McCa ix Dress of Checked Taffeta. hnt you will make 110 mistake in having one of the simple silk dresses that are so nuu'h in vogue. They are wonderful for filling in the gap be tween the seasons? and not only that, they are going to he very good for fall. They will he quite comfortable with a top eoat. if the weal her demands it, or with a fur cape or scarf. The warm weather has not at all dampened the enthusiasm for fur capes and scarfs. It is such a common sight to see them worn on days when the mercury rises to great heights that one almost feels that one has been laboring under a de lusion all along to 1 relieve that furs could be anything but cool ! Hy far the most popular silks for dresses just now are the taffetas. They are esj>ecially smart in self tones and in the many striped. checked and blocked effects seen. Navy blue and the rich, dark tones predominate. In some very striking designs both checks and stri|K*s are combined. Following closely in the lead of taffeta are mes sallnc. faille, figured and dotted fou lard. cre|>e do chine, silk voile, chiffon crei>e and (ieorgette crepe. The Illustration shown here is typi cal of the simplicity of the present styles. '*Th? dress of cheeked taffeta has a gored skirt with panel front and back, and of course, it would not be complete without the large |>atch pock ets on either side of the front, for pockets are as ]>opular as ever in spite of their having been In fashion so long. In the waist, the panel gradually ta I>ers' up towarcl the neck, where it is met by a collar of (ieorgette crepe, which ripples at the back though the front is (piite flat Chiffon, net or or gandy is often substituted for (ieor gette creiH' in fashioning collars for this type of dress. The only trimming in this model is seen in the buttons on either side of the panel. The color harmonizes with the dress. mV W. S. Burnett has been sending the week in Atlanta, fta.

And They Say Hankers Are Heartless. (Hi the authority of The Western! Financier the following story is told:' In Salt Lake City u man named Mat thew l^ougherty went to (Jeorge E. l'exton, a hanker, and borrowed $100. He' gave as security 5, (KM) shares of' mining stock of dubious value. He failed to pay his note at maturity and Mr. I 'ex ton bought in the stock him-' self. Later Dougherty died and his family were left with little. It happened, as it does on rare <h easiotis. that the stock proved to he gotnl. It came to he worth $.'? a share. The widow, in going through her hus band's papers, found a memorandum of the .$100 loan. She wrote to E. < >. Howard, cashier of the bank of Walker Hros.. ami he advised Mr. l'exton that the family was in straightened cir cumstances. On investigation Mr. l'ex ton satistied himself of this fact. There upon he turned the shares over to Mr. Howard with the remark. 'I'ay to me $100 and interest and then give the stock to the family." STATE NEWS.

With tbr present agitation for an ever Increasingly fihort working day comes the statistician who proves that by rights the American worklngman should work only one day. Follow the_ argument closely: There are by common consent 3Gf> j days in the year. Doctors agree that a j man shpuld devote one-third of his time to Sleep and one-third to recrea- . tlon. Counting one-third of a year as ; approximately 122 days, we have 121 ? days left after taking out this allow a nee. ; Subtract from this the flfty-two Sun i days which are the workingman's i right, and we have sixty-nine dnys left ; Saturday half holidays consume twen ty-slx of these, leaving forty-three. One hour off for lunch on Ave days In the week make 200 hours, or approxi mately twenty-two days, whlc^i leaves! our total working time twenty -one , days. Bat a man is entitled to a two weeks' vacation in the summer and the six legal holidays afforded by the state, making a total vacation time of twenty days. Taking this from cmr waking j time of twenty-one day*, we have a re mafnrtur at one working day. ? New York Tribune. . rm * ? ' \ HRM mi l. W1M. Made l?> ? I'wir.
