The well dressed woman has found that she does not need muslins
and dimities for coolness In the summer, but that in a simple gown of
silk she Is at once better groomed, free from the danger of wearing
Hp and crushed-looking clothes on a hot day and Just aa cool, as In a
gown of sheeror material,
The dress of violet charmeuso we show you today, on the left, is
cut bn simple new lines that aro coming into vogue.
The blouse is cut in a deep V which opens over a email, round
yoke of gathered white net. It Is finished at the neck by a broadly
rolling sailor collar. A long Bleeve s fitted over the arm from a low
armhole. This mousquetalre sleeve folds low over the wriBt.
A broad oriental girdle swathes, the waist and Is tied In a wee bow
with one long tasseled end at the upper lino of the girdle in the back.
The skirt Is of round length. It is cut on the bias and folds Into
the waist line front and back in a series of plaits.
The delightfully cool-looking, little dance and garden party frock,
on the right, was designed especially for Monna Delza (ono of the pret
tiest of the younger French actressos).
The bodjee Is a blouse of straw-colored net. It is made double
over a camisole band of the softest mallnes lace In the same delicious
straw color.
A folded scarf girdle of cltron-colorod taffeta Is knotted at the left
side and falls over the skirt.
Below this aro three superimposed tunics with quaintly scalloped
edges, reminding ouo of grandmother's day, Those start at the right
of the waist and lengthen decidedly at tho back. The skirt proper
draws up at the .hack and swathes the figure In transverse folds of the
softly draped citron taffeta. At the feet there Is a wide cording of the
taffeta, and below this peeks an underskirt of tho straw-colored ma
llnes lace.
Mllo. Delza poses at tho girdle a blush pink rose and wears pearls
and a marvellous headdress with tho costume Tho young American
girl would probably dispense with pearls and paradise and add another
rose in the soft colls of her hair. OLIVETTE.

"The midnight nun" is ono of those
seemingly mysterious natural phenomena,
which exercise a porpctuni charm ovor
tho popular Imagination. Tho northern
part of Scandinavia has acqulrod for -it
self tho distinctive name of tho "Land of
tho Midnight Sun," but tho title should bo
extended to include a complete circuit
of tho earth along tho Arctic circle. Then,
too, tho southern hemisphere has a pre-
clrely similar phenomenon, which occurs
slung tho Antarqtla circle, Including a
portion of Wilkes Land.
Properly speaking, a midnight sun Is
soert but once a year In cither hemisphere.
Confining our attention to tho northern
hemisphere, the midnight sun Is vlslhlo
near tho Arctic circle on the date of the
summer splstlce, which occurs about
Juno 21. at tho time when the nun, In Its
apparent annual circuit of the sky,
reaches Its greatest northern declination,
which means its greatest distance north
of tho equator. This dtstanoe In angu
Inr measure Is about 2311 degrees, which
Is precisely equal to tho Inclination of
the earth's axis of rotation from a pert
pondlcular to the plana of Its orbit around
the sun.
The Arctla circle Is situated thin same
angular distance (3314 degrees) from the
north pole. When the sun Is directly
over the equator, about March 11, Its, light
reaches simultaneously both poles of tho
earth. As the sun begins to move north?
tyard the light quits the south pole, Which
tlien enter upon Its period of six month'
night. Uut at tho same time the sun

"For one year my right wrist and left ann

sore eruption. The eczema broke out with a
rash and looked liko raw beef steak. It
Itched and burned continually and I had ! mnde,
to keep my arms covered with soft Unea
cloths. I could not sleep at night.
''I was told it was chronic case of eczema
and. got medicine but it had no effect, Then
I sen for a sample of Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and the flrst appUcatlon seemed
to help me. I used them throe times dally
washing first with the Cuticura Soap and
hot water, than covering with the Ointment.
I purchased two cakes of Cuticura Soap and
a bos of Cuticura Ointment and in six weeks
my arms and wrists were thoroughly healed,
not a scar remains and I have had no trouble
since." (Signed) Mrs. John Clark, Jan. 28,'H.

The other day In a certain city I sent a
bundlo to the laundry.
When the clothes came back there
came also a big, square, sealed envelope
I opened this en
velope and found in
it three ten - dollar
bills, all nicely
washed. Ironed and
carefully placed be
tween two pieces of
cardboard and tied
up with a blue ribbon
in a lover's knot.
No explanation was
but in the
bill I saw they had
changed me 25 cents
for laundering tho
mamma.
Of course I kicked,
but what was the
use!
Then Just for the
fun of the thing, In
order to got a line
or) that particular washhouse, I went
around and demanded an explanation.
The young woman In charge said thiy
hod found he money n the right-hand
pocket of a left-hand white vest which
I had sent In the bundle.
Then she explained, quite incidentally,
that whenever soiled clothes came (n
every garment waa carefully inspected
for valuables. Every day they found
money In pockets, diamond studs in shirt
bosome, valuable links in cuffs and eollsr
buttons enough to roll under all the
bureaus In Christendom.
"It is a part of our business," said the
young woman, "to protect our customers
against their own carelessness."
tine saw I was interested, and con
tinued, "We never send garments home
with the buttons off. Also, we do any i
little darning and mending that should be
done, and all this without charge. Our
business is to please our customers."
In looking over a volume of the last
United fitntos industrial census I find
that they could not call a laundry a fac
tory, so they gave It a class all by 'tself.
A laundry has only one thing to sell,
and that Is service.
You give them a bundle of soiled
clothes, and they send back an artistic
package, cleansed, Ironed, beautified.
Tho laundries of the United 8tates. out-
Uldo of hotel, factory or institution laun
dries, do a business In America of about
, 1123.000,000 a year.
i This ranks the laundry Industry as
i eleventh In size In America,
i Commercial loMndries are now to be
' found In every first class city of America.
They cleanse, wring, dry, Iron and starch
by machinery. No business in the world
has evolved such delicate, sure and ef.
fectlve machines as the laundry Industry.
It Is now no special recommendation to
ray, "These goods are laundered by
hand." Machines are manufactured that
cart do the work better than the human
hand can. And after all, the machine,
yoy must remember. Is an Invention of a
human brain. And when you use a ma,
chine to take the place of a dead lift and
labor of human muscles you pay a com
pliment tfl tha ln,vntor,
The laundries In the United Stajes do,
with the aid of machinery and the help of
one man, what ten women were required
tp do before. And with all the earing In
labor, yet the laundries of America em
ploy five times as many people as does
the Standard Oil company, and twice as
many as the Uplted Slates Steel corpora
tion. Our population Is, say, 100,000,000; and
wo pay il H a year per capita for having
our clothes washed, and this does not
coupt alt pf the work dons by house
wives who do their own washing.
Laundrymen today are prosperous
Their work comes with unfailing regu
larity, They can count on their cus
tomers, and their customers can count on
them.
Next to the supplying of food and
clothing th laundry hualness Is. the most
stable In America.
Tho men engaged In the business are

Some of these laundries are very sumpt

pliances and valuable automobile service

No country In the world has carried
the laundry business to the same degree
