Eovv Notions That Are Noticed In the
Latest Costumes for
the Ladies.

The modistsG have not planned for
amateur workers this season. Puhings
and shirring and fine work on chiffon
are to be seen in everything. The
neckE Of some gowns are filed in with
the finest Bhirred chiffon and chiffon
ruffies are rufhed again with chiffon,
or finished with little double puffs. A
pretty reception gown OF silk has chif-
fOn sleeves pulled the full length, and
q tiny double ruffle or puff edges the
front panel and runs around the bot
tom Of the skirt. The chiffon appearB
on the gown in no other place. These
little finishes Of chiffon are very pretty
around the skirts Of gowns.
There are few kinds Of trimming
that are not to be seen this year, and
much Of the trimming runs around the
skirts and bodicez bayadere fashion.
Embroidery is always charming, and
4 pretty little gown Of white chiffon
made over white silk has rows Of en-
brOidery in white around the skirt and
the little, full, round bodice, alternat-
ing with tiny ruff1es Of the chiffon, and
covering it entirely. 1t is very girlish
and pretty.
the popular chenille and the polka dot
effect has big chenille dots on a gown
OF a pretty pattern of coarse, white
net. Black and white are seen on a
gown which has the white for a foun-
dation, some pretty, thin material, the
skirt ruf1ed half way up and the re-
mainder trimmed with graduated
bands Of black velvet ribbon perhaps
two inches wide al the head Of the
ruffles and growing smaller gradually
up to the waist, where they increase
in width again up to the low-cut cor
sage
Entire gowns Of yellow and orange
are seen for evening, and these cOlors
form parts Of other gowns. There Is
more embroidery TO be seen in a yellow
gown, over which is white chiffon with
tiny yellow flowers embroidered upon
it in soft silk
The bias bands of velvet lend them
selves TO the criukled ruf1ed effects I @
be seen in so many things. In one cos
tune the overskirts and panels are
outlined with bias bands of velvet ruff
fed en-, or, it may be more aPPrOpri-
ately said, held a little full il the sew
ing, so that it has the effect of a very
scant ruf1e set into the edge.
The tiny ruff1es of chiffon, which are
not finished with ruff1es, and even some
which are, are edged with tiny bands
of ribbon or velvet. On a pink gown
the many ruff1es of chiffon are edged
with narrow pink velvet with a soft
and attractive effect.-N. Y. Times.

A CASE OF FRAUD.
War Department Discovers n Way IN
Which Soldiers Secure Their
Discharge.

The war department has just un-
earthed i case of fraud that it is sus,
pected has many parallels. An aP
plicatiOn for the discharge of her SOL
was received by a Pennsylvania rep
resentative from an old lady 81 years
of age, living in Adrian, Pa. She wrote
a pitiful appeal for the release Of he1
only boy, who was her sole support
and was said to be lying sick in Fort
Washington, Nd. The letter was for
warded by the representatives Of the
war department with a request that
the appIica tion be granted. The usual
circular letter was sent to the old lady,
reciting rlat discharges could be made
only upon the recommendation Of the
commanding officer. ThereuPOn the
recipient wrote stating that she had
never written the department, that the
letter was a forgery, and that while
she had two sons, the one who was IL
the army had never supported her il
any measure. Evidently the man haC
planned the scheme to secure his OWL
release.

The last words the maiden said TO

After a man has proved that he knows

A woman who never weeps Is of no more

He who hesitates Is lost If he has written
