proper for young girls to appear upon the
streets without gloves and wearing elbow
sleeves. Very truly. LUCILLE.
If the girl is old enough to wear
gloves at all, she should always wear
them upon the street. They are espe-
cially required with elbow sleeves.
though must confess that the wearing
of gloves on hot days is a foolish and
most uncomfortable fashion. However,
since women have made themselves
slaves of fashion, they must needs abide
by her dictates.

VIII you please tell me how to wash white
silk gloves, so as to keep them from yellow
ing? II use cold water, the dirt does not
seem to come out Of them; but / am told
that hot water makes them yellow.
Yours. MRS. V.
Use a soft tooth or nail brush on the
fingers of your gloves. and on the other
spots that are badly soiled. washing
them in lukewarm water and Ivory
soap. Rinse in two waters, using little
blue in the last, and dry without IRON
ing. If they seem stiff. pull them gently
into shape. Treated in this fashion,
gloves will look like new. 1t is the heat
of the iron or water used too hot that
makes silk yellow.

me almost entirely without clothes.
Very truly yours, MRS. N
! advise for yourself. one or two lin
gerie gowns, for afternoon and evening
wear. a pongee or foulard frock. and
several linen gowns that will wash cas-
fly. You should have o tailor-maGe
walking skirt. TO wear with shirt waists,
and sailor blouses, besides a medium
weight tailored suit for travelling. You
will need a sweater, stout shoes, long
coat for travelling. end Il simply trim
med straw hat, preferably a sailor. Get
a very simple outfit for the children.
One wooden dress should be enough for
the girls. and play dresses of chambray
or linen in fast colors. made in one-piece
style. One or two white lingerie dresses
trimmed as little as possible, warm
coat. sweater, and a simple hat should
complete each girls wardrobe. Romp-
ers would be nice for younger children,
and two-piece suits of white duck. with
white socks and canvas shoes should
be taken along for the boys. The chill
drcn can wear nothing better for the
train journey than the simple wash
dresses they would wear at home.

NATCnEz EXTENSION
 OF 1. AND A. ASSURED
President Buchanan Reported to Have Assured People of Jena, La.,
 of Coming Improvements.

According to the Jena, La, Ledger, a newspaper published on the line of the Louisiana and Arkansas rail- road, this line will soon commence actual operations on the construction of the extension from Jena to Nat chez, Miss.
 The La Salle Ledger says:
 Some of the high officials of the company recently admitted active work on the plans and predicted that it would be only a short time before the construction was started.
 That the l.. & A railroad will soon be extended to Jonesville and Natchez, Miss, there is no longer any doubt.
 The high officials of the road, in cluding William and James Buchan- an, Colonel Nobles and others were at Jena last week and had a confer, ence with the citizens at which time they stated that all was ready to be- gin work except securing the right of-way and employing contractors and that steps would be taken in a few days to complete this part of the preliminaries.
 MT. Buchanan assured the citizens here that if the owners of the land through which the road would pass would treat them fairly and not try extortion on them for the right-of- way that the road would be complet- ed to Jonesville in less than year
 The Ledger wishes to bespeak for the management of the l. & A. off clais the fact that they have always treated the people who had business with them or who lived in the coun- try through which their road passed with the utmost consideration and go to the limit of business principles to accommodate the public, and are now maintaining a passenger service that costs them approximately s1.25 for every s1.00 returned.
 The Ledger believes that the pro posed extension will be of material penefit to La Salle parish and would urge every citizen to assist in any reasonable degree to promota tbe enterprise. It is not the policy of this road to ask for special taxes. de- mana iree right-of-way, etc, as some other roads do, but only ask for a
 square deal' and give the same in return.
