TO erstwhile popular white fox is allowed to appear is a band trimming on a wee cape of unspotted ermine and as a high wide collar on the same On little shirred capes cf taffeta bands and collar of white fox fa also used. Maribeau and ostrich bands feather a few taffeta capes also in lieu of fur, but this season fine feathers don't make nearly so fine birds as do fine furs. This fur shoulder ought to prove a dandy reducing scheme not only for your pocket book but also for your embonpoint. Verily a pair cf too plump shoulders swathed snugly In mole or kolinsky during the torrid months will emerge TVORY SOAP could not be made better if it sold for 5 dollars instead of 5 cents a cake. It is made of the choicest materials.

It is made so carefully that it contains no free alkali or unsaponified oil. It is as good soap as carisbe made, regardless of price. There Is one woman in this citf who) welcomes the approach of xum- nier, that is a real summer, cot one jot; 'these cocL rainy onea. Perhaps you have already guessed who it it. She lis familiarly ard you might say ruucowugijr nweu iauy IKJUIUl- ful" andVThe Christmas LuV' by her scores of- friends, whether they art.

those she has aided or whether they are just her intimate family friends Probably you've already guessed that she is Mrs. S. W. Board-man, who has worked for years as head of the philanthropic committee of the Woman's club. It doesn't seem that there is a person who could fill this position as well as she has, she does it all because she loves to help people, beacuse she wants to help someone who isn't quite so fortunate as she is.

Her salary is lug, the only payment she receives is love, and respect and- she feels that it is well worth while. Summer days are her days of rest, that is the time when she has the most rest, because then there is no worry over coal to buy or that is not so much of it; No worry over keeping small boys and girls from freezing and in every way the worry over people who are a lit tle bit "down and out" i3 lessened. So why shouldn't "Lady Bountiful" be glad of summer when she sees a lit tleness sadness and poverty and besides has a little more time to herself, though 'when individuals or societies make demands on It, she is very wlll-'ing to give of her intelligence and strength. Speaking of "jobs" have you ever thought of the worries a librar ian must undergo everyday of her life? VisifT'S on the libraries ask scores of questions something like this: "How tall was prehistoric man? How pld I pray? was Sister Ann? What should you do if cats have fits? What woman first invented mlts? Have you the ''rhymes, xf Edward Lear? What wages do 'they give ytau here? Are oysters good to eat in March Are green bananas full of starch? Haf you der Holsenzollenspiel? Where shall I put this-apple Say, missus, Where's the telephone? Now, which is right, to "lend" or "loan?" Have you a book called "Shapes of Pear?" "You mind if I leave baby here?" Now isn't that enough to turn one's hair gray and really one would know 1 that it would take just such a kindly soul as Mrs. E.

B. Murray to fill the position of city librarian. If you ever listen to the questions asked the 11 brarian in the period of a few minutes, -you wonder how she can ever be so agreeable but it is a fact that she is. People talk about "soft jobs" but do you Ujlnk you would like eith er one-of these. I o- FASHION LETTER By MARGARET MASON (Writtenjfor the United Press) Cause furriners in furrin parts -Wear furs in summer time Our summer girls still keep it up Sans reason-and sans rhyme.

New York, OS Yv June 23. If you have a little mole on your shoulders then this summer you will be quite the thing.

Or thought that she had need to feel ashamed. It was only when she'd eaten of the apple, That she became Inclined to be a prude, And found that evermore she'd hare to grapple. With the much debated problem of the nude. Thereafter she devoted her attention Her time and all her money to-her clothes; That was the beginning of conven-. tion, And modesty as well, we now suppose.
