and beads. The sleeves are tight fitting,
but widen slightly at the top, and the
bodice opens in front over light blue
chiffon. This is quite out of the ordinary.
and the effect is excellent.
If we have to be fashionable and want
to be economical at the same time, one of
the incest ways to accomplish our end is
to have gowns of thin material, to be worn
over different silk Innings. One charming
summer gown of white muslin which l
saw had strips of embroidery and lace in
sertion let in at intervals, and was made
up over shot rose and yellow silk. But it
was quite distinct and detachable, and
could be worn over changeable Innings.
Another one, arranged in the same way,
was of black satin spotted grenadine, with
four or five little frills at the hem. This
was designed 20 wear over black or white,
alternately, at the owner pleasure. This
last idea is especially good, and practi-
cally provides two handsome costumes at
little more than the cost of one.
Some of the gowns for evening wear are
very tempting-more so than some of us
wish they were. White, always beautiful
and suitable, is particularly in favor for
summer wear and will be extensively worn.
particularly pretty evening dress is of
chine thrown on white ground, on which
is white brocade as well as a chine de-
sign. 1t is made with bolero OF the silk,
lined with white satin aud turned back, so
that the sides OF the JACKIE: almost form

down one side of the bodice and continued
down the opposite side of the tablier. On
the other side was trim ming of mauve

and falling on the skirt. The whole was
made up to wear over white silk.
One OF the prettiest ideas in the return
to the early Victorian period, of which
we hear so much Just at present, is very
elegant cloak. 1t is made of fuchsia-col-
ored velvet in cape fashion, short in the
back, and having long ends in front. The

ings, through which the tints of the vel
vet CLEAN IN the most fascinating way.
The lining is of rich brocade, harmonic
ing in color with the material. For even
ing and general dress wear, nothing hand
somer could even be imagined.
Among other new hats for summer,
saw some very effective ones for those of
us who are in half-mourning. 1t is not
particularly easy to find something de-
sirable in this line, so these merit a word
or two. One in particular was especially
attractive. II was trimmed with a num-
Der of tulle rosettes, white ones on one
side and black ones on the other. From
the center of these comes a straight os-
prey with curIed piece waving toward
the back over a white ostrich feather. Be-
meath the brim was bunch of white car
nations tipped with mauve. Another
style, with more color in it, was a hat of
violet straw draped with mauve tulle and
trimmed with masses of many-hued con-
volvuli.
A great consideration at this time o. the
year is gown that will stand the wear
and tear inseparable from the gayeties OF
the season, and at the same tim- present
smart and dressy appearance. One such
costume is OF ecru canvas m ade up over
blue, the canvas allowing the color be-
meath TO show through. The bodice is
trimmed with embroidered iisse, the
bolder flowers in the design being also of
the blue. Blue chiffon, in a deep double
frill, finishes the front OF the bodice. The
skirt is formed of the canvas. entirely dis
tinct from the silk beneath, and is en-
bfoidered all around the bottom. An
other frock. also very durable, is a very
open check gauze of pale green, made up
over blue, ana very hand somely trimmed
with guipure laid over emerald green vel
vet.
Here is something quite original in
design. The material is a soft silk.

OF two or even three old dresses-indeed
they could not be better used. For ex-
ample, truly lovely is tea gown of pink
cashmere, the front being of pink and
white brocade, soft lace encircles the
neck, which is cut down square very
slightly in front, and extends down either
side to the foot of the garment. The ell
bow sleeves are of the brocade. but are
surmounted with small bows of the CASH
mere veiled with the lace. Two small
bows OF satin ribbon appear to hold in
place the lace that borders the square
cut neck, and at the waist-line is a we'll
tied bow with four loops and two short
ends. A lace frill completes the sleeves,
and it is beaded with a ribbon tied in a
risky bow. The gown has short train.
ana as 1t falls over can be seen two small
Iace-edged ruffies OF the brocade.
While admiring this gown it is difficult
10 realiza that the pink cashmere did duty
ali last winter as while dress, but the
owner mad 1t dyed to match the pink roses
on the orocade, purchased FIVE yards of
PINK satin ribbon, and had some good old
lace mende ed and cleaned. The brocade
was once dinner gown, which did good
service in its day.
A handsome grandmother pos.e.ses a
tea gown that is certainly very smart. but
then it has just come from the hands of a
well-known dressmaker. The richest
black broche silk composes it, the front
being OF white silk, down which are twelve
lines of two-inch-wide black lace inser-
tions; placed at regular intervals between
each of them are three rows of black baby
velvet ribbon. The front is finished with
deep rutfis of lace; the same drapes
either side, edges the deep cape like far
ing sleeve tops and fails gracefully over
the slender hands; it likewise forms two
sort of little wings at either side OF the
standing collar OF insertion. The sleeves
are of the black silk, with three insertions
over white silk. The gown is lined with
white surah, and has two white lace edged
ruffies

you should take a spin on your wheel on

poured in on him. Before ne could give

His cries brought two plumbers to his
aid, and while one held him by the
hands the other rushed for assistance
Word was sent to a fire truck house

spot with shOvelS and began digging
the man out. Their efforts appeared
TO be Of no avail as the sand entered
faster than it could be shoveled out.
The imperiled man called for a priest.

Their Favor.

. Their Favor.
San Francisco. July 6.-United States
Circuit Judge Morrow rendered a de-
clsion in the famous Blythe case this
afternoon, which was in the nature of a
SIT rise. He ordered a decree entered
in favor OF the English Blvthes. as
prayed for in their cross-complaint, by
default. and in his findings made sew
eral rulings which are in direct conflict
with those of the state courts. Among
other things. it is held that Florence
Blythe was born an illegitimate child
in 1878. when her progenilors were sub
jects Of Great Britain. 1t is further
ds-reed that neither Florence Blythe
Hinckley, John W. Blythe nor Henry T
Bl--the have any legal claim to the
property, and that their claims are
fraudulent. The next of kin to the late
Thomas H. Blythe are declared to be
as follows:
Alexander and William Jones, James
Maudsley, Elizabeth Jacques, Robert
Dover, Hannah Monk, Jane Page.
James Blythe and Elizabeth B. Page
and George Page.
Under this ruling it is considered very
probable that Mrs. Florence Blythe

she has fought so hard and bitterly for
during the past ten. years.
