THERE is trepidation among the de- partment clerks, for the idea is out that the old stand and deliver style of "vol- untary" campaign contribution is to come in again, in order to raise a fund to help out Mckinley, the champion of what is called the most vicious piece of class legislature in our history, in his Ohio fight. It is well known that MT Clarkson, the new chairman of the re- publican national executive committee, is what is known as practical politi- cian." and his frequent conferences with Secretary Foster, who belongs to the same school, and others high in the de- partments, has started the rumor that the boys, and the girls too, will soon be given a very plain hint that voluntary subscriptions to the Mckinley campaign fund willbe acceptable and in order.

THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.

THUS far an aggregate of $2,eo5, ,O00 has been appropriated by twenty-nine states for representation at the worlds fair.
 IT Is probable that the cost of the Illinois state building will be reduced from the original estimate of S400, 900 to '$25O, GOO. by the use of staff instead Of stone.
 H. c. PAYNE, special commissioner to Mexico, says that country will probably appropriate at the start $750, 1000 for the representation at tho exposition, and that it will most likely increase the amount to g., 900, 900 later on. MINISTER PHELPS has hopes of in ducing Baron Krupp to exhibit some of his immense guns at the exposition. Baron Krupp hesitates, for, he says, it will cost him S25o, 1000 to make an ex- hibit creditable to his establishment.

Knd with one seam; when they arc lifted, they show the short silk under peticoat, for now that dresses are so long as to be everywhere and always lifted 1t naturally follows that one skirt is enough to be responsible to, and so the foundation skirt disappears. This of course Is to the advantage of the petit coat, which shows itself boldly in pink, amber, blue or mauve with t1ounces of black Chantilly or Valenciennes.
 The cotton dresses one sees every day are interesting, and the evening dresses hops are interesting also. A gingham shot with blue and spotted with white is as characteristic of summer modes as any have seen in a number of days. The skirt has three deep founces with very little fullness in them; while the Zouave oddly plaited about the arm holes is lined with thin white silk, for in these curious days we consider silk none too good to line gingham. The tucked chemisette and the long sleeves are of silk also. For the trousseau of Miss Sallie Hargous, who is to be married at Newport shortly, there was ordered this week so simple thing as white foul ard sprfgged with fuchsias. It makes an extremely pretty summer frock. gathered at the waist with white silk gimp, frilling at the hips and frilled and gimp-edged at bottom.
 Another foulard has also white ground, but is spotted with black and sprigged with pink-tipped daisies. The bodice is drawn to the waist in plaits,
 but the ordinal feature of the dress is its festooned heading of pink and white ribbons about the hem.
 And now for one or two casino gowns. The feature that is most inter esting about evening dress at Newport this summer Is the largeness and the
 boldness of the leaf and flower bro cades. Dame Fashion and Flora are
 usually on very good terms with one
 another, but this year they are insep- arabic, and so one sees for example a heavy ivory colored stuff upon which have been thrown great ragged stalks of blue succory, or 8 greenish white brocade with a design of ferns or o1 chestnut branches in flowers. White point d'esprit will be used as trim ming for such dress, festooned often with black velvet ribbon.

whirled by me in the waltz perhaps a half hundred times, so that I ought to be able to be quite accurate about the black lace which draped the front of the skirt and sleeves, and about the bodice with its tuck ruff of pink silk edged with lace at the hips and its full, turned back collar of silk covered with lace and tapering to below the waist in most unusual fashion. Pink roses in knots of black lace were worn in the hair.

It seems to me often when looA about on any assemblage of women that 1t might not be bad thing for the woman who goes shopping to take in her pocketbook, along with her but tonhook and her memorandum and her extra hairpin, a table of colors, so ar ranged as to show her at glance how any hue will vary according to the light in which she may wear it.
 One sees blue everywhere this sea- son. Now the woman who wishes to buy and to wear blue to advantage should never forget that if she chooses the shade that most becomes her in any ordinarily lighted apartment she must count on its appearing more of violet blue in a room with less light, and tending toward turquoise if she wears 1t out of doors, The question for her to settle is, can she wear violet blue or turquoise, or is the fabric she is buying intended for such use that she can count upon Its being seen in an average light always?
 It was only yesterday morning that I happened to see a bright, vivacious looking girl buying what over the shop counter looked like parasol of scarlet chiffon. She opened it and held it above her head for her companions ap- proval, and against her clear brown skin the effect was charming. So her companion told her, I think, for she blushed and he was young man. It never occurred to her, and the young man fortunately might never have eyes to see it, that what was scarlet indoors would become out of doors more of a reddish brown. Now reddish brown would not in the least suit the vivacious young woman. To get the effect she wanted, that of scarlet in the sunlight, she needed to buy, if only she had known it, something that was . good red indoors.
 These changes of hue, according to changes of light, arc things that very few women study. You won't find one in twenty who knows, for example, that if you buy orange in an average light you must wear it as brown in twilight and as yellow in sunshine; or that if you 1 set your heart on a froclk of yellow green, you must ask yourself is 1t to be for walking dress, in which case 1t won't be yellow green at all but almost | yellow, or is it for wear in a dim parlor, I in which case it will have very little yellow in it, but will appear quite green.
 These things add to the difficulties of successful dressing. The red gown that

 Very pretty toilets arc seen at the
 summer luncheon of sheer black chiffon draped over silks of bright hues- A
 breakfast was served at twelve yester-
 day in honor of a young married wom- an just starting with her husband for 8
 tour about the world. The husband was not invited to the ladies break fast" however. The table decorations were the pink, bell-like wood orchids which arc the commonest and among the prettiest of the sorts that grow wild. They wore thrust deep in a cream-colored vase ip the middle of the table, and the vase itself was half bur- fed in ferns.
 The hostess wore orchid-pink silk, over which hung black chantilly net, the white skin showing through the misty shading at neck and arms. A pale gray-blue muslin was one of the toilets that graced the occasion;
 it had running through it line
 of deeper blue. About the bottom was 8 deep hounce with . blue beading and at the waist 8 blue | velvet corsage, through which was | thrust bunch of blue succory flowers. ! The grayish blue hat was trimmed with
 the same blossoms. A third costume was a most successful combination of l old rose and black, the skirt in founces ! of black mousseline de soie over old \ rose silk edged with very narrow black | ribbon; the waist in striped embroidery
 of the two colors, with wide black
 sash drawn through large jet buckle. l At bright little breakfast party the other day at which Mrs. Potter Palmer, just home from her trip across the At

 was a fine opportunity to study hats, which continue to be, as the summer progresses, well worth studying. Mrs. Palmer herself wore white chip with gold insertion, raised off the head by q
