Just what will happen to the pongee
street suit this year is question that
receives a very satisfactory answer
In the latest arrival in that line. It
Is street suit in which pongee in the
natural color Is bordered with the
same silk in black. Those who aspire
to smart styles for midsummer will
recognize an excellent achievement in
this combination. Black used in Just
the right proportion with sedate colors
gives them a distinction that nothing
can excel.
In this suit the skirt is forerunner
Of promised styles for autumn. 1t is
little shorter than spring models. It
hangs in the most uncompromising of
straight lines, emphasized by box
plaits, very thoroughly pressed into
place. The black pongee is set against
the natural light ecru color in border
about eight inches wide.
The coat is plain as to it's body, with
a panel effect at the front, below the
belt, which is of pongee. There are
fat pockets at each side, faced with
black at the top and cut in a diagonal
across the bottom. Straight cuffs.

For every day and out of doors the
little miss In city or country cannot
have anything better suited to her
needs than the plain gingham dress
pictured here. 1t Is cut on boyish
lines and worn over bloomers of the
same material. It has a panel down
the front, buttoning to one side with
white buttons and striped collar, cuffs,
and belt Of gingham in the same color
Of the dress, with white stripes.
There are some less robust, but very
useful and pretty little dresses made
Of chambray'in pink or. blue, light yell
low and pale green, with short bodlces
of white dimity and the chambray
skirts either plated or shlrred on to
them. Their charms for the youthful
are REINFORCED by pockets enticingly
decorated with little chicks, or birds,
or even baby rabbits and squirrels,
done in cross-stitch embroidery. Sleeves
In these dresses are short, sim-
pie needlework stitches, the best liked
Of all embellishments. Cross-stitch,
feather stitch, buttonhole stitch, and
Just plain running stitches In colored
cotton, seem exactly suited to the
childish air Of these little frocks.

When all's said and done it's a nice
thing to be able to throw a dress you
have played golf in all day bodily into
the soapsuds, and that is why plaid
gingham is having such success at
fashionable golf links. These cotton
dresses are as simple as can be made
shirtwaist style, with rather scant
skirts tucked so that they hold their
place. Some have Turkish petticoats
beneath Of the same material or Of
milanese silk in color to match the

turned back at the top, are faced with
black also. The wide epaulette collar
is cut into revers at the front and bor-
dered with black across the back. In
the buttons the order of things is re-
versed and the natural pongee becomes
the border. They fasten under loops
Of silk.
Just the right sort Of hat for this
suit might be either panama or
bangkok trimmed with overlapping
bows of narrow ribbon. like that shown

TWELFTH EPISODE

Contractor Dawson sat with his head
bowed in his hands. He had failed.
The date set for the completion Of the
Shady Creek extension of the Valley
railway under contracts with Rupert
Holmes had passed and the road
lacked fifteen miles of being finished.
Against every sort of treachery that
the subtle and INSCRIPTIONS mind Of
Holmes could bring to bear, and in
spite Of tremendous natural obstacles,
Dawson and his men had done Won
ders in building grade through the
difficult country of Onawa valley, but
almost was not quite. They had been
retarded by the difficulty of obtaining
men for which Holmes and bis minions
were responsible. Now the subcOn-
tractors were demanding their pay and
Holmes had refused to settle on the
basis of the work already done or to
grant an extension of time.
II think we've got 'em this time"
grinned the lumber magnate, as he sat
in his sumptuously furnished Office in
conference with Behrens, his chief of
staff, and Jim Blake, the ex-dive-
keeper.
''The trouble with them guys" inter-
posed Behrens, lingering the rim of
characteristic Of him, ais that you
never know when you've got EN-"
"Well," snarled Holmes, "what are
they going to do about 1t? The con-
tract calls for completion by the fif-
leenth. The work isn't done. The last
half of it has been 'scamped' anyhow,
and 1 wouldn't accept it under any
circumstances"
"But under the law" Behrens went
on, 'you've got to pay the bill for
work completed, contract or no con-
tract. Workmen's liens will tie up the
cash anyhow. If they go ahead and
finish the job the courts will order the
work paid for in the long run"
"What more do we want?" grinned
the millionaire, with a gesture of i'm
patience. "Just to tie the thing up in
the courts for six months will be
epough and then some"
Big Bill Dawson, sitting with bowed
head, beaten man, knew very well
the malign force with which he had
to contend.
II guess well have to give 1t up,
groaned Dawson; ''it's hard lines, but
anyhow Holmes will have to pay of
the crews. They've earned their mon
ey and I've got to see that they gel
1t when they quit, irrespective Of any
personal sacrifice"
Helen and her foster father had beer

with an air of determination.

ton. not fault finding. lis now the duty
of Americans.
The extent Of the opposition In GER
tain parts of the country to the se-
lective draft plan of raising an army
Is, tn my opinion. greatly exagger-
ated. In my state of Mississippi
some of the most influential and dis
tinguished men opposed the draft.
They believed that the voluntary
system was the wisest, best and most
patriotic. Speeches supporting that
view have been widely circulated In
the state. But Mississippians are
thoroughly reconciied to the law and
recognize In the main it's squareness
and justice and It's wisdom. Since the
measure became law L have received
only two letters either protesting
against 1t or seeking exemption from
It's operation.
Whatever may have been ones
Judgment between the relative merits

administration of the law as it is.

Americans who are to do our fight
ing. The only way 10 bring victory
to our armies and the armies of our
allies is by united and enthusiastic
cooperation by all Americans with
every branch of our government The
sooner we act, the more unitedly we
act. the more effectively we act, the
less the cost will be to us in money
and in lives.
The manner of raising our army is
established by law. Criticism of the
law now by men high in public life
can do no good, but ii may do much
harm. 1t may dampen the ardor and
enthusiasm of those who must enter
our army under that law. and the
dampening Of the enthusiasm and
ardor of our soldier boys is to that
extent a blow against the govern
ment. Critics of the selective draft
encourage defiance of the law in the
face of the present crisis. They have
not the interest of sthe country at
heart and are unworthy to be classed
as American citizens.
The president of the United States

the gravest and most responsible du-
ties. In the administration of new
and untried laws and the operation
of the greatly increased military and
naval forces of the country, together

whose duties and functions are to
