FRIVOLITIES
BRIMS OF ODD SHAPE
PECULIARITY OF HATS FOR MID
SUMMER WEAR.
Unfamiliar Lines Mark the Latest
Millinery Designs—Elaboration In
Trimmings Is Also a Marked
Feature of the Season.
There are many large hats displayed
for midsummer wear, and nearly all of
them show some peculiarity of brim,
either In upward lift or Indentations
or the manner of trimming. There
are sudden widenings or narrowings
also, giving the hat unfamiliar lines
about the brim edge, but these shapes
are nevertheless well balanced and be
coming about the face. As a rule
srowns are medium In size and dome
shaped, and there is departure from
this so Infrequently that the brim may
be said to be the essential feature on
which to center attention.
Resides the oddity of brims, it is
to be noted that the newest hnts show
much elaboration in trimmings. Bands
of net or chiffon, frills of lace, maline
folds, many flowers, velvet ribbons and
plumage, are nil cleverly mannged, so
that the composition of a single hat
includes three or perhaps Icur ma
terials. The art of the trimmer is
more evident in using this variety
than in simply placing a tuft of
plumes or a wreath of flowers on a
graceful shape. Both simply trirmmed
and elaborately made hats are at
tractive, but the latter are more in
teresting.
As an instance of this successful use
of several materials on one hat, one
of the rolling brimmed French sailors
In white chip may be cited. This
shape, with small dome-shaped crown,
was bound about the edge with black
Brussels net which extends in a fold
an inch and a.half beyond the brim
edge. Just inside this fold are two
rows of val. lace about two Inches
wide. This is laid in narrow side
p’nits. and one row overlaps the other
slightly. This Inside row is finished
with a close set wreath of tiny June
roses. A standing spray of roses, or a
bow of velvet ribbon could be used
with this brim treatment for the ad
dition of height with good effect, al
though the model had no trimming on
the crown.
SMALL COATS TO BE WORN
Fanciful Little Garments in Many
Materials Are a Feature of
the Season.
The most difficult part of the fitting
of an overdrapery is in keeping the
6ides straight and slim in outline. The
elit skirt is now accomplished with
an over-effect.
There is every indication that the
short, fanciful little coat in silk of one
kind or another is to be an important
item of the siymner outfit this year.
The eton, the bolero and a host of
models more or less related to these
two old friends are alrendy in evi
dence. the less closely related coatees
showing a leaning toward abbreviated
mantle or dolman lines, In keeping
with the übiquitous taffetas and their
bouillonees, ruching and quillings.
On the whole, these little wraps are
picturesque and piquant. Perhaps
some of them are a trifle too odd. but
that depends a great deal upon the
woman who wears them.
DIVIDING LINE OF FASHION
Marked Difference In Opposing Ideas
as to What Shall Be Given
Permanent Favor.
This, briefly, is the burning ques
tion of the hour: Shall we take seri
ously to the eighteenth century re
vival with !ts paniers. fichus and
pointed bodices, or shall we continue
to admire the flowing draperies dis
playing an obviously corsetless con
ditlon and a rather dowdy and exceed
ingly expensive simplicity?
Simplicity Is hardly the word for
the statuesque complexities of drapery
which some of the best people insist
on hanging on their bones to grace
every occasion Indoors or out of
them. They talk of nothing but pro
portion. line and harmony, and. to
practice what they preach, turn them
selves into living pictures for the ben
efit of the spectator.
All this is thanks to the designs of
nrtists who have chosen silks and
satins instead of paint and canvas
as a method of expression. Their
.clientele shudders at the rigid un-
MEMORANDUM PAD IS GOOD
Will Be Found of Much Value In the
Kitchen and Here Is Easy Way
to Make It.
Perhaps in no room in the house is
a memorandum pad more necessary
than in the kitchen, and the one shown

and art serge or art linen would do
equally well. In size. It is nine inches
in height and six Inches In width, and
a piece of stiff cardboard of these di
mensions should be procured and
Emoothly covered with the material
that has been selected.
At the jtop and bottom bands of
broad elastic are sewn across, and un
der these bands a large number of
sheets of notopaper may be slipped
and held in their plnces, and when the
uppermost one has been used, it can
be pulled from under the elastic in a
moment without disturbing the re
maining sheets underneath.
The pad is edged all round with
cord carried into three little loops at
each corner.
GIRDLE SHOULD BE NARROW
Important Fact That the Woman of
Middle Age Will Do Well
to Remember.
If the middle aged woman Insists up
on wearing a girdle, regardless of the
length or width of her waist, she
should have that girdle very narrow
with long ends extending to the hem
of her skirt. A certain well dressed
middle nged woman who looks much
slighter and taller than her true
measurements affects girdles of satin
or velvet ribbon of black or a deep
shade of a color.
The belt portion of the accessory
never Is more than an Inch broad and
goes about her waist, closing under
two long ends, which are drawn over
the belt, but not knotted or bowed.
And these ends are weighted Invisibly,
for that middle aged woman knows
that to figures proportioned similarly
to hers fluttering ribbons and frivolous
little trillings belong not.
Fashion’s Fancies
The mesh bag is still very popular.
Cotton corduroys are among the fa
vorite washing fnbrics.
The dead white hat Is unlikely to be
seen again this season.
Ruchlngs of old gold taffeta trim
many of the new gowns.
The cuirass effect on evening gowns
Is seen in many new designs.
Little black taffeta coats appear
with gowns of contrasting color.
Taffeta wraps, trimmed with ruching
of the same material, are very popular.
Little frocks of spring muslins will
be smart and pretty for summer wear.
With the lingerie dresses the hand
bags of lace or linen will be largely
used.
Flower-like ornaments with bands
of velvet are still popular for neck
wear.
Avoid wearing a light hat with a
dark gown, if you would really be well
dressed.

Chamoisette Gloves.
The woman who Is to travel much

DESSERTS.
Most of the sterner sex feel as If
they had been deprived of their just
dues and had not a perfect meal un
less they have had some kind ot a pud
ding or pie for dessert. "These trifles
light as air" do not appeal to their
taste. So even in warm weather,
when nn occasional cool day arrives,
Is a good time to prepare a heavier
dessert.
Mere is one to keep on hand and
steam up for occasions:
French Fruit Pudding.—To a cup of
finely chopped suet add a cup of mo
lasses and a cup of sour milk, then
two nnd three-fourths cups of flour
sifted with a teaspoon and a half of
soda, half a teaspoon of salt and
cloves, a teaspoon of cinnamon. When
well mixed add a cup and a fourth of
raisins and three-fourths of a cup of
currants. Steam four hours in a but
tered mold.
Sterling Sauce.—Serve this sauce
with the above pudding: Cream a half
cup of butter, ndd a cup of brown
sugar, a teaspoonful of vanilla and
four tnblespoonfuls of milk. Add the
milk drop by drop to keep the mix
ture smooth.
Fig Pudding.—Chop a third of a
pound of beef suet, add a half pound
of chopped figs; cream the suet before
adding the figs. Soak two and a half
cups of. bread crumbs In a half cup of
milk, add two beaten eggs, a cup of
sugar and three-fourths of a teaspoon
of salt. Mix ail together and steam
three hours. Serve with egg sauce.
Two beaten eggs, a cup of powdered
sugar and three tahlespoonfuls of any
fruit juice.

pound of maple sugar, broken in bits,
a' cup of thin cream and two table

DIET FOR RHEUMATISM.
Rheumatism is one of the diseases
which is especially influenced by diet.
In acute cases a fluid diet of gruels,
vegetable soups and all forms of milk
are used.
Alcohol Is especially tabooed, drinks
of lemonade without sugar, buttermilk
and fruit drinks are permissable. Sac
charin supplies the place of sugar
when needed without any of its harm
ful effects.
C.out is apt to follow an attack of
rheumatism because of : .0 large ac
cumulation of uric add i.i the system.
Whenever it Is found In the system,
even in small quantities, special at
tention should be paid to the dieL
One wise old proverb to follow Is to
“eat less, work more, worry less, walk
more."
Only just food enough to sustain the
body should lie eaten. Lating too
much is very harmful. Three slender
meals a day. with nothing between
meals, are sufficient.
Alcoholic drinks as well as sweets
and sugar should be avoided even In
mild cases of the trouble.
Oysters may be served In this diet
provided the hard muscle Is removed.
Milk seasoned with the oyster liquor,
when one tires of milk, makes a desir
able change.
Junket, or whey. Is borne by the
most delicate stomachs. Sweeten a
quart cf milk with saccharin, add a
tablespoonful of rennet or a tablet dis
solved in a tablespoonful of water, a
tablespoonful of lemon juice; let stand
until thick, chill and serve. Do not
shake, as the whey will separate from
the curd. The whey inay ba poured
off and used as a drink and the curd
giver as a food.
If milk causes gastric disturbances,
t may be peptonized. In a quart can
put five grains of the extract of pan
creatin, a pinch of baking soda and a
gill of water; shake and add a pint of

fruit picked after a heavy rain, espe
cially berries like raspberries, will

A Grasp of the Hand.
There are times when a grasp of the
hand is almost a sacred thing. In
sorrow it may Impart comfort or con
vey sympathy more effectively than
words. Again, it may be a warrant
of the reliability of friendship or a
pledge of honor; also an expression of
approval or of admiration. Did you

are not as good for jelly making as
those picked after drying off.
When canning pineapple try this
method: Slice the fruit or shred it
in the form desired, and cook it until
tender in clear water. Then use the
water with sugar to make a heavy
sirup to pour over the pineapple in the
cans. Seal and put away for win
ter.
A method of canning which Is so
good that every busy housewife should
at least try it, is this: Put the fruit
to be canned in the jars, have a thick,
rich sirup of sugar and water with per
haps some of the inferior or crushed
berries, though none of them should
be spoiled. Pour this boiling hot sirup
over the fruit in the jars and submerge
them in a boiler of lulling water, so
that four inches of water covers the
tops of the cans. They should be
tightly sealed. Cover the boiler with
an old carpet or rug and let stand for
twenty-four hours, then remove, see
that the tops are screwed tight, and
put away for the winter.
Currants for jelly making should
not be too ripe as the pectin is
changed to sugar and the jelly will
not jell. The last few days of June
the first days of July .are consid
ered the best time for currant jelly
making.
Currants and raspberries In equal
parts make a delicious jelly, the cur
rants supplying the pectin and the
raspberry the flavor.
Jelly should be drained slowly from
a Jelly bag hung and allowed to drip.
If the juice is squeezed out the jelly
will be ttrick and leathery in appear

To make a jelly bag. fold two oppo
site corners of a piece of cotton or
wool flannel three-fourths of a yard
long. Sew up In the form of a cornu

WHAT TO DO WITH LEFT-OVERS.
"Every day Is a fresh beginning”
with left-overs. They are like house
work, "powerful constanL” It is in
deed surprising what good and appe
tizing dishes may be prepared from
the combination of two or more foods.
To the frugal and saving cook, "all is
fish that comes to her net.” A cupful
of cooked spinach left from dinner
may be mixed with mashed potato, egg
and seasonings and sauted in bacon
fat, making a nice little luncheon or
breakfast dish.
An escalloped dish of rice nnd as
paragus left-overs is most appetizing.
Put a layer of cooked rice In a ba
king dish, pour over afeparagus which
has been served with white sauce, an
other layer of rice and asparagus and
finish with crumbs well buttered.
Bake until thoroughly hot. If there is
not enough of the asparagus, add a
hard cooked egg or two to the com
bination.
For a good dessert In an emergency,
try using this: Butter a few slices of
bread. lay them In a baking dish and
pour over cooked pieplant, or fresh is
better: sprinkle with sugar, put on an
other layer of buttered bread, cover
with the pieplant and bake. This des
sert may be covered with a meringue
or not as one likes.
Mutton Ragout.—Beat currant Jelly
until smooth, measure three table
spoonfuls in a hot saucepan, add a tea
spoonful of lemon juice and two ta
blespoonfuls of butter. When the but
ter Is melted, reheat thin slices’of
cold boiled mutton In sauce. Season
witht salt and paprika.
Minced Lamb.—Chop remnants of
cold roast lamb; there should be a
cupful. Put two tablespoonfuls of but
ter in a hot saucepan, and when melt
ed add the lamb, some salt, pepper
and celery salt, and dredge thorough
ly with flour; then add enough stock
or water to moisten. Serve hot on
small slices of buttered toast.
Dried bepf chipped in small pieces
and added to a rich white sauce makes
a fine accompaniment to baked pota
toes for a luncheon or supper dißh.

tVcHU-rn Newspaper Union Newsservice.
Winnipeg, Manitoba.—Four hundred
persons were killed and $10,000,000
damage done by a tornado which
struck Regina, Saskatchewan. Busi
ness blocks, apartment houses and res
idences were wrecked.
The Telephone Exchange building,
the Standard block, the First Baptist
church and the Baird Bottell building
are among the structures destroyed.
All telephone and telegraph wires,
with the exception of one telegraph
wire, are down.
A special train left Winnipeg with
doctors, nurses and telegraph and tele
phone repairmen.
The tornado came from the south
and first struck the new Parliament
building, just completed at a cost of
$2,000,000. The building is of steel an l
concrete and, while it still stands, it is
badly shaken. It then swept north
ward, mowing a swath six blocks wide,
through the most fashionable resi
dence district, transforming it into a
mass of wreckage.
Along Victoria street from Sixteenth
to Eleventh, 300 houses were de
stroyed and many persons killed.
Automobiles filled with people were
hurled high in the air and deposited
blocks away.
At'eleventh street the business dis
trict, composed of wholesale ware
houses, banking institutions and retail
stores, were sent into a heap of ruins,
while the air was filled with flying
wreckage. Past Eleventh, Albert,
Smith, Cromwell, Searth, Hamilton,
and Rose streets, the storm reached
the retail section, which received the
severest force.
Then the Canadian Pacific tracks
were reached: Six big grain elevators
toppled over, the timbers being piled
on the tracks.
Crossing the railway tracks several
of the largest wholesale houses in the
city were unroofed, their heavily-laden
floors falling to the bottom as then
supports were loosened.
Government has $32,000,000 Surplus.
Washington.—The federal govern
ment closed the fiscal year June 29
with a surplus of $32,000,000, accord
ing to estimates based on incomplete
returns from the sources of revenue
the country over. This amount far ex
ceeded the most sanginue expecta
tions of Secretary McVeagh, who
months ago estimated that the surplus
would be $10,250,000.
The surplus at the close of the fis
cal year 1911 was $45,082,000.
The failure of Congress to pass the
general deficiency and other appropria
tion bills which would have called for
large disbursements during the closing
days of the fiscal year helped the gov
ernment to pile up its surplus.
Another big element in the figures
was the corporation tax which, it is
calculated, brought in $2,0j00,000
against $33,000,000 last year.
Custom receipts yielded about $310,-
yOO.OOO this fiscal year, against $314,-
000,000 last, while internal revenue
(axes amounted to $292,000,000 against
$289,000,000.
The taxation on beer indicated that
the American people consumed G3.000,-
000 barrels during the year. The gov
ernment realized $149,000,000 in dis
tilled spirits, $G3,000,000 on beer and
$70,000,000 on tobacco.

CLARK LOSES
AFTER TWENTY-SIXTH BALLOT
CONVENTION ADJOURNS TO
REST OVER SUNDAY.
CLARK463;WILSON4O7
IN DESPERATION OVER SITUA
TION, SPEAKER COMES TO
CONVENTION.
Western Newspaper I'nlon News Seri In-
Baltimore. —Although many confer
ences were held Sunuay, when the
Democratic national convention met
Monday morning, the leaders were as
far from a settlement as they were
when they adjourned Saturday night,
after taking twenty-six ballots. They
reviewed the entire situation and
tried to devise some means by which
tlie warring factions could be brought
together, but. to no avail.
Forty-four Illinois delegates are
talking of deserting Speaker Clark
and voting for Governor Wilson.
Other detections are threatened. Wil
son supporters claim they are sure
to win. They need 13G for a major
ity. AJr. Clark needs 2G3 to win him
the nomination.
Amidst scenes of wildest excite
ment the Democratic national conven
tion. tightly deadlocked, adjourned
just before midnight Saturday to meet
Monday.
The drift was toward Governor
Wilson during the day's balloting, but
he has nothing like a majority of
the delegates as yet. While his
friends express the belief that he will
be nominated, the indications are that
he finally will be eliminated and a
dark horse chosen.
in desperation over tlie weakening
of his lines. Speaker Champ Clark,
who lias led in the voting up to the
present time, arrived in the city from
Washington Saturday night.
He rushed over from Washington
to speak to tlie convention before it
adjourned, but the tumultupus session
came to an end before lie arrived.
He is angeredxover his repudiation on
the floor of the convention by Will
iam J. Bryan.
It is his present purpose to go on
the floor of t lie convention and reply
to the bitter attack made upon him
by the man from Nebraska, who had
previously Indorsed his candidacy.
In denouncing Speaker Clark as one
of the candidates of the "interests,"
Mr. Bryan declared that the delegates
from Nebraska would vote for Ne
braska's second choice, Governor
Woodrow Wilson, so long as Speaker
Clark had the support of the New
York state delegation. The man from
Nebraska also caused a sensation by
declaring further war on the Morgan-
Ryan-Bolmont coterie of financiers
and aiming fierce shafts of invective
and criticism at the New York dele
gates who, he said, do not represent
tiie “honest democracy of the state.”
The situation is one of the greatest
confusion and uncertainty. Confer
ences are going on everywhere.
Representatives of the various can
didates t are speeding here from va
rious parts of the country preparing
for war to the finish and a titanic
battle in the convention. Booms are
weakening. New bogS# are being
talked up. dark horaPs are being
groomed for entry if the deadlock
continues.
Twenty-six ballots were taken . Sat
urday. At the conclusion of the vot
ing Speaker Clark had 463% votes.
Governor Wilson 407% and Represen
tative Oscar F. Underwood 112%.
Heroic efforts were made by the
Clark men to weaken the Underwood
lines. They were unsuccessful.
All kinds of offers and promises
were made for the support of the
Alabama mail's delegates, but they
were spurned. Mr. Underwood is de
termined to stay in the race to the
end. He has reasons for believing
that tlie honor may finally come his
way. •
How the States Voted.
Recording the roll call in the con
\ention is not a difficult task. Thirty
of the states and territories have vot
ed ballot after ballot without a
'change. Beginning with Alabama,
with its twenty-four votes for Under
wood, then comes Arkansas. Cali
fornia and Colorado, all Clark voles
without a break. Arizona was in that
list until one Clark man went to Wil
son. Delaware has always cast Its
six votes for Wilson, and then there
are forty more Underwood votes from
Florida and Georgia. Illinois has
been for Clark and Indian., has con
tinued to vote for Marshall. lowa,
Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, New Mex
ico, Rhode Island, Washington, West
Virginia, District of Columbia and
half the vote from Oklahoma have
been for the speaker ballot after bal
lot, with no change.
There are some states which always
make the tally clerk and reporters
pay attention. Cot*-lectlcut has been
changing its vote from time t 6 time,
and so has Michigan. In the early
balloting the Ohio vote fluctuated and
there have been many changes. The
Tennessee vote hardly ever has been
the same on successive ballots, but
the changes have been slight. It Is
likely that without the unit rule a
nomination would have been made
long ago. Many of the individual dele
gates* would like to break, but are
by a majority of the delegates
from their state. 5 It is certain that
New York would not cast its block
of ninety if the rule were abrogated.
What Will Bryan Do?
The uncertain situation over the
naming of the presidential candidate
has given rise to much speculation
among the leaders as to what move
will be made, if any, by W. J. Bryan
to break the deadlock, hut in an inter
view Mr. Bryan disclosed nothing.
Underwood for Second Place.
Representative Oscar W. Under
wood's strength in the presidential
race is indicated by the diligent ef
forts of Wilson managers to boom hint
for Vice President. "I think the tick
et will be Wilson and Underwood, a
winning combination,'’ said Senator
O'Gorman of New York. Senator Bank
head of Alabama laughed when he
heard it. "You can authoritatively
state,' he said, "that Mr. Underwood
Vculd not consider the vice presidency
on any ticket."

went into a barber shop the other day
to get a shine. He found three negro
bootblacks there. As one of them
rubbed Fairbanks’ shoes the subject of
women came up.

Wichita lawyers are 'yet talking
about the way Wallace B.’ Baker, who
was found guilty recently in tho dis
trict court of selling mortgaged
property, showed his ignorance of
married life. The prosecuting attor
ney was trying to show that Baker
wasn’t married. He asked Baker the
following questions:
"Did you ever send your wife any
dresses?"
"Yes, I sent her four dresses.’”
"What kind of dresses did you send
her?"
"I sent her one good dress and
three common dresses."
"How much did you pay for the
good dress, Mr. Baker?"
"Oh, I guess about $4.50."
The lawyer put Mr. Baker down
then and there as an unmarried man
and a poor guesser.—Exchange.

If some people hnve any good in
