Notwithstanding the break that the glim
mer vacations have made In Hie ranks of
the local social set lasi week proved about
us gay and us enjoyable as any werk of the

with a very few Inconspicuous except ions,
they were all Riven Ht the clubs. Wednes
day was almost lccurd-breiiklnu, the list of
parties being long at bnlli the Country
and Kleld clubs, while Thursday, ladles'
day at Happy Hollow, hniimht demands
that could not be met. It was noticeable
that but comparatively few of last week's
luncheons were given for any one, although
aeveral hostesses entertained several times

This week promises to be ii repetition of
lust.

KIMONOS AREIN HiGH FAVOR
Costly1 and Inexpensive Materials Em
ployed for Hobea of This
Kind.
Deep lingerie collars, beautifully em
Woldered and inset with lace give a touch
of daintiness to certain robes of albatross,
otherwise severely simple, and hand em
broidered bands of plain silk of broadcloth
border some of the more expensive robes
in lightweight wool of delicate hue. Oc-
1 caslonally one finds a boudoir gown of
chiffon broadcloth in light tone made and
trimmed after some one of the fashious al
ready indicated.
The Inexpensive negligee gown for hot
climates is, however, of sheer stuff and
usually white or flowered In delicate colors
on a white ground. For these models,
aside from the kimono, variations upon
the empire theme aro perhaps most numer
ous, wide liberty satin ribbons run through
wide embroidery bending serving as a gir
dle and giving to tho models more tritnness
than is common to robes loose from the
shoulder. The flowered muslin negligees

the white lingerie negligees are often most

WORK OF THE WOMEN'S CLUBS
Pennsylvania's Legislative Committee
Recomends Model to Other States.
LIBRARY EXTENSION IS URGED
l.enernl Federation Committer AsUa
lsle Federations to establish
Mauarlne I Irenlallna ln
tioil nod Libraries.
'l-l,- 111.-.....' I ..ituliii, iniiiinill I i ... if the
1 General Federation of Women's Clubs.
u,rK, n chairman, Mrs. Addison F.
Hroomliall of Troy, O , Is asking every state
federation to establish a system of free
magazine distribution; to appoint commit
tees to seek out lumber or milling camps,
state or nlher Institutions in need of lit
erature and to establish stations where
magazine may be sent regularly each
month for free distribution. This work Is
already being successfully carried on In
several states mid the chairman of thr
General Federation's committee Is pre
pared to give detailed Information regard
ing It. All Hill) women living In commu
nities where no, libraries exist, but whose
state laws permit their establishment, are
urged to strive f r local libraries. More
; general use of the traveling libraries Is
also urcd. as this helps to create library
sentiment and encourages efforts for the
establishment of permanent collections.
The committee also suggests that the clubs
establish scholarships in library schools t
assist women In fitting themselves for this
line of work. The committee has secured
an edition of the American Library asso
ciation list of books for boys and girls for
distribution among the Hub women.
Model l.eulsfnll vr Committee.
The committee, on legislation of tho
Pennsylvania Federation of Women's Clubs,
with Mrs. Franklin P. lams, chairman, bus
established a system for legislative work
that may well serve as a guide for other
state federations in organizing a working
force along this much needed line. Tho
system is described as follows by ono of
the Huh journals: A resolution was I
passed three year ago that nil desired
legislation should tirst be submitted by the
clubs to tho state federation legislative
committer. The chairman of that commit
tee keeps in constant touch with the chair
men of all standing committees of the
federation, and with other organizations
likely to present bills to the legislature,
such as the Mothers' Congress and Juvenile
Court association, In order that the feder
ation committee may serve as a sort of
clearing house and bureau of Information
for the whole state. Arrangements are
made to have the chairman receive the
legislative record and copies of all
hills Introduced. A newspaper clip
ping service furnishes Information of bills
introduced. If, after examination, a bill Is
to be supported, the chairman writes In the
name of the federation to the legislator
who Introduced it. advising him of the sup
port of the clubwomen, and a letter Is sent
to the chairman of the committee to which
the bill has been referred, giving the rea
sons why the clubwomen approve the meas
ure and urging its early passage out of
committee. Ix-tters are written to legisla
tors by the clubwomen of their home dis
tricts, requesting their support, and, when
necessary, club representatives appear be
fore the committee having a bill In charge.
A circular letter la sent out to club presi
dents at tho beginning of a legislative ses
sion, giving a list of d. -sired laws, and ask
ing for suggestions. Information and criti
cism from Individual clubwomen. As a, fur
ther step In intelligent work for needed
legislation, the clubs are asked to devote u
day In the course of the legislature's term
to consideration of pending bills that havu
been endorsed by the federation. The re
sult of this systematic work has had a
noticeable effect on members and commit
tees of the state legislature, and encour
ages the clubwomen to continue their
efforts.
Thr Sifn Board of lnsorrtora.
Governor Sheldon's appointment last
week of three women on the first board
of Inspectors created under the new child
labor law to assist In Its enforcement, is
gratifying proof of the governor's con
lldcnce In the women of the state. The new
law provides that two members of the
board shall be women, but no pay at
taches to these offices. The personnel of
the hoard Is practically the same as the
original stale proposed by thu framcts of
aw
It is hoped and anticipated that a gener
ous representation of clubwomen and
others interested will attend the social
service program to be presented at the
Bcllcvue assembly, Monday afternoon,
August 6. Mrs. Draper Smith of Oniaha
will preside and Judge Kennedy, president
of Omaha Social Service club will present
Judge Ivee Kstelle, who will speak. The
program will open al 2 o'clock and It Is
expected that the local Juvenile court will
postpone its' session until the following
day that all interested may attend.
WHAT WILL BE WORN IN FALL
KoinrtntnsT About thr Fabrics and
Colors that Mill Be
Modish.
Blue will be in high favor this fall and
winter, and that is certainly good news,
because blue is pretty apt to be becoming
to pretty nearly everybody. Navy and
royal blue are both loooked upon as fashion
leaders. Copenhagen blue and nattier
blue, or old blue, are both high style
shades.
Many brown shades will also be used
russet. Havana and the leather shades.
Browns showing a coppery tinge will be
modish, as well as deep mahogany tones.
In greens we have the preference given to
forest green, which is a beautiful rich leaf
tint, not so yellow as olive, and Is much
more becoming. It will be much seen In
the plain fabrics. The bronze greens will
also be worn. A bciuittful deep American
Beauty rose shade will be stamped the
j mode, and many Bordeaux reds will be
; favored. Two grays will be especially
fushlonable-the gray we see In stiver, and
darker mouse shade. The tendency,
liin-ii',', is toward dark shades. Fabrics
show Indeterminate effects, and beautiful
mlnillngs of soft, dull colors. Black will
v'.-ke itseif conspicuous in both the new
fabrics and the new trimmings

HOW MAILS AID SWINDLERS

It is a very old theory thst the publi,
likes lo bo humhiiKKcd K.miy confidence
games began in Atuerna wlen tlie first
traders gave a handful ol glass beads to j
the Indians In exchange for valuable furs. !
'Che Indians seem to have liked It. The ',
ordinary methods of sending Information i
about his schemes from place lo place by I
word of mouth or by a demonstrator soon
grew too slow for the American confidence
man. and long before the seventies lie was
winking the mails for all 'hev were worth
In pushing his Ideas. There was no law
against It, because surh a contingency ha 1
not been foreseen, and soon there appfard
In the papers and In circulars sent through
the mails most astounding offers by which
the ambitious might amnss a fortune by
the expenditure of only a few cents.
Then the government awoke to the real
ization that the people were helna- swin
dled, that Its own postal service was the
quickest means of doing the swindling,
and that It was being; usd for all It was
worth. In 1872 things had g-nwn so no
ticeable in the mail-swindling line that th
attention of congress was drawn to II and
a law was enacted making It punishable
by fine to mail through any postorhVe let
ters or circulars concerning "illegal lot
teries" or schemes devised to deceive and
defraud the public. In 1STH the term il
legal" was stricken from the law and all
lotteries came under the ban. An older
law, dating back to 1K, had also prohib
ited the sending- of lottery stuff by mall,
but tho makers of the bill hud overlooked
the attaching of any kind of penalty to it,
so It was necessary of little use.
In 1SH0 the law was made to apply not
only to lotteries as they are renerally
known, but to all "so-called gift concerts
and similar enterprises offering prizes do-
pendant upon lot or chance." Year bv
year the law has tightened its grip on the
mails and any scheme that savors of fraud
Is promptly brought under the notice of
the post office authorities and sifted down
to the bottom. From the passage of the net
of li-90 to the end of tho last fiscal year
2.400 ' fraud orders" were issued by the
Postofflce department, and. If the persons
against whom they were issued did not
comply at once with the law, suits, fines
and other unpleasant things followed.
Tho average swindler who uses the malls
Is a wily fellow. He has learned the art
of wording his offers so they attract the
remote and Indifferently educated, nnd so
plausible do his statements sound that he
linds easy and ready victims. One Is
frankly amazed at the credulity of the
human race. A typewriter company of
New York induced persons to send $2.jn as
a guarantee of good faith in a "copying at
home" scheme In which the purchaser was
to have a typewriter and fino sheets of
paper and copy letters at J2.50 l,fm. The
typewriter proved to be a toy affair that
was useless for tho work. The purchaser
as out about 2 and the firm in that much.
One clever New York firm bought up a
lot of letters from an agency to get ad
dresses, then wrote each person that he
or she had won a prize which would be
sent on receipt of $1.37 to "cover cost of
boxing and packing charges." Each de
lighted person invariably sent the amount
and received a piece of cheap Jewelry worth
a few cents. A blueing company offered
a "new automatic tension sewing machine"
to persons selling thirty packages of wash
blue at 10 cents apiece. The machine proved
to be a toy affair, and the letter In answer
to a woman's threat to sue Is filed awuv
as a mark of genuine cleverness on the'
part of the artful dodger who orignated the
scheme. Bogus detective agencies were
thick in the land for awhile. For a certain
sum of money they would send a star, cer
tificate of membership, credentials, etc., to
the purchaser, and not until the aston
ished victim had been hauled up before
an unfeeling magistrate for carrying a
gun, or for impersonating an officer, did
the luckless fellow realize that he had been
the victim of a scoundrel
The south was wrought up considerably
a few years since over the operations of
"The National Industry Council," which
extorted money from the negroes under the
pretense of helping them get pension money.
request or the organization a bill was
Introduced into congress providing pensions
for ex-slaves. This was used hh a means of
swindling the trusting negro out of his
hard earnings. It was declared that Jinn,.
000.000 was to be sent at once into the
southern states, and under one pretext or
another money was obtained from those
who were expecting a share of the pension.
This and several like organizations were
suppressed by fraud orders.
Mineral Rods and Magnetic lleallns:.
A Dallas firm found a ready market for
"mineral rods," which were supposed to
diacover gold and sliver below tho surface
of the earth. In order to stimulate in
terest In them the firtvi offered to buy up
all old coins that mlghr he revealed by
this magic. Other srjv mes of this kind
nave had surprising suicrss In the south,
but they, too, have been suppressed by
the government. Nevada, Mo., sprung u
wonderful school of magnetic healing on
tne puhlic. The president of the Institu
tion guaranteed to devote a certain time
each day to "absent treatment" of his
patients for the sum of 6 a month, pay
able in advance. Nobody appears to have
been healed because the president was
busy dictating letters to other trusting
souls at the time be should have had his
mind on his prepaid patients. It is a pity
he came under the government's displeas
ure, for he guaranteed to cure iKuerty and
to give success in business at the rale of
H a month per patient.
