FASHION NOTES.

EXTREMELY high French heels ar
not put on walking boots.
THE overdress is more and NOR
frequently worn with downward plat
as the season advances.
| SINGLE bangles are attached by ;
ribbon to handsome parasols, to slil
ever them and keep them closed.
SLIPPERS for the house are cut very
low in front, and have their box toe!
more sharply pointed than shoes.
WHITE China silk is being extern
sively used for underclothing. 1t is
soft and silky, and delightfully."- cool
LONG fchus are in white embroid'
cred null and India muslins with an
edging of wide lace gathered in a
full ruffle.
LAPIs-LAzULI is both prettier and
more becoming than navy blue, and
is the blue of the season in both dress
fabrics and trimmings.
JERSEYS are finished with velvet
collars and cuffs. Almond-colored
and cream-white jerseys are stylishly
used over ecrufoulard skirts.
PRETTY lamp-shades for the sum-
mer have a rose -colored or yellow
foundation, covered with narrow ruff
files of any kind Of delicate imitation
lace.
A NOVELTY in the Queen Ann shoe
is the introduction of red AMI black
patent-leather fronts, just fastened
with small steel button, and Louis
Quinze heels.
LITTLE girls dresses of sateen have
entire bodies Of ssteen gathered to
yoke of embroidery, the skirt being
finished with three-inch hem and a
ruffle of embroidery below.
YOUNG girls wear peasant-waists,
or corselets Of velvet over guimpes
of crepe lisse or India null, with
small puffs for sleeves. The skirt is
ornamented with bows of velvet to
match the corselet.
For those who prefer colored
gowns, pale blue or pink, Scotch
bingham of solid color is used for all
of the gown bat the yoke, which is
made of white embroidery in open
compass, wheel or star patterns.
VERY dressy white bonnets have
the front nearly covered by an
Alsatian bow of futed Valenciennes
lace, on which rest tinsel butterflies );
the smooth crown is of white Grape,
with small figures upon it made of
gilt beads.
Too many ostrich tips are not In
good taste on the summer hats. The
Gainsboro shape so much worn by
the picturesque young ladies for some
time past is quite passe, and will not
be worn by those who wish to be
considered in style.
HAND-PAINTED sashes of silk or
satin, in pale Or dark colors, will be
much worn this summer over simple
house dresses of French muslin, Or
candle and lawn. With more dressy
toilets for the evening, graceful little
sleeveless jackets are made to match. |

Who Was Her

Mr.. Charles Levey reports at Flor
spce, Arizona, the finding Of dead man
between Florence and Desert Station.
Are any Of the numerous Angelenos who
have gone to Arizona among the missing
at the present time! Mr.. Levey says:
"His clothing was clean and his head
rested upon roll of blankets. II he
had died for want Of water he would
have rolled around on the ground in
agony. The dead man had on pair of
dark pants and blue shirt and two white
felt hats, one Of them new. His boots
had been newly half-soled and the latter
were put on with pegs. The victims
hair is . light iron-grey and his head is
bald in front. He has light-grey mus
tache and chin whiskers aud small burn
sides. Owing to the dis oloration of
the skin Mr.. Levey could not tell wheth-
er or not the victim is Mexican or
American. About one mile this side Of
the corpse Mr.. Levsy found pair of
light-colored pants and coffee-pot con.
tanning water. He thinks the dead man
probably threw those articles away, and
If so he must have been travelling from
Florence towards Desert Station.

A Newcomer who IL Making Money

A Mr.. Dunn recently purchased .
sixty-acre tract of land under the leve
Of the city ditch, this side of Sycamore
Grove, being told at the time of the pur
chase that he could have irrigatine
water from the ditch, scheme which
proved to be out of the question, a,
there was NO water in the ditch, to irri
gate the vegetables Of different kinds
that he had planted. He thereupon
purchased forty acres more adjoining
the sixty-acre rancho on the east, max.
ing = hundred-acre farm. The east end
Of this new purchase ran into hollow,
and Mr.. Dunn dug well, striking
water In abundant volume at thirty-six
feet in depth. He Immediately bought

sycamore trees, using wood for fuel and
where his family lives in tho shade.

In the advertising columns Of the

re-arrangsd speed programme announced
for the annual meeting at the Park in
October next. Four additional races
have been made and one purse raised
$50, This required numbering over and
q slight change in she order as first an

programme for the fair. and beyond

not easily controlled have prevented the

The Arizona Citizen gets on this as
founding piece Of meteorological informa-
ton about the effect Of the changes Of
the moon on the weather; awhile many
people do not believe the moon has any
influence upon the rains, yet long OBJ.
servation in Arizona by old residents con.
firm this position Of the new moon pre-
eeding wet season." Who would have
thought, before, that new moon pre-
ceded q wet seasonf In Kentucky,
Southern Indiana and Ohio there ia a
continued drouth. And Arizona has
been unusually dry this summer. What
Is this new moon about that she gives
plenty Of rain from Cheyenne to New
York, and has denied the blessing to
Arizona and along the banks Of the Ohio
for the past four weeksi Has the moon
set of favorites. and rains on the un-
just instead of the just! Where does the
new moon stay during dry yeari Where
Is the moon factory where new moons
are made? There has boon moon loaf
ing around the earth constantly for o
millennium Of years, and how much
longer is not recorded, but these new
moons seem to have more influence with
the present administration OF weather
matters than the old lunas, and arc cred
tied with extra work. How much larger
or stronger they are than the old moons
we are not informed, but the wicked u.s.
tronomers have measured the old and
new moon and found each of the same
size and travelling in the same orbit, and
so some peculiar people have concluded
that il was one and the same moon play
ing bopeep around the earth. If this
shocking proposition should be estab-
lished, then there would be trouble most
dire, for each moon would precede rain,
and there would be o strife to sec which
vouldbs greatest, in which ome one would
get moonstruck. In our locality the rain
fails sometimes to appear for nine months
in the year, while ten new moons have
been loating around doing nothing of any
commercial value.
Besides, the heaviest rains Of last
winter occurred in what Is called the
"old moon," in utter disregard of the
claims of the new moon, while in March
and April the full moon got away with
the heaviest rains, and the earth and the
moon were full.
If new moons preceds wet seasons. why
do we not have wet season every
month"; knowledge is anxiously sought
for on this aqueous question. In the in
terim probably the hoarse ban-dogs will
continue to bay the icy moon.

Stewards Folly"

Last night ex-senator w. NJ. Stewart
Of Nevada. the man who is best known
as the builder Of an architectural mon.
strosity in Warrington called "Stewart'.
Folly" addressed the Second Ward Re,
publican Club.
George X. Gard, who sometimes indulg
% Ia fearful and wonderful flights of ora.
tory, introduced Mr.. Stewart to the au.
dience. The speaker Of the evening is /
large gentleman Of venerable aspect. and
looks like cross between DR.. Gelcich
and q country preacher. He made his
best bow and started off with the state
ment that he was out Of politics and
was an humble private citizen. With
more truth than Is generally found in 4
Republican speech, he also informed biz
hearers that he was no speaker. Thil
was cminently true. The honorable gen.
tleman thea s0lemnly said that there were
more men and women in Los Angeles
who deported themselves with "mors
department and good feeling" than there
were in any European town Of three hun
dred thousand inhabitants. The audience
felt hattered at this "taffy," but shade
of incredulity stole over the ceuntenances
Of some. Then with the elegance Of ex'
preston and correctness Of diction which
so distinguishes one John A. Logan he
said that he got terrible hot because
the Democratic party got 20 internal
wrong"
He mentioned the name Of his friend
Wills Potts, whereat there was ap
plause.
The speech dragged so and the people
were 30 inattentive that when the
speaker mentioned Cleveland's name and
some wicked Democrat clapped his
hands the rest Of the audience mechan.
icaliy followed suit. His explanation Of
the tariff was so complete and lucid that
hereafter no member OF the Second
Ward Club can complain Of not fully
understanding the tariff question in al
its bearings.
Forty-seven Of the Young Mems Re
publican Club escorted the speaker "a
the hall, and there were about one hun
dred and fifty men and boys present
SO take IL altogether the meeting wa,
decidedly dismal.
