Smart Sport Hats Show Senciled Designs for Trimming


THIS season we have perhaps an
= different designers are working
from different periods. The followers
of one will adhere to one characteristic
Of dress and the followers Of another
to another characteristic, but in spite
OF that fact there are certain general
tendencies. Skirts seem to grow
broader and broader and bodices to
grow palmer. Without question, the
1890 period is being much looked to
and it may be we'll to sound just a
little note of warning. In those earlier
years of the last century, woman's
youth was sadly curtailed, at thirty she
no longer pretended to be young, she
felt herself mature, she had done with
the frivolity of life, therefore, her CO.'S
tunes made no attempt at youthful
effect. Today we know that youth
ends only when sympathy with youth
has gone and the aim of dress is rather
to prolong the period than to curtail
it, not to be foolishly frivolously
gowned when one is passed ones girl
hood, but on the other hand, not to
accentuate the passage of time. 1t will

when you consider certain costumes
exploited for our use for there are
many of them that are safe only for
the woman so young that nothing
would make her look old. The bodice
that is cut out Just little below the
collar line, for example, is as trying
as any that could be worn. 1t is be-
coming only to the very young face
and the very young throat and really
to the one that is ideal as well as young
and there are various other lines that
belong to that period which we would
do we'll to study from the same point
of view. ~ -s. 1f
We women are living lives Of greater
breadth and Of greater usefulness than
did our forbears of that period. We
owe it to the conditions of life to
maintain the effect of vigor and of
strength, not the foolish affectation
of youth and of girlhood but to en-
phasize the realization of the truth
that vigorous maturity is far removed
from age, that it has its work to do, 1t
has an important place in life

means but the simple designs often
are the most effective and the most de-
sirable. Any woman can enbroider
such an under gown as the one shown
here with very little demand upon
time and without any exceptional
knowledge. With the coming of warm
weather there is always need for
gowns finished with low necks. There
are two suggestions shown in the
illustration and both are desirable.
"A variety of materials are used for
underwear in these days, silk as we'll
as linen and cotton, but the best taste
demands fine soft fabric that will with
stand the repeated washings that are
essential to dainty cleanliness. Hand
kerchief lawn is advocated by the
best dealers and is worn by the
leaders of fashion. Fine white cotton
batiste and lawn are good materials,
and there are certain advantages to
be found in crepe de chine, and in the
tub silks. They launder easily and
are in a sense time savers and very
busy women and women of limited
households, find such considerations
OF importance. but nothing with
stands the laundry as perfectly as
linen and cotton and the linen and
cotton fabrics are sufficiently dainty
and sufficiently beautiful to satisfy
the most exacting tastes.

For sports wear and for wear at the
resorts, there are great many hats o
fiat brims and rather high round
crowns, that show flower and bird
designs stenciled thereon in vivid
colors, others again with charming
daisies and other simple flowers en-
broidered onto the straw with heavy
threads. They are effective with
sports coats, and If they are rightly
worn they will add to the charm Of the
summer, but there is always danger

Hats and Wells

Hats are always subjects Of especial
interest. The leading milliners are
displaying a great many with full
velvet crowns and the velvet crown
with straw brim is promised great
favor. Midnight blue velvet with
blue straw makes handsome COM

and there are a great many evidences
toward the tendency to such effects.

this fall, last night were brought into

Freeman got two of the birds and
Thompson the third. Thompson's was

NABS NEGRO DEACON
AS P. @. PILFERER
Inspector Cain Catches JanitOr
at Poplar Bluff Tinkering
With Mails.

After he had been Systematically
pilfering registered mail as well as
special delivery packages and envel-
Op2s for the last three months, Ar
thur Haskins, deacon and pillar in the
colored Methodist Church as we'll as
ianitor at the post-office at Poplar
Bluff, was arrested yesterday by Post
Office Inspector Ben +. Cain.
Inspector Cain arranged a trap for
the ianitor which the latter promptly
fell INTO while the inspector was on
watch.
Cain arrived in the Cape last night
on the HoXie accompanying his pris-
Oner. Haskins was placed in the City
Jail and he will have a hearing this
morning before L. S. Commissioner
Rage.
Haskins' scheme was very simple in
its operation. As ianitor of the post
Office he had access to the rooms where
the registered and special mail pouch
es were kept while at the Poplar Bluff
post-oiIice. He operated on the out
going mail by simply removing the
pieces from the bags, opening them
while in the Office and removing what
ever Of the content was valuable.
He then followed a habit of stealing
the packages and restoring them to
their places in the pouches. 1t took
several weeks for the losses to be
traced to the inside of the post-office,
and last Saturday Inspector Cain went
to Poplar Bluff.
His work was ended yesterday when
he got the goods on Haskins and made
the arrest. Haskins declared that he
had been at his work Iifling the mails
for the last six weeks, but losses have
occurred for the last three months.

PRESIDES AT A
CHAMPAIGN MEAL
Jaw Says as Corks Pop at
Banquet to County Clerks
at st. Charles.
GRIN COVERS FACE OF
GEORGE E. HACKMANN
Bankers Chagrin Erased as
Grape Juice Bottle is Hauled
Out of COwbebS.

William H. Stubblefield Jr., bank
president, finance chairman of the one
time Forsythe evangelist tabernacle
and leader of the dry-wing of the Cape
County Democratic party, last night
presided as POSTMASTER at campaign
dinner 1T the St. Charles Hotel.
The dinner or rather banquet was
given by f. F. Lowell, general sales
NAL of the Worrell Mfg. Co, of st.
Louis, in honor of the Missouri County
CLERKS who are holding a three-day
convention in the Cape.
Nj. Stubblefeld's eyes twinkled as,
over in one corner of the large dining
room, corks began popping and there
was the delicate tinkle of glasses as
the process of filling up" started in
his direction.
The waiter approached with the
quart bottle of champaign, immacu-
lately enveloped within a towel so
that Just the gurgling mouth was ex-
posed, stopping at each guests's elbow
to let the clear fluid sparkle and foam
into the high-stemmed glasses.
The bankers jaw sagged and his
eyes were austere when the towel-clad
bottle neared his place. Nearby George
r. Hackmann, State Auditor-elect and
secretary OF the County Clerks AsSo-
citation, allowed a smile to begin be-
meath his black mustache and travel IN
ripples clear out to his ears, as the
wine bubbled up from the depths of the
champaign glass in front of him.
Mr.. Stubblefeld filled up with grape
mice and went ahead with his Job as
toastmaster.
Nearly two score guests attended
the affair, when Mr.. Hackmann dellV-
cred one of the principal talks. he
declared that the clerks association
and annual conventions make for etfi-
cheney and said he is convinced that
he obtained much benefit from his con-
nection with the county clerks organ
ization.
He likewise toasted the hospitality
Of the Cape in his address. Others
who made short talks were
J. w. Harrington, president, OF
Platte County; Charles b. Johnson
DeKalb County, first vice president;
Forrest Smith. Ray County, second
vice president; John L. LlklnS, Greene
County, third vice president; D. b.
Kunkel, Holt County, assistant Secre-
try. and John A. Miller, Andrew Coun-
ty, treasurer.
The clerks will finish their conven-
ton this afternoon with the election OF
officers and selection of the next meet
ing place, as we'll as the adoption OF
resolutions. St. Louis has been urged
as the next meeting place.
