81 Mrs. Maud e. CiIisy.

Tailored waists continue to make
use of linen, lawn and batiste mate
rials. The models most in demand are
the side-frilled types, with pleated,
tucked or plain blouses.
Dressy waists for early fall are be-
ing shown made of yari-colored chtf-
fons, nets and silks, with which are
often worn black chantilly lace or en-
broidered chiffon jumpers.
White hosiery is still in vogue, and
tans, brokens and colors to match cos
tunes are still popular. Many beau
tiful designs appear in the openwork
and embroidered styles.
Very effective are the white leather
belts made up with three-inch wide
strip of Persian banding through the
center. The leather-covered buckle is
the favorite fastening.
An excellent suit for general wear
, is a coat and skirt of blue linen of the
royal shade now in vogue. The col
lar and cuffs are of white linen, and
buttons or white pearl.
A band of insertion or embroidery
or a stitched band of the material
of the dress is a neat finish to the
square collarless neck of the wash
dress, whether or gingham, chambray
or linen.
Among other trifes of dress that
have gained in importance since the
opening of the season is the sash
Special ribbons in weaves as soft as
chiffon have been wrought out foI
these sashes.
Many of the newest pongee, rajat
and shantung costumes are linen with
foulard silk, showing a ground of the
same color as the pongee. and the
separate waist to wear with this cos
tune is of the same silk.

TO CLEAN BRASS.

The simplest and most satisfactory
method of cleaning brass bedsteads'
curtain rods, andirons and the like is
to dampen cloth with ammonia then
rub It briskly over a piece OF pumice
soap. This mixture applied to brass
acts like magic. Some brass curtain
rods which were thought TO be be-
vond redemption, so black had they
become. with the least possible ef-
fort were made to shine like new. Tne
experiment proved so satisfactory that
other brasses about the house were
treated in the same manner unul
numice soap and ammonia have found
a permanent place among many clean
ING utensils. It is necessary only

SINCLAIR'S DEFINITION
OF CAPITALISM

Upton Sinclair. author and Social
list, who is now a member of the Sin
gle Tax and Socialist colony at Ar
den, above Wilmington, has been
awarded second prize in a contest
over definition for Capitalism. 3"
conducted by Hope, a Socialist publi-
cation. Mr. Sinclair's answer was:
"In answer to your request for a
satisfactory definition of the Capital
list system in a few words, it seems
to me that it may best be compared
to one of its choicest products, the
automobile. The essential thing about
an automobile is that half a dozen
people get the fresh air and the seen
cry, and the rest of the world gets
the dust and the stink"

GREAT INCREASE
In OUR LUXURIES
ImpOrtatiOnS This Tariff Year
$25,OOO,OOO in Excess Of
Previous High Record
DIAMONDS IN CLOSE
RACE WITH TOBACCO

WASHINGTON Aug. 24.-Figures
are being shown to demonstrate that
the Payne-Aldrich tariff act is in
creasing the governments revenues
by collecting money from the rich on
the luxuries used by them II will
be said In the coming campaign that
the importation of luxuries for 1910
is 25.000,000 in excess of that for
1907, the previous high-record year.
The total for the fiscal year ended
June 30 was $3.50 ,000,0 900 The period
covered nearly eleven months of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff.
During the debate on the Payne
Aldrich bill It was frequently de-
clared that the housewife would pay
a large proportion of the expected in
crease in revenues Now attention
is diverted from that prediction and
figures produced TO show that the
wealthy classes are furnishing the
funds necessary to balance the treas
ury books by the larger use Of lux
uries. No figures are given TO show
the tax on the housewife.
A statement issued by the Bureau
Of Statistics of the Treasury Depart
ment says that diamonds, jewelry.
laces and embroideries, furs. feathers,
beads and perfumery on the one hand
and cigars and tobacco, wines and
liquors and automobiles on the other
are the principal articles forming the

Then he took her on his knee. The other
black robs justices were interested.
Justice Harlan started TO look around
for something to amuse the little visitor
and he finally found rubber band,
whereupon Miss Henrietta promptly snap
ped II in his face. Person who were &C
customed to the customary severe dig
nifty of the Supreme Court bench were al
most shocked at the sight,
Walker D. Hines was addressing the
court on the question whether the Inter
state Commerce Commission would re-
quire a railroad TO grant a connection
with a branch road upon the complaint
OF the latter. The young lady on the
bench was not interested In the argument
half so much as she was in her grand
father
