There is one accomplishment which
for making the world go smoothly and
pleasantly along, is better than music
or the fine arts. than reading or the
gift of conversation. 1t is not taught
in any school or college-more's the

mite name;and is hardly recognized

ability to do no other one thing counts

as having tact, as being sympathetic

Era Of Evening Dress

This IS essentially the era Of the
evening dress. Even the simplest of
evening frocks arc beautiful, and may
be fashioned easily and cheaply. Thin
gauzy silks and satins, printed chtf-
fons, figured mulls and all manner of
spangled materials are used for these
gowns. Some of these fabrics are sold
make up eXquisitely, with an effect al
most equal to that obtained when very
costly materials are used.
Nearly all these evening gowns have
some picturesque touch about them:
bows set on in odd places, frills, rniilcs
or spuffings used in fetching ways.
There is something singularly youthful
about all Of them. Even those for
older people have an appropriate APP
pearance of perennial youth.
All Skirts Short.
All skirts are short The trained

Is quite out OF fashion at present, ami
all smart skirts clear the ground.
Large buttons used In decorative
fashion still cling to favor. They have
been used for 4 long time now, but
people are reluctant to part with them.
The oversight is as much in evidence
as ever, and 1t seems to accentuate tho
clinglng- about-the-a nkles effect Of tho
new skirts, for the overskirt is always
a little wider than the skirt itself
Many Of the new overskirts are gath

!, OWEN GETS $4,000
FUND ELIMINATED
Cases VIII Now Be Handled by the
State courts--Hot Fight Ex- \
pected in Conference.

Washington, D. c., June 11.-Sena-
tor Owen Friday had eliminated from
the sundry civil appropriation bill the
$4,000 appropriation asked for by the
department of justice to set aside con-
veyances of Indian land of western
Oklahoma and especially those involv-
ing fraud and an inadequate considers
alton. The elimination of the provi-
sion in the bill should have a marked
effect on the titles of the Five Civilized
Tribes as the cases will now go into
the state courts where they properly
belong, which has always been the con-
tention of the Oklahoma delegation.
OF course the department of justice
vigorously opposed the action of the
senate in eliminating the appropria-
tion from the biz and a hot fight is an
ticipated after the bill goes to confer
ence. Senator Owen stated tonight
that he will do all in his power to keep
the provision out of the measure. He
is of the opinion that the $4,000 car
ried in the Indian appropriation bill
for the administration of the district
agencies should cover any expendi-
lures involving litigation of this char
acter.
The outcome is being watched with
considerable interest as $4,000 suits
have been filed by the department of
justice involving titles to hundreds of
thousands of acres of valuable Indian
land Judge Hooks recent decision
in which he overruled Judge Campbell
who had held the suits should have
been brought in the names of the in
dividuals rather than in the name Of
the United States, has added to the
confusion.
