In a late number of the Utahnian was
noticed an illustration of Beauty and
the Beast The expressiveness of the
comparison is lost in the desire to res
cue our Goddess of Liberty from such
companionship. Colonel DOMAIN should
not sacrifice beauty's innocence upon
the altar of political inyective.
A number of new books have just
been received by one of our prominent
book sellers. The bindings are mostly
in dainty linen, which is so appropriate
for summer use. Among them was no
ticed TON Grogan" by F. Hopkinson
Smith, and "a Singular Life" by e. ).
Phelps, which two are among the hest
sellers Richard Harding Davis new
story, cinderella" is well liked.
adam Johnstone's Son." by F. Mar
ion Crawford. and "a Lady Of Quail
ity," by Frances Hodson Burnett, are
both receiving much attention. Admir-
ers OF Robert Louis Stevenson will be
glad to know that since his death there
have been two new books of his pub
lished.
The Golden Age" by Kenneth era
hame. is as charming as the name in
dictates. Since the death of II. l.. Bun
ner his books seem to have gained
popularity. Jersey Street and Jersey
Lane" is one of his best.
The prettiest of all summer gowns is
the white one. 1t adapts itself to all
ages, and by exercising a little care in
choosing the material and design 1t
may be made elaborate enough for
evening wear or simple enough for the
street.
Blazer suits made of white pique or
duck are the most popular gowns for
Jake wear.
Wells should be worn for all day
functions. They give a stylish finish
to the headgear and improve the looks
of the Wearer.
Black hose and ties with moderately
pointed shoes and medium heel are
correct with any summer costume,
though tan hose and shoes are cooler
and also very stylish with thin street
and house gowns.
We hear more of petticoats this sum-
mer than we have heard for many
years past Both black and white mo-
reen petticoats in the godet shape are
much worn to keep the dress skirt
fiaring, but they are too heavy for
comfort. The moired percaline are far
preferable. This is stiff enough to
stand out well, is very light weight |
and has the rustic of silk.
Handkerchief are very dainty, but
they are not as much in evidence as
formerly. A well-dressed woman
never wears handkerchief thrust in
her belt or the front of her dress.

The summer skirt is a very sweet |
and simple affair, reminding one of the |
capricious elegance Of the sixteenth !
century in the coloring of the fabrics
and the cloud-like etherialism of the |
effects.
Children's clothes show no marked
changes. Grass linen is more popular
than ever, and the child whose ward |
robe is complete has q number of lit
tie coats in REFER style. They are
made of grass-!inen, duck, figured |
cloth or silk, to suit the OCCASION for
which they are intended.
The most popular material for bath
ing suits this summer is brilliantine. 1t |
is light and does not cling to the fig
ure; it can also be shaken free of wa
Ter in less time ana W1tn less IrOuDle |
than any other fabric similarly en-
ployed.
The really dainty woman can now
crafty her most fastidious taste in the |
seasons lingerie. The scope of indi-
vidual taste IS in this portion of her |
wardrobe quite as large as in other |
directions. The favorite materials are
fine French percale, linen cloth, batiste |
or lawn. The favorite trimmings are
lace; in fact this can be safely termed |
a lace season, so profuse is its use
Point de Paris is most seen, although |
Valenciennes, being the finest and |
softest of all washable laces, will al |
ways be popular
Hemstitching is much used on dress
ing sacks and skirts.
Every economical woman knows the
value of a millinery box 1t is here I
that all ribbon velvet and lace from
each seasons hat is put after it has
been cleaned and freshened. 1t is sur
