and this summer it will be worn both
with the odd skirt and the skirt to
match, making an entire costume.
Materials include all the familiar
standbys and also certain novelties.
Eponge will be extensively used both
for separate skirts and for gowns, and
eponge is to be found both in brocaded
and plain and in an infinite variety
Of oolors. A vast number of separate
waists Of tub silk will be worn too
throughout the summer, and crepe de
chine is extensively used both for
simple and elaborate blouses-
Linen is always necessity for skirts
and for gowns, and even while newer
things make an effort to supplant it,
it holds its recognized place. Powered
fabrics never were lovelier and flow
cred effects are to be found in every
thing from simple handkerchief linen
to silk. Wolfe is greatly used andis
always beautiful and foulard may
safely be counted among the neces-
sites Of the summer wardrobe.
For separate skirts both white and
COLOR are being used, and white eponge
is both fashionable and practical. It
washes easily, does not require ironing
and can readily be pulled into shape.
The same material is to be found in
stripes and in checks and is always
handsome. always durable.
Some of the lowered voiles are mar
velously beautiful, showing as lovely
color and effect as the costIiest silks.
The skirts that show slight drapery
are among the newest, but for the
gown to be worn on the tramp in the
mountains. the game of tennis, the
walk to the beach, nothing is better
than the simple, plain skirt made in
panel effect with overlapped edges.
Sleeves are of unusual interest, for
the hmono has returned to great favor
and is shown in many of the newest
and smartest models. Since it is
always pretty and graceful, it must find
a welcome, but in sleeves, as in other
matters Of dress, becomingness to the
special figure should be made the test
There are many styles worn, and each
wearer is free to use taste and dis
discretion.
Embroidery is fashionable, and the
Bulgarian designs are used for the
simple white work as well as for the
Bulgarian colors

Blouses such as this one can be
made of charmeuse satin, crepe de
chine or any simple silk; or, it can be
made of any simple material with
skirt to match if the entire gown is
wanted.
Tunic suggestions are all smart this
season. This skirt gives the tunic idea
by trimming portions arranged over
the sides. The main portion Of the
skirt is cut in six pieces. The panels
at the front and at the back are ex-
tended to form the lower portion and
the side panels are joined to them The
trimming conceals the seams The
panels and lower portion of the skirt
areof figured material while the side
portions and trimming portions are Of
plain. The model is an excellent one
for the coat suit, for the gown, and for
the odd skirt to be worn with separate
waists, and is adapted to washable
materials as well as to the heavy
woolens.
n IOTHING ever takes the plac.
in a girls wardrobe of the
simple shirt waist in mannish
style. This one can be made with a
box plat at the front or with hemmed
edges. The neck edge can be finished
with high turned-over collar or can
be cut out slightly on a diagonal line
and finished with a low collar. The
sleeves are of the set-in sort and are
finished at the wrists with either
rolled-over or straight cuffs. The
little pocket on the left side Of the
front with the flap that buttons into
place is very smart but it can be
omitted if it is not wanted and the
applied yoke across the back can be
used or omitted as liked

THE simple blouse made with a
big collar and open neck makes
an important feature of styles.
This one is charmingly attractive and
generally becoming and so easy to
make that it will appeal to every
woman. The sleeves are Of the "set-in"
sort but are gathered into deep cuffs
at the wrists and these cuffs can be
left plain or finished with rolled-over
portions as liked. The big collar with
the points over the shoulders is emf
nently smart and the slightly open
neck will be generally worn; but, If
liked, the blouse can be worn with any
chemisette. There are only front and

y we must have. This one can be
treated in two absolutely DIFF
ferent ways and practically makes two
different models. With the neck cut
high and the sleeves cut long, it
is just a tailored waist With the
open neck, fancy collar and short
sleeves, it is a dainty blouse suited
to quite different uses. For the for
mer, linen, madras and the like are
the preferred materials; for the latter.
all the dainty voiles marquisettes,
cotton crepes are liked, and also a
great deal Of crepe de chine and the
new MORE which is as soft and pliable
as the crepe itself will be worn. The
short. sleeves can be embroidered, as
in this instance, or finished with trim
ming and the long sleeves can be
finished with soft rolled-over or straight
stiff cuffs
The six-gored skirt is one Of the
best liked Of the season. The model is
an excellent one for all materials
adapted to the tailor finish. Linen,
ratin6, cotton poplin, pique and the
like as well as wool, while taffeta and
such silks suit it perfectly we'll.
The skirt is madein six cores. When
the front and back cores are arranged
to form box plaits they can be stitched
for their entire length or to any de-
sired depth, and the closing is made
invisibly beneath the left edge of the
box plat at the back. When the plain
seams are used, the closing can be
made at either the left of the back or
the left of the front. When the skirt
is cut to the high waist line it is boned,
when cut to the natural line it is Joined
to belt.
Toys are sure to like this Blouse
n suit. 1t gives a Norfolk sug-
gestion that is sailor in style,
and the straight, loose trousers are
pleasing for warm weather wear. In
this case, blue serge is trimmed with
white, but suits of this kind are made
from galatea and from poplin, linen
and washable materials of the kind
and are in every way desirable. The
blouse, too, can be used separately or
it can be made of washable material
while the trousers are Of serge. In
whatever way it is treated. the suit
will be found most satisfactory one
The front edges of the blouse are
finished with hens beneath which the
closing is made, and the trousers are
attached to a waist-band that can be
buttoned to any underwaist. -
HE simple frock closed at the
front is favorite one for girls.
This one is extremely smart,

to adjust and easy to launder. Il can

be utilized for various washable ms
terials and also for challis and other
fabrics Of the kind. The skirt is cut
in three pieces, one piece forming the
box plat at the front, the other two
the sides and the back. The blouse
includes set-in sleeves that can be
made longer or shorter as liked. This
frock is made Of black and white striped
wolfe with collar and cuffs of handker-
chief linen.

TIVE skirt that show, "a Sigh,
drapery at the front is one of
the newest. This one is espe-
cially attractive for the reason that
the straight overlapped edge gives a
slender effect to the figure while the
drapery at the left side is unusually
graceful. The little tucks at the back
make pretty feature also. The model
is an excellent one both for suits and
for gowns. Fashion continues to allow
a choice of the slightly raised waist
line and the natural one so that the
finish can be made at whichever point
is more becoming. In the illustration
there is no trimming used but buttons
might be used on the overlapped edge
to give an attractive effect. Crepe and
eponge, or ratine, promise to be the
smartest of all things this season and
both these materials are well adapted
to this design while it is equally well
suited to the more familiar ones. As
there are only three pieces in the skirt
there are only two seams to be sewed
up. The closing is made invisibly be-
meath the overlapped edge.

sleeves will be much worn
this summer. They are always
Netty and always graceful and they
are shown in the newest and smartest
waists. This one is quite plain and is
closed at the front and these are both
fashionable features. There is a new
collar too that can be worn up closely
about the throat or rolled open. Such
a waist is suited to the gown of SIM
pie sort and also for wear with the
tailored suit or the odd skirt. 1t is
perfectly simple and, having only two
seams, easy to make. Whatever the
length of the sleeves. they are finished
with cuffs.

that ever occurred in his experience
was in connection with marriage
notice. The bridegroom was a man
by the name of Gum, whose father
Abraham Gum, was a leading citi-
zen. The editor wanted to give the
young couple good send off, but
turned in the copy and trusted to a
drunken printer and a drunken proof
reader to see that it got into the pap
er all right. The next morning he
read the announcement headed
''Gunsmith- The girls name was

that the blushing bride was tastefully

she carried large red nose He
had written regarding the groom that

to a personal friend at Carthage, Gov.
Brewer denies a rumor that has been
current for several days to the effect
that when he concludes the peniten-
tiary investigation a probing will be
given to the financial affairs of the
Vardaman administration, which were
very much in the limelight during the
1911 campaign.
Governor Brewer states in his letter
that he regards the alleged shortage
in Gov. Vardaman's accounts, especial
ly the contingent fund, as res ad
judicata, having been disposed of by
the legislature, and also in the courts
In 1910 G. ]. Moore, a well-known

fund, and other trust funds handled by
