FOR THE SUMMER BED
STYLES OF CoUNTERPANES THAT
ALWAYS LOOK WELL.
Probably the Best, Though Also the
Most Expensive, Is That of Fine
Irish Linen BIeached to
Purest White.

II money is not an object, have for
the summer bed counterpart OF mod
erately heavy but very fine Irish linen
bleached to purest white, finished all
round with a four inch broad hem
stitching To go with this coVerlld
there pay be two square shams or
single long strip which will cover both
pillows, but the bed looks equally well
If the counterpane is spread from head
to foot without break. Where ex-
pense must be considered, there may
be, in lieu of the imported linen COW
erlid, one of the same character, but
in fine, heavy lawn, hand hemstitched
all around, but without the hand en-
broidery. This coverlid when spread
about a linen sheet looks very we'll
indeed, and in it's favor 1t may De
said that 1t is more easily laundered
than Is the more costly one.
White scrim, swiss or fine cheese
cloth make dainty looking spreads for
the bed which needs valance to hide
the hat and shirt waist boxes for which
there is no space elsewhere IN the
sleeping room. Any of the coarse
meshed imitation laces look well on
scrim, Swiss or cheesecloth coverlids,
and so do the fowered lawns which
come In attractive summery patterns.
Still dear to the heart of old fash
ioned housekeepers is the Marse1lles
spread showing a mingltng OF blue.
rose, maize or green with white and
having a heavy and thickly knotted
white fringe which is practically a
valance. These spreads are chosen
to match the carpet, paper and cur
tains, but for a white room there Is
nothing SO dainty as the Marseilles
patterned satin damask covered with
scalloped embroidered edges which all
but touch the floor at each side OF the
bed.
Between the linen sheets Of the bed
place a pair of summer blankets OF
pure wool in all white or in white with
fine border in delicate color, and
be sure that the bindings are of
silk. It pays to remove the ordinary
bindings which sometimes finish a
really nice pair of blankets and re-
place them with a white or colored
thin silk.
At the foot Of the bed have a COM
Portable of silko1ine. One Of white
is charming and it keeps clean about
as long as one of delicate hue in the
plain or f1owered material. The aver
age guest knows enough to place the
comforter carefully over a chair when
preparing for bed, or If additional
warmth is needed, to double the upper
sheet far over it's top edge.

fully, it was found that in the new
feathers the brilliant red is confined
to narrow band, which is overlapped
by the edge of the adjacent feathers.
The overlapping portions are white
and brittle. During the winter these
delicate portions are rubbed off and
lost, SO that when the mating season
arrives the bird has It's brilliant coat.
Mr.. GrinneIl emphasizes especially the
fact that this brilliant coloring is &C.

glance shifted to the Judge. He had
heard something of those activities by
means of which SIocum Price had
striven to distinguish himself, and he
had certain curiosity respecting the
man. 1t was Immediately satisfied
The judge had reached a degree OF
shabbiness seldom equaled, and but
for his mellow, effulgent personality
might well have passed for common
vagabond; and If his dress advertised
the state of his finances, his face ex
planned his habits. No misconception
was possible about either.
May / offer you a glass of liquor?"
asked Fentress, breaking the silence
He stepped to the walnut center-table
where there was a decanter and
glasses. By gesture the Judge de-
clined the invitation Whereat the
colonel looked surprised, but not SO
surprised as Mahaffy. There was an.
other silence.
Il don't think we ever met before? ?''
observed Fentress. There was some
thing in the fixed stare his visitor was
bending upon him that he found dis
quieting, just why, he could not have
told.

things of life, using them with a ra-

fee, while the well-flled cases ranged
about the walls showed his tastes to
be in the main scholarly and intel
lectual.
How long have you lived here?''
asked the judge abruptly. Fentress
seemed to hesitate: but the judges
glance. compelling and insistent, de-
manded an answer.
Ten years"
You have known many men OF all
classes as lawyer and a planter?'
said the judge. Fentress inclined his
head. The judge took step nearer
him. People have a great trick of

For the Small Rnu

One of the prettiest novelties this
season is the suit of brown linen for
small boys. These are embroidered
with silk to match. Saiieloth is a
practical material; it launders well,
holding its color. For warm weather
these are made with knickarbockers
and tunic tops caught about the waist
with a belt. Dark blue sailcloth linen
with collars and cuffs Of white is an
other pretty combination.

LAS VEGAS, N. M, June 29.-Jack
Johnson finds himself handicapped in
his final training for the fight by lack
of sparring partners. George Debray
has a wrenched knee, Marty Cutler
oanno stand the wear and tear of
ten rounds daily which Johnson says
he needs to get into proper shape,
and Rastus Raspess is too badly bat
tered to give the champion enough
ring work. In lieu of sparring John
son is doing long stretches. of road
work, and declares he does not mind
letting up in boxing for a few days
before the fight.
With the big event only six days
away, Johnson is being groomed to
enter the ring at 212 pounds, and
Flynn is around the 1874 mark.
Yesterday was a day of compare
tive idleness in the Flynn camp, the
Puebloan contenting himself with a
twelve-mile road run in the after
hoo Yesterday Flynn resumed his
routine of gymnasium and road work.
The Johnson camp promises to be
the Mecca of fight fans today, John
son having announced that he would
give 5000 to any aspiring heavyweight
who would survive a two-round bout
with him.
Advance reservations indicate that
the arena, which seats 1880, will be
filled to capacity July 4.
