FASHION NOTES.

There are fewer expensive fabrics
in market this season than have ap-
peared for many years. Novelties
crowd the shop windows and counters
which prove far too tempting both in
price and quality to be passed by with
out purchase, and the more expen-
sive goods accordingly left unsold.
Stripes are very fashionably worn
as underskirts with tunics and bodi>
ces or polonaises of plain material,
with the striped goods introduced on
the bodice as a plastron, waistcoat, or
collar and revers. With such dresses
double tunics are sometimes employed.

From the Dallas Herald.
AS so much has been said about Lieu
tenant-Govern6r Gibbs having rs
ceived a gubernatorial salary whilst
officiating in Gov. Ireland's stead, and
as Mr.. Gibbs thinks the fling too small
to be noticed, in explanation the Her
aid ventures to satisfy the curious by
a statement upon which they may rely
implicitly. After Gov. Ireland's return
home from New Orleans, Gov. Gibbs
returned to Dallas without say ing
anything about salary. Gov. Ire
land had a warrant drawn and sent to
Gov. Gibbs for $50, deducting the
same from his own salary. Upon re-
ceipt of this warrant Gov. Gibbs
promptly returned the same to Gov.
Ireland, refusing to receive anything
for his services. This is the whole
transactit n in all its details and is
vouched for by the Herald as being
strictly true. The facts as related
were neither given by or through

This matter of juvenile marriages

that Massachusetts, judge in hearing

location to severely animadvert
upon the conduct of those
clergymen who perform the
marriage service for such youth.

health in after life no man or woman
should enter the marriage state until
they have attained their physical
growth, and it is only In case Of pre-
cocious development that this occurs
before the age at which, in accordance
with law they have attained their
majority. Aside from physical con-
siderations, girls just entefiHg their

For the Sake of Cleanliness.

The claim of several companies

purity" in their preparation, that ade-
quate aerating strength cannot be OBJ
tanned in a baking powder without
ammonia, is fallacious, both on moral
and hygienic grounds. Ammonia is
not only poisonous, but an unclean
drug, and consumers of baking pow
ders containing it are compelled to
partake of traces of animal excre-
ment. The doctrine of the Price
Baking Powder Company, in which
they are supported by the chemical
and medical authorities of the nation;
is that a powder for raising the bread
