Or(sndl, Mnallns. I. area and Voiles ol th Iautlat Dsaigns. One sees little but summer goods nowadays at large shops. One of the rliiiutlest designs of the sheer fabrics Is the pin point dot of black or color n white ground. Ord! mry Swiss mus lin seems to lie next la favor, and makes charming gowns, but alt light and summery goods are In demand. While white Is popular for "dressy" gowns, the average woman of good tense and taste prefers colors for u.-r ordinary wearing apparel, not wishing to be dressed at all times as If for a garden party. China or navy blue, let tuce green or wood brown grounds, with delicate nioflts of white, may be as bewltclilngly pretty as one pleases, 9 ml infinitely more serviceable than white. The quantity of lnce that Is now used for trimming mokes it possi ble to Impart every airy charm to auy color If the fabric is film and flue. The so-called "wash suits" frequent ly are far removed from the possibil ity of easy laundering, so elaborately nre they liiade, but the "shirt waist suit" of dark pique or linen Is a useful addition to auy woman's wardrobe. Neither material Is tliln enough for extremely hot diys, it is true, but either Is perfect for the cool days that ire frequent la the summer ninths, m which organdies aud uiusll. nre iaiprudeu:. Clowns cf guipure or f lurry lac? nre highly favori il, this season, being less perishable than other If ecu. A love ly costume for a garden futv was tu.ide of a (Jounce of Cluny on a wnlte taf fetti drop skirl, with a tunic o.' all over Cli'.ny. The iloitncr' and the tunic's hem were edged with a scroll design of narrow gr.ld braid, aud the former was headed with a bauj of broader width. . Some of the new guipures have a touch of delicate color In portions of the de;ig'.i, and the effect Is charming. Some ingenious womcu have been known to introduce a thread t.f color Inti white laces by outlining the most prominent flower or figure in the pat icrn. The coarser laces may be made immensely chic iu this way. ' ,, .. .!." One can hardly go aslray In the choice of thlu fabrics, as mousseliues, hlffons rnd all other diaphanous uia l. rials, plain or embroidered, are equal ly liked. Linen and silk gauze, organ lies, Lyons grenadines and Calais laces may be selected as one chooses with no fear of mistake. a '" Apropos of the ragj for white. It may be remarked that white, hosiery, so loug threatening a return, has actually arrived and Is begging for udmlsslon to modish wardrobes with such sue eess that one may expect to see stock ings of finest white silk and lisle worn by .fashionable women whose gowns nre white. They will be Invariably In the most delicate luce openwork cf- (TtMIM' turn Voile Is of all woolen fabrics the best :dapted to summer wear. A fetching tailor made continue of pearl gray voile, lately shown, had a waistcoat of ralist blue taffeta fastened wilh tiny silver buttons. The collarlcss Eton was trimmed with a stitched band of the taffeta, edged with uilve? braid a quarter of an Inch wide, und the nar row circular flounce on the skirt was headed by a similar baud applied In in almost Implemented desigu, edged above uud below with silver braid. White voile and tan are popular, also, for summer tailored gowns. New Vork Tribune. Heat Rooms For Uimluess Women. There are In the down-town Chicago business district morn lliuu a dozen rest rooms, where the self-supporting woman may enjoy an hour's comfort when she goes to lunch. Of these the one culled the "Noanday Kest" may .serve as a type. , Established several years ago by a few earnest und enthusiastic women, within a month the "Kest" had OW members, with many more on the wait ing list. To-duy the membership ros ter shows 1400 names, and tlio "Kest" is In every sense of the word a club home. A fee of twenty-five cents a month entitles a self-supporting woman to Join. This procures for her the freedom of a suite of well fur nished rooms, Including reception hall, otflce, library, music room, parlor, bed room, sewing room, lunch and lecture room. So article on the menu cos's more than five ceuts, aud as many of them cost less than that sum a good hot luncheon may be obtained for tun ceuts. Between tue hours of 12 and 2 o'clock dally I20U youug women may be seen In the lunchroom, which Is airy and light and tastefully decorated. The members enjoy the privilege of a cir culating library of 000 volumes. Cur rent literature magazines uud the dally newspaper are ou the library table, and the members read these In rooms adorned with paiu.llug and Mutuary that have been bought at lUd annua! exhibitions of Chicago artists. The rest rooms are provided With lounges and rocking chairs, und a matron Is always In attendance, while a womuu physician gives her services free of ckarxe Chicago Keeord-IIerald. Concerning nieevee. Under-slceves are still In favor, made of lace, chiffon, batiste, liberty silk of any material different from the rest of the gown. They, fit clone to the arm or are In puffs, and some even are hirred; but none of them are ugly or exaggerated. The sleeve that stops Just at the elbow, or a little below it, finished there with a turned bnck cuff, is not nearly so popular ai It ban been, probably becausn It is usuully unbe coming. It is much less graceful than thft aieeve that finishes below the el Low (u a ruillo or dure In an exegjr- ated copy of the coat sleeve. Thlu ( gowns look well with elbow sleeves, S but one style that Is fashionable is most unbecoming; this is the sleeve fin. Ished below the elbow with folds of muslin or silk and without rulllo or flare. It Is one of the most trying styles ever designed, and yet seems to have a firm hold on the affections of many women. Au attractive sleeve which looks equally well made of silk, muslin, or clotb, Is Just a little larger than the arm, mid readies not quite to the wrist, where it I finished In squares, and shows underneath a full puff of the same material, gathered Into a band. The reason this is so be coming Is that Is has lines loug enough to ninke the urm appear graceful. Hal pel's Bazar. A Womaa Farmer. Mrs. Mlunie Eshlemau Sherm.-in, of California, a former society girl of Philadelphia, owns nnd manages n farm of twenty-eight hundred acres, with Its varied Interest of dairying, stock farming and fruit growiug. In her palm bordered orchards and vine yards are grown raisin grapes, pears, peaches, apricots, ueclnrlnes, prunes, oranges, almonds and olives. For her Immense herds, Mrs. Sherman grows all of her own feed, the cows In sum mer beiug pastured on alfalfa, and, as the season advances, on ensilage made from the first crop of alfalfa; then, on corn from the silo, and later on green rye.

New York Commercial Advertiser. . . . . A New KlfM For Women. Women have Invaded another field of Industry In New York City, nnd it behooves the "sandwich man" to look out for Ills Job.

The cherry Is the fruit of the poets nud Rougmnkers, for has It not been n standard for the lover to liken there to his sweetheart's kiss. The fruit on every side has had deservedly Its full (hare of praise,. Tor its mission Is to combine the ornamental with the use ful. Its beauty begins with the flower nud does not fade until the ripened fruit Is gathered, and it has the furth er merit of keeping Its flavor better than auy other small fruit when cooked or preserved. For breakfast, clusters of ripe cherries white, red or black arranged with their leaves, will tempt the most capricious appetite, nnd the acid of the fruit is ua excel lent toulc. To let the season pass without a cherry roly poly for dessert Is to make a sad mistake. A rich biscuit dough Is made, rolled very thin, covered thickly with stoned cherries and rolled together. Put this In a bag nud plunge in a kettle of rapidly boiling water, to be kept boiling briskly for half or three-quarter of an hour, accordiug lo the thlcitncps of the roll.

A Pretty flood lloiialer Otiont Story Tim Vnrlona Wmy In WMrh ttio Splrll Maniraateri Itelf IIJW Creen CaiJo to Be J.ynchod. A special correspondent cf the C.'il- i cngo Inter-Ocean writen from Flora, In.1., as follows: There Is one com munity in thla State whera there In ro tilsseit on the question as to whether there are cucu thing:! as ghonts. Walnut Orovc. a village fw.i mllcfl west of here, la the plnce, and sa firm Is tho faith of the resldenta there In spcoko thnt they have forced tin school truntees of t'.io town.jhlp to abandon ths cclicolhoime that for years has answered for their needs, aud construct .mother that will be freo from t!it? taint of beiug haunted. For some years tho r.t rv thnt g!n sto were common visitors in thn vicinity of tho Walm.t drove echoolhjuse have lieca current, but the truntees, who nre hard-headed types c f Hooslers. have always refused ti give any cre dence to tho report:). They have lived In hope that the Ktorler: would lie for rotten, and hare dene all that was In their power tj cast ridicule uhou the rumors. Their course v-as dictated by two motives. In the first place, they did not believe In gho.7U, end In the second, they had an Investment In the celioolhotiHe nnd re ruled the circula tion t.f stories that were liable to im pair Its value and c.sef illness. From the standpoint of the trustees, this action on theif part wiu till right, but it did not nreet with the approval of the parents of the children who had to attend the school. When little Johnny Jones and his slsier fcr.e, for Instance, came screaming home lo their mother nnd told her of seeing a man swinging by tho neck to a tree In the Immediate vicinity of the school house, and that the banging man n mused himself by making ugly faces nt them. It became a matter of mo ment to the parents, especially as lit tle Johnny and bis sister Site almost went Into spasms when 'told to go to school as usual the next day. The story of Johnny and n s sister had cor roboration from other children vho at tended the school, nnd finally the par ents began to withdraw their children from the place and send them to this city or to same other place to get nu education. Sometimes tho ghost varied his ap pearance, and Instead of hanging from the tree, would be seen strolling along the road, his head very much on one side, his tongue hanging out of bis mouth, and on expression of Indescrib able agony on his face. The children said that they would no more than get a glimpse of him when he would disap pear in the most unaccountable man ner. The ghost would be walking on tl:e road where there was not nn ob ject to afford him concealment, when, presto! he would be goue. The children and the parcuts said tlinjt It was Amer Greeii's ghost. Tho school trustees said "fiddlesticks," but the parents stuck to their belief and ncccutuated It by withdrawing their children from the school. At the last term of the school, the one that has just tlosed. there were only two schol ars, nud nt Its termination the teacher told the trustees that she could not en dure the life at tl" school for another term, and must leave. The trustees tried to get a teacher to take -the school for th? fall term, but Its fame as a gliont-hauuted place had become noised abroad, and the quest of the trustees was unsuccessful. In view of this fact,. and in deference to the wishes of the taxpayers tho trustees have awarded the contracts for the erection of another schoolhouse In lieu of the old one. It will have another site, aud the hopa Is that the ghost of Amer (Ireeu will not Iu future bother the children aud Interrupt Ihelr edu cation. The slim attendance at tho school the last term, as well as the change of heart ou the part of the trustees, was largely dm! to tlc apparition that ap peared to Dr. Budl-ord Karns of this city one night last fail. Dr. ICarns ;s not an eniotli mil man, ;.iid his repu tation for truth and veracity nre un questioned. The doctor had bscu making a professional call iu lln? Wal nut lirove neighborhood oil theulght of November :;, and had lo pass the vicinity of the sehooMiouse on his way liome. While passing a grove of trees near tho Schoolhousu ho saw Uie body of a nuin hanging from a limb and swaying back and forth. When the doctor told of what he had seen the next day it settled th? matter, and the fate of the old schoolhouse was assured. While there has uot been anything new discovered to account for the ap-' pearauce of the ghost or the unearthly noises that have terrified tho -cbildVcu nt school, there Is only ono belief on the subject, and that is that the un canny object Is the ghost of Amer Creeu. On a walnut tree iu Ihe vi cinity of the schoolhouse some years ago Amer Green was struug up by lynch law and bis body left hanging there. In view of the appearance of the ghost so frequently and Its appar ent inability to rest, the community Is now beginning to take some stock In Amor's dying declaration that he was Innocent of the crime for which lie was lyucLed,, nud that ho will never rest In tils grave uutll his Innocence Is made plain. Amer Green was known in the neigh borhood as a "terror" mid was a gen crally notorious character, lie was nu admirer of Luclla Mabblt, Ihe daughter of William Mabblt, u well-to-do furiner living near Yoiiug Ameri ca, thirteeu miles northeast of here. Mabblt did not approve of the Intimacy of Ills daughter with Green, and at his command the girl wrote her admirer a letter requesting that he abandon his suit for her hand. Such a request did uot suit tho lm petuous nature of Clreeu, who became greatly enraged at the girl's letter and made numerous threats of what l)o would do. August lt, lSrtd, tlroch, In company with William Walker, called nt the Mabblt house In tho evening, iiiul asked to see Luellu. Her sislor Cynthia, now Mrs. Walker, went to the door und told Green, that Luellu had goue to ld and did not wish lo get dp. Green raved at hearing UiW, un.l finally Luellu. gut up and (iicmej nud she and Uree'i went, out together. Cynthia went to lied and t'icro was r.o one else In the house who knew that Luclla and Green had gone out to. gether. That was the last scan of Lcclla Mabblt alive. When she did not ro. turn homo a search was made for her, but no trace could bo found. Green was arrested ou the charge of murder nnd placed l.i jail nt Delpila. Almost six Months afterward, on February 5, 1HN7, the body of li w imnii w:ij fished out of tho rlv. sonic miles he low Lafayette, and come of the rela tives of the girl recognized the corpse no that of Luclla. There were douhlg then, and always have been siuce, a: t) the value of the Identification. When the Coroner' it Jury held an Inquest on the bidy picked iut of tho river the verdict was that it was tho body of Luclla Babbit, and that she came ti her nd at the hands of Green. He was held for the cWnie. but the State of ficials found so much diDcilty in tracing bis movements the nlglii he had gone out with Luella that the trUl was put off time nnd again in order that they might make out a case against liitn. This delay was uot understood or ap preciated by tl.c community, which was terribly aroused over tho disap pearance of the girl, and was fearful fiat her abductor and murderer, as they Judged Green to be, might es cape punishmeut on some technicality. It was resolved that Greet must die. About 10 o'clock on the night of October 21, 1SN7. a mob surrounded Ihe jail nt Dolphin slid called on the sheriff for the keys. When he refused to give them up the? mob attacked the jail with cold chisels nnd sledge ham mers, f.inl soi n -forced nn eutrance. Creeu was taken out. placed in a wag on wilh a guard, and then the mob climbed In to their vehicles, which wciie standing around, and the proces sion came up Its route to( Walnut Grove. When Uiey got. there Green was con fronted with Mr. Mabbit, and to the bitter's question as to what he had done with Luella swore that the girl was alive and well and was then liv ing at Fort Wayne, Tex. Mr. Mabblt nud the mob were of the oplulon that this was a lie and was told for the purpose of gaining time, bo without any more parley the ropo that had been brought along was placed around Green's neck and the other end thrown around the limb of a tree, nnd In a few monienls Green was a corpse.
