Bingham and as the variation in stripes
and plaids is somewhat limited, there is
little risk in purchasing it in the latter
part of the season even if it is not desired
to make up the goods. If, however, one
wishes to wear the gown, this season 1t is
prettily made with three deep founces
very little fulled, and a zouave that is
pleated little about the armholes, worn
with tucked chemisette and long csleeves,
the sleeves and chemisette being often
made of silk, which seems an odd lnnova-
ton to those who still regard cotton dresses
as made to be Numbered.
The blouse waist that is so deservedly
popular affords an opportunity for remnant
using. There is nothing more gratefully
suggestive OF comfort than loose belted
waist of this white material. Two yards of
null and three or four of lace or embroidery
to be used in frills will make one of the
most stylish additions to the toilet. The
blouse should be moderately full on the
shoulder with V neck and wide turn
over square end collar the fullness brought
into the belt, which comes to point in front
and laps to the left, the front trimmed from
neck to belt with a jabot of lace. The
sleeves are slightly full, and gathered in
loose band at the wrist, the fullness at the
top gathered into knot at the shoulder
seam and apparently held in place by a
bow of ribbon, the lace from this being
sewed on plain along the middle OF the
sleeve and continued down to the wrist
band where it falls over the hand in frill
Cheviots are considered quite the thing
for an outing suit and are fashionably made
with PLAN skirt and hem, blouse waist
with an eton jacket having leg o'mutton
sleeves The blouse waist worn under
meath is usually of plain color with knife
pleated ruffile around the neck and down
the front, and is girded in with q pointed
belt of the striped cheviot.
When it comes to frilis for throat and
wrists there is nothing now quite so chic as
chiffen. There is hardly a blouse or bodice
without itr its tilmy prettinessS oftens any
complexion, neither is its use confined to
frills, but it is frequently seen with open
Jackets tied in huge bows at the throat with
the ends tucked under the waistband.
The beautiful wash silks are sold at such
surprisingly low prices that they have in
great degree taken the place of zephyr
ginghams. batistes and fancy lawns for
morning wear, as they cost but very little
more by the yard than genuine French
ginghams, etc. Dresses of these silks are
simply made, with belted waist and Slightly
gored skirt, with full back, or with
sheath skirt and pointed bodice. Little
trimming is used, and generally the garni-
ture is merely skirt founce and bodice
frill of the silk itself.

CHAT on FASHION.

During the ascendency of Sirius the DOM
mating wish is to find the better way for
keeping cool, and any desire to consult the
latest fashion journal is secondary to that
of coveting IA shady cool retreat, ham
mock, a palmetto fan and literature in its
lightcSt form.
This is the theoretical view, but in reality
do women ever stop shopping and dress
making? With an activity, born it may be
of desperation, merchants everywhere are
spreading temptation in women's way, and
as the bargains allure, nothing but an abso-
lutte vacuum in the pocketbook can restrain
the ordinary shopper from appropriatlng
some of the bargains that are offered.
Neither is this SO much a want of economy
whether in wash goods or other, if the fig
ures are not conspicuous and the colors
glaring, are always pretty, and in plain
material, house linen and staples there can
be no mistake. Maxims, such as, 'sNever
buy thing because it is cheap" may be
of common sense which would never en-
courage such purchases as a door
plate, that might be useful if the
buyer should happen to become a widow
and form second union with Mr.. Thomp-
son, spelled with ''p."
There is nothing more tempting than that
remnant counter, where are to be picked up
so many bits of pretty embroidery and lace.
One may buy these with the assurance of
always finding place where they will fit.
There are visions of pretty lingerie to be
fashioned by skillful fingers, yokes and
fronts of bodices, and no end of skirts for
the wee ones that are made beautiful by
bargains in lace and embroidery.
Embroidered robes are still worn, and
usually they are woven so as to have the
skirt made up the long way and with one
seam; when they are lifted they show the
short silk under-petticoat, for now that
dresses are so long as to be everywhere and
always, lifted, it naturally follows that one
skirt is enough to be responsible to, and so
the foundation skirt disappears.
In cotton dresses there can be also found

EXQUISITE NEW DRAPERlES.
Choice Coloring in Inexpensive Chintzes

Choice Coloring in inexpensive Chintzes,
Cretonnes and Stamped Velvet.
In the handsomer damasks, broche tap
estries and brocatelles, it is a question
whether the exquisite tints noticeable in
some weaves were ever before accomplished.
Here is damask, the background of SHIN
mering gray with a blue tinge glinting
through it. Metal tones of copper, of silver,
and of gold, the first deepening almost to
red, all play part in the floral design
which almost covers the background.
Others are of a tearose color with metal
effects; of "dracena" "a vegetable green.
with gold and bronze touches and of Mersey
blue, embellished in silver. In the damasks
Che tones most in favor are delicate and in
distinct.
Broche tapestry reveals brighter tints in
floral designs, as do also a few of the bro
catelles.
Perhaps one of the most surprising fea-
lures just now is the assortment of Gre
tonnes and the more inexpensive stamped
velvets, designed especially for country
houses. Choice in coloring and design. al
most as artistic posi- bilities exist, by their
aid, as in the richer materials. Floral de-
signs are to the fore, and, in addition to
the allOver pattern, Is a separate width
composed of a double border incorporating
the same designs.
Chintz Of every hue and of lovely pat
terning will also play an important part in
the hangings for country dwellings.
The Decorator and Furnisher, from which
the above notes are CLEANED, says also that
If we are to be in style we no longer cover
every part of the rooms with carpet; we
use rugs and parquet flooring in all the
corners and inches where the square or
rectangular piece of carpet cannot reach.
What a saving this is, too. over the old
fashioned style The neatest thing in car
peting is to have perfect square or rec
tangular carpet and then all spaces not COW
cred with this may be left bare or partly
concealed from view by rugs. The most
effective way is to have the woodwork in
laid and then beautiful mat made to cover
only part of the floor. The contrast is
very beautiful

will often answer the purpose or mix half
a wineglassful of Fuller's earth and the

good. Stains Of grease on marble are more

Fine Stays.

A great many stays are now made in
brocade and satin, and a new stuff is the
silk coutille. Very little patterns are best
in the brocade, and the petticoat should be
made to match. They are only intrusted
to the very best hands, and great care
should be taken In wearing They need
silk bands to dresses. and petticoat bodice
should be worn over them.

door games and exercises, a costume suited
to the sport is necessary. Wetake pleasure,
therefore, in presenting models for lawn
tennis dress, cycling costume and some
thing new in the way of riding habit.
The tennis dress depicted in the cut is in
ecru 1annelet, spotted with garnet. The
GALLON which trims the costume. also the
plated yoke, matches in color the garnet
spots. The hat is of ecru straw, with gar
niture composed of bows of garnet colored
ribbon.
The cycling costume shown in the same
cut includes skirt in gray cheviot, encir-
cled with two rows of dark gray braid.
The bodice is in blue stockinet and is
finished with rundown collar, lapels
and deep cuffs. The blouse worn beneath
this is also in stockinet. A wide silk
necktie and jockey cap of gray are worn
with this costume
English riding habits have undergone
some slight alterations The bodices are
cut considerably longer this season than
they were last A new model seen had a
jaunty open fronted coat bodice fastened
with one button 1t was worn with a
a bodice fashioned on much the same lines
as mans dresscoat.
In the second cut is shown French rid
ing habit the bodice of which is quite new
in cut. This habit is in brown cloth; the
waistcoat is Of pale blue cambria. The
gray hat is finished with twist of rust
brown gauze. A jockey neektie is worn
with this habit, which is fastened with gilt
buttons.
Some of the river dresses have nautical
decoratioDs-ap anchor, a life buoy. or a
pair of oars embroidered on the corners of
the skirt. Others are outlined with silk or
gold cord and made quite plainly. A
gown of diagonal blue serge, suitable for
rowing, punting or playing tennis in, is
built on rather novel lines. 1t has no lin
ing, and is suspended from the shoulders by
means of stout braces fastened to Swiss
belt. The bodice is of striped silk and
fashioned like blouse. Corded materials
and materials with patterns are very much

RAILROAD TAXATION IN WASH.
INGTON. le5

The Whitman county, Wash, assessor
has fixed the rate OF assessment of the
various railroads running through that
county at $4,000, irrespective of the
cost of construction. The Northern Pa
cific has asked the commissioners to re-
duce the rate to $500 a mile and the
Union Pacific is willing to be assessed at
$1,000. The commissioners have stoutly
refused to admit the reduction asked.
The Union Pacific lines are said to be
mortgaged for $50, 900 mile. The COM
missioners hold that If the road is worth
100000 mile to mortgage, even on
bonds at 63 cents on the dollar, which
would make 19.500 mile, cash, the
road ought to surely stand taxation on a
value of SIC, 900. They further hold that
if the Union Pacific can guarantee per
cent to the o. r. & n. Co. there surely
must De an earning capacity in the road
of Is per cent. on $4,000 which would
place them on fair footing with the
granger. This assessment is believed to
be prompted by spirit of retaliation
for the neglect of the railroads to reduce
freight rates to the extent which the
Vetoed Wasson bill prescribed and be-
cause it is the only way the farmers can
get even with the railroad companies for
having to pay excessive freight charges.

Farmers should endeavor to avoid
holding their wheat too loug. It is all
right to wait for good prices, especially
thissyear, but even if the price reaches
81 per bushel, clear of sacks, some un-
fortunate people will wait just little
too long. 1t is always best to sell on a
rising market, and it can't always move
upward. Great discernment is, needed
in this matter, and the situation in
Liverpool, rather than in Chicago,
should always be the farmers guide.
Supply and demand regulate genuine
values in the markets of the world, and
artificial prices, caused by manipulation
on change, are never certain.
