pin. For each card either four Sits
are made In the ribbon, or four strips
of baby ribbon the same shade as used
for the large piece are sewn on. IL
Sits are made, the cut parts must be
very carefully and neatly sewn or but

these, If not at hand, may be bought

The pieces of wood that hang out

These hangers will be found most
useful for bedrooms, sitting-rooms,

When the holder is made of velvet,
1t should be neatly finished round the
edges with fine cord and then hung
up by the same kind of cord.

Net Slips.

Summer attire makes all that is
worn underneath OF additional impor-
lance as TO cut and decoration.
The princess slip is worn by many
women in preference TO the separate
petticoat. The slips fit with kindly de-
ference 10 the lines of the figure and
are intended to take up as little room
as possible under the outer garments.
Net. either plain or figured, is de-
lightful for slips. There is a liking for
the sheer organdie. which fashions so
many of the new undergarments.
Whatever trimming is used on the
slips is applied fiat about the top and
in the form OF lace or net frill at the
hem.

Plerrot's Ruff.

Unless your wardrobe includes a
Pierrot's ruff II is not quite In the front
rank of fashion. OF course, you are
familiar with the Pierrot ruff of the
dramatic world, but that OF the smart
world is several inches broader and
considerably more frilly. In fact, IL is
so exaggeratedly large that 1t frames
the face and hair, making most be-
coming soft halo for them. You may

GARDEN PARTY FR0CK
DESIGN THAT MIGHT BE COPIED
WITH GOOD RESULTS.
Most Expensive Garment In the Orig

Evening Gown.

Here Is typical garden party frCck
for 1914. 1t was designed for a gar
den party and worn at one OF the fas-
cinating rural spots outside of Paris,
and was a really delicious combination
OF white taffeta and chiffon, blue rib
bons and small French rosebuds,
writes Lillian r. Young in the Wash
ington Star. There is no reason why,
II one wishes TO economic, II might
not be developed ia much less expen-
sive materials. Cotton wolfe or mar
quinette, for instance, would take the
same trimmings beautifully.
There was knee-length skirt foun-
dalton OF white China silk, with the
remainder OF the skirt length com.
pleted in white taffeta, and over the
China silk top were hung the two
tunic nounces of chiffon, scalloped
about their lower edges and bound
with white taffeta. A very new and
charming method OF trimming these
fiounces was employed, for the small
French rosebuds were caught in scat
tered irregularity on the right side,
above the edge, while a bowknot de-
sign In light blue ribbon was applied
to the wrong side and showed through
the chiffon.
The bodice was decidedly simple of
line, and, like the tunic fiounces, was
made of chiffon. Elbow-length kimono
sleeves were finished with double chit
fon ruffiing and row of the small
pink roses. The V-neck had more
ruffling as a finish and either side of
the blouse had one scallop above the

FASHIONS FOR THE CHILDREN
Designers Have BY No Means over
looked the Little Ones-Choice
OF Materials is Extensive.

Many of the children's dresses are
made in MILDLY style, laced up the
front and finished with sailor collar.
Others are In Norfolk style, and still
others In bolero effect. The Russian
dress and Oliver Twist dress are In
high favor. In two-piece dresses the
waist is usually OF one fabric and the
skirt OF another. Plaids. checks and
stripes combined with plain fabrics are
we'll liked. Besides serges, gabardines,
checks, stripes and novelty worsteds,
wash fabrics, such as ginghams, per-
Gales, chambrays, linens, crepes and
other heavy cottons are used.

Formerly all that was necessary in
regard to child's coat was that II

terial and fit well. but now ii must be
strictly up-to-date in style. Coat styles
for women and children are closely
related. This season. for instance, the
cape effect, so popular in women's gar

DROWNING
Story of the Big Flood at Peru, Ind,
Last Year.

Chicago, July 3.-"Did you ever
hear the terroriZed trumpeting of a
herd of drowning elephants asked
w. j. Williams of Peru, Ind. IF you
never heard the piteous cries of dy-
ing beasts, you have escaped one of
the most heartrending experiences
that ever ome to civilized man,
was in Peru during the flood OF 1913,
when the Wabash river rose to un-
known heights, causing tremendous
destruction of property. Peru is the
winter quarters of the Wallace d
Hagenbaek circus, and when it was
found that the water was coming
higher than had W. been known
before, the fourteen elephants in the
circus were unclaimed and let go TO
take care of themselves. Three of
them managed to reach a small
mound, where they stood in the wa
ter with their trunks elevated till
the end of the flood. but the other
eleven were drowned.
with the water rushing through
the streets, and the people of the city
marooned in the second stories of the
houses, the elephants swan around
for hours, trumpeting in terror and
sticking their trunks into the open
windows Of the houses in their eff
forts to find some spot of safety.
They cried like children and one
could almost understand their Ian
guage as they pleaded for the help
which could not be given them. for
not one of them could be taken in
Il.n..~I N door mr. xnindnu mt nf Tho
flood. They acted more like human
beings than beasts and 1t was almost
as pitiful to see them go down under
the muddy waters, one by one, as 1t
was to see a human being washed
from a roof.
II shall never forget their dying
cries as they sought the safety which
could not be found in that fiat coun-
| try. where the whole surface of the
| earth was submerged.
Back in the big circus menagerie,
| however, there was even a more
tragic scene. When the water came
up into the cages of the animals they
all became frantic with fear.
Lions and tigers roared and dash
| ed themselves against the bars Of
| their cages till 1t was feared they
would escape and swim to places OF
human refuge, where they would de-
| stroy many lives.
Iron bars were bent by the beasts
in their fury and as the water rose
| higher their terror and their strength
| increased. When it was seen that
nothing could be lone and that lives
| of persons in the city We're being en-
| %dangered, the manager of the menag-
| erie went from cage to cage with a
| rifle and shot one after another of
| the monarchs of the jungle till all
were dead. 1t cost the circus a for
! tune. but many human lives were
saved"

| started from here for the purpose of
| attending the closing exercises of the
| Sisters school at Lake City, Mimi,
where his daughter. Maggie, is a stu
dent, but upon his arrival at Mime
| apolis he found railroad traffic in
such confusion that he decided it
best to return home before the tie-up
became complete. Mr.. Callinan re-
ports intense excitement among the
railroad men in the Twin cities. Not
a single freight train has arrived nor
departed from Minneapolis since Sat
lrday night. Hundreds of railroad
men are c~ongregated around the
Yards while officials, superintendent,
etc, are doing the work absolutely
necessary. Mr.. Callinan thinks the
end is not yet and that the men are
becoming more determined every
hour.
