= ARLY as it is, there are all sorts
of rumors abroad as to how the
coming season is to be met and
what will and will not be worn. To
the average woman, most of these are
lacking in interest just now, since the
present is the pressing need and we
have had such a remarkably cool
season that summer seems only be-
ginning. Nevertheless, the tendency
toward the use of embroidery, both
with thread and with beads is worthy
of mention. There are long hours OF
leisure ahead at the summer resorts
and piazza work will be in demand.
The very latest costumes that have
been imported show embroideries used
in most interesting ways and great
many trimmings of net and chiffon
embroidered with beads to make both
landings and edges and since the
beads can be applied over any design
intended for braid or for simple en-
broidery, it is quite easy to do the
work ourselves and the hint may
therefore be worth bearing in mind.
An exceedingly smart costume that
gives hint of the future is made with
skirt of taffeta and yoke of chiffon
cloth, and over the connecting seams
is embroidery of big, fiat conventional
flowers and leaves, executed entirely
in long and short stitch in chenille
threads. An exceedingly handsome
blue taffeta costume that has recently
been imported shows the jacket fronts
and the sleeves embroidered with
iridescent beads and these bead en-
broideries and bead trimmings unques-
tionably will make feature of the late
summer and of the autumn. Not alone
small beads, but combinations OF small
beads with bigger beads are shown and
in fact beads used in every way to give
attractive results.
The tendency toward using up
holstery materials for sports coats and
sports costumes seems ever to bring
fresh developments. The latest is to
be found in skirts made Of genuine
awning cloth and incongruous as that
at first thought appears, the result has
many advantages. The material is
durable and it can be found in quiet
and most attractive colorings and it
will withstand the hardest usage and
worn with a white blouse and severe
belt of leather, it has certain smart
ness Of its own. ..-... a.
The lowered cretonnes have been
mentioned in earlier letters. One OF
the newer materials is lowered linen
which is even handsomer for the pur-
pose and is constantly growing in favor.

TSHE late summer is extremely apt
to bring demand for new cos
tunes and shrewd women are

TINE late summer is extremely apt
to bring demand for new cos
tunes and shrewd women are
always on the outlook for designs that
can be carried over to the coming
season. Here are some new models
that will be found perfectly satisfac-
tory. They are admirable in cut and
in style and they show the very latest
developments Of fashion. College
women will perhaps be especially inter-
ested since August is the month during
which they are sure to be making
ready for the return to the winters
work, but whether the gowns and
frocks are wanted for one purpose or
for another, these designs will be found
satisfactory. .....
The Empire dress at the extreme
left is designed for young girls and for
the small women of girlish figures 1t
is a very charming model with the
very latest features found in the bell
shaped sleeves and under sleeves and
in the yoke and girdle that stands
away from the figure to give sugges-
ton Of the bolero idea. In the picture,
it is made of lowered taffeta, but the
design is quite appropriate for any
material that is thin enough and soft
enough to be gathered successfully and
there are numberless silks, voiles and
cottons that supply that need. Wool
wolfe and etamine are to be worn
throughout the autumn-either one
would be pretty made in this way.
while taffeta also is charming.
The gown with the scalloped edges
gives evidence of that favorite trim
ming and also of the favor in which
the circular flounce is being held. Seal
lops bound with braid or with bias
strips Of material are exceedingly
smart and will continue to be so and
the circular skirt with the circular
founce is one of the latest and best
liked models. The bodice is made
with the slightly raised waistline and
with a circular peplum that gives be-
coming fare over the hips. There is
plain lining or body portion to which
the sleeves are attached and the over
blouse is made sleeveless with the arm
hole edges bound. As will readily be
seen, two materials can be used as
we'll as one and if something thinner
is liked, it would be pretty to make the
sleeves of net, chiffon or voile while
the overbodice and the skirt are Of
silk or of crepe. One-piece gowns or
those with the bodice and skirt joined
by means of belt are to make i'm
portant features of the latest fashions.
The two remaining women's figures
show new and interesting designs. The
belted gown is made with plated
skirt joined to perfectly loose blouse
and this blouse is held in place by
means of the belt.

POPULAR DESIGNS FOR CHILDREN

T IERE is one Of the smartest little
frocks that can be found. yet
it is absolutely simple and
practical one, for the blouse and skirt
each are finished with belt and the
two are buttoned together. AS re-
suit, they are easily separated when
cleansing is required and the two gar
ments are of course easier to handle
than an entire frock would be. 1t is
a very easy garment to make, too, tor

LATEST FASHION NOTES
from the FASHION CENTRES

terials belong to the younger conc
tingent. but they undoubtedly make
a certain picturesque effect over white
costumes. One of the prettiest that
has appeared is made of linen in al
pompadour design in hip length very
full and faring and is finished with
black velvet belt and velvet collar and
cuffs.
Women who are real lovers Of the
sea and its exercise are accepting the
swimming costumes Of glove silk with.
more or less enthusiasm. They are
exceedingly light in weight and they
allow perfect freedom for action and
they really are ideal. As matter Of
course, they are designed to be
worn in the water, not when lolling on
the beach, and are admirable for their
own use. With them are shown ek-
ceedingly attractive and graceful wraps
or coats Of striped ratine with collars
and cuffs in plain color and OF various
lengths that are practical and at
tractive and altogether to be desired.
The material is utterly unframed by
the water and they can be slipped on
and off with the greatest ease. The
contrast between the swimming cos
tune with its perfect severity and
simplicity, even when combined with
handsome materials and with well
fitting hosiery and shoes. and the
elaborate costume that one can never
think of beyond the line of the foam,
is indeed marked one, but contrasts
go long way toward making up the
picturesque feature OF life and there
is no need to cavil thereat. The
woman who appeared at fashionable
summer resort wearing an ideal sport
ing costume and was followed by
porter bearing all the correct golf
sticks and equipment, creating an
impression of genuine lover of sport
and who appeared upon the beach
the next morning in an elaborate tat
feta suit with haring ruffled skirt and
much betrimmed, while she ran UP
and down the hard sand knocking
golf ball about, is not without her
prototypes. The picture is real one.
however absurd it may seem.
Since the appearance Of glove silk
or Jersey silk in the piece to be pur-
chased by the yard, it has been put
to a variety of uses. A new and an
interesting one is the making OF simple
blouses, plain, quite untrimmed, OF the
sort that can be worn with the collar
buttoned up closely or rolled open, and
among the output is to be found a
variety Of colors-American Beauty
red, soldiers blue and violet with
facings of white being favorites.

on over the head. Here, the material
is white galatea with plaid gingham
and the plaids of the season are show
ing such lovely colors that the combina-
ton is an especially attractive one, but
children are wearing great many dit
ferent materials this season and simple
as this design is, it allows of generous
variation. Color with white, either
blue or rose color or the fashionable
buff, would be charming or striped ma
terial could be used in place of the
plaid or plaid or check could be used
for the blouse with plain color for
the skirt and trimming

especially desirable. The MILDLY blouse
is made with the regulation opening
and drawn on over the head, When it
is belted, there are openings cut in the
blouse, the edges of which are bound
to make them strong and the belt is
slipped through these openings, but
the garment can Of course be finished
without the belt and be allowed to
hang straight and free. Galatea is
good material for such a garment.

TRULY is the summer the young
folks own season. 1t means
many happy hours, freedom
ON school and altogether time OF
taxation and of pleasure. In the
group are shown attractive costumes
that will fill their various needs. There
are rompers in which the smaller chill
dren will be perfectly happy and there
is dainty frock that the little girls
will like to wear for lawn parties and
the like with a charming bolero cos
tune for the older sisters that is
adapted to almost any afternoon
function. The little girls dress SOFA
is one of the simplest and most charm
ing that could be devised. 1t is made
with a straight skirt Of flouncing and
with a very pretty shirred girdle with
shoulder straps of ribbon and is worn
over a plain separate guimpe. 1t is
dainty, it is attractive, dressy in effect,
yet is absolutely simple and child-like.
1t can be made with high neck and
with long sleeves, but few mothers
will care for that finish during the
warm weather season.
The rompers are new ones, are closed
right down the front and consequently
are easy for the child to adjust. The
fall at the back is attached to the belt
and so is easily buttoned into place.
There is separate shield that can be
worn or omitted as liked and the sleeves
can be made longer or shorter. In one
view, the boomers are drawn in by
means of elastic at the knees and in the
other, they are left free and each finish
is quite correct. Galatea, ginghams
and simple linens are the materials that
are most used for rompers and on the
figure, blue and white striped galatea is
trimmed with white. For the 4 year
size will be needed 81 yds. Of material
~ in. wide, AZ yds. SO. I yds. with
u I'd. 81. for the trimming.

MOULD anything be more attract
I i've than this little frocks 1t IS
made of rose colored linen EN-.
broidered with white. Here, it is worn
over guimpe of white batiste that
is closed at the front, but any guimpe
or any blouse can be worn beneath,
consequently besides being smart and
new, the design means real economy
for every mother knows that blouses
and guimpes are all apt to wear under
the arms while they are perfectly good
in other places, and mended, they can
be worn beneath this dress to be just
as serviceable as though new. The
box-plaits provide straight and be-
coming lines and also fullness and flare
to the skirt, since they are pressed to
position only below the belt. The
opening at the neck is large enough
to allow of slipping the dress on over
the head, consequently it is the easiest
garment in the world to make. =

DISCUSS CREDIT
 OF RAILROADS

Chicago, March 1.-The credit of rail- roads as reflected in their ability to obtain new capital was discussed be- fore Interstate Commerce Commissioner W. M. Daniels today in the petition of 41 western railroads for permission to increase freight rates.
 Festus J. Wade. a St Louis banker, testified that owing to their poor earn ings western railroads were unable to obtain money except on high rates of interest out of proportion to that asked from industrial corporations. MT. Wade attributed the financial depression from which the railroads are suffering largely to the attacks of state rail- way commissions in reducing the rail- roads revenue to onerous acts by state legislatures and to wild and extrav- agant charges against the railroad ? He considered the influence of the in terstate commerce commission over railroads was good.
 Don't you think it is rather mis- management and the selling Of blue sky and water that has hurt the roads more than state commissioner asked Everett Jennings, counsel for the Illi- nois public utilities commission
 Its just such wild statement as you have made that have hurt their credit" ," replied MT. Wade.
 Benjamin r. Bush, president of the Missouri Pacific road. said his lines would be unable to keep pace witl the public'S demands for increased effici- ency unless higher freight rates were permitted
