REVIVE THE OLD FASHIONS
Desiqners Go Back to Medieval Times for Ideas that Give an lie
 dividuai Note.

Long clinging robes of velvet. cut on straight lines, which were fashion able in earlier centuries, are to be seen again in dresses for the day time as well as evening. Dresses of this type, with entire absence of waist line. appeal strongly to women who like the individual note in dress.
 Some of the straight dresses recall modes which were fashionable in France in the fourteenth century. The yokes, cut out in something like V in front and on the shoulders, are made of bands covered with embroid- cry, and the dresses moulded to the figure in severe style from neck 10 hem have sleeves to the elbows, re- beating the embroidered bands at the neck.
 Such a gown was seen in 8 fashion able New York show room last week. Made of clear yellow velvet, the dress was hemmed with skunk and em- broidered in deep tones of gold with a. dash of turquoise blue introduced in the worsted girdle of deep gold, which gave a distinctive note to the dress. Tn the same show room there was similar gown in Jacobean ta- pestry which had a tablier yelling of clear terra-cotta ninon down the front and hack.
 One of the latest gowns from Paris was suggestive of an old fashion re- vived, and was carried out in g. lovely shade of hyacinth blue satin complete ly yelled with ninon of the same color This overdress was tucked and puffed in the quaintest way, and each ruch- ing was edged with brilliants. Above the knees from pufing of ninon there fell an edging of pearl.

one after another great forms of fr- dustrY or thought which seek to se- cure the widest publicity turn 10 1T as the ideal medium In securing the attention of those they aim to reach. This holds true, says the Philadelphia Record, of those who have wares to sell, such as merchandise, insurance or services, but also of those who ad- dress themselves more especially to the emotional or religious nature Of men and women.
 It is not strange, therefore, 10 find that the churches are appreciating more and more the value of newspa- per advertising, especially in their mission work The United Presbyte- rians, for instance, have been so inn pressed by the results of a campaign Of newspaper advertising that they have decided to continue 1t as a part of their methods of raising money for mission work.
 Other denominations have taken up the subject one lnterdenominationai official group planning to spend $50,- 900 within six months in newspaper advertising. Another group of bush ness men interested In foreign mis- sions decided to devote another s50,- 900 to a years propaganda of this phase of church work At the same time, in connection with the Men and Religion Congress in Washington next April, a Publicity Commission, on which are experts in newspaper adyer- Using as well as publishers and edi- tors, Is making scientific study of the whole subject of the churches and the newspapers.

ROSES AND TH0PNs
 IN ADVERTISING
By VIM. z. FREEMAN.

don't know whether 1 ever before quoted the following poem from Frank sfanton's pen for the purpose of max. ing an advertising application, but whether I have or not 1t is worth printing again:
 This old world we're Twin In
 Is mighty hard to beat
 We get thorn with every rose
 But ain't she roses sweet?''
 We arc living in wonderful busi- ness age. The United States offers greater opportunities for business de- Velopment than any other country. We haven't yet commenced to realize on our possibilities. Tt is mighty hard to beat" us, though. in the develop ment we have made
 We sci q thorn with every rose"-- sure enough. for no success is achieved without many q struggle, many o prieklng of the thorn of disappoint- ment and Encouragement.
 The advertiser, just beginning-the advertiser, old in the business-both say. That advertisement didn't pay; 1t lost me money That's the thorn pricking. It bricks often in advertis- ing; don't forget that.
 The merchandise you offer looks good to you--you think you have se- iected stocks wiseiy--you think you have manufactured something that people will jump at.
 1tTr (,fd rvr.rtd you--you are content with your rner- chandise and yourseif-you think that 1t is mighty hard to beat" you.
 You reach out with beautiful ad- Yertisement That will fetch them, you say. Ton pick the roses you nave mentally picturedl They are there. all right enough. but before you get through picking them. how many times nave things gone wrong-how many thorDs nipped you?
 f ona eiv5a ID because Of the thorna ii business, if he does not keep on going after the roses--how will nc ever realize MT, stantong words, "But ain't the roses gweet?"
 You bet they are.
 The advertisements that seem un- successful are the tnorns. but if you keep on. eyerlastingiy-kee on pick ing and picking, then you can say to yourself, Amt the successful adveTy Gisen@nta good, though?'
 No firm lives that can always put out a pulling ad., but if it puts out enough of them, they will bring more roses than thorns.

Official branding of advertisements, thus guaranteeing their trustworthi- vertisin5 Mems league of New York, at the suggestion of F. F Treft of Chicago. No details as to how the scheme Is to be brought down to a practical basis have been prepared, but the idea of some system whereby the brand Of reliability may be placed officially upon such advertising as is found deserving has met with wide spread approval from advertising men.

Of course the handwork on the towels adds to their beauty and value and these could not be bought for less than s1 each. Those with sealloped ends could have single eyelets or groups of them in each scallop. The initial can be surrounded with the eyelets. Those with hemstitched hems should have the simple initial.

Jack Johnson Stays Fat, But
Derides All His Challengers

II AS VEGAS, N M, June 6.-It's
funny how the desert heat
acts upon the fighters. Jim
Flynn, training for his great
Fourth of July fight with Jack
Johnson, is red as broiled lobster
these days. His face and neck are
studies in flaming scarlet and he
sweats like an honest plowhorse'
and reduces his weight ounce by
ounce
Jack Johnson never has looked
ike a broiled lobster and never
will He doesn't sweat when he
works and so far as is noticeable
he doesn't shed any of his superflu-
Gus avoirdupois. And as, for the
complexion of his countenance, it
looks as much as everNlike the en-
trance of the Hoosac tunnel at
midnight
Flynn today weighs 204 pounds;
Johnson says he is under 230, but
he doesn't look 1t. Jack makes
much of the fact that he is only
going to claim the championship
up to Labor day. Then, he says,
he's going to retire. Adelina Patti
used to say the same thing, but
johnson says he means 1t. And Jim
Flynn, in his heart of hearts, actu-
ally believes that Johnson is going
to permanently retire before that.
To be specific, Flynn is cocksure
that Johnson is going to be frisked
of his crown on July and that
henceforth he will become a come
back" claimant.
Yes; I'm going to retire, but not
because expect to, be thumped,"
said Johnson today. t,~
A Modern Alexander.
I'm like Alexander the Great
I'm too good. There isn't any one
else to lick I'm going to. stick
to my original proposition. After I

week until Labor day and then it
will be curtains for Jack Johnson.

Talks Much; Trains Little.
Jack talked more today than he
trained He refuses to take Flynn
very seriously and is sure he will
win in few rounds. He is keep
ing good hours, however, and takes
considerable road exercise. But he
doesn't like to box any more. He
stalls and talks and skylarks with
his boxing partners. The whole
four are classed as being the worst
specimens of boxers that ever fol-
lowed the campfire of a champion.
Not one of the four ever won even
a preliminary fight in his life. But
Jack doesn't care. He swats them
all impartially and lovingly-black
and white alike.

treatment Flynn isn't enough of

He never learned to hit easy and

they have quit temporarily. All

there was no boxing matinee and
Tommy Ryan is wondering where
he can get a new set of trainers for
Flynn.

WELLS WON,BUT
KNOCKED DOWN
BY Y0UNC5TER

FEW YORK, June 6.-Two
caulifower ears today adorn
Matt Wells, holder of the
lightweight championship of Eng
land Up until last night, when
Wells boxed ten rounds with Young
Brown, an East Side lightweight,
he had only one puffed ear But in
the third round Brown shot a swing
at the Briton which caught Wells
in the ear and led to the twin
adornment
Wells was foored in the first
round, but after that he fought
strongly and won the popular YER
dict.
The fight was fast, with the Eng
lishman getting in three blows to
Browns one. but the young East
Slider fought gamely. Wells was
cautioned for using his head and
hitting on the breakaway.
Wells weighed in at 140 IL
pounds and Brown at 1877.
