I I Organize to Elovnte the Drama. Mrs. A. Starr Best, society and lit erary woman, of Chicago, Is president ot the Drama League of America, a new association that has undertaken to improve the moral and intellectual tone of the stage., She Is one of sev tcral Chicago women who have de clared a war on the chorus girl In tighta and upon suggostlve plays. Their method Is to stimulate the best drama by encouraging an Interest. In plays as literature. In this way It Is hoped to awaken a keener Interest In plays as art and not as mere amuse ment. "We aim," says Mrs. Best, "to work with the public In an endeavor to organize It Into a trained audience, , capable ot enjoying and demanding the best plays. Thus far, the public lias been too good natured. It accepts what the producing managers give in stead of making a fight against inde cent shows and demanding attractions of a higher class. We intend to carry on our campaign by organizing clubs In cities and towns throughout the country and by sending lecturers to these places." New York Tresa. , , Don'ts For Stout Women. The stout woman must not "slump." Her one safeguard Is an erect carriage head up, chest up, ab domen in. This wards oft that fleshy back. Nor must she permit herself to re lax. Negligees, comfort, and down-at-the heel attire are not for her. She should keep trim, though she nearly passes away with beat. 8h must watch her manners, par ticularly her table manners. She may not take liberties with her el bows, lop over the table, or eat care lessly. Daintiness is essential If she would not be repulsive. The stout woman must train her self to light walking. Nothing shows her weight like dragging her feet and clumping heavily. ot sifted flour and one cupful of milk, then add three eggs. Mix until perfectly smooth and free from lumps. Butter the trying-pan well, pour In some of the mixture and cook until nicely browned, then turn on the other side and brown this. Turn out on a hot serving dish, spread rather thickly with any preferred jelly, and fold the pancake in half. Another method Is to make the pancakes any preferred size. When the first is cooked spread It with the Jelly and place tha Becond pancake on top. As many as liked may be placed, one on top of the other, like layer cake. Cut in triangular .2- g at 2 3 c U - pieces,; sprinkle with powderea sugar ana serve piping uui. She must discriminate in styles. Put her in a bicorne hat, peasant drapery, and chantecler colorings, and she need not be surprised at crit icism. She must learn to take life quiet ly. Excitement, rushing, and temper are conducive to apoplexy and do not Improve looks. The red-faced stout woman, looking ready for apoplexy. Is not a pleasing vision. She must be dignified. It moves the onlooker to tears to see the stout full ot airs, graces, and kittenish coy ness. Her dignity should not Inter fere with jollity; the hearty laugh is a hallmark ot avoirdupois. She must learn to toy with food. Fasting is not healthful, banting is a trial to the soul, but greediness in the stout is as unpleasant as it is fteshmaklng. Beyond all, she must wear good corsets and learn how to put them ' on. It makes just he difference be tween mountains of flesh and a trim, stylish figure, a trifle too large, but not repellent. New York Times. f Suggestions For Mourning. Simple black will be correct for mourning for a sister-in-law. Only blood relations' affect conventional mourning. You should confine yourself to dull materials, such as voile, Panama, plain black net, di'U wool batiste, thin, dull surah, serge, dull chiffon taffeta and crepe de Chine. Fabrics that are not appropriate for mourn ing garments are brilllantine, silks that show a bright, glittering surface and laces of all kinds. Suitable trim mings are braids, dull ribbon, faggot ing, plain black net, folds ot dull Bilk and dull passementerie. In millinery such straws as dull chip and dull finished hemp may be worn; also frames covered with net, dull soft silk and dull gauze. The trimmings may be black flow- - era (no yellow centres), dull black ribbon, large bows ot net, also black wings. Moiro and velvet are not mourning. Hose, and shoes should be black, the latter In a dull finish. Patent leather is incorrect tor mourning. Belts must also be in dull finish, such as suede or dull ribbon. Ruch ing, if worn, should be a plain lisse in wblte o black, without lace edging ot any sort. V White Hl ; i collars and cuffs are admissible. " These accessories in plain lawn are only worn by near rel atives. The frilled collars and cuffs known as claudine may be adopted if fash- - loned from strips of hemmed or hem 1 atltched white lawn. A mourning veil is unnecessary, bat the mesh chosen should prefer ably be a plain one, as the Russian syq4 the octagon weave. Dots are not considered in good taste. Gloves, both ot silk and kid, are correct. It Is not necessary to confine your self entirely to ,black gowns all sum mer. Plain white toilets finished with black accessories may be worn. For morning you could have a plain white linen or duck skirt and a simple white lawn shirt waist, fin ished at tbe neck with a white linen collar and black tie. The cuff buttons should be black, and the belt also. For Btreet wear you might add a coat to match the skirt and'a plain bnnded black sailor hat. The gloves may be of white chamois, hose black and ties ot white or black. For afternoons simple frocks of plain black or white lawn, mull and Swiss are correct. Dull dotted SwIbs is also considered in good taste for slight mourning. In making transparent goods a lit tle tucking should form the yoke or rows of ribbons faggoted together. When this Is unlined the relief is suf ficient without any addition. The collar should be carried out In yoke effect and edged with a cord or a strip of ruching. There is no objection to. a collarless waist, the neck to be fin ished with a turn back Dutch collar without either lace or embroidery. For more formal wear choose voile or any ot the dull finished fabrics mentioned. These could be made with guimpes or yokes of plain black net tucked, and trimmings of ribbons or silk are allowable. Your evening gown could be of net or crepe de Chine, copying any simple model that you consider becoming. A light wrap of black pongee or ra jah will be necessary. Black skirts with plain white blouses may be worn for morning, but will not be in good taste for after noon. Ynnr tailored solt could be of thin black serge or a closely woven Pan ama. Elizabeth Lee, in the Iew York Telegram. BRGTTY JJJMINGS TO WGAK Blue reigns supreme. Pongee petticoats are new. Tighter than ever are the skirts at the bottom. Some of the pleatings come with a border in color. Tulle makes a simple yet attractive coiffure ornament. . Neck ruffs ot tulle, the exact tone of one's costume, are seen whenever a cooler day comes. ' Crocheted pearl collar pins are one of the latest fads, and very much in keeping with seasonable toilets. The Persian belts are usually fin ished with a very narrow edge ot pat ent leather or dark yellow suede. Parasol handles are a compromise between the very long Dlrectolro stick and the short English style. An odd bizarre style ot dress may "go" in the houso,as a quaint conceit. but never should be seen on the street. The latest things In night caps are made of very sheer India linen, with a simple design done In shadow em broidery. Suede gloves are more worn than a glace kid, probably because the fit is much better and the band looks smaller in It. Black and white is not a becoming combination for a pale face with light eyes and dull hair. Such a face needs warm colors. Gray and white, brown and yellow, violet and white and especially green white are the colors chosen for lovely striped linen dresses. Tbe very smartest thing which a woman can have to complete a toilet is a handbag of Irish crochet tor hold ing calling cards, purse or handker chief. Dainty bags of pongee and linen are seen. Some are embroidered in flower designs, others with small fly ing birds, while others still are quite plain. . , Patent leather ties, with suede Tamps in lighter shades, are worn on the street. With these stockings are worn that match the. walking costume exactly: Belts are a distinctive feature of many ot the new coats. This does not mean that the belt completely de fines the waist line. Sometimes, it appears only at the side and back, and again it may be in evidence at both back and front, but noli at the side. Ik New York City. Little girls are wearing a great many pretty dresses this season, the blouses of which are tucked to form their own yokes. This one Is just as dainty as can be, yet It means very little labor. The straight skirt is finished with a wide hem and with a tuck, and In this Instance trim mine hna been arranged above both, but it is only gathered at the upper edgo. The blouse is laid In fine tucks that give graceful lines and provide fulness below, while it is joined to n shallow round yoke thnt Is pretty and, becoming. As illustrated tills yoke is made from strips of insertion, but any all-over muterlnl, or plnin linen or lawn embroidered would be pretty. The Hlneves'nre novel mid give excep tionally becoming lines. Embroidered musliu makes this dress and It Is trimmed with Valenrlennes banding, but nil the dainty thin summer fabrics are appropriate. With the trimming omitted und the round yoke made from the material or from all-over embroidery, the dress would become adapted to figured lawns and batistes and to similar materluls of everyday wear, while as illustrated, it suits the embroidered muslin, cotton, chiffon and the like perfectly. Tbe dress consists ot blouse and skirt. The blouse Is tucked at its upper edge and gathered at the lower and joined to the round yoke nt tho uppei1 edge, to the belt at the lower. Tho skirt is gathered and joined to the belt and tho closing Is made at the back. Tbe sleeves are in ono piece each, trimmed to give the over lapped effect. The quantity ot material required for the medium size (ten years) is four and three-fourth yards twenty four or twenty-seven, four yards thirty-two, or two and three-fourth yards forty-four Inches wide, with eighteen yards of banding and three and one half yards ot edging. Stocks and Frills. i Very wide circular frills are put around the' newest stocks. In some cases these are bo exaggerated that they might easily be used for a gulmpe with an open-necked frock. They are not practicable for everyday wear, however, for a single wearing under a coat would render them unfit to be seen. Handkerchiefs. The newest colored handkerchiefs are In polka-dot designs. Accordion Pleated Slouse -To bu made with a tucker at the neck, or I with yoke, with or without standing collar, to be pleated by machine. Ac cordion pleated blouses and costumes are greatly In vogue Just now, and the pleating suits the fashionable thin materials admirably well. This blouse is an exceptionally graceful ' and becoming one. Lingerie Gowns, rina fwin the lure ot the lingerie gown. Some, to be sure, have felt It right along, many girls wearing ine rtnintv ilrPRKPs for evening all season. The new ones are really lovely. Ba tistes, fine lawns, gossamer. muBiins, cambrics, the softest of linens, mous sellnes do solo, embroidered nets and lace are the materials or tneso aaimy little frocks, and a new note this sea son Is the Introduction of several of tlieao fabrics in the creation in a sin gle frock. Tunic Skirt With Five Gored t'pper Port ion. Tunic- skirts aro constantly growing In favor, und this one Is exceptionally grateful.

Bordered foulard Is the material Illustrated) and the flounce has been used without cutting, while the border has been cut off and ap plied onto the tunic, but any seaBon nblo ninterlnl will be found appro priate with banding of contrasting material or of braid or embroidery or with a fliilHh of braid or rat-tall cord applied over a stamped design. Such skirts nre used for tho simpler wash able materials, as well as for those of silk and wool, so that tho design Is a very generally useful one. Cotton voile treated Just as illustrated would make un exceedingly handsome Bklrt of tho kind, the Bt III simpler batistes and the like are pretty so made, while the silk Illustrated and pongee are perfectly wel) adapted to the model. The Bklrt consists of the five gored portion, the flounce and the tunic. The gored portion is smoothly fitted,. the flounce Is Btraigbt and pleated, then joined to its lower edge.

' Fyelot Emhro'dery. There are some beautiful parasols with eyelet embroidery to match suits of linen, and others are trimmed with embroidery "set In," matching the lingerie gown prepared. Clotli Top Shoes. Cloth top shoes come in colors to match tailored costumes. , reakfast Jacket To be made with square or high neck, elbow or long sleeves, to be worn with or without tbe btelt. Breakfast jackets that can be belted are always desirable ones. They give an effect of trimness and neatness that Is in every way attrac tive, without in the least Interfering with tbelr essential comfort. This one can be treated in that way. f ft SCIENCE Sf By this time next year all vessels leaving our ports will probably be re quired to carry wireless telegraph outfits, provided they have fifty or more passengers aboard. A bill to this effect recently passed the Senate and also the House. Scientific American. Boils come from the staphylococ cus pyogenes aureus, and are very common in people with Brlght's dis ease, diabetes, gout, tuberculosis and disorders ot digestion, and often ap pear after severe fevers. Boils nre commonest in the spring, and some times epidemics ot bolls run through hospitals, Jails, barracks and asy lums. At the international telephone and telegraph conference which Is to be held In Paris next September, one of the Important subjects to be dis cussed will be that ot automatic tele phone exchanges. In connection with the conference, the French gov ernment has suggested that a public exhibition of automatic systems be held, and has offered tree space for such exhibits. Each apparatus must have a capacity of at least one hun dred subscribers. Scientific Ameri can. A patent has just been granted on the UBe of molybdenum for the elec trodes of arc lamps. Tile inventor states that a very brilliant nre may be produced If the electrodes are made of metallic molybdenum and Borne material which will increase the conductivity of the electrode. Electrodes containing eighty-six per cent, molybdenum and fourteen per cent, iron have given exceedingly good results, and even a proportion of ten per cent, molybdenum and ninety per cent. Iron has given an arc that is very white and brilliant. Scientific American. Pipe-line connections, says the American Machinist, have been com pleted by which it is possible to pipe oil from the Oklahoma wells to New York harbor. OH has been started on the long journey of 1500 miles. This is tbe longest pipe line In exist ence in the United States, and, in deed, In the world. It is not probable that much oil from the mid-continent district will be brought to tbe sea board at present, and the completion ot the line seems to be more in the nature ot a provision for the future, or for emergencies which may arise. Oklahoma has the most active oil field in the country at present; more over, its production is increasing, while that of Pennsylvania and West Virginia is decreasing. It may not be long before the Western wells will be called upon to supply the seaboard and export demand. Enormous Coal 5 Deposits in Alaska Geological work of the Government In Alaska shows an aggregate of 8,- 106,880 acres of coalfields, and ot these 769,280 acres have been sur veyed in such detail as to warrant the statement of the Geological Survey, always highly conservative, that in these areas there is a reasonable de gree of certainty that commercial coalbeds can be opened up. In con sidering the coal underlying these 769,000 acres, the Survey, In a re port to the National Conservation Commission, estimated a tonnage of 15,104,600,000 tons of accessible or mtnable coal. "In view of the condi tions," the statement concludes, "It is perhaps conservative to multiply the figures of 15,104,500,000 tons by ten or even one hundred to arrive at an approximation of the fuel re' cources Of this vast little explored re glon." And this does not take into consideration, apparently, the 90 000,000 acres of totally unexplored territory, geologically, but in which coal Is. known to exist and which, it is fair to assume,' contains its share. That the coal reserve of Alaska is as yet practically untouched is shown by the statistics ot only three or four years ago, when Alaska's entire ex port of coal for a year was but four tons. Her shipment of gold for that year amounted to fifteen tons. The World To-day. For ner Father's Sake. "I want to have an understanding with you," said the outspoken old man, when the expert in voice culture had asked him to sit down, according to the Chicago ' Record-Herald. "I want you to tell me the truth about my daughter's voice." "My dear sir, don't ask me to do that. It is too painful." "What! Do you dare to look me In the face and insinuate that she is never likely to be able to sing?" "I am very sorry, sir, but if you will compel me to speak the truth. It is as you say." "Then why the devil have you been letting her come here for two years and hand you my good .money In re turn for your lessons?" "Because I have wished to serve you, sir. Whenever I tell young ladles they can't sing they go to a teacher on the floor below, and he charges fifty cents a lesson more than I get. You can figure tor yourself rl.ftt I h.iV4 saved you on three les- ob,i l Avet for two years." FALL DEMAND IN TRADE I CONTINUES TO BE QUIET Jobbing In West la Enlarged by Har vesting ci Crops Collec tions Unimproved. .' New York "Bradstreet's" review oj trade says: "Trade reports are still of quiet in tall demand, though the advance ot the season and the force of crops to- . ward harvest has aided in enlarging jobbing demand at some important . western centers. Chicago end St, Louis repoTt the first of the fall Job bing excursions, helping to expand trade at those cities, while the rather better results of spring wheat harvest are evoking moro optimistic reports , from northwestern cities. Buying la still confined largely to clearance sales of summer goodB at concessions. "At the east there Is slightly more ioing In some lines for fall. Cotton goods feel the effects of mill curtail ment in increased steadiness of prices. and raw wool of fleece grades is still active, despite the rather sharp ad vances noted last week. Collections as yet show little improvement, and aro slow as a whole. In leading Industries there are few new features. Building returns for July show a heavy decrease from a year ago, much 6f which is, however, accounted for by the reduction at tne metropolis, and there are still more gnlns . thao losses at the country's . cities as compared with the midsum mer month a year ago.
