The next sketch shows a pretty Bingham
dress worn b. fashionable young matron.
The material is inexpensive Bingham, in
pale blue and white stripes. The bodice has
only two seams, the shoulder and side, pro-
ducing the blouse effect, which Is so popu-
lar. The square yoke Is outlined by two
bands OF half-inch black velvet ribbon,
while three rows of the same trimming are
placed around the high stock The lower
band of velvet outlining the yoke forms a
heading for the deep Vandyke points. A
pretty feature of this design is the wide en-
pire girdle fastened at the back with bows
of velvet with long ends reaching to the
skirt hem. Another new arrangement Is
the skirt ruffle. which must take UP half
the skirt length and be headed by two rows
Of velvet trimming.
Checked Silks.
There is a positive rush for all sorts of
checked effects in silks, and some most
charming and unique combinations are dis
played, for example. pale yellow with bright
red. blue with primrose. orange and brown.
dark with light blue, and green with violet
or red. Sometimes stripe of pale violet or
heliotrope shows a touch Of fawn color. or
deep brown, with wavy figure in black
crossing these stripes.
Most popular of these, however, are the
black and white, and brown and white
while two shades of green and two shades
OF violet are regarded with almost equal
favor.
Fashion Notes.
Any style of feminine waistcoat has, be-
low its fat square collar. a scarf-like ar
rargement. with bows and deep ends. In
color these little accessories are usually DEL
icate or bright, the intermediate stages
being relegated to the sterner sex.
There are extremely broad shoulder ruff
fes at the top of some OF the waists most
worn, while others have lately assumed a
much more simple appearance from smaller
rutfles extending much less over the tops
of the large leg-o'-mutton or balloon sleeves
universally adopted.
The great amount Of material which the
fashionable modiste insists is necessary for
the present style OF sleeve is explained by
the fact that quite frequently the sleeves
are made double.
1t has become fashionable to wear lawn
tennis and outing shoes for general
Walking purposes, and this has again made
popular russell and white canvas shoes
The shape OF the russell shoe brings 1t up
very high on the instep. and is laced
For a dressy. fancy shoe style is shown
which has a strap across the instep Of silk
orked with gold thread. The toe Of this
dainty conceit is also lightly embroidered
with gold. B. V. K

NO"
DO you believe that q dead man can
bleed?"
No"
We'll. II you will permit me. I will try an
experiment with you and see II you bleed or
not" The patient gave his consent. the
doctor whipped out his scalpel and drew a
little blood. There" he said, you see that
you bleed; that proves that you are not
dead"
Not at all" the patient instantly replied.
That only proves that dead men can
bleed"

One little girl of my acquaintance, who
has several brothers, when she goes away
for her summer holiday in the country
wears trousers and blouse waists exactly
like the boys, and finds great pleasure in
being clothed they are. But this will, of
course, only do for very small girls and it
is doubtful whether girls not blessed with
brothers will submit TO such treatment. The
second picture is very plain frock which
any little girl can be happy in.
