New York Fashion Letter.

The wash dresses of this year are more
beautiful than ever in colorng, design and
texture. The novelties in grass cloth,
which is extremely fashionable, are re-
markedly varied in design. Gay and bright
effects as we'll as the daintiest subdued
tones appear in these fabrics. The skirts of
summer gowns are trimmed with a narrow
cluster of rutfles, puffs, tucks or lace on the
bottom. The waists are made in very
simple fashion, with yoke or hchu effects.
Cotton materials with embroidered designs
are much in vogue. Sometimes the skirt
has additional trimming of insertion. or
it is plain with a beautifully embroidered
waist. Ribbons as belts and sashes are
generally worn. Severely plain tailor
gowns of wash material are favortes of the
summer. OF all the beautiful fabrics created
for the season the lowered muslins surpass
everything in color as well as desi n. Every
conceivable flower appears in harmonious
tints and artistic arrangement on these
diaphanous gowns. These dainty dresses
are usually made with silk underskirt Of
some fashionable tint. Costumes of black
ana white have again a wide popularity
Skirts, fancy waists, colarett+s as well as
hats, carry out tins charming combination.
One of the great features in summer mil
lInery is a certain combination of green
and blue brought out in a mixture of deli
cate tulle, Dresden ribbons, Bluets or a
conventionalized flowers OF blue and green
Hats of plated straw in bright colors are
much i'll vogue. Aigretts in peacock colors
spangled lace and every imaginable garland
of flowers adorn this gaily colored head
gear The Mcdowell Fashion Magazines of
the month furnish abundant illustrations of
the new fancies.

BOY ORATOR BUSINESS.

Haven't our Republican and
boiling Democratic contempor-
aries worked the hoy orator"
business quite long enough, es-
pecially as thare is nothing in
it? If Bryan shall be elected.
and lives TO serve his term, he
will haye reached an age some
years beyond that at which many
men, both in this country and
abroad, attained distinction. Be
sides; what is the objection to
'boy oratory," if there are sense
and logic in it? When Bryan was
in Congress, and much more of a
boy than he is now, he made a
speech, in which he said:
''Some who are ready TO use
the power of the government TO
limit the supply of money in or
der to prevent injustice to the
creditor, are slow to admit
the right of the govern
ment to increase the cur
rency when necessary to prevent
injustice to the debtor. [ de-
nounce tie cruel Interpretation
of governmental power, which
would graft the authority to
starve, but would withhold
the authority to feed our
pecple-which would permit
a contraction of our currency.
even to the destruction of all
prosperity. but would prohibit
the expansion Of our currency to
keep pace with the growing needs
of growing ration"
This may be .'boy oratory, but
there are thousands of men all
over the county; among them
many grave and reverend
and thoughtful seigninrs, who
think that the position Mr.. Bry-
an took was eminently sound and
logical. Nor is this all. Whether
Mr.. Bryan's theory as to the
best way TO expand the currency
so as to meet the growing needs
of a growing nation is sound or
not, and there is a great diver>
sity of opinion regarding that
matter; the fact rem aims that the
specific contention in the extract
from his speech above quoted
| has never been satisfactorily
answered. The need of the
country is more currency and a
financial system that will hold
the balances even between credi
tor and debtor, permitting
| neither to take advantage of the
other.
