simple tub frock, one must remember that
the simplicity is of a very dainty kind and
that the frock will serve many summer
purposes and stand frequent journeys to
the laundry. From this price the we'll
made lingerie frock of good materials
mounts in price until it reaches giddy
heights.
The linen frocks come next on the list of
serviceable tub frocks, and here one finds
temptation on every hand. Such delectable
little frocks they are, now that weavers
and dyers in combination have achieved
altogether desirable things in linen. The
range Of colors this season is more beauti-
full than ever before and the weaves are
amazingly varied, though most of them
have the softness which gives them the
semblRnce of the hand-woVen linens and
makes them both more beautiful and more
serviceable than the SITTER, SIMMER sur
faced linens of an earlier cay.
Some of the new weaves ave a decided
luster, but it is not the old shine. Rather
it Is a mercerizing which gives to the soft,
loose woven linen the appearance of a
tussor. The makers vow that the luster
remains intact after repeated launderings,
but that must be determined by experience
There are all sorts of diagonal weave

cotton crepes are also desirable and win be
much used.
Some Of the fine lawns too can be used,
though most Of them have rather too
much body and not enough softness for
the best effects. Good German v~alenci-
ennes is the favored trimming and need
not be real to be satisfactory, but the
narrow cluny or Irish with which il is al
most invariably associated should be real
lace, and it is far better to use a very
small quantity of the real article than to
lavish cheaper lace upon the frock.
The narrow Irish veining, narrow plain
crochet insertion and hand tucks are not
expensive trimmings, but give delightful
affects, and there are exquisite em-
broidery bands, motifs, edges and flOunc-
inRs which may be combined with the
lace, though the most attractive frocks Of
moderate price have only the laees and
hand tuckings. land embroidery Is OF
course an enormous addition IL It is fine
and beautiful, but much Of the sort used
now upon the cheaper blouses and frocks
is by no means beautiful and cheapens
rather than improves the garment.
There are plenty OF little shops in un-
pretentious quarters now where such simple
one-piece lingerie frocks, handmade, trim
med In valenelennes, a little real cluny or
Irish and perhaps a very little hand en-
broldery will be made to order for from
$40 10 $50, and though THIS may seem to

the next month or two.
The models that have already come

models promise pleasant things for the

For the present the makers seem con-

found in the new lingerie and lace models
prepared for the Riviera season and in
most cases ~extravagantly elaborate, as
the modish lingerie frock is prone to be

REFUSES TO MANDATE
Will Submit to Examination
Which Is Set for First
Saturday in June.

The committee appointed by Judge v
s. Reiter of the Lake superior court to
examine into the qualifications of at
torneys who seek to practice at the
Lake county bar has received word
from Attorney Leon Berezniak that he
will submit to an examination.
Berezniak appeared before Judge
Reiter yesterday and. made q motion
for a new trial in the case in which he
sought to mandate the court to enroll
him on the list of attorneys which is
kept in the local court.
In the meantime he notified Judge w.
W. Mcmahon that he would submit to
the legal examination to which he first
objected The date of the examina-
ton is set for the first Saturday in
June-
When Berezniak first sought to have
his name put on the roll of attorneys
he was informed that he would have to
pass an examination. He Immediately
rebelled and In a dramatie manner in
formed the committee that he would
mandate the court to place his name on
the roll.
He soon found, however, that the
court upheld the decision of his com
nittee on enrolment in a very decisive
manner. and after mature reflection he
decided to submit to the examination.

game in Hammond this year. 1t is

all around, as far as the abutting prop
erty owners are concerned
The Loop Question.
NO action was taken on the franchise
of the Northwestern Indiana Traction
company, this franchise having not been
reported back by the board of public
works. Attorney J. K. Stinson, who rep
resents the company in Hammond, was
at the council meeting and addressed
the council on the outcome of his con
ference with A. l. Drum relative to the
use of the loop Mr.. Stinson said to the
council that he had just returned from
Chicago, but that no agreement had
been reached, in fact he said the con-
ference did not last more than three
minetus. He said that Mr.. Drum gave
it as his excuse that he had not taken
the matter up with the other officials of
the company, and that he was not pre-
pared to talk business. Mr. Stinson
said that he and his company were not
discouraged, and added that they were
neither encouraged, and pointed it out
as significant fact that to his mind
Mr.. Drum has had ample time in which
to post himself for this conference He
secured promise from Mr. Drum that
he would get the operating company's
figures by next Friday Mr.. Stinson
added further that if the operating
company insisted on charging the new
road 3 cents for each passenger be-
cause of the loop clause-a thing the
operating company may do under its
franchise-that the Northwestern Trac-
tion company would have to withdraw

Councilman Pascaly then took the
he were ready to name a figure at
which he would go around the loop.
and whether he had told Mr. Schultz
that his company would be ready to
pay 40 per cent Mr. Stinson said that
he gave it as his personal opinion that
his company would be ready to pay
40 per cent for the loop privilege, but
that it was up to the A. l. Drum co.
to make a rate. Mr.. Pascaly then said
that he had taken 1t upon himself
to seek personal interview with Mr..
Drum last Friday and said that he
was satisfied from Mr.. Drums intima-
ttons that an agreement could be reach
ed. Mr.. Stinson said that all he had
TO answer was that his interview did
not last more than three minutes and
that Mr.. Drums remarks on the sub
ject were evasive.
Mr.. Pascaly then said that it would
not be the spirit of the council to in
sist on the loop route if the A. l.
Drum Co. would charge the highest rate
possible.
Councilman Nicholas I,auer also spoke
on the subject and said that, while he
had voted originally for the loop route
he would not insist upon it, He said
that 1t was a good thing to have all the
cars enter central terminal and that
this was especially desirable for the
travelling man who is in and out of the
city, but that in his opinion it were
better for the city at large If the in
terurbans would not terminate so close
ly together and thus divide the bust
ness sections.
