THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE, NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. 3 Midsummer Coat of Heavy Cotton Cloth Children Cry for Fletcher's i in urn r mi mi m m mi ii iwi i i im ii i-hjiibi mm Tho weavers of cotton cloths have become- expert In making fabrics much like the heavier weaves of wool In ap pearance, as well as some novelties, that appear only In cotton. These heavy weaves, Including cotton cordu roy and corded materials, are also shown In basket weaves. They aro all used for the popular sport skirts and summer coats that aro featured bo strongly for street and outing wear. All of a sudden cretonnes have sprung Into use In the making of apparel. Gay ly flowered and quaintly figured cre tonnes are used to make bright morn ing dresses and are called "garden" dresses. Floppy-brimmed hats or beach bonnets (which are sunbonnets parading under a new name) are worn with thorn and made of the same cretonne. Ono of tho beat Inodels for a coat of cotton corduroy, corded cloth, or fancy weaves In cotton, is shown In tho picture given here. Like a few of tho heavy linen weaves, It Is unmus eable. For decoration it depends upon machine stitching and buttons mado by covering button moldB with the fabric. It is cut along the same linos as popular sport coats of wool, with high, convertible collar, big pock Ostriqh Boa In Enthusiastic Revival The ostrich boa has met with an unanticipated but enthusiastic rovlval of popularity, and seems destined to outdistance other kinds of fluffy and airy neckwear. The unusually cool weather of spring has mado some sort f protection almost a necessity, and there Is no denying the becomlngncss of soft feathers about the throat.. White fox, red fox and light gray or (an fur neckpieces one sees with the most summery of white turbans and flower-trimmed hats. This vogue is probably a reflection from the west ern coast, for visitors to tho Panama exposition have found the weather cool and everyone Indulging In the San Francisco privilege of wearing fura with summer gowns. The feather bou of today Is short as to length, long as to fiber, and liked best in white, natural color or two toned combinations. Occasionally a boa more than long enough to lie loosely about tho throat la seen, but not often. They all fasten with bows of soft mcssaltno ribbon, apparently, or tho exception Is so rare as to provo the rule. Very smart sets consisting of boa nnd ostrich-trimmed liatn are shown, and there aro great numbers of cock rdor, fenn, nnd other fanciful orna ff.tr. made of ostrich to be used on i !".: r hats. ets, and wide belt across the buck. Among other new wraps of cotton for midsummer smocks mado in white or blue or brown arc commanding much attention. They are straight hanging garments with tho fullness taken up by old-fashioned "smocking' nt tho neck find nt the ends of tho sleeves. Cretonnes in small figures aro used for the collar and cuffs and are chosen in strong color contrasts. Tho white smocks aro prettiest, but those in light brown are equally smart. They are the something new in outer gar ments that women are all ready to welcome. Poke Bonnets. Adorable poke bonnets In tho same pretty coloring show to advantage aton blonde curls, for, unlike our American kiddies, the bobbed hair ef feet is not being worn on tho other side of tho water. Tho little girls all have their hair long" and fiowlng over their shoulders and of course it curls whether naturolle or a la klde or poker. The British boy, no matter how tiny, spurns the bobbed effect also, and rears a close-cropped llttlo bullet head proudly to the infantile fashionable world. Three boas are nhown here, one In white, one in the natural tan and white color of tho feathers, and the third In black tipped with white. In the last the white lluo is tied or pasted on to tho colored Hue, and there Is an endless variety In combinations to choose from in boas mado In this wny. But tho boa may bo had now In nny color, even tho most unusual new tints and shades. It Is to be remembered that a bit oi rich and fluffy neckwear presupposes a hat to correspond. In the group pictures here a white fabric hat la shown trimmed with a pattern applied in small black beads about tho brim edge. It Iiub a collar of white ribbon with small squares of embroidery in black, ami a white rose is mounted near the edge of tho front brlrn. The second bead-trimmed hat shows a re versal of color; white beads are ap plied to a black hemp shape with fao ing of white crape. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

This deposit was opened about three years ago by workmen digging in a cut of tho Western Maryland railroad. It is about 125 feet from the surface, which is a rldgo composed at tho bottom of limestone probably 15,000,000 years old.
