ECONOMY IN
CLOTHES
By Rita Stuyvesant.

TVERY young girl loves pretty
II, underwear, and especially at
this season she is planning
for Summer days. There is a con-
siderable saving II the undergar-
ments are made at home. and they
may be. practical as well as pretty.
1t is cheaper to buy the material
by the piece and cut several gar
ments at once. The Spring sales are
offering some wonderful bargains
in white goods. and bits Of lace and
ribbon can always be found reason
able.
To wear under sheer Summer
frocks there Is an ew, smart pet
ticoat of heavy white pique. Every
girl knows how embarrassing 1t Is
to stand in the Summer sunlight
with a thin petticoat on that is real
transparent. The pique is Just
heavy enough to prevent shadows"
and yet it hangs nicely. a smart
model that is well liked is cut
rather scant with A seam IN tho
back. The top IS finished with an
elastic run through a casing. while
the bottom Is cut In pretty scaI!oys
thread. A few largo dots between
the scallOps make a dainty trim
ming.
Another practical shadow PROOF
model may be cut from white
sateen. A finely plated founce at
tached by a row Of hemstltchIng
lengthens the skirt. or gathered
ruffle may be used instead For
those who must have a biz OF lace
and ribbon n row Of lace beading
with ribbon drawn through can
head the nounce.
To wear under sheer bIousks there
are the da!ntiest camisoIcs made
from wide ribbon and lace. These
are very simple TO make and any
young girl can fashion them her
self at home. For q slim girl only
one yard of ribbon Will be needed
or one and one-quarter -yards II
she is plump. Gather the bottom
Of tho ribbon into IL lace beading
threaded with pale pink or b.us
ribbon. A band OF lace and beading
also finishes the top. which is rib
bon trlbbed. The regulation STRAPS
OF either ribbon or lace are used
over the shoulders while the front
closes with a fly" snd tiny but
tons. This dainty camisole affords
an excellent opportunity to use odd
bits Of silk. ribbon or lace nnedaI-
lions. They may all be fitted to-
gether artistically to make a con-
Bervation camisole.
Bloomers promise to ba very
popular this season for young girls
and arc appreciated by those who
are tired" Of the envelope chamlse.
Washable satin. crepe de chine or
plain pink batiste are all suitable
A very economical yet pretty mir
OF bloomers can he made Of mini,

at the sides.

Of the ends and l think you could get

divided in three or four sections with
seats running clear across them facing
each other; you can seat eight or ten
in two seats and then your feet get
mixed up SO you see it is a very poor
place for any one who has corns. The
engines are very small, nearly every
one wants one for a watch fob. Most
OF the people drink wine and it is very
sour stuff and we do not get along
very good together as you know.
The French money is as odd as the
people; you get lot of coins, some
large and some small and some with
holes In the center and some paper,
which is all Latin to you at first. Al

make dollar. The boys never ask

CASH AND CHECKS STOLEN AT
NIGHT WHEN DRUGGIST AND
WIFE ARE AWAY.
TAKE REVOLVER FROM SAFE
Cash Drawer Also RlfIed-Only
Cents Left Out of Hundreds
of Dollars

The Lamm drug store in Grangeville
was entered between 1880 and 11:3G
Tuesday night and robbed of $3.50, in
Guiding $175 in currency and $175 in

volver. Most of the cash procured and
checks and the revolver were taken from

ride. The store was entered from the
rear, where screen was removed and
an unlocked window raised.
Safe Door Unlocked.
Mr.. Lamm had left the safe door
open, and, inasmuch as all lights had been
extinguished in the store by Mr.. Lamm
before his departure, it was no difficult
matter for the robber or robbers to pro-
cure the money, practically all of which
was Ill q pouch IN q drawer OF the safe. /
1t is the belief of Mr.. Lamm that per-
sons were stationed across the street |

rency included three $40 bills.
The robbery was discovered imme-
lately Mr.. and Mrs. Lamm returned
home and the officers were notified.
They conducted a search lasting almost
