Mayiield, Ky. Dec 22.-Part of the
mob that hanged Jim Stone went on the
rampage again last night. One hundred
shots were fired into the residence of Tom
Chambers, colored, and the house was
afterwards set .on fire and burned, de.
stroying other buildings. There is much
bitter feeling, the negroes having made
threats to avenge the lynching of Stone
and the killing of Henry Finney. Seve-
raj negroes have been warned to leave

Sayve. Sailor trousers down to the heel
of fine black serge; blouse of white serge
with sailor collar OF red silk covered
Irish quipure lace. Sailor knot of red
silk. Manila straw hat with a large roll
ing brim and black band. And another
costume being worn by the little son of
the Countess de PanisSe-j aSSiS. Short
trousers of dark blue serge, and blouse
of white alpaca, with blue silk collar on
which are stitched two bands of white
silk near the edge; sailor knot of blue
silk; hat like the first. The hair is worn
short. IT is to be remarked, however,
that some boys of this age have the hair
in curlS.
For girls dress great use is made of
faX-colored batiste, which has been
found both practical and cheap. The
thicker qualities are not transparent
and so can be made UP over ordinary
cotton Innings. Where elaborate dress
is wanted the thin linen is used, 20
make a transparency over color AS d
full dress model for a 12-year-old girl
may be described toilette being worn
by the daughter of the Counties de La
Lande. 1t is of aax-colored linen over
blue silk. The blue skirt is gored and
reaches nearly to the ankle, and the
linen covers it smoothly and is quite
untrimmed. The linen is plated over
the blouse. The sleeve is close and
wrinkled, with a puff at the top, like
an adults. Blue sab tied behind; white
leghorn hat bound with black velvet
and trimed with blue satin ribbon. The
ribbon is twisted into a rope and the
rope passes around the bottom of the
CROWN still twisted. and is made into a
bow or standing loops at one side.
A new idea in the trimming of chill
dren's gowns is to make applique pat
terms with thin sleazy ribbon or silk
braid. The ribbon is drawn UP with a
thread on one edge where it is needed to
form curves AS an example of this
work is a blue yelling gown with the
blouse in front covered with an irregu-
lar spiral pattern in white; also a brown
mixed wool with brown ribbon on the
skirt and jacket.
The hats worn all summer by little
girls, of a straw crown and chiffon rutfle
for brim, have grown in size till they
look something eXtravaSant. A new idea
is a. close bonnet covering the ears and
tying under the chin, an exact copy Of
the Women'S bonnetS of 1910. l have
saen one on a. child of in dark blue
trimmed on the outside with long-stem-
med rosebuds. No bow and no other
trimming.
The fashion in hair dressing for little
girls is that which may be seen in the
well known picture by Velasquez Of the
Infanta Marguerite That is to say, the
hair is parted on the left side, and some
hairs are caught together on the right
side, opposite the parting, and tied with
small bow of colored ribbon. The
smallest bit answers, as it is not a. bow
that is wanted so much as a touch of
color. The ends of the hair hang loose

fitted behind. and belted in front, but
now It touches the figure nowhere but
at the shoulders, and hangs loose all
round without suggestion of belt.
Such gowns either are accordion or
side plated, or else they have plaits
only in the middle of the back and
front, according to the material. Thin
ones are made of ecru batiste, and Of
light weight woods printed like the
foulards of this season in Japanese
manner, white on blue, white
on black, red ON white. Very deli
cate ones are of dotted Swiss muslin
over color. They fall from a yoke and
the loose sleeve reaches over the elbow
Warmer ones are of flannel. I have
seen one of gray flannel side plated
and trimmed with bands of narrow
black velvet ribbon, a cluster of bands
near the foot, another part way up,
and third just below the black velvet
yoke. Square epaulettes of velvet fall
out on the sleeve, carrying out the line
of the yoke. And another of plaid fan
nei, in which there is much white and
yellow, trimmed also with black velvet.
A more formal style Of house dress
is made with a Garibaldi blouse and a.
full skirt in plaits or shirs. The blouse
is gathered on the shoulders under a.
strap stitched down over the seam, a,
stitched box plat is down the middle
and the blouse droops over the belt ay
round. 1t should be made in soft ma
teriaI such as foulard or liberty silk.
This model serves for a simple break
fast gown or for rich afternoon re-
ception gown at home, according to
the material used, and there is consid-
cradle chance to vary the design. For
afternoon a pretty gown has the skirt
OF black liberty silk printed with
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-08-30

neckband and out to the very edge Of
the rolling collar, and the skirt to the
knee are covered with bands running
round. The braid does not go directly
on the blouse but on a yoke collar with
/ epauletteS attached, the whole making
one rounded outline over the sleeves.
[ have seen at one of the dressmakers
a model like this for autumn carried
out in green cloth and brown soutache.
Plaids and checks continue their tri-
umphant career. Nothing is in more
favor with chic women. The checks
are in black and white only; If color is
used something is lost from the style.
This something is simplicity. There is
little now to say as to their makeup.
They absorb quantities of black velvet
ribbon, and black, white and silver
! braid Some in silk made for cere-
monious wear are trimmed with plait-
ings of black chiffon. Thus a checked
silk skirt has three f1ounces of black
chiffon and the blouse is covered with
the chiffon
/ Some of the new jackets have haring
cuffs at the wrists. They are not very
wide but they stand almost straight
out, and are slashed in two places.
Very few pointed revers are seen; they
are for the most part all straight and
run down to the edge Of the Jacket.
Very much admired are gowns Of
black foulard lowered with a large
pattern. They are made UP without a
vestige of trimming, the pattern being
quite decoration enough. The skirt is
shirred round the hips and hangs very
full, and the blouse is shirred or else
has some full yoke drapery. The idea
is to cut the material as little as pos
sible The style of these gowns is in
their simplicity. They are considered
ceremonious enough for dinner and
evening wear The neck is made high,
as is that of all but ball gowns at pres
ent, but the sleeves may stop at the
elbow if desired.
MATINEES AND TEA GOWNS.
More things than the long travelling
cloak take their cue from the loose box
cloak. The morning gown used to be
