The jumper dress was one OF the most

Chiffon and Net Scarfs.

IT HE scarf is now an accepted detail
of every smart outfit and some
women contend there should be one
ia match every gown. While this is
rather exaggerated statement, it is GER
tsinly a charming finish to any gown, es-
necially for thin summer frocks, and
above all for an evening gown. There
is every color of the rainbow, and many
others besides. Some are embroidered in
bright spangles and silks, others have
woven across the ends bands of different
shades of color. Others are of painted
chiffon. An attractive one is covered with
shiny dots that look like jet, but in reality
are of some softer substance. Old lace
scarfs, tambour and Mechlin, are now to

There are different opinions as to
whether skirts shall be trimmed or plain,

that have to be observed. 1t may be

DAYS TRIBUTE TO OLD FRIEND
|Governor's Private Secretary Voices
Opinion Of Chief

Frank A. Day, Governor Johnson's
private secretary, who was closely al
| lied with the executive throughout
his political career, made the follow
ling statement:
"No words that will be uttered can
add any luster to the name and fame
Iof John A. Johnson. The multitude
| had an affectionate regard for him,
unequaled, except in the case of the
great emanciptor. The reasons for
this are apparent and known well.
II will therefore only attempt at
this time to say that l have lost a
friend and better, truer, nobler,
more lovable friend never lived. But
my loss is nothing compared with the
| loss to the state and nation, and to
|the sweet little woman whose soul
was consuming fire of love and de-
|votion for one of the most loyal and
loving husbands / have ever known.
II can olny offer sympathy for the
lonely wife and relatiyes-regret for
|the loss of friend of humanity"

Minnesota Governor
a Unique Figure.
Mas Proud Of Fact That He
Began Life as Poor Boy,
Made Tax Dodgers Vince.

But Governor Johnson did not stop
1 at enforcement of the laws on the
statute books. By his influence he
brought about the enactment of new
laws to meet conditions. One thing he
| did was to have the legislature give
him a board Of tax equalizers. John
son appointed three of the best men
in the state. Under the law this board
had only advisory powers. The gov
ernor used his discretion. The steel
trust has immense mines in northern
Minnesota. These mines were taxed
on valuation of $3S,OOO,000 when
Johnson took Office. Now they are
taxed on a valuation of $194, 900, 900,
and the poor taxpayer feels better.
The electric railways uniting St. Paul
and Minneapolis are paying twice as
much taxes as they paid before the
advent of Johnson. The tax dodgers
began wincing when Johnson became
governor.
Some persons take pleasure in COM
|paring John Johnson with Abraham
Lincoln. This is due to the fact that
both men had immediate ancestors of
the kind that, as rule, do not pro-
duce society swells. Johnson seemed
TO have much of the homely honesty
'of Lincoln and more dignity than
."Honest Abe" Whatever he might
have turned out to be in the future,
we must go back to the original thesis
and assert that if Johnson had been a
candidate for head sheik of Fifth
avenues Four Hundred that lunatic's
circular would have defeated him.

There are over 10000 of these

attention of Mr.. X. W. Lindsey,
and there is Il strong possibility
of the establishment of one of
