Certain Articles Mutt Be Provided and the Accessories Wtll Follow-- Moct 8uftable Frocks for the Young Qlrl. The young girl who cannot afford too many changes will be well sup plied if she has a one-piece dress in a pretty wool of some sort, a pongee or tailored cotton dress, and a little top-coat Id the new short length. Of course, there are other things to be des*if«stti--rijiI.<iw»l»U.», hate and the dainty neck fixings now so essential to a smart appearance--bat, after all, If the big things are accomplished the little ones come somehow. So, in do ing Iter buying, let the ambitious The little frocks of pongee or Rajah silk supplied for young girls lend themselves in combination with any and everything, but though colors may go with them according to Mme. Mode, the soft yellows of such mate rials respond most beautifully to black or cream. The one-piece frocks, which are really two pieces, a bodice and skirt joined with a stitched belt, are often made with a front fastening that goes from the neck or bust to the hem of the skirt, the waist open ing over a removable chemisette or a stitched yoke, and the sleeves are close mutton legs or bishop models- There is scarcely a drop at the front of any of the waiBts, though the old biousing fall over the belt is continu ally talked about and this tautness of the bodice, and the skim pines* of all the new skirts for young girls involves a very moderate amount of material for the average dress. In coats there are lengths that vary from the hip to a drop that may distinctly be called three-quarter, bet a long, narrow opening of the front of the coat is a feature everywhere, and so, if the collar is not shawl-shaped, the revers are of the smallest. Without a doubt, wash materials make the prettiest frocks in all eases for little girls from the baby ages up to seven or eight, and into the new styles for these small persons there has crept a simplicity which is all bat severe. There is not a flounce any where, unless it is one that forms the entire skirt, such as may be put at the bottom of a slip garment with long bodice cut; while the little Mother Hubbard dress and the kilted Russian one, which are both so easy to make, are as much as ever to the fore for the tinier tottles. The neat semf fltted coat shown Is of a sort that would be needed All summer long If the garment were in a suitable lightweight material and not too darkly colored. Summer-weight covert in a very pale tan would be ad mirable for it, but such a coat could also form part of a suit of serge or wool canvass, which would be needed in the mountains or at the seashore. It could also be of any of the stout linens or duck or cotton suiting ma terials which are used for ooat suits, with the back of the collar and cuffs In a contrasting color, and round bone buttons to match the trimming. For size 16 4% yards of material 2? inches wide will be needed, or 2% yards if the stuff is in a 42-lnch width. mother look first for the garment that cannot be done without, and then do her beBt to match it later on with the needed details. Often, in this way, the necessary fixings can be had cheaper, for prices drop when the season is on the wing, and there is al ways some chance of never having the needed gafaeat of importance if the minor thing Is bought first WIDE CHOICE OF PARASOLS Season's Offerings Give Every Wom an a Chance to Have a Dis tinctive Design. The assortment of parasols this year is almost endless. One manufac turing concern Is showing over 600 de signs, and this does not take into ac count the variety of colorings under each design. The plain coaching parasol again has the fldld to Itself. Of ruffles, flounces and drapery effects there are practically none. In point of number of ribs the buy er can get what she pleases. The samples shown have seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12 Mid 16 ribs. The early demand has been for parasols made with nine or more ribs. The split spreaders with the gold finish are again favored in the Japanese effects having 12 or 16 rlfca.- Handles are long, some of them measuring fully 18 inches., Under the skillful manipulation of the handle makers, many Ingenious conceits are brought out. Even to a more remark able degree than last year, large num bers of these handleB splendidly match the covers, with which they combine to form the finished parasol. Among the novelties In handles are those whose ends are finished with disks or are of a mushroom shape. This particular type of handle is fin ished in a variety of ways, many are carved, some are enameled, others are inlaid with jet and stone. The novelties of the season Include « pagoda shaped parasol, having 12 ribs curved upward for two or three inches near the tips. This parasol is covered with a variety of silks and colorings, but invariably is finished at the edge with a fluted border of EASILY AND CHEAPLY MADE The Trye and The False. "She has a wealth of golden hair," said the poetic youth. "Are you sure," rejoined the practical young person, "that some of Hut wealth isn't counterfeit?" some silk of a contrasting color about an inch and a quarter wide. Canopy tops have also appeared after an ab sence of many years. A decided nov elty coming under the latter head is a double canopy effect, which is pro duced by constructing a duplication of the top canopy finish, which extends from the lower edge of the extra long runner up to and covering the notches to which the spreaders are se cured. The material of which this second canopy point is made 1B con tinued as a lining, to the parasol be low and covering the spreaders. FIRST OF THE SEASON. Roses for Trimming Hats May Be Produced at Home by Any Clever Qlrl. One of the loveliest of the early showings of new hats was trimmed with roses made in soft shades of sheeny silk combined with folds of allk in the same tone. Though this hai: was straight from Paris the roses upon It could eerily be fashioned by any girl who has ever made paper flowers. Each petal was distinct, cut from ovals of double silk wired on the edges inside, and grouped around a center of pistils and sta mens that can be bought from any milliner. It is Veil for the novice to experi ment on paper petals before cutting Into the silk. Should she have any uld silks, make a complete flower by way of sample. It helps toward good sha ding to draw a sketch of the coloring on water-color paper and work from that. TtHs attractive waist Is of vollle, made with groups of tucks and trimmed with shaped bands of the material, which are ornamented ./1th buttons and straps of soutache. The sleeves are trimmed to corre spond; the little tfulmpe is of lace. Rose Workbag. • Workhags are being made nowadays to simulate the rose. Petals of six- inch width fold upward like the outer petals of a rose over a center of pom padour ribbon shirred into the shape of a round bag. Both are fastened to a round bottom and the upper edges of the petals are rolled . between thumb and finger and slipstitched Into a curled edge. They are merely tacked against the sides of the bag as loosely as possible, so that they will retain the flower shape. Satin ribbons of deep rose color are used in these bags. Morning Garb. There is* a decline In the use of heavy crepe. Where still used it Is by way of trimming. Dull black in any material is now acceptable for first mourning, so that mourning frocks may be made com fortable, even In midsummer. Moreover, pure white Is becoming more and more used for summer and house mourning. GETS $5,091,755 W MR BILL IMnok Wins Out in Fight in Com- mittee. MEANS MUCH TO THE STATE Deep Waterway Scheme Draws $1,050,- 000; Harbor Improvements Around Chicago $638,000, and Missis- alppl River $3,583,755. Chicago and Illinois have come out winners in the rivers and harbors bill. The senate committer on commerce made the new bill public with the specific items in which Chicago and the state are interested Just as they came out of the house. That means that they are virtually passed, although Senator Burton may make a fight on the deep waterway plan, because, as the house has al ready pansed them, they will sot be oubjact to change In conference. The items in which Chicago and the state «re especially interested are as follows: For the deep waterway scheme, $1,060,000. For river and harbbr Improvements In and around Chicago, $658,000. Fir Mississippi river Improvements as a part of the deep waterway sheme, $3,583,755. The bill as It comes from the sen ate carries $52,566,418. which seems to •how congress' idea of economy at this session. When congress met the president made an especial appeal for the committees to trim to the last possible nickel all appropriations, and the early talk was that $30,000,000 would be the limit of the riven and harbors bill. The house committee preached econ omy until Its members were black in the face, and brought out a bill to taling $42,000,000 just the same. Then when the bill went to the sen ate the economy cry was raised again. "We must keep the bill down," said the senators, and especially Senator Burton, who did everything In his power to cut out the $1,000,000 condi tionally appropriated for the Illinois project in the deep waterway scheme. In order to reduce the figures of the bill. And after all the demands for economy the senate pared a few items in the house appropriations, but on the whole increased the bill a round $10,000,000. Fair Board Does Not Fill Plaeee. The state board of agriculture side stepped the responsibility of choosing members of the board from three Chi cago districts. Those not now repre sented on the board are the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth, the members from which were removed from office by the ieruis of the new iaw which requires that members live in the districts which they represent. James Brown, Robert O'Dwyer and F. M. Blount are the retired members from the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth district*; respectively. The selection of their successors was passed up entirely and the vacancy in but cne district, that In the country, was filled. * When the board convened, four va cancies were listed for filling. They were the three mentioned and that from the Eighteenth, caused by the death of the late James A. Cunning ham of Hoopeston. The matter of the presidency was also untouched. Mem bers J. K. Hopkins of Princeton and George Anthony of Kewanee are the reported candidates for the place. The president Is not elected at the meet ing, but choice for the man to fill that office is customarily made and the president formally elected at the fair. The judiciary committee of the board granted Sears, Roebuck & Co. of Chicago a privilege to erect a build ing 46x60 feet in which to show exhib its permanently. It Is probable the premium lists this year will be printed without adver tising. The printing committee de cided to authorize Secretary Dlcklrson, to receive bids on the premiums with out advertising, prior to which consid erable spirit was manifested. It was argued by those opposed to the Idea that approximately $750 would be saved if advertising were used.

Sadler to file his petition at tacking the constitutionality of the municipal court act and asking a writ of mandamus against Chief Justice Harry Olson to compel his reinstate ment to the bench in Chicago. The summons was Issued, retainable In five days. It became probable that the validity of the act would be questioned from three sources. The issue was. raised In a suit filed by Cook county against the Cosmopolitan Life Insurance com pany to recover a judgment for back taxes. The question came up before Judges Chytraus, Mack and Smith in the appellate court: Assistant Coun ty Attorney Louis Behan contended that the municipal court was ft city court, established under the general city courts act, and moved to appeal the case to the supreme tribunal. Attorneys for the Insurance com pany took the stand that the municipal court existed by virtue of special leg islation and was not governed by the general act. The court «ave no opin ion and granted the motion giving leave for an appeal. The third test may come "frith quo warranto proceedings instituted by Attorney J. Hamilton T.pwIr *T5d sev eral others purely as a matter of law to test the validity of the act. MM!ion a Month increase.

TOBACCO AND OIL 8UITS TO BE REARGUED BEFORE SU PREME COURT. RESULT OF BREWER'S DEATH Wickersham Surprised by 8udden Turn in Fight Against Two Trusts---Decide Corpora tion Tax Soon. Washington.--The Standard Oil and Tobacco cases were Monday reas signed for argument by the United States Supreme court. The reargument of these cases comes as the direct death of Justice Brewer. This noted jurist died just a few days after the Standard Oil case had been argued. As Justice Moody was unable to participate in the con sideration of these cases, only seven justices were left to give a decision in these cases. The fact that the cor poration tax cases were not set for reargument is taken to mean that a decision will be announced in regard to the constitutionality of the law authorizing it within a short time. Attorney General Wickersham was as much surprised as anyone at the sudden turn in the fight against these corporations. He expressed his utter Ignorance of any further knowledge of the action of the court. Unless a motion to advance the cases is made, they will not come up in the regular order of .business for nearly a year. It is regarded as Im probable* that nnch motion for rear gument before next term will be made.
