STRIPES AND BORDERS.


Evidently the beautiful new wash
goods for 1912 are to lean to stripes and
borders especially, though dots retain
all their Did favor.
The striped cotton voiles at $1.25 are
particularly lovely. There are plain
stripes and there are variations. One
fascinating example shows a three-inch
stripe composed of half-inch black and
white blocks. 1t a%lternates with a
three-quarter-inch colored stripe, such
as blue, green, red or violet. And nat
urally there are simple stripes.
Strlkingly handsome, too, is a Dor
dered white marquisette at 81 a yard.
Along one edge there are three wide
satin stripes of a peculiarly soft quail
ity. These stripes are in an assortment
of c%olors, and the color is shown to
delightful advantage. The red is par
ticularly lovely, the soft, dull, pinkish
shade familiar to us In Roman scarves.
Both these fabrics are double width.

much cleaner than If you attended TO
them alone. Do not attempt to wipe
them until they are perfectly clean,
and do not leave off wiping them until
they are thoroughly dry. Keep a pot
of fine oatmeal handy, and run a little
of this over the hands after wiping
them, and afterwards slip on an old
pair of walking gloves with the tips
of the fingers cut off, and wear them
for a little while. This is especially
necessary after washing up a lot of

Both blushing and nervousness gen

and a lack of self-conidence. Try to
forget yourself in your interest In those
about you. Don't think that everyone
is looking at you or thinking about
you. Above all things, be natural. A
little self-esteem will not do you any
harm. If you will realize that you are
the equal of most of your companions
and acquaintance you will not feel

BODY FOUND.
Remains of Miss Snodgrass Identified
After Being Taken
From Mud.

Catskill, N. Y, July 29.-The name
"Snodgrass" on the band of an under
garment today furnished the conclus-
i've line in Identification of the body
found in the mud of Catskill Creek
as that of Miss Dorcas 1jams Snod-
grass, the society girl and former
nurse of Mount Vernon, n. Y, who
disappeared one week ago last Thurs
day.
Mrs. James r. Cridcr of Mount Ver-
non, sister of the missing girl, said
that the description of the Catskili
Creek victim fit that Of Miss Snod-
grass and that if the name could be
found in underclothing the identificat-
ion would be complete. The word
"Snodgrass" was plainly legible and
blurred marks made it appear that
"Dorcas" and 81" were washed out by
the water, in which physicians said the
body had been for at least four days.
The body Of the young woman was
found face-downward in the mud Of
Catskill Creek, only partially sub
merged and it was at once ascertain
ed there was no water in the lungs,
making it apparent that death was not
caused by drowning. The fact too,
that leather handbag still on the arm
of the body led the coroner to admit
that her body might have been placed
in the creek after her death, but no
trace of violence appeared on the body
to indicate murder.

COURT HOUSE TO STAY
Judge Thornton Refuses Writ Of
Election on Removal of AleNan-
dria Courthouse to Rosslyn.

On Thursday an order was enter
! ed in the Circuit Court for Alexan-
dria county, by Judge J. T. Thornton
refusing to issue a writ of election
on the question of moving the Court
House from its present location to
Rosslyn. Judge Thornton set forth in
the order, three reasons for refusing
to issue the writ. First, that the pc
titioners haye failed to satisfy the
Judge that the names appearing on
said petition represent one third of
the qualified voters of the said county
of Alextndria. Second, that the saIu
petitioners have failed to show that
one-half of said third are freeholders
and third, that the said petitioners
have failed to show that the names
attached to the said petition were
signed by the persons whose names
appear there on, or placed thereon
by their request, or with their per-
mission, and that the said petition
ers have failed to offer any evidence
whether tending to prove any one
of the three requisites as aforesaid
except q printed list Of names un-
signed and uncertifed by any one,
purporting to be list of persons of
Alexandria County who have paid
not later than six months
prior to the election to be ncld on
November ), 1912, the state capita
tion tax as required by the constitu-
ton of the State of Virginia.
This is presumably the end of the
discussion in regard to the removal
Of the court house, that has been
carried on for several months The
would-be removers Of the court house
several months ago, undertook to Sc
cure a petition Of the people of Alex
andria County for the purpose Of Sc
curing q writ or election, to decide
whether the court house should re-
main on its present site, or be re-
moved to the Town of Rosslyn. Those
who urged the removal argued that
the present site is inaccessible and
that the court house now being used,
is unsafe for the public and could

POST OFFICE WINS.
Two Hits and Three Errors Lose Game
for Alexandria Team
Saturday.

Two hits and three errors in the
first inning of Saturdays game gave
Post Office three runs. A like num-
Der of hits and four errors in the
ninth gave the visitors four more
runs and the game In between these
ascensions tht local team played bril-
liantly and had overcome the lead of
the first inning. Burgendine was very
effective throughout, but his own mis-
play lost him the game.
With three on and one down in the
first, a hit to Astryke forced a man at
home. The next man hit to Burgen-
dine and he threw to the fence. As
tryke made a poor return of the ball
and three men scored. For the next
seven innings the visitors failed to
score though the bases were again
filled with one out, in the third. Mil
ler's tumble opened the ninth. Two
hits followed. Wells and Downcy
dropped fly balls and Miller threw to
the stands on his next chance. Four
runs resulted.
Alexandria scored in the third.
Wells was hit and Downey walked
Lynch singled to left and Wells scored
on Kraft's muff of the throw in.
Shalin doubled over the fence and tied
the score. A force play, a steal by
Lynch, and Shalin's hit scored another
in the fifth Astryke was hit in the
eighth. Patterson singled to right and
Astryke scored on Burgendine's drive
to left.
The fielding of McMorris in right
for ?. o., and the hitting of Shalin for
Alexandria were features. Burgendine
and Ferguson just about broke even as
far as effective work was concerned.

BEMEGCA TONIGHT
Thousands Of Alexandrians
Will Attend Opening of
Elks Festival.
FINE TRAIN SERVICE

Minutes-Plenty of Amusements
for Young and Old.

Luna Park, the great amusement

mecca tonight of thousands of Alex
andrians and Washingtonians who
will attend the opening Of the big fes-
tival which is to be operated for a

ed by Prof. Bovello, having been en-
gagged.
Many novelties will be Inaugural
ted by the committee having the dam
cling in charge, the latest shadow and
spot light dancing being on the pro-
gram.

they can sit and enjoy the music of
the band. The Greater Washington
band will give an open air concert to-
night between the hours of eight and
ten O'Clock.

METEOROLOGICAL FORECAST.

The cool weather which prevailed
during most of last week was followed
yesterday by more seasonable condi-
tions. While the atmosphere was not
as oppressive as that of the previous
Sunday, it was uncomfortably warm
before the close of the day. Rain fol-
lowed at an early hour this morning.
Pressure distribution over the
northern hemisphere indicates that
this week will not be one of decided
temperature changes over the United
States. "Walm weather." says the
weekly bulletin from the Weather Bu-
reau, "will continue in the South and
the Southwest, and moderate fall in
temperature Monday over the Upper
Lake region, the Upper Mississippi
and the Missouri Valleys will be fol-
lowed by another rise Tuesday and
Wednesday, and but little changes
thereafter. 1t will be warmer Mon
day over the northeastern districts,
but no unusually warm weather is eX-
pected during the week. 1t will be
cool in the extreme northwest by the
end of the week.
