Some time before the days of mid
summer have really arrived, merchants
assemble stocks of silk street suits,
ready to be presented when the first
hot day comes. These midsummer
suits are almost untrimmed, but are
carefully designed and distinguished
by smart s~tyle-touches and niceties OF
finish that place them close to the
formal suit class. Clever women
sometimes take their graceful but
plain salts and tone them up with a
little effective hand work, but even
without that, they are equal to almost
any demand.
There are many pretty suits of heavy
taffetas and of gros-de-londre in the
displays. One of the new taffeta suits
is shown in the picture and it could
hardly be simpler or palmer, but it is
remarkably good style. The coat opens
to the bust line, differing from earlier
STYLES which were open to the waist
line. 1t has a short, fiaring skirt por-
ton with three plaits at each side and
a little dip in front, all very crisp
and spirited. Flat, white pearl but
tons fasten it. They invite the addi-
ton of a white pique vestee and col
lar and white cuffs. Altogether they

with edges of lace and more or less
elaborate embroidery. Such covers
may be washed while those others
must, of course, be dry cleaned when
soiled. When one wishes to indulge
in the luxury of reading in bed in ones
'chaise Tongue these little pillows are
found to add much to ones comfort.
Often, too, one does not care for the
ordinary sized pillow to sleep'on, but
finds one of these little down-flled af,
fairs a comfortable possession.-Chris-

Sixty-seven inspectors of the bureau

the army inspecting the meat and meat
products supplied for the soldiers and
30 others are similarly engaged with

animals are driven into the slaughter

is delivered in good condition to the

interferes with quick delivery, that
causes shipments to be delayed, quite
often means loss. The principal live
stock producing sections are a long dis
lance from the principal meat-consum-

them dependent almost entirely upon
adequate transportation facilities to
keep supplied with fresh meat at any
