STYLE AND ECONOMY
WOMAN OF TASTE CAN MAKE
THREE GARMENTS DO.
Discretion Must Be Used In Selecting
Style and Material—Is Then Pre-
pared to Meet Any Social
Emergency.
The woman who understands mak-
ing a good appearance, and who, In
this event, would buy her materials
with taste and select styles with dis-
cretion, finds no difficulty In making
three garments the basjs of her sum-
mer wardrobe. These would consist
of a trim tailored suit for street wear,
a dressy Indoor gown that could be
varied with gulmpes and other ac-
cesories and an attractive wrap for
evening and fine afternoon wear.
With this triolet of pretty things not
too smart or too simple for day or
evening occasion, she Is provided for
any social emergency, and may travel
with eclat In Europe or stop at good
hotels In her own country. Acces-
lorles would be In corresponding slm-
arms for sleeves. Some short wrap
styles suggest the talma of the six-
ties, the same sharp points being used
at the front, with the rounded backs
a little shorter or longer.
Soft silks in rich colors or else In
pure white are -U£ed under marquis-
ettes, veilings and grenadines for
these becoming and needed garments.
But If In kimono style, they are still
more frequently unlined, as It is quite
the thing to have the lines of the fig-
ure show through, and if the gown it-
self is made a rich color the slight
veiling made by the coat makes It still
more effective.
Our Illustration shows a short coat
section of a plain gored skirt, the two
pieces representing an unusually
smart model for the street suit. The
gown material Is a champagne-colored
summer serge, the banding is of white
guipure put over black taffeta and the
little watered pieces on the revers of
the coat are of moire poplin in a pale
azure. The buttons of the coat are
also covered with the blue.
A very becoming feature of this
short jacket Is the shaping of the sides
and sleeves In one, this resulting In
one-piece sleeves on the kimono order.
The back Is In one piece and the
double breasting adds much to the
jauntlness of the short cut. A coat
cult with such dressy, flaring revers
and short sleeves, even If trimmed
rather plainly, could, with suitable ac-
cessories, be made almost the piece
de resistance of the summer wardrobe.
Then if the figure is solid enough not
to need extra thickness there are
many textures that could be made up
without a lining such a surah, white
alpaca, poplin, etc.: the revers, collar
and cuffs could be soft finished, too,
so that the whole costume would have
a summery look, whatever its color.
HAD BEEN SILENT SUFFERER
tubordlnate Officer the Recipient of
Hint# Intended for His
Superior.
A sea captain's wife tells this story
of a maiden woman, sister of one of
the owners of the ship on which she
once made a long voyage. She had
very decided opinions on most mat-
ters, and she and the captain had
many spirited arguments at the din-
ner table.
The captain's wife, a meek, submis-
sive little soul, fearing that In the
heat of argument her husband might
say something to offend their august
passenger, was In the habit of kick-
ing him on the shins to hint at mod-
eration. Nevertheless, all these re-
minders passed unheeded.
One day she administered a more
vigorous kick than usual, and noticed
an expression of pain flit across the
face of the mate, who sat opposite
her.
"Oh, Mr. Brown, was that yor.r
shin?" she asked.
"Yes, Mrs. Ulalkle," said the mate,
meekly, "hit's been my shin hall the
"oyage, ma'am."—Youth's Companion.
"The Bard of Odon."
The Rev. George F. Culmer, "the
bard of Odon," celebrated his eighty-
sixth birthday the other day. The
Rev. Mr. Culmer was born May 22,
J825, in Kent, England, during the
reign of George Frederick (George
IV.), for whom he was named. At
the time of his birth John Qulncy
Adams was president of the United
States.
Dr. Culmer has been a minister for
many years In the Methodist Episco-
pal church, until his advance^ age
made It necessary for him to retire.
He Is a scholar and poet. Many of
his poems have been published In
magazines and newspapers.—Wash-
ington Correspondence Indianapolis

REVIVAL OF GOLD BEADS
String of Alternate Plain and Chased
Beads Is One of Latest Nov*
elties.
Gold beads are in fashion. Old
strings that have not been worn
should be brought out and If tar-
nished they can be brightened by hot
soapsuds or a good silver polish.
The newer beads are larger than
the old ones, some the size of a small ** were not for their long faces
pllclty—one good hat for day, with ex-
tra trimmings to put on when some
special dressiness called for it, a neat
pair of day shoes and smarter black
■Uppers and two pairs of white ones;
a soft silk petticoat, a long underslip
for the indoor dress, etc.
In making the summer wrap so
much latitude is allowed for cuts, ma-
terials and colors that one needs to
consider mainly becomlngness and
cost. Something loose and of airy tex-
ture Is desirable, but the Wrap style
may be In kimono form, a species of
short mantle, or be In the shape of a
long, perfectly straight scarf, looped
at the back and caught under the
VEILS FOR YOUTHFUL BRIDES
marble. These are not in good taste.
A novelty Is the string of alternate
plain and chased beads. Sometimes
the entire string Is of encrusted gold
ones, but they are hard to keep clean.
A collar effect made of rows of small
beads Is becoming to the girl with a
slender throat. One of the new de-
signs has nine rows, each bead not
larger than an ordinary plnhead.
Gold beads are not especially be-
coming worn next to the skin, so they
should be used to brighten a dark
gown rather than for a decollete
frock.
Showed Tact of King.
It was the order of the day at a
late shoot at Sandringham that when
pheasants should not be shot, and one
of the guests brought down a hen
which fell near King Edward's place
in the line. Anxious not to hurt the
offender's feelings by an over rebuke,
the king pointed to the corpus delicti
and said: "Ah, Gurney, what a man
you are for the ladies!"—Life of Ed-

"I was suddenly roused from my
slumber by three loud knocks on the
door. Jumping to my feet and into a
bathrobe, I hastened to see what was
wanted. I opened the door In time
to see a young fellow half way up the
flight to the next floor.

The Old Gag.
Miss Lillian B. Rowe, at an adver-
tisement writers' dinner in Denver,
said of the harem skirt:
"It will soon be so widely worn that
the old gag, perpetrated In the'40s on
men, may profitably be revived for
women victims.
"Some sharper, you know, will re-
vive the gag by advertising In the
Ladies' Own—
" 'Send $1 and learn how to keep
your harem skirt from becoming
fringed at the bottom.'
"Thousands of dollarB will pour In,
and to each victim the sharper will
reply:
" 'Wear knickers.'"

Raw-Edged Tulle Is Most Favored—
Girls' Height Decides Quantity
Needed.
The veil most approved for very
youthful brides Is of raw-edged tulle.
The girl's height decides the quantity
needed, as well as the length of her
skirt. The drop over the face Is far
shorter than that at the back, and
after the veil Is adjusted on the head
the bottom is slashed with big shears
to follow the lines of the skirt.
A Juliet cap, made solidly of orange
blossoms, Is a pretty flnlsh for a tulle
veil. It Is put on after the tulle Is
arranged on the head, and the veil
may be slashed away at the front to
show only a little ruffle under the
cap; but tradition still calls to a great
extent for veiling the face, even
though many brides prefer the veil
that drops only at the sides and back.
For dresses trimmed with beads the
Juliet caps are in matching pearls or
crystals, the flat tops and bunchy
sides of the little fixing proving a
*ery becoming finish to the fac*
Coat and Dress Sets.
Some of the most attractive coat
and dress sets, consisting of sailor
collar and large turnoack cuffs, are
phown in white mouBseline or plain
Swiss, with no further elaboration
than a hemstitched hem. This fol-
lows the strong French vogue for sim-
ilar effects in large bertha* and col-
lars that are used on dressy gowns.
Hemstitching, by the way, is a fav-
orite feature on French gowns and
accessories of almost every kind of
fabric, and can be used with excellent
advantage on neckwear.
A Judy cap arrangement is very
popular for the lace veil, a gathering
of one corner of this, under a wreath
of orange blossoms giving the cap
look. The cap part sits low down on
the head, and at a smart wedding the
head fixings of the bridesmaids may
be genuine caps covering the head in
this mop way.
These are the two arrangements set
forth by fashion as the newest styles
for bridal veils, but as becomlngness
Is still a most important matter, many
brides have their veils caught up at
the last moment in any way that suits
the face. So there are veils that hang
only at the back of the head, tulle
veils that hang over the face or that
leave it exposed, high head arrange-
ments and low ones. But if one wants
the absolutely fashionable thing, have
some sort of a broad low cap fixing
for the top of the head, a mop gath-
ering for lace, and the Juliet bonnet
for tulle.

Your Physician
Because there Is always room at
the top some people make It u point
to begin there and work down.—Phil-
adelphia Press.
To tell you the curious story ot how Ihe mintl
affects the digestion ot food.
/ refer to the condition the mind Is In, just
before, at the time, or just following the taking
of food.
ft he has been properly educated (the major-
ity have) he will help you understand the curious
machinery of digestion.
To start you thinking on this Interesting
subject, / will try to lay out the plan In a genera I
way and you can then follow Into more minute
details.
Pawlow (pronounce Pavloff) a famous Russian Phy-
sician and Chemist, experimenting on some dogs, cut
Into the tube leading from the throat to the stomach.
They were first put under chloroform or some other
anaesthetic and the operation was painless. They were
kept for months In very good condition.
When quite hungry some un-appetlzing food was
placed before them and, although hunger forced them
to eat, It was shown by analysis of the contents of the
stomach that little If any of the digestive juices were
found. *
Then, In contrast, some raw meat was put where they
• couldn't reach It at once, and a little time allowed for
the minds of the dogB to "anticipate" and create nn ap-
petite. When the food was finally given them, they de-
voured It ravenously and with every evidence of sat
isfactlon. The food was passed out Into a dish through
the opening before It reached the stomach. It was
found to be mixed with "Ptyalln" the alkaline juice of
the mouth, which Is Important for the first step In di-
gestion. Then an analysis was made of the contents pf
the Blomach, into which no food had entered. It was
shown that the digestive fluids of stomach were flowing
freely, exactly ns If the desirable food had entered.
This proved that ft was not the presence of food
which caused the digestive juices to flow, but the flow
was caused entirely and alone as a result of the action
of the mind, from "anticipation."
Ono dog continued to eat the food he liked for over
an hour believing he was getting It Into his stomach,
w hereas, not an ounco went there; every particle went
out through the opening and yet all thlB time the di-
gestive juices flowed to. the stomach, prepared to
quickly digest food, in response to the curious orders of
the mind.
Do you pick up the lesson?
Unappetizing food, that which falls to create mental
anticipation, does not cause tho necessary digestive
Juices to flow, whereas, fuiwi that is pleasing to the
sight, aud hence to the mind, will cause the complicated
machinery of the body to prepare In a wonderful way
for Its digestion.
IIow natural, then, to reason that one should «!t down
to a meal In a feaceful, happy state of mind anil start
off the breakfast, say with some ripe delicious fruit,
then follow with a bowl of crisp, lightly browned, thin
bits of corn like Post Toastles, add a sprinkle of sugar
nnd some good yellow cream and the attractive, appetiz-
ing picture cannot escape your eye and will produce the
condition of inind which causes the digestive Juices
nature has hidden in mouth and stomach, to come forth
and do their work.
These digestive Juices can be driven back by a mind
oppressed with worry, hate, anger or dislike of the dis-
agreeable appearance of food placed before ono.
Solid facts that are worthy the attention of anyone
who esteems prime health and human happiness as a
valuable asBet In the game of life.
