| 6tarched front and high c0lSr, loose
silk shirts turned away negligently at
the neck were worn for a time with
charming effect. But the early days
of August brought so prompt a return
to high collars that it appeared as II
fashion was forcing the season, for
these close affairs might we'll have
been permitted t. await autumnal cool
ness.
With this small change there is no
accompanying decrease in the variety
of shapes which bodices and waists
take. There are all kinds; take your
pick OF those offered If you will or de-
wise something novel; II you can. That
is not very difficult thing to accom-
plish, for the permissible methods of
adornment are of great number. The
current trick of using big bows of sash
width ribbon for trimming i great
help, for one of these big, haring knots
may easily be so conspicuously placed
as to be the dominant feature of the
whole and to distract attention from
the fact that the remainder of the gar
ment is quite convent onal. Several
stylish methods OF using these bows
are shown in the accompanying pict-
ures. AS to the location of them,
there is no rule, so put them wherever
fancy uicIdtcS. lHoir eHuo may not
show at all. or may drop loosely to the
skirts hem and be left to wave about
breezily. The newest fancy in re-
gard to these long ends is to
drape them in some novel way,
and very jaunty effects arg thus
obtained. The most prominent feature
of the trimming on the simple street
gown of the initial sketch consists of
straps Of velvet which finish in a bow
in front. The material of this gown

there are deep epaulettes OF butter
lace, and under the edge OF the skirt
is tiny ruille OF pink satin piped with
black. The hat worn is q rough gray
straw, weighted with great white
MORE bows, and sharp in profile rises
pointed b'a k wing. There is no hap
hazard therein. More methodical
than que ss-work, too, was the planning
of the Cos tune in the neat illustration.
AL the elaboration comes upon the
bodice. which il of white silk crepe.
It is made with full draped front,
which fastens at the side and is fin
ished with a plain folded belt of the
same stuff. The straps over the
shoulders, as we'll as the spretty bows
that finish them, are of white silk rib
bon, and the standing CELLAR is COM
posed of wide, ribbon. The odd
sleeves have ample ,puffs OF crepe and
deep shirred cuiis OF the plain silk.
Satin may be substituted for straps,
collar and cuisao If desired. This
blouse may be worn with any skirt,
but the one sketched is white cloth.

fall styles will be characterized by
summers daintire n glance at the

The Germans Answer.

a good-hearted old German citizen Of
an Illinois town recently recei"ed tel
egram from a far-away Stale informing
him of the sudden death there Of a
friend whom he had known in his boy
hood days in the fatherland. The mes
sage read: Frederick died sudden Y
to-day. Answer.
The exact reason for the answer de-
sired by the distant sender of the tele-
gram was not apparent. The distance
was too great for the Illinois man to
think of jorrneying there to witness
the last sad rites at the grave; but the
message called for an answer, and the
messenger was given the usual in
structions to get an answer. The
white-haired man was visibly affected
by the news of the sudden death of
his friend. The tears came one by one
and trickled down over his wrinkled
face. However, in his sudden grief he
did not overlook the one last word.
With a TREMBLING hand he took the
pencil and wrote the reply. This was
his answer: mime Got! Ish dot So"

May Have to Pay for Her Presents.

An amusing case is to be tried in one
OF the courts OF Paris soon, in which
the most prominent figure is ex-Queen
Isabella of Spain. Il ward the end OF
1880, on the anniversary OF her birth,
her Majesty received in her hotel in
the Avenue Kleber, among other pres
ents, a beautiful basket of flowers
which came from the greenhouse of a
Nine. Lion.
A few days later Nine Lion went to
the palaee of the former Cueen and
demanded $50 francs a., the price OF
the basket OF flowers.
But" replied her Majesty, Il di not
order any flowers from you. You have
been the victim OF some mysterious
person." M
Getting no satisfaction at the time,
the dealer addressed q letter to the
Queen, in which was the following pas
sage:
Il have been the victim Of mysteri-
GUS person; but, in order to indemnify
myselfs4 appeal TO your amiability and
kind heartfor the 80 francs"
Her Majesty dill not ,deign to reply
to this note, and Mime. ion sent a
messenger to the palace who also re-
turned without sat sfaction.
Enraged at her failure, Nine. Lion
has entered suit in one of the civil
courts against Isabella de bourbon

florist alleges in her complaint that the

The Culture of Water Cress.

Water cress can only be grown in
Gear water, preferably in a clear run
ming stream. This valuable crop is
mostly grown in the broad, open
bitches of drained swamps made wide
for thi, purpose, and in which there is
q slow current of clear water. The
bottom should lie sandy, but not mud
dy. The bitches are usually six feet
wide. The seed is commonly sown by
mixing it into balls of mud. which are
dropped on the bottom and thus pre-
vent the seed from being carried away.
Or cuttings of the plants may be set
in the bottom two feet or so apart. and
will soon spread and fill the bitches.
The cress is cut for sale as soon a, the
spring growth is made and until the
plants flower in July, when the seed is
left to ripen and SOW itself. The tops
of the plants are cut with sheep
shears as they are he'd in lunches by
the left hand, and packed evenly in
baskets holding about q Ieck, usually
selling for 25 to 10 cents basket.

such devices are, they give q degree

they appear which no amount o. out

comes from prettlly lowered organ

worn about the neck, and the sleeves

San Francisco Teachers win Have to

There Is q pretty flutter among the
public school teachers OF san fran

of Education, signing lot OF certifi-
Gates recently, wa, struck with the
number of them bearing the diminu-
tives Maggie, Laisy, Essie, Elite, and
Bird Q. The last seemed to him the
worst OF all.
"Why, Just think OF it, said the edu-
Gator to reporter, the teacher who
signed herself Birdie is named Blanche.
Her name isn't Birdie at all. Now,
that isn't right or dignified. Then
there were Essies and Daisies and
Elites galore. don't think it is quite
the thing | spoke year ago to the
superintendent about this, but it seems
that the epidemic of pet names is
spreading again.

Hyde, he repeated slowly. Imagine
how that would sound! Freddie Hyde!
Why, it is prepo sterous. And yet we
see gray-haired women in the depart
ment signing themselves Gussie, Jen-
ME, Jessie. and Birdie"
Out of all of which has come a rue
prohibiting the use among the teachers
of pet names in official designation.
Investigation disclosed that one.third

school directory e diminutives An

She Would.

An Englishwoman relates rather a

could not write or read writing, and
one day she brought letter to me to
read it for her. 1t contained an offer
of marriage. / happened to know
that the writer was a deserving young
artisan, SO l said to her, Now, you
must consider this matter very seri-
ously, and il you like to come to me
when you have made up your mind, l
will write reply for you" A day or
two afterward / met the girl again,
and asked her IL she wanted me to an

all right" said the girl, tcoking radi-
ant and pie ased. "I've settled it. l an

made usually of chiffon or null, being
merely a long scarf and tied about
with ribbon at points to come just un-
der the ears or little below the shoul-

is tho right thing to have the stole
bring some new note of bright color
