Lingerie.
irom Harper's Bazar.I ]

That most essentially feminine gar l ment, the chemise, is said by the sales
 woman to be more worn than it has been for years. It is made to serve for two garments, taking the place of the corset cover and of the short under- petticoat. There is nothing new in their construction, though they are made rather wider at the top than for merly, and have the effect of a baby waist when outside the corset. They have no sleeves, the arnholes being merely edged with lace or embroidery, quite narrow, and slightly gathered
 The hem at the foot is two inches deep. Round low necks are trimmed with a narrow fold of bias nainsook, through which ribbon is drawn, serving as a band, or else an inch band of beading and ribbon. Below this falls a full gathered bertha of lace or embroidery, or else two or three button-holes are wrought in the middle of the front, and a ribbon is passed through to draw the top down. The neck-bands and sleeve trimmings are attached usually by narrow beading. Revers Of embroi- dery edged with lace are turned over from the band of embroidery in three cornered pieces. Rows of lace inser- ton cross the bust in Greek folds on linen batiste chemises, and are orna- mented with ribbons. A simple fash ion is to scallop the neck neatly, then work button-holes lengthwise and in pairs an inch below and around the entire neck. Pass blue or pink baby ribbon through the button-holes to draw up the garment the proper size, and tie in a long-looped bow: A pretty edgipg of narrow lace could be sewed aong the scallops with slight fulness.

GOLD IN THE UIIL.


 If the world can wait long enough the gold difficulty will probably cure itself, and the time may even come when "gold men" will take the place now occupied by silver men. The re- cent demand for gold has led to an in- | creased production of it in various parts of the world, and attention is now di- rected to the gold fields of the South. The gold belt of the South comprises about ,OOO square miles of territory, extending from the Potomac river through the coast States and including a part of Alabama In colonial days and up to the discovery of gold in Cali fornia there was considerable gold pro- duced in the South. Recently the di- rector of the United States mint in- structed the chief assayer at Charlotte to collect the statistics of all the gold mines from Maryland to Alabama. The drawback to extensive and profitable gold production in that region has been that the largest and most valuable de- posits are as a rule below the water line, and are usually sulphurets or re- fractory ores that could be extracted only by the employment of expensive chemical processes and plants more costly than southern miners had the means to obtain. But of late years the chlorinating process has been used with very satisfactory results at one or two mines and it has been demonstrated that by it all these sulphurets can be proftably worked. This has encour- aged the McKlenbery Iron Company of Charlotte to put up at its works a complete custom plant for treating and milling the gold ores, whether free or refractory, for the test of ores In bulk and of concentrates in lots of 100 pounds or more. The ob- ject of this is to enable owners of mines of refractory ores to ascertain the actual results that can be realized at mine under ordinary conditions if supplied with suitable chlorination plant mine owner will thus be able to learn, at relatively trifling cost, exactly what the value of his ore is and have reliable data on which to offer his property for sale, or to de- termine if it will pay him to put up an operating plant. This is the first time the southern gold territory owners have had any such facilities afforded them, and yet there are scores of properties there whose ores assay much more per ton than many that have been worked profitably in Colorado and other west ern gold-producing States.
 The South needs some profitable gold mines. Cotton at five cents pound isn't a gold mine.

outline But, alas, the average woman does not understand the philosophy of ornament; she wears her side combs be- cause the other woman does and dons her ieweled ones chiefly to show that she has them.
 The accompanying picture Illustrates a far more important item of headwear than any kind of combs, round black plush hat whose brim is faced with small colored felt and whose low crown is encircled by a number of guipure points edged with narrow bands of zib- cline. At the left full aigrette is held to the brim by a bunch of very small black tips. The brm is turned up with two dahlias; one of violet velvet, the other clear sulphur yellow.
 Theater hats continue to be odd little combinations of which the beginning and the end cannot be seen. The idea now seems to be that the headdress shall be a series of detached portions. On the top of the head appears a spreading bow, perhaps; then down by the ears is a knot of flowers, while at the back of the head at either side there is a little fall of lace All these little detachments belong to the same "bon- net" but you do not see how they are held together. Indeed, some women really complete a bonnet effect by fast ening little knot of violets here or there that does not pertain to the bon net itself at all. FLORETTE.

He was ridiculous, but if some man with an income kills himself because he can't understand the law there will be some sense in his action.

Prince Henry of Orleans has been de- clared at Paris a perpetual minor. His father, the Due de Chartres, asked that Henry be placed under a guardianship. He won the case by default, as Prince Henry is now in Indo-China. The Prince has been in the habit of con tracting debts far in excess of his allowance. When he became of age he contracted debt of honor exceeding in amount whole years income of his father and mother.

FASHION NOTES.
panger That LIes h combs.

Danger That Lies in Combs.
 Everybody wears side combs and the most careful taste IS necessary totavoid vulgarity The correct comb for all but dress occasions is a real shell or amber made with fine teeth and very narrow heading. In other words, the comb should be planned to show as lit- tie as possible and not to attract atten- tion to itself. For dress occasions a comb with it's heading set in tiny rhine stones is in good taste and seems less extravagant than to use diamonds so carelessy. A few shell combs are shown with a heading of delicately wrought gold, or a lace work set with pearls. Such are beautiful, but should be reserved for dress occasion. The side. comb calls attention to the quality of the hair and the shape of the head Therefore, it is unwise to wear a comb that will show, unless the hair is glossy and of good color and the head of good

Japan has a banking house that has been in business without break for over 300 years. It began with Yechigo No Kami, an impoverished feudal noble of the province of Ise, who broke away from the traditions of his caste and went into the liquor trade, manufactur- ing sake from rice. One of his sons es- tablished a bank. which two centuries ago was removed to Tokio, the pres ent capital, and from the name of the principal at the time took the name, by which it is now known, of the Mitsui Bank Like the Rothschilds, the whole family is engaged in the business, a marked feature of which is that the cap- ital belongs to all in common, while no one member can claim 8 separate share

The Evangelist says that the largest cross in the world now stands in Drakes bay, North America. Three hundred and fourteen years ago the eel ebrated Sir Francis Drake landed in this bay, and his chaplain, Francis Fletcher by name, preached the very first Eng fish sermon every heard in that region. TO commemorate this event Bishop Nichols, of California, and the late George w. Childs caused a large stone cross to be erected on the spot, cliff standing 300 feet above the sea. The cross Is f1fty-seven feet high, of blue sandstone; several of the stones init are larger than the largest stone in the pyramid of Cheops. This splendid monument can be seen far and wide, and is literally sermon in stone.

Acetylene, the most powerful illumin- ant of the hydrocarbons, can now be produced on a. commercial scale, says Professor Lewes in a paper read before the Society of Arts. It is a colorless gas with an intensely penetrating smell resembling garlic, so that the smallest leakage would be quickly detected. Five cubic feet of the gas will give a light equal to 240 candles for an hour It is made by mixing forty parts by weight of finely ground chalk or lime with twenty-four parts by weight of any form of powdered carbon in an electric furnace and adding water; the product is lime and chalcic carbide, a pound of which will yield 58 cubic feet of acety- lene. The carbide can be made for $2O a ton; the gas would cost about $1.6O thousand feet, but its Illuminating pow CT would make it's cost equal to coal gas at 12 cents a thousand.
