The words were spoken by a plainly

ward of a handsome dwelling at the
corner of the avenue. and were ad-
dressed to a large Newfoundland dog

and the last was Of the gray taffetas
The bottom of the skirt was trimmed
with a broad facing of black satin Tat
was broader at the back than at the
front. At the top of the facing there
were six narrow circular ruflles-two
of black satin, two of the gray taffeta
and two Of white satin, alternating.
Above the ruffles were two narrow bias
folds of the white satin, arranged in
sort of swirling line.
The corsage was blouse al white
mousseline de sole over Viii satin, and
was drawn down loosely into higf
black satin girdle. Over the colsage
was worn a bolerO of gray tdfletd. II
was cnt with two long pollt; under
each arm that fell over the girdle and
reached to the top Of the skirt. The
edges of the bo,ero were finished with
a broad facing of white satin trimmed
at the top with two narrow bias folds
CT the same satin. There were small
pointed double revers of black satin
over white. The sleeves Of taffeta were
long. close fitting coat sleeves draped at
the top.
Down the front of the corsage there
were double ruffles of the white NOUS
seine de sole, bordered with narrow
black satin ribbons, and rufIle of the
same mounted the collar
In no case is the summer skirt left
untrimmed if the modiste has her own
way. Malicious persons CLAIM that the
dressmaker insists upon trimmed skirts
because it is impossible for an unskilled
seamstress to make one at home. The
plain skirts in vogue for the past two
years were so easily accomplished at
home that only those well fixed in
this worlds goods purchased them out
right. A few yards of cloth or satin,
and you had your skirt. But with the
new trimmed skirts it is quite diff
ferent. The trimming is both elaborats
and difficult.
Rufies are freely used, but they are
lined and "tailor-mad The neatest
finish is put on them. The rufie is
stitched along the edge and is made as
trim" as though it were the most inn
portant part of the dress, as neat as tina
pocket in tailor-made jacket. 1t is
stitched on the skirt in the same neas

jabot fashion to the bottom Of the
bolero. There were two tall turnover
collars to this jacket; one was Of the
violet velvet, and over it was smaller
collar of white satin.
The sleeves, which were close-fitting
as far as the elbow, were made of solid
violet velvet. Above the elbows they
were mounted by five narrow folds of
the embroidered velvet, with high full
puffs at the top.
The hat that was worn with this tot
let was of rough straw in deep shade
of violet. Under the brim there was a
full ruche of ciel blue mOusseline de
sole. A long white plume started from
the left side of the crown, where there
was a bunch of deep violet feathers.
1t continued around the crown and fell
over the brim at the back, where it
rested on the hair. A stunning, tall
blond American girl wore chic gown
that was much admired
The skirt was full gOdet Of hunters
green silk poplin, with the fulness all
carried to the back. 1t was trimmed
round with six narrow bias folds OF
white MORE. Three of the bands
trimmed the skirt at the hips, ard three
trimmed the bottom of the skirt.
AN ORIGINAL CORSAGE.
The corsage was blouse Of white
MORE, with short full basques. 1t but
toned double-breasted fashion with two
big pearl buttons, and at the neck
turned back in small pointed revers to
show chemisette Of fulled white
mousseline de sole. The edges Of the
revers were trimmed with double frills
of white mOusseline de sole. The sleeves
were the new coat sleeves with very
little fullness at the tops. A note OF
narrow black was introduced into this
toilette with the narrow black velvet
belt and high tour de cou of black
mousseline de sole. Long black suede
gloves worn with this toilette rather
accentuated this note of black
The original little hat of this toilette
was of rough black straw. 1t was
trimmed around the crown with pisse
of broad white MORE ribbon, and at the
foot of the plisse there was a wreath of
pale yellow roses. At the back and
little to the left side there was tail
bow of hunters green velvet.

GOWNS FOR GAY WOMEN.
Exquisitely Neat Toilets for the Races

Americans at the Grand Prix-They

Buy Pretty Dresses-All the New
skirts Are Trimmed.

Paris. June Pit is a wonder to me
that Parisiennes ever dare to plan their
toilets for especial occasions ahead OF
time in this fitful climate of theirs.
We are treated to days of intense
heat, uncomfortably chilly days, thun-
der and hail storms, all within the
space of week.
Last month we were even treated to
light fall of snow, and all the May
blossoms and bright green leaves glis-
tened with covering of snow at least
for two hours one morning.
But Notwithstanding these changes
of the weather the "grande danes OF
Paris plan their toilets for the Grand
Prix" way ahead of time.
If her ladyship's taste runs to chill
fon or mousseline de sole gowns, she
chooses one and has it cut a tribe
souare-necked or "V"-necked, so that
if might we'll be mistaken for dinner
gown. and this she dons for the Grand
Prix.
If the day of the Grand Prix is rainy
day, or a chilly day, on the chiffon or
mousseline de sole gown goes just the
same. 1t is certainly day of great
toilets.
A DRESS OCCASION.
Sometimes one is advised to sit near
the gates of the Boies to watch the
"grande danes" drive by in all their
glory to the Longchamp track. But
there one misses the exquisite details
of the toilets. The grand stands pre-
sented a blaze of color with bright
shades of violet-bluette blue and scarlet
in the ascendancy.
The groups of Americans and English
were rather conspicuous on account OF
their more sombre toilets.
While slipping my iced coffee at the
famous little Longchamp Moulin be-
tween races, l got good look at s'me
very fetching costumes. They were
not as extravagant as a great many Of
the toilets, but they were in such ex-
quisitely good taste.
One of these gowns had a skirt of vio-
let cloth, not very deep in tint. 1t was
a godet skirt with all Of the fulness
falling in folds at the back. At each
seam of the front gore there were mar
row panels of white satin inserted.
These were covered with white gauze
embroidered heavily in gold, and there
was trimming Of gold applique at
each hip.
ALL IN GEL BLUE.
The corsage was a full blouse Of ciel
blue foulard over blue satin. Ger it
was worn a bolero of deep violet velvet
embroidered in gold. The bolero was
cut short and straight around. At the
front it had broad pointed revers that
were faced with white satin and fell

rhinestone buckle. then the cloth af-
fects another slash like thoss on the
skirt and opens over an insertion of
mauve velvet. to which it is likewise
fastened by tiny velvet buttons. On
the left shoulder another graceful bow
of mauve velvet ribbon with long loops
and ends, falls over the arm and is
held b. a buckle. The back of the bod
ice is seamless, the cloth being cut
bias and drawn over the form to fit
without wrinkle. The close-fitting
sleeve and high standing collar also
stimulate the slash trimming and the
mauve velvet forms a becoming far
ing cuff. Another smaller bow and
buckle decorate the right side Of the
collar. A hat of crink!ed mauve tat
feta with velvet brim and trimmed with
a Understanding mauve plume and al
grette and rhinestone buckle on one side
and a bunch of vioIets on the other
completes this simple but striking
gown.

I noticed several white pique corsages
made after the same model as this
MORE corsage. They were worn witt
skirts of different material.
Baronne de la Rouel, one of the at
tractive young June brides, wore such
a pretty gown of gray taffeta that was
trimmed with black and white satin.
The skirt was a godet. with a very
moderate flare, and all the fulness was
carried to the back. 1t was trimmad
around the hips with two narrow bias
folds of white satin that formed a
noint at the front. Just below the folds
were three narrow circular ruffies, one
Of black satin. another of white satin.

way. and, when done. can bear ispec-
ton from underneath as well as on top.
Many Of the new skirts have over
skirts of different material; and great
dressmakers like Worth predict that by
the time summer is over the plain, I'M
trimmed skirt will be almost Gothic in
appearance, so out Of style that it has
a came out Of the Ark" look.
OF course there is mourning and lam
entation over the new order OF things,
but when Dame Fashion speaks, what
is there TO do but obey-or die!

MIR. Bciquo said that lie wished the words
:" good faith " TO be understood in their strictly
legal sense, and that the rule OF common law in
the United States, as vol as In Great Britain,
was not at variance with the rule Of interna-
ti0nal law, that 1t was incumbent upon the
United States to give Great Britain notice OF
the seizures.
In the Geneva. argument the United States
counsel did not hesitate to use the strongest
language. and he said all that could be said
eEnins, the acts Of omission OF Great Britain.
Great Britain did not take offence, and had no
cause for offence. A lawyer at the bar should
have some freedom in making his argument.
Mr.. Beique urged that the damages were aggra-
vatcd by the dilatory course after the seizures.
The facts would indicate that Injuries had been
wilfully inflicted upon the claimants.
The United States asserted that damages
could not be given for wounded national honor.
Great Britain. perhaps. could not receive such
money without lowering her dignity, hut the
dignity ofGrcat Britain as well as Of the United
States demanded that all injuries to private
persons should be repaired.

KILLED ERECTING 4 rIRE-EsCAPE
A hoard on which FHrbermann stood Dis
lodEed-His Assistant Fails from Fright.

Max Farbermann. a blacksmith. of 25 Canal
street. was killed yesterday afternoon while
at work at a synagogue Mt 200 Madison street.
Dalenitz Wolf OF lOl Monroe street, who was
assisting him. was also badly injured. but will
probably recover.
An old mission house at 2o9 Madison street
Is being remodellcd with a view TO using it as
n synagogue. Farbermann had the job OF put.
ting in the ftre-escapes. He began his work yes
terday morning. and had screwed TO the wall of
the adjacent building. In the rear OF the syna-
Rogue, a long iron pillar. Across the top of
this, and extending to another upright on the
other side OF the building. an IRON bar was run.
In order to oversee the work FarberInann ran q
board from the second-story back window to
this bar, which was on a level with u window.
On this he stood while directing his men.
In the placing OF the iron support against the
brick wall 1t had been brought too close 70 the
rear wall OF the synagogue, and 1t became nee
esSary to move IL several inches further out.
F~arbernann stood on his improviscd scafolding
and ordered Wolf TO go up u ladder. remove the
bolts. and pull tho support out a few inches.
Wolf did exactly as he WIS told. He pulled
the support out. and the board on which Far
hermann was standing slipped of the top bar.
The blacksmith plunged into the b sement be-
meath. His head was crushed and he died in q
few minutes. Wolf was so frightened by Far
bermRnn's fall that he tumblcd from the ladder
and WAS badly cut on the bricks in the yard.
He WAS removed to Gouverneur Hospital. Far

SUES HER FORMER HUSBAND.
Mrs. Norma ". Jones Demands $40. 600
Damages fur Alleged Islander.

WASHINGTON. Sept. IA novel suit was filed
here this afternoon by Norma W. Jones against
her former husband. w. II. Wills. q pension
attorney, for 10000 for alleged libel. Mrs.
Jones was once Norma W. Wills, and she was q
partner in her husbands firm of W. II. Wills s.
Co., hut they did not get along together, either
In private or business life, so they decided to
separate. Mrs Wills secured IA divorce, and
they divided their business between them.
Some time ago Mrs. Wills married Robert c.
Jones. although she still continued in business
under the name of y. W. Wills e. Co.
Then Mr.. Wills brought IL suit against
her TO restrain her. from getting mail
addressed to W. II. Wills & Co., al.
though, according to the contract. they were
each to have the mail regarding the cases pend
ing at tho time OF the separation addressed in
care of the old firm. Mrs. Wills. now Mrs.
Jones, responded, and as a result a receiver was
appointed by the Court to take care OF the mail.
Mrs. Jones now claims that her former husband
had n circular published, in which he called the
attention OF all clients to the number of
bogus and fraudulent attorneys, He also had
inserted in the newspapers ad advertisements call
ing attention TO his suit against his former wife,
and telling his clients to be very careful to ad.
dress the letters correctly. or they might fall
into her hands. For this Mrs. Jones thinks she
Is entitled TO $50, 600 damages.
