Dress Hints.

When pressing tucks in crepe de
chine, thin silks and such materials be
sure to use tissue paper between it
and the iron. as scorching is easy.
Don't wear brilliant colors If you
have red hair and brightly colored
cheeks. You will look far better in
certain shades of brown, in navy blue
and In light colors for evening White
and black will also be good choices.
If buttons tear away on woolens, try
sewing them on with a small linen

Ben FrankIin's Chair.

In his old age Benjamin Franklin's
health failed him to considerable e1-
tent. He suffered from gout and the
stone, which, with complications,
eventually carried him OF. But he was
always exceedingly cheerful, even
when suffering, and, as one Of his
friends has recorded, "full Of anecdotes
and learning" Even at this time in
his life he added to the already exten-
sive list of his inventions, contriving
among other things a most curious
chair which, when desired, could be
converted into stepladder for the
purpose Of reaching the higher shelves
in a library. As far as known, only
one Of these chairs was ever actually
constructed for his own particular use,
and this is owned at present by the
Philosophical society Of Philadelphia.

Thaw's seventh attempt to gain his
freedom since his arrest nine years
ago this month for the murder OF
Stanford White, was begun here with
the selection of a jury to inquire as
to his sanity. If the jurors decide in
his favor Thaw will obtain permanent
release from the Matteawan insane
asylum, where he was incarcerated
after being acquitted of murder at his
second trial and from which he es-
capped in 1913.
The selection of the jury occupied
the entire session of the court, but it's
completion in one day was regarded
as rapid progress when compared with
the time 1t took to fill the jury box
on the two previous occasions on
which ThaW had faced jury
Among the states witnesses proba-

trials. Thaw said after the jury was
completed that he was entirely salts

More Than Two Million Austro-
Germans on Front.
CzAR'S FORCES ARE SEPARATED
German Advance Toward Lemberq
Continues and Russians Are Ex-
French Reclaim Lost Ground.

London, June 23.-With the heavy
guns of the Austro-G German allies
turned on Lemberg and within range,
the fall of the Galician capital is
looked for at any time confidently by
Vienna and Berlin, and with apparent
resignation by those observers in
London and Petrograd who have been
following closely the trend of events.
More than 100000 Austrians and
Germans have been operating along
the front, almost encircling Lemberg,
and, with the Russian withdrawal be-
hind the Brodek lines, the evacuation
of Lemberg as base was accom-
plished.
That the complete evacuation of
Lemberg without much resistance is
probable is indicated by Petrograd dis
patches declaring that such a move
ment cannot be avoided without
sacrifice of men out Of proportion to
the strategic Importance of the place."
TWO Russian Armies Separated.
Latest advices from Austrian head
quarters, describing the Russian re-
tirement, assert that the two Russian
armies, which for a long period were
fighting with an unbroken front, have
been separated and cannot effect a
junction on the Galician side of the
Russian frontier
The infantry attacks to the north of
Arras, France, have temporarily come
to an end, but there has been an artil-
lery action Of great violence in the
neighboorhood of souchez and Ecurie.
French artillery have located and
opened fire with their heavy batteries
on the German long-range gun, which
had thrown twenty-nine large shells
into the town of Dunkirk in the past
two days.
