EVIDENCES OF TASTE
DRESS ACCESSORIES ARE THINGS THAT COUNT.
THE
Scarf May Be Used as an Example Colored Handkerchiefs to Match Suit or Gown Short Skirts Demand Fine Stockings. This la tho ago of tho accessory In dress history. It is by tho accessory (that tho wearer's refinement Is expressed. The woman of no taste whatever may mako a presentable appearance so long as sho wears Just what 3ior tailor and dressmaker give her. .'but let her loose among tho little extra things which her clerer and well-bred sister chooses so well and sho betrays ihcrself at once. I The scarf Is foremost among today's JHttlo dress luxuries. Timo was when jthe wearer of one of these airy nothings met with stern disapproval She fwas suspected of trying to bo artlsitic, which was once considered quite (bad form. But now every well-dressed woman has a whole range of them jcarefully laid away in her. favorite iperfumo sachets, and is out at tho calea buying more. t There are, lovely examples In all the shops, from 'the useful trifles In plain Jor shot nlnon to the painted or bead .embroidered crepe de chine ones ttat are wide and long enough to be caught lip Into a cloak for evening wear. There Is quito a rage for the colored handkerchief. Now that mere me are having their handkerchiefs tone with their socks and neckties, the smart woman has hers to match her linen suit or her embroidered gown. i The importance of the stocking Is ono of the most interesting circumstances of today's dressing, and It Is really difficult to And whether we got such pretty stockings because of our short skirts or we shortened our skirts to show our hosiery- And stockings are among the articles In which ono ay "plunge" without fear at sale jime. One can scarcely have too many a'lrs especially during tho holiday
and visiting season. ! t One girl who possessed many quaint strings of beads has been matching them all with stockings during midsummer sales, and in this color-loving era the excuse seems sufficient. Little lawn collars and cuffs are other accessories which can bo purchased at present at great reductions, "if ' you have any at all, you must have a lot," was tho axiom heard at a counter where these were being sold tho other day, and thoro Is some truth in the extravagant statement, for it is sünntlal that tho lawn trifles should
be always Immaculate, otherwise one looks Infinitely better without them. t J Novel Necktie. ' An oddity in neckwear that can easily be copied at home Is made of inch.wide velvet ribbon brought around the hise of the collar and held in front over the crossed ends by a beaded Ilde. The ends, which are cut square mm, are finished with beaded
WW W f fringe to match. The newest fringe for these lies Is made of tho small round beads of wood, gilt, and Iridescent colors. Combination fringes are especially new, mixtures of the blue, green, red and gold beads being used. This is much loss garish than it sounds.
HANDSOME AND IN STYLE Bag Fashioned According to tho Latest Fad May Easily Oe Made at Home. Tho most fashionable bag at tho present timo Is made in brocado, embroidered silk or velvet, of the shapo of our Illustration. They aro very exponslvo to buy. but clever lingers may easily fashion a very handsomo bag at less than a quarter of tho prlco that would bo paid for ono In a

Tho judges put them through a severe "Money Musk," "Devil's Dream," nnd "The Soldier's Joy" were called for and played. W. M.

STATUE IS LIKE A REAL DOG
The Home Dresser. For the at homo dressmaker there
are no pins so handy as tho home
made "red heads." They aro mado in tho following way: Take a packago of No. 8 needles.
melt a Httlo red sealing wax ana dip tbejhead ends of tho needles In
and snnpe ico iumy ui nu m w form a fair-sized head, and stick them on a cushion to harden. They are excellent to pin work or patterns In place, and aro so much sharper than tho ordinary pins, also longer.
They are thinner, too, and do not lpave such large holes In tho finer materials.
These are used by southern women, and the idea Is original with them. Many people who sew a great deal make up two or three papers of these needles at a time, but they last well and do not seem to got lost or have tho natural dopravlty credited to tho every-day pin.
Unwelcome Visitors and NeighborsCats and Dogs Give This Yard a Wide Berth. Boston, Mass. Unwelcome visitors flo not bother "Bill" Irwin's house In Cotult, neither do neighbors' cats or dogs play about his hou3e, and it Is all becauso of a statue of a big dog, that sits on the front lawn. Mr. Irwin was presented with the statue by
ihe late John SImpklns, and for a num- '
ber of years It has been on tho front lawn standing guard over the grounds. When the "dog" was first set out on the lawn tho small boys of tho village believed it to bo a real dog, and they ni'oMml imlnir anvwhera near the

B7 HELEN HELP
The Genevieve Who Wed a Fifty Plus
When a real grown-up elderly James j decides that It is timo for him to range himself and get married, it is a season of rejoicing among all his friends. Lucky is the girl who is chosen to share tho scdato pleasure of his homo becauso an older man Is so much more likely to think of his wife's comforts than is one of those careless, good-for-nothing boys who do not regard a single thing on earth except loving and kissing and auch like nonsense. When such a James decides to tako a wife, great is the fluttering among the wise mammas, because it is without doubt tho caso that James Is well able to support a wife. And does ho select a nice, quiet, grownoldor Genevieve to do that little Hearts and Flowers grand march with him? Well, hardly! Tho James I am going to toll you about was a very fair typo of tho gentlemen who have left their Boy-Jimmy days well behind them beforo bothering with that matrimonial noose; and the girl ho honored by his choice was Just Jenny, laughing, loving little Jenny, looking forward into life with such
eager eyes, eyes that dreamed dreams
and saw visions. They saw visions about a Jimmy
James, stately and handsome and admired, and with a soul to match. And this wonder did her the honor to woo her I Sho never stopped to think whether she loved him or not. She Just tucked her little head down on his shoulder half afraid of her daring and vowed to make him ever so happy. Older by many years? Oh. what dif-

about somo who had no names at all

along, this blase man of fifty and '
more, and smote every one of his young wife's illusions and Ideals In
tho face so that they gave a horrified little moan and lay down and died.
And Jenny was left gazing, dry-eyed.
at the dry years.
I told you that I had been troubled
about tola marriage. It is an old mar rlage now, all of five years, and James
Is getting fat and very, very bald.
Jenny Is just twenty-five and amazing
ly pretty. I dined with them tho other evening. Ho does not mind me. Ho Bays I have sense enough to go homo when I am not wanted. Well, ho came home and Jenny, loyal to her ideals, though thoy are perfectly dead ideala now, went and
held up her pretty month to be kissed. Why, I'd havo been -willing to kiss it myself, woman that I am! "Aw, bother! We're too old for such nonsense. growls James, and shoulders past her. Oh, laughing- Jenny and demure Janey and stately Genevieve, when they talk to you about being an old man's darling, don't you believe a word of it! WhiBt! Let me whisper!

this was true.
You think no ono could say just
that to his little, brand-new Jenny
wife? Oh. hut maybe you never saw
one of those old men's darling affairs from a really close viewpoint! So James comes home night after night and eats his good diuncr and goes to bed early. Once Jcuny tried to get him to stay up till nine o'clock and play casino with her he declined to go out. But he was so sleepy, poor fellow, that he almost yawned kis head off. Her friends say she I entirely changed. "Just liko that husband of hers, sho Is getting," they say. You see, they aro young and disrespectful. Hut sho has to be. When she asked
her friends to dinner they chatted and
giggled till James came homo and then they sat up straight and anid.
"Yes, sir." and "No. sir," to him. And
when she asked his friends Bho did not chatter and giggle at all, but sat up straight and said "Tes, sir," and "No, sir." to thorn. And then a dreadful thing- happened. James yawned in tho company's faces right after dinner! "Rough!" yawned James. "Well, you people know that eight o'clock Is my bed time," and went to bed! That was Jenny's last effort Be-

Don't Follow the Crowd. In chasing tho market for profit, tho fellows who blindly follow tho crowd aro generally tho ones who got left. The successful man buys when ho has tho least competition, at tho lowest prices and with tho greatest margin for profit, which usually brings his selling timo during n period of comparative scarcity at market, and ho therefore gets higher prices and most always makes a good profit in bla dealings. Here's a Chance for Gain. Tho present very low market val. uos of feeding heep and lambs, being less than the cost of production, offers such an opportunity to thoso who aro prepared to properly care for
them. - Feeders Aro Selling Cheap. Well-bred, thin but. thrifty lambs of the growing kind can sow be bought on tho Chicago market for $5.25 to 5.50 per 100 pounds; wethers of similar description, $3.40 to $3.75; yearling wethers, $4.25 to $4.50; yearling breeding ewes, $4.00 to $4.60. and good feeding ewes at $2-50 to $2.85. These prices are about $1.71 lower than a year ago for feeder lambs, and tho lowest since 1004. Feeder sheep prices also aro unusually low. Now Is- the Time to Buy. Ia view of the fact that prices of feeder oheep and lambs aro now bo-
low the cost of production, and that present prices of lamb and mutton aro out of lino with all other meats and must thereforo soon rise becauso of the increased consumption invited thereby, tho conclusion is inevitable that now is the best timo to buy feed er sheep nnd lambs for all thoso who aro ready to prepare thom for market during tho early part of next year A leading aheep owner end dealer says: "Fat is mado pretty cheap on the Fall feed that otherwiso would be wasted, and tho sheep and Iamb feeding proposition from tho standpoint cf fertility is worthy of most careful consideration."

he knew a lot of sweet little Jpnies then, and demuro Janles and stately Genevleves, but such a giddy young fellow was he that not a singlo ono of them could hold him. He flitted and flirted about, snatching sweets from rosy Hps and dimpled cheeks oh,

The Drought In India. Tho Indian climate Is as stablo as
our own has recently become. Only J on rare occasions does tho weather
afford a topic of conversation. But one of thoso raro occasions ia now
with us. The evont dominating In

is expected in Juno and blows till September. Should tho monsoon fall the crops perish and famine !s upoa tho people. This summer the rains havo proved deplorably feeblo. Thero Is still time for tho crops to bo Bavcd, and as heavy clouds aro generally reported, tho situation is by no means hopeless. But there is gravo causo for anxiety. A shortngo of rain Is reported from 147 stations, and already there is Borious trouble over practically the wholo of northwestern In dia. Ono bright feature relieves tho gen

that tho spring snowfall in tho HI

that thero Is plenty of water. It la certain that tho anxiety which has
