GOWNS FOR GARDEN PARTIES.
Bright-CoIored Dresses to Wear on the
Lawn.

Lawn.
Among the gowns prepared for the
coming summers garden parties and
other outdoor gatherings are some as
simple as il there were no prevailing
mania for furbelows One, for exam
pie, has full plain skirt of white wool
canvas with fine silk stripe. The
heliotrope silk yoke of the bodice is
covered with cream-colored guipure
lace. which also forms sleeve wings and
full bertha. A long. wide sash of soft
heliOtrope silk is knot 4 at one side
and falls to the edge of the skirt.
One of the pleasant things about life
in the summer -ime is that the bright
colors people aEe now wearing look so
suitable and pretty on the grass and
under the trees. A little crepon cos
tune. meant to be so worn. has two in
sertions of cream-colored guipure in
the gored skirt and jaclet-shaped
pieces of the same lace upon the cor
sage. Another garden party-dress is
of shot greer and white silk with a
great deal of deep green-velvet ribbon.
The enormous mutton-leg sleeves are
gathered below the elbow into three
puffS. A darker dress than any of these
is of deep blue bengaline with a chem
isette of white surah and extremely full
sleeve wings of white lace.
Al the old-fashioned striped chine
and changeable silks, which have been
restored to use, seem particularly well
adapted for summer afternoon wear,
and a group of this seasons costumes,
white and pold white and blue white
and mauve, or white and green, look as
if copied from old. pictures of French
garden parties.-Chicago Tribune.

The opening of the Japanese exhibit
in the Palace of Fine Arts few days
ago drew great many people, who
went away delighted as well as aston
ished at what they saw.
The entrance TO the exhibit is guarded
on one side by great bronze eagle, on
the other by bronze cast of protect
ing deity. A bas-relief of dragons in
clouds. done in bronze, stands just be-
yond, and near by is representation
of the Kasal1a pagoda, an exquisite
piece of carving. At the entrance
hangs magnificent tapestry of sillSen
chrysanthemums, and a painting of
carps by Tulkok, greatest of Japanese
artists
just beyond the silken hangings of
the entrance is a huge gorilla carved in
cherry wood. Cases containing carv-
ings in ivory and wood of favorite
deities and heroes occupy the center of
the room, while the walls are hung
with tapestry and paintings on silk or
paper.
The most noticeable pictures are
those of the sacred mountain Fuji-san.

table decoration is white and green. A
pretty centerpiece is a square of pale
green silk bordered with natural fern
leaves. upon which is placed a cut-glass
bowl of pale-green tint. This bowl

surface of this water fort small white
flowers and one or two small porce-

hyacinth are placed in the bowl. hav-

blooms to droop over the edge of the

JUNE'S FLORAL DISPLAY.

Programme for the Month.

Uncle John" Thorpe Provides a Fine
Programme for the Month.
jane is fine month for flowers as
as well as for weddings and will not
be ignored by Uncle John" Thorpe
and his assistants. During the latter
part of May the great flower beds about
the big greenhouses have blossomed
with a display of pansies and tulips
that have challenged the admiration of
observers.
This month the pansies will be in all
their glory. Tulips will be about out,
but there are many other flowers to
take their place. Peonies will be out
in the greatest profusion. The big red
and white blossoms will make the
flower beds about the greenhouses look
like natural carpets. On the wooded
island all the hardy Towering plants
will be in bloom and that will be the
prettiest spot in the fair grounds.
Roses will not be forgotten, nor will
they be missed in the floral display for
the month. The great variety of the
flower affords an opportunity for un-
commonly fine displays, and the chances
will be made the most of. Designs will
be worked out in them, and the display
will be literally acres of roses"
Rhododendrons are flowers of great
beauty and adaptibility for display
work, and they will be found by their
admirers in profusion. So will the
campanulas, pretty, bell-shaped blue
flowers. So far no particular displays
have been arranged for special days,
but later such plans will be matured.
All in all. the floral features for the
month of June will be unexcelled dur
ing the time of the fair. 1t will be the
month par excellence for lovers of
nature in flowers and foliage to go to

FRESH FISH.
How the Young Fry Are Hatched Out in
the Government Building.

How the Young Fry Are Hatched Out in
the Government Building.
You can see fish Matching by the mil
| lion in the northeast corner of the Gov
eminent building, where the fish COM
mission has its display. There are
myriads of yellow and pike perch
breaking out of their tiny globular ge-
latinous eggs there every day. Some
of them are fed to the Dig fish in the
aquariums and some are turned loose
in the lake. The process of the fish
hatchery seems simple enough, but the
commission people want il under
stood that it took long time to per-
feet it.
The impregnated eggs are brought
into the exhibit in big cans nearly every
day. They are put into glass jars and
slow currents of lake water at the nat
ural temperature are kept flowing
slowly through them. The eggs look
like mass of translucent jelly glob-
ules. One jar will contain as high as
$50. 900 perch eggs. 1t takes from TWEEN
ty days upward, according to tempera-
ture, for the eggs to hatch. Each fish
as it matches seems to consist of two
tiny black spots which are eyes and an
infinitesimal strip of gelatine, which is
the rest of the fish. They can all swim
though at great rate right from the
start, and as the young fry are drawn
off through the escape tubes of the jars
into watts that contain a million or more
exceedingly fresh fish they seem to be
always on the go.
OF the eggs that are being Matched
now, those of the pike perch, known
generally as ''wall-eyed pike" come
from Lake Erie. The yellow perch
eggs come from the aquarium. Within
a few days the commission expects to be
