WHAT THE IDEAL BOUDOIR Isl
Co,rctlv Furnished and Arstcaly Decorated 1t Forms
Beautiful Retreat Where May Be Found Repose
and Privacy-A Glimpse Into One

sive taste the world over. They
usually consist OF two pieces. There
is an upderdrcss OF accordion hand
pleated Liberty satin in some rich
color which clings very close to the
figure, outlining it and suggesting a
Tanagra figure. A double cording
slipping through eyelets across the
top can be drawn at will, to form a
high or low decollete.
Over this drops tunic of silk voile-
marquisette of very transparent quail
ity, with deep stencilled border, re
peating the design across the bust and
back. The edge is weighted with
fancy Oriental beads, and the tunic is
fastened at each shoulder with loops
and beads to match.
An effective color scheme is a slip
Of amber satin, yelled with pale aqua
marine, stencilled in copper. Tur-
quoise blue forms the basis of another
combined with tunic of deep ceru-
lean blue, stencilled in silver.
Beautiful are the cool pinks yelled
with mauve, and the coral-orange
shades, with their tunics of smoky
gray, yellow or brown, stencilled IN
dull gold.
The Boudoir's Lamps.
Few, indeed, are the rooms wherein
a lowered lamp shade looks well. But
the boudoir may have one or more OF
them. At both sides of the dressing
table expect to find row of flower
shaded lights and above it look for
circlet, small as a child's hoop, hold
ing electric bulbs, shaded in rose.
Daylight enters through box win
dow crossing one end of the room.
Its blinds are in Maltese lace and its
dreperies Of the hlmiest. Boudoir
window curtains are Of hundred va
rieties, each one of more fairylike text
ure than the other. and their drapery
scheme reflects much of woman's
character.
Intimate photographs and minia-
lures are on one stand and favorite
books on another, which revolves at
the pressure of finger. Any one
may examine these belongings, but it
is bad taste to disturb the writing
desk. That holds the visiting list, the
check books, bills and paper. In that
arc stationery, plain sheets for trades
people, monogrammed sheets tor
friends and sheets bearing the hus-
bands crest, solely for his own use.
The woman who knows how to cor
rectly furnish a boudoir also knows
that her personal stationery does not
carry crest.

Tipping Abroad
Two Women's Experiences in
Distributing on the Ten
Per Cent Basis.

TINE necessary though annoying
practice of tipping enters so
forcibly into foreign travel that
to the inexperienced it frequently
mars the genuine pleasure Of the first
trip abroad.
1t may be just as necessary to tip
in the United States, but the fees are
dealt out differently. One gives what
one wishes to and goes on. But IN
Europe, although the line OF servants
at the departure of guests at hotels
is not as bad as il once was, tipping
is as necessary and just as much of Il
nuisance. when it comes to bothering
about how much to give. Just how
to distribute the 10 per cent OF ones
bill according to attention and service
rendered is a puzzle.
Some notes from the diary OF two
women who spent the summer travel
ling through Switzerland may be help
full.
Diary Helpful.
They made stays of about ten days
or two weeks at each place. At the
end of each little sojourn they went
through the same feeling puzzling ex-
perience of not knowing how to dis
tribute what they had to give for SER
vice. In some hotels the head waiter
had a most imposing manner. Some
chambermaids did more.
The General System.
But they found this method worked
out we'll. After a stay OF l2-franc
rer day, pension rate, or 81 40 Of our
money, making about "a francs, OF
SIG 80 for the week, the bill, with sun
dries, would be perhaps $40, leaving
10 francs, or 81, to be distributed
This sounds like little, but with per
haps a bit more it should suffice I'M
less some extra or unusual service has
been required.
Fees by the Week.
The room maid for the week should
have about or pa francs. In the
hotels where the same maid did mo-
serve the luncheon and dinner these
travellers decided to give about
francs to the maid who served thei
breakfast in their room, and leave
something with the head waiter tc
give out to the walters as he consid

such attention, It takes courage to pass
this retinue only with greeting, al
though it is being done more and
more.
Porter Meets Emergencies.
Unless one has unusual baggage a
franc 10 sufficient for the trunk porter
unless he is boots" too, which means
a franc and a half. II there is apt 70
be any trouble or inconvenience about
hand luggage or about finding seats
in the train, speak to the hotel porter
and keep your fee until the end. Then
a franc apiece for two people or at
times one franc is taken graciously.
These two travellers often had an
extra piece of money at hand for
emergencies. 1t seldom happened
throughout the entire summer that
their fees were not happily received.
Yet each time they tried TO reassure
themselves that such would be the
case uncertain moments at the end of
each visit would persist in arising.
The head porter, or concierge, who
is often decked in broadcloth and gold
braid, causes a good many qualms.
His fee should depend upon his SER
vice and the amount Of attention de
manded of him. These two travellers,
who knew they were not troublesome,
gave together 5-franc piece, equiva-
lent to our dollar. and it was gracious
iy taken. For the usual questions an
swered, money changed, carriage
called, 81 is an ample tip from two
people.
Head Waiter Cashier for Dining Room.
1t is hard to get the remainder OF
the fees out of about francs, but II
is a good custom TO hand whatever is
reant for the dining room to the
head waiter for distribution. At least
four francs should go to him from
each person. Some travellers believe
a head waiter can do much for the
comfort of the people staying at
hotel; and that he should be paid for
this very thing. Naturally he will ac-
cept as large an amount as one cares
to bestow
The 81 so a day, or $40 80 a week
tate we have quoted is not high for
Switzerland. Three dollars a day is
q good average price to pay and OF
course this makes for more fees.
Hotel servants from the highest to
The lowest seem 10 know what rates
you are paying and expect tips &C

Special Cases.
Circumstances greatly alter cases.
Although a 5-franc piece has been
suggested for the concierge and the
head waiter there are times when
neither one deserved that much. II
the maid is tipped in the room she
does not appear in farewell line. To
many people it is far less annoying
to tip separately. 1t is wise at the
time of departure to have small coins
handy for the very little service for
which it is a pleasure to give bit
If one manages we'll and learns how
to discriminate, the 10 per cent tip
ping system should do. There are
travellers of experience who have
mastered it and say they get the best
OF service and attention.

The skirt is shirred on to the waist
and forms a narrow ruff1e at the top.
In the direct front the skirt is again
shirred and trimmed by a spray OF
pink and blue roses. The sides are
plain, while the back is draped up in
a hustle effect. This dress has the
quaint air so much striven for this
season. In turquoise only, S42 so.
Maroon Silk Wrap.
A good shop has wrap which
would serve equally we'll for afternoon
or evening wear 1t is made Of bro
caded maroon silk, with the well liked
kirnono sleeve Brown marabout

comes lined for SIS and unlined for

Hair Ornaments.
Though rhinestone hair ornaments
are Just as much used tor evening as
they were last year, they are far less
expensive. A very good looking pair
of pins is of demi-blond shell, with a
hinged rhinestone top. The hinged
top is an extremely good feature, as
il is made so that the pin may be
turned in the hair to give the new ef-
feet. Price So 95.
Another good looking ornament is
a metal hairpin with a thickly set
rhinestone top in which the pin IS
shaped to take firm hold upon the
hair. Price 81 95 each.
Evening Slippers.
Evening dress must have slippers TO
match. One very good shop has
smart models in all colors and sizes.
The plain slippers can be had for So
and rhinestone buckles for as little as

touch of trimming they need.
Silk understands are nice to wear
at all times, but especially in the eve
ming with the low dresses. They come
in Italian silk in all colors for 81 So
The 24-button gloves are usually
used with evening dress. One shop is
showing a beautifully made model Of
an excellent quality Of kid for SIS.
A Light Dancing Wrap.
An attractive addition to ones
wardrobe is the becoming tulle scarf
to throw over the shoulders. The
ends may be caught at the wrist by d
little bracelet of narrow ribbon TO

which gives a graceful line when
dancing. The scarf requires only two

BIPARTISAN LAW |
NEW STATUTE is GREAT I'M.
PRovEMENT OVER THE
OLD SYSTEM.
ENDS CHANCE OF COMBINES
Most Of the Old Judges Represent the
Choice Of the Party In the Majority
All Who Wished Il Have Been
sRenominated.

For some reason, men and papers,
usually aggressive for state wide pri-
maries, find much fault with the Non
partisan Judicial act While no objec-
tion can be urged to this act which
does not apply equally to any state
wide primary, there is no law against
being inconsistent. But the truth
should be told as to the reasons for
this inconsistency.
This law was favored by the demo-
cratic state convention which acted
six months before the legislature met.
It was the first law introduced, and
almost the last one passed. 1t had so
many ups and downs that the newspa-
pers were full of it. Full arguments
were made before the committees.
The vote OF adoption was almost unan-
imous in both houses, so that talk
about secrecy is all nonsense.
Those who know how judges were
made under the old system know
why this law is an improvement II
1t defeats some Of the old supreme
court judges. it will not be revolution
airy. Not long ago two Of them were
defeated under the old system be.
cause the republican state conven.
ton refused to renominate them.
The total Of judicial candidates is
improved. Most the old judges repre-
sent the choice of the party in the ma
jority. All who wished it have been
re-nominated. So that far, the candi-
dates are as good as they ever were.
But the additional candidates are
better. Before, they were of the min
ority, and anybody in the minority
party could get nominated. AS they
now have an even chance, better men
applied, so that the whole field 10 de-
-cidedly improved.
Whatever these men and papers
may say, they in fact object to hav-
sng the people Of Iowa draw for their
judges upon all Iowa lawyers. without
inquiry as to how they happen to stand
on the tariff. They fear that now and
then some good lawyer who 10 . DEM
-ocrat may be elected Judge. or some
one who has not dried up on the dis
~trict bench. They are sore on their
pet state primary child because occa-
ssionally some man gets by who does
mot have the Cummins stamp OF ap-

3. I. Salinger did good job for the
people of Iowa when he helped to get
this law made. 1t ends the chance OF
big interests and combines to make
and unmake judges, and to keep the
Judges in fear OF these interests. The
whole people now do the business.

PR. R. SEEKS heavier
Rail IN SAFETY Plan
Trial Orders to Roll
Them 120 Pounds
to Yard

AS a further step toward increas-
ing the safety of travel by rail, under
modern conditions of heavy trains and
high speed the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company is likely to adopt a
steel rail weighing 12O pounds to the
yard. This is also the standard Of
a few other great trunk lines on their
main divisions.
Tests of the 12O-pound rails already
have been made by officials of the
Pennsylvania railroad at the plant Of
the Maryland Steel Company, near
Baltimore. The added cost of the
heavier rails is the chief obstacle
in the way of their use, particularly
on account of the program of economy
under which most of the railroads
now are working.
The experiments with the heavier
rail we're undertaken with view to
evolving a safe rail which would not
be prohibitive in cost Two trial or
ders, each of 10000 tons, were given
out, one to the Cambria Steel Com
pany and the other to the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Company, the parent cor
poration of the Maryland Steel plant

WASHINGTON, June l1.-Senator

gress in years, yesterday issued
statement declaring that the 100000

entire bill $53,000,0OO was justified
and necessary. He said that one of
the best items was S2,250,OO0 for the
purchase of the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal. The Senate increased
this amount from $1,300,O0O, recon-
mended by the House.
