WORTH REEVES INTEREST IN
SPOTTED MUSLIN.
Shows Some Wonderful Effects In
Young Girls indoor Frocks-lin-
en- and Taffeta Costumes In
Blue Are Popular.

Worth has revived interest In fine
spotted muslin. This delightful artist
has, of recent years, made rather
speciality of y. ng girls indoor
frocks, and in this connection he mas
done wonderful things with cobweb
muslin, dotted over with black spots.
narrow bands of black velvet ribbon
and real valenciennes lace inser-
lions.
Some effective muslins have recent
ly been seen which showed heliOtrOpe
and black spots on white ground,
and others which had rather large
white spots thrown against back
ground Of eggshell-blue. These spot
ted musllns are worn over plated,
or gathered, understands made OF
mousseline de sole, and one almost
always finds an important looking
sash playing an important role In
the dress scheme. Black velvet RID
bon sashes are again popular.
These are worn with muslin. linen
or lace frocks. Shot taffeta sashes are
also very much in evidence. Doucet
is combining plain linen with spotted
muslin in a highly successful way.
For instance, a model intended for
the Biarritz season which had full
skirt of white spotted muslin mount
ed over shell-pink pOngee and
sleeveless cOatee of shell-pink linen.
The coatee was fastened up to the
throat with little pink quartz buttons
and there was wide ceinture OF
heliotrope suede worked over with sill
yer threads.
This costume, which was extremely
pretty, was accompanied by shady
hat made of white pedal straw ana
lined with heliotrope linen. The high
crown was circled by trail OF black
berries and rambler roses. Flowered
muslins and thin silks are also COM
bined with plain linen. In fact 1t
may be said that linen is combined
with every possible and impossible
material. In one of my recent articles
spoke in detail Of the effective linen
and taffeta costumes which the Parish
an tailors are making for midsummer
wear.
In various shades Of blue, light ana
dark, these linen and taffeta costumes
are amazingly popular. l have also

The size Of the case to certain
extent will depend upon the size OF
the articles 1t has to contain. For the

lined with strong linen and bound at
the edges with narrow ribbon, but
prior to doing this the pockets must
be sewn in place.
They. too, are made Of strong linen

to enable those articles to be easily
slipped into them.

Rooster Kills Snake.

J. s. Sullivan, a Delaware counAJ
farmer, known for his verac1cy,
vouches for the truth of story con-
corning the defeat of six-foot black
snake by game rooster in his hen
house a few mornings ago. According
to Sullivan, the snake crawled into
the chicken shed and before 1t could be
interfered with. grabbed one of fam
lily of thirteen chicks mOthered by
hen. The hen flew at the snake In an
effort TO rescue the unfortunate men,
Der of her brood, but retired when the
gallant game cock. feathers ruftied and
comb erect. rushed in and attacked the
reptile boldly with his spurs. The bat
tie ragged for fifteen minutes, according
to Sullivan. and at the end the black
snake lay dead with two neat spur
punctures through his brain. Then the
little game rooster strutted around the
barn lot cockily and since has refused
to have anything to do with other mem"
bers Of the Sullivan flock.

and In deep purple.
Taffeta coates, worn over plated
linen skirts, will be ubiquitous this
summer at Biarritz and San Sebastian.
These coates are made in variety
of different forms, but in almost all
cases they are short, with very full
basques and elbow sleeves.
Cobalt-blue is the latest shade for
taffeta coates. Another fashionable
color is deep orange yellow. Very
lovely muslin gowns, for afternoon
wear, are made of lemon-yellow muslin

Table Mats AGAIN,

And now enters the vogue Of table
mats again! In certain surroundings
and under certain circumstances these
mats are good looking. They are braid
ed from chintz in paisley patternings
and are easily made. The chintz Is
torn into inch-wide strips, braided
carefully, so that all raw edges are
folded in and the braid rolled into
round or oval mats, from few inches
in diameter to larger sizes. Probably
the best place for such mats is the
room with furnishings on colonial
lines. They might also fit in with the
new painted cottage furniture. which
is far from formal, but quaint.

Boudoir Capes.

An interesting rumor from Paris
has it that for the lady of leisure who
likes to sip her chocolate or coffee
abed there is a new little cape made
of silk, or cretonne, or lilsen in pat

paper or hangings of the bedroom.
The cape is thrown about the semi
nude shoulders while the wearer par
takes of her simple breakfast. There

ASSISTANT SECRETARY TENNEs-
SEE BOARD OF HEALTH, BACK
FROM THE EAST.
INVESTIGATES THE DISEASE
Or. Shoulders Says That Much Prog
ress Made In intelligently Hand
ling the observation-disclosures
Hospital Methods.

-INdSuNlAO'
Declaring that much progress had
been made in the effort to intelligent
ly handle poliomyelitis, popularity call
ed infantile paralysis, DR.. H. H. Shout
ders, assistant secretary Of the Ten
nessee board of health, returned from
a study and investigation of the dis
case which is epidemic in New York
City and which has stricken victims in
great numbers in Philadelphia and
other eastern cities.
Dr. Shoulders was in New York City,
the seat of the greatest ravages OF
the disease, for several days, and had
opportunity to study the disease In
all it's phases. He visited all the hos
pitfalls which are in use and gave close
attention to the treatment OF the pa
tents by the specialists who are bat
Ting so hard to control it.
From New York he went to Wash
ington and there was in conference
with the u S. government public
health officials and medical officers
from many states, as there are very
few states in the Union in which the
disease is not to be found. But few
states have it in anything like cpl
demic form.
IN investigating the cases in the
New York hospitals DR.. Shoulders was
impressed with the fact that very
great majority of the victims were
about three years Of age. The origin
of the epidemic in New York was In
the Italian quarter in Brooklyn, and
now cases are to be found all over
the great city.
Working on the disease are some OF
the most expert men in the profession
and every agency is being used to de-
termine it's cause and to supply treat
ment. The germ of the disease has
not yet been located, but experiments
are still being made to discover the
fern.
The treatment generally runs eight
weeks, and DR.. Shoulders points out
that contrary to the general belief for
required to be inactive and calm. The
serum treatment, the incubation be-
ing the same as in spinal meningitis,
is used at present.
The general impression prevails
that paralysis follows every case, but
such is not a fact It has been proved
that there are two forms of poliomye-
ltis, non-paralytic and paralytic. New
York has had up to date $500 cases.
The common belief that exposure to
paralytic was the cause OF the spread
of the disease has been disproved by
investigation, which showed that only
about 20 per cent of the cases were
traced to exposure.
There was an accepted idea at the
outset that the negro race was not
susceptible to the disease, but that
has been dissipated by facts.
