Like Armor.

The cuirass bodice which incasea

most to the knees is often, in Jet OF
spangles, veritable armor.
The last seen Of this style until
now was In the early sos Of the last
century, when they are remembered
for the fiat, ungraceful appearance
they gave their wearers.
Nothing better shows the improve
ment in present dressmaking lines
over the past than to-day's fashion in
this sheathing garment. In most cases
the cuirass reaches only three or four
inches below the hips; but in many
instances 1t is seen well down to the

ARRANGING THE FLOWER HAT
Attractive Headgear That Any cleV-
or Girl Can Put Together
at Home.

Attractive flower hats can be easily
made by a clever girl, whose time Is
her own. A frame Of white silk wire
can be bought at any of the shops,
and there is a wide variety OF popular
shapes from which to choose.
The frame should first be covered
with fine white material and then the
flowers are put on in solid mass OF
color all over the entire surface OF the
hat. The brim is faced with shirred
net or soft silk or satin in a pale col
or to harmonic with the blossoms.
No trimming is required except,
perhaps, d stiff cockade Of wired black
velvet ribbon, forming a many-loop
bow at the left side. Black and white
aigrettes are also used on these hats.
A close-ftting hat with a turned
down brim, was Of. geraniums In all
the tones from the palest pink to deep
crimson. The brim was faced with
soft pink satin and at the left side OF
the crown was q knot and two loops
II black velvet ribbon. Jet ball hat
pins were worn, and the touches OF
black among the flowers were Inn
mensely attractive.
Violets are charming, slender
sprays Of wistaria, scarlet peoples,
tiny moss roses and English prim-
roses make charming hats for wear
with summer frocks.

Hosiery In style.


The sheer gauze Isle stocking is to
he the stocking of the season, and to
insure It q hearty welcome this year
It has been made extra long and
turned down to the depth Of three
inches. This, 1t Is thought, will over
come its aptness to break and tear
from the strain It Is subjected to by
the hose supporters. Both silk and
Isle hose are shown in the new taupe
shades, q long range OF bronze, tan,
mustard and champagne tints, as well
Us shades to match all the fashionable
colors in dress silks, which include
wistaria, reseda, rose. catawba and all
the duh, soft shades that in millinery
are known as tapestry colors. While
very thin plain stockings are to be
the acme Of smartness. lace or open
work hose are shown In no end OF at
tractive patterns. Some are made with
lace ankles and the upper portion
plain, but the majority seem to be Of
the aIl-over openwork variety.

Can fruit be grown cheaper than II
can be bought? is the query we are
often tempted to put to ourselves.
This depends, Of course. largely on
the man, but certain 1t is that where
little fruit is raised there little is
used and on farms where there is
plenty of fruit the season through
there you will find a family better

tain range a platform had been built
through the dust, to which the President
marched On rough table was a casket
containing a silver plate, with a push
button of Colorado gold. When the
President pressed it an electric circuit
started the machinery which lifted the
tunnel gates, six miles away. 1t would
have taken ninety minutes for the water
to come through in the ordinary course
but the government engineers had placed
temporary gates little way in, so that
at the end of sixty seconds the water
came flowing through, and the President
stopped listening to speech to watch it.
More than 1OO,,,O, 600 feet of cables was
used in the tunnel work. The construc-
ton cost fifteen lives.
Presenting a gold key to the President,
Mayor John Q. Allen said: This town is
yours; If you see anything you want take
it along
The President and Secretary Ballnger
spoke briefly in the evening.
Reclamation Stock Goes Up.
There was a big bull movement in
reclamation stock when President Taft
riding down the Grand valley. from
which New York and the east will get
5000 carloads of fruit this season, saw
what fertility q little water will awaken
in arid land. Inspired by the wonderful
peaches and big red apples at the Mesa
county fair, he promised the people re-
lief from the hardship which the cancel
lation of the governments reclamation
contracts had worked upon them. Seere-
tary Ballinger was with the President.
