gives 1t wonderful lightness and grace
The hat is Of white straw, with white gros-
grain ribbon loops, very wide ones, and
wreath Of pink crush roses, with two blood
red ones with foliage set directly on the
top. This costume would be seen from
afar, and its beautiful wearer singled out
from thousand.
Alsatian surah Is the name Of the new
cotton fabric. 1t is shown in dark blue,
light pink and buff, and dotted designs are
scattered over its surface or sometimes fig
ures. The material resembles drilling and
In its natural color would be called simply
that and nothing more. But It Is soft and
flexible and yet looks rich and stylish. OF
this are made numbers of outing suits,
and 1t will take very handsome trimming,
or 1t will look we'll untrimmed Jackets
are very frequently made to go with these
cotton suits and are unlined and for style
more than for any material comfort they
might afford. They are mostly short, much
sprung upon the hips and arranged to but
ton or to fly open. Large fat smoke pearl
buttons are oftenest seen.
Among the very few materials shown
this week 1 notice few fancy black suit
ings In orepon swivel serges and heavy
twill diagonals for fall. The first named
really presents all three weayes In one, and
the effect Is very fine There are several
new designs in black brilliantine mohair
and swivel mohair. There Is also fine
fast black henrietta sateen, which so close
ly resembles the best farmers satin that
any one would be deceived, and, when the
deception is so perfect at one-eighth of the
price, why In these days of swiftly chang
ing fashions Is 1t not better to take the
oheaperP There Is also line of new de-
signs In fancy swiss silks in stripes

For the present moment ladies are wear
ing white canvas low button shoes, made
with long pointed toes capped with white
kid, and with high French heels. Some
prefer the oxford ties In white canvas or
In blue canvas, light and dark blue. The
russell shoe will be worn up to October.
These have extremely stiff toes and com
mon sense heels. There are also russell
goat oxfords, brown Russia calf oxfords
and glaoe tans, all with low heels. These
all have perforated tips and are made with
as much ornamental stitching as the case
will admit Of. High shoes will be about
equally divided between those that lace
and those that button. Tan stockings
should be worn with russell shoes and
black ones with the white and black ties,

nent. And these trimmings are neat and
dainty, rather than snowy and comm 0n.
Very narrow shirred rufiles with French
hens, and often a Spanish heading, are
perhaps more often seen than anything
else. Lace set with the edge up or down
indifferently is often seen laid on smooth,
and narrow or wide braid straight or SER
pentine, Is also used. Then there are some
quaint and queer trimmings made by hand
of the same material as the Dress or
darker color. These are in form of puffs,
shells and double scallops, as well as mil
liners folds. Indeed some of the new
gowns now in course of construction are
nearly covered with these folds. The 9TH
or narrow manufactured trimmings are
marked by great neatness and flneness of
work Other gowns have wide plain bands
of silk or some other material often of rib
bed velutina, which makes rich and ele-
CANT garniture.
There was one gown of rich prune Ia
dies cloth trimmed in this way. The
skirt was full around the bottom and fit
ted closely over the hips. The waist was
partly of two or three shades Of heliotrope
ribbed velutina of extra rich quality and
palrty of the prune cloth. The upper por-
tion was of the velutina and the lower of
cloth, with sprung bertha of the cloth
lined with surah. The sleeves were in
gigot form. All around the bottom there
was a straight band Of velutina ton inches
Deep This gave the whole costume an
indescribable richness. 1 saw another
gown exactly like this, only that it was in
two shades of snuff brown, the cloth the
lighter and the velutina the darker
There are some very pleasing innova-
tions in the new gowns. One was made
of thick cheviot of two tones, one a dull
pale blue and the other pinkish drab.
Above the diagonal twill there was line
of fuzzy brown hair. The wales were very
wide. The skirt fitted over the hips as If
the wearer had grown into 1t, and around
the bottom there was narrow edging Of
shot silk In the form of gathered ruffle one
inch wide. The sleeves to this gown were
not so very large and had puffs over long
manches, which were edged with q ruffle
Of silk just like that at the bottom of the
skirt. The sleeves were of the same mate
rial as the skirt. The waist, however, was
different and was of wool brocade In blue,
white and drab and was made to fit like
jersey. None but perfect figure could
wear this kind Of a corsage with its sharp
little point at the waist The collar was
of the brocade and had a narrow silk ruffle
at the top. There was sort of wreath Of
violets and black velvet ribbon thrown
over the shoulders and fastened so that
the ends trailed down the front. This re-
lieved the severity of the oorsage without
destroying its perfect lines. This pretty
little fancy Is carried out with several diff
ferent kinds of flowers.

OKLAHOMA CITY, May 24.-Many
curious scenes were enacted during
the rush for the land Office here yes
terday
The line ended solid up against the
only door that was To be opened after
1880 o'clock. Promptly at IL o'clock
the door was opened and six people
were admitted, and the door was
closed behind them. The chief inter
left, however, was in another quarter.
over the south stairway To the land
block is a small room which connects
with the registers office. A door opens
into the hallway directly in front Of
the landing of the stairs To the third
floor of the building. A little space
of hall floor in front OF the door was
not occupied by liners, ard in this
space and upon the stairway to the
third floor were several people who
desired TO see the rush for the land
Office door Among them was n de
termined looking little woman, who
for an hour before IL o'clock anXiously
eyed the transom over the door to the
little room. Ten minutes before IL
o'clock she quietly removed her hat
and cape, aud then relapscd into
thoughtful attitude.
When the land Office door opened
and everybody's attention was at
tracted toward it, Farris Cox came
down off the stale steps and, leaping
quickly disappeared through the
open transom. Without an instant's
hesitation the little woman followed.
and before the crowd of people ON the
outside knew what had happened only

hose was sticking through the tran
