SMART BLOUSES
MUCH ELABORATED.
Well Chosen Color Schemes the
Secret Of Good Dressing.

The day of the shirt waist, with its
simple plaits and gathered sleeves, is
done, for awhile at least. Summer
will bring back other blouses in white,
but the colored one will continue to be
made in the loose and sometimes care
less manner that prevails today.
Most of them look as though they
had no lining, no inside belt, no shout
der straps.
They seem ready to fall off, and yet
they have a grace which is peculiarly
their own. It is the grace Of drapery
and announcement.
The materials are arranged more &C
cording to line and color than accord
ing to fit and cut. In effect the blouses
appear to be a combination of extra
broad bands of various fabrics laid
across and up and down the figure.
The sleeves seem to be an accidental
part Of the drapery dropping over the
arm. They do not show any seams or
outline the juncture of the arm and
the shoulder.
A woman knows how annoying it is
to find that she only has a blue blouse
clean when she is wearing brown suit.
The way to overcome this is to
choose ones waists rather carefully
after one has made up plan for the
summer wardrobe. If you make your
bIouses now in haphaZard fashion you
may be compelled to get suits and hats
% ruy11 oh iS tho
cart before the horse.
Some women keep to one color
scheme as nearly as possible through
out the season. They know that blue
and green and black possibly are their
chief colors, and they hold to these
regardless Of what the dyers and the
manufacturers produce. This is the
secret Of really good dressing, and you
will find upon observation that it is
the method Of nearly all women who
are conspicuous for taste in clothes.
If you know your own mind quite
thoroughly in regard to the colors you
will choose for your spring and sum-
mer suits, then it is quite wise to go
ahead with your waist, but if not it is
best to confine oneself to the choice
of black, pin dotted with white, and
dark bright blue, which goes with such
a quantity Of other colors.
The big bands are I'm very good style
this year, and they are among the
chief colors introduced on white ma
terials. Golden brown, seft shades of
green and many tones Of blue are used,
as well as cerise, pomegranate red and
any of the new wine tones.
Pink is to be in high fashion this
summer in all shades but the pastel
ones. Killarney pink, coral, flame
and watermelon are among the tones
we will see most used on sheer white
blouses of muslin, marquisette and ba-
tiste. Finely dotted swiss will also
come into favor as fabric for waists,
and it will have many adherents, as it
wears and washes well and looks ex-
ceptionally attractive under linen suits.

GARDEN IN HER HEART.

Walking one day, not long ago,
through the slums Of a city, my friend
pointed to a box Of plants on a win
dow sill, over which woman was
working.
My friend said:
LAST year that window was a riot
of green and tints--one of the rare
beauty spots in all this CRIME"
Then l thought of Humboldt's find
ing of the flower on the crater's edge.
The great naturalist tells of finding
on the verge Of the crater of Vesuvius
a sweet flower. There was just a
cupful of earth. Perhaps a passing
bird had dropped the seed. And there
on the fearful edge of things the sun
shine and rain had coaxed a flower
So the woman had grown on the lip
of this crater of misery little gar
den.
Flowers!
In profusion God has strewn them
far up the bleak side of the mountain.
in the Granny of the rocks. deep in the
canyons, in wayside oasis. God has
flowers to spare, while our flowers
must be carefully planned and plant
ed in tended gardens. But, mark you
The flowers are planted first Of all
in our hearts!
The cynosure of our eyes, they are
tended to give expression to the de,
sire of our hearts, which desire is a
faint shadow of the divine desire.
So this woman must have held a
flower garden in her heart

WANTED BIG BROTHER. q"

WANTED BIG BROTHER"
That was one of the big signs at the
child welfare exhibit held recently in
New York
You who live in the wide open space
Of the countryside or you whose lawns
or yards give room for children's joy
full play. what do you know Of child
life in the tenement districts of the big
s1ties?
In those regions live children whose
bnly place is in the foul dark rooms
frequently infested with disease or in
Che streets.
In a single block in New York citg
ive-or exist-2,371 children!
The population Of fair sized coun-
ty seat town of the middle west-chil-
dren alone, to say nothing Of adults
Is cOngested in a district no bigger than
the courthouse square, and there is no
playground but the street.
And listen!
With no other playground, of III
children arrested in New York in July,
1909, half were arrested for playing
games.
The world has wept at the sorrows
Of Poor joe" compelled by the burly
policeman to ''move on" and here is
society in the guise of big patrOlmen
arrestfng little children for playing
games on the only playground they can
have
Another exhibit showed a sad phase
of child life-children forced at a ten
der age to work in factories and sweat
shops.
For instance:
Some of the mere tots work on will
low plumes, knotting forty-two sep
arate fiIaments for cent, or at the age
of four and five years they make arti-
GciaI violets-144 for 2 cents-or they
work twelve hours picking beans Of
coffee from the sweepings.
And they die like flies

servation Of our natural resources, but
how will you compare the material
wealth of soil and forest and stream
and mine with "a better crop of boys
and gfrIs?''

, The only hopeful feature of this New
York exhibit which finds it's parallel in
all large cities is that one half the

a Bit BewiIderinu,

4 we'll known English college pro-
fessor had habit of always counting
his steps on the street and allowed
nothing to interfere with this practice.
If any one spoke to him during the
process he repeated the number of the
last step taken. One day he was ac-
costed by a man who knew him by
sight, but had never been told of the
professors habit

BEAUTY.
nv dear girl
There was a garden in her heart.

My dear girl:
You say you want to be beautiful,
which is laudable and proper. To be
fair of feature and form is woman's
natural desire.
There's a difference.
Some try to make themselves beauti
full by means Of lotions and cosmetics
and the practice Of the prescriptions
on the wOman's page.
The beauty they seek is but skin
deep 1t is of the outside only. They
do not seem to know that
Beautiful thoughts make a beautiful soul,
And a beautiful soul makes beautiful
face.
Do you know we are just beginning
to discover the power of human
thought?
"Thoughts are things" They fash
ion the body into health or illness, and
they mold the stuff of the soul into
goodness or baseness. And
What soul and body are made to be
shows on the face just as the dial of
a clock infallibly records the doings
within.
A really beautiful face is a face
TRANSPORTED.
1t is lighted from within.
Just as the candle beams shine
through and make luminous the vase
in which it is concealed, so does the
SpIendor of the human spirit shine
through fiber and nerve and tissue, up
and out into human brow and lip and
eye and make
A face illumined,
However plain may be the features.
like the vase they become transparent,
There is more than candle inside
there is an angel there. And with
beauty that never fades, but grows in
spIendor to the perfect day, the lowell
ness Of the angel CLOVIS.
And conversely
No matter how perfect the outlines
may be, ugliness of thought and feel
ing will make an ugly soul and that
ugliness will creep into the face and
spoil it.
You know this?
Yes, but doubtless you have heard it
as a sort Of pretty sentiment. You
have held it as a kind of consolation
offered to the plain OF. feature.
1t is a scientific fact.
1t is as true as that two and two
are four that beauty is not without to
work inward, but is within to work
outward

LARGE CROWD
WAS HERE To
SEE THEC|RCUS
CROWD WAS UNUSUALLY Or
Derby AND NO ARRESTS OF
ANY CONSEQUENCE OCCURRED
SHOW WAS GOOD AND WAS
ENJOYED.

Although the circus yesterday
brought a tremendous crowd to the
city, the crowd was an unusually or
derby one and the rowdyism, so often
in evidence on circus days, was con-
spicuously lacking.
Chief Of Police Sanders had prac-
tically doubled the police force for the
day and night, but comparatively few
arrests were made and those were for
plain DRINKS mostly. The police de-
partment handled the crowd excep-
tionally well and maintained the best
Of order around the show grounds and
on the streets. Although the chief Of
police had been advised that a gang
of crooks were following the circus,
no reports Of any pickpockets or other
sharper operations were received at
the station yesterday and everything
PISSED off very smoothly.
While the Forepaugh & Sells circus
is not as large, by any means, as some
Of the circuses which have been to
Pensacola recently. it is a good show
and was enjoyed by the crowds,
which almost tested the capacity of
the tent at the afternoon performance.
The entire show was above the ordi-
nary, but the feature of perhaps the
most interest to Pensacolians was the
horizontal bar work of acrobat Dun
ham, who is a Pensacola boy, and his
appearance in the ring called forth an
outburst Of applause from his old
friends.
