something dreadful happened.
That is why George A. H. Scott Of

Invitation and Answer.

Mr.. F. c. Phillips in his book, MY
Varied Life," tells how the late Sir
George Honeyman, an infamous
writer, sent down from the bench to
a friend of his, leading @. c.. a
little note. Not able to make head
nor tail Of it, the barrister scribbled
something equally undecipherable
upon a half-sheet of note paper. and
passed it up to the judge. Sir George
looked annoyed, and when the court
rose, said to his friend: What do
you mean by this? ! asked you to
come and dine with me tonight

piled that should be extremely glad

"The late Adlai e. Stevenson" said
Republican leader of Bloomington,

this was.
HE said that party politicians be-
lieved their side to be always right,
and the other side to be always wrong.
Whatever the other side advocated, 1t
was hossible and Internal; whatever
their own side advocated was holy.
HE said the partisan couldn't un-
derstand that you might arrive at the
the right thing by more ways than
one-and thus the partisan was like

the voile also. The underpetticoat Of
fine mousseline or organdie is finished
at the bottom with wide border OF
embroidered net. This same net
makes the neckpiece, which consists
of fichu and flaring collar in one.
Any pattern in a lace of bold design
may be substituted for the embroid-
cred net with equally good effect.
Handmade laces of linen braid are
especially appropriate IL the costume
is intended for summer wear only.
This gown, made up as pictured here,
might easily be serviceable at other
seasons of the year, as voile and en-
broidered net are fabrics used all the
year round.
1t is worth noticing that the tunic
is quite full, but the fullness is not
increased by the addition of a ruftie at
the bottom. This ruffie Is of exactly
the same width as the body of the
tunic above It, 1t Is finished with a
narrow plating of fine lace at the
bottom and similar plating joins it
to the tunic skirt.
The parasol, of embroidered taffeta,
Is edged with ruffle of chiffon and
completes an exquisite and refined In
depreciation of this summers modes.
There is no trace of any of the
freakish elements In the punching and
draping of materials about the figure.
All the lines are uninterrupted and
therefore graceful.

THE last word in thin summer toi-
i lettes, designed for the hot days of
August, comes in the form of this
combination of transparent materials
and embroidered net or heavy linen
with lace. Every detail of this cos
tune may be carefully considered,
from the transparent wide-brimmed
hat Of shirred maline, through the
elaborate neckpiece of embroidered
net. the wide velvet girdle, the very
full tunic and the close-hanging under
skirt, bordered with embroidered net,
not omitting the pumps of dull kid
with their snowy buckles. These fea-
lures embody the last evolution of the
summers modes, and indicate what
we may expect for the coming fall.
The costume shows a fine eye for
selection rather than a desire to be
original. There are several new
touches in the minor details, such as
the new form of side comb in the
hair, the very broad girdle of velvet
ribbon, and it's adjustments about the
hips in the oriental fashion. The long
sleeves of, voile indicate the liking for
long sleeves in thin fabrics which are
to be seen repeatedly in gowns of
heavier materials.
This gown is made of sheer, fine
voile embroidered in disks on the
lower half of the sleeves and about the
bottom of the tunic. The bodice,
which is bloused only little, Is of

Kept Out of Politics.

In Austria women are forbidden by
law to take an active part in politics
or to join any political association.
Last spring the chamber of deputies
decided to cancel the prohibiting
clause, and the political committee of
the upper house has now Endorsed this
vote of the deputies, with the explana-
ton that "the part taken by women
in associations with political ten
denotes is well known, and, under the
circumstances, can scarcely be pre-
vented" This bill has been sent back
to the deputies for further considera-
ton. The women Of Austria have been
leading an agitation against the rise
Of prices which they, as housekeepers.
feel most acutely. They have been
successful in cheapening coal in Vienna
and milk in Brunn. The leaders of the
movement have been elected to mu-
nicipal committees, and for the first
time woman has been put on a COM
mittee of town council, viz, that Of
Housing.
