1t would not be surprising if these

Large hats are not only worn for the
promenade on the beach or piazza, but
for the afternoon drive. One of the
newest models, shown in our cut, was
worn recently at Newport. 1t is made
of black Chantilly lace, with scarlet
velvet ribbon run through it, and the
cluster of tiamingo-colored feathers are
caught with knot of the velvet.
This same hat is made up in white

Worth and Pingat have made many

continue to be worn.
All buStleS are smaller, however, and
even casual observer can see that they
are declining in favor. 1t will be some
time before the entirely f1at-back dra-

writes Madge in London Truth. With the
exception OF a terrific gown in crushed
strawberry and one OF two very appal-
ling green's, the gowns were very good
indeed.
Among the best was cloth dress in a
tone ST color difficult to describe. 1t
had suggestion of olive in it, and for
the rest it was pale fawn. It's exquisite
simplicity was remarkable. There were
no folds: There was no fullness any
where. 1t fell about the beautiful shape
of its wearer as though it had grown
upon her. Relieved by touches of dark
green. it was an admirable gown.
Two sisters composed a charming
duet. Both wore black frocks, fitting
perfectly. One had sash of silver-gray
MORE, and similar material was gath
cred into the front of each shoulder
seam, SO that the folds met on the
bosom, where they disappeared under a
part of the black bodice, which laced
across over them. The collar and cuffs
were also in gray mOire, and the black
hat was trimmed with it, The other
sisters gown was precisely the same,
only substituting abSinthe green for
gray.
Another very good gown was black
silk trimmed with long bands of gold
and steel pasSementerie. 1t was worn
with small bonnet to match.
A most successful dress was in black
silk, with a few folds of white silk ap-
pearing down the back of the skirt. COW
cred with black lace. The edges of the
latter met in points upon the white, and
the folds came at either side of 1t. In
front there was similar arrangement,
and the bodice was entirely white silk
and black lace, showing a very unnat-
urally small waist to much advantage.
Another black lace gown over white
silk had a long sash of black piece vel
vet, plped with white. This piping was
ae artistic error, the straight white lines
of it looking thoroughly wrong where
all else was uncertain and unexpected.
Some very fresh and pretty fOulards
were worn. One, with a white satin
spot upon cream-coIored ground, was
I good. Another, with a gray spot on
/ white, was equally successful. / ad-
mired very much a China silk striped
with chene, the pale flowers on the lat
ter being exactly matched in the trim
mings of the bonnet.

lace looked poetic in big hat of trans
parent black lace with ciump of for

/ net was composed of black tulle, and
bordered round with real marguerites,
an aigrette of similar flowers rising in
front with rather startling sudden

The Disease That Kills Public Men.

''What disease carries off more public

''BrightS disease of the kidneys. A

spiced terrapin and heats his liver with
cold champagne. This was the cause of
Salmon p. Chase's taking off. He
might have lived to a ripe old age had he
stuck to the cold water temperance diet
of WaukeSha Springs. He went to Wau-
kesha few years before he died. when
he was in a bad way. BY eating oatmeal
and beefsteak and drinking pure water
he rapidly improved and soon regained
his old vigOr. He came back to Wash

same with Senator Anthony, OF Rhode

of Washington for nearly generation,

approaching middle age, although it is
scarcely more trying than pink.
A new tint called ''mOOnlight blue"
is used for even ng dresses. It's espe
cially exquisite in changeable silk, and
is almost pearlgray in tint, shading
toward a violet blue.
The importers of dress goods say that
hne caShmereS of one color are to be eX-
tenSively worn this fall, and are bringing
over large quantities in all of the new
shades of Gobelin blue, reseda, turtle
green, cat'S-eye, mauve and dock. The
cashmeres made up in Paris are not
trimmed at all, except with delicate
shocking, done with silk of contrast
ing color.
Some of the new toilets for walking
have pretty shoulder lapels of velvet
added over the gauZe or silk, which give
needed warmth. The sleeves are made
with puff at the shoulder, fine length
wise tucks to the elbow, another puff
and small cuff of the velvet, while the
vest front is shirred at the neck and
reaches to a point in front.
Fine white muslin and cambria skirts
are finished about the hem with a very
full ruffle OF embroidery or lace, which

worn by those who can afford them, are
finished in the same way, generally
with heavy Irish or Maltese lace.
Handsome undervests of silk webbing

of in front, and have short sleeves that
may be unlocked and taken off when
decOllete gowns are worn.

RUPTURED RELATIONS.

A bright little miss, who is visiting
relatives in Buffalo, was given nickel
by her aunt the other day to buy pea
nuts for herself and playmate, but she
chucked the money in her pocket and

Nothing could induce her to spend it,
and III order to discourage selfish feel

her pocket and servant sent to a store
to get the peanuts. The child was in

smaller ones for fastening the wastcoat.
Dlnner gowns for midsummer at the
watering places are made with short
skirts that escape the floor. or else with
demi-trains that lie on the floor only
few inches-nOt more than three or four
instead of the ten inches that were
formerly the fashion. Cream-white and
the clearer rOSe-White, with the deeper
rose tints, are the colorS most used for
these gowns. and the materials are
China silk, mOire and the new Vatican
brocades, with white laces.
The most stylish choice for low ties
this summer white linen duck, with
tips and scalloped bands of very glossy
patent leather or else of red Russia
leather. These are worn with black
stockings generally, though some
women of fashion have returned to
cream-white Balbriggan hose. Most of
the newest ties have tips OF vamps of
patent leather, and the uppers are of
Suede, either tan or black, as the whole
shoe of the glossy leather makes the
foot look too large, and the Suede
dimishes its apparent size. The toes
of shoes are becoming pointed again,
and the heels are a compromise be-
tween the low, English heel and the
French stilt.
The new gauZy blonde silk laces are
combined with white brocaded moire,
and little gold or silver is added at
the neck and sleeves OF these summer
dinner dresses for young matrons.
More youthful dresses are of China
Grape with draped bodice, half-long
fnll sleeves, wide empire sash, and either
straight bowling full skirts, or else many
loose full drapings. The gowns are
worn with very slight tOurneures, and
are short enough in front to disclose the
fanciful low slipper-wlth stockings to
match in c0lor--and quantity cut buck
les of gold, silver or Rhine stones The
long, undressed kid gloves are of rose
white and are worn more smoothly
drawn up over the arms.
The genuine Indian chuddah cloths,
with the zigzag weaving familiar in
shawls, are the choicest woollens seen
in shawls. They come in all the silver
gray shades, with sometimes wide
Selvage, which serves for trimming,
and are especially handsome in some
rare qualities found only in India
houses in the vert-de-gris and receda
shades. A model gray-green chuddah,
worn by tall, handsome brunette, has
long draperieS on the skirt and Tapped
front on the basque, with velvet collar
and revere of velvet that crosses the
front diagonally below plated vest of
sage-green faille. There are also new
copper tints in these fine India woods:
Suede shades and granite-blues. that are
much more gray than the familiar Gobe-
lin blue.

answer for most families. The dessert
is placed in the tin pail, then the tin is
put into the wooden pail and the ice
packed about it, all being covered with
cloth. Every half hour the mixture in
the smaller vessel is vigorously stirred
and the cover put on again, From two
to three hours is needed to freeze the
dessert thoroughly, and it must be eaten
as soon as served. None of the follow
ing recipes exceed in cost over 40 cents:
COFFEE ICE.
Take two ounces of good coffee and
crush the berries, then put in pint of
milk and a half pound of white sugar;
place on the stove in a coffee pot or a
saucepan and let it come to a boil; set
one side until it becomes cold, then
strain it on the yOll1s of four we'll
beaten eggs: put into a saucepan and
cook slowly for half hour Add a
little cream, about gill is sufficient;
put into the freezer and when solid
serve.
CINNAMON ICE.
Boil pint of milk and half pound of
sugar. When cold add six egg yolks
and boil for twenty minutes: let the
custard get cold, then add a teaspoon
full of powdered cinnamon and freeze.
Vanilla ice is made in the same way.
PEACH ICE.
This is delicious. Take a quart of
ripe peaches, peal and remove the pits
and crush in sieve. Add to the pulp
an equal weight in white sugar: mix
well, add a half pint of cream and
freeze solid. Apricot and banana
ices are made in the same way.

"a Duck Of q Bonnet"

Dressy little bonnets, with pointed
fronts and ribbons of gauze or velvet to

NAL calls and for church. They are
made of lace, gauze or some equally
light material, mounted on wire frames.
and are ornamented with pompons of
feathers, tiny humming- birds or metallic
bugs or butterflies mounted on spring
wires. The more airy and fairy-like
these bOnnetS the more fashionable are

One pretty affair. which was made to
be wofned with an afternoon dress of
primrose, yellow null and Valenciennes
