The use of lace insertion as a trimming
TO thin dresses could not be exploited more
unless the whole dress was made of it,
Still it Is so very pretty that its use must
be excused. One very elegant and dainty
manner of applying the mechlin insertion
is worth detailed description. First there
was skirt of apple green organdie, with
a large pattern in faint pinks and purple
upon it. The skirt was gored over IA taf-
feta lining. At the bottom there was a
deep ruille made of plated green silk mus
lin the exact shade of the green in the
gown. This ruflle had two fat rows Of
mechlin insertion around the bottom.
The top was cut in deep vandyke notChes
and headed by row of mechlin insertion.
That gave the skirt delioiously airy ap-
pearance. The bodice was in Russian
blouse form, with nOtched pattern of
lace insertion around it just above the
belt. The sleeves had puffs of the or
candle, and all down the lower part was
spiral of the insertion. 1T was finished
at the wrists with lace There was a plated
bertha of the silk muslin with two rows
of the insertion. This was slashed at the
shoulder for caps. At the neck thsre was
dark green velvet collar, with white silk
null tie In front. Another of the mani
fold uses of lace insertion consists of laying
1t over velvet ribbon or some other color,
so as to bring out some special design.
There was an orange Colored wool barege,
the skirt plain, save for millinGr round
fold around it, low in front and high in
the back, to give the much liked tablier
shape. The bodice was surplice, with a
sight tendency toward blouse. 1t had a
lace plastron in front puffed, and with a
jabot frill down the center. Around the
edges and the caps to the sleeves was a
black velvet ribbon overlaid with white
lace insertion. The collar and belt were
of black velvet. This was very stylish
gown, and hat to match was furnished
in fine black chip, trimmed with striped
gauze ribbon Va the same rich shade and
color. MATE LEROY.

dress. The gown was of white linen duck,
the skirt in five cores Around the bottom
were three rows Of navy blue hercules braid.
The bodice was simple, old fashioned
sailor blouse of tho duck, and held in at
the waist by an elastic. It hung over so
that 1t touched the skirt all around. There
was wide saihlr collar of dark blue linen,
with white tape braid sewed on In battle-
ment points all around the sailor collar
and also the high dog collar. The vest
front was of the blue linen, with bars of
the white tape. The sleeves were full
bishop shape, with deep cuffs Of the blue
linen trimmed like the collar. The collar
was fastened with the regulation sailor tic
The novelty" of this is that no grown per-
son, or girl either, wears the sailor blouse
any more, or at least has not for several
years, the nearest approach to II being the
shirt waist, with sailor collar. So this
was refreshing to eyes tired of the shirt
waist-so trim when properly worn 80
slovenly when carelessly fastened. The
white vests under open jackets are also
most pleasing when properly adjusted, but
are so dowdy when not.
There was n dainty grass linon gown in
one place today. The color was greenish
drab. On the skirt were six bias folds, each
piped along the upper edge. Between these
folds were sewed double ruches of narrow
butter oolored valonciennes lace, like those
seen last summer. There was derby
jacket of the linen, edged all around with a
similar ruche. The vest was smooth, white
duck, with many small pearl buttons down
the front. A white Chemisette and turn
down collar and eeranium red tic made
the whole suit pretty and neat
There Is quite quantity Of this narrow
yalenoionnes used to trim with now. Some
Is white, some yellow; some Is in full
ruches, and in other cases 1t Is sewed fiat.
On the thin lawn and other diaphanous
dresses this lace is sewed fat to the edge
of the ruflles. These continue in their
popularity, and very many-in fact, fully
half--the gowns from cotton to silk
have more or less ruflling. These rufiles
are of the dress goods or of some other ma.
terial or color like chiffon, batiste, silk
muslin and what is called "footing bands"
of net. This is bemmed and accordion
plated. Some of the gowns have very
deep Spanish flounces, graduated In depth
the back portion being much higher than
the front, so that the skirt itself looks like
an apron over the tlounoe Sometimes
this footing is set in on the bottom of the
skirt, giving it beautiful, lacelike effect
At other times two or three ruffles of the
footing are set around the flounoe. Some
times 1t Is gathered in the center and
made very full and sewed down at the cen
] ter. This is verv effective on hodi"ns

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty. four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
a diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen 1t is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre-
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
Terhe is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's

in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and

corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad eff.
fects following use of liquor, wine or

TESTING GRAVEL FOR GOLD.

Of -four" he says, 100 pounds Of
beans, 100 pounds of bacon, 100 pounds
Of sugar, 10 pounds of tea, 80 pounds Of
coffee, $50 pounds of dried fruit, salt,
pepper and cooking utensils. The whole
outfit will cost about 500, but it will
cost at least S15 pound to get it to
camp. Even then he will find that his
supplies will have cost him much less
than he could purchase them for in
camp, and he will be insured against
starvation.
The mining in the Klondike region is
all placer mining. Gold is found in the
bed Of the creek, or what was a creek
ages ago. Now it is gravel frozen as
hard as asphalt. 1t is not on the surface
either. The way the Klondike prospect
or goes about his work is not an easy
one He builds big bonfire over a
| likely spot and let's it burn all night.
In the morning the ground has been
thawed so that he can dig down couple
of feet. Then he repeats the operation
until he sinks hole about . feet deep.
If he has not struck pay dirt in that
time, he gives it up.
But most of them do strike gravel
that is full of gold. Then they go ON
thawing and digging until they get
down to bedrock, where the nuggets
are the thickest This kind of work is
something for which no one but a strong
man is fitted for. A weakling could not
stand it.
All last winter the Klondike miners
worked in this manner, although the
thermometer often stood at 80 and 40
degrees below zero. When they cleaned
up their gravel, they reaped rich re-
ward. Half ounce and ounce nuggets
were plenty, and the dirt was rich in
smaller particles down to fine dust.
One Of the luckiest men who have come
back from Dawson City is Clarence Ber-
ry. Last winter he took out Of his claim
80 "box lengths Cf dirt a box length
being q by 8 feet. Out of this dirt he
took $3.50, 900 worth Of gold. In one
length he found $40, 600 worth Of pre-
oious metal. His largest nugget weighed
l3 ounces and was worth $231.
These are few facts about the Klon-
dixie region. In a month or two the
miners will again be shut in for the
winter, and next spring we may hear
more such stories, for it is claimed that
the fields of this frozen Eldorado hold
millions more Of virgin gold, awaiting
only the pick and shovel of the hardy
and daring argonaut.
