intimated before, we'll to the front, and
women welcome them enthusiastically be-
cause they are both practical and becom-

foulard makes up some Of the best looking
general utility frocks we have seen, some
Of them being made up with the utmost
simplicity. like the model Of the sketch,
whose only trimming was little black en-
broidery about the neck.
Another favored idea is the Russian
blouse of chiffon over frock Of foulard or
other material, and this idea, too, we have
illustrated this week. Separate blouses of
this type In black chiffon are shown in
several of the shops and all for wear over
various frocks, including anything from
linen or lingerie to crepe and satin.
The effect is unusually good and a smart
blouse of this kind will do wonders for a
frock slightly worn and a trifle demode.
one can buy a very chic blouse and its
virtues will make even a home made frock
look modish, provided II is charming OF
color and simple OF line; but after much
enthusiasm over some OF the imported
models OF such blouses we found cheap
copies In several of the larger shops and
the fact gave us pause. The idea is too
practical and the blouse too possible even
for the woman OF modest income not to be
threatened with overgreat popularity; but,
OF course, there are bouses and blouses,
and the very smart French model will have
an air differentlating II from It's humber
relatives, even though it also must retain a
certain simplicity.

Chantecler frills, some one has dubbed
them, and they are unquestionaby pretty
but we have them in lace in net, in lin
gerie stuff, In chiffon, in mousseline, etc
and the most charming of modes pals
upon one when too generally exploited.
Plated frilling by the yard is offered in
many attractive forms and the fad supplies
an easily applied neck finish. The imported
frocks show the same idea, but here the
frills are often beautifully made by hand
and elaborated with fine embroidery or
real lace.
What, oh, what is the woman with the
ugly scrawny neck to do next summer
when apparently all the feminine world is
to go with bare throat? Let her HE her

massage and conscientiously take neck ex-
ercises early and late, for the Partisan
designers seem to have done their best to
eliminate the high collar from the summer
program This spells comfort, but it
does not necessarily spell beauty.
A Dutch neck frock is hideously unbecom-
ing to some women and those women will
do well to defy the mode and keep at
least a plain sheer yelling Of lace or net
or mousseline over their throats; but
there's no denying that much can be done

There are models ornate to the last de-

plieity which appeal to every woman OF
taste. These simple frocks are not always
cheap but II cheapness Is comparative
then they are cheap by comparison with
the more elaborate models, and best OF all,
many Of them can be copied very cheaply
with considerable success.
Now just consider the two little tub
frocks sketohed among the small cuts.

seam is daintlly put together with veining,
that the cut and lines are admirable. The
chances are that the homemade copy will
never have quite the air of the original,
but it may be a charming thing and a thing
comparatively inexpensive.
One of these tub frocks is of fine hand
kerchef linen, fine but not too sheer for
service. One pays more for linen than for
the lawns. but it wears much better and
resists the laundress valiantly. The blouse
is tucked and finished with a center front
plait and sides frill. The sleeve Is only
moderately full and is long, finishing at
the wrist in a cuff. There is plain high
collar and the skirt is tucked or laid in
narrow plaits, the plaits being stitched
down well over the hips, but merely pressed
below.
Nothing remarkable about this, but the
lines are trim and attractive and original
ity is given to the frock by the narrow
bands Of blue and white dot used for
trimming. Such dotted cottons are easily
found and in most attractive colorings,
and the suggestion offered by this ore
simple model should conjure up many at
tractive possibilities.
The little striped froek is IN yellow and
white. a yellow verging upon leather
brown. though not so dark Such stripes
in various dainty colOrlngs are offered
among the dimities, the batistes, the lawns,
etc, and make up delightfully."- with either
the white or the color for trimmings.
The model in question has trimming OF
the plain yellow, front band. collar top,
cuff border and little cravat bow. Addi-
tional smartness and individuality is
gained by little hand embroidery on this
plain yellow, but the design is such as any
needlewoman might work easily and
swiftly, merely tiny leaves scattered irreg-
ularly along the bands Plain dots might
be substituted and still further simplify
the embroidery.

woman on the whole is a woman of taste
the too radical Meanwhile a pretty throat
is a charming thing, as our grandmothers
and the taste usually draws a line before
and grandfathers we'll knew, and only the
woman who shows an ugly one is making
the collarless frock mode offensive.
Guimpes when used-as they are in many
modes-are usually of the simplest order,
very sheer, little trimmed, unobtrusive
and very shallow For dressy frocks silver
or gold net is often used and the plalnest
Of fine soft cream nets or some very fine
sheer lace is favored.
Nets OF many kinds, all grouped under
the general French head of tulle, are en-
ployed as materials for many goood-loOk-
ing frocks and some OF the latest models
show an effective use OF ribbon in con-
nection with net. on an evening frock
the ribbon may be of pompadour coloring
and design, while for the daytime fTock
more sheer effects are usually preferred,
though some very good results are OBJ
tained with Persian ribbons.
A smart coat and frock costume Of smoke
gray tuile, pictured here, has bands OF rib
bon matching the tulle for trimming, and
the bottom Of the skirt. the coat revers and
cuffs are OF cerise foulard yelled In tulle.
This idea OF using figured foulard in Jap
anese Persian or geOmetrical designs,
yelled in tulle TO trim plain One-tone frocks
OF net, volle, etc, Is successfully developed
in numerous good looking models and the
more vivid colorings among tho beautiful
Persian silks are rather moro effective
when so used than otherwise.

piled to the foundation OF white meteore
and veiled with the dotted tulle, which is
shirred in at the waist line and has its
skirt fulness held in softly toward the bot
tom by lines OF shlrred cording. The chan,
tecler frill Of lace and the japanese sleeve
without largeness of armhole are notes Of
the new season.
This shoulder and sleeve in one arrange
ment is having pronounced vogue and is
not hard to handle when one has once
learned the knack. Some times it is much
draped over the shoulder and upper arm.

LARGE ENGINES.

The st. Paul road has put onseveral
monstrous engines on this division,
to haul logging trains. They are of
the type used on overland trains, and
have compound cylinders and extra
large drive wheels. The st. Paul
yards present a busy scene Sundays
when all the logging train crews are
at work switching, picking up
''empties" and making up trains. A
walk through the yards any day will
reveal to a person how varied are the
wood products shipped from this To-
cality. Last Sunday we saw a coal
car loaded with green hardwood saw
dust and chips-the refuse of a saw
mill. We were informed that it was
consigned to a packing house and was
to be used in smoking meats.
We are informed that the st. Paul
road is preparing to move its switches
south to Wausau Jet. The coal sheds,
water tank, ETC., will also be moved,
we are told, and new round house
will be built down there sufficient in
size to house more engines that the
one in present use is capable of. Then
streets will be opened across the
tracks from Forest street south to
Mcintosh. These improvements will
enhance the value of property in that
part of town.
