lies in the trimming. Two poppies,
made of the embroidery with millinery
stamens at the center, are posed ex-
actly on top. This is an audacious po-
sition. but warranted because Of the
excellence and beauty of the flowers.
One cannot get in the picture the
sheerness of the embroidery which
makes the blossoms look like delicate
ghosts of the flaming flower they copy.
The second hat, of the small poke
bonnet type, is made of allover en-
broidery and narrow val lace. The
frame is covered with blue crepe, and
this forms a facing. The upper brim
and crown are of the embroidery in an
open pattern. A frill of narrow val
lace finishes the edge, and there is a
collar and hanging ends of black vel
vet ribbon. Little clusters of pink
June roses and blue forget-me-nots are
set about the base of the crown. Moth
ing could be prettier, worn with the
midsummer frocks made of sheer
white cottons, or those that are gayiy
figured.

of black and white combinations give
one a wide choice whether the taste
is quiet or gay
The Worumbo sport coat shown
here is in black and white, cut on easy
and rather vague lines. It is drawn in
little by wide belt of the fabric at
the normal waist line. White silk
braid is used for binding the collar and
cuffs. Two large and very practical
pockets add definitely to the charac-
ter of the coat. The convertible collar
may be turned up about the throat and
buttoned to place.
The hat, of white corduroy velvet, is
trimmed with a band and cockade of
white ribbon. White gloves and
shoes, either Of kid or canvas, are in
keeping with the rest of the toilette
and complete midsummer garb that
is thing of beauty and Joy for all
outings.

The lingerie hat is made of fine,
sheer, cotton embroidery, lace or net,
and forms special kind of midsummer
millinery which reappears each year.
The same kinds of embroideries and
laces that are used for making lingerie
gowns or fine underwear are used in
the construction of this very elegant
millinery; hence the name by which
1t is designated
The lingerie hat has been in greatest
demand among those who require sew
eral hats for each season, and is one
of those types made for the "exclus-
i've trade"-that is. for those who can
afford to indulge a taste for special
millinery to suit special seasons. They
are by no means inexpensive; but it
lis the work required to make them,
rather than the materials used, that
makes them bring very good prices.

Ban Against Drinking.

Magistrate Harry Miller at Jamaica,
N. Y, sentenced Mrs. Margaret Askins
to eternal sobriety." She accepted the
life sentence with thanks and left the
court with her husband, whose plea
to the court won for her that sentence
instead of another.
Mrs. Askins, who Is thirty-three
years old, was charged with being an
improper guardian of her children.
Agent C. Harstedt of the Children's
society testified that the woman threat.
ened to kill her children and chased
her husband with carving knife.

Comment on Divorce Cases.
In the course of a divorce case in
which the husband admitted being a
bigamist, Supreme Court Justice Fred
erick E. Crane of Brooklyn delivered
a brief but cracking philippe against
American marriage and divorce condi-
tions.
Marriage is the cheapest thing un-
der our law" snapped the Justice
Marry one day and then come back in
court the following morning and get
divorced! Swapping wives and hus-
bands has become as common as swap
ping horses in our country. If we want
polygamy why don't we come out
bravely and establish it here?
'We judges, the supposed guardians
Of the law, are forced practically to
sit back and wink at felonies and
watch the offenders go free"
Perhaps 1 sometimes say too much
in court" Justice Crane added later In
his chamber, but he didn't smile when
he said it.

Tall, soldierly in appearance, quiet,
reserved almost to shyness, Constan-

for the failure of the Greeks In the
war with the Turks in 1897.
Until the war with Turkey he had
had little military experience aside
from participating in the annual
maneuvers of the German army. When
he saw his country drifting into war
with the Turks he opposed the move
ment, for he knew his people were ut
terly unprepared. The Greek infantry
were then armed with discarded
French rifles, bought at 50 each.

the death of four men.

had taken a number of photos of Wild
wood which were sent all over the
country and did much good. Mr..
Wright gave quite a lengthy talk on
bis visit to Chicago, where he attended
the Great Council of Red Men, stating
how he secured the convention of 1915
for Wild wood. The buttons he took
with him had on them a picture of a
bathing girl and beneath this attached
by q ribbon was a ''cricket" with the
slogan printed on the button 1--WE chirp

of the city booklets. He attributes his
success to the fact that he first interest
ed the ladies In Wildwood and placed
a booklet and a"chirper" at every plate
at the banquet table. He exhibited a
panorama view Of the Louisville, XIV,
business district taken from an areo-

here, and Wildwood won by a majority
of eight over Louisville. On the return

DISBURSEMENTS

The Committee on factory, Mr.. Hup-
pert, chairman, reported he had tried to
get several men together and give the
matter consideration but had failed and
therefore had since done nothing with
the project, and asked that the Conn.,
mittee be discharged and the matter
dropped. Mr.. Baker thought the COM
mittee should be continued, as some
thing might occur In the near future.
Mr.. Huppert expressed the thought
that no industry will come here unless
money is forth coming and Mr.. King
suggested more interest should be
shown. Mr.. Slaughter, on railroads,
said the Board should adopt a resolu-
ton asking the railroads to maintain
the same winter schedule this year as
they did last, as the present one was
bad. Mr.. Heinle moved that a COM
mittee of three be appointed to wait
upon the railroads asking for better
service. Mr.. Laning thought the
morning papers should be received here
before nine O'Clock, and that the c1m-
panies improve conditions around their
stations. Mr.. Baker, in referring back
to the statement of Mr.. Myers said,
there were seventeen different railroad
maps that made no mention of Wild
wood and suggested Messrs. Greaves
and Myers take the matter up. 1t was
suggested seats be placed along the
boardwalk where those who care to en-
joy the sun and at the same time be
protected from direct cold wind blasts
may do so. The secretary was in
structed to correspond with the COM
missioners on this matter. Mr.. Wright
read a letter from the Odd Fellows tx
cursion committee, Of which Mr..
Lafferty, of Camden, was chairman, in
which they state that Oscar Risley In
formed them that he represented the
Board of Trade of Wildwood, and
made them promises which subse-
quentIy have not been fulfilled and
they feel they have not been given q
square deal. The Board went on record
as saying they never gave Risley any
authority and regret to note the incl
dent. Accommodation was read from
the Chamber of Commerce of the cOun-
ty in which they state they will con-
vene here in October. Mr.. King
thought another get-together dinner
would be in order at this time as the
one in May prompted a good deal OF
good felIo w-ship. The following of
ficers were elected for the ensuing year:

THE NOTE TO GERMANY

TIME final note of President Wilson
to the German Government un-
questionably reflects the thought
of the American people as a whole.
We have been trifling too long with
a matter that is not subject for trifl-
ing. We are not accustomed to argue
when our national honor is at stake,
much less when 1t is a matter of life
and death with our citizens. The Bit
ter taste of the Lusitania murder is
still in our mouths. The slaughter of
women and children makes the blood
run hot. Yet, be it said to our credit
as a people, We stood calm under the
cowardly blow. We were unwilling to
believe that the government of a civ
ilized nation could be guilty of such a
violation of the laws of humanity.
Now we are convinced that the kaiser
and his warlords know no law but that
of might, that they are parcel or
bullies, fighting as only bullies fight,
and the President has spoken to them
in the only language they can under
stand.
But Dreacn OF the law as ldlu
down by President Wilson need not
lead to war. Germany is in no posi-
ton to invade England, let alone send
a fleet or an army to America, and
we have no army at hand for imme-
diate service. But a break in rela-
tions between the two countries will
result in turning every available wheel
in the United States to the service of
the allies and in taking away from
Germany the only international friend
ship worthy of the name that remains
to her. In any case the blow to Ger
many would far exceed any advantage
that has come to her by reason of the
submarine warfare that has led up to
the present crisis.
