be more elaborate or less will depend
entirely upon the garment that is to be
worn over it. If the blouse itself is
richly trimmed, the lining beneath
would be simple otherwise the lines
will confuse and the effect will be lost
but when a plain blouse Is worn the
trimmed under-bodice serves definite
purpose.
Brassieres are made Of heavy linen
and heavy lace for their purpose is a
practical one and they are supposed to
be strong enough to supplement the
low corset and to keep the figure snug
and neat. Exceedingly handsome
models are shown made entirely of
Irish crochet lace made for the purpose.
1t is strong, 1t is durable, it holds tho
figure and at the same time it is rich
and elegant in effect. Linen Of heavy
enough weight to serve the same
purpose with trimming of embroidery
and of cluny lace is liked too and
linen combined with heavy cluny to
make an entire garment is shown.
Since all these materials will endure
laundering again and again, they are
practical as we'll as handsome and it is
q notable fact that women of the
greatest means are apt to be the ones
who look most closely to that con-
dition. 1t is the foolish spendthrift
who buys the perishable garments,
not the woman accustomed to luxury
and who is considering the best and
most desirable.
Petticoats are really luxurious gar
ments. A great many that are in
cluded in the trousseau are designed
to wear in the boudoir in combination
with negIigees and such allow the silk
foundations, lace trimmings and all
the elaboration. that one may. choose.
A wonderfully dainty one that has
just been received from Paris is made
all of fine white organdie. 1t is very
wide and full and is shirred to give the
sectional effect, these shirrings all
being done by ribbon run through
castings and drawn up to be finished
with bows at the sides and at the
lower edge are points Of the ribbon
finishing the garment. With it there
is little corset-cover to match. A
really fascinating model gives the tunic
effect and in scarcely petticoat
proper but which would be charming

involve any great amount of labor
yet it gives an exceedingly good effect:
Here, handkerchief lawn is shown and
there is no better material from any
point of view but crepe de chine or
Georgette crepe could be treated in the
same way with excellent result. The
pattern is adapted to solid work or to
eyelets and clever women will see that
it also can be used for beads or for
combination of silk embroidery with
beads Color on white is being much
used this season and any pretty dainty
pastel shade would make good effect.
The pattern includes a straight band
for each side of the front, design for
the square collar and for the sleeves
and it can be applied to any blouse
with straight edges.

San Francisco, Aug. 20.-Justice
Hughes visit to California has probab-
ly cost him a hundred thousand votes.
This statement represents the opin-
ion OF numerous politicians-both pro-
gressives and republicans.
Some less conservative critics are
inclined to double this estimate of dam
age done, while the few who attempt to
minimize ii are in most instances affil-
lated with the clique Of old-line repub-
ucans who have been running the
Hughes campaign IN this state as an
adjunct to the ambition Of Willis
Booth to be elected TO the United States
senate.
Before Hughes came to the coast
California was generally regarded as a
rather doubtful state which, in view of
the heavy republican registration, was
likely to be numbered among his cleo
toral assets in November. Today nine
out of every ten men yersed in politics
here would be willing to wager their
hats and shoes that Wilson would
sweep the state if the election were
held tomorrow. The only hope of the
Hughes faithful now is that something,
they know not what, may occur within
the next two months to revolutioniZe
progressive public opinion, which is at
present in the throes of a widespread
disgust
II is admitted by everybody that the
progressive voters hold the balance Of
power in California elections. This
year many of them, including the great
majority Of the state officials and their
followers, are registered as republi-
cans; many others are registered as
non-partisans. The former, most of
them, having read much of the reputed
progressivism OF Hughes, accepted him
after the Chicago convention as the
next best thing to Roosevelt and were
frankly eager to support him; the tat
ter, occupying the roles Of Missourians
in politics, sat expectantly on the

COMMUNITY PICNIC

The third annual neighbOrhOod pic
mic which is TO be held at the Tindall's
grove camp grounds Labor day, bids
fair to be the best yet. The grounds are
situated four miles south of Milan and

gathering.
The committee has about completed
all arrangements for Mondays gather
ing. The merchants of Rock Island,
Milan, Taylor Ridge, Presumption and
Reynolds have responded very Hber-
ally and given those in charge much
encouragement. Good prizes will , be
offered to those who win in the sports.
Men, women and children are to en-
ter in the contests and prizes will be
given in keeping with the nature of the

fence. Both groups awaited the COM
interest.
He came, they saw and heard, but he
most emphatically failed to conquer.
The progressives listened in vain for
for any reference to their cherished
program of social Justice, or for any
comment upon their proud record OF
legislative achievement IN this state
the very citadel OF their cause. They
heard nothing but inscrutable general
tiles concerning domestic problems
and destructive criticism OF the demo-
cratic administration foreign policy.
Peoples Leaders Insulted.
The progressives saw the republican
nominee, the man whom their national
committee had Endorsed for the presi-
dency, everywhere in the company Of
men whose very names have always
signified reaction ana anti-progressiv-
ism throughout the state. They saw
their own leaders, who have been in
the forefront OF the liberal movement
IN California politics. ignored or pushed
into the background at every Hughes
meeting They watched the leaders OF
the campaign to elect reactionary re-
publican to the United States senate
assume charge of every function at
which the visiting candidate appeared.
despite his assertion that he would
have no part in local issues.
The net result of these observations
is that nine out OF every ten progress
sives here-and it is safe to assume
that the ratio is almost equally as
graot IN other parts Of the state-what-
ever their present registrations may
be. declare fatty that they will not
vote for Hughes.
Republicans are Annoyed.
Many lifelong republicans are al
most as censorious of Hughes as are
the former bull moosers. One OF them,
who has been very prominently identi-
fed with anti-progressive politics,
said that he was Disguised with
Hughes and that his campain here had
been horribly mismanaged. Another
remarked that his party's candidate
either had no convictions or was afraid
to express what he had.
I'm either event" he said, II have
no use for him. He would be far better
off If he had stayed away from Cali
fornia"
Certain progressive leaders are as
Stunning that Hughes failure to discuss
the progressive legislation which has
made California nationally famous was
based upon representations from the
Booth partisans that any reference to
1t would be construed as a boost for
Governor Johnson.
What About Johnson?
"If this be true" said one, Justice
Hughes progressivism must be most
uncertain quality, when he is willing to
conceal 1t for fear of losing a few re-
dictionary votes. 1t would not have
been necessary for him to recognize
Governor Johnson publicly. All that
most of us wanted was an exposition
of his attitude toward progressive prin-
ciples. In his failure to give this he
has been guilty of one grievOus polit-
icaI oversight, which is that while the
reactionary republican votes are al
ready securely tied TO him, and the
regular democratic votes to Wilson, the
hundreds of thousands of progressives
and former progressive votes are not
tied TO anybody and will undoubtedly
be cast in accordance with conviction,
which will be determined by the devel
opments of this campaign"

the State Fire Marshal, came here
Saturday night, at the instance of
States attorney Owens, to investigate
the attempt to burn the dwelling of
Mrs. William E. Lord, a widow, who
lived alone on Main street, Friday
night. The house was nailed up by
Sheriff Beck on Saturday and a guard
put in charge to see that no one en-
tered the place.
Sheriff Beck, with the States At
torney, visited the house and found
that there had been eight separate
fires started inside of it. most of them
had gained considerable headway.
when a neighbor discovered one of
them burning through to the outside
at the back part Of the kitchen, gave
the alarm and quickly trained his yard
hose on it. The towns fire depart
ment was on hand In a few minutes
and all the fires soon were extin-

although much kerosene oil had been
poured on the floors and upon piles
