with those square sack boleros which
give such straight, square effect to the
figure, but are chic and attractive when
the waist is small and neatly finished.
Gowns of cloth or fine serge are
shown, smartly trimmed, for afternoon
wear, and very simple arrangement of
fiat silk or m,hair braid, with very mar
row tinsel or sequin passementerie laid
close up to it, has quite an elaborate
effect. Many of the new basques are
tight and plain all round.
Women in Paris are wearing blouse
jackets, with short, closely shaped
basques with the waist tightly belted,
and the blouse hanging over slightly all
round. These blouse jackets, or Russian
blouses, are decorated in a variety of
styles, but many open inst above the
bust and are turned back, with large
sailor collars in white cloth. This is a
pretty style for morning wear in blue
serge, trimmed white or fawn cloth,
and blue silk braid. Tucked boleros are
accompanied by skirts with closely set
tucks grouped round the hips-a style
only suitable to very slight or straight
figures.
For midsummer wear are coat cos
tunes made in combination of cloth
and crash. The cloth which forms the
body of the costume is in point of fact a
why sort of serge named etamine and
very light, cool and durable. Coat
costumes are, as usual, made in all lin
en- and cr;s h
Just at present royal blue is a pop
ular color for tailor costumes, but
heather tweeds, fawn coatings and gray
faced cloths are all fashionable, and
both gray and fawn are likely to be
worn throughout the summer. Neutral
tints are most adaptable with bright
colored vests, and several vests of di-
verse color may be provided with each
costume. Blouse vests with pouch fronts
are worn with deep swathed belts, fas-
tened with paste buttons, and lawn and
cambria vests for morning wear are
generally finished with belts of white
or fawn colored leather and fancy met
al buckles.
The we'll dressed cyclist does not de-
pend upon fnery for her smartness, but
upon the cut of her garments, and when
ever practicable it is worth the expense
to let tailor turn out the cycling cos.
tune. A long skirt for cycling is not
only uncomfortable, but dangerous. A
we'll cut coat, loose fronted, worn with
blouse or shirt, is the only correct and
practical thing to wear where work is
meant. All tight Innings, superfuous
trimmings, etc., should be discarded.
1t goes without saving that an over
trimmed hat is out of place on bicycle.
The fashion is growing for wearing
golf stockings and low shoes

Frocks For Small Girls.

sary, /" writes Emma M. Hooper in The
Ladies' Home Journal, ito set aside
certain fabrics for little girls wear, as
nowadays they wear everything that
their mothers do except real lace and
jewels. Care is taken, however, to use
only small patterned materials for their
frocks. In eolors, white is always in
good taste, also baby blue and pink, and
this spring green is very much in vogue,
as well as golden brown, red, French
and navy blue, pearl gray and pale
yellow. Black is used only as trim
ming in velvet ribbon or mohair braid.
Satin and taffeta ribbons are used as
trimmings, also white. yellowish and
linen colored embroideries. Valen-
ciennes and net top laces are used in
white and butter shades with insertion

just arrived from Europe. The report
proved true, and worst of all, the evil
dence of their guilt was found upon them.
When the inspectors searched Lang horne,
they found belt containing diamonds,
jewelry and watches. Similar articles
were found in Mr.. Gcruggs' pockets.
Valuable lace was also captured. Thu

Mr.. Scruggs' explanation is that he
Bought the jewelry for the teachers of the
ST. Louis Sunday School union, of which
he is the president, and that be was told

Nevertheless he was very careful to con-
ceal the articles upon his person and made

Soft Water For tbs. Toilet.

If you would keep your skin and
complexion in good condition, beware
of washing in hard water. Endeavor to
obtain filtered rainwater if possible.
If this cannot be procured, the water
must be softened by an artificial proc
ess. Here is a recipe for good water
softener in the form of a powder: b.
rax, in powder, half an ounce; white
CASTLE soap, powdered, half an ounce;
orris root, two ounces; wheat -four, two
ounces; almond meal, three ounces; oil
of bitter almonds, five drops; oil of
bergamot, one dram. Mix thorough
ly. Add tablespoonful of this to the
water in which you intend washing the
face about two hours before using A
cheaper powder may be made by mix
ing together three ounces of fine ground
oatmeal, three ounces of fine almond
meal and half an ounce of borax

TAILOR MADE GOWNS.
COAT AND SKIRT COSTUMES FOR
STREET AND CYCLING.

Distinctive Features That Characterize the
Linen and Crash Costumes For Midsum-
Wear.
Good style and cut are characteristic
of the TAILOR made gowns. Plain and
braided skirts with zouave or eton jack
cts are the dominant idea, but abroad
there is distinct reaction in favor of
coats made rather long and perfectly
plain in the basque. Goats with short,
close fitting basques, opening in front
to show vest, are worn with the leath-
er belt outside, but this fashion re-
quires long, slender waist, as the belt
necessarily shortens the figure and tends
to enlarge the waist. The ribbon sash
with hanging loops is very becoming
with boleros or the short eton coat or

Fashion Echoes.

There is nothing like good serge
gown as piece de resistance for the
summer outfit.
Very new and practical for skirt
making is silk moTeen, which comes ex-
tremely wide and in pretty colors and
plaids.
The preference is for gloves in suede
kid this season. Soft shades of tan,
mastic, yellow and gray are much used.
Black and white wells are the present
fancy.
Golf stockings are being very gener.
ally adopted for cycling.
White canvas belts embroidered in
colored silks are fastened with silver
gilt buckles.
Rings are worn in such numbers as to
create demand for several styles, hence
the solitaire, hoop, princess and two
stone rings are all in fashion.

VARIOUS NOTES.

New Jackets and Pussy Little Capes-Ge-
ranium q Fashionable Color.
Corselets are still in favor, and they are
no longer necessarily associated with the
bolero, as they have been during the past
winter. They adorn evening gowns and
theater bodices, being frequently of a con-
trasting color. The bolero has not disap-
peared, however, being seen on many of
the new models.
Capes have it no longer all their own
way, jackets having reappeared in force.
But the cape continues to be a fashionable
feature, however, being ruffled, frilled and
furbelowed to an incredible extent and
worn for dress occasions The present
capes are very short and excessively trim.

looking. Several different materials are
often combined in them, sometimes as
many colors. Flowers, feathers and lace
are employed in profusion for them in all
sorts of original and fantastic ways

fashionable at present for gowns, acces
