BRIDGE WHIST PARTY. Mrs. Erie Reynolds, who has been holding a series of bridge whist parties this season on Saturday afternoon entertained twenty-eight guests at her home In East Main street. This was the sixth party of the series. The house was decorated in green and white, ' which gave a cooling effect Large white peony blooms were effectively used In the decoration scheme. Ice cold punch was served and a three course luncheon also served late In the afternoon.

It Is really most disconcerting the number of lovely blouses that tempt one In the stores these days. Every kind, color and description is to be found in the assemblage, and there is no reason why the handy needlewoman may not achieve a number of the handsomest of these at small damage

to her bank account. Bulgarian embroidery is one of the most striking adornments on the fashionable blouse of the moment. The work Is not fine and does not require skilled hands. The chiet beauty lies in the selection of unusual colors and working'them in conventional designs apalnst a background of voile or marquisette. Among the color combinations are black, white and emerald

green, three shades of cerise, king's blue, deep crimson and forest green, old soo and old blue, dull pink with two shades of gray, browns and yellows, and two shades of lavender with dull green. The patterns stamped to follow out In French knots may be worked In beads instead. . Replace each knot with a bead in the desired shade and the result will be one of the elaborate blouses that cannot be duplicated in the shops under $20. Silk marquisette, voile, chiffon or chiffon cloth is used for the waist. A navy blue waist of china silk had large white dots printed in the fabric. It was made perfectly plain and was finished at the throat and sleeves with hand-made frills of cream voile, tacked flat for about three inches and then left loose. A tiny edge of heavy linen lace finished the turned-back frills. The waist was one of the most effective in a large and expensive collection and could be easily fashioned by the girl who likes to make her own blouses. Little mantles of this and other

sorts will, it is said, be worn very much, but it should, be remembered that unless ehe Is extremely young and fresh both in looks and in style, the wearer of such a mantle will hardly be able to avoid looking dowdy and antique. Ilrald and net coats, or coats of allover lace, lined throughout with fine

silk, and bound, or, at least, trimmed with satin, are being set before us in a determined effort to gain our favor. They seem suited only to the elderly matron or the woman of slight figure, pretty hair and good complexion, who is not likely to find herself looking too old at forty almost as dire as disaster as being tto old. The coats are long and straight, and with their panel backs, and, generally speaking, their rich effect, they will be worn by ladles who like what they style "dressy" effects. Dark blue serge tailored costumes trimmed with blue and white foulard silk, are smart enough . to suit the most fastidious. Often one sees a parasol covered with the silk of the trimming and edged with fringe to match. One of the prettiest novelties of the spring time for neckwear of satin made of points of folded or rolled satin with a center of yellow stamens simi lar to those used in artificial flowers. Deep cuffs and wide sailor collars appear on white embroidered linen coats, and double and triple revers are often seen, one of black velvet, one of lace and embroidery or of mousseline de sole of a contrasting color.

Wide bands of lace finished with a border of ribbon are much used to trim skirts or tunics. '

FRAUD THE CHARGE AGAIIISTi PASTOR Rev. Plass to Be Arraigned in Federal Court, at Boston, This Week. (National News Association) Boston, Mass., May 29. Arrangements have been practically completed for the trial next week, before Judge Dodge in the United States district court In this city of the Rev. Norman Plass, former president, Charles II. Lirooks, treasurer, and John L. Trapbagen, assistant treasurer of the Redeemable Investment company, upon Uie charge of using the mails in a scheme to defraud. United States dis

trict attorney Asa P. French will have

charge of the prosecution In person,

and the defendants will be represented by the Hon. Samuel J. Elder as senior counsel, John P. Feeney and Francis M. Carroll.

The Redeemable Investment com

pany, which is said to have been a

"get-rich-quick" concern with many

victims, princiaplly in the East, was

organized about four years ago by the

Rev. Mr. Plass and several Boston promoters and business men. In the literature which the company sent out liberally throughout the country it

was stated that it controlled, as a holding company, mining, farm, and timber properties in the Northwest of the United States and British Columbia. After the federal authorities had re

ceived several complaints from alleged victims of the company, an investigation was made and on October 13,

1910, federal officials made a raid

upon the elegantly furnished offices of

the concern, confiscataed the books

and papers of the company and arrested Chas. M. Brooks, treasurer and

manager. At that time the Rev. Mr.

Plass was on his- way to British Co

lumbia, and it was not until three

weeks later that he returned voluntarily and surrendered to the U. S. mar

shal. Upon his arrival In Boston he

stated that he had resigned as presi

dent of the company two months be

fore and at the preliminary hearing he

pleaded not guilty to the charge of

fraudulently using the mails.

The unusual interest in this case,

not only in this city but throughout

the country, is due to the fact that the

principal defendant, the Rev. Norman Plass, is well known in widest cir

cles as a clergyman and educator. He

was born at Claverach, N. Y., May 4, 1S60, and came from Dutch stock. He

stupdied at the Hudson (X. Y.) Acad

emy; graduated from Williams Col

lege with the degree of A. B. in 1882

and with the degree of A. M. in 1885. In the following year he graduated from Yale Divinity school as a B. D: and obtained his degree of D. D., from

Williams college in 1904. In June,

1884, he married Jessie Charlotte

Wheeler and two years later he was

ordained to the Congregational miu

istry. II held Important pastorates at

Detroit, Mich., Lincoln, Neb., Medina and Cincinnati, O., and Barrington, R.

I. He was state superintendent of the

Anti-Saloon league of Rhode Island

and New York from 1S97 to 1S99, and

agent of the Congregational National

Home Missionary society in 1900,

Then he became professor of Theism and Christian Evidence at Washburn College, Topeka, Kas., and in 1902 he was elected president of that college, a position which he held until 1908,

when be resigned and embarked in business, organizing the Redeemable

Investment company. Rev. Plass enjoyed cuite a reputation as a preacher

and educator, was for many years a

member of numerous scientific, relig

ious, educational and economic societies and won some distinction as

the author of several books and a

number of sermons and addresses.

A MEMORIAL MASS

ATTEIIDEDJY TAFT

Celebrated in Washington by

War Veterans Sunday Capital Gossip.

Washington, May 29. Exceeding in

splendor and magnitude any outdoor

eligous service ever conducted In the

district, the memorial mass celebrated

n the monument grounds Sunday

morning as a tribute to the soldier dead of the nation was attended by an

assemblage of 30,000 persons. It was

the first field mass ever celebrated in

Washington. President Taft was a rev

erent participant in the solemn serv

ice.

The service and the parade which

preceded it were an unusual interming

ling of the civic, the military and religious. The monster parade was an

awe inspiring spectacle. The observance was carried out under the aus

pices of the Spanish War veterans.

The altar of snow whiteness was

placed in a beautiful setting of palms and bay trees, banked high with the season's choicest flowers. The celebrant of the mass, Rt. Rev. Mgr. William T. Russell, rector of St. Patrick's church, and Rev. J. R. Meagher, sub-

deacon, wore magnificent cloth of gold

vestments. The music of the mass was rendered by the sanctuary choir

of St. Patrick's church and a mixed

choir of 125 voices.

The sanctuary choir of St. Aloysius

church sang hymns during the march

to the grounds.

The preacher of the day, Rev. Eu

gene McDonnell, sounded the keynote

of the observance when he announced

as his text the words of St. John:

Greater love than this no man hath.

that a man lay down his life for his

friends."

He said in rart; "The Catholic

church stands on the side of God and God's laws against atheism and infidelity ; she stands on the side of law and order and authority against social

ism and anarchy, and her children respect all legitimately constituted au

thority. She has done her work in the face of many difficulties, and she also can look back today with pride and

gratitude on the past on the thousands

of her sons whose blood flowed so

freely to cement the foundations of

this government.

"And she still continues to rear God

At Local Theaters

At th Murray. One of the largest houses of the season greeted the initial performance of the new show at the Murray this week. The Ramsey Sisters in their musical playet entitled. "The Messenger Boy," made good from the start. Thcso sisters are young ladies who are

true musicians in every sense of the word.

The Tom bo Duo with their roller skating and tabrourlne manipulating proved one of the best novelties at the Murray for some time. Edward De Corcia and company have a very lively and decidedly funny act in their Western farce comedy, "Red Ike." Mr, De Corcia makes a typical cowboy and the sky pilot Is a scream. The only feminine role Is capably handled by Miss Helen La Sage. The act Is eminently successful as a laugh producer and Is well liked throughout. The Four Casting Campbells, the world's premier aereallsts have an act full of difficult and sensational feats. Cloclng their act with the loop and double somersault away. Something rarely attempted by any of the world's greatest aerlallsts. Motion pictures of the highest order conclude this star bill.'

A CLEAR COMPLEXION

Cannot be bad with cosmetics. They

don't go deep enough. A clear skin

without blotches or pimples can 1h

had only with pure blood. Certainly a p-escrlptlon that cures even the worst

cases of blood disease, clears up eczema and scrofula and cures Inflammatory

rheumatism and catarrh will produce

a rosy complexion. '

Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Com

pound has fcr forty years been known

as the most powerful of all alteratives or blood purifiers. There has never

been a case of blood-poison (even syph

ilis) or skin disease that it cculd not

cure. Thousands of women take it

regularly to keep their blood healthy

and their complexion clear.

It is purely vegetable and harmless.

It was orginally the prescription of Dr,

A. B. Simpson, who was one of the

most celebrated physicians of the mid

die west. Inflammatory rheumatism catarrh, scrofula, eczema, pimples, erysipelas and all troubles arising from

Impure blood yield to it readily.

fearing, law abiding, authority respecting citizens, and I hesitate not to say that if the day shall ever dawn, which may God avert, when infidelity, socialism and anarchy shall be so bold as to rise up against the high authority of our rulers and the law and constitution of our land, in that dark hour the authorities can call with confidence on the Catholic manhood of this country to show their patriotism by observing the law in the time of peace, and, if war must come, by giving, as their brethren gave before them, that supreme test of patriotism their own life's good for their country's cause." Bryan Out of Race. William Jennings Bryan, while on a flying visit to Washington, denied emphatically that In an address before the general assembly of the Presbyterian church at Atlantic City he bad. asserted that "he had found the chief business of United States diplomats in South America was absorbing liquor." "I made no such statement," said Mr. Bryan, "because I do not believe it to be true." Last night he kept four engagements and then returned to his stopping place and found former Representative Burton Harrison of New York and 20 other politicians waiting for him. He refused to say for what purpose the conference was held. "It will be impossible to say what the issues will be until congress finishes its work. It will also be impossible to say who the candidates will

be until the issues are defined," continued Mr. Bryan. "I am not a candi

date, and will not be. Leave me out of It." He refused to express any choice between Governor Wilson of New Jersey, and Speaker Champ Clark, of the house, and also to conirm the report

that he is definitely opposed to Gov ernor Harmon of Ohio. Taft Expresses Sympathy.

President Taft paid a personal call Sunday at the home of Alexander Yellowees, the victim of the accident last night, when the government yacht Dolphin ran down the motor boat. Culprit Fay, near Alexandria-on-the-Potomac. The president expressed his sympathy to the friends of Yellowees, and gave instructions that every effort should be made to recover his body from the Potomac. Yellowees came to Washington five years ago from Pittsburg. He has relatives near Edinburgh, Scotland, who will be communicated with by the navy department as soon as practical. The president also called on John O. Lindsay, the owner of the motor boat who, with William 11. Butler and Yellowees, was on board when the little craft was run down by the Dolphin. The Dolphin was carrying a pleasure party given In honor ot Miss Helen Taft by the Misses Meyer, daughters of the secretary of the navy. In the party were Mrs. Meyer, the wife of the secretary; Beekman Winthrop, assistant secretary of the navy, and Mrs. Winthrop.
