MODES ARE SIMPLE

Picturesque simplicity is the keynote
Is this condition given more forcible
expression than In the development of
accessories. Old-fashioned styles are
revived, and along with them there
seems TO be q return of old-fashioned
industries and types of handiwork. In
divi1uality IN costuming is frequently
obtain ed by woman's ability TO stitch
according TO her own ideas. This ap-
plies to all sorts of garments, inner
as well as outer. Madame Mode es-
pecially approves of homemade ac-
ceSsories
For the head there's the hand-paint-
ed or hand-embroidered sports hat, or
the gay, queer, unusual chapeau whose
brim is straw braid and whose crown
might have been shipped from the cor
ner of grandma's silk crazy quilt Silk
patchwork hats are actually shown in
the shops.
Waistcoats, vests and collars galore,
fluffy and filmy and lacy or modishly
severe and tailored, according to fancy,
may be of home manufacture. Collars
and capes of chiffon or satin trimmed
in ostrich or marabou or fur, and fol-
lowing identically in style line their
more costly rivals of all fur, are good
style. Girdles of ribbon or satin or
beadwork may be made as dainty en-
bellishments for simple summer frocks.
Garden or porch sets consisting of
hat and bag, combining in their make
up bright lowered cretonne or silk
and straw or raffia braid, are shown
a basket-shaped or bowl-shaped recep-
tacle of braid having q shirred-On top
of cretonne or silk with long ribbon
ends from which it is swung, while q
mushroom or sailor hat of matching
braid is crowned with the gayly flow
cred fabric. Hand-painted and hand
embroidered parasols and chic little
sunshades adorned with applique
work are increasingly popular with the
arrival Of summer sunshine, and foot
gear Is as varied In style line, fabric
and coloring employed as are the va
rious other accessories of dress.

cidedly novel, are some sports shoes

ARRANGING. THE PLATE RAIL
Avoid the Monotony of Continuous
Line Of Objects Of the
Same Size.

An attractive way to arrange the
plates along a plate rail, to avoid
the mOnOtOny of continuous line of
objects practically all the same size,
is to group the plates by ones, twoS
and threes, with a space Of two feet
or so between the groups. For ex-
ample, a large round plate or oval
platter may stand alone; farther along,
two plates of the same pattern may
stand together, one slightly overlap
ping the other; after another space
there may be group consisting of
one large plate with a small one each
side, the small ones very slightly
overlapping the large one. Another
group Of two, space, then another
group of three or single beautiful
plate standing alone, may follow, and
so on around the room. The effect
is much more restful and the plates
are better displayed than when ar
ranged without definite scheme.

Two Pretty Aprons.

Two pretty aprons were seen the
other day, both made out of q length
of heavy linen toweling, about Is or
20 inches wide. In one a hole was
cut, through which to slip the head,
far enough from one end to reach
to the waiStline in the back This
end was gathered into q belt that is
brought around to the front, where it
fastens with an embroidered button.
The other end, which can be made to
reach as far down as desired, is en-
broidered with colored sprays Of flow
ers. The same design appears near
the neck, too. The other apron was
rounded under the arms to form bib
and was fastened with straps that
reached from the shoulders and
crossed in the back. The raw edges
of the apron were finished in an over
stitch of blue, and the straps and bot
tom of apron were both ornamented
with sprays of flowers embroidered In
the blue.

that one reads the story Of how Won

some hours eating two parcels of in

AS q feat of mastication, says the
London Observer, Won der Goltz by no
means holds the record. Paper is cas-
lily reduced to a pulp and swallowed
(the ink acting as an appetizer), and
the only difficulty In this case was the
quantity. Leather is another matter,
but apart from meals of hard-pressed
explorers there are authenticated In

What may be described as a paper
meal de luxe was that of the famous
Fanny Murray mentioned by Horace
Walpole: 81 liked her spirit In an In

MONKEYS HAVE MOTOR CARS
walk Summer Girl at At
Iantic City.

Gone Is the day of the once famous
Teddy bear. No longer is the hereto
fore much coddled lap dog mllady's
companion either i'm her motor car
or on her walks. Into the discard
has been thrust, hurriedly and with
out ceremony. the comic doll of early
summer popularity.
In their place has come the novelty
produced by the combination Of toy
motor car and a real, live, regular
monkey, which the Atlantic City
boardwalk's summer girl has brought
into unexpected prominence both on
the great wooden way and the bath
ing beaches, and once or twice in the
glittering cabaret places that dot the
boardwalk approaches. Apparently
the craze for the Simian escorts is
taking hold even more quickly than
did that which marked the debut of
the now all but forgotten Teddy.
Wrapped in garments that are har-
moniously in accord with the exagger-
ated color scheme of this seasons

trundled with increasing frequency in

walk that forms the chief attraction
for the resorts feminine contingent.
And the monkeys seem to enjoy the
outings.

AUTHOR WRONG IN HIS FACTS
Pictured Civil War Soldier Dying to
"A Hot Time in the Old Town"
Tune.

There is an infinitely touching story
In q magazine article by c. III. Grub
on Soldiers and Their Songs" 1t re-
lates how federal soldier during the
American Civil war lay dying in a
hospital and wished again to hear the
national song. They sang him several
recognized national airs, but none
would satisfy him till someone struck
up "a Hot Time in the Old Town To-
night" "The dear boy" continues the
author, wounded to death, smiled his
content and, turning his face to the
wall, died happy"
We hate to shatter Mr.. Grubb's IL
lusions, but as a matter Of fact "a
Hot Time I'm the Old Town Tonight"
only came into existence in the later
nineties and was a favOrite song

Music While You Work.

A dry-cleaning establishment In
Cincinnati has come TO the conclusion
that If its employees hear music al
frequent intervals while they work
1t will not only make them happier
more contented and better workers
but that they will accomplish more
than If they were without 1t.
Working upon this theory, there
have been installed throughout the
big establishment enough monographs
to keep lively music playing most OF
the day.
The records are selected with care
lest funeral selection, dreamy waltz
or a sextet from Lucia" should
creep in. There are many lively
dance records and popular songs. The
workers hum and sing TO the lively
music, and the speed of the music
puts the speed into their work.

In a lengthy report to physicians,
the Rockefeller institute announces
the discovery OF germ in the brain
and spinal cord Of monkeys inoculated
with infantile paralysis. The organ
ism is said to be very minute, the
difficulties attending its artificial cul-
tivation and Identification being SO
great that the discovery Is as yet Of
little value for the purpose Of early
diagnosis of suspected cases. Mon
keys inoculated with the micro-organ-
ism, developed a disease correspond
Ing to infantile paralysis In human be-
ings. From these experiments ii was
determined that the mucous men,
brane of the nose and throat OF per-
sons not sick with the disease may
become contaminated with the virus
and that without falling Ill themselves
they may become carriers OF the dis
ease. 1t was found, In monkeys, that
the virus could be discovered six
months after incubation, and that dry
ing and mixing 1t with dust did not de-
stroy 1t.

RAG Ruqs for Pillows.

A very inexpensive and easily made
pillow for porch, hammock or camp
ing is made from a small rag rug.
These may be obtained at a very small
cost In any of the stores and in any
color or combination of colors one
could desire. Just fold the rug in
half, stitch the two sides down with
very coarse cotton, put a small, light
pillow in and stitch the third side
down, or, If desired, fasten with very
large snaps. The pillow could then
more easily be removed. These pill
lows launder beautifully and should
they lose their brightness, could quite
easily be redipped to restore the orig
inal shade.

END FOR MORAN
His Defeat by Dillon Means No
More Fat Purses.
Little Giant Gave Away Thirty
Pounds and Then Won.

New York, June 3O.-Jack Dillon
has lived up fully to his reputation as
"a man killer" and though the serv-
ices of an undertaken were not needed
at the close of his fight with Frank
Moran Thursday night, the Hoosier
scrapper nearly killed off the Pitts
burger as one of the big money"
fighters of the country.
Moran received $25, 900 for the beat
ing he took from Dillon, but every
jab and hook that brought the blood
flowing from Franks face and sent
him backing away, puzzled and paSty
looking, was shaking him loose from
further chances at fat purses. With
Thursday nights fight Moran has col
lected $500 for taking two beatings
within four months. He received
$37 900 for his fight with Willard in
March. But the beating he took from
Little" Dillon-more than thirty
pounds lighter and six inches shorter
probably spelled the end of Moran
a card tht will lead promoters to
put up thousands to get him in the
ring. The way is now open for Dillon
to collect some of the big stuff.
If He Only Weighed More.
'If Jack only weighed thirty pounds
more" was the most frequent remark
heard in New York today among fight
when they thought of his lacking
thirty pounds. they also thought of
huge Jess Willard, the heavyweight
champion. Moran appeared small
when in the ring with Willard, but he
looked like a giant as compared with
Dillon. However game, fast and clev-
er Dillon may be, therefore, his chance
against big Jess are held at zero.
Moran was fat and in anything but
| good condition for the fight. Dillon,
on the contrary, was trained to the
minute. His muscles rippled beneath
clear, healthy skin, burned to a nut
brown He was in deadly earnest
from the tap of the first bell Moran
smiled and winked at friends at the
ringside during the first round and
| laughed when Dillon hit him
Smile Came Off
| Once, when giving himself over to
such bit of mirth in the second, Dill
lon cracked him on the jaw so hard
| he almost turned Frank around. After
the third round, when Moran got Jack
on the ropes twice and hammered him
with the best he had, the smile of the
Plttsburger was conspicuous by its
absence.
Dillon did the greatest execution
with Snort arm pokes at close range.
| In the seventh round he hit Moran
seven times in the face without return
with snappy rights that travelled only
a few inches but brought streams of
claret and shook up Moran. They
went like blows of trip hammer.
Dillon, without a mark on him. and
still fresh, tripped over to Morans
l corner to shake hands with him but
/ was greeted with nothing but a scowl
as Franks seconds worked over him.
