COOL SUMMER BLOUSES OF SILK.

When selecting the summer wardrobe
one should not forget to provide n few
cool and dainty little blouses of some
soft. washable material Tor wear during
a hot afternoon.
China or Japanese silk are very appro-
pirate materials for such waists, for it
IS very cool and comfortable and launders
beautifully
These silks come IN every color and
II is an easy matter 10 obtain shades
harmonizing with the skirt with which
It IS TO be worn. White silk blouses
with a fine color stripe are very neat
and trim looking with a PONCE or tussor
suit the color Of the stripe.
One smart looking blouse was made
with inch wide plaits, back and front,
and stitched on tho edges, and finished
simply with fiat pearl buttons.
A dainty blouse Of lavender and white
stripe was made with graduated tucks
formed into a yoke effect in front. IN
which the lavender effect predominated.
A light. fuzzy look Is given by the
employment Of a pleated frill down the
front.
Where the blouses have not attach
able collars. they are worn with en-
broidered linen ones, finished with
dainty lace jabots.
The new cotton crepe Is also made into
blouses that are joy and comfort to the
wearers. especially for those who travel
IN their motor cars and have to condense
their baggage in clever ways.

space OF cannot crush), II may be washed

a nice little Peter Pan collar Of the crepe

Other sweet little cotton crepe bIouses
are in the new purple, In japanese blue,
and a pretty bluey green.

of cotton crepe. something attractive in

BREEzES FROM FARMLAND.

Prom the New York Tribune.
The present fashionable fans are very
small.
They are painted in Vatican designs
and have sandalwood or pearl sticks.
Big ostrich feather fans are seen again,
after a long period Of obscurity.
The small ones have been revived also,
reminding one forcibly Of the drawing
room cabinets they were wont 10 adorn.
These are made in fretted ivory.
This Is an impractical idea Of old Dame
Fashions. but she is usually conflicting
in her notions when it comes to useful
ness and beauty.
One Of the most exquisite features OF
the fans Of any period is to have them
scented.
sandalwood is one Of the most delicate
of all sachets
Little squares Of this may be purchased
at the chemists and put in the fan or
glove box.
or else a bag Of good sachet powder
may be used.
The fans OF spangled gauze are out in
full force on all the counters.
Special chains are attached TO them,
and match the designs Of the fan in
color.

The Optimist W.. the Pessimist.


The OPtimist W. the PesEimist.
The pessinist hesitates and loses both
time and opportunity; the optimist makes
the best OF everything now and builds
himself up. steadily and surely, until all
adversely Is overcome and the object IN
View realized. The pessimist curbs his
energies and concentrates his whole at
tention upon failure; the optimist gives
all his thought and power 70 the attain
ments Of success, and arouses his facul-
ties and forces to the highest point Of
efficiency. The pcssimist waits for better
times, and expects 20 keep on waiting.
The opt!m!st goes TO work with the best
that is at hand now and proceeds TO
create better times. The optimist is an
inspiration TO everybody; the pessimist Is
a wet blanket. The pessimist pours cold
water on the fires Of his own ability: the
optimist adds fuel 20 those fires. The
pessimlst links his mind 10 everything
that is losing ground; the optimlst lives
thinks, and works with everything that
IS determined TO press on. The pessimist
places q damper on everything, the opti-
mist gives life. FIRE, and go 10 every
thing. The Optimist attracts everything.

One who loves peace and quiet must

and I'm unquenchable restlessness. There |
Is nothing 70 envy In the life of woman
who has money and position.
Money is a desirable thing and viii buy
a beautiful life. There are men and
women who prove 1t. by living a life in
which luxury is only an incident They
are cultivated, charming people, with
deep affections and kind hearts. and the
world knows little about them because
they avoid notoriety like a pestilence.
You do not often find them in the heart
OF large cities but in suburbs and vii
lagos and towns, where they are safe
from prying eyes. Nobody knows how
much property they own Till the time for
dividing 1t arrives. Then there is some
surprise over the desire for quiet which
can hide millionaires from the public eye
II IS said that society columns In news
papers are mostly read by the humble,
Woodworking classes, or rather the
women of that class. It is only the nat
ural curiosity concerning a life Of which
they know nothing-few Of them have
the least desire TO try ii. An occasional
woman thinks of the things she might
buy with the price of a frock worn on a
single occasion and then discarded. /
doubt II many Of them feel a throb of
envy for motor cars. steam yachts and
airships-I fancy they get more real en-
joyment from a trolley ride into the

ings we would increase our happiness.
A matron of my acquaintance passed

astic nature she did q good deal Of the
unpleasant work Of the club 10 which
she belonged. The misery she met, day
after day. opened her eyes 10 the advan-
tages which she had accepted as a matter
OF course. She has ceased to wish for the
unattainable. 10 strive in emulation OF
her neighbors, and IS playing Lady
BOuntiful IN a tiny village where she
lives like a queen, in the eyes OF her ad-
miring proteges. She Is happier than
she has ever been before, yet her former
friends speak of her in plying tones,
as one lost to the world. Even her peri
odical appearances in her old haunts do
not convince them that she is as happy
as she looks. for they have not found
happiness with all their resOurces-it

STOLE HOTEL
 GUESTS JEWELS
Clerk Feverishly Pawning Them When
 Caught.

New York, Feb. 19.-MrsI J. R. Me Comb of Great Harrington, Mass. was robbed recently of $1O,00O worth of jewels, but did not learn of the rob- bery until informed over the long dis tance telephone by Police Headuuar- ters last night.
 Up to short time ago Mrs Me Comb was guest at the Hotel Col lingwood, at B West Forty-fifth street. On February 13, before leaving to go to her home in Great Harrington, she gave the hotel her jewels to be placed in the house safe for safe keeping. They were removed from the vault and pawned by Allen Porter Crolius, night clerk, who went to the hotel on Jan uary il.
 Inspector McCafferty learned yester- day that young man was around the Tenderloin pawning some pretty good jewelry. McCafferty sent Detective Van Twistern to look the young man over. Van Twistern found him just en- terlng the Globe Loan Company's place at 460 Sixth avenue and followed him in. Crolius pawned a diamond scarfpin for $130 and then started up Sixth av- enue again. Van Twistern stopped him.
 Van ,Twistern took Crolius into a doorway and searched him. Up the sleeve of Crolius' coat he found a long pasteboard box which held several smaller boxes, each marked with some jewellers name. He then took the young man to Headquarters, where Crolius confessed to having stolen the pin and otherwise made clean breast of his doings.

MT. Pulitzer of the N. Y. World is to be taken to Washington under a Federal statute, and there tried for criminal libel under District of Colum- bia laws, provided, of course, that no effective legal obstacles are encounter ed. If this procedure is successful. it will not be difficult in the future to stife newspaper criticism of an rAd- ministration or of Congress, and if the present laws of the District of Co., lumbia should prove insufficient to that purpose, Congress holds the pow CT of changing them.
 AS is thus seen, much more than the question whether MT. Pulitzer and the others indicted with him perpetrated a criminal libel in the Panama Canal matter, is involved in the pending case. Their conviction would add another to those signs of the times'' which are ominous in significance:
