SPRING COSTUMES FOR YOUNG LADIES.
mer materials do. Satines are shown
also; but unfortunately they never look
SO well after washing, and one wants a
summer dress to stand at least three
visits to the laundry. The percale shirt
waists are undeniably pretty, though l
hardly think the white collars and cuffs
to the colored waists in the best taste.
The new ecru and ficelle colored en-
broideries to match the linens and ba-
tistes are almost like lace, SO open are
they and so light. Cotton crepons will be
trimmed with embroideries done on
crepon to match. | should have men
toned the madras cloths in black and
white stripes, which are popular for
shirt waists. These have deep white
cuffs and collars, made separate, trim
med with very narrow embroidery in
black and white, with once in awhile
pin head dot of red or blue to take off
the mourning appearance. Yellow is
seen everywhere on everything and in
every shade. Cochin buff is a pretty
color, and many of the batistes are in
that shade. There was dress for
young girl of 10 of buff pique laid in
fiat plaits in the back of the skirt. The
waist was plain in the back where it
closed but had a stitching Stimulating
yoke. The front was gathered in blouse
fashion, with two cascades of ecru cot
ton crepon embroidery. The sleeves
were pulled TO the elbow, where all the
fullness was taken i'll with close plaits
until it fitted the arm snugly, TO fly
loose at the bottom in sort of ruffle
The same design was developed in a
handsome dark blue mohair, the front
having deeply pointed yoke of velvet
and blouse effect of the mohair.
Another gown for young girl had a
plain skirt of chestnut brown sicilienne
The corsage was in blouse form, with
revers ending in sailor square across
the shoulders. Two dull gold buttons
were set ON each side of the front, and a
fichu ruffle of brown silk finished the
neck. This gown is well designed for
both wool and cotton goods.
For outdoor gowns l saw one that was
almost an oddity. It was checked
cheviot in two shades of red and black
On the lighter checks were black woven
figures. There was band Of light brown
fur around the bottom. There was a
light Havana brown velvet underwaist,
and over that was drawn an outer waist,
in loose folds, headed by flat loops of
cherry ribbon. The sleeves were very
full puffs, which did not begin until be-
low the slope of the shoulders Many ad

Another spring costume was of print
ed cashmere in several shades Of purple
and tan cloth. The skirt aud collar. also

on white, cream or pale tinted ground
They are crisp and delicious TO the touch
Three yards and a half are required for
one Of these sashes. There is pretty
new shade of lavender where the bal
ance is in favor of pink rather than
blue. These ribbons are only intended
for wear with the delicate and sheer
fabrics.
For the cotton goods and for grass
linens there will be muct- black velvet
ribbon used. Stock collars, cuffs, bows,
rosettes and many other devices will be
made of velvet ribbon, either black or
in some dark, solid color. They will be
made so that they can be easily removed
for laundry purposes. Satin ribbon in
white cream, pale pink or blue is made
up into wrinkled stock collars, and each
has wide bow, often with fringed ends,
in the back. These are made over stiff
material, and they are extremely becom
ing. When the belt and other accessories
are of dark velvet, there is often an or
namentation of the same colored velvet
ribbon in very narrow width, not over
one.sixteenth of an inch wide. This is
dark prussian blue and eminence purple
are colors much affected for this trim
ming, but black and very dark green
give the best effects.
The new grass linens are called by
half dozen different names, and their
use will be general. They are often call
ed linen grenadines and linen batistes
They vary in shade from IA silvery fiaxen
tint to "A dark, muddy green through all
the ecru and ficelle tints. However you
find them, or under whatever name, they
are lovely. Some Of them are so woven
that they show openwork designs, and
these are called grenadines. To be per-
feet they should be made up over per-
caline or taffeta lining. They do not
wash well, as they lose the distinctive
color which the raw flax gives.
| saw one of the new swiss muslins
made up yesterday. The swiss was torn
into strips five inches wide, and between
them were set rows of gauze ribbon of
soft rush green with black dots. The
swiss was dotted with white, and the
whole was made up over a light skirt Of
rose pink taffeta, with two pinked rutfles
at the bottom. The pink showed family
through the muslin and ribbon, and the
effect was exquisite.
If that was exquisite, do not know
how to describe the new batistes print
ed in cashmere patterns. There is such
"a tumble of color, all SO delicate and
transparent that at first one makes ont
nothing but the general effect, but after
awhile the palm leaves and intricate
scroll pattern begin to define themselves,
and one sees the design, which is really
too beautiful for description. There are
some new ginghams called "embroider-
ed ginghams, but their title to that
comes from openwork stripes between
stripes of plain tints. These ginghams
are as pretty as any silks and must be
treated with respect in the making and
wearing The large sashes will be sent
out with these materials, as well as the
sheerer lawns. Percales are SO unusual
| ly pretty this season that every one
wants one. They look SO well after

was Dutch missionary and her mother
an English woman. She seems to have
all the imagination Of a recluse and
mystic, but she appears, also, to have
some good common sense, for when Lon
don went wild over the rapid advance in
the Kaffir mining shares, she sounded
the warning that brought the gambling
to a sudden stop and nearly created a
panic. She gave facts and figures prov
ing that nine-tenths of the South Afri-
can mines listed on the London Mining
Stock Exchange were undeveloped, and
that many did not even consist of hole
in the ground. Her onslaught was so
sudden and 80 overwhelming that Bar
ney Barnato and the other agents Of
Rhodes were nearly swept off their feet.
She married member of parliament
named Kronwright, but as he regards
her as the more prominent member of
the family he has considerably added
her name to his, and now they are
known as Mr.. and Mrs. Kronwright-
Schreiner. She is now engaged in max
ing speeches, writing articles and carry
ing ON what South Africa has named a
"petticoat" campaign, with the help
of her husband and women in South
Africa, to keep Cecil Rhodes out of the
governing business.
Mrs. Schreiner believes that Rhodes
is largely responsible for the present
state of affairs and is enslaving the
poor and making the rich more rich.
She deplores that in a new country,
where socialism should be feasible, the
conditions in the old nations are result
ing. To her the idea that one man
should simply own such an enormous
amount of the virgin soil and of mineral
wealth, which belong as much to one
man as to another is atrocious and not
to be endured.

The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale Of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup Of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge OF the
Company and its products. The
great value OF the remedy rs u medi-
cinal agent, and of the CUmpany's
efforts, is attested by the sale OF
millions of battles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose Of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy, which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more beue-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manuiact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant Co the taste, and hcalthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to Ice incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneticially.
II in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but il
in need of II laxative, then one
should have the bes. and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
