with whit French pique, and thla touch
of white doea make a coat more becoming
and adda to Ita appearance of coolness.
White linen la of course always liked for
mat and skirt suits, as are the soft dull
blues, and this year the darker tans and
browns are conaklerably In demand, khaki
and saddle brown In particular, although
the latter will undoubtedly look best on
broiling midsummer days.
e tailored Unen coats are fitted or
fitting in the back, loose In front and

arer, although the preference is (or
nparatlvely short coats.
For the dressier coat and skirt suit, the

1st Importations, however, show fitted

half length or even three-quarter length
aklrts, and rumor has it that these longer
coats and coats defining the figure will
lead the late seaaon in Paris.
Tiy do not, of course, lend themselves

to the cleanser rather than to the laundry
nowadays.
Soutache braiding) plays an important
part In the ornamentation of the somewhat
elaborate linen coat and skirt costume and
is a trifle newer than hand embroidery,
though It has by no means elbowed the
latter aside. Often the two are combined,
and an effective trimming. Illustrated In
th blue Unen model sketched here, la made
with soutache braiding, whose design is In
ce-taJoi parts filled In with heavy, thickly
set, embroidered knota.
Thla particular model, which was an
extremely chio one, was of dull blue linen
braided and embroidered In white. The
loose Jtla coat with Its jaunty lines and
its gStractlv details was supplemented
by an elaborately braided skirt, as is the
case In most of the French models of tbjs
class, but many women prefer a sampler
skirt trimming.
White Unen coats and skirts trimmed
with narrow Irish crochet Innertion and
band embroidery are made up upon very
simple lines with loose, rollarless. short
sleeved coats and plainly gored skirts.
The heavy openwork Insertion outlines
all th seama and a very narrow correspond
ing edge finishes the borders of the coat.
English eyelet work and heavy blind
embroidery are usually combined in the
bold designs which are embroidered by
band on the runt fronts around the neck,
on the cuffs and around the skirt bottom.
Bmall round medallions of Irish crochet In
the heavy roae design whose petals are
r para to are often Introduced throughout
the embroidery design, being set Into the
linen with openwork stitrhery.
The bold Breton embroideries In red and
blue are greatly liked In Paris for the trim
ming of string color 'and white linens, and
some pretty French models In Unen have
I English openwork embroidery In color on
white or taring coir. Such embroidery
In brown upon natural toned linen Is con
sidered very smart and dull Copenhagen
blue on strlre; color Is very effective.
Similar embroideries In aelf-tone are used
upon llnena In all eolora One of the
Jon Uriels of our llr.en and was In a Uvely
jj.ade of rose Unen and was embroidered

striking French frock of linen, in the bright

Princess effects In linens run the scale

owing to a box plait running unbroken
from gulmpe to hem, to such elaborate
creations of linen lace and hand embroid
ery as th princess model sketched for this

lace rather' than of Unen, the Unen being
used chiefly in th shapa of hand embroid

Mrs. Taft Points Women the Way o Highest Happiness
Woaaaa's Hobleat Career.
LX, women. It Is true, are not
called upon to preside over a
horn or to rear children, but all
broad-minded women admit that
this Is th loftiest type of use
fulness."
Thla aentenc from an Interview with Mra
William Howard Taft, wtr of th secre
tary of war, by a representative of th
Philadelphia North American, gives th.
keynote of th character and tdeala of th
wife of the most noted member of Presi
dent Roosevelt's official family.
Mrs. Taft was discussing college education
for women when shs gav utterance to
th sentence quoted In the foregoing. Her
self a woman of high culture, she Is a
Ann believer In advanced learning for hr
sax.
But Mrs. Taft has no patlenc with that
cult of th "n.w woman" who believes
that marriage and mot he-hood do not an
awer the bwt Ideals, and who find them
aulves "wedded to their art" or some other
unappwlatlv. and unresponsive thing.
"Higher education for women," Mrs.
Taft laughed; "well, my daughter haa
elected to take a full college courae at Bryn
Mawr, and la now studying diligently In
order to enter the college next autumn.
I believe In th best and moat thorough
education posslhl for every one men and
women and It la a source of deep grati
fication that all my children sr. studious.
"My Idea about higher education for
women la that It makes them great in soul
aa well as In Intellect. It never seemed to
me that It should make them poor Imita
tions of men. I am old-fashioned enough
to think that woman la the complement of
man. and that what Is most feminine about
her is most attractive to man. And, there
for, of th greatest utility to the world.
"I could never sc. sny fundamental su
periority or Inferiority. Th. only superi
ority lies in th. way la which the responsi
bilities of life are discharged. Judged by
this standard some womea are superior to
men, and soma husbands fall very much
below their wives, some brothers below
their sister.
"Education for women and aa much aa
thty can obtain, to my mind, possesses
larger advantages than th. commercial
on. of providing a mean of making, when
It Is necessary, a good livelihood. Thla,
I do not deny, la a potent advantage, but
fur th. aggregate woman, th. mission Is
to preside over a home and to fulfill the
highest obligations of womanhood.
"Education, which really educates heart,
mind and body, glvea the grace and ability
and the exalted aense of duty necessary to
fill that hlg-h destiny In th. home.
"It doea not seem to me that college edu
cation make a girl either unfit for do
mestic obligations or maaculine In her
tastes. AH women, it la true, are not
called on to preald. over a home, or to
rear children, but all broad-minded women
admit that thla la th loftleat type of use
fulness. Few women willingly renounce
that moral greatnesa which makea a woman
a queen, even In the humblest home, for
Intellectual or profesaional triumph.
"Aa for masculinity developing from a
college courae, why every sensible grl
wants to b. great as a woman, not as a
man, and she will sedulously avoid all that
Inclines to mannlshness."
Personally, Mrs. Taft is as attractive as
she is Intellectual. She la fair, alrnder and
girlish-looking, and it seems incredible that
sh. has a son old enough to b. In college.
She is frank and vlvacloua. though she
posseseea dignity to a marked degree and
the self-poise neceeaary for th. successful
hostess.
She poesesse that Invaluable cunjlty of
th. wit. of a polltlclan-an excellent mem
ory. She has, likewise, the habit of being
cordial. All social leaders admit that cor
diality of manner mui be cultivated, aince
It is Impoealbls to be really glad to see
utter strangers or to take an Interest In
very commonplace people. Mrs. Taft has
mastered thla art most completely.
Informally and In her home, the wife of
the secretary of war la seea at her best.
She is an excerient illustration of her text
that culture and accomplish metita. perfect
a woman In the dlscharg. of her domestic
dutte. Her home la paramount In rplt
of her deep Interest In many Intellectual
pursuits; her frank devotion to her hus
band and children Is th most attractive
aide of her character.
There are three Taft children. Th. eld
est, Robert Alphonso Taft. ia In his lth
year. To the great Joy of hla mother, he
baa selected the hereditary profession, Ian,
as his life work.
The only daughter. Miss Helen Herroo
Taft. named for her mother, la the pride
Of th. household. She' la an exceptionally
brilliant girt, tall and slat-ly In appear
ance and devoted to books. Sh. Is 14 past.

"Petticoat Row" Is the mor famous title
by which Centra street In Nantucket Is
known. Although It Is the principal busi
ness street, th little shop with which It
is lined are all run by women.
Th. attention of the summer visitor
sauntering along th well waahed side
walk Is first attracted to a sign, modestly
tacked p by the door of a store and bear
ing the brief Inscription, "H. G. Sheffield,
Buttons and Trimmings." Miss Sheffield
Is called by th Nantucket correspondent
of th Boston Herald "the Nestor of th
business women of Nantucket."
Her ability in that line seems to hav.
been 4 ell demonstrated, for years ago she
purchased a sixuble block, where she makes
her home and conducts her business, rent
ing the remainder of her building at a
good profit. When th. women folk of Nan
tucket lack ar.y Utile notion or want to
match a peculiar kind of button they al
ways go to "Hannah'a" and find what they
are looking for.
Opposite Miss Sheffield's store is a mil
linery shop conducted by Miss Ella F.
Sylvia, who a year ago purchased th busi
ness from tie Misses Coffin, two maiden
women who spent the best part of their
lives on Petticoat Row.
Next comes La Mod, a store 4 here fancy
work, dress goods, etc., are always on sale
by Mrs. M. A. Husaey, who knows how
to meet the Nantucket trad with exactly
th. kind of gooda that it demands, and
doea a thriving business.
Miss Nellie Keane occupies tb. stor. ad
Joining Iji Mode with a line of millinery
that Is certainly a credit to Nantucket.

Ther. ia a little girl In New York being
brought up according to the very atricteat
of modern scientific Ideae. Although the
up-to-date methods apply to her sleeping,
playing, dress, exercise and many other
things as well, It Is their effect upon ber
eating which s.ems to make th. greatest
Impression upon th. poor littl. rule-rlddea
damsel. I'p to the age of I ah. waa per
mitted to cat a prescribed list of articles,
severely limited; during the next year her
menu was widened by a certain number of
ethers, aud now that ss Is uavcllng
toward her fifth birthday a few mora have
been added. Nothing new is allowed, how
ever, without a consultation of the volume
which serves as a guide. Th other day
th little girl was lunching with her mother
at the house of a friend. A dish which
looked attractive, but which was not within
the child's acquaintance, was placed upon
the table.
"Oh, . mother," she exclaimed, looking
up with eyes (n which hope and doubt
mingled, "is Is that In the bonk?"

Hhede I ala ad's Woman Jailer.
In In thi? quiet old village of East
Greenwich, where th. ancient penal Institu
tion officially known as th Kent county Jail
doses laaily rear the shore of th bay, Mrs.
Eivelyn G Smith holds the unique position
of Jailer and has the distinction of btlng
the only woman at the head of an Institu
tion of this sort In th. New England atates.
The Kent county Jail waa erected about
1-0 years ago, relutes the Providence Jour
nal, and for th greater part of that time
has been handed down in Mra. Smlth'a
tainlly Uk. as ancient heirloom. It la lE.
only home that th present keeper has
ever known, and In spit, of th seeming
Incongruity of her sex snd position, sfio
enjoys tha work and thus far has experi
enced less trouble with unruly prisoners
than have men in similar positions..
The Jail consists of a large two snd a
half story house of the boxlike type that Is
found all over Rhode Island as landmarks
of a century ago. In the rear of the old
fashioned house Is a large wing constructed
of brick, which contains the cells. Tb
wing waa built-about seventeen years ago
and took the place of a fram structure
of the same size and shape.
Mrs. Smith owes her present position to
an Incident that happened In th. hazy his
tory of sixty-five years ago. At that time
the Kent county Jail was placed In charg
of Earl Place, a irranduncle of Mrs. Smith.
He held the title for a couple of years,
when It was passed along to hi brother,
Jonathan Place, who waa Mrs. Smith's
grandfather. When he died his son, John S.
Place, Inherited his property and th title
of official Jailer.
John S. Place. Mra. Smlth'a father, re
tained the title during his lifetime, with the
exception of a few years, when he travelel
for his health, and thus It was that the
present keeper .became acquainted with tha
duties at a very early age.
His daughter waa united In marriage with
Jothan S. Smith, and when her father died
thirty-five years ago her husband was ap
pointed to succeed him. He held the posi
tion for eight years, and as there were no
more male helta to the title, It was thought
thnt It would puss out of the family.
8in after her husband died Mrs. Smith
began to make preparations to remove from
what had always been her home, when she
was approached hy the officials of Kent
county and requested to aaume charge of
the place on her own responsibility. Dur
ing the falling health of her hushand she
had practical control of the Jail, and the
county officials expressed th. belief that
with ber intimate knowledge of the needs
of the Institution she would be able to di
rect Ita ar?alrf better than a man who
larked th. knowledg. and experience. She
coi.sonted to the arrangement and alnce
that time has had absolute control cf all
that pertains to the Jail.
Leaves From Fash Ion's ot Book.
The little nine-Inch ao,uare handkerchiefs
with colored hemstitched borders, which
have been such a fad the ltiat year, make
dsinly back bows. A small piece must b.
cut out of thesa for th knot, and then th
two ends are pleated and sewn together.
The linen costume in both white and
colors Is destined for an unprecedented
vogue this summer, and here, too, embroid
ery has preference over any other mode
of decoration, and over the plain or self,
trimmed creation which was so largely th
mod. last season.
One of the newest things In smart neck
wear la the butterfly bow of whit, lawn,
I lies, bows are easily made and most ef
fective, worn with the embroidered linen
collar on a tailor made shirtwaist. On
great advantage Is that all eons of odd
and ends of laces may be utilised Ito trim
th bows. I
Lace Is little used on the heavy linens,
but is seen In even greater profusion than
ever on tha mulls, batlmes and other thin
materials, while th costume of fine, soft
linen is also used In profusion, but always
In a flat effect. LJnen in its Very qusllty
forbids the accession of many frills and Is
alwaya at Its best developed with ma chin
stitching and handsome .mhroldery.
Th plnnfore styles admit or some fas
cinating nsea of the more delicate forms
Of embroidery, and the Increasing dainti
ness of the lingerie waist, which, In spit
of dire proimoBtlcHtlons hi to Its speedy
elimination from the fsshion list, is mora
in favor than ever, haa given excus for
more and yet m re exquisite specimens of
needlework.
Hand-made Jabots are much worn. They
are in all lengths, the lingerie jabot ex
tending from th. neck to the belt some
times. They can be made of Irish crochet,
cluny or Valenciennes lace, all of which
wash well. The strip of Inwertlon down th
center should be two or three Inches wide;
narrow lace is pleated or gathered on th
edge, and at the nerk Is a luce bow with
a knot of aome light allk.
It Ij getting to he a positive craze, th
f:id of making the costume mutch, and th
Idea, Instead of becoming rather old-fash-lonvd.
grows more and more in favor. It
has come to pass now that each irown
must have Its complete setting of all things
to match. And this fever f'ir matching
the gown Is not confined to the house nor
to the street, but It has extended to th.
KOif field, the croquet ground, the hathlntr
befleh and all the other sports.
Mrs. Roosevelt has yielded to the golden
brown mo'le, snd her latest evening gown
Is of an exquisite aatln. which shimmers
In gaslight like the rays of the setting
sun. It Is embellished with heavy oriental
lace with the deslvn outlined in golden
and gemmed threads and a most artUtio
t'uch is a cluswr of autumn leaves, merely
flecked w'th Jewels, which mnke a half

thing for such a toilet. Mrs. Roosevelt
wore this Kwn st her now furu.ua must

was produced, and she never hoked more

costume is of black broedcloth with a

Is lined with grass green satin and a hint
