Of Secretary Houston through the west.
He is coming principally for the pur

stock in the national forests and it is an

he will visit many of the ont of-the-way
places and avoid the larger cities. The.
local forest office has not yet received

this section will be included in his itin-.

for the option of labor at their annual
spring election in March is the ruling Of
the state legal department on inquiry
from the states attorney of Jeranld

road statute specifically provides for the
payment of road taxes in cash, hut
allows an exemption from this provision
by payment in labor "when the voters

PLAIN NEEDLEWORK.
BY HELEN HOWE.
A Serviceable Wrap.

Small boys and girls often find a
lightweight wrap necessary during the
warm weather. Those mothers who do
the family sewing will like to know OF
smart little model within their skill.
As mater of fact, the wrap is part
of whole dress when made for girls.

and girls. while il is, just as attractive

respectively. To this is added a
straight body. with pleats laid on from
the yoke. The coat closes down the
front with pearl buttons
The novelty lies in the placing of
the pockets II the wrap is for girl
a rather narrow, loose belt is passed
through straps and fastened in the
front The pockets are put on directly
over the pleats below the belt, of
course.
The coat for a boy is finished with
wide belt. neither tight fitting nor
loose. and the pockets. in envelope
s't3pe are Sewed down to it
The skirt with this model is pleated
al around from plain front panel
The suit seems TO be designed to take
the place OF the MILDLY blouse cos

number of narrow wash skirts such as
we're worn last summer lying by that

smart little wraps. Now that the skirts
are so much fuller, wearing the mar

why not finish out the wear of the

WAIST LINE PUZZLE OF NEW GOWNS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, May 12.-By the middle
of May the principal clothes questions.
that is to say the width and length of
skirts, the tightness and-looseness of
bodices, the type of sleeves and the
general silhouette, has usually been
decided.
Our burning curiosity on these points
is satisfied. and we settle down to the
task of adapting our personality to the
new lines, for no one seems to think
nowadays of adapting the new lines to
her own style.
We seem to find it too amusing to
look like an elusive nymph one year
and an oriental seductress the next
This spring, however. one important
point in Woman's dress still remains
unsettled. though the season grows
apace. and we daily petition the oracle
for light upon the subject. Where shall
we place the waist line? is the ques-
ton of the hour.
Perhaps like the allies, the designers
are delivering series of veiled at
tacks, which will develop later into
models which the leading houses have
sent over as their final expression of
the mode of 1915 for the San Francisco
exhibition show uncertainty on this
point.
All Lines Sanctioned.
The Josephine line. the normal and
the lowered waist, all seem to be sane
toned at once by the great arbiters of
dress. Who shall decide when doctors
disagree? Is it possible that we may
consult our own inclinations in this i'm
portant matter. and place our waist
line whore If SujtS hest

selves with vague little baSqueS and
bodices which have practically no
waist line anywhere.

favorite form of afternoon gowns IL

FURS ARE A PART OF
THE SUMMER WARDROBE

If you are going to the mountains or
the seashore this summer your ward
robe will not be complete without a
fur collar or scarf of some sort
Everybody who knows the lamp
chill that occasionally blows in from
the sea or the keen cold that sometimes
rolls up the mountain side welcomes
the fact that furs in summer are fash
ionable. For nothing but fur seems
ca pable of keeping these penetrating
brands Of chilliness from the bones.
Only the lighter furs are suitable for
summer wear-the furs lighter in ap-
pearance, not in taxture. Ermine, made
up without the black flecks of tails, is
one fashionable choice. And silver and
white fox are equally good.
Broad scarfs for the shoulders are
made of the ermine. The fox is not
suitable for broad. fiat scarfs. but the
whole skins are worn about the shoul-
ders and neck.

The two hounces at the bottom and
the plain top part are a different varia-
tion Of the popular ruffied skirt which
we see oftener as a tier effect Of three
or four frills one above the other.

ored tulle to make them. instead of

NEW APPEAL BY
PAPAL ENVOY
Calls on Emperor Francis Joseph to Use
Wisdom of Age to Secure
Lasting Peace.

Rome, Aug 20--On the occasion of
the Emperor Francis Joseph's s5th birth
day, a member Of the papala encourage
was sent to Vienna with a message urg-
ing him to further the interests of
peace, according to information from a
diplomatic source. Mgr. Scapinelli, nun
clio at Vienna, it is said, was instructed
to deliver the message in person.
While the nature of the message was
confidential, il is said that the pope
suggested to the emperor that God had
prolonged his days that he might use
the experience and wisdom of age to
bring about lasting peace.
The papal messenger to the nuncio is
said to have been Mgr. Sanzdesamper,
who is at present residing in Switzer-
land, whence the pope is able to com
municate with the central powers, direct
having been interrupted
owing to the war between Italy and
Austria.
