competition in the manufactures that a
fraction Of a mile wouldn't empty we'll
filed portemOnnaie. At any rate, 80 cents
will buy n yard Of pretty patterned lace
I'm a fine texture. quite good enough,
thinks the woman Of fashion. TO heap
upon her summer silks. And forthwith
she purchases so much that II becomes
a question how to dispose Of it all. There
are four ways in which it has been done.
A straight skirt I'm pale blue. sprinkled
with violet crescents; from the knees fell
nounce of black Irish point; between
the round belt and the knee was a second
narrower flounce; q bodice entirely Of
lace. save for a pointed yoke Of blue;
tight blue sleeves We're doubly capped
with more hOunces. Another disposition
is made with panels Of white guipure
lace laid over a silk lining; the bodice is
simply blouse Of bright surah and over
dress Of lace tucked into a gay red sash.
The third dress was all Of red for
brunette beauty. \ panel Of red silk
showed between two plated lengths Of
lace from waist TO hem. overlapping mid
way The waist was silk swathed around
and around like an Indian dancers SASH
a square dec olletage was let into the
redness Of lace. which fell TO the waist
and hared bravely over the shoulder.
The fourth and last was organdie alter
mating its length with narrow stripes OF
imitation Nalenciennes The quaint baby
bodice was fashioned in the same labori-
Gus style and the loose sleeves revealed
white arms through their laces.

Kind Words From Major Drewry.

MISSIONER, VA, April q, 1898.
Editor Times:
have read your comments on Mr..
Todd's resolutions, as adopted by the
Commercial Exchange. and also your
reference TO the new steamer Pocahontas,
and the objects of the new company, as
published in your issue OF yesterday.
They are, in my opinion, well founded,
and go TO show that your paper is edited
by some one with brains and indepen-
dence. May 1t long live and prosper.
Yours truly.
A. H. DREWRY,
