4 WONDERFULLY beautiful
~ costume seen today is of silk
and wool ratine in rather
indefinite check, or small plaid,
showing varying shades Of tan and
brown with threads of green. The
skirt and the short coat are Of the
ratine but the trimming on the coat
and the short tunic are of green duvtyn.
Shown, as it was, upon a tall, svelte
model, the costume was really beauti-
full. It requires some consideration and
self control to remember that the tunic
of color different from the coat and
skirt mean a cutting of the figure and
that only the tall, slender figure could
look we'll so clothed. A more con-
sentative costume, bearing an equally
important name, is made Of blue gab-
ardine with plain skirt, double tunic
and jaunty little jacket. The skirt
and jacket are of the duvetyn. The
tunic and the frills that edge the jacket
are Of taffeta in the same color and the
note Of contrast and brilliancy is found
in the collar and girdle of figured
novelty cloth. 1t is not less smart
than the ratine costume. It gives the
newest and latest lines and there is
contrast of materials and the fact that
one color is preserved throughout will
render it far more generally becoming
than the contrasting tunic can ever be.
The designers offer us the models and
it is for each one of us to determine
which one is adapted to our own need.
1t is surely our own weakness and not
the fault of others if we go astray.
Undoubtedly, contrasting tunics are
fashionable and the tall woman who
can wear them with success will find
them replete with opportunities, but,
no matter how good the model is in
itself, no matter how smart and how
beautiful, it is not desirable if it cuts
the wearer's figure unfortunately and
perverts the lines

Contrast of materials will often
bring about as beautiful result as con-
trast of color and we will use all sorts
of fabrics together this season, silk
with handsome cotton stuffs quite as
we'll as with wool and with other silks
and touches of trimming can be util-
lied to give the brilliant note that
seems so insistently called for by pre-
vailing styles that it is difficult to avoid
mentioning it again and again.
The severe, simple tailor made cos
tune is seldom found this season ex-
cept for the most prosaic morning
use and for the hardest service.
What is known as the demi-tailored
costume is the preferred one and
the one that will be generally worn
while silk costumes and silk gowns
with fascinating little wraps unques-
tionably will make a feature Of
afternoon occasions. Every kind of
short, jaunty listle coat is worn and
frequently the coat will be OF diff
ferent material from the skirt, as a
brocaded or a fancy material over
plain taffeta or a taffeta in embroid-
cred flowers over a plain one. For
the early season when some little
warmth is required over the shoulders
and about the neck, there are ex-
quisite little neck ruches and rufus
of lace and tulle that are always be-
coming, and the very latest Paris
fancy is to arrange these rufus within
the collars that fare away from the
figure, the soft materialresting about
the throat and filling the opening in an
altogether attractive and becoming
manner.
For the afternoon dance which
appears to be growing in favor day by
day and week by week. taffeta and
crepe seem to be the preferred ma
terials but there is no end Of variety

younger contingent, suspender effects
are greatly liked and are pretty, and
very charming contrasts are made
with skirts and tunics of silk and
bodice Of lace, net, chiffon or other
thin material in white or cream with
suspenderlike trimming Of the silk to
complete the costume idea. In some
instances, these suspenders are draped
over the shoulders, in some they are
three to four inches wide and again
they become narrow straps, but uni
formly they are attached to girdle
that matches them in both material
and color and. for the prettiest effect.
matches the skirt also. Since the
dance is an exercise that means
warmth, the blouses are comfortable
as we'll as fashionable and the pretty
little trimming relieves them in the
most attractive way. Later at the
resorts where such things are most in
demand, little capes will be worn as
(, wraps and these capes falling just
little below the hip line are simply cir
cular, taking pretty folds and ripples,
while they are made Of golfine, duvetyn

CINCE dancing is just as much a
y fad for the younger contingent
as for the older, girls will need
dancing frocks without number and
this one will surely find a place. In
the picture, it is made of simple lace
founcing over skirt Of messaline.
The effect is charming and the
founcing means very little labor for,
all the edges being finished, it trims
itself. The skirt consists Of just two
pieces. There are, however a great
many possibilities in such design.
In the back view, it is shown made of
a pretty little cotton crepe with trim
ming Of lace and. when it is treated in
that way. it becomes an every day
dress.

EYANGELISTIC MEETINGS
Sank Centre Will Open Series July II
in Charge of Rev. Charles
Cullen Smith.

The Union Evangelistic Campaign
announced last week will begin Sum
day, July IL. The pastors OF the
churches planning these services
have satisfied themselves that Messrs
Smith and Gilmour are the right men
to bring to Sank Centre. The BaD-
fist, Congregational and = Methodist
churches will unite for the meetings.

on the Burlington fast mail from
Council Bluffs to Burlington, Iowa.
During this time in the service Of
Uncle Sam he passed seven examina-
tions and averaged 80 in each, and for
three years "the record" in the state
of Iowa.
During Mr.. Smiths railroad life, he
became greatly interested in the lives
of railroad men. Being an active
Christian himself he desired to help
others to learn the way. 1t result I'd
in his entering the work Of the Young
Mems Christian Association in 1887
at Marshalltown, Iowa, then the head
quarters of the Iowa Central Railway.
He continued in that work for ten
years in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Chi
cago, Ill. He was for year and a
half assistant pastor of the Moody
church in Chicago, and there came in
contact with the great Evangelist
Moody whose methods Mr.. Smith re-
ally uses in his work. During the
Spanish war, Mr.. Smith
was in the Christian commission at
Chickamaugua Park under Mr..
Moody's direction. Sixty-two thous
and soldiers were there most of the
time. This and Mr.. Smiths railroad
and Y. M G. A. life have given him e
love for men. He and Fred B. Smith
the national leader of the Men and
Religion Forward Movement are bro
theirs. The Smith brothers are the
original tenors of the well known In
ternational male quartette.
In the year 1897 Mr.. Smith entered
direct .evangelistic work and he has
been engaged in campaigns, from
coast to coast and from Canada to
the Gulf. During the time he has
been associated with such leaders as
Chapman, Biederwolf, Torrey, Ostrom,
and others. He is not one of the SER
sational order. AS one man express
ed it, "Mr. Smith is safe, sane and
sensible,> therefore satisfactory" He
hits straight from the shoulder, but
respects every mans honest opinion.
It will pay all to hear Mr.. Smith re-
peatedly.

PRESIDENCY IS PROBLEM
United States Believes Solution of
Mexican Tangle is to Make
COnstitutionalist Executive.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 16.-Al-
though there were no conferences be-
tween the mediators and the Ameri
can or Mexican delegates it was ap-
parent that things were making for a
great struggle in diplomacy between
the United States and the Huerta
government during the coming week.
While mediation has passed safely
over many Obstacles so far the factor
on which peace most dependable Sc
lection of provisional president ac-
ceptable to all factions-has brought
the entire mediation body to a reali-
cation that the ultimately on this ne :,
diation. will succeed or fail. Many
names have been suggested, but thus
far none has been found suitable.
There is no longer any doubt in the
minds, of the mediators or Mexican
delegates that the American govern
ment believes the only solution of
the present tangle is to place the ex-
ecutive power in the hands of a broad
minded Constitutionalist through a
peaceful negotiation rather than to
have the inevitable occur-a military
conquest of Mexico CiCy-with the
possibility of international complica-
tions through injuries to foreigners.
In the last few days alone has the
American governments position been
revealed publicity, but on the high
est authority it became known tina.
the United States had informed the
mediators in unequivocal language at
the very outset that it contemplated
favoring a constitutionalist for pro-
visional president.
Justice Lamar and Frederick w.
Lehman have made it clear that the
Washington government itself has no
preference for persons, or parties, but
that in forming judgment on the
most feasible and certain way TO
bring peace to Mexico it had come to
the conclusion that control must be
given to the Constitutionalists. On
no other terms will the big Consti-
nationalist force lay down arms.

PARK RAPIDS MURDER
Continued Ill Feeling Between Peter
Healy and Harve Mccullough Re-
suits in Formers Death

Peter Healy is dead, and Harve Nc
Cullough is held at the county Jail,
without bonds, on the charge of hav-
ing taken his life. The crime, it's con-
sequences, and the causes which led
up to the horrible result, have brought
shadow of sadness and sorrow to the
entire community for the principals to
the tragedy are we'll known to nearly
all residents, says the Park Rapids
Journal. AS the final disposition Of
the case will be by jury trial, after
grand jury has given the facts. con-
sideration and returned its Indictment,
it is not advisable that a newspaper
should present the whole of the details
of the affair, and for this reason the
matter is handled briefly. ~
The trouble between the two men
began up town, Healy had been drink
ing, and reports state that McCul-
Tough had drank considerable. the day
before, and probably some the day Of
the crime. There was ill feeling be-
tween the two men, but Healey is
known in Park Rapids as a man who
never has sought trouble and was in
no position to defend himself whether
he was sober or not. Mccullough was
seen during the afternoon leading
Healy towards his home in the south
west part of town. Later in the day,
it is reported, Mccullough went to
Healy's home and called him out and
took him to his own home. There, it
is reported, he demanded of Healey
that he sign check on which the fig
ures had not been entered and this
Healey refused to do. Mccullough
then assaulted Healey and was heard
by neighbors to threaten Healey's life
if he did not sign the check. 'Healey
refused to sign the check, and was
knocked down by Mccullough and
beaten most horribly. Village Mar
shall Crook was notified of trouble at
the Mccullough home and went there
at once.
He found Healy lying on the floor
when he got there. He asked McCu!-
Tough if he had beaten Healey and
was told that he had bruised his face
in fall. Marshall Crook then took
Healey home. He was able to, walk
and could talk but would tell nothing
Of the things that had transpired.
When he reached home it was evident
that he was seriously hurt and later
he was taken to the hospital where an
examination revealed the seriousness,
of his condition. He died Friday from
the effects Of his INJURIES 49,

vene until December.
Mccullough was married about a
year ago, and at that time had two
children, boy about seven years old
and a girl about nine, who are left
without means of livelihood.
The funeral of Peter Healey was
held from the Congregational church
on Sunday. Rev. Fisher preached the
sermon and interment was made at
