Thlsi was estimated by a ninn familiar wit'j the subject at $30,000 a mouth $00,000 In U. While Sir Thomas Llpton repeatedly xpresacd bis .confidence In Hhnmrork III.'s ability to win back the Amerlcn'a Cup, It nppenred that his mnfldence iwas not shared by those who were ac tively concerned In the management of the Shnmrocks. That Designer Fife, who had a reputation at atukc, nd who knew tho challenger as n father knows his child, 'bad grave loubts as to Shamrock HI.' ability to ope with Reliance was evidenced by the fact that under his orders tho bow prlt of the challenger was length ened three feet. . 8o radical a change In the rig of tho yacht waa Important, not so much be cause It Increased the area of the hend alls and changed the trim of the yacht, but chletly because, on account f having been effected on the very ve of the cup races, it indicated that the owner and designer of the yucht were not satisfied with the trim of the THE CNDERBpDY OF challenger and wanted to make last .minute Improvements on the sail plan as originally designed. Such a change, U It had been made before the yacht lea Fraud Kxpoaad In Washington.

The mortality among children in Spain is extremely greut. During the last six yenrs the number of children who died under one yenr of age in Madrid alone was 22,205, as ngulust 4008 In Purls during the same period. Qfirmaa riaat to Vlilt Vs.

Tho ninnnglng-owner of Reliunce, the defender, Is C. Oliver Iselln, the lending yachtsmnn In America. He U now forty -sis yenrs old. He wna elected a member of the New York Yucht Club In 1N77. and hns alnce be come' a life member. Though of Swiss descent he Is toll nnd Blonder enough to be called a typical Yunkee seumun, nnd his cast of countenance would confirm his claim to that title. Tho skinner of tho Reliance Is Cap' tain, Charles Barr, who steered the Columbia to victory in the two pre vlous International contests, when Hlr Thomas failed to bring winning boat across the line off Saudy Hook. The deaiirnora of the defender, it is need' leas to add, are the famous Herreshotl brothers, who have done much to in' crease the prestige of America as the, hind of peerless bout uuiuiers.

Shirt waists with yoke fronts are among the latest fea tures of the season and are peculiarly well adapted to young girls. This one, HISSES' SR1RT WAIST. designed by May Matiton, includes box pleats and straps over the shoulders ns well as the yoke, which Is cut In bat tlements nt the lower edge. The model Is mndu of white linen, machine stitched nnd trimmed with pearl but tons, but nil walstlng materials, cotton, linen, silk and wool are appropriate. The straps over the shoulders are novel and effective, but both they and the yoke enn bo omitted if a plainer waist la desired. The walBt consists of the fronts, back and yoke. Both fronts nnd back are laid In full length box plents stitched at each edge, but the bncks are drawn down smoothly while the fronts pouch over tho belt. The yoke is arranged over the upper edges of the fronts and beneath the centre pleat, which la cut In one with the front. The sleeves are among the latest with cuffs that match the yoke. The quantity of ninterlnl required for the medium size Is four nnd a quar ter yards twenty-one luetics wide, three and three-quarter yards twenty seven Inches wide, three nnd three quarter yards thirty-two Inches, or WOMAN'S WAIST. two and a quarter yards forty-four Inches wide. Woman's Waist. Waists with extensions over the shoulders are among the most fashion able of the season and are becoming to the greater number of figures. The stylish one, shown In the lurge drawing,-combines that feature with a novel trimming that gives a yoke effect and Is adapted to many materials. As de signed by May Mnnton, It. Is of nllo green louslne silk with the trimming of cream lace piped with panne a shade, darker than the silk, and tho tucked portion above the centre pleat of cream moussellue, but all waist and gown materials are appropriate. The waist Is made with a smoothly fitted lining on which Its various parts re arranged. The back Is smooth across the shoulders and Is drawn down in gathers at the waist line. The fronts are tucked to yoke depth and are gathered at the waist Hue where they pouch slightly over the belt. At the centre Is a wldo box pleat that is pointed at Its tipper edge, and above this pleat Is the tucked chemisette, the edges of w'-lch are concealed by the lace. The sleeves are tucked above the elbows but form full puffs below and are gathered into straight cuffs. The quantity of material required for the medium size Is four and a half yards twenty-one Inches wide, four yards twenty-sev.cn Inches wide, or two and a quarter yards forty-four Inches wide, with five-eighth yards of all-over lace, one and three- .unrter yards of applique and one-quarter yard of tucking to make as Illustrated. Baby's Short Clothes. In putting the baby into bis first short clothes, it Is important to bear In mlud that hitherto his skirts have not only served the purpose ef pro tecting his limbs and abdomen from cold, but have prevented free move ment of bis little limbs. With shorter skirts comes the natural Impulse to gse bis limbs, and baby becomes quite LATEST a "kicker." Long woolen stockings now become a necessity, nnd with them should be worn comfortable little shoes of soft, flexible leather. Do not take the flannels off the baby too soon, and, when put off, replace them on the lenst sign of chill. Many mothers do not lay aside thin little shirts nnd petticoats of flannel at all during the summer. The Commoner. Details of Irea. It Is the attention to the smalt details of her costume that makes a woman well dressed. Her dress may be beau tu fill, but If her gloves are not appro priate the effect Is ruined. Her hat may he suitable aud becoming, but If it be covered by the wrong veil all Is tost. If her shoes are not tu keeping, she will not appear as a well dressed woman. The reason that the French woman Is one of the best dressed women In the world Is Unit she pays strict attention to even the smallest details. She has no llnrliig contrasts and no one pnrt of her costume Is conspicuous, all Is harmony nnd the tout ensemble rest ful and pleasing. l.on and Nlrnilnr Figure the Fashion. The fashionable llgme Is long and slender, so Madame In Mode deslgus her trimming modes accordingly. Many smart frocks for morning wear have Hat, band trimmed bodices, with the bauds ndoruiiig the front of the waist hn lining loose from the belt over the skirt. Colored llnnilkerrlileffl. Colored handkerchiefs to accompnny morning frocks are enjoying greater vogue tliau they have ever known on this side of the water. They are shown In stripes, checks, plnlds and In nil the colorings common to tub frocks. Shoulder Collars. Shoulder collars of nil kinds are grad ually growing deeper aud deeper, so Hint now tliey really should nil be termed capes. Pen e FetlleoatS. Pongee petticoats, with double bias ruiTles have each of these closely tucked and finished with deep stitched hems. Woman's Hoi Pleated Waist. Box pleuted waists are much In vogue and bid fair to extend their pop ularity for many months to come. This one, designed by May Manton, Is made of embroidered pongee stitched with corticelll silk, but the design is suited to the many washable fabrics as well as to silks and wools. When greater elaboration Is desired, the collur and cuffs can be made of embroidery, lace or plain contrasting material. The waist consists of the lining, which can be used or omitted as pre ferred; the fronts and back are closed at the centre front. Fronts, back and sleeves are lnid In box pleats that are stitched Just a quarter of an Inch from each edge. Those of the waist extend for full length, but those ef the sleeves are left free at the elbows to form soft and graceful puffs below. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and a quarter BOX PLSATED WAIST. yards twenty-oue iuches wide, three and three-quarter yards twenty-seven Inches wide, or two and a quarter yards forty-four Inches wide. i THE JEFFERSON ' SUPPLY COMPANY Being ttie largest distributor ef Otstral Merchandise in thla ridnlty, is always ia rositlon to sirs the beat quality of goods, ts aim is not to sail you cheap foods but when quality is considered tha price will al ways be found right.
