Strong bid for a favorite leather this season, and in some cities it will take Its place with the russets, browns and tens. White shoes are going t6 have a goc<" sale with fabric shoes, while buckskin oxfords, red, gray and even bine slipperB are included in the smart das*. The rule of the woman who knows this summer is to match the shoe and Stocking irrespective of whatever the eolor of the dress may be. Many of the shoes are showing full lines of champagne ajjd potigee color, also some nut brown kid dxfords. The pirls with small feet are taking to the light colors--no matter how bright--while the others are rushing for the darker shades. Some tan shoes with French heels are for sale, but it does not appear as If they are to have a big run, for the reason that they are not satisfactory for u street oxford--and that is the real purpose of tan footwear. The women can certainly gratify their every whim this summer.--Shoe Retailer. Fve-Gored Skirt. The five-gored flare Pkirt is never out of style, no matter how many rivals It may have. This one is adapted to all skirt and suiting ma- terials and can be fP jfTs made plain or fi MftW.'iC*! w,th the app1,ed yoke as preferred, shown, however, it is made of fig­ ured Sicilian mo­ hair, stitched with corticelli silk, and includes the yoke, which can be made to serve the practical purpose of lengthening as well as an ornamental one. The skirt is cut in five gores, that are shaped to fit with perfect snug- ness over the hips and to flare with freedom at their lower portions, and is laid in inverted plaits at the back. The yoke is made in one piece and is applied over the upper portion and a narrow belt finishes the upper edge. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 8 yards 27 „!nches wide, 4^ yards 44 Inches wide or 4 yards 52 inches wide when ma­ terial t^as figure on nap; 3% yards 44 or 3 yards 52 inches wide when ma­ terial has neither figure nor nap. Smart and Useful Gown. In every girl's wardrobe there Is occasion for a smart gown which can be relied upon to fill many functions; and for this a model, in which real laces play a prominent part, is one that lends itself well to reproduction in less expensive materials. The ex­ ceedingly simple lines of the corsage, which Incidentally is mounted upon a*perfectly fitted silk lining with chif­ fon beneath the lace, suggest the plastron front and back, fagoted strap­ pings in satin defining this. The sleeve has a shaped ruffle of lace mounted over very full plisse ruflles of chiffon. The skirt of white satin fits snugly over the hips, the fullness being adjusted by means of dart- shaped tucks at the band; and at knee-depth there is applied a flounce of plisse chiffon, which is covered with bouillonnes of satin alternated with lace, eight yards wide at the hem. Some Effective Hair Accessories. Every woman has ribbon ornaments for the hair, more or less elaborate, according to the occasion on which they are to be worn. Dainty resettes of long loops are made of a number of loops of gauze ribbon, in soft col­ ors. The idea in wearing so many of these ornaments is to get a note of becoming color to the face to offset the effect of the white gowns which are worn morning, noon, and night now. The flush of a pink rosette, the glow of a red one, the bright gleam of a yellow ornament, or the warm tone of some other color lends a brightness to the wearer of a white frock. The woman of taste selects the color that will best bring out the beauties of her complexion, the luster and tint of her eyes, and the warm or bright lights in her hair. Eton Jacket. No coat yet devised is more gener­ ally becoming than the Eton jacket. This one is eminently simple at the 'same time that it is smart and in­ cludes a narrow vest, a yoke that is extended to form trinilning bands at the front and the full sleeves that mark the season. The original, from which the drawing was made, is of old blue veiling with the vest of ecru lace applied over cream color­ ed cloth and trimmings of braid, but almost countless combinations can be made. Fancy braids are greatly used for the little vests, Persian bandings are exceedingly effective, genuine Oriental embroideries are handsome and both braiding and embroidery on silk or cloth are in vogue. The jacket consists of fronts and back with the vest, that is arranged under the front and neck edges, and is fitted by means of shoulder and under­ arm seams with the single darts that are concealed by the trimming. Over the back and shoulders is applied the yoke, that gives the long shoulder line, and the band extensions serve to outline the vest. The sleeves are wide and full below the elbows and are finished with flare cuffs. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 4^4 yards 21 inches wide. 2^ yards 44 inches wide or 1% yards 52 inches wide with 1% yards 2 inches wide for the vest and 8*6 yards of braid to trim as illus­ trated. Lamb a la Mode. ' Lamb a la mode is fully as accept­ able an entree as beef prepared In the same way and serves to give that variety to the bill of fare for which the average housekeeper is always seeking. To prepare it let the lamb stew very gently in a small quantity of water, in which has been placed a couple of potatoes, cut up very fine. When these have been dissolved into a starchy mess add sufficient water nearly to cover the meat, putting in two sliced carrots, more chopped po­ tatoes and a cupful of green peas. After the meat and vegetables are scrft slice half a lemon, from which the seeds have been removed, and use it for garnishing, taking care to place the peas, carrots, etc., in alternate rows. * Gowns Are Now Made Short. The "trotter frock" is all the rage in this country just at present and even the most expensive gowns are made with short skirts. Cloth is the leading fabric, yet velvets, too, look quite as well with the ankle-high skirt. Many of thfcse gowns are trimmed elaborately with lace and braid and they may be used for an afternoon entertainment. It seems that women are beginning to realize the advan­ tages of a short skirt, and it may not be many months before the trailing evening gowns of to-day will give way to "trotter" effects. For dancing noth­ ing can surpass the short skirt so far as comfort is concerned. Poetry of Dress. The secret of the American girl's style is her individuality of taste. She knows what she likes, and she dares to express this liking in what she does and what she wears. Her fads and frills are her personal fancies. When expressed, they become the poetry of dress, says the Woman's Home Companion. And there is nothing exclusive about this poetry; it is a living spring from which everyone may drink. Not to all. of course, is It given to origi­ nate; but it should be possible for all to select and adapt. Apple Slump. Pare and core six good sized apples, cut them into quarters, put in a sauce­ pan and cover with cold water. Add two bay leaves and simmer gently until the apples are nearly tender. Put into a bow] one pint of flour, add a rounding teaspoon of baking pow­ der. mix thoroughly and add sufficient milk to moisten. Roll this out and cut into biscuits. Stand them over the top of the apples. Cover the sauce­ pan and cook for fifteen minutes. Serve with hard sauce. 8hirt Waist witth Underarm Gores. Plain shirt waists made in tailor style, always are in demand and Al­ ways are smart. This one Is made with under-arm gores, which render it peculiarly well suited to stout fig­ ures and is appro­ priate for the en- t i r e range of w a i 8 t i n g s, al­ though shown In white mercerized cheviot. The back is plain, drawn down in gathers at the waist line. but the fronts are slightly full and blouse over the belt. With the waist are worn a novel tie and belt of rib­ bon. the former being made in one with the stock and closed at the back. The waist consists of fronts, back and under arm gores, the fronts being laid in narrow plaits at their upper edges and either plaited at the waist line or left free to be adjusted to the figure as preferred. Th^ sleeves are the fashionable ones of the season and form drooping puffs over the cuffs. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 4% yards 21 inches wide, 4 yards 27 inches wide or 2Vi yards 44 inches wide, with U yard of any width for tie. Ginger Apples. Select four good-sized apples; pare, core and cut into quarters: stand them in a saucepan, add a half cup of sugar, an ounce of ginger, cut into slices a clipping of the yellow rind of lemon and one pint of water; cover the saucepan and stand over a moder­ ate fire until the apples are perfectly tender, dish them, boil down the sirup and baste it over the apples. These may be served with or without whip­ ped cream. CLAIM THAT INGALLS TOOK FAMOUS POEM FROM ITALIAN J jrfh&kr ̂ f .

In stripping the Kearsarge of her laurels gained in her record-breaking run from Southampton to New York the battleship Kentucky, one of the great fighting ships of the navy, marked up the records for the navies of the world and demonstrated once more the supremacy of American na­ val architecture. In the fighting efficiency of the mod­ ern battleship speed and endurance are important factors. The floating fortress must not only have the guns and the men behind the guns, but she must be able to cover long distances at a high rate of speed without mis­ hap. Judged by these standards the .Kentucky must be crowned queon of the American navy. Under the command of Captain Rob­ ert M. Berry and with Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans and staff on board, the Kentucky made the run from Ma­ deira, 3,885 knots, at an average speed of 13.82 knots an hour. The record of the trip includes 12,916 knots from Hongkong in thirty-nine steaming day$, being an average of 315 knots a day, including the slow passage of the Suez canal, a record reached by no other warship of the United States. During her absence of three years and seven months on the other side of the world her total sailing was 68,157 knots. Several years ago the Kearsarge stuck her nose in the air and made a dash from Southampton to New York at an average of 13.50 knots under natural draught. Upon this achieve­ ment she has. received the plaudits of the whole country. It was pointed out that she had steamed 5,000 miles before her record run without having made repairs. But the Kentucky, be­ fore the run completed on Saturday, had steamed 9,000 miles to Honolulu and back, making a total distance of 18,000 miles, without repairs to en­ gines. WOULD NOT BE BISHOP.

Gen. 8toessel One of the Foremost of Russian Soldiers. Gen. Stoessel is the commander of the beleaguered Port Arthur garrison and has been in supreme control since Viceroy Alexieff departed for Mukden some weeks ago. Gen.

Joe Jefferson Recounts With Pleasure How He Hit One of Them. One of Joseph Jefferson's pet abomi­ nations is a bachelor. The venerable actor believes in early marriages and recentily advised a group of Yale juniors to marry as soon as ever they could afford it. "Bachelors--why, I have the utmost contempt for the whole breed of them," he said. "The older they grow the more conceited they grow. I took one down a peg. though, the other day. He was talk­ ing about this woman he had known, and that woman he had known, and these women, it seemed, had married. 'Why you,' I said, 'are in danger of setting left. Why, don't you, too, get married before It is too late?' 'Oh,' said the bachelor, with a chuckle, 'there are still plenty of good fish in the sea.' 'But the bait,' said I. 'isn't there danger of the bait becoming stale?' " Conditions Throughout the State the Fields and Orchards. The crop bulletin for the week end­ ed May says; "The temperature was low during the first half of the week and vegeta­ tion consequently made little growth. Toward the end of the week It be­ came warmer, with much-needed sun­ shine. Light frost in many localities of the northern district occurred on several dates, but little or no damage resulted. Precipitation was deficient in the northern section and the soil is beginning to show a lack of moist­ ure. In the southern section most of the week was showery, and farming operations v^re delayed by the wet condition of the soil. "In the northern district the greater part of the corn crop has been plant­ ed, but in the central and the south­ ern sections not much progress was made with this work dur/ng the week, owing to wet weather\/ Considerable corn on low lands wilv be replanted, which is made necessary by poor seed and the cold, wet condition of the ground. "The^ condition of oats is good in the northern district and fair in the central and southern; they are re­ ported to be thin In the last-named district. "Wheat continues to improve, and it is beginning to head in the south­ ern district. Rye is making good growth. "Meadows and pastures made rapid growth the latter part of the week un­ der the influence of warm sunshine. "Opinions as to the condition of fruit are conflicting; it is believed, however, that the outlook for apples Is good, for cherries, pears and plums fair and for peaches very poor. It is reported that there will be some peaches in a few localities of the southern section. Strawberries are abundant and ripening rapidly. "Gardens are growing slowly, as are potatoes. Considerable replanting has been done." HONORS FOR DOCTORS.

He began his political career the year following the civil war by being elect­ ed to the West Virginia assembly, and began attending national democratic conventions In 1868. Centers of European Population. Ixrndon and Manchester are still disputing as to which is the greater European center of population. Most people would suppose that London owns the title beyond peradventure. Even if one draws a circle with a ra­ dium of thirty miles about Charing Crosss station one gets a population of more than 6,000,000, as against 5,500,000 within a similar distance from the Manchester exchange. But protracting a circle with a forty-mile radius one gets a greater Manchester that shows a population of more than S.000,000 as against a greater London of only Sbout 7,000,000.
