Caprices of Fashion.

Ruches of plated tulle or lsse not
only border the tuile skirts for ball
dresses, but form festoons above, which
would seem to point to the return of the
double skirt.
Green is much to be worn this spring
as well as during the summer months.
and, where the color is intense, braid
ing or embroidery in black tones down
the vivid coloring.
The turnover inch of linen collar has
been fashionable on "tailor-mades" and
blouses, and the idea is now carried out
in velvet and lace. Checkers are less
elaborate even on dressy costumes than
they were, but there is still a great
scope for original effects.
There are indications that the poppy
will be an extremely popular flower
this summer. Already red hats have
appeared which are decorated with pop
pies, shading from faint pink to deer
red. For dress use the purple hat, OF
purple straw, flowers and ribbons. is in
conspicuous evidence at the best shops

Turning Turf Into ConI,

Another plan for turning TO account

stood is reported from Scandinavia,
where savant has discovered method
of converting turf into coal. The turf
is placed in retorts and gradually heat
ed to $50 degrees. The retorts are then
closed and the temperature kept up fol-
seven hours. The tar and gas products
are thus retained in the coal mass to
The extent of 50 per cent, and the re-
sultant is said to contain 65 per cent.
Of carbon, 6 per cent. of hydrogen, 81
water and ) per cent. of ashes. Turf
coal gives about the same amount Of

both in Krupp's iron foundry and for
