All Chicago Games to Start At 3 p. m.
Ladies' Day for Cubs.

already started to alter the rules and
regulations of the Murphy admins
tration.
Yesterday President Thomas an
nounced that the starting time of all
games would be put back to 8 p. M,
to conform with the hour set by the
White Sox. The Federals, too, will be-
gin afternoon hostilities at O'Clock,
making the time uniform for the
three leagues.
Another concession, startling to
those who have followed the policy of
the West Side dictatorship in the past,
will be the establishment of a ladies'
day once week, when all fannetteS
with escorts will be admitted free of
charge. The day has not been decid-
ed, but it will probably be Wednesday
or Thursday.
Red Corriden will make strenuous
efforts to get in the game on this day
and there is no danger that Heinie
Tim will be canned. Being Harvard
graduate, the German likes to per-
form in front of the fair Ito the home
team sex.
Last year the 2:3o hour for start
ing games did not work out to the
satisfaction of the fans or owners. 1t
was too early for hundreds to get
away from their work and had an eff
feet on the box Office receipts.
The only ball game played by
Chicago team yesterday was between
the GSox seconds and San Francisco,
the South Siders winning, to 1, in
II innings of light hitting and star
pitching. Scott and Royce heaved for
the Sox and both turned loose swell
brand of dazzle stuff.
BIackburne and Weayer, around
second base, worked like two cogs in
a well-oiled machine and made it al
most impossible for Callahan to
keep Russell out of the regular line
up.

White, With Broken Hand, Whips
AzeVedo Easily.

the best 1ightweights now doing bust
ness.
The local lad is not a champion,
and may never scale the ladder to the
top, but he stands shoulder to Shout
der with any of the fellows but Rit-
chic.
Literally with one hand White last
night licked Joe Azevedo in ten
rounds at Racine. In the first frame
Charlie cracked his right mitt, and
for the ensuing nine rounds he was
forced to do all of his walloping with
a left
But it was some left. WaspIike, the
good mitt piecced the Portuguese
gents defense and stung him vicious
ly.' White had his man continually
covering up and blood was flowing
freely.
White ability to do business with
the single mitt was uncanny. His
right came into play for defense, but
every blow was stuck on the end of
that lightning left.
His best round was the first, when
both his hands were in shape. Aze
vedo was rushed off his feet and could
not fathom Whites style. The only
round which went against the local
boy was the eighth. 80
On this mill White certainly bulges
to the front rank of the lightweights
and is probably the peer of any man
who can actually make 1873 pounds
and be in condition. to fight. 1t has
been long pull for him, as the critics
are slow to recognize home talent
But he has arrived.
The house was small and the purse
light. White is now. after another
crack at Jimmy Duffy in Buffalo.
Failing that, he may go to the coast
for a campaign before the McCarey
and Coffroth clubs, where there is
plenty of money to be had.

M1IADrs SUMMER LINGERIE.

With the advent of summer when every
sane woman discards silk tights and un-
dervests in favor Of combinations in fin
est gauze Isle thread finished about the
neck, the armholes, and the knees with
iacey-Iooking beading. for narrow ribbons.
the chief garments to be considered are
the underbodice. the petticoat, and the
nightrobe.
Underbodices, especially- are alluring
garments, for they are made either OF
crepe de chine trimmed with Valenciennes
lace or of all-over shadow lace with
broad ribbon shoulder straps. Both sorts
have little cap sleeves wholly Of all-over
lace.
Petticoats, leaving out the ones in ba-
tiste or Irish linen, which are worn only
under lingerie frocks and crowns, are
either in crepe de chine or In silk Jersey
webbing with messaline hounces. They
are gored to fit very snusly about the
hips and measure barely yard about
the ankles. Yet to step in them is easy,
since at both sides they are slit half way
to the knee.
The newest nightrobe ID made precisely
after the model of the Ldcille corset COW

The two straight-cut long widths are
scanned at the sides and Joined across the
shoulders with four-inch bands Of hand
or machine embroidery and Into the ex-

gathered cap-sleeves of embroidery ruff

NECKwEAR NOVELTIES.

For daytime wear there is nothing quite
SO smart-looking as the Gladstone collar
in sheerest linen. 1t is perfectly plain ex-
cepting for its sharply turned-back points,
which may be finely embroidered or pin
tucked in horizontal rows.
If you wish to have the prettiest thins
possible to hide the joining Of the col
lar on your shirt-blouse. hemstitch the
edges Of a yard long. .eight-inch wide
strip of scarlet. pale yellow, orange. blue,
green, or pink crepe de chine and knot
1t four-in-hand fashion, allowing the ends
to fall almost to the belt.
The most effective sort of scarf for use
with a white or black evening costume
is the one In fiame-colored chiffon finished
one long edge with row Of flame -colored
crystals and on the other edge with picot
silk braid in self tone. At both ends the
scarf is weighted with a fringe in flame
crystals. :

ORIENTAL CHAINS.

Among the novelties sure to appeal to
the feminine contingency are Oriental
chains and necklaces for wear with
Oriental effects In headdress a0d gown.
These chains are barbaric, but very ef-
fectfve and make charming gifts ranging
In price from 81 upward. One was Of pale
amber beads swung on a silk cord of the
same tone and a tassel: the round center
stone. about the size OF a quarter, is of
green jade. Another was a study in red,
the heart being a carnelian. and cord and
tassel Of the same hue.
Some Of these necklaces are very long
and have many quaint irregular beads
and lavalieres Of semi-preciouaio or arti-
ficially decorated kinds. One large ivory
moon nearly the size of a dollar is held
to the cord by netting of gold thread.
Nearly s;l have tassels or long pendants.
In jet these necklaces are also very ef-
fective. They come as dog collars or long
chains with large buckles and medaIlions
OF the cut jet. Hair ornaments and belt
buckles to correspond are having great
vogue.

The Road of Little kfndnesses.
A signpost said that he was on the
Road of Little Kindnesses, and while il
did not look very inviting to The Man
WHO had spent SO much time IN lofty
thought, prayer, land self-communion,
the thought Of the woman who had been
ragged and old and gray persisted in
his mind and he decided. to 90 on.
And truly he found the thoroughfare
a busy place. All the people he had
known when he decided to eliminate
from his life all things that did not make
for eternity were travelling that way.
And they were Just as he had known
them in the earlier years lpf his life,
each with his or her faults, and thor
oughly human fo1lies, but somehow they
had lost their former adherence in his
eyes.
Perhaps It was the transformation of
tie woman whose burden he had borne
who made il seem a beautiful thing to
see these perfectly ordinary people from
his one-time workaday life going down
the Road of Little Kindnesses helping
each other on their burden-bearing way.
Their companionship became sudden
ly very sweet to The Man, and so busy
did he become doing his share of the
burden-bearing that he forgot all about
the Road to Heaven. and the Goal for
many years, when 10, he lifted his eyes
one day and found himself quite at the
end of the Road of Little Kindnesses
(Which is a synonym of the Road to
Heaven), and just beyond lay the Goal
"a land where every loving, helpful
thought and deed The Man had ever
entertained, or done, had materialized
into flower of eternal beauty
And The Man was so happy that he
even forgot to be surprised.

YOUNG GIRLS MOURNING HAT.

The young girl still in the schoolroom
does not wear a mourning hat in all
black as was formerly the rule. Instead
she wears any of the new shapes in wire
covered with soft folds of white crepe de
chine and trimmed with a wreath of
white flowers mingled with black leaves.
The flowers are made of dead white silk
with stamens in black twist, and the
leaves are in black crepe stiffened with q
coating of ink-dyed bandolin.
On her black riding hat the young girl
who is in mourning wears band exactly
like the one worn by men on their street
hats, but IL her equestrienne costume.
when she was not in mourning. was In
some shade of tan or blue, she must dis
card it temporarily. as a mourning band
on colored riding hat is no longer con-
sidered correct for a woman.

How Jewels Should Be Worn.

Rubies belong exclusively to the bru.

Of their color-for man blonds lock exi

they are apt to be oyerpowering in their
effect when worn by women whose color

The blond will look well in sapphires

while the red-haired type Of blond win be
perfectly lovely in emeraids. or pearls. A
rule. this class has a milk-white skin,
which forms a delightful background for
a string of pearls, while there Is no stone

fiery red giints in the hair. Deck her In
turquoises and see how the red II inten-
sified and how commonplace she look,
compared with the result Of dressing hef
In emeralds. Diamonds and emeralds In
combination will be apt to suit this type
unless she Is actually coloriess. matte"
as the French call II. In that case dia-
monds alone will be the better choice.
The amethyst Is another stone that Il

Of the eyes to decide the choice in jewels.

evening frock of some soft. nilky-white

wearer's movements. her jewels emeralds.
while a brown-eyed red-haired woman
would be eosially lovely in the creepy
frock not backed with a color. her orna-
ments amcthysts or amethysts and pearls
combined.
The genuine blond can wear the tur-
quoise perhaps better than any other
stone. and when she is pale and very fair
the turquoise and diamond in combina-
ton will brighten and seem to give her
life
They should not, however. be used In
equal proportions. Only a small proper,
ton OF the diamonds should be attempted,
just enough to fill its mission. which is
to add life and sparkle. 1t must not be
aggressive. A pink-and-whiteo or q rosy
blond with pronounced golden hair should
choose pearls for the same reason as the
lifeless blond chose diamonds The pearls
will subdue exuberance of color just in
the same degree as the diamond intensi-

tempt to wear diamonds. but there is not
the same objection to the brunette wear
ing them should she possess dark skin.
provided 1t is also perfectly clear as well.
The brunette with clear olive skin can
wear diamonds with the greatest success.
