would not be much
different from a matrimonial bureau.
ITO insure a man being happy would be
dangerous. Many men have been known e
smash a finger or to fall down In order
to collect accident insurance, and with tn,
hymeneal kind all he would have to dC
would be TO kick up a row, throw a plat,
az his wife or something Of the sort. The
Home Life company ought to know some
thing about this II there is anything In
name"

Invited to Buy,
Lobeck Fights
William Owens Of St. Joseph Gets
Walloping Because Thirst Led
Him to Harsh Measures.

When you want beer buy it yourself and
don't let anybody tell you that yov have
to buy for them.
Joseph Lobeck OF Gibson has adopted
this as his slogan. and he makes trouble
for anybody who tries to get him TO break
st. He had occasion first to show up his
prowess against william owens of st.
Joseph and his pal.
Lobeck was returning from work when
he was stopped on tho Sixteenth street
vaduct by owens and his friend. They
told him he would have to furnish coin
Tor rushing the growler."
Now LobCck Is of a peaceful frame Of
mind and would have passed off the re-
mark as a joke had not Owens taken hold
OF his arm. That made Lobeck right mad
and he landed on owens and his pal with
ten or twelve uppercuts that changed th'
faces OF the two can rushers.
The police caught owens, but his pal got
away. In police court no case was made
against, Lobeck and Owens was discharged
for Judge Crawford thought the fellows
beaten face was evidences enough OF the
just punishment he had received.
