there are very few wires, in fact the
fewest number possible to hold the
shape Of the hat.
It is in the management Of the veil
that the designers find exercise for
their variety of ideas. They are using
hemstitched chiffon, either wire or
narrow, and in lengths varying from
IN to three yards. Nearly all these
wells are attached to the hat at the
back or across the front or all around
by band Of trimming which is placed
where the brim and crown join.
Small elastic cords are run in some
Of the wells, gathering them loosely
about the neck. The veil is fastened
at the back with hook and eye.
Longer wells are brought over the
face and about the neck and tied In
loose knot. Wide wells, falling from
the brim of the hat. are split up from
the bottom to half the width of the
; veil. The split Is finished with a
narrow hem. Each half Of the veil
is brought to the back of the neck,
where the ends cross and are brought
to tho front and tied In loose knot
either directly in front or to one side.
Vivid colOrs are In great demand.

TASK OF DIGGING POTATOES
Maintained by Some Flavor and Pal
atabIIIty Lost by Washing Cling
Ing Dirt From Tubers.

Where potatoes are very dirty
when taken from the field. some grow
ers wash all the soil OF them. 9th
ers maintain that It ruins their flavor
and palatability. They are certainly
far more cleaner and more desirable
to handle when the hose has been
turned on them, and the clinging.
hardened dirt washed OF.
II the ground is fairly dry when
they are dug, and If they are allowed
to take the air and the wind for q
while. they will usually be clean
enough to do without washing. There
is every reason for digging them dur
ing such weather conditions.
Potato digging should be made .
sort of an odd job, one that can be
done at any time when there 10 moth
ing more pressing to do. The potato
crop should be an important one, and
any farmer who is forced to buy po-
tatoes for table use should look upon
himself as temporarily disgraced.
Enough potatoes are spoiled every
year by careless digging to feed city
of the second class for twelve months.
Only in communities where the po-
tato is the main and staple crop is
there any real care shown in digging
and handling this very important food
crop.

SUNDAY BUSINESS HIT
BY FOUNDER BRADLEY
From a stan Correspondent

ASBURG PARK, N. J.. June 49,
The removal of the narrow foot
bridge that crossed the fiume at the
foot of Deal Lake is causing a great
amount of speculation today as to
what motive was behind the destruc-
ton of the bridge. The structure was
torn away by gang of workmen
yesterday afternoon at the direction
of founder James A. Bradley.
The founder announced that the
bridge was removed as a matter of
precauticn for the many persons who
would cross 1t en- route to the air
drome on the Loeb Arbour side Of
the flume. 1t was known that the
proprietors of the airdrome had
planned to give Sunday performances
there and the destruction of the
bridge is said to be another blow at
Sunday business in and around As
bury Park.
With the bridge removed the air.
drome is as isolated from the main
pleasure resort as though it were
several miles further along the shore.
Wooden barbados have been placed
at both ends where the bridge stood
and at night red lanterns are placed
there tc warn pedestrians of the
change.

THREE-ACT OPERETTA AT
GRADUATION EXERCISES

In conjunction with the gradual
ting exercises of the Cathedral
school, which were held last night in
the Kruger Auditorium. in Belmont
avenue, the children of the school
presented an entertainment that has
seldom been equaied by any school
in the city.
About fifty pupils of the school
appeared in a three-act operetta en-
titled RIP Van Wrinkle of Sleepy
Hollow" Not only was the piece
deliberately staged with appropriate
and handsome costumes. but the
voices of the children were excellent
and reflected much credit upon the
school and its instructors. Each Sc
lection by the children was received
with hearty rounds of applause by
the large audience of several thou
sand persons that was gathered in
the auditorium. Too much cannot
be said of the acting and voices of
the Misses Mary Moran and Mar
guerite Thompson, who took the parts
of Rip Van Wrinkle and Katrina, his
wife, respectively.

COURT HOLDS MAN WHO
WAS DEFIANT THRICE

William Flanagan, of 20 Triton ter
race. who has twice defied the au-
thority of the Second Precinct Police
Court, was Jailed today to await an
examination Tuesday.
He was charged by his mother with
abusing her and acting In disor-
derby manner in her home. Summoned
to appear last Tuesday, he did not
obey the court order. Acting Judge
Oehring then issued a bench warrant
for him, and when he was arrested
Lieutenant Purcell paroled him to ap-
pear the next morning. Again he
failed to present himself in court.
Arrested once more, he was paroled
until June 1. Last night he was ar
rested while he, 1t is alleged. was
creating another disorderly scene in
his mothers home.
