crudJtIes In Color.

Colors are still being blended and
crude bright effects continue to claim
our allegiance, though there are evil
dences of coming change in this
direction. Meantime, however, one OF
the most exclusive and refined OF dress
designs offers an emerald green eve
ming gown, semi-empire in style, with
green and blue jeweled motifs Tor
trimming and dark red roses on the
corsage. which has decolletage dra-
perry of pink net with sash OF the
same net tasseled with brilliants and
colored beads. 1t sounds rather re-
markable, but 1t was done so har-
moniously that its effect was distinct
ly pleasing as well as chic.

above the frill. It is suited to matrons
as well as maids and resembles the
corday (of pleasant memory except
that it is smaller-a veritable cap.
The bonnet-like shape of velvet
faced with silk, has a soft crown
shaped over a crinoline foundation.
Here again one sees the fashion Of u.s.
ing the same materials for the body
of the hat and the trimming. The
wings are of velvet like the hat, lined
with silk like its facing. They are
carefully made and finished with fine
silk braid.
There is nothing startlingly new in
this shape but it will be all the more
popular for that For of many SINH
lar shapes, 1t is about the most artis-
tic and becoming. The lift or upturn
at the back of the brim is a charac-
teristic of the season which is being
featured by many designers here and
especially by one of the foremost in
Paris.
This shape is not becoming, as a
rule to older women. 1t looks best on
round faces; and then must possess a
truth of girlishness. The same brim-
lines, with different crown and trim
ming. however have proven their
worth for older wearers-

For between seasons dress, Shan
tung is a most useful material, as 1t is
light in weight yet a little warmer
than muslin or lawn.
The dress we illustrate here is in
Japanese blue, trimmed with straps
of golden brown and black silk and
black buttons with simulated button
holes.
The skirt is slightly full at the
waist, where 1t Is gathered; points Of
the fancy silk stand up from the waist

which is square at the back and point

skirt Pads.

Some dressmakers frequently have
great difficulty in making skirts cut
with the raised waist line hang
straight in front at the line of the
normal waist.
At this point the skirt breaks and
Is ant to show an ugly wrinkle, espe-
oially when the wearer is seated.
This can be avoided by making a
small oblong pad of the same material
as the skirt and inserting 1t directly
In front. The pad is made four inches

Quite serious, and what mar
rowly escaped being fatal accident,
occurred Thursday morning at Lake
Crystal while David J. Davis was as
sisting Andrew Doyle in saving
down some shade trees at the Doyle
residence in this village. A tree
stump about twenty feet high and
twenty inches in diameter had been
sawed nearly off. When Mr.. Davis
endeavored to break it off the tree
suddenly gave way and Mr.. Davis
at the same time lost his footing,
and fell to the ground. The tree fell
across his body and head. Mr.. Davis
suffered a fracture of the skull
above the right eye. Fortunately the
fracture was very low down. which
prevented fatal accident. Dr.
Lloyd and DR.. Williams were called
and removed pieces of broken bone
Mr.. Davis is now getting along nice
ly at his home.

The Royal Moelwyn Male Choir of
North Wales, under the direction of
Professor Cadwaladr Roberts, gave
two excellent concerts Saturday and
Sunday evenings at the Welsh and
Presbyterian churches respectively.
and to say that those present were
highly pleased, is, putting 1t very
mildly The manner in which they
rendered such compositions as "The
Destruction of GAIA" by Rifle, ITO
Arms" by Maunder, "The Soldiers
Chorus" by Gounod, "The Hallelujah
Chorus" and others equally as diff
cult. was positive proof to the appre-
ciative audiences that they were mas
tiers of the art. This is without
doubt one of the best organizations
that have visited this country, the
harmony and blending of their voices
being something wonderful. almost
perfect. Not single member of the
organization has ever taken a course
in musical training, or voice culture,
but it must be remembered that they
are selected from among the slate
quarters of North Wales, where
there are hundreds of others al
most il not equally as good, which
speaks volumes for the musical tai
ent of the country.

Members of the Woman Relief corps
of Moorhead and Fargo were very
pleasantly entertained by Mrs. ]. B.
Blanchard, at her home, 224 Eighth
street north yesterday afternoon. The
beauty and appropriateness of the dec
orations Of the rooms of the hostess
were very favorably commented upon
by the guests, especially the liberal
end tasty display Of the national tri-
colors. The programme for the aft
ernoon was In perfect keeping with
the occasion and very interesting to
ladies of advanced age. A humorous
reading was given by Mrs. Talbot, who
impersonated a young girl reciting her
first "piece" before the district school
board. Mrs. Wood aroused a great
deal of laughter with her recital of a
poem, The Awkward School Boy. Mrs.
G. E. Putnam. Eleventh street, Fargo,
mother of Dr. G. S. Putnam, gave great
enjoyment in her renditions on the or
gan of a number of patriotic airs. Re
freshments were served on the porch
and there were covers for twelve. The
party was a most delightful one and
at it's conclusion the hostess was
heartily thanked for the delightful
time afforded.

Court Was Lenient.

After hearing all of the testimony
and understanding all the circum-
stances, Justice Wade considered the
conviction of Frank Rundgren of the
charge of assault and battery upon the
person of Mrs, Ernest Rundgren, early
last Sunday morning, one for the ex-
ercise OF leniency and a fine of SIS and
costs was imposed. 1t will cost the de-
PENDANT nearly $50 to keep out of jail.
The trouble followed certain hilari-
ties in connection with an alleged beer
party at the home of e. c. Erickson,
Fifteenth street north, last Saturday
night.
The court says that 1.-THE evidence
given at the hearing disclosed the fact
that the complaining witness was much
to blame, as she herself displayed un-
comfortable anger and violence, and
was not at all gentle with the person
of cripple boy who was in the room"
The party has proven very costly,
in more ways than one, to those who
participated in it and the neighbors
believe that the unexpected publicity
and fine will act as a deterrant and
put an end to revelries which had be-
come to be somewhat OF a nuisance.

EVENING Grain Letter.

Chicago, July s,-The weather in the
northwest generally more favorable
and good rains were reported in Can
ads. The cash demand here was poor.
The country continues to offer new
wheat to arrive freely. Harvesting
has commenced in parts of Minnesota
and will be general next week. Thresh-
ing returns from the winter wheat
districts are very favorable. The crop
is turning out a great deal better than
generally expected and it looks as
though estimated would have To be
raised. Final figures, in our opinion,
will show at least 475,000,0O0 bushels
Trade was rather light and mostly all
of q local professional character. The
market opened firm in sympathy with
flrmness in corn but realizing caused
prices to react. As long as the weather
keeps favorable in the northwest, we
are inclined to think that present
prices are high enough and rather
favor sales on all bulses.
Corn: Liverpool reported their mar
ket NC higher in sympathy with the
strength on this side The weather
throughout the corn belt generally clear
and warm. Good general soaking rains
are badly needed too, unless they come
soon, prices will go higher. The mar
ket after opening firm, later declined
on free realizing and general DISPOSE

The plans ana specifications for
Moorhead,s new hotel have been form

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, July SIT looks as If
another crop scare In wheat is getting
under way with North Dakota in the
storm center. Temperatures are some
what higher but they were not at the
danger line taking the state as whole.
1t was noticeable that all the bull
houses had a material increase in the
visible supply of damage reports, most
of them from Minneapolis and from
good houses. Weather conditions of
late have been most favorable for crop
and trade was a little slow to believe
all the sensational claims. On all bulges
the crowd were filled with long wheat
from the bulls and by hedging sales.
The situation looks better to traders
for the time being and there is little
disposition to sell short until more def
mite returns can come from the north
west as to the outcome of the crop.

THE MISFORTUNES
OF THE MIDDLE AGED

Ample provision Is made for the
young and the old. The city is full
az homes for children. "Child-wel-
fare" il a common phrase, and play
grounds with clever teachers are pro-
vided. Orphanages. homes, asylums,
summer colonies, evry variety or sue
cour. entertainment, shelter, amuse-
ment and instruction is provided Tor
them And there is none too much.
The instructive love we all have for
children, pity for their misfortunes,
syrnpatf1y for their helplessness, pity
for their little griefs, prompt US to put
our arms around them and open all
the doors Of our hearts to give them
welcome and relief
our pity for the aged is something
akin to what we feel for children. They
have had the long struggle OF years.
They bear the scars of many battles,
but the campaign has gone against
them, and weary with the strife, de-
pressed by repeated defeats, with am
bition gone and strength impaired,
they have give up the struggle and
hopeless, dispirited, they have become
dereIicts, drifting In stormy seas, rud-
derIess, composites. having lost the
star by which they steered. Kind
friends have put their hands upon
them and have brought them
into the shelter OF friendly
port and they have been brought to
safe anchorage where they can spend
thu remnant of their days without
want and without care.
There are no nobler buildings in the
great city than the homes for the aged.
They are not a few. Provided with
every comfort, treated with the ten
derness which loving children give
their parents. not only with every ma
terial want provided for. but with ev-
cry kindly service which can mitigate
their loneliness. Strong men with UNI
stinted hand furnish ample means,
and loving women come from their
many cares and sit In their rooms and
listen patiently to their little griefs
and sympathiza with their sor-
rows and g4v@ the balm of
their sisterIy tenderness. Only
