TIL dance given by The Record in

SEEK ONLY REAL BARGAINS
Indiscriminate Buying Because Things
Are Cheap Is Simply z
silly Error.

The enticements of the stores Ia
late summer need self-control and
common sense if bargains are to prove
profitable.
There are certain things safe to
buy, others that are waste of money.
Ultra styles are to be avoided, unless
so perishable that the remaining
weeks of the season will wear them
out. Buying them for next year Is
folly. This is especially true of
hats
Chiffon. marquisette and crepe de
chine frocks that are simple in style
are safe purchase, as they are in
valuable for house and theater
gowns.
If one wears the same make and
kind of shoe each season, this is a
good time to buy several pairs of
pumps, tennis shoes and low walking
shoes. They are much reduced and
ones shoe bill can be cut in half by
buying in off seasons.
Summer dress materials are also
good bargain. There are certain stand
ard materials and designs that are
never out of style. Irish lace in mar
row widths, Valenciennes by the
piece and blind embroidery are al
ways in order and can be picked up
now cheaply.
This is the harvest time of the eco
nonical housekeeper. Table and bed
linen, kitchen utensils, china, glass,
r1,ps and carnets are reducedl in mid
summer. To buy now means saving
nearly half the value.
One woman who has furniture that
seems far handsomer than her in
CONS warrants, buys it a piece at a
time, so she can get something really
good, and does that buying in the off
season If you have a new house to
furnish, now is the time.-Kansas City

sLEUTH ROBBED BY SHERIFF
California Peace Officer Takes Starch
Out Of Detective by Going
Through His Pockets.

Sn Francisco-There Is a detective
in Chicago who was invited to dinner
as a guest Of Sheriff Barnett of Ala
media county, across the bay from this
city, and under the mellowing innu-
ence of the occasion became some
what boastful of his shrewdness.
Thereupon Barnett distracted from
the Chicago mans pockets watch
and all the money there was in them.
Later in the evening Barnett turned
over the articles to the detectives
companion, who was one Of the party,
and explained the matter to him.
Now Barnett displays with much
glee the following letter from Chi
cago:
81, the greatest detective Of Chi
cago, am disgraced and humiliated.
The thought that have sleuthed
through the most dangerous places in
Chicago and New York and other
wicked cities of the east, should travel
across the continent to have my peck
cts picked by the sheriff of Alameda
county, Is so disturbing that am be-
ing treated for insomnia by my physi'
:iane."

BORDERS ALWAYS IN FAVOR
At This Time Much Originality Has
Been Expended In Designs Put
Forth for Popularity.

There is fascination in the summer
bordered materials of nino, cashmere
and marquisette, and every class OF
voile or delaine is being made up with
a border of much originality and
greater prettiness. All these bordered
stuffs are made with an eye to the de-
sign of the gown and its style and
purpose, and the result is seen in
many smart and apparently exclusive
costumes.
The skirt may be made in two tiers
of spotted material, each tier having
a wide band of some beautiful pattern,
while the same pattern appears to
form corselet, the upper part and
sleeves being simply of the spotted
stuff. A taffeta belt gives a finishing
touch The patterned border may ap-
pear around the hem of the skirt and
following the outline of the deep pam
nier, while the sleeves also are of the
Powered band, the corsage being hid
den by fichu of lace.

TRAINING TREE FOR
ANY SHAPE DESIRED
Care Should Be Exercised to Keep
Top Open to Admit Rays
Of Sun.

It is much better to train tree the
shape it is wanted than allow it to
grow wild, then chop and saw it into
the desired shape, says the Mirror
and Farmer.
If sprouts starting from the body
of the tree or along the main branches
are pinched when they are three or
four inches long they will ordinarily
form fruit spurs. Aim to get more
fruit buds near the body of the tree
and along the larger limbs instead of
the branches.
AS color is an important factor,
care should be exercised to keep the
top open so that the rays of the sun
can reach to every part at some por-
ton of the day. To accomplish this
it may be well to- do some pruning
when the tree is in full leaf; cutting
10 or even Is per cent of the top
away when the tree is in full leaf
will cause no serious injury.
If the trees are carefully looked
over abo'lt three times during the
growing SEASON, and the ends of
those spots that are growing too long
are pinched of, the tree may be kept
to the desired shape. But where a
shoot has been overlooked it is bet
ter to cut it out when found than
wait until winter. Negligence during
the growing season is about the only
logical reason for severe winter prun-
ing.
Severe pruning while the tree is in
dormant state stimulates more
rapid and abundant wood growth,
about four-fifths of which will grow
where it Is not wanted, necessitating
yet more cutting the following sea-
son. Pinching the summer pruning
stimulates the production of fruit
buds. and tends toward better ma
turity of both buds and fruit. Plan
TO grow an abundance of fruit spurs
we'll distributed over the whole tree.

LESSON OF LABOR DAY
An Annual Holiday That Is More
Than Just a Play Time

The first Monday in September
brings an annual reminder of the fact
that one of the holidays which are
now practically nationwide is so new
and so vital that it is growing visibly
and rapidly in prestige and usefulness.
Labor day was an experiment so re-
Gently that men still young remember
its beginnings; now it is one OF the
firmly established and much-valued
rest and recreation days Of the year.
But the day is more than that. 1t
is a holiday which is not mere play
day. Nor is it only celebration OF
some great event of the past. 1t looks
ahead quite as much as it looks back
ward. It is filled with the spirit of
advancing, confident, buoyant life. 1t
is even a militant day, with strong
suggestion of willingness and ability
to battle for rights denied or prin.
ciples assailed
1t is well for the country that La.
Dor day is so thoroughly alive. 1t is
good thing for American people that
such holiday comes around every
fall to remind all classes and condi-
lions of men and women of the vital
and fundamental part which the labor
of the hands plays and must always
play in the progress of the world and
the very ex!ctence of mankind. 1t is
too easy to fo:get, at times, that ev-
erything rests on hard physical toll
and that without it all of the boasted
Towering of civilization would be inn
possible.
Labor day is broad enough, in it's
name and in the break which it makes
in the regular grind of trade and in
dustry and in all of the productive
activities of the country to cover all
kinds cs work, but it is the especial
property of manual labor and more
particularly Of manual labor so organ
lied. SO awake and so strong that it
can speak as a vast body of men
trained to act together and work for
the same ends.
That is to say, the annual holiday
of labor is taken as right, not as a
gift. 1t is a demonstration of strength
ready for use, not day or recreation
and fun without a serious thought.
But the stronger labor becomes the
less danger there Is OF needless and
destructive labor wars. With power
comes responsibility and the more
there is that has been won the more
there is, also, to hazard in strife. The
labor organizations which are most
thoroughly developed and united are
the ones which get along best with
employers and are most reasonable
and businesslike In the negotiations
which they carry on, The strong and
successful do not lightly risk the
fruits of their past triumphs. and the
same qualities that made them sue
coed keep them safe and sound.
Labor day is filled with such les
sons. 1t is stimulating, thought-com
polling and instructive as a holiday,
and there are few days in the year
which do more to make Americans
give attention to the large problems
of their country aud the times.

The Coat Tea Gown.

Every woman who makes her OWL
negligees will welcome the coat tea
gown which is SO modest. that the
wearer could venture almost any
where in it. The lower portion con-
sists of an Empire robe without
sleeves, finished about the raised
waistline under a self-cording and
about the neck in tucker fashion,
above a guimpe Of some sheer mate
rial. The upper portion, which reaches
to the knees, greatly resembles a
mans topcoat in shape and has the
same wide, long sleeves set plainly
into large arm-eyes. But the fronts
roll back for their entire length and
there Is no collar, merely a cord fin
ish of the gown material for the
edges. Made in white, rose, blue,
mauve or yellow Chinese silk, the tea
gown is charmingly soft in effect and
its style, which becomes both the thin
and the stout woman. -

New Material.

A new material that Is being used
for suits and gowns and even for
handsome coats is of cotton texture,
but has such a beautiful chamois fin
ish that it places the fabric among
those of more aristocratic fiber. The
cloth comes in blue, lavender. tan,

it will wash instead of requiring a

Bordered Fabrics.

The bordered materials are a fea-
ture Of the summers fabrics, and will
be useful in designing trimmings for
simply-made toilettes.
The many beautiful muslins have
borders. One white muslin has a IL
inch pink border, on which are alter
mated lines of large and small dots
embroidered in pink and white. 9th
er muslins are to be seen in palest
pink and white. and dainty white en-
broidered flowers scattered over the
entire surface.
Some Of the marquisettes and voiles
are lovely with their colored borders,
and Revelty is composed entirely Of
tiny dsawn work squares.
