The Psyche knot as mode OF
couture is passing out of vogue. Its
heir is a style which consists in brush
ing the hair away from the forehead
and neck as much as possible and to
gather it high up on the head. There
are two popular ways of doing this
One is to put the hair up in "puffs''
and rolls" stretching it smoothly in
pompadour effect, and the other to
wave and curl it on top of the head
in a fluffy mass, which, when the hair
is naturally curly is very becoming.
Whichever method is adopted the new
law of the mode is that the hair shall
not be arranged in bunch or knot,
either at the back of the head or on
the forehead. A curl or two on the
forehead, however, is allowable. The
disappearance of the Psyche knot af-
ter it's long reign will probably cause
many heart burns among the girls
whom it became particularly well, but
the new style is far more becoming to
most women and is being hailed with
delight.
A pretty way of trimming the neck
Of a summer gown, if one wishes to
have it half low, is by a scarf of gauze,
edged with a pleating of the same;
this is cut out on one side so as to fiji
nicely about the half low neck of the
bodice, the side trimmed by the pleat-
ing falling down on the dress. 1t is
arranged in careful folds and ends
with a bow of the same on the Shout
der.
Some charming warm weather
frocks are made of ecrue bastiste. The
bodice CT the Is of simild, tone of
guipure, rounded off on either side of
a soft mousseline pleated front in
tolero fashion and descending long
way below the colored belt at tho
back This guipure is cut away at the
sides, producing pleated fantail ef-
feet, which ends just above the plain
linen skirt beneath.
Some of the most stylish of the sum-
mer GOWNS are also the simplest.
The daintiest petticoats for sum-
mer wear are made Of pink and blue
bastiste, with embroidered f1ounces
for trimming.
The most delightful affair of the
week was the lawn and house fete
Thursday evening at the residence Of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Pickrell, for the
benefit of the public library fund No
lanterns were hung on the lawn on ac-
count of the beautiful moonlight. but
the house was brilliantly lighted and
most artistically decorated. On the
rio eli of ho ont ha1
framed in the woodwork, was an ex-
sllent sketch of the hero of the hour,
Admiral Dewey, drawn by Mrs. Pur-
rdian. In a retreat of the first landing
Of the wide staircase were three pill
lows of red, white and blue satin. Over
the table in the dinins room red
white and blue bunting was draped
and the table was covered with beauti-
full drawn work with roses and bowls
of fragrant La France roses placed
here and therr- Tte drawing room
and music rom zero alike decorated
in bunting of the national colors
Stirring speeches were made by
Attorney General Frazier and Mrs.
Clara Evans. Governor McCord, who
was not able to be present, sent
communication, which was read
by Mrs. Will c. Earnes. Miss Mar
gllerite Williams sang two patriotic
songs, the guests joining with enthusi-
asm in the last chorus. Another form
Of entertainment which was most
amusing, was furnished by Professor
Proud, the phrenologist, who analysed
the heads of Mr.. Frazier and Mr. w. K
James. Some of his sayings were wise,
witty, others sarcastic and severe, but
ON the whole very entertaining. Re-
freshmentS we're served, the ice cream
and cake being Of the national colors
TIL most novel feature of the evenings
entertainment was the distribution o.
the souvenirs cintributed by the Susi-
ness men of Phoenix Each one was
entitled to a ticket, which was pre-
scented by Mrs. W. K. James, who pre-
sided over the ticket basket, and the
souvenirs were numbered similar to
the tickets. Messrs. Millay, Chalmers.
Foster and Abrams distributed the
gifts and much nerriment was pro-
duced by the contents of the packages.
There were several very elegant pres
ents of souvenir spoons, salt shakers,
and one very beautiful vase, won by
Mrs. Morford. Some of the souvenirs
were unique. one from the Phoenix
Wood and Coal company being espec-
wood and coal, and on top of this
small bundle of kindling tied in q
bunch. Others were ridiculous and fur
nished much laughter. Mr.. Wade HUI
.ings was the recipient of box of
face powder which he promptly traded
to lady for a box of gentleman's
shoe backing. Every one received
some souvenir of this delightful enter
talnment, and the evening was an en-
tire success. Mrs. PickreIl is a charm
ing hostess. and very energetic work
er in the cause of the much desired Ii
brary. There is no doubt but what
Phoenix will boast of a well filled Ii
trary next winter and it will be ali ow-
ing to the enthusiastic workers of the
library club. Over hundred and fifty
people attended, among whom were Mr..
and Mrs. Chalmers, Mr.. and Mrs.
Barnes, Mr.. and Mrs. James, Captain
and Mrs. Baldwin, Mr. and Mrs. Alb
rams, Mr.. and Mrs. Frazier, Mr.. and
Mrs. e. J. Bennitt, Mr.. and Mrs. Drach-
