ILLUSTEATIONS OF NEW FASHIONS I)nrhet of Snthrrland Enlrrltlm nud Helps Scottish Philanthropic Morcntnl Plraaare ( Ranelagh. LONDON, Aug 4. London' posalbllltle In the way of garden parties arc a surprls-j 10 visiting cw lorkns. Many household era living within ten minutes drlv of Ih focu of traffic hav charming gardeni en c.oera oy nign walls, Ivy draped, whoit dimension are aufficlent to warrant this slyl of entertainment. On the lawns bountifully larirti tables are spread, from leary corners orchestraw lend a soft accom paniment of popular melodies and complet ing the picture stores of fashionably gowned women with always plenty of men troll to and fro. Attending one it is dlffl cult to believe that within a stone's throw may be a traffic congested Londoa street. Nor do the private residences have ' ( nopoly of this attraction. The same ruU holds good in regard to msny of the apart ment houses of the best class, rebuilt from former mansions and retaining the gardens belonging to them. Lata July Is Ideal garden party weather. It Is cool enough for comfort and warm enough to wear one's garden party clothe. You arrive at your destination as you started out, this delectable condition brought about by the payment of Is 2d. Vcur Merry Widow hat Is not changed into a scoop In transit; you have not been sat on, Jumped on or pushed on and off crowded vehicles. You recall the remark of an Englsh woman stepping dainty and trim from a hansom at one such event: "It isn't what a shilling gets you, but it's what It protects you from that makes it so valuable." Uf the many garden parties given in London during the season, big, little, semi public meaning thereby those where the guests are expected to patronise some laud able charity possibly the most Important and certainly the most picturesque was the on given at Stafford House by the Duch ess of Sunderland to help the work of the Scottish Home Industrie association. In addition to the usual social attraction It included a very interesting exhibit of Scot tish homespuns, knitted work and the art and 1 craft work of the Cripples' guild. Charmingly gowned young women, some of them representatives of Scottish families, explain the merit of the article shown Some of them try on tweed coats deftly and detail their expensive attractions glibly. Another sinks her, painted chiffon gown Into a huge raincoat of green tweed which looks a If it would last a lifetime and has a very smart tailor finUh, and actually Implores you for your own good to take advantage of the opportunity to buy It. You are sure she is sincere in her advlco, for the wares displayed are perfect of their kind and have a softness of texture and a , lightness of weight that send American guests Into transport of delight. They buy largely and generously and help to swell the receipts, which are said to have grown each year since the establishment of this function. 1 This time the advertised presence of the r king lend special Interest to the affair and at the hour specified for hi arrival when the weather, capricious as a modern Woman would never dare to bo, changes from doubt and dismay to an expression of sunlit content, the suite of room on the ground floor, the principal terrace overlooking the pleasure ground and the grounds themselves are crowded with guests who are not at all exacting or im patient, for In the interval of waiting they have some of the most beautiful women In England to look at. When the wireless message passes from one to another that the king ha arrived there is a closer massing of guests and the moment before the stir at the dour leading to the terrace is the final announcement of his coming, a half doien Scottish pipers, from ths duke' private corps, suddenly flash Into view from a screen of tree and Strut with martial steps, chests expanded, kilt flying, across the pleasure grounds,' past the great urn filled with flowers, up and down th sward, to and fro, their bag pipe emitting the half melancholy, halt alluring strain of that most peculiar in strument. At the very moment when the kilt with a final flourish disappear behind the spreading branches th quietly Impres sive flgui of King Edward VII, unat tended, come leisurely into view through the lane of men who hold their ailk hats in the regulation position, high near the forehead, while the women look with inter ret and exchange the usual commonplace that "the king I looking ex-tr-aordtnarily well today." The king 1 popular with all his subject and especially the feminine one. To the American eye, critically bent on Judgment without personal prejudice, the king Is not looking at all well. Ill face Is pale and his eyes heavy, lie walks a It h were tired from the strain of a bisjial sea son, every day of which I cumbered with function lu which he must always be the central figure and which he rarely neglects. He la dressed In a durk blue suit, with a cutaway coat that doc not conceal lite rotundity uf hi figure. He wear white carnation on hi coat lapel and a black ilk hat . Following him ip and down th length of th terrace Vnd through the suit of drawing looms the duchess of Sutherland walk at a few step distance. She Is dressed In a clinging gown of platinum I colored charnieuBu, with embroidered tunic In which 1 no fold of excessive draping. A big picture hut of old rose Is the on note of color tf you except the perfect rose, the exact shade of her hat, which ah carries l't one slim hand and occuslnnully raises to her Hp. The king, who spends un hour altogether at Stafford Haute. Is particularly keen In hi scrutiny of tii handwork In silver done by th Cripples' guild, which Includes ar ticles for th dek. for th dressing table, for smoking, etc He buy largely of these. and If he doe not purchase the tweeds and bomespuns exhibited by several pretty women, he Is at least appreciative of the k seller' intention, to all seeming. On of these sttracliv saleswoman I th Hon. Mr, deorg Kepple, who wears a stunning costume, a cros between sslmon pink and apricot, of some satiny textui? opped with an enormous black hat and n aigrette thereon which would make a member of an Audubon society, even If he happonfd to live In Philadelphia, sit up and take notice. A momentaty vis-a-vis Is Mrs. Lewis llarcourt In cerise and gray. These and other fcowns noted have all similar features of excessive clinglngness, th trains, like mermaids' tails, swirling about them stiff and destroy the adhci-ivj effect; th tall, sllpht figure moving with difficulty in materials that wath without uperflutty. The fishwife ' and tunic effect, the newet fashion, follow the rule of closeness, and to all appear ance the figures might have been moulded Into their gowns. Soft silks, satins and weaves like chat metis and kindred materials are popular. Chiffons and mus lins are worn to an extent, but prin cipally by th younger women, the near debutantes. Lady Helen Graham 1 In a creation of turquoise silk muslin, and there are several other of th mora matronly class who favor the mete rial from time immemorial associated with garden par ties. One of the belle of the occasion Is Lady Margaret Campbell, who is in a white satin gown and her picture hat Is a bed of pink lose. An American girl near her wear a allkly finished blue linen, a mass of exquisite hand embrold ery, and her blue lined hat is coquettlshly trimmed with blue plume and aigrettes. Conversation Is tow toned and languid A member of a foreign nobility whp has been in the United State and married a rich wife I heard to say to an American inquirer: "I shall probably never return; there I nothing to attract me there now. I have a house In London and a shooting box in Scotland." An English girl 1 explaining to a trans tlantic cousin that of her long line of distinguished relatives sh Is particularly proud of on who ha th privilege gained from a far-off ancestor of standing with hi hat on before th king. "But would that be any fun?" ask the American, "Not fun exactly," respond th other, "and, of course, he would never think of doing such a thing, but It 1 rather nice to have the privilege, Isn't it?" "If I were he," Is the answer "I should certainly get real devilish some day and put It on. Think of th enormous satis faction." The English woman I visibly hurt, but you do not wait for her response If there b any, for an amiable guest offers to show some of the storied glories of the beautiful mansion and explain some of its history enroute. "Stafford House," say your guide, "should be extremely interesting to Ameri cans, for Its history Is closely associated with many events that have helped make American history. It has always been a rendesvous for celebrated people who needed it assistance In their philan thropic work and the largesse of Its mean and name have never been refused. The present duchess I following out precedent established from the beginning of the fam ily's power. In contrast with th garden party at Stafford House 1 one at Ranalagh, th name of whose pleasure grounds I asso ciated with th social life of long ago. Ranelagh, a short motor ride from Lon don, 1 th best known country club nar London. Every Saturday afternoon a gar' den party i on and there ar usuallly p' chil entertainments of pony racing and polo tournament, for next to Hurllngham it ha th best polo ground anywhere about. It wide approach 1 a quarter of a mil long boulevard, winding under an arbor of spreading trees. The club house still preserves the Elizabethan features and was once the residence of the famous Klt-Kat club. It ha many comfortable reception rooms furnished In cretonnes and chlntses, a valuable collection of old print, and even the spur smile of Oliver Goldsmith, a full length portrait of whom adorns th entrance hall, cannot cast more than a momentary shadow over the quiet gayety of the four or five hundred guest. There la some attention paid here to land- soap gardening, In which it differ from the usual English park. At many turn you com to pretty little bridge thrown across artificial pond, and on th green bank you dlsput possession with stately swans, ducks and geese, while som pea cocks on th turf further along remind you of the Scottish piper at Stafford house w1h their lordly etrut. There are spacious golf fields and many croquet grounds, level as a billiard table, the awardllke vel vet offering a good framing for th ath letlc English girl, with faces browned but with always the rose and white com Ing and going in the cheeks, defying the accusation of artificial touohes. Itustlo arches or rose edged lanes lead to quiet seat placed ao that If lovemaklng I desired or even flirtation, It may be carried on In a fit frame, but they are apparently little used; neither pastime I suggested by the average English garden party crowd After you have sat for a while In on of the combortable chairs placed In rows along the old round which at Ranelagh border the raving track, and witnessed one of the pony races, hurdle or kcurry, or that per haps for the Ranelagh cup, for all of which the entries must be owned and ridden by members of th Ranelagh club or by off! cers of the army or navy, you stroll, a th mode Is. along the stretches of lawn listen ing to th music of several band stationed her and there, one of which Is always In action, or following another slice of the crowd you take your tea In the open, with a rose bush at your side, music In the dim distance a waiter in scarlet coat to serve you and on of th many attache in scarlet trousers, whit sweater and straw- hat th regulation livery of this corps to pick up your handkerchief, fix your chair or perform some other important duty. Tea her a elsewher at social function is an elaborate spread, with Ices and parti colored pastries and huge strawberries flaking the special brew served in fragile porcelain cups. At your special table an Englishman Is explaining, with elaborate detail, the rea son of the English polo players' defeat at the International match. "Your player ram over and bought all our best ponies, splendid mounts fine little beasts, they were. Cawn't stand up against American dollars, you know It'" An American girl with a big strawberry J Third week of our August clearing sale of fur- niture, carpets, rugs, lace curtains, draperies WE WILL CONTINUE MONDAY WITH INCREASED VIGOR THE CLEARANCE OF ROOM SIZE RUGS.

RIEPEN THE UNDERTAKER Republican Candidate For - C0R0N0R AResident of OrasJlia for 40 Years, and Good Business Qualifications. To the Voters ot the City ot Omaha: I hav (lied for th office of Justic of the Peace on the Republican Ticket, and I believe it the duty of every man who asks the people to vote for him for office to let them know something about himself and what he stands for. I was born In Ne braska, have lived here all my life, havo practiced Is w for twenty years in the State, and have always tyen a republican. The office of Justice of the Peace in Omaha Is of much importance, particularly to the men who work, for most of th cases in which tliey are Interested are .settled In these courts. The amounts involved are too small to warrant taking to the higher courts, and yet rights at Just a sacred, and wrongs just a grievous as in matters of more financial weight, possibly more so because of the fact that retnrdy by appeal la too costly to follow. I believe, that a Justice Court should be conducted with the same dignity and decorum, and the issues decided with as much csre and attention as in District Court, and if I am nominated and elected it will be my en deavor to carry out these principles as fully as I can, and to do Justice to every nan as clearly as I can see it, without regard to plaintiff or defendant, person or corporation, association or party. If these Ideas are in line with yours, I ask your support, candidly and openly, if I did not feel free to do so I would not ask for the office. A. I. TIMBLIN.
