The women of Paris have DAINTY
way of selecting all their summer ma
terials of wash goods, and many OF the
collars are lawn, nainsook and wash

one great charm of Parisians, and OF
American women who have become
touched with the indescribable French

collars wash with the gown, but. truth
to tell. they are taken off and cleaned
when the dress itself goes in the tub.
1t is a certain fact that wash gowns
this year are not supposed to be wash
ed. And why should they be? Why
should a woman with neatness and with
a large supply of dresses find it neces-
sary TO plunge her wellmade gown in
the suds every week. Does she play
at mud pies, like the children? A
summer gown, properly lined and dres-
sily worn. lasts a whole season.
The shirt waist does come into pop

it. When seen upon the truly dressy

striped pattern and cost not over 10
cents a yard American money. which is
a good price here. With the dress was
a big, fiat hat, trimmed with the most
delicate combination in blue flowers
and green ribbon. None but a milliner
whose prices are as high as thermom-
eter on a hot spring day could have
combined those blues and greens cor
rectly. The waist was made elegant by
that expensive hat.
These pleasant Sundays all Paris
takes to carriages. and the gowns OF
fashion are bought not for shopping,
nor for calling, nor for promenade, but
for the Bots. NINA GOODWIN.

il. II is very fashionable and expen-
siye. A coat of precisely the same cut
and of better material. but another col
or. is sold for half the sum of the putty
coat
The reason for this is the great de-
{ mand for putty color. The looms have
turned out all they thought would be
required. but they fell far short of the
supply. Il caught on with amazing
rapidly.
The little putty colored coat was
straight in front and hung TO the waist
line. The back was close fitting. So
were the sides. The collar was of cloth
not velvet: and the curve of the lap
els was a broad slope that gave for
clgn look to the jacket. The material.

spring coats are.
CARRIAGE HATS.
The hat was a little fiat red straw
with green leaves piled upon it and red
berries peeping out. Il was worn well
onward the front and was very pretty
and becoming.
Many carriage hats are small in spite
OF spring suns, but the Partisan mas
seuses can efface all sun stains in an
hour.
The color for matrons this spring is
universally brown. That is strange.
But it is explained by the fact that
Mime. Faure wears a golden cloth dress;
and the Princess Maud. whose trous-
seau is assuming vast proportions,
wrote to have one of her travelling
gowns brown. 4 touch of Mrs. Wilde's
canary color is seen tightening the
sombre effect.
The Partisan deg is the customary
driving chaperone. He. like his mis-
tress, wears a tour de cou dignity. The
dogs ribbon is caught in knot of hair
behind his ears and stands boldly up
right above his head. matching in hue
the tone of his mistress's gown.
The most delightful neck rulings are
worn with all gowns. The ruffies are
the freshest and prettiest part of the
dress. Women of taste and style think
nothing OF wearing their last season 8
gowns now that the large and elaborate
neck trimmings have come in.
A popular style is cut after the sailor
collar pattern. but is larger, deeper and
more pointed in front. Ii comes almost

the other. Both are edged with tiny

need of something of that sort him

ahead and tell me all about it,"
That's what I've been trying to do

newspapers of a thousand all over town

and never policeman in sight till the
whole thing was over / say I've seen
forty fights like that myself, and

The charge that America had caused
the Soudan war was made by British
statesman. When told to retract he re-
fused to do so, but said he would ex-

reiterating what ne had said at first.
When told that he must be more eX-
