An Important Industry of the Bahama

The raising and shipping of pineap-

front there Is box pleat Of white null
set with small black buttons, and a
large black satin bow whose ends are
held down by fancy buttons. The

Dust ruffies were too pretty to be
discarded permanently. though 1t is
true that they do not wear well. but
that is chief attraction Of the aver
age dainty establishment Of gown.
The very fact that these little ruffies
are in such position that three Ordi-
nary wears will dim their lustre and
half-dozen ruin and make their edges
ragged, gives them a sort Of guarantee,
when they are faultlessly crisp and
bright, that the wearer either gives
them no ordinary wear but Is always
daintily lifted out Of the mud and dust
and throned in a carriage, or else that
less change Of gowns makes the ex-
treme or wear only once or Twice Tor
the ruffies Of the skirt. The embelllsh-
ment that is not only beautiful but
also conveys this guarantee Of wealth,
leisure and attendance is sure to retain
Its vogue, though it be debarred for
those very reasons from great popular
ity. So, IL you are not rich and haven't
lot of maids, then make up your mind
to devote yourself pretty exclusively to
the welfare of your ruffles IL you must
have them.
AS summer ended travelling dresses
took on quite as great degree Of elabI
orateness as other gowns left behind.
They became so elaborate-in some
cases quite fanciful-that the design
of their wearers to use them later as
street dresses was plain. Meanwhile
the exquisites distinguish themselves

from the million by insisting upon a
different travelling gown for the return
journey from that worn in going away.
BY less extravagant women the last
two pictures will be considered as sep
arate possibilities, though 1t suggests
luxury pleasantly to think Of taking a
Journey in one Of them and returning
in the other The first Is of navy blue
alpaca, and its skirt has strapped seams
and Is dotted In front with five but
tons on each side. The fitted bodice
is slashed in front to show pleated in
sertions of red and blue shot taffeta,
and the latter are repeated on the
sleeves. Its sides are gathered and the
front shows big boxpleat also trim
med with buttons. The belt may be of
leather or Of the dress material, and n
fancy collarette of taffeta with gufpure
edging completes the ornamentation.
The second travelling costume is even
more ornate than this, being made

of gray cloth at the right side of the
skirt. The bodice has vest and collar
of the darker color seen in the plaid.
and large revers. Of which the right
one passes around the back to form a
belt and is then fastened with buckle
at the upper part Of the skirt revers,
making II appear as IL the one were a
continuance of the other. The plaid
sleeves have fancy pointed cuffs of the
plain goods, with stitched edges.
Another good material for the gown
for home coming is corduroy In gray.
IL the trip be not too long, let the
seams be Tapped with white pique
bands. The collar of the coat, the pocket
pieces and the cuffs should be of white
pique, too, and the soft hat of gray felt
in tourist shape should have pique
band.

DUN & co.'s REPORT.
warming Against Too Rapid Elk
n. pansion i'm Trade.

Warming Against Too Rapid Ex-
p pansion i'm Trade.
r. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says: Improvement in markets and
prices continues, and whereas few
months ago everybody was nursing the
faintest hopes of recovery, it has now
come to be the only question in what
branches, If any, the rise in prices and
the increase of business may go too far.
A strong conservative feeling is finding
expression not yet controlling the mar
kets or industries, but warning against
too rapid expansion and rise. In some
directions the advance in prices clearly
checks future business, but encouraging
features have great power. Exports of
gold continue, but are met by syndicate
deposits and are expected to cease soon.
Anxieties about the monetary future no
longer hinder. Crop prospects, except for
cotton, have somewhat improved. Inn
portant steps towards the reorganization
of great railroads give hope to investors.
Labor troubles are for the moment less
threatening, and some of Importance have
been definitely settled. The industrials
are not only doing better than anybody
had expected, but are counting upon a
great business for the rest of the year.

The Service Of Birds.

The birds do an immense amount Of
drudgery for man, though they some
times reward themselves for this hard
work by dainty tidbits Of ripening
fruit. A pair Of common American
robins, or thrushes, have been watched
while they carried three thousand earth
worms to one brood. Woodpeckers de-
stroy eggs and larvae which would
literally develop millions Of destructive
creatures, both in forests and orchardss
and one of the most inveterate foes of
the canker worm is the beautiful oriole,
were 1t but allowed to live and hang it's
swinging cradle in the elm. For every
wing Of black and gold on a young girls
hat an apple tree Is stripped of leaves
and young fruit, and left brown and
ugly In the summer sun, or an elm is
denuded of its graceful foliage by the
loathsome canker worm.

Suggestive.

Undoubtedly many talented writer's
have to wait long for financial success.
But 1t Is well for an ambitious author
to face the question whether his failure
to make living by his pen is result
Of the poor quality Of his work.

harassed by the complaints of would
be writer whose talents were certainly
not In the direction of literature.
One day the young man made a par

On one side of the car Is a friction

On bracket attached to one of the

mains In the path of the door when the

bag front Is attained by a piece Of lace
which is punched at the top, and SINH
lar lace rosettes are put near the shout
ders. The full sleeves end in lace
cuffs and band Of lace gives the col
lar, with a rosette in back.
Lace isn't affected, apparently, by
the change of season, and is still to be
used very freely. So when the pretty
dresses that are so soon to be old style
are thrown or given away make sure to
rip all the lace Off first. Few of the
devices for employing laces are entire
ly "out," and new places have been
found for putting 1t on gowns. The
establishment Of seams Is feature Of
some Of the models, and skirts of the
umbrella pattern have their many
seams masked by narrow satin ribbons
of color to contrast with the material
OF the gown, such ribbon being finished
ut the edges with closely fulled narrow
lace. Just stop, amateur dressmaker,
and try computing how many yards of
lace can be disposed Of by that idea.
With that problem solved, turn to the
second illustration and observe an
other trick of seam ornamentation. In
this dress beige crepon and striped
bluet taffeta are employed, and inser-
tions of the latter show below the
knees at all of the skirt seams, which
above each seam Is outlined by band
of galloon. This method Is at first con-
sideration less terrifying than the sug-
gested use Of fulled lace, but 1t COM
plicates the making of the skirt till the
home dressmaker need be wary. The
bodice is not much easier, being COM
posed Of plain crepon back and a
front Of alternate, stripes of crepon
and taffeta, the fastening being at the
side. Belt and collar are of crepon. the
latter trimmed with bluet chiffon ro-
settles, and the taffeta sleeves have
crepon cuffs and beige ribbon trimming.
