NEW YORK.-Looking at the sit
N uation from the point OF waist
age, one wonders why there are
so many separate shirtwaists in every
shop They are heaped by the dozens
on the shelves, they are mounted on

wooden figures; they are spread over
counters by the hundreds, and yet,
when one goes in the street, into res
taurants, private houses and theaters,
there is no sign OF separate blouse,
except NAT here and there one sees
such waist peeping from beneath the
lapels OF the coat or one catches a
glimpse OF white cuff when the waist
Of the sleeve moves away from the
hand
Naturally, when the hot weather
comes, when women are in the open
playing golf and tennis sitting on
country porches and moving about in
the hot sunshine, they will wear white
shirtwaists, These wilt be half COW
cred by sleeveless sweaters and silk
jackets. They will be part of a cos
tune which carries a white wooden OF
Jersey skirt; but they are not in evi-
dence wherever women are congregated
in large quantities at this season OF
the year.
There are as many Jacket suits as
ever, but as the coat is not removed
the shirtwaist IS not a necessary ad-
junct.
Coat Part OF Costume.
Once upon a time when the dictum
went forth that it was not considered
smart for a woman TO take off her
Jacket in public place women thought
that fashion was becoming too die.

disobeyed for two years or more. Their

SOLICITOR ]. R. TATE GIVES VIEWS ON THE
 SUNDAY BLUE LAWS

There has been much speculation dur ing the week as to the course that would
 be followed today in regard to the Sun day blue laws.
 Neither the sheriff nor the constables are committing themselves on the subject
 the queries meeting with the reply that
 the law would be upheld in every re- (Srect and that violators would be ar
 rested should they be seen doing so by the officers.
 Many of the garages and drug stores. as well as soft drink stands. have an- nounced their intention of remaining open today, and it is thought that Sunday will be observed as nearly like the cus- tomafy one as possible
 Solicitor Joseph R. Tate made the fol- lowing statement last night, in which he sets forth his views of the law and the possibility of it's rigid observance, and also places a limit upon it's nonobserv- ance
 "Yes the telephone has been kept busy for several days making inquiries about the Sunday business. There seems to be some misunderstanding as to it., and in order to relieve the situation I want to advise that it will be expected that all retail grocery stores, or places where groceries are kept, or sold will be closed on Sunday No curtains, sliding doors, folding doors or other kind of doors, I or temporary partitions, constructed as l a subterfuge, opening out of any soft l drink place will be permitted. In other
 words, it is expected that all such stores will close, and this means all who han de or keep groceries in any part of the same building. Constables and deputy | sheriffs, as well as police officers, are I requested to arrest all persons keeping omen such stores.'

 Celebrate the Coming

Emphasis was laid on the fact that before the chautauqua under took to put on any programme at Il this year. they consulted the cabinet of President Wilson, who decided that by |all means the chautauaua platform should be retained during the war as one of the most effective publicity arms in support of the war. For that reason, the chief speakers. such as Sir John Foster Fraser, Capt. George Campbell and Frank l.. Milholland. are among the headliners this year.
 Secretary Manager c. l.. Harold of the Civic association and Secretary C. B. Lloyd of the Rotary club arranged yesterday for the Rotary club to join
 in boosting the chautauqua this year and probably arrangements will be made for a big luncheon complimentary to MT. Mulholland. who is the ex-presi- dent of the International Association of Rotary clubs. The chautauqua will hold afternoon and evening performances. Besides the educational features. there will be music and songs by celebrities. "The Chocolate Soldier IS the musical feature of the season.

Southern Hospitality
 Extended to Soldiers

A detachment of soldiers passing through Birmingham yesterday were given a sample of southern hospitality when they were entertained at the Young Mems Christian association and given a reception by a coterie of young society girls under the chaperonage or Mrs. Jelks Cabaniss. The boys were
 decorated with flowers and supplied with cigarettes and other light luxur- ies and were escorted from the Y. M. c. A. building to the Terminal station by the delegation of girls. The boys showed their appreciation of the courte- Isies extended by their enthusiasm and as they followed their fair escorts to the station sang patriotic songs that would have filled the Kaiser with des- pair could he have heard them. At leaving, the boys expressed their deep appreciation of the attentions shown them at the hands of the r. M. c. A. and the chaperon and her fair charges

MANY ALABAM|ANS
 IN FRANCE NOT IN
 RAINBOW DIVISION
Governor Henderson Re- minds People of Other Fighters From the State
 Besides Men of 167th

Montgomery. May 25.-(Special) Alabama has twice as many soldiers in France now as the number which went across last year with the Rain bow division, according to information obtained by Governor Henderson and made public Saturady. He gave this information with the request that this state should not continue to refer to this states representation in France as the 167th regiment of the Rainbow division as this does an injustice to the thousands of other soldiers who are now in France attached to other regiments.
 Because the 167th regiment was the first to go across. many citizens of Alabama have this regiment fixed deeply in mind as the states only rep resentation and this does an injustice to the other soldiers" said Governor Henderson. q am informed that this state now has two times as many sol diers in France as crossed with the Rainbow division. These men are ou- ing their part and in justice to them I hope the people of Alabama will dis continue the practice of giving full and general credit to the 167th resi- ment. Of course, this regiment was the vanguard of the Alabam troops but now that others have gone across and others will continue to go across until the end of the war, it is an in- justice to them to be continually talk ing about the states regiment of the Rainbow division and making no ref sTence to others who are doing their part"
 Little notice has been given to the Alabama soldiers who have crossed re- gently because of the new plan of tho war department whereby new organ 1zations are formed and no state has as much as one regiment in any diNis- ion. At present, men from all sec tions of the country are formed into a division in order that no section may suffer severe loss when the organ ization goes into battle

I |allude to the Saint Gaudens estate at Cornish. N. H.. near Windsor, Vt.
 Augustus Saint Gaudens was one of the pioneers of the remarkable little colony that has since settled in summer among the Cornish hills. He went there first in 1885. and from that year until his death in 1907 spent much O. his time at "Aspet," which name he gave his place in memory of the village in which his father was born, but few miles from the town of Saint-Guadens near the base of the Pyrenees.
 To reach his home you leave the Will son Road tas the road from Winsdor has come to be called since it was iTn- proved during the Presidents soJoura in Cornish a year or two ago( at point About two miles from the bridge that spans the.
