Grass lawn seems to have taken 8 new
lease OF life and bids fair to become
a greater favorite even than it proved
last summer. It appears in 50 many
beautiful effects that it is certainly
hard to pass By in making a selection
of summer textiles. Fine sheer grass
lawn is to be worn over daintily-colored
glace silks. many of which are first ac-
cordion-plaited.
The lowered muslins intended for
dresses, blouses and Marie Antoinette
fichus are particularly fine in quality
and exquisite IN design and coloring.
SurpIee or crossed bodiees r very de-
sirable when transparent materials are
used, and fashion is for once consistent
and favors this graceful form of bodice.
When the figure is high, the slightly
bloused front is approved. The dropped
textile should be transparent. In this
case. while giving apparent length to.
the waist, the airiness of the material
does not impart an appearance of thick
ness to it.
The designers OF the latest French
pelerines, hchus and yoked-shoulder
capes show a decided Partially orlace
instead of chiffon or mousseline de sole
in the decorations of these dainty gar
ments.
Very many of the organdy and flow
cred and dotted muslin dresses have
plain-tinted batiste or lawn for the
foundation skirt and waist lining in
stead of the taffeta on which they were
formerly mounted. The batiste lining
makes a cooler gown, and a more dain-
ty, If a little less rich looking one, and
this soft lining can be had in all the
pretty shades of pink, lilac, yellow,
green or other tints that form the back
grounds of figured muslins.

II Is to Connect Scotland with to
North of Ireland.
1t is said that the British governmef
is considering a plan for the create
submarine tunnel ever attempted.
to connect a point in Scotland just nor
of Point Patrick with a point in IL
land west of Carrickfergus. The est
mated cost is $4,000, 900. The plan
being submitted by a syndicate. 1t
argued that the traffic would ina
uay a handsome rate of interest on til
investment. This would require a ne
profit of $1,000, 900 a year. Other planA
to connect the divided parts OF Greae
Britain have been considered impraq'
ticable because of the nature OF TN
current at the points proposed. Blu
the present plan is considered by many
| to be feasible and the commercial eye
of the English nation is not likely tc
allow the plan to fail if good fnancia
results can be hoped for. On a basis Q!
miles, the new route would be longe'
than by sea voyage. But it would b.
available in all kinds of weather, Will
the Irish sea is at no time a placid bod,
of water. Further, it is much easier 7
ship goods by rail than by water. Their
is a great saving of time in loading an
unloading. Many of the railroad line
of England and Scotland run direct t
Point Patrick and others could easil
be extended. A great infusion of con
mercial energy, which is now conspicl
ously lacking. would be given to Ir'
land. The methods of tunnel buildin
in use at the present day have mao
such an enterprise possible and con
raratiyely easy.

Ruddhi.t Prover Wheels.

To so great an extent have the Japan
csc adopted European methods and
models that an enterprising Buddhist
has adapted the bicycle to serve the
needs of the praying wheel as used by
tie followers of his creed. Instead of
.s+taching the written prayer to the
customary wheel, which is generally
turned by a convenient stream of run
ming water, the new vogue is to fix the
PRAYER to the hub of the bicycle wheel,
SO that the faster the rider can pedal
the better he can pray. Although there
appears to be a spice of sacrilege in the
practice, it is apparently catching on
for rumor has it that American firms
are already preparing machines with
Buddhist collects embossed on the
tires, so that the bicycle will become
an instrument Of pleasure and a prayer
book combined.

ference of Populists at the same
time and place and expects Chair

to do so, however.
