NOTHING more unusual than our
w old and honored friend in straw,
the leghorn Eat, is employed in max
Ing this piece OF real millinery, In
which exquisite design is matched
with exquisite workmanship.
An unusually clever milliner might
evolve almost an exact copy of this
hat from one OF those fine old-fash-
Toned leghorn flats" which we have al
ways known. She would have to sub
stitute caplike crown OF rice net or
buckramette Cor the original crown,
cut away an inch and half from the
edge, and use the cutaway strip for
bordering the underbrim and mount
to brim on the crown with the re-
CURED extra headsize net cut out at
the front and right side.
Preparing shape in this way is
not an easy matter, but the shape once
obtained Is easy enough to trina In
asmuch as the upper brim and the top
crown are coveredswith lace this is an
excellent model to- choose for making
over Fiat" Of leghorn that has be-
come discolorsd g sunburned.

"a tween themselves the distinction
Of being the most elegant of colors
for an afternoon gown. and therefore
they form the choice Of majority Of
women who find one really good Wis

A STUNNING afternoon gown is shown
here from French designer who
keeps to conservative and refined
styles, It Is cleverly planned to add
the effect of slenderness and height
to the figure. The waist line at the
back is normal and downward dip
of the belt at the front makes the
waist look small.
The drapery in the skirt is PLACED
very low and the material hangs with
out f1lness over the hips. All the
sharp curves which characterize the
stout figure are softened in this model.
The two graduated and shaped
hounces are splendidly effective for
this purpose and also take the place
Of the much-admired tunic.
The bodice is slightly bloused and
very plain. as It should be to carry

Forehanded neetIes.

Several farmers were sitting around
the fire In the country inn and telling
how the potato pests had got into
their crops. Said one:
Them pests ate my whole crop in
two weeks
Then another spoke up:
They ate my crop in two days and
then sat around on the trees and
waited for me to plant more"

c. DOWELL FOR CONGRESS.

The Hon. G. G. Dowell and his
friends are making one Of the best
and cleanest campaigns have ever
known to be made In lows. Mr..
Dowell is a likeable man and is popu-
lar in this city. He made such an ex-
cellent record in the lower. house. and
then served nine years in the stats
senate with such distinction that he
is well known as successful legisla-
tor. He was chairman Of the judici-
ary committee in the senate for eight
years, wonderful record, as men
who serve in the senate know, and
there was so much progressive, con-
structive legislation that bore his inn
press as to make it notable. He
ought to be nominated for congress
and is going to be. There are SO
many republican voters in this dis
trict who feel that G. G.. Dowell is
entitled to the nomination and who
know that he is so we'll equipped for
it that he is getting strong support
in every county and from all factions.
In fact the hopeful sign as to his can
didacy is that no factional lines are
creeping in. He is republican can
didat& He is true republican and
has been active in doing SO many
helpful things for the state, has been
instrumental in getting through SO
much good legislation that the repub-
licans who know of that say he
ought to be in congress from this
Seventh district. The press Of the
district reflects the general feeling
and list Of the newspapers that are
actively supporting him shows that
he, must easily be the leading candi-#
date. No man could have the loyal
newspaper support, that Mr. Dowell !.
is getting unless he was, in large
measure, the choice qof the People
That much is assured. He will get
out in the outside counties and meet
the voters just as fast as he car can. II
is impossible, under the primary sys-
tenn, to meet all the voters, but he
will meet just as many CT tG,,m IS
he possibly can get 10. d,
j. C. G. Dowell is an excellent sEeai---..
er. A man of such c,ear-cus conv:c-
tions, of such upright chaiac syr 81 "a !
such a kindly way that he res VIII
the masses. A man who has made
his own way in the world by hard
work, q man who is entitled to tie
confidence of the people because Ct
his personal worth. He is just nov
in the prime Of life, has good ne alta
and is constant worker. A man Of
broad views, one who is tolerant, one
who is loyal to his convictions and.
to his friends. A man that when re-
knows he is right is not to be swayed.
by any clamor, man that the repub-
licans Of this district can safely non1i--
nate and elect to congress. That
they are going to do it is the convic-
ton Of his friends, and they are in
close touch with the conditions over
the district. -Des Moines Letter TO
