The bathing fringe is now a part of
the swimming costume. It is sewed in
side the edge of the bathing cap, and
the natural tresses are pushed back to
remain in fluffy and not stringy condi-
ton when the rubber cap is removed
and the bather dresses to go home.
OF course the bathing fringe is made
of naturally curly hair, so that even
after ducking the little curls tum-
bling over the forehead soon dance
fluffy about when dried by the sun.
The buttoned bathing slipper is more
fashionable than the lace sort this year
of buttoned footwear. and the foot and
instep look much more graceful In the
trinity buttoning strap slipper than in
canvas bathing shoe which fastens

trudge, been the life of the party. He
was at one time the leading dance pro
moter in his section Of Maine.
But of late years he has lost out on
dancing and gets his fun out of life by
going to ball games, reading about ball
games that took place last season,
thinking about ball games that will
take place next season and. recalling
his youthful days when he attended
dances three or four times a week.
Some days before the White House
reception referred to Gardner openly

Waiting ought to be done. He was
there promptly when the Marine band
struck up its limb bestrring notes and
danced for two seconds and q quarter.
Then he stopped. He had discovered
that an insurgent dance movement
called "The Boston" had crowded out
all the old reliable legitimate methods
of getting over ballroom floor.
Since that night Obadiah Gardner has
been changed and saddened man.

CHIC GOWNS FOR
THE LITTLE FOLKS,
The Best Models Combine Sim.
plclty With Smartness.

A growing girl needs so many dresses
and outgrows most Of them so soon
after they are made that. simple de-
signs, fnexpensively made, are a01ong
the most favored.
One piece dresses that slip over to-
head are popular.
The body and skirt are cut in one
piece, while the sleeves, which are of
one seam design, may be Of elbow
length, finished with turnback cuffs, or
full length and gathered into band at
the wrist. The frock slips comfortably
over the head, and removable shield
may be worn or left off, as liked.
A serviceable play frock is of brown
with white or cream for the prettily
shaped collar and cuffs. The belt is
also of white, although one of patent
leather may be substituted, and the
eyelets on either side Of the front open
ing are drawn together by lacing of
white cord A white frock with hand
scalloped edges, trimming the white
linen collar and cuffs, is also a pretty
Auouei. II pidth pdtttit Aeathti beit anu
a small fat bow are pretty details that
offer becoming contrasts.
Here are few general rules to fol-
low In planning clothes for growing
girls: The long wasted, low belted
type of frock is one that will prove gen.
orally becoming to thin and plump
girls alike, and every slender child
looks well in a one piece frock loosely
belted and only slightly fitting. Short
WASTED and empire frocks belong only
to the picturesque child and should be
avoided by the extremely thin as well
as the overstout one. It is easily un-
derstood why child's thin arms ap-
pear so much longer when the hands
reach far below the waist line. Lower
the belt. broaden the shoulder, and you
viii be delighted with the proportion
ing process.

THE ELECTION LAW.

We have had glimpse at the
election law, amended by the last
Legislature, under which the Dem
ocratic primary is to be held
throughout the State on Tuesday,
September 3.
From the glimpse, the view is I'M
favorable. 1t is surprising that life
long Democrats who stand for fair
ness and honesty in elections should
have permitted such changes in the
law.
In all elections for United States
senators, congressman, governor and
State officials, the expenses for the
necessary stationery, including the
candidates on the local tickets, must
be betrayed by the State, but in
municipal elections such expenses
must be met by the candidates. Tn
der the present law candidates for
judge, district attorney and other
officers will be relieved of paying
their quota of expenses as was pro
vided in the old law. Resides, ac-
cording TO the old law, a candidate
having no opposition was declared
to be the nominee by the authority
Of the party and he was not voted
for at the primary election.
According to the law only the can
didates having opposition were
placed on the ticket for nomination
by majority voting at the primary
election, but now his name must be
placed on the ticket and voted as if
he had opposition.
Under the new system candidates
are expected to multiply as mush-
rooms over night, as they will have
not cent to pay for expenses.
The parish or the municipal au-
thOrities, as the case may be, will be
required to pay for the anounce-
ment Of the election, together with
the polling places, the commission
ers and the clerks of the election.
In sense, no special objection
could be offered, but the one feat
ure of the law, amended, is the sam
| pie ticket, which may be given on
the day Of election to any voter APP
plying. On its face This duplicate
ballot is Of no consequence, but it is
guide to how to vote.
For instance, an illiterate or one
dominated by any one Of the Bosses
of New Orleans or one of their al
lies or tools, with sample ticket
can have the sample ticket marked
as NAV be desired and with this
sample ticket marked the voter on
entering the voting poll is given a
regular ticket, which he can fill out
and vote, after being marked, as in
dictated on the sample ticket already
in his possession.
This is the new system of the So
called secret ballot.
According to the old law, it was
rather difficult for an illiterate or
fraud Of voter to vote, but now
all risk has been eliminated. His
sample ballot will be al! sufficient,
and if under this system the Bosses
Of New Orleans do not clean up the
Goo Coos" horse, foot and dra-
goon," they should retire forever
from politics.
The sample ticket. seriously is a
travesty, and one of the rankest of
absurdities ever devised in politics
in Louisiana, and only one trial On
September 3 will be sufficient to
secure its recall if it is then pos
sible.
