WOMAN OF FASHION.

Paris April Ell have just returned
from an opening of summer gowns-verit-
able summer gowns-all lace and gauze,
and huttering with ribbons Of every hue.
Linen, yellow linen, made over silk Innings,
is the latest novelty for thin gowns. and it
really is most attractive. II is a regular
unbleached yellow. but 1t obtains all it's
chic beauty from the lining and 'acces-
sores. one was made over a blue silk
lining. The skirt was perfectly plain,
with a deep hem. while the bodice was
gathered full from the collar and drawn
down into belt of broad blue novelty
ribbon The collar was also of this ribbon,
and the finish around the sleeves.
Blue and ecru are extremely pretty,
whether the blue be a pale turquoise or
French blue, and the combination is a
great success here. If blue is not desired,
lavender is also dainty, and several pretty
frocks have been made up with various
shades of mauve Innings and broad sash
gibbons Of striped or ehangeable hello
trope for collars and belt.
saw two gowns which were bought by
tall, dark-haired. gray-eyed, pale com
plexioned girl, quite pretty, but depending
much upon her gowns to make her at
tractive.
one selected was a lavender and white
batiste, made over white silk and trim
med with lavender ribbon Another had
a full skirt of striped cherry and white
lawn over red silk with waist of the
striped lawn trimmed with broad white
ribbon and still another was of yellow
linen, over bottled green, with trimmings
of the same color. All of these gowns
were made perfectly plain, and for her
style they were just what she needed. In
expensive gowns are these, and they are
really the prettiest models to possess for
the summer wardrobe.
Dotted materials are shown in all the
shops in great numbers, whether they be
blue and white, red and white, black and
white, white and black, or, prettiest Of
all mauve and white. one feature is
noticeable, the dots are very small En-
broideries are used great deal this year.
and two effective gowns were fashioned
by the mOdiste, whose opening was con-
sidered the finest IN Paris. one of blue
had the skirt of blue lawn, while the
waist was made Of solid stripes OF white
embroidery and blue lawn. 1t was held
in around the waist by roll of white
and blue while the sleeves we're of the
striped combination OF embroidery and
plain blue material This would make
a most serviceable gown, and no combi-
nation, taking all in all, is ever prcttier
than dark blue and white, especially for

Oglesby never forgot his early country

was governor of Illinois for the first time,
he bought ten cords Of fire wood of a
farmer, who was to cord the wood In the
governors yard. After three cards had

farmer. "You must do IT better than that

a long and adventurous life Among

that Delmonioo's attracted his attention

A CAT FIGHTS WITH FISH.
Pussy Likes the Sport and L. . Clever
and Cure Catcher.

Cats, as a rule, don't like water, but
an Italian fisherman named Michael has
a large Maltese named Joe that loves
water as much as other cats love a rug
in front of a crate fire. Michael has
one OF those lattern-rigged boats, and
goes fishing In the usual way, except
that he takes Joe along. He likes to
have Joe, and Joe likes to go. While
the boat Is on the way to the fishing
grounds Joe lies still and don't mind
how wet he gets or how much the lit
tie craft pitches about. But when the
seine, with Its load OF wrlggling fish, Is
hauled In. Joe's fun commences. He IS
most anxious to get hold Of the largest,
and will often jump into the net before
II Is landed. When a big rock cod is
thrown on to the deck the cat is In its
glory. He will run around and attempt
to shake 1t as he would n mouse. The
fish spreads out its fins and opens it's
mouth, and Joe gives II twist by the
tail that causes II to turn a dozen SOM
ersaults. Then the pair will roll over
and over together. and the fishermen
nearly kill themselves laughing at the
sight. The cat gets wet and covered
with scales. and possibly gets prlcked
several times with the spines OF the
fish. but T. seems to thoroughly enjoy
the sport. When the fish is almost deai
from being out Of the water Joe seems
to think II is all his doings. and that he
has really killed 1t in a pitch ed hattie
lie then waits for another fish fresh
from the deep. and repeats the perform
ance. The cat seems to have no other
idea in playing with the fish except
