Summer or winter, the play and
school frocks of the very small girl
are made of materials that can be
washed. Durable linen in the natural
or in gay colors, wash flannel, pique,
Bingham, chambray, kindergarten
cloth. all present themselves to the
hand of the seamstress, in, plain plaid
and striped designs. Very little trim
ming is used and little girls frocks
must depend for their style on color
cut and combinations of plaid or
striped with plain material.
But If good taste prohibits much
trimming on the clothes of the little
miss it encourages a bit of pretty
needlework and oddities in cut. So
long as the designer does not depart
from simplicity or unbroken lines she
may indulge her fancy for unusual
shaped yokes, sleeves and yoke in one,
and quaint effects in finishing touches.
The two little frocks pictured here
are of the everyday sort that mothers
are making up in heavy linens and
other wash fabrics. In them the little
girl may romp along with her broth
ers; they are designed for much wear

Christian Epic In Stone.

Just back of the line of battle In AL

another Of the marvellous, most worth
while works of civilization stands ex-
posed to the varying chances of bat
tie. This is the beautiful cathedral of
Strassburg, an architectural glory
which makes mock of modern salts
faction at the expense of earlier CEN
turtles. The enormous old minister,
famed wherever Joy in the ideal is felt,
one of the choicest Gothic visions
ever dreamed by master mason, Is
memory of ages when art was more
passion and religion. and less a
means for preference and daily bread.
Strassburg cathedral Is a Christian
epic In stone. Exquisite in proportion
and detail, it rises, great pile, out
Of the surrounding city. The spire of
the minister is a masterpiece, excelled
by no other steeple and equaled by
but few. After finishing the one spire,
builders never attempted to construct
the proposed companion to it. Strass-
burg differs from other German ca
.thedrals in that 1t possesses a greater
width in proportion to its height. The
building was begun in 1176.

In the displays of new millinery that
are of paramount interest just now
women complain that the great variety
in style and design in new hats is be-
wildering. There are SO many shapes
to choose from! Shall the hat be
made of velvet or hatter's plush or
felt or velour or fur or selected from
among the innumerable combinations
of these and other fabrics? What is
the wisest choice in season not doni-
mated by a few styles?
Such season leaves the individual
to her own resources in making a
choice But it affords her a chance to
exercise fine judgment in suiting her
millinery to her own particular type.
There are few freakish styles, in spite
of this wonderful variety in hats, and
there is a hat for every face.
One cannot go wrong in choosing
velvet or any of the materials men,
toned. Colors are dark and rich, and
trimmings correspond. Metallic laces
and braids, elaborate beadwork, silk
and velvet flowers (and those covered
with tinseD, ribbons of high luster, and
rich ostrich plumes, are set off by the
hats of beautiful and sedate colors
that form the best of backgrounds for
them. Fur and the most elaborate and
carefully made fancy feathers, or the
peculiar new cut steel ornaments pro-
vide many novelties in the way of

IN CANNING SEASON
SECRET OF SUCCESS IN PUTTING
UP" SUPPLIES.
Absolute Sterilization Must Be OBJ
tained-Best and Easiest Methods
of Getting the Best Results
From Fruit That Is Used.

II anybody appreciates the kindness
of Mother Nature it is the practical
housekeeper. This is especially true
in summertime when by her. bountiful
store of fruits and vegetables she in
creases the housekeeper's store at lit
tie cost and contributes much to re-
duce her labor
There are several methods of can
ming, and the secret of success in each
is absolute sterilization. The best
and easiest methods of canning are
cooking the fruits in jars in an oven;
cooking the fruits in jars in steamer
or in boiling water, and stewing the
fruit before it is put into the jars.
Glass is the most satisfactory jar to
use in canning. Glass jars are becom-
ing so universally in favor that they
are taking the place of tin cans for
everything; even for tomatoes. They
are more economical than tin, for al
though the glass costs more in the be-
ginning, 1t lasts and can be used over
and over again. While there are many
kinds of Jars, the preference should
usually be given to those with wide
mouths. In canning fruits or jelly
It is important that the fruits or ber-
ries should not be over-ripe. Fruit
for canning should be fresh, solid and
not over-ripe. If over-ripe some OF
the spores may survive the boiling
and fermentation takes place In a
short time. In preparing the fruit
remove all stems, then peel with a
silver knife, core or remove the seeds
or pits as the case may be- Peaches,
pears or apples may be kept from dis
coloring if they are dropped as they
are pared into cold water to which a
little vinegar or lemon Juice may be
added
Canned Pears.-Twenty-four Bartlett
pears, eight cupfuls water, two cup
fuls sugar.
Bartlett pears are the best for can
ming. Put the water and sugar into
a preserving kettle. Let the strip come
to boiling point and skim off the froth
if any rises. While the strip is heat
ing carefully halve, peel and core the
pears, being careful not to. use those
that are over-ripe or imperfectly
shaped.
Drop pieces into a basin of cold
water until all are pared. Put the
halved pears into the boiling sirup,
but do not stir. Take large roasting
pan with handles and place in it as
many sterilized canning jars as it will
hold. Pour some tepid water in the
pan to a depth of about two inches,
and place the pan on the side of the
stove. The water will get hot and keep
the jars warm. Sterilize the rubber
rings and covers. By this time the
fruit will be boiling. When the pears
commence to lose their hard whiteness
they are ready to take off. Lift out
pieces separately with spoon and put
them into the hot jars. Fill jars and
cover with the strip; fill even with
the top, put the rings and covers on
and screw tight.

bay Is the town of Samana and at the
head is Sanchez, connected with the
interior by the Sanchez & Moca rail
way, a Scotch enterprise, for dis
lance of 40 miles.
San Pedro de Macoris is the sugar
port of the republic. In and around
Macoris there are thousands Of
acres of land devoted to the raising
of sugar cane, and millions of dollars
of American capital are invested in
this enterprise. The plantations are
all equipped with the most modern
machinery, and the cane is cultivated
and gathered by colored laborers from
the English and Danish West Indies.
Relics In the Capital.
Seventy miles from La Romano and
40 miles from Macoris is Santo Do
mingo City, the capital OF the repub-
lie. In Santo Domingo we find our
selves in the midst of modern civiliza-
ton, surrounded by innumerable relics
that carry us back to the fifteenth
century. Here can be seen the ruins
of the first church, San Nicolas,
built some time in the early part of
1900, and three or four years ago the
mahogany taken from these ruins
was in a perfect state of preservation.
Here, as claimed by the Dominicans,
can be seen the bones of Christopher
Columbus, left by mistake by the
Spaniards when they evacuated the
island, and who removed from the
crypt in the cathedral to Havana the
remains Of brother of Columbus,
thinking they were taking the bones
of the great discoverer.
The ruins of the house of Diego Co
lon, the son Of Christopher, are
still standing, where, according to

Believe OIL shlr Sunk.

Great quantities of floating oil have
been coming into st. Andrews bay, and
for more than ten miles deposits of
oil were made along the coast. 1t is
not petrol, but thicker oil, and has
caused no little Inconvenience to bath
ers. The worst sufferers are sea birds,
scores of which had their feathers so
clogged with oil as to render them
helpless. Large numbers of both old
and young birds have been driven
ashore dead, while many others, alive,
but unable to move, lie on the beach.
The theory propounded is that an oil
ship has been sunk not far off.-Mon-
treal Herald.

German ingenuity.

The German engineering corps has
been successful in many instances in
their efforts to build bridges when
faced by strong fire Of small guns.
In war 1t was found that bridge build
ing was difficult except under cover Of
darkness, because the builders were
always in the open and subject to the
fire of the enemy on the rivers farther
bank. The German officers by the use
Of new waterproof suit with a life
preserver about its middle were able
to send men into the water. The men
pushed a floating bulwark of boards
and steel before them. Under cover
Of this protection they padded about
and built the bridge.

trimmings, unlike any that have gone
before.
Three of the new patterns are
shown in the group pictured here. The
small hat at the top has a coronet of
velvet which is wide at the back but
narrowed to a small upturned brim at
the front. A brilliant corded silk COW
ers the crown and the inside of the
coronet, forming a binding about the
edge of the hat. Two smart, upstand-
ing plumes at the back, taken with
the shape of the hat, suggest a mill
tary mode
At the left -brimmed hat with
soft crown is made of velvet. The
brim is curved in gentle and grace
full lines. A metallic braid and a large
flower, which looks like the ARREST of
filigree, make up the simple and very
effective trimming

velvet shows another of the pictur-
esque wide-brimmed models. In this

turDeu the economic and COM
mercial situation in practically
every civilized country in the
world is a fact well known to
everyone at all conversant with
international trade conditions. Natu-
rally the republics of the western
hemisphere are no exception. Every
one of them has felt the disastrous eff
fects, but not in equal nor even in
proportionately equal measure. Nearly
all of them have experienced large
diminution in their export trade, and
consequently decrease in purchasing
power and q resultant diminution in
their imports. One remarkable ex-
ception is the Dominican Republic,
says the Bulletin of the Pan-American
union. That little country enjoys the
distinction of having sold more of
its products, In point of value, to the
outside world during the year 1914
than it did during 1918. The In
creased value of it's exports was only
$11S,S40, but that it should have in
creased its sales at all is an astound-
ing fact. It's purchases from other ma
lions during the year we're consider
ably less, but the net result is that
the country has made a material
financial gain.
The Dominican Republic is one of
the smallest of the American repub-
lies, with an area of about 1925
square miles. This is nearly equal
to the combined areas of New Hamp-
shire and Vermont. 1t has popula-
ton of between six and seven hundred
thousand inhabitants. Haiti is the
adjoining republic and the two to-
gether comprise the island called by

history, court was established
whose entertainments rivaled in
splendor those we read of in the
Arabian Nights. On the bank of the
river still stands the massive ceiba
tree to which were tied the caravels
of Columbus. In Santo Domingo City
Columbus was put in chains and sent
home to Spain prisoner in disgrace.
The city is built on the west bank
of the Ozama river and is under the
administration of the department of
public works. A magnificent macadam
boulevard, bordered on either side
with native elms, interspersed with
tropical foliage, extends from the Gen.
ter OF the city for 20 miles in the d.
rection of Bani, the birthplace of the
famous Cuban hero, Maxine Gomez.
On this same boulevard can be seen
the well-preserved ruins of the Fort
San Geronimo, which in early days
withstood an attack of the English
under Drake. The entrance from the
town to this boulevard is through an
arch constructed by the government
in memory of those who fell fighting
for the independence of the country,
and the arch bears the inscription
"Dulce ct Decorum est pro Patria
Mori.'
Life at the capital. while not as fast
and gay as at the larger cities OF
the South, is still very agreeable.
There are two well-equipped and con-
Quoted clubs, Club Union and Casino
de la Juventud, where there are fire.
quent social entertainments. Auto.
mobiles are plentiful and the ride
from the capital to San Cristobal
along the new macadam boulevard is
most attractive. Automobiles can be
procured for 81 an hour. There are
several hotels in the city. of which
the Hotel Francis is the best known.
There is quite large foreign colony
at the capital and in Macoris and
Puerto Plata. The whole trip from
New York. including a stop at all
ports. is about eight or nine days.
:. A very erroneous impression pre-
walls that the climate of Santo Do
mingo is unhealthy. From it's geo.
graphical position it cannot be un-
healthy. The winds have a clean
sweep across the island. and there has
been no serious epidemic there since
the cholera outbreak some time in tho
early sixties.

Cat Sports a Glass Eye.

Several months ago Bill, an orange
Persian cat belonging to Royal T. Gill
lett, lost his right eye during the
course of a nocturnal prowl. The
seemingly irreparable loss worried
both cat and master. the cat losing its
spirit and thus depreciating in value.
Gil1ett began to figure that he would
be forced to kill the animal, when a
friend suggested that he replace the
lost optic with one of glass.
Gillett acted on the suggestion and

the first Spanish discoveries "Isla Es-
pamela" and now sometimes called
"Santo Domingo" and sometimes
Haiti" Within the limits of what is
now the territory of the Dominican
Republic was located by Columbus the
first settlement of Europeans in the
new world. This settlement was
called isabella" after the queen of
CASTLE, the friend and patroness of
Columbus. The first Spanish settle
ment. like jamestown, the first Eng
lish settlement, no longer exists ex-
cept as a ruin. In fact, Isabella"
disappeared few years after its
foundation. The modern city of Puer-
to Plata is located near the former site
of the old settlement. The oldest ex-
listing settlement of Europeans in the
western world is likewise located in
the Dominican Republic. This is the
capital city. Santo Domingo.
One of Worlds Richest Spots.
The Dominican Republic, in fact
the whole island, is naturally one of
the richest spots in the world. The
soil is remarkably fertile and pro-
duces luxuriously. On the north
coast, in the province of Monte Cristi,
near the Haitian border, the soil is
we'll adapted for cotton raising. and
there is a very considerable acreage
devoted to this industry, backed by
American and English capitalists. The
cotton is of fine quality. and the
yield per acre is much greater than
that in cur southern states.
Puerto Plata, an important port of
the north, is town OF some 10000 or
10000 inhabitants, connected by a
railway, running south. with the
towns of the fertile Caibo region
Santiago de los caballeros, La Vega,
and Moca. These towns are located
in the great agricultural regions of
the republic. where the famous cacao
bean is cultivated. Tobacco also is
grown to considerable extent, and
has had until recently a ready market
in Hamburg. Other ports of impor-
lance are SANTANA and Sanchez, in the
beautiful SANTANA bay. This bay is
famous for its size and picturesque
scenery. 1t is about 25 miles long by
miles wide. with a depth of
water sufficient to float the largest bat
