THE CITIZEN SOLDIERS.

In his "Colyum' in the New York
Tribune, Franklin P. Adams recently
said: "The departure of the militia
is stirring thing. 1t makes one feel
like a Stacker, however numerous and
legitimate ones excuses may be- -
That is the truth. But there is con
clusion to be drawn from it that has
very practical application. 1t is that

in their thoughts and words concerning
issues that may involve the nation III

those who hold official position. We
sometimes speak as though we thought
it very "brave' for President or
Congress to commit the nation to \
warlike policy. But nothing is easier

bers of Congress would put their livea
in jeopardy.
So of the old men. They ought to do
nothing to stir up passions that may
bring on war in which they can bear
none of the burdens. Surely this
thought must stir in the minds of all Of
them when they see the youngsters
starting to the front. Writing of a
certain type of old men-and we hope
and believe that there are few such in
this country-Kipling says: 1--WE

who does not respect, reverence and
covet thems The boys will do their
duty in whatever crisis this nation may
face. There need be no doubt about
that. And it is proper that all should
cheer them ON when the hour of trial
atd danger comes. All that is urged
is that the non fighters should never be
iingoes, and never imagine that they
show any bravery in fighting wars by
deputy.
There are able editors in this country
who have been extremely militant, yet
who would never in time of war get
nearer the front than they are now.
And we have heard from men who
would never-because they could not
shoulder a musket. Indeed, they would
not feel, with Mr.. Adams, that they
were slackers. "The departure of tho
militia is stirring thing and it is
also an instructive thing. We think
that the Mexican crisis has sobered the
people more even than the great war
in Europe has done. There is marked
subsistence of war talk, and little de-
mand that we fight simply to show
that We are brave. But there is also
no weakening in the determination that
this nation shall do it's duty at what.
ever cost In that sense there are no
slackcrs in the United States. But
those of us who stay at home should re-
alize that when the boys go we are Civ.
ing our hest, and should resolve always
to deal with dangerous issues in calm
and sober way and to labor for peace
till the higehest interests and honor Of
the nation demand an appeal to the
sword. We believe that this has been
the attitude of great majority of the
American people during the last two
years. They have felt that nothing is
more precious than the young life Of
this Lation, and that is the reason
or one of the reasons-why they have
been so unstampedable. If, as has
been said, young men are best for war
and old men for counsel, the old men
should counsel as wisely as the young
men fight bravely.

June 25.
Summer finds us very much inclined
toward stripes, in linens, pongees, tus-
sahs, voiles, crepes and the various i'm
ported and domestic novelty cottons.
The ground of these materials is usual
ly white, or the natural crash or linen
color, and the stripe, either vivid or a
soft tone, according to the purpose of
the frock, or the fancy of the wearer.
These striped materials are usually COM
bined with a plain fabric, corresponding
with the color of the stripe, or the
ground. On the Russian blouse models,

Collar
of Figured and Plain
Materials in Lingerie Frocks

Linen and Georgette are often COM
bined most effectively in the smart aft
ernoon models for country club and
like wear. One unusually attractive
costume shows Russian blouse Of
mauve color GeOrgette worn with full,
short skirt of mauve linen; another i'm.
ported model, made on Russian blouse
lines, shows the novel combination Of
foulard and muslin; the blouse is of the
muslin and the skirt of foulard.
Trimmings for Lingerie Dresses
Much narrow Valenciennes and flet
lace edging and insertion is used to
trim the dainty muslin and voile dresses
this summer. 1t edges the frills of
bodice and skirt, finishes the collar and
cuffs, joins the seams, or is applied in
any way that strikes the individual
fancy. Embroidery is another strong
trimming feature. Scarcely blouse or
tug frock but shows touch of white
or colored handwork on collar, cuff,
belt, or at the closing. Novelty but
tons, embroidered or stenciled, lend a
touch of effective color to the dark lin
en- or serge frock, and light crystal but
tons add ia pretty finish to the voile
and crepes.

Combinations of Figured and Plain
Materials in Lingerie Frocks
AS we combine stripes with plain ma

grown-ups and for small girls.
There are sprigged and dotted dimi-
ties, embroidered and printed voiles,
lowered organdies, embroidered mus

a tiny frock of rosebud and white dim
ity, trimmed with frills of Valenciennes

The lowered, printed or embroidered
crepes and voiles are very pretty used
this way, and there are printed silks be-
ing combined with plain taffetas and
satins, in the same way, for afternoon
frocks.
Handkerchief Linen for Blouses
For blouses, both of the sports type
and the more dressy models, the striped
and figured handkerchief linens are
modish. These have usually white
grounds with colored stripe, flower, or
pattern. The stripes
are much more in evidence than the
figured linens. For the costume blouse
crepe is the general favorite. In white
or the soft tones of pink. blue, cafe all
lait, Nile green, and the various other
pastel shades, this material washes per-
fectly; the dark tones are excellent and
are practical for the tailored suit, be-
ing selected to harmonize or match
the shade Of the suit.
