for a loan, expenses" are piled up to an indefensible amount and notes for the entire sum are demanded of the victim.
 When these notes fall due they are collected, if the borrower is so fortunate as to be able to pay. If he is not, new loan, with new expenses and more notes, is made and the performance is repeated as long as may be. The lender has an effective club over the head of the borrower in the threat that nOncom- pliance with the terms laid down will result in complaint to the lat ter's employer, resulting in his dis missal. The sum total of misery and suffering directly traceable to these bloodsuckers is astounding and the instances in which they have profit cd from the misfortune of the poor almost stagger credulity.
 Recently several convictions have been obtained of loan agents hitherto apparently beyond the reach of the law These have encouraged the au- thorities in the opinion that a gen eral attack upon this whole class of malefactors can be made with eX cellent prospects of success. An in- vitltion has been issued to all vic tims of the swindlors to report their experiences to the district attornev. He intends to prosecute in all cases in which conviction is likely, and there is a pleasant prospect that q number of particularly obnoxious scoundrels may soon be in jail.

THE CASE OF THE CIRL,s

 their daughters, and some means of furthering them, are apt to look upon

built on very simple lines and the lace
trimming. though heavy and substan-
tial in quality. is quite simply ap-
piled. White wolfe and Flanders lace
with insertions of narrow cluny are
effectively combined and the frock is
dropped over a slip of lilac silk. the
hat being of leghorn with a trim
ming of pansies ana tea roses. A
parasol of shirred black chiffon and
white silk accompanies this afternoon
frock and though the skirt is long, it
does not trail, and beneath it are Wis
ible white button oXfords worn with
white silk stockings.
Lace is lavishly used on all sum-
mer costumes and one of the most
useful dress accessories that will go
into weekend suitcases this year. is
the peplum- blouse of lace which may
be slipped over a simple frock, chang
ing it miraculously into quite diff
ferent costume. One of these peplum-
blouses-made of macrime lace-is
pictured. Any woman with a little in
genuity might contrive one of these
charming blouses for herself as the
design is easy to copy the blouse be-

Weekend Negligees.
No woman thinks of setting out for
a country house party without two or
three charming boudotr gowns, with
becoming caps to match, to be worn
at the ''gossip-feasts'' ia the wee sma'
hours after the women have to come
upstairs to visit about in each others
rooms and indulge in intimate chat.
Boudoir gowns and caps are also worn
for breakfast in ones room and later
before the midday luncheon, boU-
doir bridge is often the pastime of
those women who do not indulge in
out-of-door sports. A lovely summer
negligee of embroidered batiste and
lace is pictured. This gown was en-
broidered in China and the material
made up by Hallee in Paris. II is
filmy and fragile and is mounted over
a thin slip of ciel blue messalins.

and also the dainty cap which matches

and becoming sweater which has
proved it's worth as convenient out
ing coat many times over. Very aris-
tocratic new sweaters are made of silk
and one of these silk knitted sweaters
in a rnodish shade of leather-tan is
pictured. 1t will be noted that the
sweater comes well over the hips and
is trinity belted across the back. 1t
accompanies a trotabout skirt of navy
blue mohair, tan buttoned boots and
a panama outing hat wound with q
blue ribbon band.

and is built of black and white
striped whipcord with effective trim
mings in the way of white buttons
and white ratine collar and cuffs. The
oblique closing of the coatfront, with
a double row of pearl buttons set
close together, is individual and dis
tinctiVe. The simple but correct lit
tie suit is accompanied by equally
correct accessories. The blue straw
hat has a white uncurled ostrich
plume and rosette; the gloves are Of
white silk embroidered on the wrist
with blue. The smartlJ furled and
covered sun umbrella is blue and the
buttoned boots are of white bucksl1tn.
White serge suits, and white ratine
suits are equally smart for country,

TUNES, faultlessly tailored, are always
accompanied by proper accessories in
the way of gloves, hat, boots and
parasol.
A lingerie frock with picture hat
and gay paraso1 may be required in
place of the tailored coat and skirt
suit and the weekend trunk will be
provided with two sorts of lingerie
frocks-one for piazza and evening
wear and the other, the sort of frock
that will be correct with a hat, for
out Of door wear. The frock pictured

or pleatings of the taffeta, one end,
of course, falling over the other in the
modish fashion. A fri1I-trimmed sash
of rose and lilac taffeta ribbon is IL
Illustrated; the frills in this instance
being made of narrow Pompadour rib
bon in shades of lilac and pale pink
on a cream ground. A yard and a half
of wide shot taffeta ribbon was used
to make the sash ends and bow, the
loops standing upright and one end of
the sash being only nine inches long
while the other measures twenty-seven
inches. The belt part of the sash is
pIeated and the fril1s are sewed over
the pieats in scallops. Three-fourths
of a yard of taffeta ribbon should
make this belt portion for an average
waist-measure. About six yards of
Pompadour ribbon will be required
for the frills.
The other sash in this photograph is
a very dressy affair intended for use
with dancing frocks of lingerie ma
terial or net. It is made of pink shot
taffeta ribbon and the sash ends are
looped and not tied, one end being
carried up back of the knot and
brought over the other, as described
in another paragraph. The belt por-
tion is laid in pleats and whaleboned
inside This sash is trimmed with tiny
pink silk roses and h fringe OF
knotted pink baby ribbon, a pink bud
being attached to each ribbOn-end.
Not SO girlish as the knotted rib
bon sash, but more distinctive for for
NAL gowns is the sash shown in an
other illustration. This sash accom-
panies a white lace and chiffon taffeta
evening gown and is made of white
taffeta run with infnitesimal pin
tucks The edge of the sash is trim
med with a narrow pleating of the
taffeta and there is only one sash end
about seven inches broad at the bot
tom and tapering to four inches at the
belt. Flat roses of white satin ribbon,
posed against green leaves. trim the
belt and sash end.

mel does not soil as readily or crease
as readily as the humber duck which
may visit the washtub once week.
A thoroughly correct outing frock
of white flannel is illustrated. This
frock has a loose sailor blouse and
rather short skirt and may be used
for tennis, golf, canoeing, or any out
of-door sport that requires active ex-
ercise. The long sleeves may be I'M

Athletic Toys for Morning Wear;
Pretty Froclzs for Afternoon.
One goes to the country primarily
to have good time, and outing garb
usually occupies a generous space in
the weekend trunk of Madame or
MAIDEN oiselle-especially of Madem-
oiselle. This year outing frocks of
white flannel are the correct thing
and white linen duck is cast a lit
tie in the shade. The flannel frock
falls into very graceful lines and has
a spic and span and most attractive
appearance when fresh and clean; but
alas the cleaning is rather expensive
