New York, August 2.

New York, August 2.
The New York roof gardens, after
moons and evenings, display most
eharmingly the present vogue OF sum
mer cottons. Earlier in the season
when the popularity Of silk for blouses
and frocks was commented upon be-
cause, owing to conditions abroad, cot
ton was going to waste, it was predicted
that cotton and lingerie frocks would
take first place for midsummer wear,
and the prophecy has come tue. The
dainty cotton frock is worn both for
afternoon and for evening.
Dainty voiles on an Evening Roof
On one Of the most conservative Of
the roof gardens, at the dinner hour an
evening or so ago, the absence Of the
typical evening gown was very notice

able In its place the sheer cotton after
noon dress was worn. These as rule
are very simply cut and made. Often
a borlered material will be developed
into one of the be-ruffled frocks of the
moment, with no trimming aside from
it's own border, which is used for col
lar, cuffs, sash ends and to edge the
ruffles or flounces. The finish at the
upper edge of the skirt is a detail which
goes far toward making the dress at
tractive. With the striped materials,
especially, is this true. The upper edge
of the skirt may be finished with tiny
pleats which extend bit above the
narrow belt OF the same material, or
narrow band of black or brightly col
ored faille or gros-grain ribbon. These
pleated skirts, when striped materials
are used, are often pleated so that one
stripe overlaps the other. presenting one
solid shade OH the outside of the skirt,
effectively relieved by the shade be
meath, with every movement of the
wearer.
One Of the daintiest of the cotton
frocks worn at dinner this same eve
ming was a pale green Organdy. An
other was a soft gray wolfe, with Rus
sian blouse of gray Georgette belted and
I trimmed with silver. The various shades
of green and gray are favored in these
cotton dresses, as well as the other pas
tel shades, soft tones of blue, pink, lay
ender and white, was made with white
Georgette vest and sleeves, and a white
leather belt. Tiny pockets and fine tucks
made the skirt interesting. Yoked eff
fects are good also, and another froc
in stripes, noticed the same evening
was fashioned of an awning stripet
sheer linen, with deep yoke, sleeves an'
sash of plain white. While both of the$
frocks were unusually simple, they were
perfectly appropriate owing to TIN
weather, which was very warm.
Unusual Freedom Shown in Dress
While few years ago we Shouts
perhaps have frOwned upon these sim
pie cottons and the great vogue of brigh
colors now favored in the sports clothes
at the present moment we find then

Wide, Dropping Brinis on Midsummer
Hats

The wide, soft -brimmed, Bankok,
Wen Chow, Panama, Leghorn, hair or
hemp hats, with just suggestion of
trimming, are the favored hats of the
moment. These may be worn with
sports clothes, and quite as effectively
with lingerie and soft silk frocks. The
fabrics, cretonne. and the various strip
ed canvas weaves, are liked for sports
wear, combined with harmonizing coats
and skirts.

own guilty conscience. But in the
midst of the mirth a thin wisp Of
smoke was seen to curl out of the
side of the stage. A moment later
thick, black cloud drifted toward the
audience.
'Fire!" shouted somebody.
The stage manager appeared and
held up his hand. There is no dan
ger!" he said quietly. Please leave
your seats in an orderly manner and
go toward the elevators"
The panic was checked, but as the
three drew near the entrance those
who were in front came running back,
shrieking. The cause of the new alarm
was manifest. A roaring sheet Of
flame shot up each elevator. The top
floor of the hotel below was blazing.
Caught in the terror-stricken crowd,
Rita looked at Jim in dread. She was
being crushed by the seething throng
that surged back from the elevators
toward the parapet. But the next
moment she felt herself lifted in a
pair of strong arms and carried
through the mob
There is no danger!" she heard
John Campbell whisper in her ear
A minute later he had set her down
in niche in the parapet, while he
himself and Jim stood guard in front
of her. Around them surged the wild,
uncomfortable crowd of pleasure-mak-
ers, but she rested securely.
II don't know how we can thank you
| enough" said Jim to John Campbell.
Il hope this is the beginning of .
friendship that will last"
Il hope so,' answered John,
Somehow they seemed waiting for
hel' to speak. But as she did not, Jim
blurted out:
Il don't know whether our friend
knows it, Rita, but ought to tell you
| that Miss Ida Campbell and T."
II know it very WE'LL" said John,
smiling.

mean that
will you be very angry with me,
Rita?" asked Jim.

PROBATE COURT.
Judge e. B. GOOdselI Hears Evidence
On Claim Against Brown Estate.

A large party of Bloomington peo-
pie attended court in Lancaster Mon
day afternoon where the claim of Mrs.
Ornton Parker of Bridgeport against
the estate of temperance T. Brown,
deceased, was partially tried before
Judge E. B. Goodsell. Mrs. Brown was
the widow of VIM. H. Brown, store
keeper and possessed considerable
property. She died one year ago last
March and her will was entered for
probate in the regular manner, Miss
Daisy Brown being the executrix.
Mrs. Ornton Parker of Bridgeport,
who was a niece on the Distaff side OF
Mrs. temperance t. Brown, has since
filed claim against the estate for the
sum of $495 alleging services per-
formed during the last days of Mrs.
Brown. Mrs. Parker was left $3.50 as
a legacy under the trims of the will
along with other heirs who received
similar sums. The balance of the es-
tate of $4,000 went to the children
of Winslow Quick, ST., brother of
Mrs. Brown. Luke Webb, Drs. Nina
Glasier and j. E. Heraty, Daisy Brown,
and Milton WoodhOuSe, all of Bloom
ington, were among those called up
on the stand.
Mrs. Parker was represented by at
torney H. E. Carthew and the Quicks
by G. B. Clementson. An important
witness, Mrs. Herman Enke, of Bloom
ington, was unable to appear on ac-
count of illness. Pending the taking
of Mrs. Enke's testimony, either in
person or deposition, the case was
adjourned.
The burden of the testimony is of
nature to substantiate or disprove
the value of Mrs. Parker's services to
her aunt for which she is claiming re-
enumeration. 1t is said that she agreed
at one time to accept $3.50 from the res
iduary legatee and was offered 1925 in
satisfaction of her claim, but neither
side would go any further.

FIRE AT MCCOY FARM.
Fourth Fire In Week Destroys Hay
Barn Last Tuesday Afternoon.

About $3.50 o'clock last Tuesday an
alarm sent many volunteers to theJoe
Mccoy farm north of town where a
blaze had almost entirely consumed
the hay shed, and the intense heat had
started fires on the barn and feed
shed, close by. The volunteers turn
their attention to the latter struc-
turs and by effective work with buck
cts prevented the spread of the fire.
The total damage amounted to
about $500, which is partly covered
by insurance. The hay shed 24xS4
feet, a new hay loader and a load OF
hay in the feeding shed were all de-
stroyed.

Frank c. Meyer is the Lancaster
candidate for the office of district at

WELL Well meaning, but careless eX-
changes, however, have placed him in
nomination for different things that
Frank isn't even thinking of running
for. One paper says that Frank "here-
by dominates himself" instead of ''an-
nounces" himself, and, another places
Mr.. Meyer in the stock market col
umn, after gravely announcing the

stock in that bailiwick. All of which
