Summer OutfitAccesSOries

The small accessories Of clothes are
today of first Importance, writes Mrs
Ralston in the Ladies Home Journal.
They give to the summer costume the
needed note of color. character and en-
phasis, without which so many of our
summer things. made in the light, deli
cate colors and materials suitable to the
season, are apt to lack a certain snap.
1t is these little things that have a way
of bringing the clothes into harmony
with the woman, and of giving that in
definable little touch which is so diff
cult to put ones finger on and yet which
the least schooled in fashion are so
quick and sure to recognize.
Suppose We take summer headdresses
and wells. The headdresses follow the
Persian and Eastern tendency in clothes,
some being nothing more than draped
turbans to be worn in place of evening
hats. These are made of the changeable
and soft chiffons which reflect the new
glowing colors in their weaves. They
are gracefully twisted, and trimmed at
the center front or back with one high
outstanding, uncurled feather quill These
turbans when made in suitable shapes
and colors are useful for the evening
at the seashore for women who require
some form of headgear.
For younger girls there are broad.

Washing Brass.

In the summer cleaning care should be
taken never to clean articles Of 1acquered
brass with any strong cleanser. Lye and
the rough, gritty cleansing agents must
never be used on such stuff. Wash brass
articles with hot water and soap. Dry
them as quickly as possible with a soft
cloth. This is important. Moisture
darkens brass quicker than anything

next spring. Two surveys have
been made thru North Mexico, we
are told. One survey will pass
thru w. w. Pollock's front yard,
inst east of Mexico. Coming on
northwcsterly it strike the city
limits lust east of the j. W. Rouse
property. 1t then passes near the
Coatsworth house, one of the fin
est dwellings, in the city, and then
passes Mrs. ). Il. Littlc's proper

thence to William Mason S proper
Is, touching n corner of Ms. My

Mason place in two diagonaliy.

next place touched is that of Mrs.

Another survey has been made
farther north, but either will spoil
