Symphonies in skirts are not difficult Of
construction with such material as the sum
mer brings to hand. Five expressions of
dainty delight are shown hanging on the
line. Their respective materials are Indian
taffeta silk, satin ~foulard, organdie, Irish

is cut in deep vandykes over a fan killed

French muslin while the satin fculard is
opened in hollow feur-de-lis design over an

Each and every one of these tlower-like
skirts is designed for weGT by a youngish
woman. Their coquettishness of ornamental
ton is not suitable for a woman on the
steady side OF twenty-eight, and their waists
are, though not shown, supposed to lean to
the popular tide in favor of fichu drapery
about the shoulders. That is, a simple round
silk or muslin body is made, cut open round
or pointed at the neck and a kerchief so dis
posed as to obvlate all necessity of any
other trimming. Caught on the bust or
shoulder or down at the waist line, the ker-
chief is always knotted, fastened with a
bright jewel pin and lets fall soft, lace trim

Late as 1t is in this season the summer
wrap has only just modified its forces and
stepped out on anything like impressive and
instructive dress parade. Women whose
pockets are lined with either gold, or whose
names signify almost unlimited credit at
the shops, wear exquisite CONNECTIONS when
driving and calling that are a compromise
between the almost obsolete boa and the
equally degenerate small cape. That is to
say, an enormous ruche of black silk
violets, Of roses, or heather blossoms en-
circles the neck, and from this depend two
pointed frills of rich old white lace. The
longest frill let's its point fall only a few
inches below the wearer's waist and in front
clear to her feet extend two white lace
scarfs that are supposed to serve as strings
to catch the cape collar up snugly under
her throat.
The enterprising economical woman copies
this bit of prettiness most reasonably with

This is the season when the only bath

Turkish toweling. The newest are as loud

They have huge polka dots, some of them as
big as a silver dollar, in a strikingly con-
trasting color.
By the way, the polka dot seems to be
right in the ring again. 1t has come to
life with renewed vigor. The very newest
ribbons for neckwear. belts and trimmings
and the latest sashes are all in polka-dot
patterns. TIL dots SO far are quite small,
but everywhere striking contrasts in color
arc the order of the day.
A pretty afternoon gown of grenadine is
made with accordion-pleated blouse and
skirt, and cross-tucked sleeves over black,
with a sash of light green taffeta. To make
1t more dressy, the ribbon may be edged
with a narrow frill of black moussaline,
headed by a tiny applique band Of mousse
line embroidered with jet beads and
spangles.
Jackets for fall wear are to be made
longer than last year. Flat bands are the
most appropriate trimmings for heavy
goods. Costumes are made of two shades Of
cloth and other heavy goods; the
darker color forms the side seams and upper
part of skirt. The jacket may be finished
with bands of velvet or fancy goods. The
rest is of satin or brocade.

talks of her independence and her latch
key. The widow has them also. A debu-
tante's mind is full of the weighing Of the
qualities of her admirers. But the widows
task is even more arduous. On all the
sphere, surely no woman has more scope to
be charming than the widow of a civilized
nation.
But in uncivilized countries the widows
lot is quite different. The death of her
husband not only strips her of every fasci-
nation and charm that she formerly pos
sessed, but loads her with chains of servi-
tude and curses from his relatives.
An observant American widow that has
recently returned from India. was much
impressed with their melancholy state in
that country. There, as soon as a woman
is married, she but lives through her hus-
bands favor. God only hears her prayers
when they are made for his benefit. The
greatest misfortune, however, that can hap
pen to her is to have him die before she
does. When this is the case, his relatives
come at once to the house and take pos.
session of everything, The poor little wife
sits in a corner, striped of her former
clothes and jewels, and in rags keeps up a
low, moaning noise, while all abuse her.
"She has killed him, Her prayers were
not heard Her thoughts have wan
dered," are the anathemas that are show
| cred upon her.
When the body Of her husband is buried
on the pile of burning faggots by the side
Of the Ganges, as is the custom, some one
is always commissioned to hold back the
wife from throwing herself on the burn
ing pile, and so perishing. She, knowing
we'll what her after life will be, usually
endeavors to end it at this time. After
| the ceremony of burning, the little wife is
clamorously driven up to her waist into the
| Gauges by the mourners. Afterwards she
walks home, the last one of the procession,
which Is on wheels, and throws herself
down on the hard floor Of the clubhouse,
where she Is compelled to remain for three
days, lamenting. Her clothes are dripping
wet from having been in the Ganges, but
she is not allowed to change them. And
to this pool of water she has to add her
tears until the evening Of the third day.
The mortality of these little widows at this
time is very large. To those that survive,
the BARRIERS wife, who is a most important
parsonage in India, comes when the time
is up. and dresses them in the garb of n
waiting maid. They then enter the home
of another woman, usually some connection
of their husband, and act as her servant
for the rest of their lives.
No wonder the gay American was shocked
at this pathetic contrast to the lives Of
the widows in her own country.

The popularity OF Admiral Sampson among
the street urchins of American cities is
shared by members OF his family. A few
days ago a New York ciup gave a reception
to one of the daughters of this seadog.
While the reception was in full swing noise
of a growing tumult crept into the rooms,
Someone went to the door and found the
house in a state Of siege, The street was
blocked by a mob of small boys with grimy,
resolute faces. When the door opened the
murmur swelled to a clamor.

astonished young woman at the door.

daughter" shrilled the crowd.
"Well, you can't" and the door was shut.
After a parley on the part of the besieged
and much noise on the part OF the besiegers
the door opened once more and a dignihed
young woman said sternly:
Now, boys, you are annoying us and you
must go away at once"
The crowd responded as one boy:
Nope! We won't bulge until we've seen
SIMPSONS daughter"
The ultimatum was so positive that there
was nothing to do but run up a white flag
or call out the militia. Miss Sampson, much
amused, urged surrender, so the attacking
force was invited in and one by one they
filed through the hall and parlor, a ragged
but triumphant band. They took a good,
square look at Miss Sampson, solemnly
shook hands with her and then filed out.
The heroine Of the occasion, under fire,
showed herself her fathers own daughter
and bore the wide-oyed scrutiny with smil-
ing self-possession, while she cordially
shook the little black hands held out 10 her.

office Of the secretary All the commits
sioners present except Mr.. Dan Stewart
of Walla Walla. There were present be-
sides the commissioners, Mr.. A. 4. Me.
Donald, state dairy commissioner, who
is superintendent OF the dairy depart
ment of the fair, J. l.. Smith, lakewood
dairy, Spokane, superintendent of the
stock department, II. II. Collier, Taco
ma, superintendent OF the poultry de.
partment, Guy Macleod Richards, Ia
coma, editor OF Pacific Coast Dairyman,
Miller Freeman OF Seattle, and other
prominent citizens These gentlemen
were present to assist in completing the
premium list which is now ready for the
publishers The commission have sue
ceeded, through the liberality of
the three larger cities of the state,
other cities outside of the state
aud the citizens Of North Yakima, in
obtaining list of special premiums OF
something over $4,000 in merchandise
aud cash. This will enable the commits
sion to put up good premiums in every
line. BY the help of prominent citizens
throughout the state, and by the large
premiums we are enabled to put up, We
are assured OF good fair this fall.
Prof. Newton B. Pierce, one of the en-
tomologists of the Agricultural depart
ment of the United States, has been as
signed by the department to carry on an
institute of six days during the fair, and
to deliver lectures upon various topics Of
practical interest to agriculturists in this
line. The state fair commission desires

sorts to communicate to them any sub

ter into. The commission will be partic.
ularly pleased to have specimens of any
pest handed IN to them ut an early date,
80 that they can get Prof. Plerce's best
judgment upon their determination when
he comes here.
The commission finds that all the &c.
centric people are not yet dead. An en-.
thusisstc friend OF the fair has sent $40
t. the commission. which he desires to
the best pound of butter.
The commission has prepared the rae
ing program; and while the com IN isso n
is not running the fair to horses at all,
yet the people who will have good horses
will not be overlooked. and are going to
have an opportunity of seeing the finest
races ever vet Witnessed in the state of
Washington. The commission is partic-
ularly favored by fortune this season for
the reason that the drouth in California
will limit the races in that state, and the
horses will all come here. And in Mon
tana this year there will be no races in
harness, and their horses will also come
here. The fair association belongs to the
National trotting association and also to
the Northwest circuit, which gives it ev-
cry advantage possible for securing good
horses.
