of the coming season. Violet and pur-
pie are almost common, and yet there
is something about violet, as about
black and white, that makes it seem
very good taste when arranged with
any eve at all. The frightful new
hats in a staring purple are unutter-
able ugly. Rather than to take it up,
wear a last springs hat or an early
fall one until the fashions are set
tied, and also until you know just
what you are going to have in the way
of clothes. The soft tailor hat is good
form all through the summer, if you
like, though you will not like it unless
you cannot help yourself

ECONOMY IN SILKS.

Silk poplins are among the protest
of the new goods, and will be worn
instead of taffetas and the lighter
silks. They will wear almost as well
as wool mOhair, of course they hang
much more prettily and they also
have more artistic lustre. India silks
are being shown with what is called
twist warp" which adds to their
consistency and wearing quality.

pepsia, melancholy, or what is supposed
to be liver or kidney affection or heart

STRAIGHT FROM THE TAILOR.

STRAIGHT FROM THE Tailor.
At this season a tailor gown of
brOadclOth, cashmere, serge or covert
is a good investment. Let the bodice
be perfect fitting, fastened at the side
with handsome frogginp, snd the skirt
be fairly full about the hem and close
at the hips, with several rows of braid
ing about the hem. the top worried
into scrolls. The tailor girl will wear
a stiff derby with this sort of a cos
tune. and can take her time looking
about for n more feminine spring
dress But even the tailor rigs are
permitted their softening touches,
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1897-04-11

the skirt trimmed with rows of red
satin ribbon banded with the three
rows Of narrow black chenille. Be
tween these were bands of black sat
in appliqued with red. On the bodice
were Il wide vest of red silk muslin
and bolero fronts of the changeable
silk whose lower parts were almost
covered with applique satin. Chen
lille and appliqued satin trimmed the
fashionable sleeves and belt of red
satin ribbon had long sash ends.
Elaboration continues in trimming
both skirts and bodices, till one needs
to be careful not to lose all restful-
ness of line in the riteratiOn of fold,
puff. frill and tuck. 1t is well, if the
bodice be much frilled, to encourage
long lines at the hips and skirt folds,
with possibly a burst of elaboration
at the hem, just to show that skirt
and bodice were planned to go tOgeth-
er.

i'll steel gray cloth, its skirt ornament
ed with narrow black soutache. The
jacket bodice fastened in the center
with overlapping tongues of the goods,
each one held by steel button. Its
collar was cut in one with the bod
ice and was edged with Il frilling of
lace, a lace jabOt escaping between the
fasteningS.
In a new design for an outing dress
the skirt is plain but for the strap fin
ish at all its seams, and Il very smart
waistcoat, of a brilliant plaid that
harmonizes with the solid color of the
skirt, fits to perfection. 1t is either
double breasted or single, comes to
very short point in front
and back, and is cut down at
the top and turned away
in Il pair of velvet-faced, mannish re-
vers that fit snugly. Above is a
smooth front white linen shirt, with
collar and narrow string tie. The jack
ct is plain cloth like the skirt, is bob,
bed short and is supposed to hang
open. Its collar rolls to the edge of
the coat. Now the real tailormade
girl says this is a hideOus mOngrel
That no true gentleman will show
the back of her waistcOat, that no true
waistcoat ought to have back. But
the model is jaunty and lots of us are
not so particular about the gentleman
illness of our tailor rigs, but that we
can wear what we like.

FAVORED HUEs IN MILLINERY.

Coral color is 4 most conspicuous

much exploited in all sorts of stores
that it promises to be Il shop COM
mon" before the season is well on.
Scarlet, too, is so plentiful, both in
hats and gowns, that women may be
diagnosed as having scarlet fever,
yet it is somehow safer from common
ness than is the coral shade. The ar
fist has put n scarlt hat here, a straw
with a moderate high crown and a
narrow brim, the latter covered with
Il ruching of gathered scarlet tulle.
The other trimming consisted of loops
of fancy scarlet and black ribbon,
black wings and small sprigs of scar
let geraninums disposed about the
crown, which was encircled with
twisted black and scarlet satin rib
bon.
Sailor shapes so crowded with trim
ming that all that shows of the straw
is the very edge of the brim will be
again worn, but it is always safe to
say that sailors in some modification
or other will be accepted of women.

There it is. decided whether or not the bonds shall be voted There it is often determined whether there shall be eight or nine months of school. There the vilfnge chronicles are spread upon tho great ledgers every day.
 Tho town banker supplies the money for every contest. If he is wise, he watches his little corner of tho world as a spider watches from his web. The great trust which he keeps requires knowledge of the details of tho game that men arc play ing around him, yet with all his power this town banker would be counted poor man in theoity.

LIE BRITISH NAVY.
An English Statesman Calls Attention to
 What He Calls Its Weakness.


 What He Calls Its Weakness.
 That the British navy should have an enormous force of cruisers is admitted on all sides. Yo have almost the whole of the merchant shipping of the world. If insur. ances are not to go up to prohibitiye rates on tho outbreak of war, or even on the ap- prehension of wnr, the ocean routes must he patrolled and the fast steamers of the enemy must be watched while every but tie fleet needs largo force of cruisers as its eyes or scouts, and there arc the visiting of coaling stations and the protection of cables also to receive attention.
 We hayo DO such cruisers as, for exam pie, the second Esmeralda, which belongs to Chile or even IS some of the new cruis- CTS of tho United States. We are proud to think that tho Esmeraldn is British built, but the Brooklyn, tho Columbia and tho other new cruisers of tho United States aro specimens of what can be built on tho western side of the Atlantic
 It may, however, be admitted that we have made great strides in recent years in cruiser building and that our attention for tho next two or three years will be direct ed toward two points which may give us moro anxioty. Our ironclad battleships are larger than those of France, and when we count numbers against he French sey- eral coast defense ironolads are brought into account on the side of France which are inferior in some respects to our own ships, but in order to fight the French in the Mediterranean, or to shut them in if they will not come out to fight we require ships which can carry coal to steam much greater distances than are needed by tho French.
 For purposes of blockade, size will not make up for numbers, aud yet if we give up blockade We enable our possible enemy, In the event of war, to look forward to es- caping from much of the pressure which we could otherwise apply to their policy, and to putting us to enormous inconven- fence. For blockade large superiority of numbers is admitted to be necessary, and we do not possess the necessary superiority in numbers even against Franco alone, still less as against France and Russia, to be able to blockade their feets I am counting Franco and Russia because that is the official computation. We are to have superiority over tho next two powers, and of these the ono is our great naval rival, while the othor Is the power which Is at the present moment the most rapidly creat- ing a great ironclad fleet.-Sir Charles W.

THE soJER BOYS.
Some of the Military Organizations at
 McKinley's Inauguration.

There were many different kinds of uni form, and tho men who wore them came from such great distances that their pres- ence in Washington brought home tho fact of how farreaching is the sway of the re- public and how broadlits territory. There were the Helnming guards, Texas volun- teers from Gainesville, Tex, who won their uniforms by scoring 977 at the state encampment, and who appeared in them at the inauguration. And near these new soldiers from the largest state was what is perhaps the oldest organization, from the smallest state, rthey Newport artillery, which antedates the Union and exists un- der charter from King George II in 1739, when England declared war on Spain-a charter which was ratified in 1782 by the Rhode Island general assem bly,. There was also the Fifth regiment of Maryland, which has reputation almost as great as that of the New York Seventh, and there was the Seventy first of that city, body which has it's nucleus in the American rifles. There was tine order of the Old Guard from the modern city of Chicago, but which is composed of descendants of men who fought in the Indian wars and French wars and in the wars of tho Revo- lution and of 1S12, and few members of the Medal of Honor Legion, to each of whom congress had voted medal for bravery on the field of battle. There were, too, the Shenandoah Valley Patriotic League from Virginia, formed of ex Con- federate soldiers and their sons, with tho motto, "Ihere should be no north, no south, no cast, no west, but n. common country" and delegation from the Har- mony Pre-Legion of Philadelphia, relic of the old Harmony Fire company, in helmets and red shirts.
 These arc but few of the organizations that passed up Pennsylvania avenue in the brilliant afternoon sunshine between cur tnins of fags with brass bands, every ono of them playing "El Capitan" or tho Washington Post March," These arc but few, but they illustrate tho varied ma ture of the procession. They represented, as it were, tho whole people. Richard Harding Davis in Harper's Magazine For August. s4.. 4.--.
