BARGAINS FOUND AMONG
TRAVELING WRAPS
Extra >r.iln«r> barga.ns arc to he;
found among the traveling wraps
One s choice is not confined to two
or three materials <>r styles, for both
are extremely varied A plain, smart,
practical linen with braided collar and
cuffs coat* less than 15. A beautiful
coat in cloth of gold, trimmed with
black silk and large buttons, will be.
from $10 to $25. while pongee. Ida. k
and white checked light weight wool
len wraps will be about th*- same
price, one of the most luxurious is
a pongee lined with satin foulard.
A novelty in a wrap for an ocean vo> -
age is fashioned from a steamer rug.
the fringe used ae a trimming
A charming finish to the edge of the
britn of the mushroom shaped hats is
a band of trimming an inch or more
-wide that harmonizes with the dero
gation on the hat For Instance, a
-white chip hat wreathed with rose?
haJ as an edging a hand of Ida- k vel
vet ribbon embroidered with tiny
roaea. The Oriental bandings look well
on hats of burnt straw, hemp and
dark linen, when the trimmings are
of a rich quality. A fold of Persian
ellk or satin Will finish the brim of a
hat that Is draped with a scarf of the
Persian.
Extremely striking is an imported
Krench hat in a large mushroom
shape. The < row n is fairly high and
on the dome order The covering ts of
English eyelet embroidery worked in
a small con volitional design stretched
smoothly over a foundation of black
silk. The trimming consists of a large
bunch of roses in laded colors placed
on the left aide, small sprays of fol
iage spreading themselves from the
flowers around the crown, hut n*>i
meeting This piece of millinery is
tailed a lingerie hat.
To the variety of shoulder scarfs
there is surely no end < »ne of the
prettiest arrivals is of chiffon, white,
black and colored, shirred with heavy
cords. < >ne group is set on In center
back, the lower edge decorated with a
fringed ornament, while second groups
are set on juat below the line of the
Waist_-Th* *u4» are garb—i —d e+t the
oords and finished with fringe This
ts a convenient as well as a very pret
ty accessory, because the shirring
oords give weight and prevent any
•lipping from the arms, as chiffon lelt
plain is apt to do.
1 see the "mldy" blouses f-»r girls'
wear are decidedly Improved upon this
season. They are now much more
shapely, by reason of seams set in
from the shoulder*, both back and
front, in addition to those under the
arm. Few girls possess figures suf
ficiently well developed to look well In
the hag-like garment of last season,
but in Its modified condition the ma
jority of gtrls under eighteen years of
age can wear it with success.

OYSTKR BAY. N. Y. August IS. —
PYesli from his conference with Presi- •
| ‘lent Taft at Beverly, Lloyds Griscom, !
chairman of the New York County Re
publican committee, arrived here to
day. So anxious was he to get into
• touch with Colonel Roosevelt that he
i did not make the trip by train, but ran
i down over the muddy roads in his high
powered automobile. When asked
whether he carried a mess.ug** from
the president to the colonel he refused
i<* reply directly, declaring that anv
! thing he had to say would have to wait
until his conference ended.
One of the reasons for his visit was
to discuss with Roosevelt the proposi
tion that the latter be chairman of the
Republican State c Convention at Sara
toga. The call for the convention is
to be sent out to-morrow, and Griscom
is understood t»* have been told by
Roosevelt that he will be delighted to
be the temporary chairman and in that
j capacity to sound the "keynote” in his
• speech.
Friends of Roosevelt believed
that Griscom was the hearer of a
request that Roosevelt endorse be
fore starting West the new atti
tude of the administration toward
Gannon. Aldrich and Ballinger, and
they expressed the opinion that he
would be disappointed.
Endorse Himself.
Roosevelt will make his speeches
| exactly n» planned, they wrrtd. and
he will emphatically endorse what
have come t<> be known as the
R«»--*sevelt policlse and the men
who support them He will per
mit the Taft supporters t«* take
whatever comfort they desire out
of these speeches, it is declared.
Roosevelt, his friends here soy. can
not see any very material difference ’
between Senators Aldrich and Crane,;
s<> far as their prospective support of
! the progressive movement is con- |
| cerned.
The New York State Republican
' platform and prospective candidates
for governor were talked over at Saga
j more Hill to-day. It is understood
I that tlriscom suggested that the di
i rect primary plank should be emphatic
. and follow closely the recommends -
j tltons of Governor Hugb.es. On that
• point Colonel Roosevelt is expected to
hold a number of conferences in New
j York to-morrow with members of the
Republican State committee who are to
cab on him at his office there.

SIMPLE TAILORED MODEL
I1Y MR». JANE FORD.
Many of the new tailored waists show the double Gibson pleat at tb»
shoulders- and the yoke back, and they are Riven a soft, dainty femlnln#
touch that makes them unusually attractive by a frill arranged at th*
left side of the front closing. or by a pretty Jabot at the front of th* collar,
l’he waist shown here Is of this character, and may be elaborated as sug
gested.
The patern can be secured
In seven sis** that run fro*
thirty-two to forty-four I*
cites bust measure.
For these waist* silk*
looking white madras li
much ueed. a* well as linen
cotton, rep and pique Cottor
crepe, washable chiffon and
voile weaves are also In de
mand. All of these materi
als come twenty-seven and
thirty-six Inches wide, and
of the narrower width thret
and one-quarter yards will
be needed to develop this
model, but of the wider, tw<
and one-half yards will bs
sufficient.
White is always prettyi
and Is a general favorite fot
separate tub waists, but ne
one denies that It Increases
the laundry bills, and the
woman who wishes to econ
omise will plan to have col
ored morning waists.
For this purpose there ar*
charming figured or striped
percale, pique and madras lg
which white predominate*
but where there la sufficient
color to keep them from
showing soil readily.
A mode adopted this sea
son that Is pleasing Is to gel
the goods used for the waist
to match In color the suit 01
skirt with which It is worn,
and with th* great varlet*
of colors offered In both light
and heavy weaves of linen
the matching of shade* It
not a difficult matter.
As these tailored walstt
require little or no fitting;
with the exception of adjusting the waist line and distributing th* fulness,
they can be made by women who have had little experience In sewing.

REVENGE MOM
FOR AWFUL CRIME
1 *r. Agamanoff Was Accused of
Treachery by Russian Rev
olutionarv Parly.
TI KRIS, Aug 16.—“Agamanoff con
demnor) to death for treachery by
the control colonel of the Russian
revolutionary party.'*
This note found on a table to-day
In the apartment of the supposed
murderers cf Dr. Agamanoff Is the
only clue the police have to the Iden
tity of the man and woman who are
believed to have killed the doctor. It
proves to the satisfaction of the po
lice that the murder was an act of
revenge by the revolutionary party.
The suspected pair, who made their
escape in the forty-eight houra that.
Intervened between the murder and
the disvovery of the crime rented an
apartment on Moskaur street. The
woman in the case was of distinguish
ed appearance. Descriptions of her
husband have been sent throughout
Russia.
Shortly after arriving In the city
the couple asked for Dr. Agat»ian«!T.
caving that he had been recommend
ed to them. Dr. Agamanoff respd's.1
ed ami was evidently just In the act
<f writing a prescription when he was
slatn. His head was almost severed,
the work evidently being dune by a
hat het.
Two days later, the doetor not hav
ing appeared at his office, an investi
gation was begun, and the gruesvintn
discovery made In the Moskaur street
apartment.
The police have learned that Aga
manoff in his student days belonged to
the Moscow- group of the -revolution
ary party He turned on his compan
ions in a crisis and gave evidence to
the police that resulted In the con
viction of many of the group.
Agamanoff remained under polio*
protection until he had finished his
col lege course. He then moved to
Tlfils In the hope that he would es
cape the attention of the revolution
ary party.
