Nothing could be prettier than the
hats designed for bridesmaids except
the maids themselves. This season
will find these heralds Of the honey
moon more picturesquely gowned,
more fascinatingly hated, than in
any summer that lies within the mem
DRY of man.
What with flowing curves in gowns
made of supple, live" fabrics, with
the additional grace Of the long chif-
fon scarf, the vogue Of glowing col
ors and the beauty of millinery,
bridesmaids have the opportunity to
look like a dream of fair women
come true.
Nearly all hats selected for them
are of the picture-hat variety as here
tofore. They are flower and feather
laden with trimmings in gay, soft col
orings. They are graceful to the last
degree and the fashionable brides
maids scarf helps them out in being
SO. This is made of white or a light
tinted chiffon, bordered with Dresden
ribbon in which are repeated the
colorings in the hat.

RASH SPREAD TO ARMS

759 Roach Ave-, Indianapolis, Ind
"At first I noticed small eruptions on
my face. The trouble began as a rash.
It looked like red pimples. In a few
days they spread to my arms and back.
They itched and, burned so badly that
scratched them and of course the re-
suit was blood and matter. The erup-
lions festered, broke, opened and dried
up, leaving the skin dry and scaly. /
spent many sleepless nights, my back,
arms and face burning and itching;
sleep was purely and simply out of
this question. The trouble also caused
Disagreement. My clothing irritated
the breaking out.
"By this time I had used several
well-known remedies without success.
The trouble continued. Then began
to use the sample of Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. Within seven or eight
days I noticed gratifying results. I
purchased a full-sized cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and box Of Cuticura ONT
ment and in about eighteen or twenty
days my cure was complete" (Signed)

BRIGHTER c0LORS FOR HATS
Insignificant, and Headgear Loses
Its Chief Charm.

Weary of devising black headgear,
the milliners are inducing their GUS
toners to take an interest in colors
by bringing forward hats made of bro
cade, with exquisite colors splashed
,ver a background of gold or silver
1t is urged that the black hat came
into fashion when mammoth" millin-
cry was worn, because women felt
they could support a great expanse
If straw and feathers only if it was
Of ebon hue. But the small hat now
IN vogue looks Insignificant when
wholly black, hence the prospect Of
he brocaded model.
With a velvet brim of one of the
nodish jewel colors, such as ruby, sap
ehire or turquoise, and tempered by a
black plume placed at the back of the
lead or in front, according to the
fancy Of the designer The brocade
aat is a descendant Of the turban worn
IN the evening, and one of it's char
lcteristics is its fantastic plume. The
most whimsical edition Of the plume
IS called the Interrogation mark" be-
cause it suggests the question: What
torn will the feathers take next?"

TO WEAR WITH SHEER WAIST
Matter of Underbody Is of Very Sc
rious Moment Now That Warm
weather Is at Hand.

Among the latest models of blouses
the skirt is one of white tulle made
after the style Of sailor blouse. The
square collar is of fine valenciennes
lace. Worn beneath this is a lining
made of MORE ribbon. The ribbon is
so arranged in front that it forms a
plastron which shows above the de-
colletage of the blouse. The sleeves
of unlined tulle are set in halfway
down the arm and reach to the wrists.
Beneath show the sleeves of the I'M
derblouse of fine valenciennes. These
fall over the hand and are frightened at
the wrist by band of MORE ribbon.
Elaborate underbodies are quite nee
essary now that sheer materials are
ased SO much A very pretty one con-
sists simply of wide ribbon, which is
seemingly wound round the figure and
terminates in a voluminous chou in
the middle of the bust This may we'll
accompany blouses of unlined tulle or
nousseline. Most of these indispen-
sable accessories are only held by a
shoulder ribbon of varying breadth,
but for evening wear this ribbon dis
appears, leaving the shoulders quite
care.
It is most important to select care
FULLY the ribbons which are used for
:his purpose. In such details one may
be allowed great freedom if only it
produces desirable results. Black vel
ret ribbons may give admirable results
when employed with discretion

Appropriations RaIIse state Tax.

Auditor General O. B. Fuller says
the state tax for the next two years
will be the largest in the history of
Michigan. The legislature was Law
ish in it's appropriations and many in
stitutions that have heretofore been
content with little sums feel that the
benevolent legislature Of 1913 has in
deed done well by them.
Two years ago former Governor Os-
born used his veto power to a consid-
cradle extent, and practically all the
appropriation measures were mutila-
ted in some manner. He was a firm
believer in economy and many useless
items were eliminated However,
Governor Ferris did not veto single
appropriation bill or cut any OF them
one penny. Whether the treasury
will be able to stand up under the adj
ditional strain is question that is
causing some of the state officials con-
siderable worry. The clerks in the
state department are recalling the
days few years ago when there
were no pay checks for several
months, and they were compelled to
ask the local banks to advance them
money on their salaries. 1t is not
thought that the states strong box
will be empty before the close of the
present year, but it is said the pros
poets are not bright for big surplus.
The appropriations Of previous ses-
sions included in the 1913 and 1914
budget are as follows:

Realism In Art.

A countryman was recently visiting

The countryman listened in silence
for a time, but finally broke out
with: :
"Oh, yeou git eout! There is old

Special Session Discussed.

With the close of the 1913 session
of the legislature, the main question
now uppermost in the minds of the
people if Michigan is What Is the
governor going to do now and Is he
going to call special session?
Are you going to call special ses-
sion?" the governor was asked.
Nov, that is one of the questions
that | am at this time unable to an
swer" he replied However, I will
tell you what I am going to do. I
Intend to write each member Of the
legislature some time this summer,
asking him what he individually would
consider needed legislation of the
state, providing special session was
called. l shall not ask him if he
thinks there is any necessity for call
ing such session.
while | am awaiting the answers
shall take my message to the past leg
islature and go over it carefully and
see how many of Its measures / ad-
vocated have been carried out. About
the same time l shall write perhaps a
tISltcIS W plOlulAC1C luCA VI
the state, not members of the legisla-
ture, asking them their views The
members of the legislature will prob
ably suggest many things they think
are needed, and with all this informa-
ton in my hands shall start a sitting
out process, and after sitting thor
oughly will decide about the special
session.
There are number of matters
which | have in mind which person
ally think the people of Michigan
should have enacted into laws. l am
more than pleased at the progressive
legislation we have passed, yet we
should not stop where we are. In
considering these matters 1 am not
going to take into consideration my
own political future in the least.
IF the condition of Mrs. Ferris per-
mits me to remain in Lansing I shall
make an investigation of the state in
situations such as was never before
undertaken" said the governor. "By
this mean that l will visit each one
personally. not with the idea that
there is anything wrong with any Of
them, but want to do a little inves-
tigating on my own hook"

Ferris vc,oes Bills.

FerrlS VCSoSs Bits.
Thus far Governor Ferris has used
his veto power sparingly, but several
bills we're decapitated by the chief
executive, and many were signed.
One bill that did not meet favor
with the governor was Senator
Weadock's measure authorizing
boards of supervisors to raise money
for the purchase of sites for public
buildings and bridges.
Representative Grigg's bill relative
to township plats were vetoed because
a similar bill introduced in the senate
was passed.

Sheen on Small Farms.

Sheep are the most profitable
stock an Oregon farmer can keep.
A good eve will produce a lamb
every year that is worth as much
as herself and will yield more than
enough wool to pay for her keep.
Besides this, sheep are valuable in
cleaning up the rough land and
keeping down weeds that horses and
cows will not touch.
An Iowa sheep breeder says that
of six hundred plants common to
that state the sheep eats five hun
dred and fifty-against eighty-two
for the horse and fifty-six for cattle.
In many places farms are said to be
sheep hungry need just this
kind of grazing to keep the foul stuff
down.
1t is comparatively easy to care
for sheep. There is little to do in
feeding them, and no stable to clean.
This does not mean that they need
no care at all, but with a sheep-tight
pasture fence they will do we'll with
less attention than any other farm
stock.
There is a tendency to undertake
sheep culture more generally upon
small farms. A company with large
capital has been recently organized,
which will let out flocks to New Eng
land farmers to keep on shares, and
similar movement is taking place in
other sections of the country. 1t
would be good thing for Oregon.
