THE GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN
CORK LEGS.

| When a Jersey jury brought in a
verdict of SIS, 500 damages for a little
girl who had lost a leg in trolley
| car accident, the judge of the court
| is reported to have said:
| ''Tnis verdict of $500 is too high.
The jury did not take into considers
ton the great Improvement in cork
legs
| If this little girl had been the daugh-
ter of Judge Garrison, he would not
| have thought an improvement In cork
kgs was a compensatory incfdent-he
would never have dreamed that the
leg was not worth $4,000; now five
year-old Dorothy McDermott's leg was
worth Just as much as though she had
been Judge Garrisor1's daughter.
Cork legs may be greatly improved.
SO are glass eyes and artificial arms
and wigs end crutches. Yet we hardly
suppose this learned justice would care
TO trade his own eyes and arms and
hair for manufactured nakesffifts, and
life on crutches. even with a liberal
allowance of cash to sa1ve his feelings
1t is apparent that Judge Garrison
has nota judicial mind, any more than
had the Jersey judge who insisted that
an old Quaker woman who was a deaf
witness should remove her poke bon
net because he thought that it inter
fered with her hearing

LINEN SUITS TO
BE WORN AGAIN.
Ready Made Costumes Are a Boon Z,
Girls With Little Time and Money.


Linen, pfque and duck costumes are
now considered Indispensable and
there is as much variety in color and
weave and design as though cloth were
used instead Of the wash material
There is no question that in the heat
OF midsummer these gowns are essen
tia1 to comfort, and that they are en-
inently practical as we'll as ornamen-
tai has been most satisfactorily proven,
and while many of the styles are too
elaborate to be intrusted to the ordi-
nary weekly wash and can only be sat
isfactorily cleaned at the cleaners,
there are plenty OF models that are
simple enough in designs for the home
laundries to attend to.
Most extraordinary is the change IN
the last few years in the ready made
linen and piQue costumes
Almost without exception are they
well cut and, for the comparatively
small sums asked in some instances.
are truly remarkable.
OF course the average ready made
linen costume will not bear close COM
parison with the made to order, espe-
cially in the finish of detail, or as a
rule in the quality OF the material, but
the general effect is excellent and the
price far below the made to order
This certainly will be a season when
the girl with most limited allowance
to dress on can provide herself with a
summer outfit at small cost OF money
and time.

EMBROIDERED BELTS.

A new touch IN embroidered beftin z
is the use OF jet beads and coiored or
crystal bugies in connection with an
embroidery design.
A spray OF pink white roses worked
on white MORE betting had as a center
for each flower a Jet caibochcn. A
daisy design worked in white on pale
blue betting had yellow bugies for the
center and the stems were made OF
green blrgie beads.
The close French knot used to cover
stamping, as in coral embroidery. Is a
quick and popular way to embrofder
belts. Such a treatment may have
satin stitch center wtths bead Stems. Or
a mock jewel IN used DOR the center,
the stems outlined or worked In mar
row over and over stitch
Such betting will not wazh, but It
may be cleaned with cornmeal and
gasoline mixed to a tff5cfx paste.

ance which outdoes for size anything

The materials used in its makeup

In its original form it is made of
coarse black satin straw with a wide

This edge is fully two inches wide.
Around the crown is a band of the
silk, and at the side a great wheel ro-
settle of the shirred Persian silk, cen
tered with shirred black fiber braid
and a large Jewel.
That the effect is striking goes

The marquisette shape is prominent

Some of the most stunning of the
latter hats have been of black trimmed
with flame celored feathers.
