Carriers Again in Favor.

One of fashions whims at the moment
is the toilet with the skirt slit at one side,
which meets with appreciation from other
women.
If it is justifiable at all, it is certainly so
in the case of the very narrow walking
skirt and the teagown, as much for safe-y
as for beauty in the first instance. AS
for the teagown. ii looks lovely with
filmy lace to fill in the gap, and wreaths
of little roses and other flowers yelled by
the lace.
The ethereal tea gown Of this descrip-
ton is responsible for the return of the
garter of a most gloritied kind, worn
beneath the knee.
The very latest idea in garters is per-
fectly charming. Composed of the or
binary plain and pulled satin, the tops
are ornamented with a dainty ruff1e of
white lace furthermore decorated with a
little spray of tiny handmade satin
flowers and foliage
Made for the tea gown is pair OF
white satin garters, with a ruff1e OF white
lace adorned by a spray of pale pink
rosebuds, green foliage and white heather.
Such was the design seen in a very ia
nous lingerie establishment the other day.
Another pair was composed of mauve
satin decorated with bow of white lace,
a tiny bunch of flowers and black velvet

A Dainty Style.

For daintiness and charm nothing can
beat this style of dress. which may be as
elaborate or as simple as desired. The
introduction of lace or embroidery in a
frock of lawn or cambria makes 1t decor
ative, as was seen in one fascinating little
lingerie frock which had yoke. sleeves
and wide insertion on the skirt made of
embroidery and narrow insertions and
frills of fine valenciennes lace.
Fashionable little girls have their gowns
and coats of taffetas for smart occasions
and party frocks are made high-waisted.
One in pale blue faffetas, with mauve
ribbon floral embroideries at the hem, and
a deep berthe Of fine net and lace at the
neck, was charming.
So much for children's fashions, now
for grown-up modes.

POSITIVE PEOPLE.
By Ruth Cameron.

II you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
II you can trust yourself when all men doubt
But make allowance for their doubling, too;
II you can wait and not be tired by waiting;
Or being lied about, don't deal on lies;
Or being hated, don't give way hating.
And yet don't look too good or talk too wise.
-Kipling.
To be clever is an excellent thing.
To know how to throw a veil of uncon-
seriousness and pretense of being just like
other people over your cleverness is even
better
Likewise, to be accurate and right when
YOU make statement is good thing.
To know better than to be positive
when YOU make one of these accurate
statements is even better.
I wonder IL there is any quality which
wins for its possessor more dislike than
positiveness?
It may be founded on the most praise
worthy accuracy and well informed
ness" but that makes no difference-to
people. positiveness is always irritating.
Haven't you often noticed how delighted
every one is when one of the positive
folks by any chance Is wrong?
If any one elsesmade the same blunder
he would be unostentatiously set right.
But when the positive man makes the
mistake it is heralded abroad and
laughed over and made fun of with
great eclat.
The positive one cannot understand this.
II seems most unjust to him. Pm sure
I'm usually good deal more correct
than these people who are Growing over
me for this one blunder," he thinks. re-
sentfully.
Quite so, my friend. but you forget that
by YOUR Lam always-right' attitude YOU
have been rubbing it into these people so
long that they couldn't help being de-
lighted at a chance to return the COM
pliment.
For any girl-or man, either, for that
matter-who desires popularity l should
recommend postiveness as a red light on
the track to be sedulously avoided.
Be as accurate and welIinformed and
as right as you can, but don't let on
that you are so.
People will like you much better if you
let them have the pleasure of discover
ing these qualities in you. People always
like to discover things, you know.
BE sure you're right, then go ahead"
is excellent advice from a moral stand
point. but for social conduct. BE sure
you're right, then keep 1t to yourself"
is better.
For no matter how we'll you fulfill the
rest OF Kiplings Ifs" if you fail in that
one, II you look too good or talk too
WISE" you nullify the rest and do not
reach the full measure of man.

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Not even in the old days before silks
and satins came into vie with printed
muslins for summer wear were so many
interesting things done with wash ma
terials as there are this season. There
seems to be no limit to the flights Of the
dressmakers' fancy, for cottons, silks
and chiffons are mingled with apparent
recklessness.
In the sketch is shown an alluring
| method of Transforming the dotted
| swisses into fetching frock suitable for
an afternoon or even for an informal
evening at home. The original is in plain
and dotted swiss, the plain material
| making up the plain round skirt, the CIR
die. collar and cuffs. and also the mar
row ruf1ing that furnishes the only trim
| ming, while the dot pattern composes the
| little round blouse and the surplice tunic.
The tunic being gathered into the
| ruff1ing that edges 1t, takes on a pannier
effect that is very graceful. BY employ
| ing pretty colored taffeta in place Of the
| swiss the frock becomes at once more
| formal. quite suitable, in fact, for any
| summer affair.
Another suggestion for swiss consists
| in fashioning a skirt gathered sparsely
| at the top, where it is put into the band,
anu again at the knees. Inc latter line
of shirring is covered with batste bead
ing an inch wide, which is threaded with
black velvet terminating at the side back
with long bows, and ends with a satin
rose thrust through the knot. A cross
over waist of the swiss has belt of the
beading similarly threaded, one of the
velvet ends being allowed to straggle
down to the rose. to which it is looped.
Yelling swiss with black chiffon or
marquisette produces some lovely results
In one such instance the blouse only was
yelled, joining the skirt underneath a
velvet ribbon girdle that finished at the
side front with large satin rose. At
the back there were long tab ends of the
chiffon with deeply fringed ends that
almost covered the swiss, while, instead
of a single rose. like the one at the belt
line. to catch and hold the drapery. there
were two smaller ones. The touches of
color given by the flowers are necessary
to the success of the costume, although
chou or a large fixed-looking bow Of color
ed velvet answers the purpose.
The white swisses which have colored
dots make up very effectively with skirts
of taffeta or satin; or. those of solid

Household Helps.

Before Dreaming butter and sugar,
warm the bowl in the oven or fill it with
hot water, empty and wipe dry. This
expedites the process, and the heat is not
so great as to melt the butter-the danger
that is run If the butter is first warmed

0RATORICAL FLIGHT WON OUT
lrishman's Somewhat Enlgmatical
Speech Secured for Railroad De-
sired Right of Way.

AT dinner given recently in Chi.
cago Eugene II. Garnett told the fol
lowing story:
There was recently introduced In
New York a bill authorizing a railroad
company to extend its right of way
through n certain town. In the legis.
lature was a member who at all times
considered It his duty to fight every
measure of which a corporation was
the first beneficiary. He feared that
the encroachment of the vested inter.
ests upon the public and private do
main would continue until single
great corporation should gather in all
the wealth of the world, and own the
whole population of the globe, body
and soul
These sentiments he announced In
his philippe against the bill, In clos
ing he urged the members 90 take a
determined stand against the rail
roads, invaders of peace, destroyers of
comfort
Satisfied with the applause that
greeted his efforts he sat down. An
Irish member arose and said: The
substance of the honorable gentle
mans remarks is that If We give the
railroad the right Of way It will run
over our PROSTATE forms. Now, sug.
gest that we all step one side and let
the railroad run on the sod. It is
much better to develop the country.

the sly, than it is to wake up some
