is surprisingly serviceable in the
dark colors, is also good.

Upon lingerie frocks of the second
class one may squander as much
wealth as one feels inclined to. Laces
and embroideries are sometimes used
on them so lavishly that the identity
of the foundation material becomes a
thing hard to determine. But their
dimensions are so scanty that the eff
feet of elaborateness is lost, and cost
~ decorations are not allowed TO go
to waste by being hidden by the
voluminous folds of the skirt.
The one.piece linen frock is enor-
mously popular, as Is the one-piece
tub frock of any and every material,
and II forms the cornerstone and
foundation of the summer woman's
wardrobe this year. Ii deserves its
popularity, for a more trim, simple,
chic frock for summer than this same
linen frock in its successful phases 1t
would be hard to plan. Everything has
conspired 10 contribute to its success.
The manufacturers of linen have
achieved a iightness and suppleness
in the linens which were unknown TO
the old weaves and which remove
many of the old objections to the ma.
terial.
There are still kinds of linen that
rumple very easily, but there are
others that keep fresh fairly well, and
their softness makes them much more
easily Numbered than they once were.
The simplicity with which the smart
tub frock is made is also advantage
Gus in laundering, and the tub skirt
of the season does not make half the
trouble in the laundry that the plated
skirt did.
The colorings in the linens are love
lier and more varied than ever before,
and given a simple frock in some one
of these beautiful colQrs. quite with,
out trimmings other than self bands,
buttons and a becoming and modish
white collar, one has a summer morn
ing frock or informal afternoon frock
that is practically ideal when the tenn
perature Is not so high as TO call for
something more sheer than linen.

sawdust and caused a fire last night IN
the store Of the Morris Electric Com
pany No 315 Shipley street. The blaze
was discovered about 8 35 o'clock and
an alarm was turned in from box No.

was much smoke but little fire In tne
building and the firemen quickly ex-
tinguished the flames which <tused
but slight damage.
Frank NJ Phillips, David Brown and
George Shibe discovered the blaze
and in trying to open the door, the
plate glass was broken. One Of the
trio then clambered through the
opening into the store and threw the
burning box into the street and as
the flames had communicated witt
the counter. an alarm was sounded
The Fame Company was the first OF
the scene and extinguished the fir
with chemical.
The management Of the Morris Elec

Every detail obtainable in the pri-
vate life of Dr. Knabe was thoroughly

into a most extraordinary one and I
am satisfied that only by continued
search of the private life of the dead
woman will we be able to solve the
mystery Of her death"
That Dr. Knabe had offended many
persons in recent years, owing to her
erratic temperament and bluntness of
speech, is information that the police

persons. some of whom are said to
stand high in professional and social
life IN Indianapolis have been given

day.
The skill with which the throat of
the dead physician was cut and the
apparent completeness or the precau-
tions taken by the slayer to avoid
leaving any evidence that would lead
