Raspberry, Lemon and Almond
Are New COlorS for
Summer.
oruandle Is UnequaIed for Thin Gar
ements, Because Delicate Tints
Appear Frosted.


There doesn't need to be anything
very new about a thing so utterly sat
isfactory as summer frock, notes
New York fashion writer. 1t need not
be tour de force of the dressmaker's
art; less than any other dress does 1t
need to be intricate, elaborate, sophis-
ticated. It is at it's best when it is a
very simple thing, uncomplicated by
thoughts of new lines, ultra modes,
latest DEGREES from Paris. 1t need only
be something to express the individu-
atty Of the wearer, and to make every
one who looks upon her feel cool and
crisp and rested. It should be cloud
rather than a dress, a cooling color
that somehow-perhaps by means of
its sash or its shoulder straps-stays
all in one place when one would ex-
pect it to dissolve into thin air and
float away, says Vogue. Organdie is
unequaled for thin frocks, because
delicate colors in this material appear
frosted. Raspberry, lemon, almond
these are the new colOrs for summer
frocks, the colors which suggest the
rich or delicate tones Of fruit.
Just off Fifth avenue there is little
shop which is making a speciality of
summer frOcks-es especially those that
one naturally associates with after
noon tea or garden party. They are
shown in wide range Of materials,
which embody all the new shades. The
designs are quite simple, and, what is
more, quite suitable for summer morn
ings or afternoons. One is agreeably
surprised upon entering this shop and
examining the merchandise to find
ready-made summer dresses that tub
well, displaying handiwork and those
dainty touches that usually accom-
pany the made-tO-order dress.
Striped handkerchief linen was used
for a dress made up along rather tai
lored lines. This model is especially
pleasing to the women VINO prefer
plain smart frocks for morning wear.
Cuffs and collar are of white organ
die, bound with an edging Of the linen
cut on the bias.
This is one of those touches that
give dresses a unique charm. The tie
of the crgandie is finished in the same
manner. This dress is entirely hand
made. One may have it in striped
linen in different shades, in plain
white or in plain color.

the high cost Of living. Even those
who are obliged to live in apartments
or flats may, with little work, raise.
a variety of good things. A barrel has
proven good garden for strawber-
ries, and itehas also grown cucumbers
and radishes. Cucumbers may be
grown on rack, and if we'll watered
will grow quite a crop. Fill the barrel
with well-rotted horse manure, and be
sure to water the ground, not the
plant.
Large flower urns are another fine
place to start an early crop of vege-
tables. The crop may all be gone by
the time it is warm enough to set out
the geraniums and foliage plants.
Parsley and chives may be grown in
the kitchen window all the year round,
making plenty Of the flavor for all
the dishes one wishes to garnish and
season.
For the leaf lettuce a bed three feet
square will supply the average family
with all the lettuce needed. As IL Is
used, sow more seed and have fresh
crisp lettuce all the season. For the
head lettuce moTe room will be needed
but it pays for all the time and trou.
bic Of transplanting.
Those who are not crowded for room
should have an asparagus bed, for
when it begins to produce it is a JOY
forever. A strawberry bed is another
desirable addition to the garden. with
little care and transplanting one may
keep a bed for years.

AN OVER-THE-sNRT BLOUSE
Garment for Summer Wear Is Made Of
Sheer Cotton Wolfe and Hand
kerehlef Linen.

IT is no longer necessary to empha-
size the fact that the long costume or
smock blouse has a preferential place
in the lineup of fashionable garments.
The question now is not at all whether
the long blouse is fashionable but
rather one Of putting as much origi-
nality as possible into its designing
and development. This type of blouse
proves a great aid to the woman who
wants to make over a last season
frock, using just the best portions Of
1t. The simplest sort Of skirt is al
ways the best selection as an accom-
paniment Of the costume blouse, and
as gay eolorings predominant in many
Of these blOuses the skirt may be Of
any color.
The long blouse shown for summer
wear is made Of sheer cotton wolfe,
cotton novelty fabrics and lovely hand
kerehief linen in white and colors.
Elbow and three-quarter length
sleeves are decidedly approved by
American designers and by the women
themselves.
American designers are always fe-
verishIy anxious to know what styles
the French are showing they
are recommending, etc, but for sew
era1 seasons there has been a very
noteworthy tendency on the part of
American fashion designers to accept
more suggestions from the French
houses and these to a large extent are
modified and Americanized.
There is no denying that Paris first
brought out the long blouse and that
we have been a long time in accept
ing it. This very thing helps to prove
that no longer does the American
dressmaker and style designer blindly
follow any leader.

CFOR YOUR AcID-sToMAcD
KNEW THAT WOULD STOP HIM
Lawyer Evidently Was Well Ae-
quainted With the Weakness of
His Long-Winded Friend.

G. II. Murphy relates the story of a
Philadelphia lawyer, retired, who, in
the days Of his active practice, was
notorious for his long-windedness.
On one occasion he had been spout
ing forth his concluding argument for
six hours, and the end was nowhere
in sight, when the opposing attorney
beckoned his associate and whispered:
"Can't you stop him, Jack?"
"Pll stop him in two minutes" Jack
replied confidently. And he wrote
and passed to the orator the following
note:
my Dear Colonel-As soon as you
finish your magnificent argument /
would like you to join me at the ho-
tel in a bumper of rare old Bourbon"
The lawyer halted in the midst of
ia. impassioned period, put on his
glasses, and read the note that had
beenAhanded him, then he removed his
glasses again and, taking up his hat
and bag, he said:
"And now, may it please the court
and gentlemen Of the jury, leave the
case with you"
A minute later he was proceeding in
stately fashion in the direction of the
hotel bar.

If you have opportunity to notice
the meat bills Of the cook who buys
meats which take little time to pre-
pare, like steaks, outlets and chops,
you will find that they are much lar
ger than those of the cook who buys
pot roasts, stews, soup meat and the
cheaper cuts. A small piece of meat
added to a large quantity of vege-
tables will give favor to them and the
amount of meat will never be noticed,
As meat is the great item in many
families, costing as much as it does
today, it is needful that all house.
wives take serious thought and do
much planning to furnish their fami-
lies with nourishing food with the
amount they have to spend upon it.
When a tough piece of meat has
been purchased, rub it well with olive
oil or corn oil, add little chopped
parsley and bay leaf with a few
tabIespoonfuls of vinegar. Let the
meat lie in this overnight, then drain
and brown the meat, add the vinegar
and some water and let it simmer
until tender at a low heat on the back
part of the stove.
BY buying staples, such as sugar,
early in the season when it is usually
2 to 8 cents less a pound, one can
provide the years supply at quite a
saving. Canned goods OF all kinds
can be bought at saving when taken
By the dozen or case. However, If

freely, the saving viii be lost

I think that shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth Is prest
Against the worlds sweet flowing
breast.
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by folks like me-
But only God can make tree.

Falls softly on my heart with sooth-

Pleading for man.
She is my wife, if love is life's author.
Guardian and friend,
Guiding my feet from the pitfalls of
Fen to the end.
When she is far, my heart is sore op-

And sadly beats against my weary

Like prisoned bird that seeks its dis.

With restless wing.

But down the opening aisles of fu-

Be by my side to quell the rising tears
That flow from hidden springs of
doubts and fears
Within my breast.

MORE TALES OF
We OLDEN TIMES
Mr.. Editor:

No doubt when the first prospect
or wandered up O-Be-Joyful Gulch,
prodding his two burros. loaded with
a sack of flour, slab of bacon, frying
pan. coffee pot. pick, shovel, AK, bed
ding, etc, that he was in a happy
90 Be Joyful. o. Be Joyful" for the
grandure of the scenery was sublime
and awe inspiring. Those high, rug
gcd bluffs. with the cataracts ard
rivulets of water trickling down
spraying the beds of flowers that
grow right up to snow banks.
The prospector thought that the
ruler of the universe was so gener-
Gus and lavish in the display OF ma
ture's beauty, that surely there must
be room in those rugged mountains
for the bonanza metals that he so
eagerly seeks and SO seldom finds.
After prospecting for month
without finding the coveted prize. his
burros having waxed fat from the
fine grass while the prospector had
grown near to poverty by using up
his grub. took another hitch In his
waist belt, wended his way out of
the gulch. full of gloom and disap-
pointment. When he got out of o.
Be Joyful. which is the name that
has stuck to that gulch to this day
he turned north and the first gulch
he came to he went up it. and he
called it Poverty Guich. which was
typical of his well being at that mo
ment. Strange to relate Poverty
Gulch was more generous in yielding
up the precious metal than the COM
panion gulch of O-Be-Joyful His
tory does record that in the eighties
a number of prospectors produced
ore and were developed up to that
point that they might be classed as
mines, while O'-Be-Joyful has never
produced much ore. unless in later
years. Mrs. Geo. A. Russ and the
Pennington Bros. have opened bo-
nanza mines. I have always thought
the ore was there. but no one has
persistently worked to find it except
the parties mentioned, and surely
should be rewarded for their patient
efforts.
At the head of Poverty gulch the
Augusta produced high grade silver
and was looked upon as a promising
mine at one time. No wagon road
could be built to it and it was only
reached by burros. The trail was so
steep that saddle horse would have
difficulty in getting there, and bird
would become dizzy in flying over
the rugged peaks. Miners who
worked in the winter had to be pro-
visioned and stay there, for at times
it was worth a mans life to leave
there and escape the snow slides, to
reach the outside world.
Withal quantity of ore was pro-
duced of high grade silver for several
seasons and brought down on burros
1t was sight to behold to see a
hundred or two jacks all loaded with
ore, zigzaggfng down the mountain.
Such scenes are not visible to the
present generation is the reason we
call attention to it at this time, for
should it ever become necessary to
ship ore from these places in the fu-
ture it will be brought down by aero
planes.
