Perhaps the most eminent man at
the French bar in the sixteenth CEN
fury was. Gui de Faur, seigneur de Pr
brac, who died May 81, 1884. At the
council of Trent he sustained with dis
tinction and great eloquence the inter-
ests of the French crown and the lib
critics of the Gallican church. His
state services were many, and he
added to them the composition Of
"Moral Quatrains," which parents for
ages after used to make their children
learn by heart. He was remarkable
for the amiableness Of his character ;
yet he was the victim Of religious
bigptry, and as proof Of this 1t need
only be recited that this kindly man,
this amlable lawyer who reformed the
French bar, was so led away by what
might be termed religious fanaticisIn
that he wrote an apology for the Bar
tholomew massacre.

The
June Offering
By LILY WANDEL

'These roses" murmured Aunt
Blanca whimsically, as she strolled
with her niece through the flaming
flower garden, "seem to inspire me
every year at this blooming time-in-
spire me to do something kind, some
thing particularly beneficent. Do they
make you think the same way, Car

'They make me think Of love and
brides, these darling June roses"
laughed the girl, blushing prettily.
The aunt smiled. perhaps when I
was your age / connected roses and
June with brides and love, too. But
now, since many years, love takes a
broader sense, more a love Of human
ity In general and big desire to make
some one very happy every june"
"How good, how lovelyw enthused
the niece, softly.
"Good?, Lovelyr' almost cynically.
1.-THE intention, yes, but-Carlotta, do
you know that every single June Of

"Failure?" repeated the girl Incredu-
lousy. "Why, how do you meanf"
Take last June for an instance"
demonstrated Aunt Blanca YEARLY;
Though had vowed the year before
not to try again, with the roses came
the old delightful spell and felt urged
to make somebody happy. There was

y IBBONs, have always played a
IN prominent part in the apparel Of
women, but they were never so impor-
tant as they are now. Their manufac-
turers look to the ingenuity Of design
ers of dress accessories, Of millinery
and Of innumerable pretty furnishings
to extend the demand for their prod
ucts, and these designers have accom-
plished more than was expected Of
them. The beauty Of the ribbons
themselves, proves an inspiration and
they have long since ceased to be used
merely as decorations. In millinery
they make entire hats and have for
several seasons, SO that the ribbon hat
has an established place which it will
continue to fill. IL
BY way Of showing what can be
done with 1t in the hands Of artists,
several stars in our American firma-
ment Of dress creators have embodied
ribbons in summer frocks-and in all
sorts Of frOcks-for morning, after
noon and evening. The results were

SO good that the idea will carry over
we shall find ribbons in the styles for
fall. 1t was at its best in summary
afternoon and evening dresses and an
adorable example for either afternoon
or evening wear appears in the dress
illustrated. 1t is Of lace flouncing, on
net foundation, with very wide and
very soft satin ribbon forming part Of
the bodice and skirt drapery. The
ribbon is shirred in four little tucks at
the front and in a single shirring at
the side where 1t forms full panniers
and falls in two long ends from under
them. A few little blossoms made of
narrow ribbon and having millinery
centers, find resting place on the
flounces, and the same blossoms set
in border and rows on filmy para
sol make it sister to the lovely frock.
After the accomplishments Of these
artists in summer frocks, curiosity
makes whatever they will present for
fall already interesting to the fashion
reporter.

fix her allegiance upon the all-white

veil Of chiffon instead OF tulle. Pre-

chiffon veil embroidered in silver
roses and edged with pearl beads,

uncovered face through slit at the

CAR SHORTAGE HURTS ALASKA
 FISH TRADE
Manager of National Inde- pendent Fisheries Returns
 And Gives Views on Fish

That the halibut market will soon be in better shape is the opinion of Sam Morris, Juneau representa- tive of the National Independent Fisheries Co.,
 MT. Morris returned to Juneau on the Princess Mary Tuesday night after having made a hurried trip to Seattle Mrs. Morris who ac- companied her husband South, left Seattle on her way to a visit to her former home in England.
 According to MT. Morris who in vestigated the ha!ibut situation quite thoroughly, the main trouble has been that there have been no cars available either out of Prince Ru- pert or Seattle on which to ship fish east. It has been a continual struggle at both these places to get refrigerator cars and many times it was not possible to secure them.
 As 1t was not possible to ship out of these ports the demand for
