. The transparent coat Is a feature of dressy wear this season. Of course, there is no warmth to such a coat, but its effect over a frock of delicate color is very beautiful. Over this corn-colored satin costume the glack lace coat shows to good advantage and the effect is completed by the big hat faced with pale yellow and heaped with paradise aigrettes in black.

HAVE YOU A HOPE BOX. The "hope box" is the latest fad among the pretty girls of marriageable age In Bloomington. According to the correspondent this is the way the scheme Is worked: The girls secure a dainty little box and place therein from day to day some article of wearing apparel, such as lingerie, SloTe8, handkerchiefs, hosiery, veils, or Uppers. As each article is deposited, the girl, sighing softly, "hopes" that

There was soms further discussion of the plans for new quarters, although the meeting was not a business session. One of the actions that was taken by the members within the club was the organization of a tennis club. This club will secure the least to several vacant lots and will at once begin the erection of a tennis court, where the members may play the game and later In the season hold tournaments. This movement is backed by Walter Sohl, Rev. Charles Albert Smith and M. F. Church. The meeting adjourned at 11 o'clock and the members retired to their homes. Some time later In the evening the clubrooms were entered by a number of Hammond young men and thrown into the greatest confusion. The club disclaims having any responsibility for this escapade and will take steps to see that the perpetrators are punished. SECOND IN lishlng an orphanage for the children of deceased Elks is submitted to the grand lodge without recommendation. The location of the present National Elks Home at Bedford, Va, was criti cised by the grand exalted ruler, who suggested that a fund of $216,000 be raised by tho order during the next ten years by an annual assessment of cents a member, and that a new home be built in some other city. The report shows that the last year has been one of unprecedented pros perity for the order. Forty-two new lodges have been established, and the total number of members exceeds 300,000. Hooclers Finally Ind." The Hoosiers finally reached Los An geles worn with the torment of the desert for twenty-four hours. Just In time to register and vote at the elec tion for grand exalted ruler. The train reached the city at an early hour this morning, but the members stayed on board until time to attend the first session of the grand lodge. Tonight they are Jubilating with Warren G. Sayre over his unanimous election as esteemed leading knight, but their celebration was lost in the larger one of the Sammls followers over his sensational victory. With the defeat of Herrmann a good many Hoosier hopes are doomed, for the state was almost unanimously against Sammls and may expect no favors for the members who came to vote against him. The Indianapolis members present will decided tomorrow morning whether they will turn out in the parade or whether Harry W. Overman, now living at Santa Cruz, will reproduce his "One Lone Elk From No. 13" stunt that made such a hit at Denver three years ago. He is prepared to go in alone in grotesque costume behind a "Rube" band with about twenty boys carrying suit cases. The Hoosiers were again honored by having Sam V. Perrott of No. 13 made chairman of the elections committee by Grand Exalted Ruler Holland. within a year "he" pops the question, and her fondest dreams be realized. Two girls started "hope boxes" a few months ago, and early this week they received proposals of marriage. One of them. It is said, accepted lmmeditely, and the other promised an answer by next Sunday. Another society girl started a "hope box" and before she got it half filled received a letter from a young man matrimonially Inclined. As a consequence her girl friends are all in a nutter of excitement over the pretty romance. DINNER AT CEDAR LAKE. Several revenue men and office employes of the Hammond Distilling comi drve to cd" yesterday as the guests o f Mr. John E. Fitigerald. An elaborate 6 o'clock dinner was served them at Binyon's hotel on the south shore of the lake, after which a launch ride around the lake was enJoyed. The trip was made without j mlshop except to Mr. Fitzgerald and I Frank Hammond, who lost considerable cuticle by coming in contact with the canopy of the automobile Just after they had crossed a bridge, at least this is the explanation they are giving their wives and friends.

ANOTHER BOOST IN ICE PRICE (Continued from Page 1.) raised the price of their products at the same time when the excuses the ice trust offered for the raise could not possibly have applied to the local company. Mr. Siegrist first stated that the company was paying the union drivers $70 a month now, where they were paying them $60 before. This is an Increase of 16 2-3 per cent in the cost of labor, while the increase from 30 to 40 cents per 100 pounds represents an increase of 23 1-3 per cent in price, nearly twice as much. When this discrepancy was pointed out to Mr. Siegrist he stated that his company had never made any money and had never paid a dividend. The fact was then pointed out that the Crawfordsville Pure Ice company, which manufactures ice by the same process, is said to sell its product for 30 cents per 100 and must be making money for the reason that it has been doing business for a number of years. What Other Papers Say. One of the Chicago papers, in commenting on the matter, has the following about the increase in the cost of this great family necessity: "While the wholesale price of ice is likely to take another Jump in a short time, the householders of the city will continue to pay 40 cents per 100 pounds. The destruction of 85,000 tons of ice in the burning of two ice houses and the decrease in the quality of the ice are said to be the causes for the threatened advance. Few contracts are in the way of the advance in the wholesale prices, the ice dealers state. This leaves them free to make any rate they desire. The rate paid last year and up to May 15, 1309, and afterward are as follows: Old price New price per 100 per 100. Less than 500 pounds .. $0.25 $0.30 Over 500 and up to 4,000 pounds 20 Over 4,000 pounds t-z .20 "While 40 cents per 100 is the same price as that of last year, it is being enforced more rigidly this season. In some districts last summer there was j , , , . . ' . nanles and ice could be bought hy housewives for from 30 to 40 cents. Since May 15 the 40-cent rate has been enforced. "Frederick Kraeokrnnnn of the Knickerbocker Ice company said yesterday that, while the increase in the wholesale prices had been considered, no date had been set for the change.
