ILLUSTRATIONS OF FASHIONS

Gowns for afternoon fetes and coun-
try games are given in the accompany
ing large illustration. The first figure
standing represents a periwinkle blue
grenadine delicately figured in black
and made up over a front of ciel blue
silk muslin. A key pattern in dark
blue satin ribbon of two widths skirts
the foot of the front drapery and the
wide frills of silk muslin at the side are
similarly banded with blue ribbon.
A little symphony in black and white
is displayed by the second figure. The
black is only narrow folds of satin
forming the lattice work over bust and
hips, while the white is swiss, having
the edges of its fiounces picked out in
black embroidery. A wide black wheat
straw hat, pinched into picturesque
shape and adorned with black grena-
dine ribbon and black plumes is the
simple and appropriate headgear.
A taffeta of royal red tucked from
neck to heels and interspersed with
bands of chantilly lace laid over palest
yellow silk is the motif of the third
costume fit for a canary blond or
Spanish brunette. A tucker of yellow
silk net opens over the bust and a Lib
erty satin ribbon wound twice about

A LAKE OF INK.
CALIFORNIA; Most Unnatural Natural
Curiosity.

CALIFORNIA; Most Unnatural Natural
Curiosity.
Without doubt the most remarkable
body of water in the world lies in the
vicinity of the Colorado river, in south
ern California. In this region of ugly
volcanoes, desolate wastes and Shiny
swamps, the strangest phenomenon of
all is what the naturalists call a lake
of ink" No other description fits so
well.
The strange black fluid that forms
the lake bears no resemblance to water.
1t must some day have been a lake of
fire" and even now it TALES excel
lently with the familiar description of
the Internal regions. Thick and vic
cous and foul smelling, it seems alto
gether unfit that it should deface the
surface of the earth.
The pool of ink is situated about half
a mile from a volcano. 1t is about an
acre in area The surface is coated
with gray ashes from the volcanoes to
the thickness of about six inches. thus
cOncealing its real nature. A traveller
not prepared 10 avoid its treacherOus
depths might easily walk into it.
Experiment has proved that the
black fluid of the lake is not poisonous.
1t acts as dye, and cotton goods
soaked in it keep their color for months,
even when exposed to the sun. They
also acquire a stiffness similar to that
produced by weak starch. The fluid
has been analysed, but its component
parts have not been made known. As
to the source of the supply of the lake
nothing definite has been ascertained.
1t is undoubtedly of volcanic origin,
but nothing more definite is known.
Naturally this remarkable phenome-
non has afforded the Indians abundant
material for legend. Scores of bad rel
men, they claim, have gone to death
beneath the ashes of the lake. which is
800 yards deep. The lake itself, say the
Indians. is composed of the blood of
their bad brothers, who are suffering in
their hell amid the volcanoes. And a
more impressive hell it would be i'm
possible to conceive In this rock
hemmed basin are active and dead srol-
canoes. spouting geysers, boiling
springs, a lake of some black, sticky
substance resembling ink, craters that
blow out only dry ashes, others that
send forth stones and gravel, and still
others that beleh liquid and blazing
streams of mud. There are other holes
which emit only Indifferent puffs of
smoke or steam, while from all issues a
burning odor of birthstone.
This is a land that has never been
traversed. Human beings have tried
it. but they never return to tell of their
experience or of their discoveries Lit
tie heaps of bleaching bones can be
seen scattered about here and there
over the lava strewn surface of the
ground Bones of animals also lie
about, telling the story of the fatal
wanderings of be1sts.-Exchange

FOR THROAT AND HAIR.


Young girls as a rule prefer TO wear
any neck jewels they adopt in the form
of head strings very fiat about the
throat but women of maturer years
cling with commendable steadfastness
to the high collar. The pretty neck
band adopted for this flying 2ay is q
broad satin ribbon of any color pre-
ferred drawn through five quaint I'M
matched jeweled slides. The slides are
oftenest of diamonds and pearls, put
together in an open light pattern and
AT the back of the neck in a bow knot,
having swallow tailed ends, the ribbon
is knotted.
Up in the hair when jeweled aigrettes,
coronets, crowns of tiaras are worn,
flowers, or tufts of small ostrich feath-
ers. stand in majestic height at the rear
of the flashing ornament. Most splen-
did in it's effect is a bouquet Of three
white plumes Gaping the highly piled
hair ard fronted by a bird wrought en-
tirely of diamonds, it's outspread wings
so poised as TO vihrate with every mo-
ton of the weareT'c head. a fountain

other exquisite and novel hair orna-
ment, that happily for her who loves

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mr.. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 1884
East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,
Pa, is remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter disbursement. She
says:
never can ind words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
Some years ago Ihad womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times 1
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, 1 felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. 1 was so depressed in spirits
that did not wish to live, although 1
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone
indeed, thought 1 would lose nv
mind. No one knows what l endured.
" L continued this way until the last
Of February, when 1 saw in a paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. determined to try il.
and felt better after the first dose. I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from my
heart, Thank God for such a medi-
cine"
Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass,
for advice. All such letters are seen
and answered by women only.

the arms, and tied in a big bow over
the bust. If ribbon is not used then

NEW. SLEEVES.
Two new sleeves for evening dresses
have blossomed out since women have
begun to show a liking for ball going
with arms quite uncovered. The first
of these is the wing sleeve of muslin,
or ribbon, or lace, and made in the form
of great bow, very crisp in the ears
and set on at the back of the shoulder
To wear such a sleeve a fiat, tight cap
of material is drawn over the crest Of
the arm, and to this the center of the
bow is fastened. The air these sleeves
give is quite as if the wearer had a
pair of dainty wings growing out Of
her back-just such inconsequential.

Mrs. Phelps sprang after him, and
called down the stairs:
What number? Where from? Did
you hear?"
"Sixty-one.'' he shouted, from two
stories below
1.-THE navy yard" she exclaimed, a
thrill of premonition sending her heart
into her throat.
A moment later she stood alone in
the telephone closet at the corner, and
through the transmitter a soft "Hullo"
sped on its way Then she listened
Yes, I'm Mrs. Phelps. Who are

that had answered.

becoming little wings as the artists
and sculptors give the figures of
Psyche.
The other and equally pretty decora-
tiCn for decollette evening bodice is
the shower sleeve. Usually a small
ruche of lace, or a circle of small flow
ers, is laid on the shoulder strap of
the bodice and then lace, or thinnest
dotted net, is gathered into the arm
hole all about, save a space of about
two inches in front. This forms an
open veil in which the arm hangs and
the delicate shower of soft material
falls nearly to the knee. From the
flowers on the shoulder fine trails and

pose this last is used no woman has yet
found out, save to cut magazine leaves
and open letters. but it is a daintily
pretty weapon. More feminine and ap-
proprlate, not to say useful, is the end
finished with a gold hook for fastening
gloves. Direct from Paris these batons
have come, along with the fancy for
cutting up long gold neck chains into
armlets.
