sters journeyed from Baltimore to
Washington to be introduced to the
president. When Mr.. Taft shook hands

WeIl-Dressed Women Realize the Pos
sIbiIlties Of This Most Charm
Ing Garment.

The Irish lace blouse, simply fash
toned to show the beautiful pattern of
the lace. is great favorite still with
well dressed women. and there is ev-
cry indication that the summer vogue
of real lace will be carried far into
the coming season. Many of the new-
est evening gowns are elaborately
founced with lace.
At the moment one OF the most FASH
fonable laces is chantilly. which has
endless possibilities as a yelling. A
very favorite combination is black and
white. and the smart afternoon frock
and evening toilet Is carried out in
white charmeuse or crepe. yelled with
fine black chantilly. Sometimes the
tunic is of chantilly. and instead of
clfnging to the ught-fitting skirt OF
yesterday this lace tunic meets frock
of valenciennes frills or deep fiounce
of chantilly.
Irish point de venise and filet are
used for fiat trimmings, and some very
charming effects are produced in fine
ly darned filet.

necessarily on a smaller scale. Charles
G. Gates has been known for several
years as a spender. Now, with up
ward of S30.000.000 In his control. will
he prove to be a spender to an extent
proportionate to the reputation he has
gained as an embryo. or as the son
OF John w. Gates?"
Several transactions in which young
Gates has figured and which may be
regarded as significant are recalled
here. While they perhaps no more
than verge on the sensational. they
disclose. 1t is pointed out. a character
that In time may develop true bet

1t is recalled that in 1901 Charles
Gates decided he wanted a seat on the
New York stock exchange. and to get

ord price paid for a seat up to that
time.
On one occasion John w. Gates
went to Texas on a shooting trip and
left his son in charge of his Wall
street brokerage office. One day the
latter went out before the books
closed on Colorado Fuel & iron, bor-
rowed about 10000 shares and had 1t
transferred into his own name. After
the books closed he returned the GER
tiicates, but gave proxies on them to
Mr. Hartman.
BY strange coincidence, George J.
Gould owned all OF this stock. He had
planted it about Wall street to see
what would happen to 1t. When Mr..
Gould saw the clever move made by
young Gates-for the Colorado Fuel
war had Just begun, and such moves
counted-he let Hartman go ahead

Little Girl Made Brave

This incident occurred just after a
Jewish holiday. 1t was In a third
grade school in Cleveland in a dis
trict Of Russian and Hungarian Jews.
The teacher was explaining the
meaning of the word judicious. She
asked the children to give her stories
about the word.
After several had given illustra-
tons about the judicious use Of
money, the teacher said:
Now give me story about some
thing judicious without money In it."
A little girl finally volunteered. She
said:
"on our holiday we had roast goose
and whole lot of other Jew dishes"

counting the stock until the next day,
when young Gates was overwhelmed
by having served on him legal papers
by the numerous brokers from whom
he had borrowed the stock, ordering
him to send the proxies on 1t to them
and telling him that II he attempted
to vote it at the Denver meeting they
would bring suit for damages. Gates
had run head on into the law and had

When John w. Gates was in his
prime he was familiar figure and a

was his son. The latter's best record
OF winnings was made at Los Angeles,
when he took $4,000 from the Santa
Anita bookmakers. Returning to the
city on the last day Of the meeting

for dog worth $50 He then gave it

The following is a sample:

This request came over the teIe-

Present Style Lends Itself to Those
Afflicted-Much May Be Done
In Infancy

The girl with an ugly ear should re-
1oice in the present style of couture.
for 1t is easy to disguise her defect.
Halr Is draped low on the sides, but
unless you wish to be thought earless
or deformed. do not draw your hair
too low.
A noted French beauty specialist
has said that a woman adds much to
her charm by half concealing her
ears. and few Frenchwomeu would
draw the hair straight up from the
ears In the fashion that Americans
adopt
The same authority states that
every woman who would look young
should put a daub of rouge on the
lobe Of the ear and should be careful
not to wear earrings If they harden
the lines OF the face or make 1t ap-
pear broader.
III one has an ugly ear or an ugly
Ihand 1t is better unadorned, though
sometimes a distorted or badly shaped
lobe is half concealed by circular ear
rings.
The present day hat is friendly to
the ugly ear, as one can tuck punches
or flowers. rosettes or lace frills under
the brim. 1t is easy to. adjust velvet
streamers SO they fall over the ears.
II ears are badly shaped little can
be done to remedy them-art is the
sole hope; but If they stand out. some
or the muscles may be cut. This
should never be done save by sur
geon, and one who is a specialist.
Mothers have much to answer for
In permitting outstanding ears on chill
dren. 1t is carelessness or Ignorance
not to use ear straps during the forma,
tive period. There are several good
varieties sold. Babies should not &C.
quire the habit of playing with the
lobe OF the ear or Of sleeping with II

to the best shaped organ in this way.
The flaming ear is trying and, II
not caused by digestive or blood
troubles, the colorfulness should be
