DR. EASTMAN'S MEMORY. Tributes Paid by Many Physicians Jndjge Walker n Friend. Members of the Marlon County Medical Society held a special meeting last night to adopt a memorial to the late Dr. Joseph Eastman. The esteem in which Dr. East man was held by members of the medical profession was clearly demonstrated. In addition to many of the doctors from this city Dr. G. W. II. Kemper and G. W. Green, of Muncle, with Dr. B. Wallace, of Franklin, attended. These visiting mem bers of the medical profession came, as they said, to pay their tribute "to the greatest surgeon in the West." In addition to their words of praise Judge L. C. Walk er, of this city, paid a glowing tribute to the late doctor, both as a professional man and a a citlsen. Judge Walker seemed to know more about the deceased than any one present. He spoke from personal knowledge. Following him there were short talks by every physician present. Several doctors dropped in during the meeting just to sneak a word of praise for Dr. Eastman Dr. S. E. Earp. who occupied the presi dent s chair, read an interesting letter from Dr. C. F. Taylor, editor of the Medical World. Dr. Taylor was a member of the first class graduated under Dr. Eastman. He wrote with the greatest feeling, saying he had lost the guiding star that had led him to success. It was supposed last .night that suitable resolutions concerning Dr. Eastman's death would be adopted. A committee composed of Drs. Maxwell. House, Woolen. Ryan and Patterson was appointed to take some action in the form of a resolution which will be read at the regular meeting of the society Tuesday- night. The matter of th society attending the funeral to-morrow in a body was brought up by Dr. S. E. Earp. It was not understood whether the funeral would be private or not. The society left the subject in abeyance until it heard from the members of the family. DRANK BUG EXTERMINATOR. An Avrfal Dose Taken by a Ilaby Fifteen Month Old. Drs.

Tho doctors save the child an antidote, and in a few minutes she showed signs of returning consciousness. The doctors aid the amount of acid which the exterminator contained was not sulhcit-rt to cause d?ath. They said tho stuff would have made the child very tick and probably leave it In a sickly condition for some time had not they acted as quickly us they did. Woman Report n Robbery.

She did not discover her loss until after the man had gone. She said his name waa W. J D Anderson, and that he worked for the Kline Portrait Company.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS

MR. CARLETOX, CERKALIST OF AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT, IX TOWX. He Came to Meet Capitalists of Indiannpolia nnd Danville A Talk with Corrydon Rich. M. A. Carleton, cerealist of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, spent the day at the Hotel English yesterday. Mr. Carleton came to Indianapolis to hold a conference with several capitalists of thia city and Danville who are organizing a company for the purpose of raising drought-resisting or maccaroni wheat in northern Nebraska. At the head of the project are Edward D. Courtney, of Danville, and E. L. Lennox, of this city. Mr. Carleton talked entertainingly of the newkind of wheat new to this country only. for It has been raised for centuries in Rus sia and Turkestan. He said that its growth depends almost not at all upon moisture. Farmers In this country have, through the efforts of the Agricultural Department, been Induced to experiment in raising mac caroni wheat," said Mr. Carleton, "and they have met with success, but you know it is of little use to raise any kind of a cereal unless there is a demand for it among the manufacturers. The manufac turers seemed not to understand the value of maccaroni wheat, and the farmers had to feed it to the chickens. One of my duties, however, is to bring the manufac turer and the farmer together, and in the matter of this new kind of wheat I have made considerable progress. Already there is a good demand for it, and men who begin to raise it now will certainly reap liberal rewards for their foresight. Mr. Carleton said that breadstuffs made from maccaroni wheat keep moist for a much longer time than when made from the ordinary hard wheat. As Its name in dicates, the wheat is especially adapted for making maccaroni. Inasmuch as there Is a large amount of maccaroni being manu factured in the United States now and the quantity of maccaroni wheat raised abroad is insufficient to accommodate the needs of foreign makers of that article, Mr. Carleton is confident that fortunes await farmers who get early into the business of raising tho new kind of cereal. Messrs. Courtney and Lennox conferred with their associates yesterday afternoon at the Hotel English in reference to the new company, but the details of organization were not perfected. The company will be organized and ready for business within a week, however, Mr. Courtney de clared. He said the intention now is to be gin raising maccaroni wheat on several hundred acres of land in northern Nebraska and purchase more land later as needed. T. TAGGART'S PREDICTIOX. He Saya He la Snre of Coming: Demo cratic Success. Reporters rarely find "Tom" Taggart sit ting or standing anywhere waiting for them to come and Interview him. On the con trary. It is by no means an unusual ex perience for a newspaper man to feel con fident he has the leader of Marion county Democracy "treed," only to find that Mr. Taggart has disappeared as if the ground had opened and engulfed him. Last evening, however, when the genial hotel pro prietor and politician had his back turned in the lobby of the Grand Hotel, a reporter approached from the rear and before the customary "disappearing act" could be consummated contrived to say: "What Is the rrospect for Democratic success this fall. Mr. Taggart?" Seeing there was no way out of it, "Wily Tom" beamed on the young man in his most benign manner a; il said, with great show of earnestness: "Low, I am giving it to you straight. I have never known a time In all my political career when prospects seemed brighter for Democratic suc cess than they are this year. I mean it, every word. We are going to win this time sure. Why, there is dissension of the bit terest sort in the ranks of the Republic ans," he continued, and at this point Mr. Taggart's voice sank to an impressive graveyard whisper. "Don't you know that's true?" he added, and. turning extra pressure on the famous smile, he faded quickly away. Mr. Taggart remained after the Demo cratic state convention to visit his friends in Indianapolis, but will leave for French Lick this morning. "You see," he ex plained, "I had not been here for such a long time that I felt like I ought to stay a while on this visit." CORYDOX M. RICH IX TOWX. He Soys Xeely Is Xot Having a Good Time In Cuba. Corydon M. Rich, of Muncle, Ind., late of Havana, Cuba, was at the Grand Hotel yesterday. When Been by the Journal Mr. Rich was engaged in the cheerful occupa tion of playing a series of games of pool with a friend. He was well-dressed, welleroomed and looked as debonair as if such a thing as postal frauds In another coun try had never been neard or by Mm. "I am in the wholesale grocery business in Muncie," he said, "and am doing well. I don't bother my head about Cuba anymore." "What is the sentiment of the people of Muncle toward Charles F. W. Neely?" Mr. Rich was asked. "I would rather not discuss that matter," he taid. "Now is not the time to talk about it." "Would the people of your place approve a pardon for Neely?" the questioner persisted. "Undoubtedly they would," replied Mr. Rich. "Mr. Neely is having a pretty good time down there in the Cuban prison?" was suggested. "Not by a jugful," quickly retorted Mr. Rich, and at this point he displayed the first sign of real interest In the interview. "The newspaper men have written hundreds of columns of the veriest pipe dreams about Neely," he continued. "He is not having such a snap. I can tell you." With this remark Mr. Rich resumed his dexterous pushing of the ivory balls, indicating that as a fountain of information he had "run dry." Com In ft Hotel MeetlnRM. The local hotels are preparing for big business in the near future, for Indianapolis is going to live up to its reputation as a great convention city during the month of June. The National Bookbinders' Association will hold its annual convention next wttk, beginning Tuesday, and ending Saturday. The Grand Hotel will be headquarters for the delegates.

Brüning, a former resident of Madison. Ind.. who was shot by his brother-in-law. William M. Copeland, in the law office of Miller, Winter & Elam. in this city, several years ago. was at the Denlson House last night. Mr. Brüning came from New York to Indianapolis to attend the argument in the Supreme Court of a case growing out of the settlement of his father's estate. The case was being fought in the lower court at the time Mr. Brüning was shot, and the affair was said to have been brought about through bad feeling over the division of the elder Brunings property provided for in his vlll. Mr. Brüning is a man of considerable wealth, being proprietor of large coffee and spice mills In Evansville. and also owner of an interest in an extensive coffee business in New York city. Will Xot Take Gibson Honae. "I emphatically deny having any intention whatever of going into the hotel business In Cincinnati," aid Henry W. Law-

rence, proprietor of the Hotel English,

Spencer House and the New Claypool. yesterday. Mr. Lawrence has been greatly an noyed by the unfounded report being pub lished that he was about to take over the Gibson House at Cincinnati. "I have all I can attend to right here in Indianapolis, he said, "and my only purpose is to devote my entire time and attention to the New Claypool Hotel and make it one of the big successes of the country. I apprehend that will keep me well occupied' without going into another State to operate a hotel." "Warren Bller In Tovrn. Warren Blgler, of Wabash, ex-secretary of the Republican state committee, registered at the Hotel English yesterday and paid a brief visit to committee headquarters in the Majestic. If Mr. Bigler came to Indianapolis on business or more than ordinary interest he was successful in keeping knowledge of it to himself. Furnitnre for fw Claypool. Henry W. Lawrence will go to Grand Rapids next Sunday in order to be pres ent at the opening of the annual exhibit of furniture manufacturers in that city, Monday, June lt. Mr. Lawrence, while there, will make selections of furniture for the new Claypool Hotel. LAST OF THE OLD BRIDGE IT MIST BE TORX DOWX TO MAKE WAY FOR XEW OXE. Sentimental Traditions Cling: to the Aged Structure Other Municipal Affairs. Those pioneers who want to have a last look at the old White river wooden bridge while it Is still entire have but a few days for their last visit, for the stays and supports of the west span will be attacked byworkmen Monday or Tuesday to clear the way for the west abutment for the new bridge. Yesterday George W. Fife & Co., who have contracts for the abutments, launched their derrick float and by the middle of next week will begin the wet excavation work. Preliminary to this the west span of the old bridge must go. . The old bridge Is one of the few pioneer landmarks. It has been in mind constantly for many years because of the inevitable necessity of tearing it away and the obstinate resistance to its despoliation. It has stood as a monument to the fidelity with which the pioneers builded, and, al though long since condemned, being sagged and tremulous, its services have not been forgotten by the fast passing generation of men who used It, and they have rallied repeatedly to preserve it. However, It Is no longer possible to retain it, even as a picturesque feature of the river. The old bridge was built by William Wernweg and Walter Blake and cost $18,000. It was begun in 1S31 and was first used in 1S34. It was an Important part of the National road, which was then being built from Cumberland, Md., to St. Louis. For over fifty years it was used for all the traf fic along the National road, and most of the time was the only means of crossing the river. When the new iron, bridge running at an angle with it was built it grad ually passed Into disuse, and many years ago was condemned and closed up. Since then It has passed through several critical periods and by the irony of fate survived its modern rival, which collapsed and fell into the river beneath It. The necessity for its demolition comes from the survey for the spans for the new steel bridge which is being built by the county. The plan calls for the location of the west abutment so that it passes the west end of the old bridge. There have been many sentimental suggestions as to the disposition of the timbers of this revered institution, but the one most readily approved by the less sympathetic generation is to have a portion of it removed to one of the parks and rebuilt in exact similitude of the old structure. There has been no official action so far in reference to the disposition of the bridge, but various recommendations will doubtless be now pressed. Special Council Meeting. Mayor Bookwalter has called a special meeting of the Council for Monday night. It is his purpose to again press the necessity upon the Council of making certain appropriations for the health department. The most important is the appropriation of $13,500 for the erection of a contagious disease hospital, and the mayor reannounces thai this Institution will be .placed at least three-fourths of a mile from any of the city limits. The ordinance for this and also for the appropriation or tor the prose cution of milk Inspection will be reintroduced, as they were defeated last Monday night. Another ordinance will ask $2,000 for the contagious disease fund to suppress smallpox. Improvement Defeated. The Improvement of Cornell avenue, from Thirteenth street to Nineteenth street, with asphalt, for which a resolution was finally acted on by the Board of Public Works, has been defeated by a remonstrance signed by thirty-two of the fortyone resident property owners. It is understood that the objection to the improve ment would be largely reduced If the im provement extended to Massachusetts ave nue, or if the specifications included other grades of asphalt than Trinidad lake. Gas Meter Snettestlon. Councilman McFarland has suggested that a vote of the consumers of natural gas on the meter question be taken during the next month. He says the consumers could easily show their sentiments by voting when they pay their gas bills as to whether they want meters and if so at what rate would they consider gas reasonable. He believes this would get at public sentiment better than any other method. He will probably ask the Council to indorse this plan. Mr. Ovemtreet's Letter. Representative Overstreet has written to Park Superintendent Power, saying that the published elevation of the new federal building on New Yrork street, fronting University Park, is not what the department Intends to build, and that no loading or unloading will be done on New York street, but will all be done inside the building.

A Unique and Enjoyable Concert Pro. cramme at Tomllnson Hall. Tomllnson Hall presented a pretty picture last night when a chorus of pupils from the public schools, assisted by the Manual Training High School orchestra, gave one of the most enjoyable concerts ever heard in this city by public school children. The chorus taking part was selected from among the grade students and the entertainment was for the purpose of showing the public the kind of work and progress that Is being made in music in the city schools. Prof. Edward Bailey Blrge, supervisor of music in the schools, directed the chorus. The M. T. H. S. orcheetra was accom panied by Mrs. E. J. Hankemeier. A large stage was erected for the occasion, upon which were seated the chorus of 600 pupils. The sight was a beautiful one, the girls being attired in white dresses, while the boys wore dark suits. The numbers on the programme wrere all well received and the singers showed excellent training. The rendering of national airs caused prolonged applause, as did the song, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," by Master Brlgham and chorus. The hall was filled, and the entire programme was enjoyed. Following la the programme: "Hungarian Dance" Brahms Orchestra. "Old Glory" Edgar Oliver Chorus with Orchestra. Songs a "There's Music in the Air" b "Blue Bells of Scotland" Chorus with Piano.

AN ARMY MUSKET'S LOAD JACOB SHAFFER EVIDENTLY 3IEAXT IT SHOULD DO DAMAGE. While in a Rage He Fired Into the Home of Joaeph and William Worland. Jacob Shaffer, living two miles south of the city, last night damaged the home of Joseph and William Worland. He succeded in tearing out all the window panes, knocking down the plastering and partially tearing away the weather boarding. To accomplish such destruction Shaffer used an old army musket that had not been fired since the war of the rebellion, it was said. Several members of the Worland family were slightly injured when the gun was fired, but not seriously. Flying glass and falling plaster did most of the damage. One of the Worland girls was injured slightly. The elder Worland was struck on the head byfalling plaster and suffered several small cuts. It appeared from the report of the policemen who investigated the shooting that strong drink, after a long period of sobriety, was the cause of the trouble. It was learned that Shaffer had fallen heir to a sum of money left him by relatives In Germany. He received this money early in the week. He then became Intoxicated, the first time for nine years. It was while suffering from the effects of liquor last night that he made an almost insane attempt on the lives of the Worlands. Shaffer had been down town with his wife all day making purchases. On their way home they took a street car to the end of Prospect street. From there they had to walk and were accompanied by two dogs. As the Shaffers with their dogs passed the home of the Worlands. one of the dogs ran up on the lawn and into the rear of the yard. The elder Worland ran out with a club and chased the dog away. The dog was interested in the yard and returned. This time Mr. Worland picked up a club, which he threw at the dog, striking him on the back and causing him to run down the road j-elplng behind his master. Shaffer returned and demanded an explanation from Worland. The latter walked away and pretended not to hear Shaffer. The latter, infuriated, turned and walked to his home, about one-half mile further south. He took from an old closet a shotgun that was said to have been used during the war. It was loaded, but with what no one knew. Shaffer with this weapon returned to the Worland home and. standing in front, raised the gun and calmly let the contents go. presumably on a mission of death. After firing the weapon Shaffer did not linger to ascertain the damage done, but returned to his home, where he was met by his frightened wife. She asked him If he had killed either of the Worlands, and he replied. "I guess so; that's what I went there for." Shaffer was not successful, however, for the injuries received by the Worland family were slight. The scare they received was greater, for they thought an "explosion of dynamite had taken place beneath their roof. H0YT-AVENUE CHURCH. Twenty-Second Anniversary of the CoiiRreRMtion Ohaervecl. The . twenty-second anniversary meeting of the Hoyt-avenue Methodist Protestant Church was held at the church last night. The Rev. M. F. IlifT, of Greenfield, preached the sermon. Thursday night a "crowning meeting" was held, at which the older members of the church gave short reminiscences of their work and of the congregation.

Lightning Disabled Twelve of Them for the Street-Car Company. Electric storms were a feature last night. The first came shortly after 7 o'clock and was accompanied by alarming lightning and heavy thunder, followed by a copious rainfall. Several others of a like kind followed. A peculiarity of these storms was the effect on the street-railway service, not less than a dozen cars being burned out and disabled. All but three were quickiy repaired and restored to service. The three had to be sent to the repair shop. The house of William Caruthers. No. 512 Buchanan street, was struck by lightning and set on fire. The loss was JÖ. Anderson III Building.

GOWNS FOR SUMMER WEAR

ELABORATE FASIIIOXS THAT niT FEW WILL CARE TO FOLLOW. They Will SngReit Simpler Stylea, Howerer, to Thoae Who Hold that Simplicity la Deat. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK, June 6. The latest rumor from Farls has it that 15C0 modes are coming, and that by autumn one may look for short skirts, pelerines and all the accessories thereof, and that meantime, fuller skirts are already here and that the best summer models are tucked, plaited or shirred at the hips instead of being drawn back closely and snugly. How far the prediction as to 1S30 styles may come true I am not prepared to state, although I have grave doubts as to the success of any such movement, but that fullness at the hips Is gaining favor is an established and self evident fact. What condition will be the chosen one when we are once more brought to consider cool weather and its garments It is impossible to foretell. With the return of heavier materials may, and very likely will, come the return to sheathlike effects, but, for the moment, when moussellnes, gauzes and chiffon make the fabrics under discussion, these tucked, shirred and plaited effects are essentially smart, although their close-fitting rivals have by no means fallen Into disuse and are clung to by many smart women as closely as have been the Eton and Bolero, which seasons of effort have failed to dislodge. The whims and caprices of the leaders In the world of dress are always difficult to forecast. Slaves to fashion, as they are said to be, they not infrequently rise in their might and absolutely refuse creations that have caused much thought, skill and patience to evolve. What they consider becoming they will have. If it be new as well as chic the better will they be pleased, but present something really ugly or unsuited to their need and see how promptly it will be cast aside no matter whence came the inspiration, what formidable maker's name it may bear. The 1S30 styles are not graceful, are not beautiful. As I have already stated, 1 feel little alarm over the prospect of their being revived. Their influence may be felt. Doubtless we shall see materials and designs that suggest the period, but between them and actual replicas is a big. big step that, in all probability, never will be taken. What concerns us most just now is the really lovely and attractive display of summer costumes, the new and fascinating wraps and the exquisite hats that are seen among the latest models. With June come fetes of all sorts, garden parties, festivals and all possible' outdoor functions. That May proved cold and forbidding by no means indicates that the month of smiles and roses will fail of her usual blue skies and exquisite tints. GOWNS FOR SUMMER. The more that spring meant so few opportunities for out-door life do we hunger for it now and the more eager and enthusiastic are the preparations therefor. Dainty flowered muslins, softest chiffons, delicate veilings and all the season's offering of beautiful fabrics are being seen in most satisfactory forms and, withal, not always so elaborated as one might expect. To be sure, having exhausted the list of woven possibilities some few costly gowns are shown with painted designs, but they are the few, and while charming, fill a limited need. As exquisite a chiffon gown as could well be imagined is made with a full , Spanish flounce at the edge of which Is painted a border of pale pink roses in almost reckless profusion. The lovely texture of the chiffon combine with the real skill of the artist to give a most satisfactory and desirable result. The color scheme is ideal and the whole effect as dainty, summerlike and fascinating as well could be imagined. But one success does not mean general advisability any more than the traditional single swallowmeans summer. More often than not colors are crude and results are unsatisfac tory. Painting, like every other form of art, must be rightly conceived and rightly handled to mean success. As work of the sort does does not come within the realm of high art it is, as a rule, left those who have little of the painter's skill and with results that make one dread the success of the whim. Where one such satisfying re suits as the roses on the chiffon Is aecom pllshed we may look for a dozen, if not a hundred, horrors that are entirely without charm, and are tolerated only because their wearers are ignorant or bow before that conjurer s term, "hand painted. Unless at its best, painting Is far less to be' desired than good woven or stamped designs. Inasmuch as the best must always be obtainable only by the few, let us hope that no wave of popularity will cause cheap Imi tations to appear. Less exclusive designs are to be found in many beautiful fabrics and made on admirable lines. A really superb importation of chiffon and lace Is so dainty and so beautiful as to go far toward proving my statement as to the satisfaction obtainable from stamped designs. The creamy white ground is patterned all over with applications of black Chantllly Inser tion which forms garlands held here and there by bunches of most realistic violets The skirt Is plain, much flared, and with a generous train. At the lower edge are three pllsse frills of plain white chiffon finished with tiny Chantllly edging and headed by bands of insertion. Down the center of the front breadth are connected circles, formed by applied white Chantllly that give a panel effect and which extend over the frills. The bodice Is the almost ubiquitous open blouse with a shawl collar and elbow sleeves and opens over a chemisette of pure white. The collar and fronts are edged with citcles of white lace that match the skirt and th collar Is finished with a single pllsse frill. the wide sleeves with three overlapping ones tnat give tne desired effect of much fullness and generous width. Scarcely anything more tender and lovely than the color combination could be devised, or anything more charming than the printed design be asked. Judged by such standards the painted materials must be well executed, indeed. If they are to pose as rivals of any strength. WHITE IS FASHIONABLE. Somewhat less costly and elaborate models might be quoted by the score. For cooler afternoons, and for those women who never quite like diaphanous gowns, voile in its many shades and textures Is a favorite. A really exquisite example of what the material can be made to achieve is in pale dove gray, with applications of cream guipure and 13 made with a skirt edged with three circular flounces and a blouse which closes so invisibly that none but an expert would dare guess wheie hooks lie hidden. The upper portion of the skirt is cut in nine gores that are all tucked diagonally and held by lace stitches in heavy cream silk. Each flounce shows three tiny tucks, and heading them is a wide applique of the lace. The bodice aIo is tucked and held by lace stitches and includes a yoke of chiffon and beautiful applications of lace. With the gown is an accompanying picture hat of cream fatiri straw with garlands of daisies and softening tulle. But no color, however lovtiv and exquisite It may bv, supersedes white. Early In the season the Riviera set the seal of approval on white gowns, and their popularity has been growing ever since. A charming costume that is all in a sort cream ton?, relieved only by a touch of color In the hat, is of poplin veiling with applications of fillet, lace, yoke and snug undersleeves of closely shirred white chitfon. In the cut of the skirt and blouxe there is nothing really new, but the sleeves are novel and a feature. Snug Irom the elbows up. they form wide, flowing portions btiow that point and are caught up to reveal the snug, unllned chiffon. The hat is cream straw, low. flat and broad and is draped with lace, but shows a superb green feather curling round the crown. Green, by the way, is peculiarly smart a the touch of color on a white gown, and is sen in thes-e beautiful plumes, in foliage and bits of velvet, but is never more effective than in the soft, curling ostrich feathers. This hat that I have Just described is admirable and exemplifies many things. Earlier In the season there seamed danger from overburdening with trimming, but as Is always the case the designs accepted by the best milliners end their clientele are comparatively simple. That shrewd observer of feminine dress who remarked that the cost of a hat is always In Inverse proportion to the material found upon it knew whereof he spoke. It Is the touch of skill, the blending of colors, the adaptability to the wearer

that mean success. It Is easy to simply pile on mases of trimming, while to achieve this other result means art.

POINT IV ES PR IT LIKED. Still simpler gowns are of net, musl!n and of mull, lace trlmmrd. and are as daintily charming as need be. Point d'esprlt Is a favorite and is always attractive. A fascinating model for a young girl Is white with edging and Insertion of cream lace, and is hung over silk veiled with net or fine lawn with an inter skirt of the net. Or.e seen within the week is tucked diagonally at the urper portion, the tucks running back from an insertion of lace at the center front and being quite an inch in width. ifeiow the tucks is a deep graduated flounce completely covered with pllsse frills, lace edged and headed by lace enterdeux. The blouse Is tucked at the lower portion, but includes an unlined yoke of strips of net and insertion, a plisse bertha and Hungarian sleeves, the full lower portions of which are unlired and allow fascinating glimpses of well-rounded girlish arms. A really charming flowered muslin combines a skirt, arranged at the hips In lingerie tucks and tucked at the edge, with an open blouse that is itseif tucked at the front and reveals a chemisette of tucked and lace-inserted mull. At the neck of ths blouse is a big square collar of white tucking that Is banded with lace insertion edtfed with black velvet ribbon and finished with a full frill of lace. The skirt serves to illustrate the tendency toward fullness at the hips and Is gracefully charming. Both it and a model in fine mull that Is shirred to form a hip yoke are admlraMa for garden-party wear and suit the younger contingent better than more costly fabrics. With all the gowns ruches or small pelerines, chiffon, lace or some similar delicate material appear so universally as almost to warrant being termed necessary adjuncts. Some of the latest are like tiny capes, with the fluffiest possible edges and long ties, and are exquisite, besides serving a practical end. No matter how perfect the day. coolness may be looked for with late afternoon. These lovely trifles, besides making a most picturesque effect, serve as just the needed wraps. An exquisite one, in cape shape, is cf cream lace over pllsse chiffon in white, and is as dainty as anything 1 have seen. The chiffon is arranged in two overlapping deep frills, and over them falls the soft creamy lace, which is extended to form long flchu ends that fall nearly to the hem of the skirt. Another consists of three Vandyke frills, of pllsse net. edged with ruched ribbon and flnlf-hel with long ties. Others, again, are of chiffon pllsse, or, take the ruffle or boa form and are round or nearly so. A lovely model, of this last sort is of moussellne made Into rose petals, myriads of which form the ruche. Still another is all white and of chiffon pllsse edged with tiny frilla of lace, and a more matronly ruffle Is of black point d'esprlt Inset with cream Alencon and finished with ends of black satin ribbon. In these accessories, as in the smartest gowns, white and black and white take precedence of all colors, but now and then one sees something charming and unique that defies all rule. A flmply exquisite toilet to be worn by a young bride at a fete that will be held during the month Is ot white silk mull untouched by color, but with an accompanying ruffle of chiffon showing a design of pale yellow roses on a white ground. The flowers are dim, shadowy, suggestive rather than realistic, and the ruche adds just a touch of piquancy to the gown, besides fulting the wearer to refection. The accompanying hat Is white chip with lace and pale yellow roses. MAY MANTON. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTON.

UTTI,I$ RED BEV1XS Mind Mnkr Peculiar Thing. Coffee almost kills some people before they are willing to admit that coffee Is really the cause of the trouble. Yet It is easy to break off the habit providing Postum Coffee, well boiled, is served in its place. A lady says.
