Many Are Subscribing


A feature of the reports yesterday OF
almost every team was the large number
of donors, showing that many people were
subscribing, and that the teams We're
working hard, but that nearly all sub
scriptions are comparatively small. Chair
man Exum told of one team of ladies
which had worked" an Italian fruit
vender and received 25 cents, which he
said was all he could afford. Mr.. Exum
stated that it probably was the most val
liable subscription received in spite of the
fact that in actual cash it was the small
est, and the statement was loudly cheered

| TO BE SLIM AND STRAIGHT
Fashionable Appearance That
Is So Necessary.

To present fashionable appear
ance and wear the modes Of the mo-
ment it is necessary to be straight
and slim; but this does not necessar-
lily mean slight and small, nor are
actual measurements any real crlte-
rion. The corset is naturally Of prim-
ary Importance. In fact, 1t may be
said to be the foundation of the figure.
A well-modeled corset, carefully de-
signed to suit particular figure, can
never be termed expensive, even IL
the cost be large; but if not express
ly made, 1t is advisable to have the
corset fitted by an expert. Above all.
the woman Of full figure should give
up any idea Of a small waist. A few
inches specified here means more com.
fort and straighter effect, and this Is
a really important point. The cor.
set must be low, the waist be two or
three inches larger than usual, tho
hips held in tightly and the front
kept fiat.

Pastel Shade Popular.

It has become quite a fad to have
the combinations. corset covers, petit.
coats, gowns, etc, In colored batiste to
match the costumes with which they
are to be worn, or else to harmonize
with the decorations OF the boudoir,
particularly in the case Of gowns and
petticcats. The trimmings are usually
lace Of the shadow or Val. variety.
Cluny baby Irish and Venise are used
on gowns and pctticoats. This fad will
probably continue until hot weather
arrives, at which time there Is nothing
oetter than white.

QUAINT SILKS HAVE VOGUE
For Dressy Summer Gowns They Are
Likely to Become Altogether
General Favorltes.

Nothing more persuasive could pos
sibly be imagined for the dressy sum.
mer gown than these quaint tlowered
silks. When they first came to notice
some months ago there were certain
doubts as to whether they would find
favor. But the authorities responsible
for the introduction were firm in the
belief that even the vividly colored
examples would be accepted. These
last are strongly reminiscent Of old
chintz designs, and there are others
just as tender.
With silks, brocades and likewise
crepons we shall have to reckon with
severe little waist bodice that will
rest the onus of its success on some
novel treatment of the belt. Either
narrow, with one falling end looped
over the left side of the front, or ex-
tremely deep and folded, or else the

The word Colonial" as referring

out definite idea lof its meaning in
this connection. Properly speaking.
Colonial house. or Colonial furniture,
dates back to time before the Dec.
laration Of independence. when this
country was dependency Of Great
Britain and classed as colony or col.
onies. Some good houses we're built
at that time by emigrants from Eng.
land and other countries. and the best
ideas Of building then known were
incorporated in these houses. There
Is abundant evidence Of the influence
exerted on the minds OF builders In
those days by the free expanse Of new
territory. Some Of these old.tIme
builders came from the narrow streets
OF old London and other large cities,
where narrow fronts and d!ngy out.
look were the rule even In the case
OF the better and more expensive
dwellings.
A broad front and square rooms,
with wide hall in the center, was
the elegant plan adopted by the more
generous-hearted entertainers OF co.
lonial days. They could afford to be
prodigal in the expenditure Of space
because they had left congestion be-
hind them. and the influence Of their
new environment had suggested
broadened lines in regard to house

peace. The president is not convinced
that crisis has been reached. He
does not believe the American people
are excited over conditions.
The shooting of Charles B. Dixon

but is minimized as all demands for
an investigation have been complied

YOUNG LADY BRUTALLY
MURDERED IN DALLAS
Found In Lavatory Of the Office Where
She Was Employed With Her
Throat Cut.
IBy Associated Press.l

Dallas, Texas, July 2S.-Miss Flor.
ence Brown, daughter OF patrolman,
was found dead with her throat cut
this morning in the lavatory OF the
real estate office where she was EN-.
ployed. Blood was spattered over the
whole room and the water in the basin
was bloody, apparently as IL some one
had washed his hands. There was no
weapon found. The girl was known
to be alone in the office at least half
an hour. Miss Brown was 27 years
old.
Within two hours after the discov-
cry of the murder the police arrested
twenty-five young white men In gen.
eral draenet campaign.
The knife cuts to the bone on the
girls hands showed desperate strug-
gle. Physicians who examined her
nearly-severed head said her assailant
must have been powerful man. The
examination failed to reveal
any mofive for the killing. Miss Brown
was well known as a church worker.
