aradise plume in front is strikingly

Paradise plume in front is strikingly effective.
 Some of the smartest gowns for mid summer wear are of striped and checked chiffon in white and grey, white and black and white and blue. These frocks are made very simply; some of them have nothing in the way of trimming save silk cord for a ceinture and a collar on the sailor or der of lace or plisse muslin or of eye let embroidery. One dressmaker in New York has made a speciality of these simple frocks this season and they are being worn at Newport almost to the exclusion of all other morning gowns by the women who spend their mornings at the Casino listening to the orchestra. Most of these soft and frag- ile frocks are made sensible for out door wear by deep hem of black yelling which is the Parisian happy thought of the season.
 Marquisette (of cotton as we'll as of silk) makes charming frocks and in white embroidered with color is very Frenchy Black and white is in favor this year, some of the most artistic
 dressmakers declaring it is cooler in effect than any color. Relieved by a hat and parasol of some striking tint, as. for instance. emerald green, bril- liant blue. purple or coral, the tout ensemble is very striking.

COlOred
 MuSlinS
Now in Vogue-All White Not as Popular as it Used to Be-The
 Vogue of Stripes

All white is not much worn. No one gives reason for it, but everyone ac- cepts it. But for the first time in many years coiored musfins, figured and striped, are in demand. Stripes are in. the lead and peppermint candy muslin is popular. Blue and white striped dimity and lawn are used and the opportunity here for trimming fs an attractive one. A blue and white striped lawn that has been greeted fled peasant bodice. with a small sleeve (this point is important as the large kimono Sleeve is not considered appro- priate for gowns of this practical char acter) and skirt that is narrow, gath cred slightly and fastened at the side front with white braid buttons through a one-inch strip of blue cotton mar quisette This band with it's buttons runs up on the blouse and down each sleeve. The cuffs and shaped collar are of white eyelet embroidery, button holed here and there on the design with blue mercsrized floss. There is no belt, as the skirt and blouse are joined under a gathered cord.
 This cord ceinture is one of the new little ideas of the summer and ft fs very becoming to many figures. The cord in wash frocks is not visible, as it is in gowns of other fabrics, but the material is gathered over a cord, thus defining the waist line and vet not accentuating it.
 Dyed eyelet embroidery is c fad Of the summer, geranium red. brilliant blue and emerald green being some ef the tints that are used for collars and cuffs on gowns of dark colored fou- lards.
 A novelty is fringed ruchfngs of plain and changeab1e taffeta, which are used on the edges of sailor collars and skirt folds.
 A blue marquisette frock, which is made without lining and to be worn over slip of yellow or rose color. has skirt slightly gathered to high waist line on one of the new silk cords mentioned above, and as if marrow towards the knees 1t is met with tw wide folds of the material edged wfta half-inch ruchings of green and bf@ taffeta.

There is a collar1ess guimpe of this lace with f1esh-co1ored net which is the mode of the moment.

white satin is made with the utmost simplicity and ornamented solely with a severe line of tiny white buttons. These might be of satin, of brilliants or of jet if one wishes a striking effect. This gown was very like the one that was worn by Mrs. George Gould at the wedding of her daughter Vivien who married Lord Decies few months ago, and the model was designed by a French couturiere especially for this occasion.

A HANDY ICE CHEST

IN BUILDING our pantry we had our \ refrigerator put up two feet from
 the floor, against the north wall of the house. This brings the refrigerator shelves where they are easy to reach and clean and makes an excellent dry. cool "lockup" below for rafsins, nutsy loaf sugar, chocolate, etc. A window at the back admits the ice in summer: leaving it open in winter makes fcs unnecessary. There are separate steps to this window, so that the iceman is not obliged to track either kitchen or porch. M. d.

The Story of an Idea
How the Housewife's Burnt Arms Led to the Invent
 ing of the Patent Potato Baker
By JACK GLENISTER

TT WAS Sunday, and the good house
 wife was in the kitchen preparing dinner, while her lord and master
 reclined 1azily in his favorite chair in the "den," reading the Sunday pa pers. Suddenly, from the kitchen, "Ouchi" "Oh, dear! followed by suppressed moan. Wondering what could be the matter, the lord and master" dropped his paper and hast ened to the kitchen to investigate. When he arrived there his good wife was holding her arm under the cold water faucet and was almost at the point of tears. What's the matter, in the oven to turn the potatoes over andetouched the top with my arm and burned it," said she, holding up her arm, showing a red mark across 1t where it had come in contact with the

for Deluge.

tected at the Richmond post office.

30 as to cause as little delay as posi-
BILE Most of the extra matter now
passing through Is in the form of cata-
logues from mail order houses, adver-
Using toys, cheap jewelry, and SINH
lar aticles. Thanksgiving cards of
greeting are also filtering through the
office.
postmaster Haas says he expects an
exceptional holiday business. and his
men will be ready to handle any
amount that may come. The authori-
ties Judge that this season stands a
good chance Of being a record-break-
er. and they anticipate big rush as
the holidays grow nearer. In order to
handle the increased business, it is
announced that the regular substi-
tutes will be put to work as an extra
force to relieve the carriers. If the
mail becomes too heavy. wagons will
be chartered to deliver a part of the
surplus. Superintendent l.. A. Hand
ley says that there is no danger Of
the Richmond office being swamped,
for he believes the preparations made
are ample to insure an immediate
delivery. People sending packages
out of the city are warned, however,
to allow an extra day or two for de-
livery.

RIVAL CANDIDATES
TAKE EXAMINATION
To Determine Who Will Be
Next Postmaster at Will
liamsburg, Ind.

Keen rivalry marked the civil ser
vice examination held this morning at
the local post office. to fill vacancy
caused by the resignation of the post
master at williamsburg Four per
sons, Echo Wooley. William Quigley.
J. Creighton Ball. and Simon Wedle,
appeared at the Richmond office this
morning to take the test, and all spent
strenuous hour trying to secure the
highest grade. The whole town Of
Williamsburg is excited over the ex-
animation, and most of the residents
have announced their favorites for
the position. Although the candidates
themselves would not admit that the
rivalry had become 80 intense, they
stated that every one Of them came
here Ito get the job for it carries
with it salary of about a dollar a
day, and is considered the best office
in Williamsburg. The candidates
were somewhat disappointed in the
test for they claimed it was not stiff
enough to show their true genius. In
the opinion of the contestants, they all
got 100 per cent.
1t is now believed that the lnSpec-
ton by a civil service examiner. who
is soon to visit Williamsburg with a
view of finding out the facilities for
conducting the business, will be used
to determine the successful candidate,
and the quartet will devote the next
few days to preparations for good
showing when the inspector comes.
Cooks for the Indian service are the
latest need of the government, accord
ing to notice just received by l.. A.
Handley, district secretary of the civil
service board. Men and women be-
tween the ages of 20 and SO are eligi-
BILE for the office, the principal re-
Quirement for which is statement of

test is to be held on the second of De-
cember.

SURVEYING OF LINE
HAS Been ORDERED
Northern Route Will Be
Mapped Out First by
Traction Experts.

To let the contract for survey i'm
mediately. and 10 push the work of
constructing the proposed Richmond
and Eastern Indiana traction line,
were the orders which the stockhold-
ers of the new company gave to spe-
cial committee composed of Charles
Jordan and Judge Comstock. at meet
ing last evening in the Commercial
Club rooms. At the directors dinner,
held in the Y. NJ. c. A. prior to the gen.
eral meeting. the officers of the COM
pany considered finally the two propo-
, sitions that had been made by engi-
neering concerns, and determined
their choice, which was later approx
ed by the stockholders. The hope now
is to have all the outside work in con-
nection with the surveying, completed
by the first of next year.
AS consequence of last nights
tract for the preliminary work will be
awarded to an Indianapolis engineer
ing firm. Several details in the bid sub
mitted by this concern, however, did
, not meet the approval of the stockhol-
ders, and Messrs. Jordan and Com
stock will go to indianapolis Monday
morning to discuss some changes in
the proposition. If the engineers &C.
commodate the traction committee, it
is thought the contract will be let the
first Of next week. The survey is to be
! started as soon as the traction officials
and engineers come to an agreement,
and the r. &, f. l. men expect to have
all the outside work completed before
the first of January, 1912.
The surveying will first be done be-
tween this city and Portland as there
are no complications in that direction,
while some time will elapse before a
start can be made on the southern
route. The first matter to be determin-
ed by the engineers will be to locate
the line positively. Furthermore, they
will establish the grade, make com
plete maps of the route, and describe
the right of way. They will be called
upon to draw up plans and specifica-
tons for all bridges, power houses,
and sub-stations, and to inform the Of
ficials how many cubic yards OF dirt
will be involved in making the cuts
and fills.
The financing of the proposition is
not worrying the officers of the new
line, as they are positive enough capt.
tai will be secured to put the line
through. All the stock that has been
put on the market has been taken,
! and the payment of the outstanding
stock is w"'l advanced. so that . it
would not j., difficult to secure the re-
mainder of the money due.

People judge of temperature by the
feel" and that method often mis-
leads. They guess at how much they
eat. They think they are dieting,
when they are gorging.
They sometimes diet by eating two
meals day, and then do harm in two
ways: First, because the total guam
titiy of food taken in the two meals
exceeds the quantity formerly taken
in three; second, because an over
heavy meal clogs the system worse
than the same amount of food in two
meals.

and nearly their share of consump-
