the fashionable choice make tasteful, mex
pensive and cool summer dresses, when sim
ply made, with little embroidery for trim

touch of color. If the embroidery is a very
open pattern the colored satin is also placed
beneath it.

glish great-coats of a severe shape, following
the outline of the figure as closely as
cuirass, without pleat or fold in the back,

pumps; their flowing hair is cropped short

moon hats, that frame their faces and have

1t is rumored that Superintendent
Semmes, of the street railway, will perfect
his schedule system next week, and compel
drivers to observe it to the letter. The boys
will not have the chance then to make ar
engagements with each other to "lay up" and
warn people not to get on as "this car will
lay up at the stable" Mr.. Semmes would
add to his already many improvements on
the old plan by either having clay up" car
followed closely by the one succeeding it, or
causing the preceding one to wait at the
stable until the clay up" comes up. But
everybody has his own notion about running
street-car line, you know.
