HORESHADOWING already what
we may expect for the coming
- fall season, the hats for late
summer indicate that we shall have
many bonnet-like shapes, tall crowns
and large hats few in number as COM
pared to small and medium-sized
models. Outing hats for July and Au-
gust are of felt In white or light
colors, such as Alice blue, champagne
and the seasons beautiful pink tones.
These are either all felt or felt and
hemp combinations and are trimmed
with scarfs, bands, soft draperies of
chiffon and wings or ribbon. They
are exquisite and, it must be con-
fessed, fragile in the matter of keep
ing clean. But they remain present
able for some time and are cleaned
with fine sandpaper. Everywhere the
floating white veil accompanies these
cool-looking creations of the milliner.
The wells are of lace, in several va,
rieties, In coarse silk nets and in
chiffon. They are all washable and
add immensely to the attractiveness
of the hats and the complexion, for
they are worn either over or off the
face.

TO PREVENT SAGGING SKIRTS
Have Garment Properly Prepared Be.
fore 1t Is Turned Up to
Be Hemmed.

Summer dress skirts when made Of
thin material will always sag after
they are hemmed and finished If care
is not taken to prevent it. A good way
to do is to have the skirt sagged first
before it is turned up to be hemmed
This is done after the skirt is COM
pletely finished excepting the hem
from the band to the final fitting and
the last hook and eye is in its place
The skirt is now hung in closet or,
better still, put upon full-length
dress form raised from the floor by
placing it on box, and the bias por.
lions of the cores weighted so they
will stretch to the fullest extent.
After several days of this strain the
material will have sagged to its full
est extent, and the hem may be meas
ured and turned up. Anything will
do for weighing The smallest weights
from the kitchen scales, put in tenn
porary coverings of muslin and pin
ned on, are excellent. Any other small
objects of uniform heaviness will do
for other weights.

before the war at Lawrence, fsIt this
one was blown down several gears
ago.
The mill was built by Charles
Schwarz He came from Holland. He
had been a miller in his native land
and when he came to Kansas to seek
his fortune on prairie farm he found
it was many miles to mill.
Schwarz saw in this an opportunity
for he had beer miller in the old
country and the strong winds of Kan
sas reminded him of the ocean winds
THAI sweep across the dikes OF Holland
and turn the mills dotted all over that
country, SO he conceived the idea OF
making the bold, free winds Of the
prairie pay toll by turning mill that
should grind the peoples grain.
But there was no machinery in this
country for such mill, SO with great
care and pains, he drew on paper
drafts of every wheel and cog and
lever and bolt, and taking them to Lin
coin, Neb., had the plans WORKED out
and the parts forged in the foundry
there.
And for nearly forty years the old
mill has been doing duty, working
when the wind blows, resting when
the calm comes; teaching it's genial
master many lesson in patience, fur
nishing food for the public roundabout,
and competence for the man who
saw an opportunity and had the skill
and perseverance to accomplish what
was. In that day, really great under
taking.

One of the greatest aids in varying
the white summer gowns is the use

flowers of the same at the ends, some
being decorated with wreaths of gold
roses at the ends in place of the other

cies that seem at once to become pop
ular, as they are shown in some of the
most exclusive shops.

Gideon Rush noticed the girl before
they reached Chicago, though he was
shy, Woodworking young man who
had really noticed few women in his
day.
But even Gideon could be pardoned
for looking again at the 'schoolma am
girl" as he quantity nicknamed her.
None but a school teacher would
have that air and that pencil. And
she was so young and SO good to
look at that Gideon was reminded OF
little girls who played at various
games, like keeping house, and going
visiting, and teaching school. She
was a school teacher; and yet the
title wasn't distinctive enough. 1t
did not classify her. She was all girl,
too-young and sweet and happy. So
"school-ma' am girl it. was.
Gideon, who was going out to Ore
gon to grow apples. saw that the
school-ma am girl had ticket much
like his own-a green one as long as
his arm.
Was she going west, too, maybe to
Oregon? But no; that was impossi-

where she would change to one of the
other hundred trains that shuttled
away in every direction.
1t was dark when they rumbled
into the bedlam called Chicago. She
seemed 80 little and alone and grave
some of her bright cheerfulness
had departed-that Gideon said re-
gretful farewell with his eyes. And
she answered the same way.
Gideon hurried into the sticky mid
summer night, because everyone else
was hufrying; found modest res
taurant in the glare and clatter; hur-
ried through meal and trotted back
to the great station as the uniformed
man at the gate was bawling his
train.
He found his tourist sleeper. Half
way down the aisle he paused. de-
