PICTURE GOWNS FOR
SUMNER AND FALL
Floral Fabrics Are the Latest Dress Innovation from
the Paris Designers.

Imagine such a gown made in Dolly Var
den fashion, and trimmed with punches
of satin flowers and stiff little rosettes!
Whether or not you will be able to find
or able to buy this new material It is in
teresting to know that It is the leader in
the revival of floral fabrics. The figures
in It are a far cry from the bold georne-
tric designs OF the Egyptian, peasant,
and Byzantine; its introduction has been
demure and unannounced by a blare Of
trumpets.
However, II one Judges the future by
the past, these floral fabrics will be in
full swing by autumn. We are all be-
ginning to see a few of them made up
into good looking frocks, by midsummer
we will see more, and possibly they will
be strongly advocated in the new things
that will be offered to US in September
for winter.
The manufacturers are never as revo-
lutionary as many think. They put out
feelers months before they make up any
thing in quantities.

HUSBAND Is GONE,
HOUSE RENT DUE
Mrs. John ]. White Asks
Aid of the Police.

Fearing that her husband has met
with foul play, Mrs. John ]. White, OF
1929 Prospect street northwest, has ap-
pealed to the police to aid her in locating
him. When he left his home several
days ago Mrs. White said he carried his
lunch and gave no intimation that he
was going to leave home. She says If
he had intended to stay away he would
have told her by telephone or letter, and
that she is sure he has met with foul
play or that he is wandering in some
other city in a demented condition.
Inspector BOardnan last night sent
kilograms to the police of large cities,
asking them to look out for Mr.. White,
and II they found him to notify the
Washington police.
Mrs. White has three small children
and no means of support. Her rent is
overdue. and the landlord threatenes to
eject her If the rent is not forthcoming
in a few days.

HUTCHINS' INCOME
FIXED AT 100000
Decided Upon as Basis for
Wife's Claims.

For the purpose Of finding a basis upon
which to place the claims of Mrs. Hutch
ins against the estate of her husband,
Stilson Hutchins, it was stipulated at the
hearing yesterday before Auditor Dent
to consider that Hutchins' income is $1OO,-
900 year.
Yesterday marked the closing OF the
testimony in the hearing of the applica:
ton of Mrs. Hutchins for an increase Of
her 5000 monthly allowance from the es-
tate Of her husband, which is opposed by
Trustee Dante.
Auditor Dent ordered Mr.. Dante to sub
nit his final testimony as to the income
of the estate. Counsel for both sides en-
tered the stipulation that 100000 would
be considered the annual income from the
estate, over and above all expenses ex-
cept mortgage charges.
Hutchins has mortgages aggregating
81, 800, 900, according to the statement OF
Attorney Brandenburg. Attorney Git
tings. counsel for Mrs. Hutchins, de-
manded the appearance for examination
Of Lee Hutchins, son of Stilson Hutchins.
A decision is expected within ten days
from Auditor Dent, who will submit his
report to Justice Gould.

Homemade Buckles.

When a buckle is required for dress
and you don't care to spend a lot on
one try this: Cut out the shape you want
in heavy cardboard. Cover 1t with the
material OF which te dress is made and
then trim 1t with whatever trimming is
being used.
A pretty one was made OF row after
row Of beads to match a dress trimmed
with bead fringe. Cover one with lace,
gold tissue, or anything ornate, and see
what a pretty, inexpensive ornament for
the back or front Of a girdle you can
have.

Hot Weather Salad.

The next time you are giving a
luncheon, and it turns out to be one
Of those extremely hot days, when
nothing tastes Just right, try this
frozen salad, which is a decided novelty.
II is also good to serve at a heavy din
ner instead OF an ice or frozen punch.
To make It. beat one package Of
cream cheese with a quarter OF a cup
OF sweet cream, six finely y chopped
raisins. a little salt, paprika, a dash CT
sugar, tablespoon of sherry. and a tea
spoon of powdered pecans. Mix well,
turn into a freezer, but do not freeze
hard. Remove in time 10 mold, then
pack in ice until ready to serve. when It
is to be sliced on lettuce and covered
with mayonnaise. And don't forget
when making iced cocoa, TO add about
two tablespoons of coffee, which adds
very much to the flavor.

For the Summer Girl,

This is the time of the year when
the woman who can pack a trunk is
very much in demand by the members
Of her own family at least. The French
woman always places the dress skirts
in the bottom of the trunk. Strips Of
tape fastened along the edge have the
skirts pinned to them with long hat
pints at belt and hem. Underwear IS
used for pads in lingerie dresses, and
stockings are rolled and used TO stuff
sleeves. Nightgowns and other starched
undercothes are folded as they come
from the laundry. Handkerchiefs. belts,
and so on are placed in labeled boxes.

THINGS MADE OF PAPER.

Paper is said to be made from barley
oats. rice. Indian corn, peas, beans, al
falfa, ramie, pine needles, tobacco, and
cotton stalks. lichens, the leaves and
barks of trees. potatoes, and other equally
strange things while linen is the ideal
material.
While paper can be made from nearly
anything, nearly everything can be made
from paper. With compressed paper are
made wheels, rails, cannon, horseshoes,
polishers for gems. bicycles and asphalt
ed tubes for gas or electric wires. With
wood pulp and zinc sulphate there has
been an attempt to make bricks for paw
ing, roofing. tile and water pipes.
Telegraph poles made of rolled sheets
of paper are shallow, lighter than wood
and resist the weather well.
1t is said that in Japan, clothing, win
dow frames, lanterns, umbrellas, hand
kerchiefs, artificial leather, &c, are made
from paper, while in America cofins, bar
rels, vases, and milk bottles are made
from this handy material Straw hats
may now be bought into which not the
least particle of straw enters, but are
made OF narrow paper strips, dyed yellow.
A patent has been obtained for paper
thread to be used in sewing shoes, and
artificial silk is now made on a basis OF
paper pulp.
The uses to which paper may be put
are varied and extensive. 1t is used to
make imitation porcelain, for bullets,
shoes, billiard table cloth, sails,for boats,
boards for building, impermeable bags
for cement and other powdered sub
s+apcas boatS opd vasSeIa IN hold wa for
A paper stove has even been made, while
houses have been built Of paper.
In Norway It is said there is a church
holding 1000 people built entirely OF
paper, even to the belfry.

n oMoRRow is your birthday,

Her birthday Ruth had forgotten
all about it
"Oh, yes" she said, clapping her
hands. dWhat fun it viii be" and then
she danced all about the room in her
joy.
Coax as she would, Ruth couldn't
get her mother to tell her just what

q very excited little girl when she went
to bed that night.
That afternoon. unknown to Ruth,
Mrs. Canton had sent out twelve tiny
letters to twelve of Ruth's playmates,
and they had all been asked to be pres
ent at birthday party at Ruth's house
on the following afternoon.
The next day was besutiful day

At a meeting OF the board Of gov
ernors of the Automobile Club of Wash.
ington. held last night at the clubhouse
| in Georgia avenue. the following new
| members were elected: John H Tabler
Harry NJ. Wheeler, E. P. Howard, E. H
Clarke, H. E. Benson, D. NJ. Smith,
Myron Marsh, and F. P. Blair
The resignation of Charles Bender, a
member OF the board of governors, who
has left the city. was accepted, and he
was made an honorary member.
The Commissioners yesterday lifted the
ban on automobilists which has hereto
| fore prohibited their use Of the Ross and
Beach drives in Rock Creek Park. The
opening OF these drives to motor cars,
makes a complete circuit of the park pos
sible and the innovation is welcomed by
the automobilists of the city. One of the
most picturesque parts of the park is
made accessible by tie order which was
issued in pursuance of the Commissioner
policy to increase the road mileage Of
Rock Creek Park.
It would not be surprising IL the an
nouncement is soon made that a merger
of the General Motors, United States
Motors, the Studebaker Corporation, and
the United States Tire Company has
been formed and backed by the MORGAN
interests. J. Pierpont Morgan, It will be
recalled, some time ago financed one Of
the above named concerns and It has
long been understood that he has been
interested in another one Of these big
holding companies. These concerns rep
resent a large proportion of the standard
cars on the market to-day and IN addi-
ton to the automobile plants which they
control they are heavily interested in a
number Of parts and accessory houses
A merger OF this kind would mean the
forming Of a company with at least q
s5O0,0o0,00o capital.
The work Of improving the Conduit
road is progressing. Between George
town and the-LittIe Falls road It is be-
ing resurfaced and from Cabin John to
Great Falls the highway is being treated
to e coat Of tarvia. This road is one of
the highways around Washington that is
most frequented by motorists who have
been complaining Of the dust and rutty
condition of the highway.
Washington cannot only stand a law
which will provide a prison sentence for
any, one who appropriates to his own use
an automobile that does not belong TO
him, but 1t also needs some adequate traf-
flc regulations" said Ted" Johnston,
manager OF the Buick Motor Co. yester-
day. "Of late there has been number
of cases IN which automobiles have been
stolen from in front Of residences as
well as theaters and ONCE buildings. In
nearly every case when the machine has
been recovered II was found to have SUI
fered some injury. A sentence would un-
doubtedly do much to do away with this
form OF theft. While enacting that law
they might tack on an amendment In the
nature OF set Of adequate traffic regula-
tons AS conditions are now person
running an automobile has not the least
idea when some one is going to cut
across In front Of him. even though he
have the right-of-way. This condition
does not exist In other citieS"
