SILK FOULARD.
for a run into town on summer mornings. It is of the ever
popular navy blue silk foulard, with dots of white. Following
the accepted rule of modish designers, the gown, being of a
figured fabric, is cut on straight and simple lines, the severe J
princess effect being broken by the slight draping at the waist.
A pretty touch is given by the glimpses of plain blue taffeta
which appear at the neck, cuffs and between the slashes on
skirt and waist. Blue silk cords cross these slashes, joining
buttons covered with the plain taffeta. Hat of rough blue
straw simply trimmed with black velvet and huge wings,
shaded in dark blue and brown.

YOUNG GIRLS SHOULD DRESS
THE HAIR IN SIMPLE WAYS
t
Tresses Must Be Soft and Fluffy and Twisted
Into Loose, Graceful Knots?Pompa
dours Are Too Elaborate.
Simplicity should be the keynote of a
young girl's coiffure, but it Is an effect
not easy to attain in these days of elab
orate hair dressing.
Yet good taste cannot approve of a
young girl wearing large pompadours, and
one should leave such extremes for
those who are older. But that she may
show the InJluence of prevailing fash
ions, a small roll is conceded to her and
with this she will be quite satisfied if
only she will realize how much prettier
are softness and naturalness than hard
puffs, rolls, etc., of artificial make.
If a girl's forehead is low she may
part her locks, an arrangement that is
always extremely pretty, and has dis
tinction when it is becoming There are
rumors, too, from Paris, that before long
rolls.are to be abolished for smooth hair
and flat effects, a part being made in the
middle.
To use a roll a girl must divide the half
on top and then make another part across
the head to secure a portion under
which to place a small roll at either side.
Over this she may lay the tresses, fasten
ing them bark with a small comb on
eiiher side. A little pulling and patting
will make this conform to the most be
coming line for the face.

ABOUT THE HOUSE.
SOMETHING entirely new in house j
furnishings is a telephone shelf made !
of glass. It measures six inches square i
and is secured to "the wall by means of
three nickel brackets that come with the;
shelf. The price is $1.50 complete. It is J
clean and sanitary.
Another dainty article is glass and
nickel in a matchbox intended for bath
room use. It has a nickel match re
ceptacle and a removable glass tray
which receives the burnt matches. This,
too, is new and costs $2.
A luxurious addition to the bathroom
that is new this season is a white enam
eled stool, fitted with four strong legs
and finished with a top of cork fully
half an inch thick.
This is much more comfortable, being
non-slippery, when one wishes to sit while
i drying the feet, and, of course, it ab
sorbs the water, drying quickly after
ward.
It is extremely strong and well finished
i and may be bought for
The Smart Shoes.
From Harper's B?zar.
The high Cuban heel is a feature of all
street shoes and ties, except the new
directoire shoes. These, as a rule, have
the Louis XV heel, with the classic san
dal back rising almost to an ordinary
shoe height. They strap the limb just
above the ankle, where a bow finishes
the strap. These come principally in
champagne suede or in the bronze and
gray glace finishes. As they have fairly
substantial soles and heels, they will
meet with general favor for even practi
cal afternoon dresses. Four and si*
strapped slippers in bronze are also
among the sumer carriage shoes. For
dinner and party toilets the low slipper
is made up of material matching the
dress, often beautifully elaborated with
Jet or pearl beads or metal embroideries.
There is also a new dancing slipper or
pump, which is made with a very low
vamp and a high Cuban heel. This Is
finished with a full bow of crinkled silk
over the toe portion.
Women who are smartly conservative
will continue to wear that practical shoe
having a patent leather vamp and a dull
kid top, but the patent leather portions
are usually laid over the kid In scal
lops or .with perforated band effects.
tie above the nape of the neck, twisted
and securely pinned. The rope thus
formed is twisted into a loose figure
eight, and according as it is pinned in
original length or "telescoped" will be
fiat or stick out.
If a girl decides to pull out the hair to
get the prevailing knot effect, she must
be careful not to make it too prominent,
or the result may be grotesque. When
the coiffure is complete it should be low
on the back of the head, an angle at
which her hat will rest securely, and
that should be becoming./
The young woman with the high fore
head may not part her hair in tlve "middle
Instead she should have a few short soft
locks which are curled and lay against
the high forehead to make it lower In
effect. I do not care for a roll under
her pompadour, for If she brushes her
hair back loosely and softly and ties It
with a wide ribbon near the back of the
top of the head, she will have a most
becoming foundation for her coiffure. I^et
her then twist her hair into a loose but
not sloppy looking knot and pin It just
below the bow, always taking care to
keep the hair loose against the head. This
is more effectually done by brushing up
than by combing. During the day and
for the street a wide black ribbon is
smart, but for the evening the bows may
match the light house dress worn.

How to Save Half
On Milk
tying your milkman twice what you'd pay for Van Car
ay more by the quart. Then think of the waste?the milk
milk vou use ud to save. For vou rarelv set iust milk eno
You are paying more for impure milk than
you would pay for pure.
That half-milk you use in your cooking
costs more than rich Holstein milk.
Von can have a cow in your kitchen for less
than 3*ou pay toward the keep of your milk
man's cow.
If Van Camp's cost twice as much as raw
milk it would still be essential. There is
nothing more vital than getting pure milk.
But when Van Camp's costs half as much,
for what possible reason can one cling to
raw milk?
Let us discuss the facts.
Surprisingly Rich
You'll be surprised at the richness and
flavor which Van Camp's gives to a milk
dish.
You'll wonder what we have added to
make it so good.
But we add nothing at all.
The difference is this: You were cooking
before with half-milk. For milkman's milk
separates, before and after you get it.
The butter fat rises and the solids fall.
So you never get the whole, rich milk.
In Vgn Camp's you do. You'll never again
be content with half-milk when you once
cook with Van Camp's.
Not Altered
Van Camp's is simply rich Holstein milk,
with two-thirds the water evaporated. Noth
ing whatever is added. Nothing is subtracted,
save water.
It's not a peculiar milk.
Tt is taken fresh from the cow and evapo
rated, close to our numerous dairies.
It is sterilized after the can is sealed. So
it comes to you as fresh as it leaves us.
The slight almond flavor?apparent only
when one drinks the milk cold?is due to
sterilization.
For cooking or coffee. Van Camp's tastes
exactly the same as raw milk or cream, save
for additional richness.
It's Economical
Van Camp's is as thick as thick cream?so
thick that you add one part water for coffee.
Yet it doesn't cost half what you pay your
milkman for cream.
Add two parts water and you have rich
milk. The cost of such milk, when you buy
Van Camp's by the case, is about six cents
per quart.
Then you have no waste?no milk left
over. For Van Camp's means a cow in your
kitchen.
One often spends for Vaa Camp's Milk
about half what she paid the milkman.
Think of buying milk from hand to mouth
?buying a half-milk laden with .germs?and
paying more than one pays for Van Camp's.
Free From Germ*
Van Camp's is perfectly sterile.
We milk no tubercular cows. We employ
no sickly milkmen.
Our dairies are sanitary. Our creameries,
where the milk is evaporated, are built with
out wood. We make a business of cleanli
ness.
We employ every means known to science
to guard our milk from infection.
Then the milk is pasteurized.
Every drop of raw milk contains a myriad
of germs. And those germs are humanity's
most terrible foes.
Van Camp's contains none at all. It it
safe.
A Warning
Van Camp's is not like a condensed milk,
which is half sugar. Ours is nothing but
milk.
Analysis of Van Camp's shows about 8 per
cent .of butter fat. That is because we us?
very rich milk and evaporate two-thirds of the
water.
Rut one may take out much less of tha
water and still have '"evaporated" milk.
So there is need to be careful. Don't think
that all milks are alike. Van Camp's costs
no mote than many brands which cannot
begin to compare with it.
You will get the utmost in milk if you in
sist on Van Camp's.
Van Camp's Milk comes
in 5 and 10-cent cans, at
your grocer's. It is put
up at our dairies, in five
stales, where we milk 20,000
Holstein cows.

SIR HARRY MACLEAN'S RANSOM
British Government Settles With
Morocco?-Raisuli's Part in Deal.
Special Cablegram to The' Star.
FEZ, May 24.?The British government
has settled with Morocco for the ransom
paid by i^ for the release of Sir Harry
Maclean, who was captured by the bandit
Raisuli. Raisuli is to restore $55,000 out
of the $100,000 paid by the British gov
ernment for Kaid Maclean's ransom. The
sultan is to take $2i).000 worth of Rai
suli's house property at Tangier and his
majesty will pay this sum, in addition to
the remaining $25,000, thus completing the
$100,000.
The position of the Moorish treasury
rendered the immediate payment of $45,
000 by the sultan almost impossible, but,
as the installments will be paid by -lie
state bank within the next three months!,
the conclusion is considered ver. satis

TRAGEDY ON LINER.
Woman Killed and Her Husband
Surrendered to Authorities.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, May 24.?From Marseille
comes an account of a tragedy which
occurred on board a French liner which
left that port three weeks ago bound for
Australia and New Caledonia. Among
the first-class passengers was a wine
merchant of Bordeaux, who was accom
panied by his wife and their infant child.
One evening, while they were In the Red
sea, he went to his cabin and found it
empty. Recognizing: his wife's voice in
the adjoining cabin, he entered it and
found her holding the baby* in her arms
and a man hiding behind the door. He
told the man what he thought of his
conduct, and as his wife was hurrying up
to the deck he bade her to go to their
cabin. She obeyed, after confiding the
child to a lady, and presently four revol
ver shots were heard, and when some of
the officers of the ship rushed into the
cabin they found the woman lying badly
wounded on the floor.
She expired the next day and her hus
band was handed over to the British
authorities when the steamer arrived at
Aden, and will soon be on his way back
to France.
APPEAL TO THE VATICAN.
Ruthenian Catholics Here Protest
Against Marriage Ban.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
ROMF', May 24.?The Ruthenian Catho
lic community in the United States, num
bering some 300,000 members, chiefly im
migrants from Austria-Hungary, have
sent a deputation to the Vatican to pro*
test against the withdrawal of the privi
lege to marry heretofore enjoyed by their
clergy.
In 1892, when Mgr. Ortensky was sent
by Rome to North America as first resi
dent bishop, the Catholic priests whom he
had to rule were mostly married men
with families. Some years later the holy
see made an effort to enforce celibacy.
The position taken by the holy see is
that while it does not intend to revoke
the marriage concession in the case of
priests of the eastern uniate churches
ministering among their native environ
ment, it cannot recognize tills right of
taking a wife in the case of Ruthenian
missionaries who go beyond seas to evan
gelize their co-religionists in lands where
the Latin rite holds sway.
Pius X is the more sternly resolved to
admit of no compromise, because at the
present time the anti-celibacy movement
is rapidly growing among the Roman
Catholic presthood in European countries.
