leon.~ One beautiful gown of this just COM
plcted is worthy Of special mention. and 1T
MAJ be a model for many more. The skirt
is plain umbrella, with a pinked out rose
plating of the same silk as the dress, which
Is changeable taffeta IN blue and magenta.
There is another of these ~plaitings around
the skirt lust above the knees, which gives
it the appearance of a double skirt. The
waist is gathered to a very small point I'M
der a bit of Persian p-asscmenterie. The
upper part of the front of the waist is point
ed, and there is a half guimpeofP Persian, and
above that commences a series of fiat puffs
that fall like ruf1es, beginning at the. neck,
going three times around the back, but cut
awayi in front to about three inches infront
of the shoulder seam and then joining the
sleeves, which have large balloon caps COM
pletely covered with these pufs, There
are eight puffs from shoulder to bottom of
the cuff of the sleeve. A1togetherit is very
novel and fetching.
1 wonder if any one has noticed the time
of their passing-the frisettes, bangs and
fringes-for they are no more. Now there
are bits Of loose, stray curls, there are
waves and bandeaux, but the bangs, the
frizzes and all of hat family have disap-
pesred. And it is very sad but true. that
when the frizzes were gone the most OF the
hair OF which they were made was gone
too-burned and shriveled by the hot PEN
ellis and curling irons. b hair is now
dressed in the most naturally becoming
style. Some wear the hair in a Grecian
knot. with the front waved and a few nat
ural curls twining over the brow. Others
part the hair In the middle and comb it
straight back and twist it into q loose but
graceful knot. Others curl the front short
ends and bring the rest up to the top OF the
head and there twist it into from onetof four
round knots. The ladies can wear hllets OF
silver or gold, can set ornamented pins In
the hair at any angle or wear q Spanish
comb.
There is really no set fashion about the
dressing of the hair now. I saw Bah" at
the Press club fair recently with her dark
hair a mass Of waves and curls, with q
dainty donkey ear bow OF red ribbon.
The next night it was a blue n Natural
flowers are considered quite appropriate
this season. If the stem of q flower be
placed in water for q couple of our
and then dipped at the end into sealing
wax so that the moisture cannot escape, the
flower will keep fresh through a whole
evening, which is worth knowing when
flowers are SO dear and so unapproachable
for their beauty and suitability as orna-
ments for womaukind.
There are some queer melanges of colorz
seen this season in woinan's attire. Once

silk, and this and the jacket were exquis-
itely braided with fine gold cord. The
sleeves were loose bishop, finished with lace
and gold cord, and altogether it made a
chaste and elegant gown.
Just now is an excellent time for the
economically minded to buy their winter
woolens, as at the close of a season they
are marked down below the cost Of produc-
ton in the large houses that never like to
carry goods over. There are many standard
goods that can safely be bought, such as
cheviots, diagonals, mixtures and tweeds,
and these do not change from one season to
another, but it will not be advisable to pur-
chase any of the fancy weaves or shadow
serges, for there is a strong probability that
they will scarcely be seen in the fall.
Buying remnants of plain velvets and
silks in solid colors is good economy, but it
is not safe to get many if they are to lie by
for another season. Remnants of lace and
embroidery are safe purchases, but unless a
woman is very level headed she would do
well to keep away from the allurements OF
the bargain counter, though it is not SO bad
if one is buying for a child. Nearly all
children's dresses now require some com
bination, particularly for sleeves, and they
require a good bit Of material.
A very neat style of gown for a girl of from
10 to Is can be made of pale ecru cashmere
in three founces, each trimmed with three
narrow moss green velvet ribbons, with a
nanon belt of the same, with tasseled ends.
The waist is partly blouse Of ecru silk, and
the sleeves are of the same with caps and
pointed collar of the cashmere. Small
lengths of goods come in handy.
Another model frock for little ,girls is 0:
pale blue serge, plain skirt edged with
~crotcheted silk lace in the same shade as the
dress. The sleeves are dark blue velutina.
The collar matches the skirt, which buttons
all the way down.

RAINBOW SILK U

tine dance, wears it. The thin, silky stuff,
SO soft and light, seems to have imprisoned
all the colors of the rainbow, welded them
to the sunlight and then thrown a veil of
silver moonlight over all. And of this Loie
Fuller has made a rage in Paris, and this
same style, or caprice more truly, which
went for nothing while it was here, is now
considered the height of beauty when it
comes from Paris.
But it is pretty and dainty, and whether
simply gathered or accordion plated it
makeslovelyand ephemeral summer gowns,
and light as it is it is still very strong and
durable. At first 1t was seen only in plain
surface, with the rainbow shades inwoven,
but now it can be found with stamped or
woven borders, which, when made into ac-
Gordon plated founces, make it still love-
lier.
One dress just imported for the Newport
season has the bordering made int two 10
inch aounces, and aboveth them the skirt falls
with the same bordering. The waist is q
wonder and has the sleeves pulled out and
the waist draped so that it reminds one
of soap bubbles. This rainbow silk gauze
is not striped, but somehow has all the col
ors of the glorious bow of promise blended
in the fabric, and they show at unexpected
times and places, as the light happens to
strike. The gown of which am speaking
has triple gold passementerie on the cor
sage, which reaches from waist to neck,
and between them the gauze is pulled OF
course sach a material, being SO light, would
need to be made over a silk lining, but that
need not necessarily be O new one if it be of
a suitable color.
The beauty of the ch%angeable silks and
their remarkable cheapness have made them
the f~avorite for this season, though the fig
ured and plain body silks are just as much
seen. Still something makes n under
stand that the true favorite is the chame-

The choir consists of 80 men, and for
centuries it's music has been composed
by one Of its own members. Its Italian

pope's personal choir and only sings
when he oificiates at mass or on the
death of a cardinal.
1t is the oldest musical organization in
the world, dating back to the fourth cen
tury, when Pope Sylvester set up lschool
for training the voices of boys. For a
time all the churches in Rome were sup
piled from this school, and only the
best were retained for the pcpe's choir.
In the time Of Gregory the Great the
honor of membership was so highly re-
garded that persons OF most noble birth
contended eagerly for places. and many
of the choir went to take charge of the
music in the principal churches of other
countries After various changes the
number in the choir was fixed at 32 i'll

That was during the short period that

voices thus trained retain their sweet

of his voice almost to the last, and two

HISTORIC FORT HILL.

Calhoun's Old Home Now the site of an
agricultural College.
John Caldwell Calhoun is still IA pow
er in South Carolina, though 43 years
have passed since his death, and the
proposition to utilize his old home fo1
educational purposes excited all the poll
ticians in the state. Fort Hill, as the
highlanst estate was named, is in the
loveliest foothill region Of South Caro-
lina-that is. on Il terrace of the Blue
Ridge and on the northwestern border
of the state. 1t is about two miles from
the Richmond and Danyille railroad.
The summer climate is remarkably cool
for that latitude, and the district is
among the most healthful in the world.
Calhoun was born in Abbeyille dis
trict March IS, 1852, and died in Wash
ington city March 81, 1850, but his home
during his working life was at Fort Hill:
and there We're written nearly all his
philosophical and well considered works.
Thomas G. ClelnHon became owner Of
the place by marriage with Calhouns
daughter. He was at one time charge
