sertion, lawn and edging, cut in four
points on the edge, are arranged over the
shoulders. A new imitation valen-
ciennes, which is heavier than the old
and much prettier, is the lace in use just
at present, and it comes in effective pat
terms of fruit and flowers.
Dimities, in pale tints of blue, pink
and lavender, are to be fashionable ma
teria1 for summer undergarments, and
these will be trimmed with ruff1es of the
same, edged with narrow lace or with
pretty, dainty edges of embroidery.
Petticoats Of dimity are especially nice
to wear under thin summer gowns, and
they can be made very effective with
the inexpensive edges on the ruff1es.
Among the new shapes in nightgowns
is a circular cut at the neck, trimmed
around with lace insertion and edge and
belted in slightly at the waist with wide
open insertion, through which ribbon is
run. More elaborate gowns in this style
have tabs of embroidered insertion or
4 inches long and edged around with
lace, falling from the insertion band at
the neck.
Chemises and drawers are made to
match all the extra fine gowns, and they
are usually sold in sets of three pieces
Another very pretty style is finely
tucked back and front to form yoke,
cut out in small V shape and finished
with pointed revers shaped pieces
formed by bands of the plain lawn, lace
insertion and edge, and decorated with
rosette bows of ribbon on the shoulders
and at the neck.
There is a lavish use of ribbon on all
the undergarments and mostly in
widths much greater than the baby rib
bon which has been SO popular. Some
of the most fluffy white petticoats are
cut to flare widely at the bottom, which
is finished with two narrow ruff1es,
edged with lace, and over this is a
gored hounce to the knee. The f1ounce
is trimmed with wide ruff1es of lace or
embroidery and headed by band of in
sertion. Extra fullness is given to some
of the skirts by two deep flounces up
the back, trimmed with narrower
hounces. with cords run in above the
hem,

Perhaps we are to have a white summer,
which is always satisfactory when muslins
and dimities in vogue. White gloves
have reigned all winter and are still
reigning; white Innings for capes and
basques have been largely favored white
lace has superseded that Of butter and
ecru tints; white kid belts are pronounced
1.-The thing by fashionable authorities,
and there seems to be nothing to pre-
vent the liking for white from increas-
ing the warm weather approaches.
Nobody has yet been hardy enough to
propose a revival of the white stocking for
ordinary wear, and it is to be hoped that
that hideous article of apparel has sunken
into permanent obscurity.
The dinner gown of which a picture is
given has a skirt of mauve and white
glace satin. The lower edge is finished
by a band of aubergine velvet, above
which is a double frill of plated mauve
mousseline de sole. The bodice is of straw
satin, embroidered with gold, and has a
basque composed of two frills of plated
mauve mousseline. A species of bolero of
aubergine velvet, embroidered with jet,
fits closely over the satin corsage. A vel
vet sleeve cap covers the top of the arm,
the sleeve itself consisting of four plaitings
of mousseline. The medici collar formed
by two plaitings of mousseline is extended
into two small revers, held in place by
paste buttons. JUDO CHoLLET

GRADUATED EYES.
Prof. SamueIS Handles Them With
His Usual Success.
An Aggravated Case Where the Party
Was Totally Blind For
Six Weeks.

Granulated eyes is a disease with
which all oculists and many physicians
are familiar; and often to their own sor-
row, as well as that of their patients.
These cases are generally treated with
some sort of caustic for the purpose of
destroying the grAnules. But in these
cases as well as all others, Prof Samuels
has treatment peculiarly his own.
Below is a sample of this class of
cases, the details of which are told in the
young lady's own words. Miss May
Montgomery lives with her parents at
3U1 Hancock street, and to a reporter
who called she told this story:
six years ago last spring l had the
measles which kept me out of school the
latter part of the year and of course
threw me behind with my studies. Az
ter recovering from the disease l started
in to make up during the summer what
studies and time had lost in the spring,
SO that l might start in with my class
in the fall. But l soon found that the
measles had so weakened my eyes that l
would have to stop, so began to nurse
them till school opened.
In Sc ptember ] started to school, but
only went day or two From that time on
it was not a question whether l should
go TO school, but whether l would go
blind. tell you the next six or seven
months were the most miserable anyone
six weeks of that time 1 was absolutely
blind; aud during the rest of that time [
was so nearly SO that l could not tell
whether an object across the street was a
man, a horse, or tree. My eyes gave
me such intense pain that l could not lie
down in bed, but had to catch what sleep
l could in a half sitting posture.
Most of my meals were eaten from a
tin plate, as l could not bear the white of
the china dishes. A largo part of my
time WAS spent in dark room with a
sun bonnet pulled over my eyes, striving
to keep out the light and the pain.
"From July until the following April
l was doctoring with one Topeka physi-
clan and consulting most of the time
with several others. My eyes were burnt
with some preparation that gave me SUCH
intense pain that / had to lie down in the
doctors office while before could start
home. All the other physicians and ocu-
lists that l consulted advised an opera
ton, and one prominent doctor told me
that the granules were as large as grains
of whoa. The physician with whom
WAS treating said he could not cure me,
but could give only relief.
In the spring l went to see Prof.
Samuels and he began at once to treat
me. From the first l began TO improve,
but the case was such bad one that it
was nearly year before l could lay the
glasses aside as cured. The only treat
ment he gave me was the eyeWash and
glasses For some time after 1 had quit
using the glasses regularly l would put
them on when reading or doing difficult
sewing. But it has been a long time
since l have worn them and four or five
years nv eyes have been as good as they
ever were.
Prof. Samueps Office is at 6o6 Kansas
avenue, over the Hub clothing store.

to the original price. If the material is
not thus treated, the first damp weather
shOrtens the skirt half an inch or more,
while every drop of water leaves a mark.
The newest sleeve pattern, which at last
marks the decrease of size that has so long
been announced to no purpose, is in one
piece, the seam being on the inside.
The fullness is entirely confined to the
top, the sleeve being close above the elbow
half way to the shoulder. This makes the
balloon small and round. The bishop
sleeve promises to be decided vogue for
summer wear. A new evening sleeve con-
sists of short cap, from which fall four
ruff1es of mousseline de sole. This has an
exceedingly pretty effect, as the gown is
also trimmed with f1ounces of the same
goods.
The illustration shows a charming toilet
in mauve and dahlia shades. The skirt is
of mauve and green glace satin and has
narrow border of sable around the foot.
The Louis Seize coat of dahlia glace satin
has an ample basque and is edged with
narrow black passementerie. The vest is
of broche ivory peau de sole, with colored
flowers and foliage. A jabot of old lace
is carried down the front. The standing
collar and the daring cuffs are of peau dc
Sole A large open collar of sable fringeG
with tails covers the shoulders.

FASHIONS OF ALL KINDS.
Children's Gowns@Tam O'Shanters and
White Felt Hats.

Chi1dren's GoWns-Tam O'Shanters and
White Felt Hats.
The preferred bodice for little girls
gowns is the blouse. 1t is loose and COM
Portable, besides being more becoming to
the ehild's figure than close styles. Tho
blouse is trimmed in varying fashion. a
bertha or yoke of guipure being the IA
vorite adornment. The American gown, "
as the French term these little dresses that
hang loose from a yoke is not SO much
worn in Paris as it was, but is by no
means entirely discarded. One of the lat
est models in this style has the fuIIness
laid in one large box plait in front, the
edge of the goods standing up over the
yoke to form a heading.
Tam O'Shanter caps are coming into
fashion again and are worn by children
and young girls.
Braiding and embroidery are much used
on all plain fabrics. Cloth jackets and
gowns are also trimmed with applications
of velvet, which are outlined with machine
stitching or with narrow braid or cord.
White felt hats, trimmed with white
feathers, ribbons and flowers, are being
worn in England, in spite of the climate
White felts otherwise adorned are also seen.
and among the spring models are dead
white straw hats, with white ribbon bands.

Novel Features In Under2armenGS-KoP
lar Materials and Trimmings.
The new woman, with her knicker-
bockers and varied assortment of trou-
sers and her frantic efforts to reform
the entire department of underclothes,
has brought about a reaction which IS
decidedly opposed to masculine methods
of construction, and the spring novelties
in lingerie are as elaborate and dainty
as the most womanly woman could de-
sire, says the New York Sun, which
gives the following descriptions:
The most novel feature of the new
nightgowns is the sleeve, which is in
variably a full puff, elbow length, with
q frill Of lace falling below the narrow
band of insertion which confines the
gathers, and the one which is more elab-
crate than all the others has first very
short pulled sleeve with lace frill and
over this gathered flowing sleeve, fall
ing just below the elbow and trimmed
with rows of lace insertion set in be-
tween bands of the nainsoOk and finish
ed with the lace edge. One pretty style
of gown with this sort of sleeve is called
the Queen Bess nightgown. It is cut
square at the neck, trimmed around with
lace insertion and edge, and five rows of
insertion about 9 inches long extend
down the front from the neck in the
gathers of lawn. Little bretelles of in
