FEMININE BULL-FIGHTERs
New but Not Successful Feature
Added to a Disgusting show.
Bull-baiting and fighting is not yet over
In France any more than in Spain. Despite
the cutlery that was raised some months ago
relative to the dlsgraceful scenes that oc-
Cured in the ampitheater at Mines, in the
southern province of Gard, during bull
batting carnival, the same spectacles have
been again witnessed amid the enthusiasm
OF 10, 900 spectators. On Monday the fam.
Gus ampitheater, monumental relic of old
Roman times. was full to repletion with a
crowd of beings, who had come to witness
the skill and prewess of the MatadOr Frntos
and his compeers. What was more, three
toteras were to appear, this being the first
time that women have entered the arena at
Mines AT 3 o'clock in the afternoon the
performance began with grand procession
of Spanish bull-ighters, male and female,
who rode proudly into the inclosed space to
the sound of military music. Three toreras
in fancy costumes, all sparkling with fill
gree and bangles, headed the procession
Then came the quadrille, composed of five
toreadors. headed by the great Frutos HIM
self in gorgeous habiliments. At the sound
of bugle splendid black bull of crossed
Spanish breed bounded snorting into the
ring. The women Immediately set to work

while the women were plying their darts so
as to prevent accidents, but these prOjec-

second bull, red one, which was next let
loose, made straight at ore of the toreras
a young woman, professionally designated
Sen0rita Bonita del Amo, and knocked her
over in second, but not, however, before
she had succeeded in planting two lance
headed pennons between his eyes. The
woman was disengaged with surprising
dizziness by her male companions and re-
turned to the charge with a courageous per-
sistence worthy of Nine. de Valsayre
herself. She was loudly applauded
by the public for her per-
Torrance. A fresh bull was introduced,
which brought out the finer play of Frutos.
whose first proceeding was to clear the bull
with pole as easily as if he were clearing
fence. He then simulated death by lying
still on the ground. escaping with marvel

onslaught of fresh animal. In the twink

horns and was tossed high into the air,
falling stunned to the ground. This was
the most deplOrable part of the performance.
and no more serious accidents occurred.
The Quadrille of men instantly attracted
the bulls attention from his PROSTATE prey,
and the woman was quickly sprinkled with
water or vinegar, and rose apparently I'M

were torn to shreds. Frutos repeated the

woman. he nimbly sprang aside before the
bull could bear down OH him, and just es-
capped terrible horn-trust. Six bulls in
all were let loose during the afternoon. The
wOmen's performances were great failures,
and it is to be hoped that through motives
of humanity these shows may be at least
confined to men, if they are to be continued
at Mines,
SeashOre and Country Dresses.
White canvas dresses for midsummer
have large cross bars of blue or scarlet
made of thick woods like English crewels
passed in and out of the canvas meshes.
These are made up with most graceful
jackets, that have pleated shirt fronts.
gathered short sleeves, and belt in front
OF red or blue English morocco fastened by
buckle. The shirt blouse fronts are of
plain white canvas with box pleat in the
middle, stitched near each edge with
feather stitching in red or blue; the broad
sailor collar and the straight waist bands of
the shirt sleeves are similarly stitched, and
the pleating at the foot is also white, with
this feathery vine for finish.
For the most expensive white costumes
there are some new silk warp materials of
fine quality, and there is this to be said in
commentator of them, that having a
peculiar smooth finish. they have lovely
half-lustre that makes them very effective
in combination with other materials, and
also keeps them fresh for a longer time
than it is generally given to white dresses
to remain unsOiled.
Clairette cloth is smooth fabric that
forms stately folds. has lustre-like surface.
and combines well with velvet and lace. and
is especially becoming to matrons who like
to wear a white dress. even upon cool
day in summer.
Feather cloth is lovely material. lighter
than clairette, and is capable of soft, grace
full drapery. This combines charlningly
with satin or surah, and is very effective
with white MORE.
Another entirely new fabric is called
snowflake" The surface has crape-like
effect, showing little glittering points that
are very attractive, and this is so woven in
the goods that any amount of dampness
will not distroy it. This also combines
we'll with velvet and milliners have seized
upon it as a most graceful accessory to their
stock of supplies
Convent and gypsy cloth, both of which
are also seen in the new black fabrics are
lighter material. showing canvass weave,
with simmer of silk in its open meshes.
Gypsy cloth fabrics come in the pure
white and the cream white shades, and
when they are soiled they will dye most
beautiful black. Henrietta cloths, which
heretofore have been seen exclusively in
black, are this season introduced in cream
white, and are very effective.
AS for the white wool dresses. they are
very well where one is not dependent upon
an outside laundress, and can have the cos
tunes nicely done up by the home servant
who superintends that department. But for
the seaside or country they are usually a
'snare and delusion," as it becomes diff
cult matter to have them ''gotten up" prop
erly.
If one wants white wash dresses, nothing
is better than the ''crazy cloths" or seer
suckers. which have only to be washed.
dried, shaken out and put on again. They
really make one quite independent of the
laundress.
