Not every girl that wears a tabled
bodice knows that the very first record of
such an eccentricity of attire dates back TO
ancient Rome. Part of the arInor of Roman
soldiers. called the lorica, was originally
made of leather and had flaps of leather at
the edge.
About the newest wrinkle in shoes is the
use of white ties with white day costumes
at the resorts. They are laced ties of white
duck or heavy open-lace canvas, with mar
row bands of white suede kid up the open
ing, around the ankle, down the heel and
as pointed tip.
A rather uncommon way of arranging
lace fiouncings is to fest on fiounce four
yards long twice across the front of the

from the edge of the bodice at the back,
and its width is shirred on a ribbon along

falls over in blouse fashion, is finished with

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS.
Fancy Candlesticks FestOoued with Flow
ers-A Pink Crepe Shade.


Fancy candlestiCks or lamps, festooned
with violets, roses or sprays of lilac, tied
with satin ribbon, is the latest fashion in
table decoration, which is capable Of in
finite variation, being governed by the host
ess' individual taste.
A table decorated in good form is poetic
confusion of porcelain figures and flowers.
At the ends and in the center stand rare
vases filed with exotic blooms. A little
hammock woven of gold tiusel cord, sus-
pended over the center of the table. and
filed with fruit aud flowers artistically ar
ranged, has pretty effect. Decorator and
Furnisher, which is authority for the fore
going, tells also of pretty way to make an
inexpensive lamp shade. Take pink cheese
cloth, wet it thoroughly. and then. after it
has been doubled several times, twist it
until it doubles itself up in a knot. Secure
it from untwisting, and wipe it dry with
towel and put it away to dry. 1t will take
about ten days to dry it thoroughly, dur
ing which time it should not be disturbed.
On unrolling the cloth it will be found
beautifully creped, and lamp shade can
be made in the same way as tissue paper,
by simply cutting hole for the chimney
in the center OF the cloth. The top should
be arranged with high ruching, and
broad satin ribbon of exactly the same
shade fastening it. A fringe of soft lace
makes beautiful trimming and the ruche
at the top is also improved by a lace edging.

DEEP WATER.
A Vessel Drawing Seventeen Feet of Water
Crosses the Bar at Neiasco.
Deep Water Assured.


WACO, Tex. July 10.-Senator Richard
Coke received 4 telegram this evening from
w D. Lee at Velasco, mouth of the BrazOs.
informing him that a vessel drawing seven
teen feet of water had crossed the bar with
out trouble, and without tug, indicating
depth of eighteen feet This msures deep
water on the Texas coast. No vessel has
ever entered a Texas harbor drawing oTer
fourteen feet and j half. This depth of
water is the result of work by syndicate
in which Senator Farwell of Illinois is in
tie rested and which is working under Fed
eral supervision. The act of congress
granting Federal supervision, was en-
gineered through congress by Senator
Coke and Representative Grain of Texas
two years ago, and barely escaped the veto
of President Cleveland, who was skeptical
of the scheme. The prospects now are that
twenty feet of water will be secured.

Fashion writers are noting some little
charges in modes which give hint that
fashion is firing of some of the late fads.
OF these is the plain skirt. Gowns re-
Gently made by fashionable modistes show
the front length slightly raised and the
number of border fiounces increased-three
and four flounces instead of one-which
may presage the skirt covered with iounces.
while the broad fiounce around the bodice
gives hint of the double skirt of other days.
There is also 4 change going on in sleeves.
While width and shape of the sleeves do
not vary, the shoulder pun is made less
high, the puffiness being more downward.
The soft summer fabrics are the cause of
this change. The wide sleeve is not given
an inside support to keep it high, so that
the material falls down and Grapes by its

hint here to the home dressmaker may be
acceptable: If there is a liability of divorce
between waist and skirt, if the seams of
lining and outside are sewed separately
three inches from the belt, and the lining
has its band and the outer MATERIAL is sewed
to belt to be worn over the waist, there

In making lace skirts the width should be

Some of the prettiest bodices lap in front,
