The FoolsKi1ler is not even forty

I own this entire establishment,

Does that sound strange?
Well, bless your soul, l am a great

I never travelled any to speak OF,
but have read great deal, and have
thunk some.
I have also writ few books which
I know are great, because they don't
sell worth cent.
Great books never do.
And then I started The Fool-Killer,
Just to quiet my nerves and keep the
old press from getting rusty.
From the seclusion of these wooded
hills there will go forth each month
q bundle Of literary dynamite that
will shake the rotten foundations Of
society and cause the Church Of Nam
mon to at least turn over in it's sleep.
The Fool-Killer is a monthly mus
tard-plaster for the blood-boils of
Society, Church and State.
Tt is salted with wit, peppered with
hunlor and seasoned with sarcasm.
Every line cuts like whip, and
every word raises a blister.

A frock of this kind can be worn either
in the afternoon or evening and, con-
sequently, it is an extremely practical
one to pack away in the summer trunk.
It is charming developed in crepe de

which perfectly exemplifes that new
line. 1t is very pretty, dainty little
frock made Of broche crepe. chiffon
and lace. Just beside it is a dress
showing tunic of lace over a skirt Of
messaline. The combination is
smart one and the lines are all good.
The sash that is tied right at the
center-front is especially worthy Of
note. Lace is one Of the favorite
materials of,the late summer, and the
lace tunic is daintiness itself, but it is
easy to see how this same model
could be reproduced in any bordered
materialI wolfe, marquisette. or some
thing similar if the lace is not at hand
The two remaining dresses Of this
same group show developments of
the girdle and sash that really are
important, since girdles and sashes
are being much exploited. The frock
to the left is one OF the daintiest and
prettiest young girl can wear. 1t is
simplicity itself and includes all the
new lines. As it is shown here. crepe
de chine Is finished with lace and
with girdle of satin. The dress at
the left combines lowered crepe de
chine with plain. and combinations
OF that sort are to continue all their
Snnartness throughout the coming
season. Girls who are looking for
dresses which will finish out the sum-
mer and. at the same time, serve for
the autumn, will do we'll to note all
these designs.
n 1OTHING impresses one more
strongly in considering the
newest fashions than the way
in which straight pieces of material
are manipulated and the wonderful
effects Of skirts that are cut in one,
two q three pieces. The costume
shown here with blouse Of lace and
skirt Of satin is really elaborate in
effect, yet both blouse and skirt are
absolutely the simplest possible. It
needs very little labor to make it,
yet the materials are 90 handsome
and the effect SO good that it appears

that is shown just beside i gives
