Flowers and Feathers

JUST how far the designers can go in the fad for making children’s hats like those for grownups, and yet unlike, remains to be proven. The two pretty bonnets shown here prove that ostrich plumes, and little roses In abundance, are perfectly all right In the hands of the trimmer whd knows just how to mount them.

The bonnet tor the little miss is of a soft silk braid in blue with a border of silk on the underbrim. The brim is turned back and indented In a distinctly childish" .fashion and there is -a little frill about its edge. Broad soft ribbon is threaded through the crown and extended into ties. June roses trim this sweet little model and

HELP OUT THE WARDROBE

Matching Sets of Separate Gulmps and Undersleeves Will Be Found Useful Accessories.

Separate gulmpes and undersleeves made up in matching sets, are great additions to a limited wardrobe, for almost all summer gowns and bodices are made for these. A cheap fillet lace In a rich cream, covered with black or white chiffon, is one good choice for these useful accessories. Have the neck collarless, and with either black or white use a bias of black satin for edgeß. Another set would be pretty in tucked white brussels net, and another set would be exquisite if made of cream batiste embroidered with white.

Black and white striped calico makes the smartest and cleanest of practical petticoats. Get a good model, shape the skirt closely at the hips and trim it with a six-inch bias flounce, put on scantly. It must be laundered without starch.

Gauze lisle stockings are the best substitute that can be had for silk stockings. They are cool, elegant and cheap—three pairs for a dollar. Changing the buttons of a readymade coat Buit sometimes alters its character entirely. Crlcheted buttons are much in favor, and they are large and round. There is nothing easier than to chochet covers for the wooden molds, or a cheap Imitation Irish lace can be bought and put on. The molds must always be covered first with a thin silk.

The Nightgown of Swiss.

Quite a new and decidedly pretty Innovation of feminine lingerie is the nightgown of sheer dotted Swiss and fine nainsook combined. Both fabrics are very appropriate for lingerie purposes and one Wonders no one ever thought of combining them before. The dotted Swiss is used for the upper or yoke part and the sleeves while the plain cloth Is utilized In the full skirt. This combination Is especially pretty In making an empire style nightgown and the Swiss and nainsook are joined at the bust line by sheer ribbon run beading. The girl who makes her own undermus11ns might vary this a little by using allover embroidery in place of the dotted Swiss. And any clever woman will see numberless pretty possibilities In oomblnlng the two materials.

New Breakfast Cup.

A pretty new shape for the girl who likes to make herself dainty caps la oblong in line. It is made from a strip of allover embroidery or lace —dotted muslin la pretty and cheaper—out wider in the middle than at each end. It hi finished trlth lace insertion about an inch wide and to this is overcast a ruffle of lace to match. The ruffle is wider in front, tapering slightly toward ends. The cap, when finished, falls low on hair back of ears, and Is held there with a fluffy bow.

To Renovate a Black Chip Hat.

To renovate a black chip hat, brush the hat well to remove the dust Pour some olive oil into a saucer, and well brush hat all over. Place In front of fire to thoroughly dry In the oil. This is all that would be done if sent to a cleaner's. Should the brim be somewhat out of shape, wring a cotton doth oat of warm water, lay oa. and press with a hot Iran before applying oiL *

a bouquet of them joins the ties. The tiny flowers captivate the fancy of the little girl and there is something Irresistible about miniatures of all things. A bonnet with two short plumes is shown for an older girl. This is a lingerie model with little crochet balls, braid and motifs applied to the brim and crown. Batiste or swlss embroidery is used for the body of such hats. The brim facing is of thin silk laid on In plaits. The two soft short plumes are mounted against the crown with a cluster of small pink buds and foliage. This is a specially good shape and would be pretty made up in light millinery braids.

NOVEL BUT NOT SO USEFUL.

Pincushion for the Woman Who Does Not Insist Upon Utility as Irin- •* portant Feature.

A cushion for the woman who does not insist upon utility is made in the shape of a heart, six inches at its widest part. It is cut from a heavy muslin, filled with wool or bran and covered with satip in any bright color. For the top make a much smaller heart from handkerchief linen or fine lawn, and work it with a delicate open design in Madeira embroidery. Use a fine white mercerized cotton, as the embroidery should be delicate. Sew a quarter-inch insertion of German Valenciennes to edge and join another strip of the insertion to lace an inch wide. Sew evenly without filling. Join the two sections by fagoting stitch in the same shade as the satin pincushion. This should be a half Inch deep. The joining of the two parts must be done on a heavy paper, which has a heart the desired size of cover traced on it

PRETTY LACE WAIST.

This most attractive waist is of white lace bordered with white satin. The corslet is of the same laoe headed by blue satin ribbon, prettily knotted at the side and ornamented with a little wreath of pink roses. The plastron and puffed undersleeves are of white tulle.

Black Lace Parasols Revived.

These, if covered with handsome Spanish lace, are never very moderate in price. Yet for S3O & style now comes that is reminiscent of our earliest girlhood. The exquisite pattern of the lace is set off to advantage by the lining of dead white chiffon cloth. A full, rippling ruffle of black chiffon and lace droops down over the frame. The handle la of black or black and white enamel combined with gunmetal. The B&me model may be had In all black, if desired. A black silk parasol with many riba Is finished along its edge with a deep alllr fringe, giving much the same effect as the fluffy lace ruffle described above. This, however. Is $lO less 1r cost than the other style.—Vogue.

Two shades of blue, one very much lighter, are used oa linen tailored ■Rita.

TALES OF GOTHAM AND OTHER CITIES

New York May Establish Tramp Colony

NEW YORK.—The tramp evil in this state may soon be solved. A bill provides not only for the appointment of a commission to inquire carefully into the conditions of vagrancy, but also makes an appropriation for the purchase of 600 acres of land upon which to establish a tramp colony. That there is need of some more adequate method of dealing with the vagrant class than has formerly obtained is known to every person, and the establishment of a farm where vagrants- might be employed and reclaimed is beUeved by those who have made a study of the subject to be the proper solution of the .difficulty. The vagrants now in this state would form a population as large as that of the city of Albany. The jails, penitentiaries and almshouses are put to an expense of 12,000,000 annually In endeavoring to cope with the problem which has arisen through the existence of this undesirable element. But far more serious than this is tne loss caused by v the destruction of property, robberies, fires and kindred misdemeanors which cost the state, the railroads and other private interests over 110,000,000 yearly.

Millionaire Gives a Swimming Party

MACON, GA.—The smart set of Maeast is agog because of the fact thpt W young men and 2Q young women, all prominent socially, passed a whole night ““in a swimming pool attired only in bathing costumes. The costumes were of the daintiest, and also of the scantiest, and the temperature of the swimming pool was pleasant, but the 20 couples did not enjoy themselves. They passed the night in abbreviated costumes in the pool, not because they wanted to, but because they had to.

W. D. Billlngslea, millionaire, with a magnificent home to which a spacious swimming pool is attached, has been giving swimming parties during hot weather, which have been attended by the young men pnd women of the smart set Billlngslea on this occasion invited 20 men and 20 women of the most exclusive set to a swimming party. The couples splashed about in the water, flirted a bit and then splashed some more until after midnight. Then some one noticed the lateness of the hour, and a rush was made for the dressing rooms. Then it was discovered that the clothes of the 40, had

Chicago Boys Work During Vacation

CHICAGO.— With the closing of the schools it is estimated that there are about 100,000 boys between the ages of 14 and 20 years who look for summer jobs. That is, there are 100,000 the first week. When the second week comes along there are about 60,000 who still think they want to work, about 20,000 tue third week and about 15,000 who retain their determination throughout the summer. The average high school youth of this year expects to earn at least $lO a week to start, with a raise at the end of every fortnight. Alas! It seems employers have not the proper respect for their culture. : r ost of these boys, the really valuable ones.

State of Kansas Bars Public Towels

TOPEKA, Kan.—Kansas was the I first state to abolish the common drinking cup in hotels, railroad trains and stations, and In the common schools. It has gone one step farther, and the common towel will soon disappear from all public places. After an exhaustive investigation the chemists and bacteriologists of the Kansas board of health recommended that the common roller towel be forbidden as dangerous tq the people of the state and the board adopted the order that tha stiffly starched boarding house tovel be cut up into individual towels, and everyone have a clean face wipe whenever the exigencies of the occasion demanded a facial bath. At a meeting of the board an investigation of the roller towel was ordered. Towels were collected ln.the hotels and public schools of several cities of the state. Railroad trains were boarded in different lines, and the roller towels In the wash rooms confiscated. These were takes to the state’s health laboratories at the state university and examined.

The immense number of tramps' trespassing on railroads and the fatalities which overtake many of. them may be estimated from the fac*t that In a period of five years 23,964 treepassers were killed and 25,236 were injured in the United States while stealing rides. Most of them were tramps and at least one-fifth of the accidents took place in this state. The bill proposes as a solution the’ establishment of a labor colony. The latter, briefly, is a state owned colony for the detention, reformation and instruction in agriculture and other industrial occupations of persons committed by magistrates as vagrants and tramps. In Switzerland there is such a colony, located at Witzwill, in the canton of Berne, and it has proved most successful. Practically all of the work Is done by the Initiates. Not only is agriculture carried on, but other enterprises are also conducted. The buildings of the institution have been erected by the inmates and all of the futniture is made by them. They even make wagons and carriages and the various- tools and appliances used on the farm. With the establishment of such a colony the vagrant In New York would find himself between the horns of an uncomfortable dilemma —either detention at the farm colony or the giving a wide berth to the state in which he now is found most often. Whatever choice he makes should mean an annual saving to the pubUo of millions of dollars.

been taken, and that the swimming pool had been locked. Billlngslea himself was one of the victims. Efforts to make themselves heard were in vain, and the 20 men and the 20 girls were forced to spend the night in the swimming pool clad In their scanty costumes. Finally, about five o’clock, Billlngslea made some of his servants hear and the doors of the pool were spreed and the party of men and girls released. It was not a merry crowd that, emerged. v Billlngslea thinks some one played a practical joke on his guests, but he is mad clear through, and has offered a large reward for discovery of the person who stole the clothes and) locked the pool. At any rate, there will be no more swimming parties in Macon for the present.

get over their self-esteem after being rebuffed a few times. One high school student, who had completed his sophomore year, and who durlng'the winter had been one of the most popular boys in the school, started looking for a $lO job and ended collecting bundles in a department store for $3.50 a week. He had some good stuff in him, however, as was shown by his raise to $5 a week before the summea was over and the offer of a better job when he had finished school. In one department store last year there were no less than 14 boys from one of the local high schools, all of them selling “gents’ furnishings." These were the older boys and in other stores there were high school “men" doing everything from collecting bundles, wrapping them, helping with stock, doing the work of four assistant office boys, to jobs paying $lO a week, a remarkably high wage for the inexperienced youth of tender yean.

In some instances, the bacterial count ran as high as 1,333.000 bacteria to a square centimeter of the towel. The teste showed that 25 per cent of the towels examined baccullus coll was found, thousands of skin scales were found on each towel, showing how the skin rube off in minute particles whenever the face and hands are wiped thoroughly. The order means that all the schools will furnish paper towels for the children. These come in rolls and are' about as cheap for 100 towels as laundering one towel. The railroads probably will put In paper towels or have individual towels for rent, and the hotels are expected to put individual towels into the washrooms.
