in the Red river valley four days work
was reported for the week. Corn is
being planted, but many are holding

the latter part of the week has beer
very favorable for the stooling of wheat.

Cyclone Strikes the Town of Rooka and

WICHITA, Kar., May 21.-A cyclone
passed over the town CT Rooka 90 miles
south Of here. but owing to the fact that
communication is cut off with that place
no details can be ascertained Five of
the houses of little village are known
to have been demolished and 10 persons
reported injured, but how badly is not
known. The superstition is that great
damage was done to the farmers along

the mild weather many furriers will be
totally ruined. A cold spell before the
holidays might have saved many, so olll
Atlantic sisters and cousins will shortly
lave the opportunity of purchasing many
costly garments at remarkable figures.
Two pretty girls here have the hand
soonest ermine capes in the City. They
are composed entirely of this costly fur
and are large and faring, reaching below
the waist line. They are lined with white
satin, which reminds me that when so
many were having black velvet capes lined
with white satin it was considered an ex-
travagance; but l find that whenever the
wearer has exercised moderate care and
the satin has been OF the best quality it
looks almost as fresh as ever.
Among the illustrations to-day is one oil
stylish evening gown of shot MORE, cut
en- princess, the upper part of the bodice
and sleeves being of yellow satin covered
with pink accordion -pleated chiffon; puff
lngs of yellow satin ribbon finished the
sleeves and neck, which is cut below the
shoulders, and attached by thread of
colored stones and pearls forming bow.
The skirt has long train, which is beauti-
fully jeweled to match the bodice.
The evening blouse is composed of a
fancy cream-white silk, covered with dots.
Rows of yellow lace extend down the
front and also ornament the large puffed
shade of phlox satin ribbon, the effect of
which is dainty.
The teagown is charming affair of
batiste and insertion over rose taffeta.
The collar is large and full, and ed dged
with lace. The ample sleeves are elbow
length, and the choux and girdle are of
rose velvet.
The great bow between the ends of
which the young girl is looking is COM
posed of pale-blue tulle, edged with lace.

ingly low cut as usual" 1t is all very well
for woman to be proud of having her
wonderful jewels commented on, and that
should satisfy Mrs. Jack, who shows ex-
celIent taste in the selection of fabrics, as
at large reception lately given she wore
gown of rose-pink, Oriental-looking
gauze, doubtless picked up somewhere in
her Eastern travels, with gold embroidery.
Last week spoke of the touch of black,

where he keeps large and choice stock of
clothing for dogs only. On his shelves
are canine overcoats for summer and win

The shirts are made of batiste
for healthy dogs and of surah silk or wool
for dogs suffering from nervous diseases
and for those who take cold easily.
These shirts are embroidered with the
monogram of the dog and that of the
owner.

Taffeta is being much used at present, as
the best quality has mostly lovely
sheen, and its claims were fully demon

beautiful matron wore dress of white
taffeta, with sleeves of white embroidered
chiffon de sole. The sleeves fell off the
shoulders, the bands over the shoulders
being trimmed with geraniums; clusters
of geraniums were also used for garniture
around the corsage, and among the frills
of chiffon de sole down each side. Re-
vers of geranium velvet, embroidered
in seed pearls with narrow velvet in front
to match, completed an admirable cos
tune. Although fur has been so extern
sively used this season as trimming, the

De Joinville scarfs are never lined, the
nand being made of handsome silk, which
is carefully fitted to the neck before being

scarf that is to be tied must fit the collar
properly or the knot will be forcei into a
position that does not permit of the effect
it was intended tc obtain. Each scarf of
the tieable kind has its understudy in the

they have become too numerous to be any
longer considered chic. For instance, at a
large tea given two weeks ago saw black
velvet jacket with a white satin front
covered with Brussels net. Then / noticed
one OF light gray brocade with large rhine
stone buttons. Next one of rich green
brocade edged with mink, having vest of
heavy white silk, over which was laid fine
lace. A belt of gold passementerie held it
at the waist line. The lining was of white
silk. The effect was excellent but that
style is too much in vogue to continue
long.
Washington is most delightful at this

trimmed with rare old point lace. Mrs
Sh erman was assisted in receiving by her
daughter and several of her nieces. Mrs.

pink silk, also beautifed with narrow edg-

daughter, wore pretty frock of pink silk
with green satin bodice veiled with lace.
Mme Romero, the w fe of the Mexican
Minister, gave reception about the same
time and appeared in truly beautiful and
artistic creation from Paris of dark
green and old rose silk, outlined with a
striped effect of black velvet and trimmed
handsomely with lace.
When Mrs. Morton received she selected
violet velvet, em broidered uniquely with

Miss Quay was married in Washington re-
Gently and her gown was remarked for its
rare richness and simplicity. The bride

Mrs. Cobb, wife of the Congressman from
st. Louis, is considered to be one of the
handsomest women in Washington, so her
costumes are frequently described at
length. One of her Paquln costumes is OF
pink satin, the skirt as usual very full. The
decollete bodice is beautifully trimmed
with creamy lace, black velvet and black
silk peoples. The front of the bodice has a
single pIait and lace finishes the decollete
effect. a large bow of satin ribbon at the
left of the waist line held graceful cluster
OF the popples, and bow effect finished
the bodice in the back. Full puffs OF satin
form the elbow sleeves. Miss Cobb wore
dress OF deep cream satin, the bodice be-
ing draped with accordion pleated chif-
fon.
Mrs. August Belmont, who has been
seen seldom this winter, appeared at the
Ogden Mills cotillon and looked positively
beautiful in marvellous gown of pink
miroir velvet. Speaking of Mrs. Belmont
reminds me that some one recently asked
her why she intended to marry Mr.. Bel
mont. She is reported to have replied:
II wish to be superior to the Vanderbilts.
Mrs. Belmont led New York society long
before Vanderbilt was heard of, and
shall be Mrs. Belmont"
Major Cootes' bride (nee Gartside) was
seen lately in calling costume of green
velvet, made with shirt coat and waist
coat of white and silver brocade. The coat
was edged with sable. Her hat was OF the
green velvet, with a soft crown. Three
feathers dropped over the brim on each
side of the front.
A correspondent, in writing from Paris,
notes superb muff, large in size, of silver
fox, which is a change from the hundreds
of sable ones to be seen daily. This writer
speaks of Mrs. Rollason, who is demi-
blonde, with an unusually perfect figure.
She attracted attention by one of her
gowns. 1t was of a blush gray cloth
with diagonal lines in black coming to the
surface all over it. The skirt had not a
bit of fulIness about the hips, but fell
in ripples at the back and Sides
With it was worn a large fare
cape, with an overlylng cape of black
lynx. This tapered to point at the waist
line and ended in two boas like ends, which
were tied carelessly. There was neck
