ODDS AND ENDS OF EARLY SUMMER FASHIONS


There are many charming lace
frocks for hummer afternoon and
evening wear. and lace blouses for
wear with suits of silk taffcta are
quite in good taste.
Tweed Top Coats.
Perhaps for the serviceable motor
or sports coat, tweed is the best
choice OF fabric. There are, at any
rate, some very smart tweed models
on the market-and, what is more,
IN the smart motor cars of the land.
Usu. Iy these coats are belted loose
ly below the waist, but sometimes
they are made with the circular, far
ing back that was emphasized in the
covert cloth spring coats. The belted
style Is doubtless more practical for
sports and motoring wear.
Plain Parasols.
The parasols of 1915 are surpris-
lngly plain. One might think that
in this season Of picturesque fashions
an unusually picturesque parasol
would be featured. But compared
with the parasols of couple OF years
ago, when Eastern influences in dress
were predominant, the parasols of
today are plain indeed There are
some dome-shaped models, rather
small and pointed. And there are
the lovely embroidered Japanese
shapes-with the embroidery usually
on the inside of the parasol. Some
times, instead of embroidery, birds or
flowers are made of silk and used,
embroidery-wise, on these parasols

fashion. Taffeta is the most usual
parasol fabric, although there are
transparent parasols of tulle and lace.

hats There are a few parasols which,

peak of the stick, looping over the
roof of the sunshadc, and again
caught in at the handle.
Suspender Frocks.
Suspender frocks are still worn,
both by children and grown-ups. The
model is one with many possibilities
and therefore has not been given up.

indulgence They are made in lovely
severe look of the old-time wooden
sweater-ncither nave they any OF
the gaping scantness of the first silk
sweaters. They are made and sold
in ample sizes today. A new thing
is the knitted silk sports blouse, of
the same fabric and workmanship as
the sports coats and quite as attrac-
tive for country wear.
Big Polka Dots.
Large polka dots-sometimes as big
as silver half dollar-are conspic-
uously fashionable this spring. Linen
frocks with these big dots, linen and
silk blouses are all made with them.
Sometimes, too, a polka-dotted silk
frock makes an appearance. The
dot is usually of color, the ground
white, although sometimes the re-
verse color scheme is adopted.
Lace in Spite of Scarcity.
Lace is more expensive than it was
year ago-imported lace. And lit
tie of it can be obtained at any price.
For the lace works of part of the
world are out of commission on &C
count of the war. 1t must be that
the French designers searched Paris
conscientiously for as much lace as
they could lay hands on. Certain it
is that the French spring models
have shown wide use of lace. And

good domestic weaves at hand. have
also gone in for lavish use of lace

Is Palmer Footwear Coming:
The trend of fashion is usually
torecasted in vague sort of way tor
months before fashion actually
changes. Just now there are many
rumors that women are firing OF the
elaborate and rather ornate footwear
of the moment. AS yet there is no
falling off in the wearing or buying of
boots that are made Of two-colored
fabrics. that lace everywhere except
ing IN the usual place, that are orna-
sible to ornament anything so small
less the rumor is hereto be listened
to forwhat it is worth-that palmer,
black footwear is to return to fash
ion. Just now, as if to warn us not
to take this rumor too seriously, re-
ports come from France that some
of the new boots are made to reach
almost to the knees-two-colored
boots at that.
The Perfection of Knitted SILK.
Every woman who has looked at
one OF the knitted silk sports coats
has probably longed to possess one.
The thing that keeps them from be-
coming commonplace is their price.
1t is still prohibitive to the poor
woman, the woman who usually runs
a popular style to its untimely end.
So for the we'll dressed woman these
knitted silk sports coats are safe

ly meant two straight bands going

sleeves attached to these same two
fundamental straps. And sometimes
there is whole back or front of a
bodice held in place by straps from
the shoulders to the waist. As much
ingenuity is displayed in the blouse
over which the new suspendcrs are
fastened as in these accessories,
it is usually of sheer quality. For
sports wear there are some very good
models in corduroy with regulation

Picturesquenesa of Styles.

on in the styles of the summer. The

velvet trimmed, is one favorite exam-
pie, especially pretty with silk or lin
gerie afternoon frocks, and the hat
of lace or tulle is another. And
frocks themselves are getting more
and more picturesque. For street
wear and shopping wear. women still,
in the majority, wear sedate enough
clothes. But society women among
themselves are more and more wear
ing frocks that disclose their desire
for prettiness-a word that has been
taboo in the world of clothes for sew
eral years. Perhaps, too. it is more
and more true that society women
wear their fashionable clothes, the
striking ones, where they are far
more likely to be seen by other So
ciety women than by the curious pub
lie. Almost any big event which is
open to all corners shows a compare
lively uninteresting condition in the
way of clothes. The women of
wealth and position are dressed much
like those without it. 1t is more and
more difficult for the outsider to see
the real treasures of a fashionable
woman's wardrobe.

Striped Handkerchief Linen.

Stripes and checks and p1aids are
still much favored by fashion. Strip
cd handkerchief linen frocks will
prove good choice of morning
frocks for seaside and country wear.
These linens come in all colors-blue
and white of several shades, brown
and white in every tone from cream
to chestnut, from tan to brown that
is almost black, rose, violet, maroon,
yellow, watermelon pink, and various
shades of green-all striped with
white. For morning wear these lin
ems are usually made with white mus
lin collars and cuffs. They are also
made into blouses and shirtwaists
for general and sporting wear. One
of the latest and most interesting
uses of the linens is for trimming
frocks and blouses of white wolfe or
linen. A charming blouse shows a
narrow vest of stripes and a wide,
pleated collar and cuffs. pleated so
that where the pleats stay together
only the color shows, but at the edge
where they open the stripe is plain
ly seen.
Black and White PetticOats.
A serviceablc summer petticoat is
made of black and white striped mes
saline. 1t is cool, inexpensive and
attractive, and can be worn with
frock of almost any color. Usually
these petticoats are made with bias
flounce edged with pinked or picot-
edged ruche, sometimes with pointed
insets to give a further flare at the
bottom When the petticoat is espe-
cially desired to give added fare and
stiffness to the skirt, taffeta one is
the best choice. for this can be stiff.

HOW TO REDUCE THE
CANCER DEATH RATE

Vermont has gone on strike
against cancer. She has the high
est death rate from this disease of
any state in the union-111.7
deaths per 100000 population per
i year. The average cancer death
rate for the registration area of the
United States is 70 per 100000, and
that of North Carolina and Ken
lucky is only as. Clearly, the doc
| tors of Vermont have reason to make
a concerted effort to see whether
their states bad pre-eminence in
this malignant disease cannot be re-
duced.
1t can, if Vermonters will listen
to sound advice. There are two
ways to lower the cancer death rate
One is to prevent cancer and the
other is to catch it early and get
rid of it by radical operation.
Cancer comes from persistent ir-
ritation. What other factors may
hep resent in the disease no one
knows, but this factor is essential.
The sore throat or tongue of men
who skoke to excess, lump in the
breast in women and ulcer of the
stomach in both sexes are some of
the frequent preludes to cancer. If
every such sore, lump or ulcer had
prompt, intelligent medical and
surgical attention, there would be
fewer cases of maligant disease.
Even after a cancer is establish
ed it can be cured by radical,
thoroughgoing operation Delay is
not merely dangerous, it is deadly.
The death rate from untreated can
Ger is exactly 100 per cent. If
every cancer patient would seek
operative relief when he first be-
gins to suspect something wrong,
the death rate from this cause prob
ably would be less than 90 per cent

GE0RGIA'S DEEP DISGRACE

Probably no deeper disgrace was
ever inflicted by its own citizens
upon any State in the Union than
they put upon Georgia last night
when a mob representing the last
word in lawlessness and crime, took
Leo Frank from the State prison
where he was serving a life SEN
tence. carried him to Marietta and
lynched him by hanging.
The men who committed this
crime were murderers standing for
an infinitely greater peril to their
State than the miserable, helpless
wretch they strangled to death.
They are real menace, dreadful
menace, and hardly day passes that
the telegraph doesn't tell the news
that the spirit of lawlessness for
which they stand is finding it's
fruitage in unpublished murder all
over the State
The Frank case was an incident, a
passing bubble on the great current,
of the worlds life, and Frank him
self was being terribly punished for
the crime he was convicted of; but
to take him from the penitentiary
out the hands of the Stately
violence and lynch him, is a very
moral cataclysm in the immensely
of its awful significance. 1t means
nothing less than that the basic in
of Georgia, upon which
her civilization rests, can be torn
down at the pleasure of mob of
and the State itself cast
cut on the sea of anarchy.
A weak man in the executive chair
UP there will deplore the event and
do nothing, but one of the Andrew
Jackson type would come very near
to discovering the criminals and
them where they belong.

FAILURE OF THE SAN
FRANCISCO EXPOSITION

The Panama-Pacific Exposition
has, so far, been decided failure
Artistically it is wonderful
achievement. In point of detail i,
has never been surpassed. A lack
OF patronage is the cause of the pres.
ent unhappy condition of the San
Francisco promoters. 1t is sad
blow to the pride of thenative sons,
1t is now reported that the expo
sition will be closed before the date
contemplated.
There are logical reasons why
f, the exposition has not been a sue
cess. Geographically it is badly To-
Gated. San Francisco is out of
reach of the man of ordinary means.
It requires too much money and too
much time to visit the coast.
The pluck and perseverance of
the people of California must be
admitted. Few cities could have
accomplished SO much in such a
short space of time. New Orleans,
the logical point for such an expo
sition, was outdistanced early in the
race.
For the energy shown the whole
countrys honors San Francisco. A
splendid example of thrift and enter
prise was shown. San Francisco
people. however, overstepped them
selves. They expected too much
and was entirely too clannish to
succeed. The city has exhibited the
spirit of close corporation No
one can do business in San Francisco
who has not been a resident of the
state two years. This is bad law
to begin with, and turned many peo-
PIE away from the exposition. The
decision not to advertise in the
newspapers of the country was
another bad idea The absolute lack
of business management is the re-
sponsible cause.
The concessionnaires were the
first to feel the effect of the coming
failure. Like rats deserving
sinking ship they began to leave the
JOY zone early in the summer But
few remain.
To blame the failure on the Eu-
ropean war is folly The exposi-
ton would have failed even in times
of peace The clannish and eXclus-
i've policy of the coast people is an
taganistic to enterprise.
1t Is matter of national regret
that the exposition has not been
success, for it will probably be the
last great worlds fair this country
will ever have.-Memphis Com

ial opinion by the Manufacturers
Record which suggests something of
the same kind for Florida. The
Record says:
Along with better organization
and closer cooperation among the

advertise the Florida product than
ever before. There is growing
appreciation of the advantage in
establishing a high standard for
Florida oranges in the markets of
the country by better packing
methods and the shipment of only
the finer grades of the fruit and on
top of this movement is a plan to

$4,000 more than has even been
spent by the Florida Citrus Ex-
change in previous year.

Rev. d. B. Sweat, pastor OF the
Methodist church at Manatee rises TO
an eminence of practical religion.
/ It's the gospel of buying at home
that the minister breaches and prac-

The Manatee pastor during resi-
dence of twelve years in the state
has noted a growing tendency on
thepart of residents TO save the home
products instead of purchasing
everything for home consumption
abroad. This experience applies to
hay which ismore generally cured
here than formerly, to fruits and
vegetables OF all kinds and to grain,
especially corn which grows luxur-
iantly here and which isutilized to
advantage as feed for live stock and
food for families.
