SMALL LS'FROCKS
ARE BOUGHT CHEAP
Easier to Purchase Than to
Make Such Clothes
Now.

Frocss for small girls can be bought
nowadays as cheaply as they can be
made at home if a seamstress must be
employed. OF course, where there are
dresses to be cut down and remodeled,
or if there is plenty of time for sewing,
the case is different
The little frock Of challis that has al
ways been regarded as the between for
small girls is seldom seen now. Instead
heavy white pidues and English repps
are used. These fabrics are warm and
have the additional advantage of being
washable.
While most mothers prefer the white,
these dresses may be secured in colors.
There are pink, blue, tan, and red to
choose from. One-piece models prevail,
and, for convenience Of laundering the
styles are mostly plain.
The Russian and Norfolk, built on the
conventional or modified lines, are the
most popular. Quite large number of
the new models are cut to come up TO
the neck, contrary to last seasons
modes, and are finished with a band
collar of embroidery.
Other froeks are cut out in the small
est OF Dutch squares and are similarly
finished. The sleeves are long. The ex-
ceptional is seen in q repp frock. This
low the elbow in bands of embroidery.
The waist is laid in tucks cut out at
the neck in a square, decorated with
embroidery that extends down the CEN
ter front. The oversleeves are kimono
shape, also trimmed with embroidery.
The skirt is plated and finished with
hem. a small chemisette is necessary.
For small girls who are from four to
eight years of age the Norfolk style as
to box plaits and the Russian effect as
TO the closing is the favored model
Such a dress in white repp Of a good
quality, trimmed with pipings and strap
pings, can be bought ready made. 1t
closes under the plait on the left, which
IS decorated with three buttons. The
sleeves are long, finished with band
cuffs.
Any of these models are suitable Sor
afternoon wear or informal children's
parties, matinees, etc.
While the school and house dresses
belonging to the small girl are of the
very plainest description, the best party
troek Is the other extreme, almost too
elaborate.
The materials employed for these are
nnest batste, embroidery, messaline,
chiffon, voile, and net. 1t is quite the
fashion now to mount white frocks over
a color. and colored dresses over a very
pretty white net in a small design. but
well covered, had widths Joined TO-
gether with la, and formed into a full
skirt henmed on the bottom. The waist
was combination of lace and net, the
louS SleeTeS arranged mouSQueta1re ef-
feet and the whole mounted over prim-
rose China silk
A sash Of deep ivory printed with
large yellow roses completed a lovely
party dress seen recently In a shop for
girl Of ten.
Another. in a pretty shade of Copen-
hagen blue, was of chiffon voile mount
ed over ivory China silk, the slip trim
med on the bottom with a r1ffie.
The waist opened over the daintiest
OF lingerie plaStrons, and had long
sleeves.

COOL, EASY COLLAR
BEST FOR SUMNER
Square Dutch Neck Newest
Idea for Ready-to-Wear
Blouses.

The square Dutch neck-which does
not sound very originals. neverthe-
less, the newest neck idea for summer.
1t is predicted as the popular feature
in the reedy-to-wear blouse. It is not
low cut, but just escapes being
high. and Its GOODNESS may be its
recommendation when the warm
weather comes.
II is a becoming shape that may suf-
fer from overpopularity, but yet may
be saved by some of the most perfect
ly crocheted neckpioces of Irish lace
that are made in the square-cut yoke
pattern.
When the Irish lace is beyond reach,
an excellent substitute may be found in
a mitered insertion of heavy cluny.
antique, or maltese lace. Again, the
square yoke OF heavy linen. hand en-
broidered in English eyelet work. makes
an effective Dutch neck for the blouse
of handkerchief linen.
This little model, with it's square coll
larless finish about the throat. is the
afternoon blouse. and will be welcomed
by devotees of the low Puritan collar
for morning wear.

LIGHT DUST GOWN
USEFUL ACCESSORY
Striped Black and White
Flannel Makes Smart
Garment.

Have you ever sighed for a really use
ful dust cloak, one that, while protect
ing a pretty light gown on a bus or
train journey can de satisfactorily
washed at homs and yet look smart?
A very narrowly striped black and
white lightweight unshrinkable flannel
is the material used in one which Is
finished off with a black velvet collar
and cuffs. and black buttons, the two
former being merely tucked on. and
therefore easily removable for washing.
while the buttons are fastened in posi-
ton with tiny safety pins, and so are
also quite easy to remove. I think. per
haps, it is Just this touch OF black that
makes it so smart.
The coat itself is made in quite plain
tailor fashion. and washes and gets up
really as good as new again and again
and I am wondering why I never
thought of flannel as dust coat mate
rial. and am intending to make myself
one during the dark days In prepara-
ton for next summer.
An additional advantage of such
coat Is that It takes up very little room
IN packing, but is yet warm enough to
serve as an extra wrap on occasion

BRONZE COLQRED
FOOTWEAR NOW
Tones Used by Novelty
Lovers in Bath Stock
ings and Shoes.

BY a natural mingling Of the olive
tones, the laurel greens and the Havana
browns, we arrive at a bronze color,
and it has hit at our footgear first.
Both shoes and stockings are offered
us in the most attractive glossy bronze.
The stockings are necessarily silk to
show the same luster that the bronze
kid holds.
There are pumps of a new and COM
Portable Ehape, and Oxford ties, both OF
them for street wear, and fastened with
ribbon bows to match.
The bootbiack has been promised
bronze polish in the best shades for
these new shoes. The stockings in this
new color shade to either a green or
a brown. Some of them are drop-stitch
in weave, others are embroidered in
colors to match, and still others are
waiting for a monogram on the instep,
which, IL allowable at all, must posi-
lively be so close a match as to be
only a satisfaction to the wearer.

GREEN PEAS FROM CAROLINA
GIVE SUMMER ASPECT
TO THE MARKET.

With gseen peas from North Carolina
and roasting ears from Florida, the
market today lacked only watermelons
and peaches to make its stock of sum-
mer vegetables and fruit complete.
One by one the Southern States have
been adding almost daily something
new to the market in the way OF sum-
mer vegetables. While there have been
a few peas on the market during the
last few days, today's shipments were
unusually heavy, and dealers are OF the
opinion that the supply will be abun-
liant until the end of summer.

Booker T Wash ington. George Peabody. Walter H. Page, pr. l. 1T. billiard of New Or leans and Bishop Grant of Kansas, were among those who spoke.
 It was decided to continue work un- der the fund upon the plan adopted last year--sending through the South teachers who in reality teach the teach CTS of the rural schools the newer methods of education. The number of these teachers was increased from 1a0 to 152, this having been made possible by an original endowment. The need of additional funds with which to car ry on the work was emphasized by an appeal from 100 negro principals and teachers in the South.
 The Jeanes fund teachers are divid- ed into three classes, extension teach CTS. supervising teachers and organiz- ing teachers They divided their work among 1.700 schools in ten of the Southern States.

 AS . oonsequence, the gtrfs foBter- mother. Mrs. Annts Bosss. resigned let- tsrs Of administration wrAntsd her by the Probate Court and caused to be dismissed . suit in which she had al- ready won 1udgment against q life insurance company.
 The two women met today for the first time since Oct lB, 1898. when Mss Burns disappeared on her way to school. She was only years old then. but Mrs. Bosse declared herself satis- fled as to the Identity of the young woman.
 It had always been supposed by Mrs, Bosss and the police that Nellie had been Kidnapped. Her story disapproved this.
 T was on my way to school with . girl about my own age, said MISS Burns, when two men. my father and my uncle, Ssised me and despite my kicking and screamipg. placed me in a buggy and drove to house on Day. ton Street. Father told me that this was to be my home and that I would never see Mother Bosse again.
 T grieved over the change for Q time, then. like most children. forgot my troubles. A few years later we moved across the river to East St. Louis and when became older. went to work in a department store"
 The girls father is Daniel Burns. an engineer. He ana his wife were living apart when the latter died. directing that Nellie be given into the care of Mrs. Bosse. Both Mrs. Burns and Mrs, Bosss had taken out insurance poiieies on the girls life. These matured in 1905, but MT. Bosse waited until a few weeks ago before bringing suits to recover on her policy in justice court. She won this case and the company appealed.
 Last Monday Judge withrow of the Circuit Court. sustained the finding of the lower tribunal that the girl was dead Accounts of the case appeared ir the local papers and thereupon Miss Burns tetephoned to the company's at torneys the intelligence. Afiidayits te this effect were sworn to be her uncit ana Miss Burns herself.
