Handmade laces of linen braid are
especially appropriate If the costume

This gown, made up as pictured here,
might easily be serviceable at other
seasons of the year, as voile and en-

year round.
It is worth noticing that the tunic
is quite full, but the fullness is not
increased by the addition of a ruff1e at
the bottom. This ruff1e 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 a similar plating joins it
to the tunic skirt.

THE last word in thin summer tot
! 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 emitting 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 girdIe of velvet
ribbon, and its 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
wolfe embroidered In disks on the
lower half OF the sleeves and about the
which is bloused only a little, is of

QUICK THINKING SAVED DAY
Too Small Boy Was Allotted Necessity
for Preserving Family Reputa-
ton, and He Did 1t.

At a banquet OF the ministers Of
New York, Doctor Johnston Of the
Morrisania church, told this story:
One Of the members of my church
has instilled into his family the belief
that the collection is a vitality impor-
tant part of the service.
Consequently his little boy Thomas
never comes to church without his
contribution.
''One Sunday, as the elders began to
take up the collection at the morning
service, Thomas looked along the pew
to see If the various members Of the
family were provided with a contribu-
ton.
Noticing guest of his sisters emp
ty-handed, he whispered:
81 Where is your money!
L have none,' was the reply.
Time was short and the necessity
great In a fash the little fellow met
the emergency by saying:
Here take mine. That'n pay for
you, and I'll get under the seat
And, hinging his own coin into her
lap, he disappeared under the pew,
where he remained until the elder had
gone by-and the reputation Of the
family was saved."-Popular Maya

Al IGHT DRESSES designed for sum-
II mer are made of the highest and
sheerest of batiste or nainsook or
cross-barred muslins, linen and cotton
lawns, and also Of wash silks and
crepe de chine. The latter and linen
lawns seem to be in highest favor at
this season
For decoration, welI-made French
or German val laces, cluny and shadow
laces hold sway. with hand embroid-
cry always the most elegant of all.
If fine hand embroidery is to be used,
linen lawn, crepe de chine, or very fine
batiste will make the work worth
while. Hand embroidery in simple de-
sign and neatly done is the most de-
sirable of all decorations for lingerie.
Durable Iaces in narrow insertions and
dainty edges are quite often used with
it. But the majority of hand-embroid-
cred garments have no further deco
ration than flower sprays of embroid-
cry and, all edges finished with but
tonholed scallops.
A gown of batiste is shown in the
picture cut in the simplest manner
possible. A plain kimono pattern does
away with armholes or separate
sleeves The round neck and short
sleeves are finished with buttonholed
scallops, and these are placed. in
stead of a hem, about the bottom. A
flower spray appears on each sleeve
and in the front of the garment.
Made with much less work and very
pretty is the gown shown In the sec
ond picture. The yoke and sleeves. in
one piece, are made of German val
lace insertion finished with edging.

tured to suggest that the Mexicans
were now prepared for a more liberal
form of government, and limited that
his rule was too severe.
