Midsummer Reactions i'm Fashions
BY MARY MARSHALL.

into favor in the Spring. have already
begun to look a little trite. Many OF
them still look charming, but they have
lost something Of their first strong APP
peal And that is why. as an example
of one of the midseason reactions, there
are new dresses made of solid-colored
materials-pastel shades as well as
darker colors-that give an inkling OF
the new color fashions for Autumn.
Another reaction that has made it
self apparent is that in favor of long
sleeved sports dresses. There really are
women who do not choose to become
tanned like berries, and other women
who, having acquired an even coat OF
tan, do not care to have 1t become any
deeper in hue. For these women there
are new sports dresses made with long
sleeves and high-cut backs.
There are new camisoles made to be
worn under light dresses that do not
need full-length slips. These camisoles
fasten in the back and are very easy to
make. If you will send your stamped,
self addressed envelope to Mary Mar
shall, care of this paper, the diagram
pattern and working directions will be
forwarded to you at once.

Don't Blame It All on Money.

A good many childless mothers blame
their lack of family on corresponding
lack Of the wherewithal to raise a fam
lily. We feel this excuse is sometimes
far fetched. The amount of money
required to provide healthy surround
ings and proper physical care for a
child is not great.
Nor does 1t tax ones income greatly
to put a little something aside regularly
for the child's future, either in the form
of savings or insurance.
In a few homes 1t Is simply ques-
ton of whether one prefers to be rich
in things like luxurious furnishings,
poodle dogs and extravagant bric-a-
brac. In other homes it is question
Of intelligent handling Of funds.
Just how much money Is required to
raise a family we are frank to admit
we don't know. We know mothers rails
ing fair sized families on $4,000 a year
and other mothers protesting they can
not have family on only $1,000 year.
Sometimes women plead that their
"high standards of living" preclude a
family on their present incomes. BY
high standard of living they mean ex-
pensive clothes, plenty of jewels, ex-
tensive and expensive entertaining and
like costs.
Are these really high standards, and
has not the woman with children,

Surely there exists no thinking parent

which ended in the conviction Of g.

him to Is years In reformatory. Fiji

these would be, in which this child
would emerge unable to adjust himself
to life or living conditions. q potential

Had this boy been familiar with the
use of shotgun from having seen II
In frequent use? Had he ever heard
his parents, even in jest, remark that
they were so angry they could kill some
one land who hasn't been guilty Of such
far-fetched remarks which one expects
to be regarded with humor?) Then
who can be blamed II the child in a
moment of anger lives up to this idea?
What about the responsibility Of the
parent who left loaded shotgun within
easy reach Of a 6-year- old child?
We are not in this sad affair over
looking the bereaved parents. They
deserve our utmost sympathy, but surely
they would not feel that the loss OF
their child could be compensated fol-
by depriving another child Of freedom
and happiness He Is loaded down as
it is. He may laugh and play happily
now, unaware of the currents around
him, but as he grows into a sense OF
responsibility this tragedy will leave on
him a mark that no one can erase. This
Is what he will have to bear, and nc
jury-imposed sentence can compare
with 1t in future misery and futile self
accusations.
This child has Just outgrown the
period when he actually did not know

The child of S is just learning tc

no such ability. He isn't introspective

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

July 20, 1884 decree for the con-
domination of the property of DR.. A. Y.
P, Garrett was granted here today by
Judge Wylie in the District Court, on
the ground that DIR. Garnett Is an alien
enemy within the meaning of the con-
fiscation act, recently passed by Con-
gress with respect to persons who have
Joined the rebellion of the Southern
States. The Judge remarked that this
was a case Of very great Importance, as
it was the first of its kind to be argued
before this court.
The recent act of Congress, Judge
Wylie declared, did not. as generally
supposed, treat the inhabitants OF the
Confederate States as traitors, but as
alien enemies, and in that point OF
view, by the law of nations, their prop
erty of every description is liable TO
forfeiture and alienation to the use OF
the Federal Government. He declared
that there is no distinction between
personal property and real estate In this
act, nor does the Constitution, as some
suppose, forbid the absolute forfeiture
of real estate.
But he pointed out that a joint reso-
luton, adopted by Congress on the
same day that the conflscation act was
passed, provided that, In a spirit OF
kindness. the Government would con-
fScate the real estate Oh IIlc IepeIe Otlly
during their lifetime.
Judge Wylie said he was bound by
that resolution and, therefore, con-
demned the real estate of DR.. Garnett
during the owners lifetime, and his
personal property absolutely. He re-
ferred to many authorities, including
acts of the Maryland and Pennsylvania
Assemblies conflscating absolutely the
property OF Americans who remained
loyal to the British crown during the
Revolutionary War.
After the decision had been rendered
in this case, the District attorney asked
permission to dispose of some 20 other
cases which depended on the same
principles. The request was granted
and DEGREES of condemnation were
then ordered in the cases of the follow
ing persons Thomas D. Allen, Francis
Hanna. E. A. Pollard, Charles S. Wal
ZACH. Cornelius Boyle, French Forrest,
John N Maffitt, C. w. c. burlington,
Martin l.. Smith, Samuel Lee. Henry B.
TYLER. William F. Phillips, c. w. Haven
ner, Lavinia Boyle and Samuel L.
Lewis.
The case of William Shields was
continued until the next term OF court
when testimony will be taken, since Mr.
Shields has fled an answer to the
charge. He is said to be now with the
British consul in Baltimore. For a
similar reason, the case Of DR.. James j.
Warning also was continued.

ever. II you are feet 6 inches tall,
you should weigh about 124 pounds.
AS you mature your proportions will
become more graceful. You should
build up your weight and do heel
raising exercises. Stand on a thick
book with your heels overhanging.
Rise on your toes as high as you can
and then slowly lower your heels to
the floor. Do this several times a
day to begin with but gradually in
crease the number of repetitions until
you can do the exercise ten times

your figure as tall as you can, stretch
ing the spine we'll. In this position
the chest rises and the abdomen
automatically becomes fiat. Acquire
the habit of holding the abdomen in
Exercises for reducing the abdomen
include trunk twisting and bending,
leg raising and trunk raising while
one is lying down
% think that two-piece frocks
with deep snug hipline would be
becoming also, one-piece dresses with
| bloused bodice, snug hips and full skirt
Any sort of a high heel makes thin
legs look thinner. A low heel like the
baby French is more suitable

Did Nine de Stael ever love Napoleon?

that his diSdainful failure to respond

The cost of having a family must be
