BUT APOLOGY FOR PETTIcoAT
Delightful AbsurditIes In the Way Of
Undergarments Now Popular
In Paris.

OF course, you may veal a petit
coat If o insist upon it, and many
of us still do insist, In spite of the
rival charms of the satin Knockers
and culottes. But the real modish
petticoat does little to relieve the
situation. OF accordion plated chif-
fon or mousseline de sole, and so
soft and pliable that 1t can readily
pass through a bangle, one may, to
be sure, stand between the onlooker
and the sun without too pronounced
X-ray effect, but, as for relations of
outline, the smart petticoat but aids
and abets the efforts Of the frock.
There are in Paris some delightful
absurdities In the shape of combina-
lions and p%etticoats that SO closely
hug the figure that they are scarcely
more than a second skin.
Freakish are often given to
some narrow freaks which are really
Knockers in substance and divided
skirts in effect.
These are made to cover combina-
tons of silk or fine gauze, and are
a sort of apology for a petticoat.
These garments are, 1t would appear,
de rigueur in IN age when the visible
movement of the limbs is necessary
to give cachet to the clinging skirts
of the hour.

DRESSES FOR MISSES
LINGERIE MATERIALS ARE BEST
FOR SUMMER WEAR.
Bebyfled Form of BoIero Is Beginning
to Be Popular AgaIn-Bordered
Textures Are Much In
Use.

Without question lingerie materials
make the daintiest summer frocks for
small girls, and the large use of en-
broidery 1ouncings and bordered tex
lures Of all sorts is especially favoring
to home sewers, for these provide the
trimming ready made. The little
models are all cut with an eye to the
use of these smart landings, some Of
the little gathered skirts being In one
deep flounce or two, so as to show
off the pretty borderings to the best
advantage. Upon the bodice of the
little one-piece dress the n~eedlework
or woven border will be used as bre-
telles, or the ornate edge of the goods
will be put upward to shape a yoke for
a kimono cut, this running down I'M
der the arm to shape the lower por-
ton of the elbow sleeves. The necks
of the smartest gown for girls up to
ten will be cut square or round. The
skirts come no farther than the knee
caps, and soft g%littering ribbons in
pale blue, pink or corr color may be
generously used on the finer wash tex
lures.
For girls from six to ten there are
many princess effects. with the front
in a single piece and the back and
sides showing a distinct bodice and
skirt look, while small maids to whom
the jacket look is becoming will have
their little frocks decked off with all
sorts of bolero effects, these made
entirely separate or outlined on the
dress material with trimming of some
sort.
Dress styles for girls under ten are
not scant as for older ages, all the cos
tunes being made with regard for 1u-
venile comfort. 1t is for this reason
that the cut-out necks and short
sleeves are so much approved, but
while providing delicious comfort for
hot weather wear such effects are
charmingly becoming to childish
threats and dimpled arms. For party
use especially, this decolletage is adj
visable, but if the child i. too thin for
It to be becoming there can be a sep
arate guimpe and bishop undersleeves
in a thin lawn or net as the frock ma
terial requires.
Our illutration depicts the baby1ed
form of the bolero that is beginning
to be so popular again, and the dress
is of pale blue dotted muslin with the
insertion bands and simulated Jacket
of imitation Irish lace. The gown

A SPOON SHAKER.
Straight From Coffeedom,

Coffee can marshall a good squadron
Of enemies and some very hard ones to
overcome. A lady in Florida writes:
Il have always been very fond of
good coffee, and for years drank it at
least three times a day. At last, how
ever, I found that 1t was injuring me.
II became bilious, subject to fire.
quent and violent headaches, and so
very nervous, that I could not lift a
spoon to my mouth without spilling a
part of its contents.
my heart got 'rickety' and beat so
fast and so hard that l could scarcely
breathe, while my skin got thick and
dingy, with yellow blotches on my face,
caused by the condition of my liver
and blood.
II made up my mind that all these
afdictfons came from the coffee, and +
determined to experiment and see.
so I quit coffee and got a package
OF Postum which furnished my hot
morning beverage. After a little time
l was rewarded by a complete restora-
ton of my health in every respect.
II do not suffer from biliousness any
more, my headaches have disappeared,
my nerves are as steady as could be
desired, my heart beats regularly and
my complexion has cleared up beauti-
fully-the blotches have been wiped out
and it Is such a pleasure to be well
again." Name given by Postum Co.,

KANSAS HAS A STORM DRILL
School Cyclone Cellars Are Becoming
Popular Since Twlsters Are More
Frequent-PuplIs Uneasy.

Leavenworth, Kan.-Under an order
Of the school board of Brown county
every schoolhouse within its borders
will hereafter be supplied with a cy-
clone cellar, to which the teacher
must lead her pupils whenever any
sign of a twister appears In the sky.
The cyclone drill is To- a part OF
the daily school routine, instead OF
the fire drill in city schools. Brown
county is where fully a third OF the
school houses were destroyed by a
tornado. So many pupils were hurt
and scared that 1t was decided tnat
a place of refuge must be provided at
each school.
The parents of the youngsters were
unanimous for this reform. Practf-
cally every farmer in that section.
which seems peculiarly susceptible to
violent windstorms, has what is
known in Kansas as "a 'fraid hole"
and there is no reason why their chill

More than $100,000 will be expended
In new schoolhouses in the country.
instead of the old white school house
Of pioneer days each will be a modern
brick building, with a basement for
the furnace and a specially construct

VARYING Prices of HOLSTERS.

Lovers of lobster ought to get a lot
of comfort out of a recent paragraph
In the famous old Kennebec Journal,
which says that the c%rustacean are
"dirt cheap" However. the Journal
adds, they are not as low in price
as in the old days, when they sold
six for rs cents, but the price has
fallen to 16 cents a pound, which is
decidedly different from the figures
that were being quoted early in the
spring. Then they were being bought
fishermen, and the price in Boston
and New York scared to 80 cents a
pound, and, in some cases, beyond"

New Idea.

The latest way of charmingly ex-
pressing patriotic and loyal senti-
ments is by wearing red and white
and blue flowers. OF course red gera-
NUNS, blue c~ornflowers and white
pinks are not suggested. This Is q
method much too crude for the cul-
tured modern woman. No; the new
flowers are made of soft satin ribbon
and are of colors which nature does
not yet supply. The red, white and
blue cluster Of roses is an absolute
harmony; the white is that of old
ivory; the red, soft, deep and rich;
the blue. a delicious one. with a
touch of purple in it. The flowers
look as if fingers never touched them;
If Dame Nature took to growing them
In satin, she could do no better. These
are the latest cachet to a smart even
ing bodice or to an outdoor costume.

Titles in ENGLAND.

Forty or fifty years ago few people
in England had titles. There were
only a few decorations which entitled
their owners to put the prefix "Sir"
before their names. We all Of us
looked down with lofty contempt
upon the counts and barons that were
SO plentiful in continental countries.
Now we can do SO no longer, for
probably there is no other country in
the world where the traffic in titles
Is so open and so indecent as in Eng
land. What the number of our deco
rations is l do not know, and l mag
inc that few do. Every few years
some new n is created and an Eng
lishman with a taste that way can
easily manage to exhibit himself COW
cred with metal disks and bits of
ribbon like some successful COW at an
agricultural show. These embellish-
ments may flatter the vanity Of their
wearers, but they do not increase the
respect that is felt for Englishmen.-

very simple little affair of gathered
skirt and full baby bodice, but the
skirt may also be plated and the neck
and sleeves be made long as the real
view shows.
Now many mothers have bits of ma
terial on hand that would be pretty
for a little odd jacket Of this sort, fol
in case of the bolero being separate
it could be used on chilly days with
several frocks. Any all-over lace, silk,
cashmere or satin, in a pretty color
could be used. If the coat is only
simulated with trimming, as here, the
effect will permit the use of two kinds
of material, which is always an ad-
vantage In the eyes of mothers who
have to make over the frocks of one
child for another.

quires FIVE yards of material twenty

to begin the improvement work. This
was -four years ago and the permanent
Improvement work of the cemetery
has been going on ever since and VIII
continue forever. The property has
been decided to a board of trustees, Of
which Mr.. Whiting is president and
also general superintendent OF the
cemetery. This board has been incor-
porated for 1000 years and it Is bound
to maintain the cemetery forever. No
grave can ever be neglected, as under
the terms of the charter the board is
compelled to set aside a certain part
of its revenue to go into a perpetual
care fund, the interest on this fund
being sufficient to care for the prop
erty.
The college and the Christian asso-
Citations receive two-thirds OF the en-
tire sum obtained from the sale OF
lots in the cemetery, and they al
use the money for any purpose they
decide. No n except the actual work
ers In the cemetery receive a salary
and no dividends except to the col
Iege and Christian associations are
declared. The college receives about
one half of the total amount received
from the sale Of lots. The Young
Women's Christian association re-
ceives the next largest share and the
Y. M. C. A. the next division. All the
rest of the money from the sale OF
lots and the amount received for open
ing graves and caring for lots goes
into the perpetual care fund OF the
cemetery.

Artistic Candle Holders.

At a time of the year when flower
luncheons are all the rage try raw
potato candle holders as a distinctive
decoration! In themselves they are
anything but decorative; but properly
treated they are as artistic as they
are novel. Cut a slice from one side
of a smooth potato so that 1t will
stand firm; then hollow it out SO that
1t will hold the candle firmly and
then pin daisy heads closely together
all over this foundation, making a per-
feet ball of daisies. Use white candle
shades on which have been pasted
white daisies, scrap pictures or dali
sizes cut from paper napkins. The re-
suit is equally beautiful If carried out
with large wild v~iolets, "black-eyed
Susans," the little pink-tipped Eng
lish daisies, or, If the function is not
too lengthy, with pansy heads.

m STOCKINGS,

Stockings often match the colored
band on wool frocks.
Shoes worn with them are usually
white.
This is a trying style, however, and
needs a pretty foot to carry it off well.
Fastidious women r choosing
stockings Of a less brilliant hue.
Sheer Isle and silk hose are used,
but sthere is a shade more body to
them than there was last year.
Shot silk or two toned Isle stock
ings are popular.
They come in two tones Of gray,
black and white, white with a color
and two color combinations.
The number Of white stockings that
have been sold this season is a proof
that white footwear will be much af-
fected.
Women Of conservative taste will
stick to black stockings with black
shoes, brown stockings with bronze
shoes and white with white.

A Good Idea.

The hostess who has experienced
the confusion Of seating a large num-
Der of guests at small tables will ap-
preciate the device of one woman who
accomplished it gracefully.
The guests were to be seated in sew
eral rooms at tables holding six and
four. The hostess made an alphabet
list of guests and hung it in the hall.
Opposite the name of each woman was
the number Of the table and the room
In which it was set. On the tables,
each of which had It's separate floral
piece, was a number cut from gilt pa.
per and placed in center Of flowers SO
It could be quickly seen. Place cards
were used, as at an ordinary luncheon.

Hiram Davis of Newburg went for
a walk with his father eight years
ago. The father stopped to talk with
a friend, and Hiram. then about 10
years old, walked on. He was never
seen after that until he walked into
his parents home recently.
The police all over the east were
on the lookout for him, the Hudson
river was searched and finally he
was given up for dead. When he
greeted his mother it was some hours
before she could be Gained.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, 53d &
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. II you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your commune
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter
view.
MUNYON'S Paw Paw Pills are unliks
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
~corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are % feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
/ had my way I would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion,
and SO p~aralyze the bowels hat they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
