THE GREAT HURRICANE.
latest Details of the Loss of Life and
Property.


The calamity that devastated Charles
ton and Savannah has continually
|grown in magnitude. Reports from
|the Sea Islands, near Charleston, say
that bodies are still being found, but,
lit being seven days since the storm,
they are not to be identified. They are
quickly placed in the trenches and
covered with earth and an entry made
by the Coroner. This tally, for it can
scarcely be called record, now foots
Iup close to 500 as the number of lives
lost in South Carolina. The loss of
property cannot be well estimated.
THE loss Of the rice crop is close upon
ISL, 100000. The loss upon sea island
cotton is estimated at 100000. The
losses sustained by the railroads ana
the telegraph and telephone companies
and the great phosphate industry were
ormouS. Leave all of these out Of
sideration. however, and take those
individual properties, such as dwell

Tho Creole,

A creole, strictly speaking, is any
person born in this country or the
West Indies of European ancestors
also any person born in or near the
tropics, and this is the sense in which
the word is usually employed The use
of the word, however, has been by
some restricted first to children Of for
eign parents born in Louisiana, and,
second, to children of Spanish or
French parents born in Louisiana, and
then in the North the word has been
perverted so that it is believed to i'm
ply some strain of negro blood In a
person to whom it is applied. It does
not imply anything Of the sort.-New

needs to be told that heretofore the
last thing shoelaces have been known to
do has been to remain tied. Every male
reader of the New York Sun has more
than n fallen over a schoolgirl who
has suddenly stopped on the sidewalk to
tie a shoe.
This young shoe clerk has found the
way-at least he has been making the
way publicly known-so that hereafter
men and women may buy shoes with
the consciousness that they can pursue
their chosen vocation without frequent
and annoying Interruptions that consti-
tute a horrible slavery to their shoe
laces. This clerk shows that all that is
necessary is to tie a double bowknot in
the same way that everybody does, COM
plotting the operation up to the very last
point of drawing the knot tight against
the shoe. Before doing that and finish
ing the job he bringsin his clinching and
perfecting touch. It is done by merely
bending one of the loops of the bow I'M
der the knot and then pulling the knot
tight by taking hold of each loop and
pulling.
The illustration shows all that is new
in the clever unloosabie knot. When
tie reader ties his shoelaces and has the
bowknot completed, he will notice a
space or opening between the laces where
they come up from the shoe to meet at
the knot. Into and through that space
he must put one of the loop ends of the
knot. He merely takes hold of one loop,
bends it under the knot, pushes it
through the opening between the knot
and the shoe and then pulls the knot
tight by pulling On the two loops in the
old fashioned way. If he does that, not
all the powers of darkness nor all the
cussedness of inanimate things will ever
be able to make that shoelace come un-
tied until he wants it to. When he wants
to unite it, he will do SO as easily as he
ever united any shoelace. A pull on the
tag end of the laces, and the thing is
done,

nerva, equal to. the emergency, in full
panoply. Through thousands of years it
has scarcely changed from its first sim
plicity OF form. 1t was first worn alike
by man and woman. 1t is still so worn,
but by a curious differentiation of pima
fore. The woman's apron is the badge
Of. her domestic life; it is the evidence of
her economy, her neatness, Of those quail
tiles of helpmeet that ought to prove
most inspiring to man.
Nor are men insensible to the charms
Of pretty apron. For a woman to wear
her apron, a fancy thing of lace and
muslin, In the presence Of a man disat-
tached from her household is a compli-
ment to which q man can scarcely be in
sensible. 1t implies he has those virtues
and attributes that entitle him to a ia
miliar place by the freside, in the arbor
or around the evening lamp. On the
other hand, the sight Of a woman In a
spotless apron about her graceful avoca-
tons suggests the household goddess
which no steps should be lost In setting
up in some temple of home. /
When a man, on the other hand, de-
gires to be publicly impressive, he puts
on an apron and parades the streets.
Mems aprons are by no means so grace
full and interesting, although usually
more ornate than the aprons Of women.
They lack one important detail, the
apron strings. The stringso of a woman's
apron are scarcely less important than
the apron itself. Beau Brummel, tying
cravat, scarcely used more skill than a
girl in the tying Of her apron strings.

BLACK AND WHITE.

striped silk can be effectively trimmed
with figured gauze, guipure lace and a
little black satin. Another popular COM
bination is yellow and white or yellow
and black.
The most enticing gowns are those
made of the new cotton fabrics and
washable goods, Of which there is a
choice variety, from the sheerest lawn
to heavy linen. And these are the ap-
proved summer dress for both old and
young. When fashionably trimmed,
they are not exactly ready for the wash
tub, but they are supposed to endure for
one seaso and a easily be renovated

Immediately prompted to indulge in nu-
merous additions to the wardrobe, but a
little experience in buying silks, satins,
ribbons and laces for the trimming of
these fabrics leaves a foggy uncertainty
as to the economic result.
Linen dresses are mostly made with
the coats and skirts, but a delightful
change from this common style, with all
its comfortable advantages, may be
found in the description of a white linen
gown made with a plain skirt, trimmed
with one band of ecru Insertion below
the hips, a blouse bodice with a jabot
in front Of yellow surah, spotted with
black, and over this Is worn a short
white linen cape, full at the back, almost
straight over the shoulders, with revers
finished with ecru insertions.

and beautiful styles, which have only to
be seen to be admired and initiated.
Here are a few such:
The young person with a fairly clas-
steal outline al indulge in the coil mid
way between the top Of the head and the
nape of the neck. If the locks are waved
lightly back, and a few-a very few
loose curls lie upon the forehead and
cling about the neck, the effect is still
prettier.
The girl to whom styles quaint rather
than classical are becoming may try
the knot at the point where the top of
the head rolls into the back. Her front
and side hair must be very loosely gath
cred up, or the effect will be far from
pleasing.
When one wishes to look especially
stately and does not intend to attempt a
hat, the softly pulled coils high on the
top of the head are becoming. And for
every day wear, with the every day sail
or, the knot or braid in the back remains
the best possible couture.

of the silk gives it just a tender yellow
tone. The lace makes a frill and is fin
ished with a heading of white lace,
through which narrow yellow ribbon is
run. Large dogs ear bows of broad satin
ribbon are placed opposite one another
just midway Of the round, and the com
pleted triie stands upon a table that ia
all white and gold.
Of the same coloring and in fact upon
the same stand (see CUT is the hatpin
cushion, which is also round, but which
differs essentially from that designed
for ordinary pins. It is made within a
decorated china bowl, and is just deep
enough to hold the long pins upright
and big enough to allow of keeping q
goodly store. The special one alluded
to is gold and white, to suit the stand
and all the paraphernalia that it holds,
but it might be blue, pink, green or in
deed anything you may prefer. The Pc
c~uliarity of the bowl is the only essential
point, and to make the cushion fit it ex-
actly requires the same care and the
same method, whatever the color or de-
sign may be.
Select a pretty bowl about five or six
inches across; then cut a round of heavy
cardboard to fit it slightly below the
edge. Cover the cardboard loosely with
a large round Of cotton cloth exactly as
you would cover an old time button
mold, but leave it loose to allow of filling
Or stufing, as is the better word. Stuff
the cotton well with bran till you have

through a slit in the center, which you
must afterward close. Then cover with
either embroidered linen or with some
small figured silk. Paste round the in
ner edge of the bowl with glue or strong
-four paste, drop in the cushion, and
when it is dry Won will find it stuck fast.

that artificial light shall be or appear to

Fashion Declares For More Cushions, and
This Tells How to Make Them.
At first thought a pincushion is a pro-
sale thing. 1t is a highly necessary OBJ
ject, a receptacle for an essential ele-
ment of the toilet-mayhap q conven-
fence which we should none of us like to
be without. A search among the assort-
ment of today will reveal some fresh and
interesting facts and will show that the
cushion has developed out of the prosaic
into something genuinely fresh, genuine
ly dainty and genuinely attractive apart
from its obvious use.
There are almost as many varieties Of
cushions as there are pins, and the well
equipped oma has many sizes and
many sorts. She not only has her dress-
ing table well supplied and her hatnins,
her scarfpins, her stiekpins and her
plain everyday pins provided with fit
ting receptacles, but she has also her
pocket cushions, which she carries in her
shopping or handkerchief bag.
The very latest decree of fashion de-
clares lace and ribbons essential to true
elegance and prefers that the dressing
table cushions should be round. It as
serts that pocket cushions are to be the
vogue, and it makes suggestions for both
my lady's boudoir and for less aesthetic
mans W room, as well as for his pocket
cushion, which is really what it's name
implies. The round cushions of embroid-
cred linen and lace are nearly as dainty
as dainty can be, and the long, narrow,
rectangular ones made from the same or
similar materials are charming apart
from their usefulness, which is Of course
the first point to be borne IN mind.
A pretty model for a lady's use is
made of fine white Japanese linen, orr
entail lace and yellow satin ribbon. AS
described by the New York Herald, it is
large, measuring nine or ten inches in
diameter. It is well stuffed, as all cush-
