Despite the constant talk about the eA-

season a number of economies brought
out by the changing styles which the
pessimist never recognizes. The women

generation ago. and this saving in fabric

the one most quoted, there are many do

fact that until recently there has been
great difficulty in securing a dye which
could be guaranteed for linen has made
the colored linen frock an expensive lux
ury, since frequently it would have to be
sent to the dyer instead of to the laun-

season to secure fadeless linen as well as
cotton goods. and there now are linens

INDEPENDENCE LEAGUE.
YESTERDAYS RESULT.
Pepco, +: Aloysius. 1.
TODAY'S GAME.
National vs.. Southland.

The league leaders had little diffiult,
/ in winning their eleventh consecutive
game yesterday. when they met the
Aloysius team and handed it the shor,
end of 81 score.
Jack Leonard worked on the mound
for 4Aloysius and did we'll until the fifth
inning. Previous to that Pepco made
but two hits, and put a run across. Se
solely to the clubmen's errors, but in the
fifth PepcO punched three hits for two
runs and garnered four more hits for
three runs in the next three innings.
Aloysius' only score was due to Kid
wells wildness in the seventh inning.
With two down, Handiboe and Mccarthy
singled successfully, and Hines and
Brady walked, forcing in Handiboe with
the single score.
Murphy and Munich of Pepco had no
trouble in solving LeOnards delivery
yesterday. Each man made two singles
and q double out of four trips to the
plate.
One Of the most consistent players
on the AloysiAs team is O'Reilly. who
worked at third yesterday. He is a
fast fielder. has good whip, and al
ways puts up a peppery game: while
not credited with any hits yesterday.
he stands we'll among the top men in
batting.
The performance of Kidwel is
worthy OF mention. This boy has not
been worked much this season by Man
ager Gray. but his pitching yesterday
shows him to be quite a capable man.
Only four hits were made off him; he
passed three men. and struck out
thirteen in the nine innings of play.
