frage initiative petitions, in parts of
the state outside of this city, have
been obtained by the agents of the

tions will be filed with the Secretary
of State. This insures a vote on the

wagon and stage.
Mrs. W. McN. Miller, the state presi
dent of the suffragists, has traveled
7000 miles since last November, and
has talked to hundreds of audiences,
ffhe suffrage amendment will be num

THK plump, middle - aged figure
looks infinitely better in a coat
having long lines than in one of
the saucy, abbreviated coats of the
moment. A new tailleur recently built
by a fashionable "New York tailor for
' one of his patrons had coat and tunic
of navy serge and the skirt of Roman
striped pussy willow taffeta. A small,
smart hat trimmed in wigwam effect,
silk embroidered gioves and buttoned
boots with tops of neutral toned cloth
accompany the suit.
Drapery must ever be kept subservi
ent to line when the matronly figure is
concerned. So long as the lines are
long and the silhouette made to look
.On the left is a frock of flowered moussellne, with a tunic formed of two pleated ruffles. The cen

an attractive little Breton frock with striped vest and skirt, and a long pleated tunic of white silk.

NEW YORK, July 11 (Special Cor
respondence.) On every hand is
heard the doleful lament about "prices
going up." "Everything." says the shop
per, "is more by-the-yard." "Every
thing," says the housekeeper, "is more
by-the-quart or by-the-pound."
Coal is higher, rents are higher,
taxes are higher, theater seats are
higher, tips are higher the only
thing that remains stationary is the
five-cent trolley carfare, yet nobody
seems to give enthusiastic thanks
about that.
In the good old days when Coney Is
land was still three hours from New
York by horsecar, ferry-boat and the
Culver Railroad, one could take a dip
for a quarter and the bathhouse was
just as commodious as the one for
which one pays now 50 cents a dollar
on Sundays, when there is a rush of
business. Why one should pay double
just because there are not enough
houses to go around is a burning ques
tion. In those good old days, also, one s
modest quarter for a bathhouse in
cluded an equally modest bathing suit
of good sturdy blue flannel trimmed
with white braid. Now one must pay
from 50 cents to a dollar extra for the
suit and there is not half so much of
it- Towels also are extra, and nobody
puts a pail of cool, fresh water in
the luxurious modern bathhouse. One
must take one's turn at the common
shower.
As for bathing suits! Here is a
list of "bargain" bathing toggery, bor
rowed from an advertisement of spe
cial values printed In last Sunday's
newspapers: Satin and taffeta bath
ing dress, with tunic, 114.75; cap to
match same. 11.25; silk stockings. $1;
satin bathing slippers with buttoned
strap, 1.50; glove silk combination
garment to wear under the bathing
suit. $3.50. Twenty-two dollars to
make one presentable to go a-swim-mlng.
One cannot but give a regretful sigh,
remembering the good old days when
a flannel bathing suit lasted Just as
it was for six years, and it was con
sidered "fast" and reprehensible to
wear silk stockings on the beach.
Brazilian Parrots Are Worn
as Ornaments for Hats.
Babyish Sandals Are Popular With
Women Tunic Attornments Are
Good for Bathing Suits.
THE polo matches at Waverly have
brought sandals into fashion. Sev
eral women with their white costumes
wore babyish sandals strapped over
white silk stockings, and the effect
was bizarre, to say the least In bet
ter style were white buttoned boots
of buckskin and white colonial pumps
which accompanied many smart tall
leurs of white linen, mohair and
striped or checked white cotton
weaves.
Brazilian parrots are the new note
in millinery. These dashing birds have
ornamented several hats worn with
elaborate costumes of dark color at
French races recently.
During the visit of Queen Mary of
England in Paris, Mme. Poincare, out
of respect for her guest's disapproval
of the wearing of birds on hats, fore
swore her own predilections toward
paradise plumage. and wore hats
trimmed with ostrich plumes and bows
of ribbon. Queen Mary puts no ban on
ostrich feathers, and to the mind of
the Englishwoman ostrich plumes con
stitute the ideal hat garnishment for
formal occasions.
The girl who goes bathing every
day at a fashionable Summer resort
by the sea likes to have two or three
smart bathing costumes to wear, turn
and turn about. One frugal maid who
cannot afford several $15 or $20 silk
bathing dresses has a number of tunic
attachments, one of checked pussy wil
low taffeta, another of Roman silk,
another of plain taffeta piped and
scalloped in contrasting color, to be
worn over a simple, well-cut bathing
dress of salt water satin, black in hue.
Wide collars and knotted ties to
match the tunics are provided with
snap-fasteners and may be worn with
out the tunics and in one design, col
lar and cuffs of hemstitched white
linen are attached.

scalea The eczema so dis
figured me that I was ashamed
to go out anywhere. II
Itched all the time and when
ever I perspired or got my
face the least bit wet. It
would bum until I very nearly
went crazy . The more I ribbed or scratched
the more it spread and It made me so rest-

' I used one remedy after another. .
, and two or three others that
made at home, but none of them did any
good and I was despairing of ever betug
cured. One day a friend prevailed upon
me to get a sample of fiitlrura Soap and

instantly and In a very few days my face
and neck began to show a marked Improve

and one box of Cutlcurs Ointment and my
face and neck are completely cared."
