Another plan is to make a large en-

Fashions Fancies
~S@x@S

Bordered chiffon and m~arquisette
are used for many lovely dance
frocks.
The present tendency is for big
hats to grow bigger and smaller hats
smaller.
Amber has for the time being given
place to the modern vogue for cut jet
heads.
Long coats of white corduroy are
worn for short motor trips, boating
and outdoor sports.
Second to the alteration of black
and white this summer is the passion
for violet-a shade quite different
from the royal purple that reigned
through the winter.
The well known polo coat" of last
year is no longer considefed smart.
Long coats of ratine or eponge in
white and black, with satin foulard lin
ings, are worn instead.
1t Is a noticeable fact that all the
newest neck bows are extremely large
or extremely small. The tailored
bow seems to be the favorite, but
some lovely fluffy bows are also seen.
The combination of black tulle over
white lace for neck frills and for whole
waists is gaining favor. Black lace is
nearly always mounted over white net
or chiffon to bring out the design of
the lace.

Barber Shops In China,

Since the Chinese revolution a great

a large number of barber shops

chairs, and they are now unable to

the old palace, which was the adorn-

In the beginning Of the eighteenth
century the Palais Royal was a sort
Of open-air club where people dis

the Versailles and the opera; the side

When the Duke d'Orleans of that

Louis Philippe fell for having trusted

The Palais Royal is remembered as
the place where Richelieu died, where

The Hanuinu Pjncushion.

Do not dream of crossing the ocean

a hanging pincushion, as it is the oply
sort which you can be sure OF in

dressing. Make the cushion square of
shape, reasonably fiat and not too
large to easily pack into the dressing
bag, and to n corner attach a stout
silk cordage hanging of considerable
length. This you will secure to a
hoo in your stateroom by twisting it
round and round, and when prepar-
ing to debark will merely clip off with
scissors, knotting the ends together
again before attaching it to some
other hook. A yard long hanger usu-
ally answers for a summers tour, so

sLEUTH ROBBED BY SHERIFF
California Peace Officer Takes Starch
Out of Detective by Going

Sn Francisco.-There is a detective

as a guest of Sheriff Barnett of Ala

what boastful Of his shrewdness.
Thereupon Barnett distracted from
the Chicago mans pockets a watch

Later in the evening Barnett turned
over the articles to the detectives
companion, who was n of the party,
and explained the matter to him.
Now Barnett displays with much
glee the following letter from Chi

EASY TO DEAL WITH Y0KES
Are Sure to Shrink, but the Remedy
May Be Quickly Found and
as Quickly Applied.

Few Of us have escaped the horror of
finding, after our summer frocks or
guimpes have been returned fr&n the
laundry for the first time, that the
yoke has shrunk and the collar is
entirely too tight for comfort. 1t is
the experience of almost every WON
an before the season Of thin, cool
frocks is over, and one that few
know how to remedy.
Should the yoke of your frock re-
quire to be enlarged, add the width
at the center of the back and the
shape of the yoke will not be spoiled.
This can be done either by letting
out the hem in the back and facing
the raw edges or by inserting a mar
row lace insertion on the inside Of
the hem each side Of the opening.
The fact that almost every lace
or embroidery yoke opens in the back
make this a simple task, and as a
yoke rarely requires more than an
inch Of additional width, simplifies
the matter greatly.
Don't despair if you are confront
ed with a too tight yoke; make it
comfortably large in this amer.

COVER THE SUIT CASE
NEAT AND SERVICEABLE MATE
RIAL EASILY PROCURED.
Looks Well and Furnishes Protection
for the Light Straw That Con-
s~titutes the Best Kind of
Summer "Grip."

The light, attractive straw suit case
has one drawback; it soils quickly and
is not easily cleaned. 1t is therefore
a good plan, on buying a new one, to
procure suitable material and make a
cover that can be slipped over the
case when it is in use, and easily re-
moved for washing.
Heavy brown linen, denim, crash or
burlap serve the purpose very well.
The cover should be cut in three
pieces, n piece for each side, and a
strip to go round lengthwise, from one
end of the handle to the other. The
edges are bound with braid, tape or
other material of a suitable shade.

of three houses catching fire at Law
renceburg, Ind, recently, and had it
not been for the prompt work of the
neighbors and friends all would have
been destroyed. The sparrow was
building a nest under the caves of the
home of Mrs. Mary Weber, and it
picked up a long cotton string from a
pile of rubbish that had just been
burned. With the burning string in
its beak, the sparrow flew to the roof
Of Mrs. Sophia Skaters house, then
to Otto McCright's house and then to
the roof Of Emanuel Wuest's home,
where 1t dropped the burning string.
A fire started in the shingles of each
