There is a great use for afternoon
gowns of fichus and other forms of lace

nor is there lack of the f1ounce, pure and
simple, or rather far from simple.
The bloomer bathing suit is made
with short skirt over it. In many bath

will be frankly worn without the skirt,

confidence; but hardly in Newport.
The materials may be dotted white
f1annels, or preferably cream or gray,
trimmed with black ribbon and worn

trimmed with white silk braid, or
flannel cut in bolero jacket with full

by sandals with straps lacing half way
up to the knee. The necks of modish
gowns are always cut modestly high,
the sleeves short and the skirt not so
long as the bloomers by two or three
inches.
The girls are reveling this season in
gay buttons, enamels and moonstones
and china and Dresden effects, though
many of the gowns conceal the open"

this: Ny father came from the New

cutting it with the cradle. binding it with
the rake. and threshing it with the ball
upon the floor. he put it upon wagon
and drove it to this city of Milwaukee,.
ninety-siX miles away. and sold 1T here
for 46 cents Il bushe. This was in the
sos. and silver then was S1.30 an ounce.
Now tell the silver men to explain to YOU
how it was that in the early 50s wheat
was rs cents buShel, and silver S1.3O
an ounce. if the price of silver always
carries with it the price of wheat. And
when he hens and haws. say to him:
at is not only confined to wheat, but
that other commodity you yoke up with
silver. cotton; and tell him that for the
four years ending in 1915 cotton in the
city of New York averaged only cents
IA pound: and that for the four years
ending in 1894 the same class averaged
s cents pound Tell him to explain
that to YOU That was when we had
free coinage and silver was then $l.30
an ounce. He cannot explain it. That
