There are black grounds with yellow daisies
wrought on them above Greciau or borders
in floral designs. There are pink grounds
with bewitchng little punches of forget
me-nots embroidered ON them. If these
airy, summary textures do not suit the buy-
er there are camclhair grenadines. One
particularly SNOWY one is worth telling
about. The texture is the gossamer stuff of
all handsome grenadines. 1t has the most
artistic wisps of yellow cancels hair, sport
ing like polka dots all over it. The effect of
these shaggy disks is really very pretty, al
though strikingly odd. The French batistes
are especially attractive too. Almost every
design in dress goods is u flower or varia-
ton of one. The hats, too, are to bloom and
blossom like veritable little garden FLATS.

We have no authority making special
mention of the dew point in Northern
Texas, but have merely given you our own
opinion with reference TO the matter, based
upon accepted scientific principles. The
dew point Is evidently considerably higher
at Fort Worth than at either Galveston or
New Orleans; that is, an earth temperature
merely low enough to give US medium
dew deposit at Fort Worth would make no
dew whatever at any of our coast towns.
We cannot see that its high dew point
could have any very marked influence upon
the climate Of region. 1t probably gives
dews oftener than they would appear with
a .Ow dew point The indication is that the
atmosphere is warmer at night than in the

get his foot out until the crew procured
hydraulic jacks and raised the engine.
Mr.. Meade's foot was badly bruised,

His escape from death was remarkable.
