He was apparently we'll broken, and

persons from the country, were in the
city, the result of rain, SO much that
they couldn't work their crops. The fire.
quent rains of the past few weeks have
done and are still doing great damage to
the farmer. The peach crop will be al

have been even too much for the water

WHAT'S the Use to Talk This Way?


Said q gentleman to number of per-
sons who were near him and which con-
versation we overhead, a few Sundays
ago: "Two ladies were returning from
church and the sole topic of their CONVEX
sation was the singing of the choir One
singer was praised and another criticised,
and if we had not known they had been
to church, we would have concluded
that they had been attending an opera.
It is not only the singing that is talked
about on the way from church, it is often
the weather, the bonnets, the dresses.
The indulgence of such frivolous talk,
which on Sunday is doubly wrong and
sinful, is the best way satan could devise
for effacing the effects of a good sermon,

DRESS DRIFT
[. P. JERMAN, JR.

For the Society Ladies of Dawson.
Black and cream muslin dresses will
be very fashionable this summer, printed
with spotted figure.
There are new fans of chicken feathers
set crosswise and fans with puffs of silk
across the top painted with butterflies
There are very pretty cotton Bedford
cords, and they make very handsome
gowns, but when they are washed it must
be remembered that they require the very
least starch and to be ironed on the
wrong side, SO as to show up the beauty
of the ribbed effect.
The tints most effective in the new
summer cambrics ale Sevres blue, pale
green and mauve. The choice patterns
are the Pompadour, Dubarry and the
Marie Antoinette design.
ALI white costumes are to be more
popular this season than ever.
One of the favorite tints of chiffon
made use of is heliotrope.
Low-neeked Innings are again used in
thin muslins, the high outside being of
shirred rows Of batists forming yoke,
or else guipure. Four pufs an inch
wide, divided by double rows of shirring
passing around the shoulders, make a
pretty batiste yoke. The waist is gath
cred to this yoke with y slight erect
ruf9ie, and is shirred at the waist line in
back and front.
Most becoming bonnets have soft
crowns of black velvet, with bands of
metal ffligree or embroidery.

that she was dressed in blue, and
concluding that she vas a dummy
