For Late Summer
SERVICE FOR MUTES' POULTRY BEING PREPARED
BY OKLAHOMA STATE FAIR
Texas Church Whose P^lembers
Are All Deaf.
Foreshadowing already what |
we may expect for the coming
fall season, the hats for late
nummer Indicate that we shall have
many bonnet-like shapes, tall crowns
and large hats few In number as com- j
pared to small and medium sized j
models. Outing hats for July and An- j
gust are of felt In white or light
colors, such nB Alice blue, champagne
and the season's beautiful pink tones. ;
These are either all felt or felt and
hemp combinations and nre trimmed j
with scarfs, bands, soft draperies of
chiffon and wings or ribbon. They
are exquisite and, it must be con- '
fessed, fragile In the matter of keep-
ing clean. Hut they remain present-
able for some time and are cleaned
with fine sandpaper. Everywhere the
floating white veil accompanies these
cool-looking creations of the milliner.
The vellB are of lace, In several va-
rieties, in coarse silk nets and in
chiffon. They are all washable and
add Immensely to the attractiveness
of the hats and the complexion, for
they are worn either over or off the
face.
in the trimmed models pictured here, |
One of the cone shaped hats, ol !
which we may expect to see numbers
during the fall season, is shown in I
the illustration. It Is trimmed with j
a full ruche of silk "pinked" at the
edges and laid in quadruple box-plait
Ings. Velvet fruit, like plums, cher I
ries or even apricots, set in these |
meltings make a trimming chic and
striking. Velvet fruit, In l'act. Is de- j
veloping so much popularity that it j
will probably stay with us and add a i
charming note to winter millinery,1
and hats made of felt in the shape
pictured here are quite like to be
trimmed in the same way.
A model of black hemp, with a mod-
erately tall crown. Is also shown. It
is calculated to pave the way for ex-
tremely high-crowned models, or
crowns trimmed extremely high,
which Taris says, are to be a vogue
for winter. This soft-crowned model
makes use of the feather band about
the brim edge and is finished with a
cluster of upstanding plumes at the
back. An ornament made of plaited
ribbon finishes the trim, poised on the
Crying Babies or Late Coders Do Not
Disturb This Congregation—Com-
municants Are of All Cr«eds
and Followings.
Fort Worth, Texas—Sermons with
never a spoken word, congregational
singing without an audible note of
melody, public prayers in which there
Is no sound, Sunday school teachers
whose lips are Inarticulate All these
art* incidentals of the Sunday services
of a Fort Worth church.
The pastor Is not disturbed by cry-
ing babies, and ihe late comers do
not take the trouble to tip-toe, but let
their heels fall noisily on the uncar-
peted floor. The belfry that tops the
building is purely ornamental, lor no \
member of this unique congregation
couid hear any bell Invented.
No church In the United States is
like It. It Is the only church in the
whole country whose congregation Is
composed wholly of deaf mutes.
The sixty or more deaf mutes living
in Fort Worth organized the congrega-
tion, called the First Evangelical j
church for the deaf, in 1907. The real j
founder Is the Rev. .1. W. Michaels of |
Louisville, Ky„ who is still the pas-
tor, although he can make only four j
visits a year to Ills voiceless flock.
The building, a neat and substantial
structure, was built solely by deaf
mutes The pulpit was carved by the
Sunday school superintendent, G. W. j
Sheppard, who is a skilled woodwork-
man.
There Is no church debt. None of
the members Is wealthy, and the con-
gregation has had a hard struggle.
But it has won because the members
are very proud of having the only deaf
mute church in the United States and
are correspondingly loyal.
The church is interdenominational.
Creeds are sunk ir. the common in-
firmity. In the roster of 40 members,
a half-dozen denominations are repre-
sented. Tile pastor is a Baptist, but

Indications point to one of the big-
gest exhibits in the history of the
biggest expositions ever before held
in this state. In order to accommo-
date the increased demand for space
and coops, the State Fair Association
has just received and installed a solid
car load of the finest coops made.
They are of wire and wood, with en-
amel facing.
Announcement is made that the
State Fair will give no less than
banded, and no male bird will be al-
lowed in the pen.
Any number of specials have been
offered by seed houses for the best
displays of various chickens and the
American Black Minorca club will give
handsome silk ribbons for the best
cock, hen, cockerel, pullet and pen, to
be competed for by members of the
club only. John W. Nicely has charge
of the poultry department of the big
lair and he says the spacious building
at the southern end of the ground*
will hardly be large enough this year.

AFTERNOON DRESS. TO PREVENT SAGGING SKIRTS
Peacock blue Irish poplin is cnoscn
for our model. The plain skirt has
a row of satin-covered buttons sown
part way up the seam at right side of
front
The bodice has a yoke of white
tucked ninon over peacock blue; a
braided or fancy silk waistcoat sur
rounds the yoke. The sides are of
material; they are carried down over
th top of sleeves, which have fancy
cuffs edged with ninon frills.
Hat of peacock blue straw with a
puffed crown of ninon to match, and
trimmed below by a wreath of pale
pink rosea.
Materials required: 4V4 yards pop

Summer dress skirts when made ol

they are hemmed and finished if care j
is not taken to prevent ii. A good way
to do is to have the skirt sagged flrst
before it is turned up to be hemmed
This Is done after the skirt is com '
pletely finished excepting the hem, 1
from the hand to the final fitting and i
the last hook and eye is in its place
The skirt Is now hung In a closet or, ,
better still, put upon a full length |
dress form raised from the floor by ,
placing it on a box, and the bias por i
tlons of the gores weighted so they
will stretch to the fullest extent.
After several days of this strain the
material will have sagged to its full- j
est extent, and the hem may be meas-
ured and turned up. Anything will
do for weighing. The smallest weights
from the kitchen scales, put in tem-
porary coverings of muslin and pin-
ned on. are excellent Any other small
objects of uniform heaviness will do
for other weights.
A Curious Fashion.

posed to immension. he does not hesi-
tate to use the sprinkling or pouring
method of baptism.
Because of the long lapses between
the visits of the pastor, a large part of I
the ministerial duties fall upon tho
Sunday school superintendent.
The service begins when Supt. Shep ]
paid mounts the rostrum. First is roll
call. With the record before him, the
superintendent, by signs, calls off 1
the name of each member, and each
person present responds in the sanvo
fashion.
The Apostles' Creed is recited in
unison. The uniformity of gestures
is not the result of careful drilling,
but comes as naturally to the worship-
pers as speech to the average person.
Supt. Sheppard then delivers a short
sermon, taking the Sunday school text ,
for the day for his subject. He is
known as an "eloquent man" by th
j members of the silent congregation ,
His delivery has an earnestness that
! impresses even those who cannot un i
derstand his signs.
At times he "talks" rapidly, hla
] facile fingers, accompanied by full
I arm gestures, working with a speed
that taxes the attention of his audi j
ence. Again, for the sake of greatel j
emphasis, the words come slowly, lin j
geringly, from his finger tips, and one
may well imagine that he is an adept
in his silent art of oratory.
The eyes of the members nevet :
wander from the speaker, since,
through their e>es alone, can they re
ceive his message.
At the close of the superintendent'*

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judge's Opinion of Grape-Nuts.
A gentlc-man who has acquired a ju-
dicial turn of mind from experience
1 on the bench out in the Sunflower
Slate writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts
l es food. He says:
"For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indls-
| pensable necessity in my family's
■ everyday life.
"It has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
1 practically abolish pastry and pies
I from our table, for tho children prefer
| Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition—as a preventive of
j disease it is beyond value. I have been
1 particularly impressed by the benefi
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It
; clears up tho complexion wonderfully.
"As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience Is that one small dish of
| Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound of
I meat for breakfast, w hich Is an Impor-
tant consideration for anyone. It sat-
isfies the appetite aiul strengthens the
power of resisting fatigue, while Its
use involves none of the disagreeable
consequences that sometimes follow
a meat breakfast," Name given by
