cry designs running along every Sec

narrow borders of color, frills of fine
white lace edged by the narrowest
of black lace, frils of color border

falling over cream lace or chiffon,
frills running down each side of a CEN
trail lace or embroidery band and
many other variations.
Some of the prettiest cuff and col
lar sets have fiat bands on collars of
lace or embroidered linen with the
plated frills bordering them, and
there are close stock collars with
frills running around their lower
edge just at the base of the throat.
Owing to the great popularity OF
the plated frill as a collarless neck
finish there is an increasing liking
for fiat turn down collars finely en-
brodered and lace trimmed. and
these shown in great quantities in
all the fashionable shops. Some Of
the finest are very expensive, how
ever
EXquisitely embroidered collars OF
fine linen are modish for wear with
the low cut coats and are distinctly be-
coming especially when the blouse. as
is 50 often the case. is collarless. The
hard line of the coat collar against
bare throat is unbecoming and a
lingerie collar if fine and dainty i'm
proves the effect wonderfully. The
plated frill collar is pretty and be-
coming too, and Is much worn with
the tailored coat.
Embroidered pique collar and cuff
sets for the coats are practical and
smart. if not so dainty and becoming
as the finer sets of linen.
A belt of patent leather, preferably
black one, should be worn with q
separate waist and skirt.
A new trimming feature which
promises to become decidedly popu-
lar is the many colored Ostrich
plume.
The stockings this summer are il
most cases two-toned, matching tn,
costume or in contrasting color.

cred with blue and coral silk, are

A PAIR OF BOOTS.
They Figured In an Amusing Case Of
Mistaken Identity.

1t may be doubted if there ever &C.
cured more amusing instance of
mistaken identity than that Afforded
by Theodore Hook, the English humor-
lst of his time, and 1t all came about
through pair of boots. Hook was
travelling along the south coast of Eng
land and arrived in the course of his
journey at Dover.
Alighting at the Ship hotel he chang
ed his boots. ordered a slight dinner
and went out for a stroll through the
town. Returning at the appointed
time. he was surprised. to find the
whole establishment in confusion. A
crowd had collected outside the door
The master of the house was standing
at the foot of the stairs with two can
dies in his hands, and on Theodore's
entrance he walked backward before
him and conducted him into the prin-
cipal saloon, where all the walters
were standing and magnificent re-
past had been provided The wit was
much amused at the dignity to which
he had been promoted. but, being an
easy going fellow, made no scruples
and, sitting down. did full justice to
what was set before him. Next day
he signified his intention of departing
and ordered coach, when, to his as
constituent carriage and four drove
up to convey him to his destination
He inquired with .some apprehension
what he was to pay for all this gran
deur and was no less astonished than
gratited on receiving the answer
Nothing whatever, your royal high
ness" He was never more thoroughly
mystified, but the next night, on TAX
ing off his boots. which he had bought
ready made tIst before he went to
Dover, he found "H. S. II. the Prince
of Orange" written inside them. They
had been originally made for the
prince, who was then in England suing
for the hand of Princess Charlotte,
and notice had been given that all his
expenses while in the country should
be set down to the charge of the gov
ernment.-N Minneapolis News.

Fate of the Great AUX.

The great aux, northern diving
bird, used to exist in the arctic regions
also. Now, this splendid bird was Sc
riously handicapped by the fact that
it laid only one egg in IA season and
so could not afford to be slaughtered
at all. But it was hunted and shot
without discrimination. A few sur
vlving hundreds took refuge on des-
olate rock far out to sea. but one fatal
day vessel contrived to land on this
rock, and the crew shot nearly the ell
tire rookery. Finally nature herself
rose up. There was a cataclysm, the
rock sank into the sea, and that was
the last of the great aux.

Stray Topics From Little Old New
York

New York, June 10.-When Airs.
Bridget Woods, who died a few days
ago at the home of her daughter in
this city, came to New York at the
age OF six years, she found it but a
moderately sized town. The city hall
was then in the same place where ii
now stands, but it was considered to
be located on the extreme northern
bounds of the city, beyond which
there was little chance of the houses
ever extending. The only Catholic
church was st. Peters, which still
stands at the, corner of Barclay and
Church street. Mrs. Woods was
brn in County Tyrone, Ireland. on
February /, 1909 and came to New
York in 1911, a year before the sec
ond war with Great Britain. Mrs.
Woods. who enjoyed the most re-
markable good health to within a few
| days before her death, had also many
memories of the infancy of Paterson.
n. j., of which for a time she was a
resident She could look back to the
days when there was no Jail in that
town and such criminals as there
were were exposed in the good old
fashioned way in stocks and pillory
A daughter 20 years old, two grand
children, II great grandchildren and
two at-grandchildren sur
vive her.
There is a good opportunity for
some physician to- write learned
dissertation upon the medical pro-
perties of S50-bills. About a week
ago a mercahnt in Middletown, on re-
firing for the night, left some bills
lying on top of the dresser. He had
lame back and some time during
the night he asked his wife to pre-
pare a porous plaster. After heating
the plaster his wife brought it INFO
the dark room and accidentally
dropped it on the dresser. When she
picked it up she did not notice that
one of the bills. $50 note, had be-
come attached to the business side Of
| the plaster Her husband applied
| the plaster to his back and kept il
there for several days. OF course he
missed the bill but all searching
proved futile. until. upon removing
| the plaster the bill was found sticking
to it, AS it was found impossible 10
remove the bill from the plaster, the
plaster with the bill was sent to the
Treasury Department with the re-
quest to exchange the bill for a new
one. Strange to say the lame back
was cured as effectually as If the
plaster had been in actual contact
with the mans back.
To mere man" it may seem TO be-
an absurd idiosyncrasy that so many
women have strong preference for
being married in the month of June,
but for some unaccountable reason
many women actually have such a
preference and are willing to make
sacrifices and suffer no end of incOn-
venlence for the sake of being mar
ried in that particular month To
what extent this June craze has
grown may DE inferred from the fact
thatthis year there has been regu-
lar race between women to be the
first of the June brides. One girl,
particularly ambitious to be the first
June bride of the year, was married
two minutes after midnight of May
81 and It is very likely that she was
the victor in the case.
To make things more interesting
a new branch of the Marriage License
Bureau was opened in the Borough

SOMETHING FOR HEADACHE

Nothing else aside from money, Is
so universally sought for as cure
for headache. Headache powders are
not safe and they give only temporary
relief in any event. The chocolate
coated and capsule-shaped pills call
ed Sherman's Headache Remedy and
sold by all druggists and dealers at
10c and 25s are recommended as the
best headache cure.

WARM CONTEST PROMISED
Handicapped To Be Selected at
A A. U. Meeting Tomorrow.

The annual meeting Of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union for the election of handicap
per of the metropolitan association, which
will be held at the IriSh-American Athletic
Club tomorrow, from present accounts
will be bitterly contested. The three can
didates in the field for the place, George
b. Underwood Herman Obbertubessng

have been hard at work for the last six
weeks trying to secure votes.
Sixty of the i47 clubs which represent the
local body have been found in arrears for
dues. which, according to the Amateur
Athletic Union laws, will prevent them
from voting Many Of the barred clubs
are situated upstate, and the meeting Will
probably be an exceedingly lively one.
The failure to re-elect George Matthews,
Of the Acorn Athletic Association, Of
Brooklyn. to represent the club al the
meeting tomorrow night has, it is said,
caused the disruption Of the Brooklyn club.
Matthews, who was beaten out by j.
Rowan. has retired from the club. taking
along William Kramer, the 'cross-country
star, and many others. Kramer, who won
the three-mile run at the Press Club
games, ran as an unattached athlete. 1t is
said that Matthews will form an opposition
