lies, lawns, ginghams and other sum-
mer goods are characterized by their
elaborate and somewhat gorgeous de-
signs in way of flowers, checks and
stripes. Among the SO called new ma
terials are shaded effects in moires and
other dress fabrics. Grenadines show
new weaves, which must be seen to be
appreciated. Foulards exhibit patterns
large and small which cover the back
ground. Novel ideas are expressed in
trimmings, some of which are i'll lat
tice effects. Made up pieces for bodices
are a special feature in trimmings and
promise to be exceedingly popular, fur
nishing as they do an easy though cost
ly way for making an elaborate gown.
Following the rumor that the chignon
is to come back in modified form are
hair nets in a variety of styles. French
women are already wearing these nets,
and there are reasons for believing that
they will be worn here. AT the present
moment for evening headdress the orna-
ments are placed rather high, the hair
waved and curled on the top of the head
and bows of ribbon or tortoise shell
combs and diamonds or other handsome
ornaments are used. Then there are
light aigrets with diamond dust or a
plain white aigret rising from a hand
some jewel.
In the way of hats there is great va
riety, but all are moderate in size and
often ornamented with twists or rolls of
gauze, satin or velvet, giving rather the
appearance of turbans. The capote has
given place to the toque of crumpled
velvet, enhanced with flowers, and in
the evening at theaters little crownless
bonnets of gold and beads and violets
are seen also the little vatican form in
gathered tulle with wreaths and floral
sgarniture. Among French im~portations
is a stylish hat giving the broad effect
SO popular. It is of black felt bound
with velvet. Draperies of satin encircle
the crown in soft waves and loops and
apparently tie in front into two upright
earlike ends faced with turquoise blue.
1t receives additional enrichment from
a jeweled buckle and white feathers.
Many of the day gowns have that
most becoming style of chiffon bodice
which is plated in a ~serpentine design,

THE NEW SILK PETTlCOATS.

They Are Remarkable Creations of Ruff
fes, Flounces. PIaitings and Lace.
The petticoat must be of silk, and Of
the kind that rustles with every step
the fair lady takes. The petticoat which
promises to be the thing for all gowns
fashioned with the revised Spanish
founce is made almost sheathlike
around the hips and in front. with very
little fullness at the back. 1t is finished
with a founce narrow in the front, be-
ginning never above the knees, some
times below, and gradually growing
deeper and deeper toward the back, I'M
til when it reaches the middle Of the
back of the petticoat it is as high as to
where the ordinary placket comes. This
graduated founce is very, very full. 1t
must measure fully five yards and is
trimmed with lace three or four inches
wide. Under this wide rufne is set an
other rufle, which is also very full and
also trimmed with lace.
Another entirely new model is made
as tight as possible over the hips and as
frou frou as possible around the bottom.
The upper part is made very narrow,
and all the fullness at the bottom is
gained by the fashion in which the skirt
is cut. 1t is cut SO as to form points,
which are outlined by heavy cordings,
and from these points, following their
contour, hangs a very full rutfe, which
in its turn is trimmed with a cluster
of narrow %ruffles, which are full and

neatness is required in covering, and
the edges are best secured by fish glue.
The principal beauty of the Golfer is Sc

Thirteen-year-old Colored Girl Inspired

Isabella Harvey Horton, the colored

him, betrayed him to the sheriff and block

Merits.

tails show that attention is centered on
Americas preparation for war, which
most people believe to be imminent Some
express sympathy for Spain, but none
offers to help her, not even Austria, which
has been the forcing ground Of pro-Span-

milder mood. A Vienna correspondent de-

sAGASTA RETAINS HIS POWER.
Liberals Win in Spanish Par1ia ment-
airy Elections.

The Spanish parliamentary elections
that were held Sunday went by large
majority in favor Of the Liberals, the par
ty now in power. Very little interest was
manifested in Madrid and the polling
booths were almost deserted. Most all
the candidates elected there are Liberals.
Riots are reported from many places,
troubles being fomented by the socialists.
This was especially the case in the prov
inces of Biscay, Navarro, Catalonia and
Valencia. At Durango, in the province
of Biscay, one man was killed. 1t is esti-
mated that the Government won 800 of
the 49, seats in the Chamber of Deputies.
