CARE OF WARDROBE

THE girl who is spending the sum-
mer in a remote place can only
keep her wardrobe in a good condi-
ton by giving intelligent directions to
amateur laundresses and cleaners. She
should tell the laundress to soak the
organdy and lawn frocks for 20 min
utes in a gallon of warm water in
which a tablespoon of borax has been
dissolved rub with CASTLE soap suds,
pour over them boiling water cool and
rinse in tepid water.
Rust stains on white clothes may be
removed by wetting the spots with a
mixture of lemon juice and salt. Ink
stains can usually be vanquished with
sweet milk, and mildew should be
treated with stiff paste of boiled
down CASTLE soap shavings spread
thickly on the stain and scattered over
with powdered potash slightly mois-
tened with water and then bleaehed on
the grass.
Silk stockings should be soaked for
ammonia, gently rubbed, pressed and
squeezed with the hands; rinzed
through two clear, warm waters, the
last blued with a little ultamarine blue
and then dried without using an iron.
A girl who wishes to keep her
tailored travelling suit nicely through
out the summer will not permit it to be
put away until every particle of dust
has been brushed with soft whisls
from each fold. Any mud stains
should be sponged from black cloth
with a little ammonia before washing
them with soapy water. Grease stains
can usually be removed with moistened
magnesia. Cover paint spots with
spirits of turpentine, allow it tC r,,-
main for a few hours, after which, by
rubbing the cloth between the fingers,
the paint will crumble off without in-
iuring the goods.

stead Of being carefully pressed out fat
soon become shapeless and shabby.
Gloves that are worn for many days
IN succession soon acquire an unpleas-
ant odor which could be avoided by
having a second pair to be worn on al
ternste days. meanwhile hanging the
others in the air for few moments
and then putting them away smoothly
with small sachet laid inside each
palm.
AS soon as possible after a glove is
ripped il should be overseamed with
cotton which precisely matches the

Damp spotted gloves can be restored
by putting a little gum ammoniac un-

Slightly mildewed gloves may some
times be made presentable by exposing

UST at first the temptation will be
great to devote all ones time to the
- reading OF novels and the lightest
kind Of literature, so great is the relief
at the close of the school year TO find
certain independence after the enforced
duties of the school room. but If girl
will keep herself strictly in hand for
short while she will soon come to find
true enjoyment in a classic, which. IL
more ponderous and analytic in style
than the quickly compiled novel of the
day, more than makes up in the new
thoughts and ideas and the fascinating
mental pictures which il conjures up.
10 know something about everything
rather than everything about some
thing is undeniably the educational
ambition OF the present generation, and
this principle has certainly a gread
the same absorbing interest to the
student herself for the intense con-
centration must necessarily be lacking,
but ii does unquestionably make a girl
more interesting to the outsider, since
II enables her to converse, If superb
cially, on any subject and have sufficient
knowledge to be eager to learn more
should opportunity arise. And, of
course. the basis of all knowledge is
simply knowledge or sufficient idea of
a subject TO know how TO understand
and know more.
Even the knowing something Of
subject. however, necessitates consider
able study, and it is good plan to
take up some one topic each summer
and devote the greater part of ones
energies to that alone. Astronomy, for
example, is seldom given as course in
school, yet there is no study so mar
velously interesting as the history of
the heavens, the names of the planets,
their relation to one another. whether
or not there is possibility OF life on
Mars or Venus. First one should obtain
a chart of the sky and find out the
position of the different stars, using
a telescope, if necessary, and then com
mencing on some simple book that will
tell the rudiments of the science of
astronomy. After that sufficient interest
is sure to be aroused to necessitate a
trip to the nearest library for all books

kktHOUTH mannerisms dishgure
AN girl more permanently than do
almost any other facial contor-
tions. said the April Grandmother, who
had been quietly observing a group Of
prospective debutantes lunching at an
adjacent table. The most deplorable of
all mannerisms is lip compression, as in
time that habit transforms the mouth
into q thin, straight line which will
lend hard expression to the prettiest
face. and the face that has a hard ex-
preston is old, no matter how few may
be the actual years Of it's owner.
The nervous girl who holds her lips
tightly pressed together is liable TO be
seriously misjudged by strangers. who
imagine that her disposition is quite as
narrow as her mouth. Therefore any
embryo bud who is conscious of pos
sessing this mannerism would best
speedily break herself Of it, as other
wise, unless she is a multimillionairess
she viii certainly decorate the walls
instead OF the floors at the dinner
dances and cotilions where she appears
next winter.
Some girls make practice of twist
ing the mouth toward one side. This
habit causes that corner of the mouth
to droop and the feature to look SO

- BE girl OF today has little oppor-
tunity during the winter months,
busy with studies and pleasure,
for any reading that is not con-
nected with school work. In the sum
mer time. however. there is ample time
10 I'll the storehouse OF her mind with
new, delightful and profitable ideas
which viii give pleasure TO her all
through life. She should provide her
self. therefore. before leaving town
for the vacation months with good
collection Of books which viii be really
worth while TO read and not merely
means Of forgetting the passing of
time.
The conscientious girl need not
imagine. however. that she should
employ all her reading hours in the
perusaI Of books Of philosophy. history
or the ologies-there are any number
OF novels which. interspersed with the
weightier books. are truly profitable.
The best historic novels. for example.
often give a better picture of the times
and events depicted than is to be de-
rived through any other source. while
there are also innumerable romances
which. although merely love tales. are
so charmingly written and so exquisite
IN their style that the reader is at
once uplifted and given a happy,
wholesome view Of life
The way to the greatest and best
enjoyment in reading is to keep on
hand several books of totally different
character-biography modern novel,
history. classic. romance and poetry
and to turn to each as the mood die
tates. This method can, Of course, only
be followed where there is considerable
leisure time at ones disposal, for dur
ing the crowded winter months il is
often difficult 10 read a book through
in short enough time to retain a clear
and consecutive idea Of the story and
personages portrayed. In summer,
however. there are frequently weeks
together so warm and enervating that
the mildest form of exercise is an ex-
ertion. and this is the time of the whole
year to stock the storehouse Of ones
mind with substantial food upon which
Il can sustain the brain for months
and years to come.

MILDLY BLoUsEs POPULAR

HERE is craze this summer for
MILDLY blouses. and if Uncle Sam
does not watch out the supply for
his sailors will run out, for girls are
discovering where they are made and
sold and are making veritable raids on
the astonished manufacturers The
blouse may be worn inside the belt,
outside blouse fashion or outside hang
ing straight down over the hips. This
latter is the caprice of the hour and
looks very fetching on tall, slim girls;
but let short or stout girls beware lest
they make perfect frights of them
selves The blouse. of course. should be
worn with a white skirt and when
belted in the belt should be of blue to
match the trimming on the blouse. The
correct pronunciation of the word
blouse, by the way, is as If 1t were
spelled with a ~" instead of an IS, =
and IL you wish TO be up to date you
must use the word properly.

each week in studying out the librettos
of the most famous operas, reading
the stories and playing over the themes,
will realize when she comes out and
must attend the opera at least once
week what perfect treasure house of
delight she has built for herself. Nor
does one need to be musical in the
accepted sense of the term to listen
appreciatively to grand opera. If the
story and the themes are understood
it is not necessary to be able to sing
and play a single note in order to
derive keen pleasure from good musi-
cal performance The Music Dramas
of Richard Wagner" by Savignac, is
an excellent book to be studied by
any who desire to appreciate the beau
ties of German opera and who feel
that the music is too heavy, too sleep
enticing perhaps, for their small knowl-
edge of and sympathy in music.
Then there are innumerable books
devoted to the history of art and archi-
lecture of the different countries and
nations. which once commenced are not
difficult reading and give to the girl
who has not yet studied the subject at
least a superficial familiarity with

and talked of and of which she should
certainly not evince total ignorance.

crooked that people naturally suppose
that several teeth are missing from
that side of the jaw and wonder why
she does not have them replaced. Other
girls draw down the lips at both cor
ners. This is usually done to mutely ex-
press disapproval Of some person or
object, but it is a mannerism which will
permanently distort the most perfectly
shaped Cupid bow and plow deep lines
from its corners to the base of the
chin.
1T behooves the girl who possesses a
pretty mouth to not only refrain from
drawing it down, but to practice turn
ing up its corners as though just about
to smile. This exercise will help to
keep the chin from sagging.
'"rhe girl who bites her lips when
ever she is embarrassed or annoyed not
only gives public expression of her
mental state and exhibits lack of self
control but is cultivating thick Tipped
mouth which no art of the beauty doc
tors can overcome. Those who natu-
rally have thick lips are apt to form
the habit of pinching them hard with
the forehnger and thumb in the hope
of fattening them. AS the disfgure-
ment is usually traceable to protruding

GEOLOGY as a history of the ages is
another most excellent study for
~ the summer time, and one which
will do much to awaken interest in
the country and a new delight in all
the wonderful formations of the earth.
Mountains and valleys, rocks and ordi-
nary clay acquire a new interest as
soon as one has given thought to the
curious and wonderful occurrences in
nature which have taken place through
the different rocks to make them what
they are. Even briefly written school
book on the study of geology will give
a knowledge of the subject that will
prove a delight all through life.
aUSIC, too, can be studied from a
vi written book, and the opera

boring to an intensely pleasure giving

and a familiarity with the themes.

It is the opinion, however, of many attorneys that federal court cannot now as sume jurisdiction of case which has been brought ill a state court, except upon appeal from the state supreme court to the United States supreme court.
 The writ of prohibition is very broad i'll its scope, and will com pletely stop any interference with the capitol work by the contractors or other obstructionists through any of the courts of Arkansas.

Charles, ill front of his residence OH Clifton street al e:3o o'clock last night. The young man secured the license in Conway county and met his bride. who lives two miles west of Con way on her return from prayer meeting at Reeves schoolhouse, from which place they drove to the home of MT.

 FOR SECOND TERM

Little Rock, August 4.-Special. Governor Donaghey has a large mail every day, even larger than that which reached his office during the legislative session and the majority of the letters are re- quests for him to announce him self as candidate for second term. Many who have been opposed to him before the recent capitol fight began are now with him, and have stated they will get out and take the stump for him if necessary. Governor Donaghey considers the letters high compliment and will preserve them even though they fill barn.

 Union.

Little Rock, Aug. 5-Special.- The Arkansas Farmers Union convention i'll session here today decided to re-establish the state lecture bureau, which was abolish ed by the last state convention. This action was strongly recom- nended by Secretary M. F. Dick inson in his annual report to the union. Resolutions were adopted urging every farmer to raise enough wheat at least to make his own flour and to use only cotton bagging in wrapping his cotton, instead of jute. The organization of stock company of union farm CTS to establish a commission house in Little Rock was also recommend ed.

ACQU|TTAL OF DILL ENDS LONG TRIAL

Little Rock, Aug. 5.-Shortly after 6 o'clock last night, after Judge Lea had informed the Dill jury that it was to remain locked up several days yet if verdict was not reached, the jury communi- cated to Sheriff Roberts that it had agreed npon verdict. Judge Lea was sent for and the jury filed into the court room and by its foreman, C. T. Walker, returned a verdict of not guilty.
 Dill sprang from his chair and thanked each juryman. He left the court room immediately after wards, unescorted and ran to his home where his mother awaited him. There were only a few peo- pie in the court room at the time
 The jury was out 30 hours be- fore arriving at a verdict.

s o'clock i'll the morning, but this is what the Farmers Union did this morning, with committees meeting an hour in advance so as to have their matters all arranged for presentation to the convention when 1t convened.
 The most important work of the day has been the organization of a branch for the cooperative buy CTS. This association is similar to that of the fruit section and the cotton warehouses. The buyers have been busy for several years, but this is the first time an effort was ever made at orga nization. They will now work together and every member of the Union receive the benefit of their bargains. It means the whole state instead of simply districts as in the past.
 The entire afternoon session was given up to the election of off cers. George A. Cole, lecturer at the state experimental station, Pres ident Bowers and w. M. Baulk- men of Logan county were nomi- milton for president. Cole was the choice of the convention. He re- ceived majority of about 30 votes. The cause for the change was the advanced age of Pres. Bowers which prevented his being as ac- tive over the state as the president should be. He could not make the long drives into the interior, nor the night trips necessary to give the best of services and he asked the convention to allow him to retire.
 Pres. Bowers was then made vice president by exclamation. M. F. Dickinson was chosen as secretary-treasurer for another term in the same manner. J. l.. Hili- ger was elected chaplain; ]. F. McQuistian, doorkeeper; l.. F.
