BEAUTY IN THE BOUDOIR.
How Smart Rest Gowns Flame In
Oriental Colors,

In the direction of the boudoir gown
the feeling for rainbow r%adiancy is
specially marked, and, as there are no
hard and fast rules as to styles to be
observed. it follows that no limit is
placed on the creative genius of the
clever costumiere, whose fancy in the
matter of cut and color is given free
rein. The little shoulder capes, the wide
turnover collars, the short, straight
coats now IN vogue and the varied
forms Of stole II pelerine provided
for wear over the transparent corsage,
which is the corsage of the moment,
are eXcellently adapted for diversity
in the matter of color treatment.
Gossamer chiffon and stiff brocade
of an oriental g~orgeocsnesS of hue
are alike employed. Tatfeta, faille,
SATIN %lace-none OF these materials
comes amiSS to the dressmaker with
ideas. The gorgeous costumes of the
princes of India have inspired some OF
the bou1oir coats. which are not only
eastern in the splenQor of their color
ing, but in actual shape resemble more
than a little the long coat which so
often forms part of an oriental'S dress.
Large paste or enamel buttons. such as
the native loves. lend an added touch
of realism, and the slightly decollete
neck is often borderpd by a band Of
fur. La Mode never does things by
halves. and when it to the point
of paying compliments she can hold
her w with the most accomplished
tlatterer. In the winter it was the
bersaglieri hat; just now it is the
Queen of the Adriatic to whom CRATE
full homage is paid.

Copper DishcIoth.

Among the cleaning agents there are
two recent additions to the list that
are we'll worth while. One is the cop
per Wire dishcloth. which comes in
three sizes, for the cleaning of pots and
pans and is much more effective than
the chain cloths. as it does not chip or
crack the enamel. The other is steel
wool; this comes in a roll. and a little
bit pulled off. which has the feeling of

South American Hats,

Throughout the West Indies, Central
and South America the native women
make wonderful straw hats. The Dutch
island Of Curacao, near Venezuela, is
famous for the exceptional women's
straw hats that IRE there produced.
Porto Rico and Cuba make excellent
ones from the leaves Of the palm,
while Ecuador. Panama. Honduras and
Peru are noted for their Panama hats,
While wealthy men have Deer known
to pay as high rs 500 for q Panama
hat, such prices are decidedly unusual.
Hats of the best quality, plant and
flexible So that they may be folded and
carried in the pocket without injury.
can be purchased for from s. to $40,
depending upon the shreWdness OF the
buyer and the financial needs OF the
maker or seller. Women and children,
owing to the deftneSs of their fingers,
make the best hats, and but few men
are engaged in the industry. No fac
tories exist for their production. AS
the hats are finished they are either
traded to the village storekeeper for
necesSaries or sold to the native buyers,
who send them in lots OF fifty to u hun
dred to the merchants at the port.-W.

HUGE W BLOOM.
On the New Hats Blossoms Not Yet
Classified In Botanies.

After several seasons of small flow
ers fashion has suddenly swerved to
the other extreme and is now advocat-
ing the use of immense flowers for
both hat and dress decoration.
An instance OF this is found in a
Paris hat of red straw. whose high
crown and very broad brim are cor
nected by a narrow ribbon OF the same
hue tied in a bit of a bow at the back.
Posed directly in front is an immense
rose Of silk and velvet. also Of the red
color.
Peoples Of tremendous size are being
employed for dress hats. They are re-
produced in natural colors, with EN-
phasis OF the red and pink nua1ceS.
Frequently the poppies are pulled apart
and the petals in some fantastic and
overlapping manner are arranged about
the base of the crown. The effect is
very striking when the hat is of azure
blue erin straw and the peoples in
flame color.
Another novel bloom is found in
ing the appearance of a grayish alabas-
ter. Such blossoms are sometimes
placed on the top of the crown of a
hat of black milan straw. the addi-
tional altitude serving to balance the
extreme width of the brim. Besides
the flowers. sometimes IL glazed band
of ivory ribbon is employed.

For the Papers younger Readers
What BOYS Know,

All boys know that it is dangerous
to go swimming during dog days. but
the period OF dog days may be narrow
eel to suit the nataturial convenience
OF the individual. In other words, the
dog days rule may be suspended by a
vote OF a good sized crowd of young
STEERS unable to resist the purling lure
OF the stream.
The danger from snakes and turtles
while swimming does not deter Young
STEERS. for it is 4 we'll known fact that
Il snake cannot bite under water, for
the simple reason that the minute it
opens its mouth to nab the unslSpecl-
ing swimmer it chokes. The same rule
applies to turtles.
Another bit of swimming lore is the
remedy of hoyhool for water in the
ears. \ fiat. u warmed stone will
draw all water right out of the ear Of
the boy who seeks relief.

Dirty Ornaments Not Attractive, So
Polish UP Your Treasures.
All jewelry that is constantly worn
should be washed every month or six
weeks. 1t is not Il difficult matter Ell
ther. All you have to do is to make a
sOapy lather and add a few drops OF
ammonia. Take an old toothbrush and
When quite clean take the iewelry out
of the water and rub perfectly dry
with a chalnois leather or ordinary It's
sue paper.
When cleaning an article that is set
with stones, such as Il ring. be more
gentle with the toothbrush. for if you
brush too vigorously you may easily
loosen d stone. A pendant set with
emeralds. rubies or diamonds is better
immersed in q little eau de cologne
than water.
If you happen to be the lucky posses
sol OF any pearls remember they must
never be put i'll soapy water. though
sea water is good for them. Pearls
that are shut away and seldom worn
lose their beautiful sheen, SO if you
have such Il necklace Wear it regularly,
even If under yOur waist. The contact
with the skin will keep pearls a good
color
Turquoise are best washed With
warm water and Il little ammonia. but
no soap. Soap is apt to turn their pref
ty blue into a green. When you are
cleaning opals be careful not to drop
them, for they are brittle and chip with
alarming ease. In fact. they have earn
ed a name for being ~unlucky simply
because they are so fragile.
When you are not wearing jewelry
do Not leave it lying about or in a
drawer knocking against other orna-
ments. Keep it either in a piece Of
leather or in cotton wool. Steel orna-
ments should always be wrapped M
carefully in tissue paper. for the air
will quickly spoil their beauty.

DR.. Hawes Makes Strong
Plea For Raising Funds

That God is a believer in reciprocity
was the trend of the Rev. DR.. George
Edward Halves sermon in Market
Square Presbyterian Church yesterday
morning, when he made an earnest
plea for more general support of the
plan to raise 100000 for the necessary
improvements which are contemplated
in the campaign. He declared that it
has been proved time and again that
the nation to which God gives pros
perity will be shortly on the decline
if 1t neglects the church which is
Gods house.
IF 1 dared" said DR.. Hawes, "I
would plead, not for $4,000, but for
500, 900" And then he referred, some
what humorously. to the general
prevalence, indicative of prosperity, of
automobiles among all but the min
isters.
Twenty-Five per cent. of the mem
bers have contributed, but there are
still over 900 members to be heard
from and it is expected that stock will
soon be taken out that will bring the
subscriptions quickly up to the re-
quired amount.
Announcement was made yesterday
by special bulletin of the annual con-
gregational and Sunday School picnic
which will be held at Boiling Springs
on Wednesday, June 81. The COM
mittees were likewise announced.

THOUSANDS AT
BRICKER BAKERY
Big Building at Lemoyne In
spected by Public; Grocers
and Clerks Tomorrow

The weatherman was kind enough
to delay the deluge until after open
ing reception at the big bakery at Le-
moyne, Saturday evening. Conse-
quently thousands of people came to
see the West Shore Bakery plant. All
the spotless white of the walls and cell
ings, the brilliant lighting effect, the
palms and potted plants and the or
chestras playing on two f1oors,the effect
was pleasing and the crowd was in a
happy mood. The street outside was
filled with motor cars, while through
the doors of the big bakery plant the
crowd surged in and out most of the
afternoon and until late in the even
ing. Refreshments were served to all
who came and all the bread that was
baked during the day was distributed
during the evening hours. Many beau
tiful flowers were sent by friends, and
among them was a large basket of
peonies about eight feet high, from the
employees of the bakery, to Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. NJ. Bricker.
Tomorrow evening all the grocers
and their clerks will inspect the big
bakery. This will include the stores
in Harrisburg and from all surround
ig towns to which Bricker's bread is
shipped.
