 To the woman wrestling with her wardrobe and trying to reconcile $50 allowance with $1 900 taste and neces- sity are sympathetically presented by the New York Sun these suggestions of the latest expressions of the modified modes:
 The first idea which may be utilized by the woman unfortunate enough to have to plan her own things is embodied in gown of black satin diagonally striped in inch wide wales, as the men call them, of glossy finish, with dull thread dividing them. Around the bot tom is a tiny ruffle of plain black satin, not quite two inches wide, with head ing. Over this is gathered a narrow ruf1ie of white lace in open meshes and sewed on just in the gathers of the satin rufae, showing the satin heading and a bit of the ruffie at the bottom.

THE MINE DISASTER.
Eighty-eIght Bodies Re1ovsred From c
 ThornhIlI CoIlIsry.


 ThornhnI CoIlIsry.
 LONDON, July 6-The rescusrS at the Thornhill mine brought ss bodies to the surface. Two men were brought up in an unconscious condition, but still breathing The physicians who had been around the pits mouth nearly all the time since the accident occurred at once took them in charge, and hopes arc entertained that they will recover. Six men, who had sustained no injury whatever. but who had been inn prisoned behind a huge mass of debris, were dug out. When they arrived at the mouth of the pit they were greeted in . most touching manner by their relatives and friends.
 No reason has been given for the explo- sion, but the conjecture Is that 1t was caused by carelessness on the part of one of the miners in opening his lamp.
 All hope for the others in the pit has been abandoned. The bodies of the vio- tims are being rapidly brought to the sur face. The scenes at the mouth of the pit as the bodies are brought up and recog- nized by the relatives and friends of the dead are most distressing.

A Pretty Bodice.

The round waisted bodice, whether plain, gathered or draped, is that most generally adopted, although short peaks are permitted when more edbming to the figure. Sleeves puffed up above the shoulders are now quite gone out of fash ion. They are still ample in the upper part, but come sloping down from the shoulders, draped to the elbow and then clinging to the wrists. This shape is more graceful than the balloon sleeve, which is still fashionable, but becoming only to very slight figures.

A race dress of pink and green spotted foulard is flounced to the belt, with ruff fes edged with green satin ribbon.

Other simpler gowns are made of these washable fab rics, with straight gathered skirts and spencer waists belted with ribbon, or shirred yokes edged with quillings of lace,
