Group of New Breakfast Caps
A group of now breakfast or bou
doir caps causes onc-to wonder where
their makers find so many ideas by
which to furnish the variety needed.
There are two distinctly new and one
entirely original design among these.
They are all very simple and easy to
make.
At the left is a cap of silver lace
ind narrow satin ribbon, which may
bo in any color desired. It is mado of
i circular piece of lace about fourteen
inches in diameter, edged with mes
sallne ribbon, machine stitched to It
'n two rowd of stitching. These are far
enough apart to form a casing. for a
small elastic cord. This is run in and
tho lace fulled on it to form tho cap
ind ruffle.
A fan or petal of lace is made over
a wire support. The narrow ribbon
Is stitched to tho edge of tho fan, as
Tor the cap. But Instead of elastic
cord, a lino wire is run in tho casing.
Tho fan should bo placed 01 tho cap
before tho ruffled edge is stitched on,
as tho ribbon covers its raw edge.
At the right a pretty cap is made of
atripa of ribbon, shadow lace' -and net.
These form tho crown. A band of rib
bon covered with lace extends about
tho face, and a frill of lace falls In a
little cape at tho back. For decora
tion a narrow band of bend passemen
terie is sewed to tho band, and ribbon
rosettes are set at each side at the end
of tho cape.
Tho third cap is simply a puff of
Bags for the Shopping Tour
Shopping bags and purses seem to
be dwindling somewhat in size, but are
still 60 constructed that they carry
about all the requisites for tho shop
ping tour. And no matter how few
their fittings, the small but very good
llttlo mirror is never absent. In tho
newest bags it is either inserted in
the flap or fastened to the bag with
a narrow ribbon or tape. In many
of theso bags the small coin purse is
.fastened to the frame with a long,
.slender chain, uo that it cannot be
lost.
A variety of shapes is shown in the
group of bags pictured here. Seal,
pin-seal and morocco are tho most
fashionable leathers. Linings in flow
ered silks allowing amall blossoms on
in light ground are tho most dainty
nnd tho most populnr.
Somo of theso small bags carry a
mirror, a tiny comb, a powder box, a
small flat hat brush, and a diminutive
scent bottle, besides, of course, tho
ever-present mirror, tho small coin
purse, and sometime a card case,
pvcry one of the articles Is found to
thin light-colored silk for tho crown
and a frill of plaited shadow lace fall
ing about the face. Soft satin ribbon
lu caught In puffs about tho cap, with
a bow finishing it at the left side.
Net and vnl lace Insertion are used
for tho last cap, with a narrow val
edging forming the ruffle about the
face. A straight band of narrow satin
ribbon is laid In a small flat bow with
double loops at the right and ends,
with loops and. hanging ends at the
left sido.
Except the cap of silver lace, these
may all bo washed, for they are made
of strong cotton laces and wash silks
Cream Blouses Modish.
Cream Is tho modish tone for the
spring blouse not pink. Rarely love
ly as tho pink blouse is In delicate
flesh or shell tones, its day has passed,
and" theso blouses are offered for salo
on tho bargain tables, while cream and
sand-colored models have the places of
honor among exclusive new spring
wearables.
Hemstitched blouses of sand
colored khairi-kool for sport wear have
buttoned down pockets and plaits nt
front and back. Cream not and lace
blouses meet tho requirements of
formal spring tallleurs, and there aro
good looking blouses of tan shantung,
cream-tinted, Georgette crepe and ecru
pussy-willow silk, nil with the long
sleeve and collar high at the- back,
whatever the cut may bo at the front.
be practical, and such a bag is a great
aid In keeping neat on the shopping
tour or journey. They becoino indis
pensable after one has got used to the
miniaturo brush, comb, etc. Dut It Is
like getting nccustomed to small
rooms they answer the purpose
In buying a bag it is best to choose
tho oblong, square, or circular Bhapes
The fancy shapes, inado merely with
tho end In view of being odd, will not
carry one's belongings as safely and
are far less handy. There Is apt to bo
waste space in them.

Albert 10. Rogers of Chicago, ac
companied by S. It. McKolvIe, presi
dent of tho Nebraska Publishers'
bureau, n:i organization recently
formed by newspaper men to adver
tise Nebraska in tho cast, called at
the state houso last week to gather
Information for advertising of tho re
sources of the stato. Tho sum of
f3,000 wns subscribed by the newspa
per men of the state forming tho as
sociation, and tho advertising will bo

tising journals of tho country. It is
tho Intention to mako a comparison
with other tntc3 in order to bring to
the notice of manufacturers that this

Appointment of a commission to
study the operation qfjuitl-discrlmlno-tion
(lro Insurance legislation in
states where such laws aro now con
formed to, will probably be mado at
an early meeting of the stato Insur
ance commission. Tho fight In the
lato legislature over scnato file No.
46, the bill providing such a law in
this Btate, was an eyo-opener for the
people. Tho hue-and-cry raised by
rate cutters- nnd those Interests
which are especially favored hao
been found to bo false. Fire Insurance
Is being more generally recognized
as a tax on property and tho peo
ple who are becoming friends of tho
anti-discrimination -principle fool that
as such It should bo uniformly and
equitably levied. They do not reltsh
tho Idea of paying greater Insurance
rates than some of tho favored inter
ests and they do not like to foot In
surance rates to make up for low
rates paid in such towns as Lincoln.
Alfalfa makes an excellent pasture
for developing young horses. After
July 1 blue grass pastures generally
get pretty short nnd by turning colts
on alfalfa they will have an abun
dance of nutritious feed for tho re
mainder of tho summer. It will bo
also quite satisfactory to ftirn work
horses on alfalfa from now on. This
is especially truo where they can he
turned out every night There is no
feed quite so cheap as alfalfa in Ne
braska, and it materially economizes'
tho cost of producing nnd maintaining

Attorney General Heed ha3 filed a
brief with the interstate commerce
commission over tho effort of western
railroads to secure advances In their
freight rates in this territory. The
principle which Mr. Heed lays
down to the commission Is that "whllo
it costs more to carry particular com
modities at tho present tlmo than tho
roads charge when tho entire net re
turns afford a tair return upon Invest
ments, they are not in a position to
complain as to Inadequacy of rates
until- commodity rates paying moro
than Just returns aro reduced.
"A reflection upon modern civili
zation," is what Dr. L. C. Klgln, for
mer stato veterinarian, terms a case
at Colon, Neb., tho investigation of
which ho has just completed. Tuber
culosis was communicated to tho son
of a well-to-do farmer through tho
milk of a diseased cow. Tho llttlo
boy is 2C months old nnd otherwlso
very healthy, hut his tubercular hip,
as diagnosed by Dr. Lord of Omaha,
Is likely to make him a cripple for
life. Dr. Klgln says that tho farmer
had neglected the proper sanitary
precautions.

Shooting Civilians.
According to tho laws of war, any
civilian who is found with arms in
his possession Is liable to bo shot
without mercy. Although this seems
a very severo rule, It Is absolutely nec
essary for tho safeguarding "of tho
whole- civil population.
Tho rules of war say that no men
will bo recognlzod as combatapts un
less they wear a distinguishing badge,
which can bo enslly recognized. If It
were not for this, any' number of men
could nt any tlmo band themselves
together, nnd say they were belliger
ents. If this wero nllowod, therefore,
invading troops would safeguard them
selves against surprises by killing
every man in villages through which
they marched.
TIiIh particular rulo Is bo stringent
that even a noncombatant who took
up arms to defend his wife against
ooino drunken Boldlor would be liable
to bo shot.
