style. This frock was made of

The lower line of this yoke is marked
by a radiated bow of pointed satin
tabs held by tiny serge buttons. A
satin covered buckle adds a chic finish
at the waist line and holds the slight
fullness which is gathered there. The
line of the skirt closing is marked by
a row of satin points.

THE SUMMER GIRL
Elaborate Bathing Suits
Will Rule This Season.
BATHING SUIT OP RED POCLAED.
Such a bathing suit as this would
hardly stand a daily dip in salt waiei
and keep its festive appearance all
summer, but every woman who spends
the summer at the seashore likes to
own one attractive suit, keeping a sim
pler model of mohair for ordinary oc
casions. The pretty suit illustrated is made of
satin foulard in a pattern of brilliant
red shades, and the tucked bodice
gives length to the wuist, while the
sleeves protect the upper arm from tan,
freckles and other blemishes caused by
sun and wind. -
The model is a good one to carryoui
in less expensive materials.
CONVENIENT DARNING BAG.,
All Its Contents Can Be Exposed to
View at Once.
To banish the necessity for turning
out everything that was in her stock
ing bag when she wanted to find an
especial pair in a hurry an ingenious
woman contrived for her "hosen" a
bag which was not really a bag at all,
but which proved so thoroughly fitted
for its useful purpose that it is being
copied by friends and relatives in all
sorts of materials and for many dif
fering uses..
If was simply a large square of pret
ty chintz, lined with plain white ("one
can find . things far more quickly on
that than against a figured or colored
stuff," says the ingenious onei and
with a large white ivory ring sewed
securely at each corner. To the lining,
before it was finally joined to the out
Side, were stitched pockets, their top
edges toward the corner poiuts. These
were to hold needlebook. darning cot
ton and other necessities. Moreover,
along the Inner edge of each side was
provided a tiny but strong ball and
socket fastener, so that the open sides
could be closed when the bag was es
pecially full and thereby the falling
out of odd articles could be prevented
The four rings can be brought togfeth
er when the bag is to be bung up, and
when it is wanted at hand it can be
opened out flat and laid in the lap or
on any convenient place. Being en
tirely washable and 'with nothing fas
tened to it other than the pockets and
rings and fasteners, it can be "tubbed"
with the utmost ease, the rings alone
needing to be ripped off for conven
ience In laundering.
For Spring Fatigue."
To conquer "that tired feeling," of
which many of us are complaining
with the return of spring, these very
simple Items of advice may be found
valuable.
Squeeze into a tumbler of water the
Juice of two oranges and drink it be

still would be the juice from one large
grapefruit
At this time of the year, when so
little other fresh fruit is available, the
juice of orange or grapefruit bas po
tent virtues and helps to tone up the
system.
For the circulation of the nervous
system an alternate application of hot
and cold water is one of the most pow
erful tonics at our disposal.
For an ideal tonic bath try an ordi

Is a douche over the back of the neck.
A nerve specialist says that In his
opinion, a douche over the nape of the
necfk from a can of hot water, followed
by one of cold and a salt rub that is,
a bath towel dipped in sea or salted
water and allowed to get dry and used
as a dry rub is worth untold gold.
The Man Who Knows.
"The trouble with your women's ba
zaars and money making devices,"
said the. man who knows, "is that you
do things in too much of a hurry. It
Is slapbang 'We're so busy with our
eqclal duties that we have no time to
spare save the middle of next month.
If we hurry we can rush it through.'
"The remit usually is tableaux,
which are all very well, of course, but
they are JuRt successful enough to sat
isfy the managers and to blind them
to the fact that they might have made
thousands of dollari more by a well
organized fair."
Manner In 1628.
In a manual of good manners pub
lished in Paris in 1G28 the reader Is
warned. "In yawning in public do not
groan." A familiar, admonition is,
"When listening to some one speaking
do not wiggle about but keep thyself
In thy skin the while." It must have
been bard to obey this latter in June
tion, judging from what is said a little
further alone. "Kill not fleas or the
ike in the presence of others, but ex
cuse thyself and remove whatever tor
ments thee."

A CHANGE IN SCORING RULES
ARE NECESSARY.
William G. Weart. the Phila
delphia baseball expert, calls at
tention to a play in a recent
game of the spring series be
tween the Phillies and the Ath
letics which emphasizes the ue-
cessity for some changes in the
scoring rules to make them more
equitable. He says:
"With Schultz on third. Dowu
ey on second and Titus on first.
Lobert dropped a Texas leaguer
in right field. The ball dropped
a few yards in front of Murphy,
who picked it up and beaded
Titus off at second base. Schultz
scored, and Downey reached
third. Under the rule which
says, 'In no case shall a base
hit be scored when' a base run
ner is forced out by the play,"
Lobert could not be credited with
a base hit
"Here is where the flaw In the
scoring rules comes in: Lobert
scored a runner from third base
and advanced a runner from"
second to third, and y et he is
charged with a time at bat. thus
suffering a penalty Instead of a
reward for his effort On the
other hand, bad Lobert gone out
on a fly to Murphy and the run
ner on third scored and the other
runners not advanced Lobert
would have been given credit
for a sacrifice fly and exempted
from a time at bat In the case
in question Lobert advanced two
runners and failed to advance
one. He really made a base hit.
and yet his effort caused him to
4- be charged with a penalty.' ..

A BOY AND
A Gilx .
By JOHN L. PURDY
My cousin Bertha and I were brought
up together. When by the death of my .
mother I was left an orphan my aunt
took me to live wltb her. I was then
a lad of ten. Bertha a year younger.
I was too much of a boy to appreciate
Bertha, having very little use for girls
and setting great store by football,
baseball, tennis and kindred games. 1
have a photograph of her when she
was fifteen, and when I look at that
charming little face with those maiden
ly eyes 1 wonder bow I could have
-been Indifferent to her. '
Bertha seemed to like to be with
me. '. She was always glad when It
stormed so hard that 1 couldn't play
jutdoor games and was obliged to stay
in the house and play dominos or
checkers with her, games I considered
very dull. And when I was kept in
on account of some indisposition she
would sit by my lounge or my bed or
whatever I rested on and read to me. It
did not occur to me to be grateful for
this. I simply regarded it as a very
natural thing that the inferior being,
girl, should minister to the superior
being, boy.
I remember that though manly In
some things 1 was Inexpressably weak
In others. I regret to say that it usual
ly took me from half to three-quarters
of an hour to get a dose of medicine
Into my stomach. Threats, contempt.
Irony, were insufficient to put enough
courage Into me for the purpose. On
-one occasion, after being alternately
bribed and threatened to no purpose,
I finally made up my mind to have the
thing over with and took the dose
down at a gulp. When a little later I
was asked if I had taken it Bertha,
who was sitting beside me, said "Yes,
and he took it very well too.".
That was the, first realization I had
that there was anything admirable In
a girl. ' Indeed. I was very much
ashamed of myself and just a trifle
grateful to Bertha for standing up for
me -who didn't deserve anything but a
spanking.
As we grew older I came to consider
myself a sort of protector to Bertha,
looking upon her as something very
weak that needed something very
strong to keep her out of. trouble or
danger, I didn't know exactly what.
The truth Is that Bertha didn't need
my strong arm at all, while I needed
a certain moral courage there was in
her very much.
Then I went away to boarding
school, and when I returned at six
teen It "occurred to me for the first
time that Bertha was rather a pretty
girl. I felt just a Httle proud of her
and wouldn't mind some of my boy
friends seeing her. When two years
later I brought one of my classmates
home with me there was something
about the admiration, he expressed for
her that annoyed me exceedingly.
After that Instead of wishing my
friends to see her I preferred that
they keep away. - In fact, I was mean
enouglv not to invite them to my home.
One Christmas .while I waa at col
lege some one gave Bertha an es
critoire. When I came home' for the

spring recess she was wearing a tiny
gold plated key on a narrow velvet
ribbon about her neck. I asked her
what the key unlocked, and she said
It was a drawer In her desk. I asked
her what that drawer contained that
was so precious, and for reply she
gave me only a blush.
This was worse than Introducing a
friend and enduring his admiration
of her. Some fellow had been snoop
ing around, and I wished to know
who he was. Of course I didn't want
Bertha for myself. I had seen sev
eral girls while at college who could
cut a much finer swath ' than she.
But what business had any other man
to come Into the house, and well, it
was dead wrong.
When I returned the next June a
graduate I found that Bertha had not
only budded, but bloomed. She was
past twenty. She still wore the key.
I didn't see any fellow hanging round
her, but supposed that he was some
where else. I was dishonorable
enough to lay plans to get into the
treasure drawer and learn who he was.
One day I-saw Bertha's desk standing
open, and on the blotter she used to
write on was the little key., 1 knew
I had no business to pry into her af
fairs, but either 1 did not realize what
a contemptible thing it was to do or
I was too deeply Interested to refrain
from obeying the dictates of jeal
ousy. I took up the key and. insert
ing it in the lock, opened the treasure
drawer. On the top.of what was in it
was the rascal's photograph, but in an
envelope. I could feel it. I yielded to
temptation and took it out. It was my
own picture taken when between boy
and youth.
Investigating further. I fonnd a scrap
of my vriting and on rending it rec
ognized something complimentary I
had written her ten yesrs before.
From nn overweening conceit I drop
ped into a bottomless pit of unworthi
ness. So great was the change that it
was a long while before I could screw
np my courage to tell Rprtha I loved
her. But when 1 recovered my equa
nimity I regained m.v rascality. I told
her. that 1 had loved her ever since
she was a little girl. -
After all. it doesn't do for a man to
break a woman's Idol. When 1 was n
boy without enough pluck to take a
dose of castor oil she regarded me as
a young god. Why nndeceive her!
She would And it all out after mar
riage anyway.

NEW YORK, May 9. Full admis
sion of the truth of charges that Pres
ident Frank Baacks. of the American .
Steel & Wire company had caused
much damaging evidence against the
trust to be burned as soon as the gov
ernment began the steel trust invest
igation, was made here today by Geo.
Cragin, Worcester, Mass., assistant
saes manager for the wire trust
Cragin reexamined, contradicted his
previous testimony, pleading ignor
ance, and admitted that the story told
to Special Examiner Brown yesterday
by Harry Whitney of Worcester was
true. Cragin declared he received all
evidence against the participants in
the wire pool which was returned to
the steel trust after Judge Archibald
fined those participants at Worcester.
Subsequent to this, he said, Presi
dent Baacks came to Worcester and
asked if the evidence had been de
stroyed. Soon afterward, Cragin
said, the documents were burned.
Cragin denied that President Far
rell of the United States Steel corpor
ation knew anything about the wire
pool. He said he had the Incriminat
ing papers burned believing they
would never again be needed.
