NEW YORK FASHIONS.
What Stylish Women Will Wear During
the Midsummer Season.

It is rumored that the one-button
glove is on it way to popularity. Three
and four-button styles are already in
high favor, owing to the length of many
of the fashionable sleeves.
The new Russia-leather gloves are
highly pcrfumed; some of them are in
very bright reddish tan that is the nat
ural tint and is highly popular this sea-
son. French kid is coming in again,
though Suede is still more generally
worn. The new mouse color is very
''genteel" and goes well with nearly
every costume,
For ''half' mourning, lavender Suede
gloves with black points are prepared.
Puce is one of the new colors for stock
ings, BUTT Is by no means the aggressive
tint that formerly went by that name.
1t is now clear bright shade of hello
trope. 1t is found among the fine silk
stockings, many of which are dyed in
mouse color, tan, stem-green; golden.
brown and violet to match the gloves,
as it is fashionable to have these COR
respond III tone.
''Hammo elk" dresses designed for ele-
CANT wear on sultry, lazy afternoons are
announced. They are made with long
flowing Greek lines; they are steelless,
cushionless, half-fitting, but graceful
withal; having no look Of untidy loose
ness, and are made of all the soft pretty
crepalines, .challis, carmelites, and also
of China silk, foulard and surah.
The Spanish mantle is among the sur
prisingly lengthy list of light summer
wraps. 1t is considered particularly
stylish, and is to be worn with dressy
toilets of every description. 1t consists
OF fischu-shaped shouder-cape of real
lace in Spanish and Chantilly patterns
combined, with long scarf ends that
cross at the belt and fall low on the
dress skirt. TO many figures these are
much more graceful than the all-round
variety.
The handsome tweeds, English serges
and fine French cheviots are made great
use of in the formation of stylish and
useful traveling-suits for journeys by
land and sea. Many new and attractive
shades have this season been added to
the familiar dyes, and there are also
novel effects in stripes, bars, plaids in
refined color combinations and Vene'
tian-patterned borderings.
A very old fashion has been revived
In the cording of each seam of the bod
ice, and also the closely gored skirt. A
heavy cord goes round the bdttom Of the
skirt and up each seam. Silk generally
covers the cord. When the gown is OF
figured or striped fabric, tho cordine
corresponds with the flower or stripe in
shade. IN. Y. Evening Post.

A WONDERFUL FAMILY.
A Japanese Household in Which Many

A Japanese Househo old in Which Many
Generations are Represented.
"a thousand years in one household"
('hka sen-nen) is an old Japanese saying,
employed with reference to an event
which. in respect of extreme rarity, may
be classed with the sight of dead dom
key or tinker's funeral. The Hochi
Shimbun says that an instance may at
present be found in the household of a
merchant called Mizuma Gensuke, who
resides in Kanazawa, in the Saitama
district of Sado. The family consists Of
the following members: Great-great-
great-grand-papa Gengo Jagged 1907,
great-great-great-grand- mamma Toni

A Calico Kitchen sacuue.

All good house-keepers know the value

complete coat of mail; and then when
my work is finished l slip off the sacque
and apron, and presto l am dressed
again for the parlor or company, with so
little trouble. l would not be without
the sacque for many times the cost and
trouble OF making it.-Good Housekeep.

THE PENlTENTES.
sarbsrous Performances OF Fanatics In
New Mexico.


New Mexico.
The PenitenteS seem to new conner
III the country to be a strange order of
superstitious fanatics, the old flagellants
of the dark ages, who have come down
by some ecclesiastical legerdemain,
landing in this corner of the terrestrial
foot-stool. Their performances are a
touch of baptized barbarism clutching
at the skirts of this nineteenth century.
The horribleness of seeing them at work
flagellating themselves on Good Friday
is akin in the recollection to the heart
rending means of the wounded and
dying in terrible calamity. They COM
pose secret organization that is fast
dying out, and is not now sanctioned by
the dominant church, and the worst Of
their doings are supposed to take place
in their lodge rooms. They are seen to
outsiders only when marching in pro-
cession, carrying each rough wooden
cross, nearly heavy enough to crush
them under its weight Their backs are
usually bare, and as they stagger along
as best they can, weighted down by
their burdensome load in body and their
sins in mind, their brethren beat them
with clubs and prick them with cacti
till, in many instances, there isn't
an inch of the flesh that isn't
torn and bleeding. Not ihfrequently
they die from the effects of the terrible
punishment inflicted. doleful chant
ing, in which they specify the particular
sins they are trying to expiate, is con-
tinualy. kept up. And yet this very
class is usually composed of the rabble
clement of the community. Often, when
they get through their penances, they
go straight off and get drunk and run up
another score of evil deeds done in the
body greater than the last, They seem
to hold implicitly to the belief that
every sin committed must be paid for in
suffering, and the moro pain one en-
dures here, the less he will have here
after. These poor, deluded penitentoa
are not attempting any moral improve
ments. They are merely endeavoring
to shorten their stay in purgatory, and
horrid work they make of it. Any one
who was ever SO unfortunate as to be
locked into one of their lodges must
admit that feeling of uneasiness and
uncertainty crept over him while there.
Perchance dim light, as the scene may
be described, made awfully indistinct
and CHASTITY the rude form of Christ on
the cross; the men stretched out full
length on the ground, more like corpsec
than living beings, and the wretched
objects who piled the scourges on them
selves and the others, making the blood
squirt at every stroke, while the yells
walls and bowls were indescribably ter
rible.
But such barbarous practices will soor
have become obsolete in New Mexico
Even now it is only the well-informet
who can point out their hiding places
