the lace will fall continuously from the shout

A SUMMER EVENING GOWN.
Fashions and Rumors of Fashions Al
Waited Across Seas

Fashions and Rumors of Fashions Are
Waited Across Seas.
From the end Of Lent until the middle Of
June there is an eclipse of evening dress. Ball
gowns and the entire great class of ..decoletage"
are withdrawn from public comment and pub
lie eyes into the ateliers of the rulers of fashion,
there to be evolved anew for the wear and tear
Of midsummer exhibitions. When the great
hotels throw open their doors and the active
society woman hboriously leaves her winter
home to parade within them, 1t is permissible
to conjecture vaguely concerning the trend of
affairs in gauZe and lace and decollete corsaees.
And yet, this summer premature inquiries
are not rich in results. The question is not
"What are the really new styles?" but rather
(Which of the old styles will triumph" For
last winter was the arena of all epochs and all
countries mingling amicably like friends at
fancy ball; nothing absolutely novel can be
brought forth even by the genii Felix, Doucet
and Duboys. So We may hope for the prettiest
things we own and think twice before passing
the ugliest onward to our poor relations.

From the Kansas City Times

The mechanism of the leg and foot of a
chicken or other bird that roosts lie a marvel of
design said well-known taxidermist yester-
day. 1T often seems strange that bird will
sit on roost and sleep all night without falling
off, but the explanation is simple. The tendon
of the leg of bird that roosts is so arranged
that when the leg is bent at the knee the claws
are bound to contract and thus hold with a sort
of n death-grip the limb around which thew are
placed Put chickens feet on your wrist and
then make the bird sit down and you will have
practical illustration on your skin that Won
will remember for some time. By this singular
arrangement, seen only in such birds as roo,t.
they will rest comfortably and never think of
holding on, for it is impossible for them to let
go until they stand up"

tions, within three months of their adoption in

So when a correspondent sends to our own
particular confidential madame letter all
about the paramount founce its contents are
altogether too good to keep. Read what she
says:
"Flounces are q complete success; they
remedy with their waving frou frou that rigid
air about the skirt. Just now they are gath
cred, but the craze over here for accordion
plaits is going to bring in once more the plated
hounce. As yet we have used chiefly gauze and
crepe lisse. but before long all materials in
plaitable light silks, such taffeta and batiste,
like the gown or in extreme contrast, will be
used for simply enormous flounces."
Which means that we'll buy five or six Yards

our correspondent doesn't hint. At any rate
it is in a fever Of activity now. Black frocks
with white ruffies are the-but that is another
story.
A symptom of the oncoming mode may be
discovered in a taut little gown Of surah
alternately striped in green and rose. One
founce, the lowest, is of solid green surah, the
other is Of solid rose. The skirt is scantier
than the first models by more than two yards.

pastor of the church in the next street and was
delighted to hear one week that by an exchange
he was to preach the next Sunday in her own

he thought the organ voluntary had lasted long
enough. This day the organist was anxious
that all should 60 well, and as the service was
about to begin she wrote a note intended solely
for the sections eyes. He took it, and in spite

this pretty house dress is cut V shaped in front

HOW TO DRAPE THE LACE.
Another way, and one Of the simplest Of the
many pretty ones, is to have just gathering in

give the required full effect at the tops of the
arms and yet not to interfere with the contour
Of the bust and waist. From this simple be-
ginning you may go on and on and off and off.
