MoNoToNY is WHAT REPELsI
impossible for All Women to Draw
Up Absolute Regulations as to
Their Clothing Question.

There are a few women who are
strongminded enough to remain true
to a certain kind of dressing in sum
mer as in winter; they have plenty
of duck and linen skirts made On the
same pattern, short, slim, fastened
down the front with large pearl but
tons, extending above the waist line
and hung from an inside belt.
Their blouses are of the heavier
wash materials for the morning and
the sheer French null type for the
afternoon. They wear collapsible
hats without trimming, either in black
or white, and thereby save themselves
time, confusion and anxiety concern
ing the various styles of clothes and
becoming color schemes.
y But these women are in the minor
ity; even If one envies them one does
not always copy them, for some rea.
son which it is hard to define. Pos
sibly we get tired of the uniformity.
or 1t is not becoming to us, and we
are tempted by the many new ideas
Ia clothes and the various ways of
fixing up ourselves with the frills and
accessories that sweep the country
like a tidal wave.

Further, believe that we shall see a
return to soft transparent fabrics, as
well as those of regal magnihcence.
Accordion plating win be feature in
evening gowns; this have prophesied

to the fact that 1t is difficult wear for
outdoor gowns, it will be chiefly rele-
gated to the service of evening gowns.
A lovely model which carries out the
still popular combination Of black-and-
gold is here described.
The underskirt and top of the cor
sage are composed of the very softest
black marquisette, through which a
fine gold thread is run. The over
dress is of black charmeuse, with
panels of gold and coral embroidery;
the charmeuse drapery gives a slight
ly pannier effect. Over the shoulder
the embroidery and marquisette are
connected with soft layers of palest
pink tulle, to mitigate the severity Of

This is lined with shot gold tissue. A
band of black velvet is wound round

ARMA.s MAYOR ARRESTED.
He Interfered With Building of OBJ

Arma, kan. July 2e.-Executive
veto as enforced by Mayor John Nor
gan of Arma may result in sending
this towns mayor to the state peni-
Tertiary, if he is convicted on a charge
of felonious and malicious destruction
of property, filed against him by the
county attorney. Several weeks ago
the city council passed an ordinance
providing for concrete sideWa ks
around the city park. Mayor Morgan
vetoed the bill.
The city council at its next session
passed the ordinance over the execu-
tive's veto and the work was or
dered. Two days ago Morgan, passing
the city park and seeing the work
under way, stopped to inspect it. He
became angered, and picking up a
shovel, scooped out a square of green
concrete and trampled on the remain
der of the offending walk. Citizens
then asked the county prosecutor to
file charges against their strenuous
mayor. Conviction on the charge is
punishable with a penitentiary SEN
tence.

HARvEsTERs ARE ROBBED.
Short and Tail Men Hold Up Worz.ers,
Making Good Haul

Ellsworth, Kan, July 26.-The pro-
verbal tall and short man harvested
q large wad of money and a number
of watches off of a number of har-
vest hands here and succeeded in
1neking good their escape
The first attempt at robbery was
made near the Kipp elevator when
two harvest hands were held up by
the pair, relieved of $32 and gold
watch and then compelled to march
at the point of guns to the Frisco
crossing where the robbers made them
climb on the blind baggage of the
Union Pacific and then trained their
revolvers on them until the train was
we'll under way.
Leaving the crossing, the robbers
crossed over the track and marched
over to the cIump of trees where an
other party of harvesters were sleep
ing There were seven in the party
and all complied with the request
to stand up and hold up their hands
when they were awakened, except
one. The robbers struck him over
the head with their revolvers and
rifed his pockets. The others were
also relieved of their earnings and
their watches. The money taken
ranged from SIS to $22 and two or
three watches were secured.
Keeping their guns trained on the
party the robbers backed away
from. the -harvesters and disappeared.

In order to save as much of the crop

insects, many alfalfa farmers are now
harvesting the third cutting, which on
account of the dry weather and be-
cause it has not had time to fully ma
ture, is making but light yield.
