NEW YORK, Aug. 14. In Part a well as In New York, chiffon and voile are among the omst popular materials for summer frooks and blouses. Voile is an extremely practical materiial. It does not crumple easily, is light of weight, comes in all colors and has a pleasing transparency that is not

Fire, which to the police and firemen had the earmarks of having been

of Incendiary origin, but which is disputed by those directly interested as property owners, destroyed the Charles M. Proffltt restaurant at 14 South Eighth street, early Sunday morning. Fire loss was in the neighborhood of $1,600 as approximated by the property owners, but as estimated by Fire Chief Miller, less than $500. Suspicions of the city officers were aroused because the Are broke out about two hours after the place was locked up, and because it started In the dining room, where there was apparently no cause for a blaze originating. The Are Is accounted for by Charles Proffit, colored, the proprietor of the eating house, and Joseph Hassenbusch, owner of the building and holding a lien on some of the furnishings In the restaurant, by sime late patron Saturday night, throwing a lighted cigarette in a corner, which after 'mouldering for several hours, developed into a blaze of such proportions as to partially destroy the building and practically ruin the furnishings of the 'dining room. " Patrolman Little sounded the alarm about 3:30 o'clock, on hearing a wo-

i man scream. "Fire, Are." A half hour

before the officer had been In the im

mediate vicinity of the restaurant and tfonnd nothing to excite his suspicions. 'The fire departments arrived in short lorder and found the blaze a Aerce one, 'having eaten through the roof and i consumed the interior of the dining room. They had to play several I streams of water steadily on the blaze ,for an hour or more. The blase gained such headway In so short a time that the business block between the restaurant and the lnterurban depot appeared to be doomed for a time and fears were entertained that It would communicate to the mM tr11nwa' hlnnlr which 4a 1imt

'across the alley. However, energetic ' ,work by the Aremen and the police prevented a spread to the adjacent buildings. ) Miss Anna Moorman, who lives on the second floor In the adjacent building, No. 20 South Eighth, figured in a thrilling rescue. The stairway leadlng tp her apartment was cut off and the was carried out of the window and 'down the ladder by fire laddies. Le.roy Smith and family who occupy the flat on the third floor were to have been rescued In a similar manner, but i after the firemen broke In they found the 8mlth's absent. The property loss of Miss Moorman and the Smiths was slight.

A deal was to have been consumated soon whereby the restaurant was to have been transferred to another : party. Three offers had been made to Mr.. Hassenbusch and Proffltt and It Is likely that, when the building Is repaired, negotiations will rbe resumed. The loss of both Mr. Hassenbusch ' and Proffit was covered by Insurance. Mr. Hassenbusch estimates his loss at $1000, while Proffit estimated his at $600. According to the best information, Proffltt locked up about 1:30 o'clock -and everything seemed to be in proper condition when he left the place. The fire broke out about two hour afterwards.

too breezy. The voile blouse can be made with little trimming; the mesh

lendos Itself to cross stitching ana

conventional embroidery. The background Is excellent for the incorporation of lace or embroidery bands.

while the convenient width of the blouse gives easy cutting of the kimono patterns that seems too good to let go. Collarless tops and short sleeves predominate. In white or in colors these blouses are effective, convenient and easily made. Coarse laces are used on these new models, Cluny Irish and Torchcon being most in evidence. Plain color is another trimming much used on voile as pipings, bindings and dropped plastrons on bodice and sleeves.' Quite dressy, though often designed and worn for trotting and morning

frocks, are the models In which the chiffone does not veil he entire frock, being used merely for a tunic or in combination with silk. Some of the new taffeta street costumes are made up with chiffon used almost or quite as freely as the silk, the frock being largely of the chiffon, with deep skirt trimming and coat of the taffeta. , When one passes into the province of afternoon and evening frocks the possibilities of chiffon and kindred sheer Btuffs widen out indefinitely and the marvelous color schemes achieved

by superposed layers of such materials have given the models of recent seasons their most beautiful notes. One hears much of the passing of this idea, of the reinstating of heavier materials, but both dressmakers and customers have so heartily appreciated the possibilities and results in this veiling scheme that there seems little danger that women will be called upon

in the near future to give up their

chiffon.

A light-weight full-length coat has become a necessary adjunct to the

well-dressed woman's wardrobe. For

(the auto-trip, travel on the train or

even a day s shopping, a top-coai inai will protect the thin summer gown is most acceptable. Practically all of the new coats are made full length and are cut on straight lines, which continue in favor. The yare made up in pongee, the most popular material for the long coat, soft-finished taffeta and rubberized silk that defy the rain. The principal mode of trimming is the large collar. These are of varied shapes ; the newest have the ' longpointed effect, simulating a hood and finished off with a tassel. There are also many Charlotte Corday models, but the sailor collar is still the general favorite. Some of the coats show the shortened waist line. Some are cut

with the separate skirt and waist, joined a few inches above the waist line, while on. others the modified empire effect is obtained by the use of a wide belt or by means of trimming or buttons. '

Peasant sleeves are noticed on many

of the models, and usually finished

with a deep cuff matching the trim

ming on the collar. The regulation

coat sleeve is, however, much in evi

dence. These coats are designed for

general utility and can be worn on all

occasions. Coats of lightweight Droao-

cloth are also used extensively. Velvet, satin, moire "and braid are used for trimming. , Great care is evident in the selection of buttons, which usually are very large and harmonize with the coloring of the coat. For example, a pongee coat will carry gilt or light-brown buttons; a red-brown mixture has red buttons; blue buttons, that exactly match the "material are used on a light-weight cloth coat.

Golden brown and tan seem to be

the favorite colors. These are combined with contrasting colors in the trimming. , Stripes of black and white add a novel touch to many of the chic models. Two-inch bands of striped silks are seen edging the plain-colored trimming, and some coats are lined throughout with v narrow striped silk. Cool, comfortable coats and skirts are being made of the finer, softer weaves of Shantung silk, chosen In the natural biscuit shade, and also of soft satins and a favorite fabric called "serge-silk, which closely resembles satin merveilleux. Av pretty model is of delft blue satin trimmed in quite a new way, .with long silk ribbons chosen in a darker shade of blue. The skirt opens on the left side in panel effect, revealing a long end of ribbon, and caught across with a dull silver

button. T '

A NIGERIAN LEGEND. It Tells of the Origin of Man's Sub jectien to Women. There to a quaint old Nigerian legend that relates the origin of man's subjection to women. At the beginning of things, the lejtend runs, the world was peopled by women only. One day the earth god.

Awbassl Nat. happened by accident to kill a woman. On bearing this the rest

gathered together and prayed that,, if he meant to slay them, be would bring

destruction on ail together rather than

kill them one by one.

Awbassl was sorry for the grief be

bad caused and offered as compensa

tion to give them anything they should

choose out of all bis possessions. They

begged him to mention what be had to

give and said that they would all cry

"Yes" when be named the thing they

wished to have. v

Awbassl mentioned one oy one an his fruits, fowls and beasts, but at

each they shouted "No." At length

the list was nearly ended only one

thins remained to offer.

-Will you. then, take man?" asked

Awbassl at last "Yesr they roared

in a great about, and. catching hold of one another, danced for joy at the

thought of the gift Awbassl was sending.

Thus men became the servants of women and have to work for them to

this day. ' The Sense of Humor. v. .

A man has a sense or humor or he

has not If bo has not be cannot ac

quire it; If he has It by birthright he cannot lose . It with the passing of

years. The only change as life goes

on In one who has this Inborn sense Is

that different things appeal to it from those that excited amusement in

vouth. but in this it Is like other

mental faculties. As Judgment met '

lows and ripens, so the power of dis

covering those things that excite

smiles becomes more discriminating.

Humor Is not a physical attribute to

fade as the body loses its youthful elasticity, but purely mental. Men

who possess It In goodly measure bare

been known to smile on their death

beds over the very comedy of life.
