New York, March Silt is difficult
to forbear serious infringement of the
tenth commandment during these
spring days, when every shops counter
and window is a museum of delicate
beauty, when every April day is mil
liners or mOdiste's opening, and when
temptations TO extravaganza beset
every path. One of the especial snares
for the feminine conscience and purse
at this moment is the parasol display.
The handles deserving especial notice
are rather long and finished either in
metal, or for a depth of eight inches
from the butt the porcelain and cellu-
loid hits are painted. The painted
scenes are from we'll known opera
bouffe. Every picture encircles the
handle ii adornS and along with an
abundance of treatment in gilt the very
tip is finished with some such quaint
china figure as minute frog, mouse,
pig or rabbit
Handles equally alluring are made of
gun metal decorated with polished sill
yer. having large imitation cabochon
stones set in their ends, else the gun
metal is overlaid with bright filigree
silver work, and small beveled stones
punctuate the silver work here and
there.
Chief attention is commanded
though, in behalf of the bright cover
ings of the ribs and in the effort after
decorative effects; even the cases for
sun umbrellas are made in the form
of slim, close-shirred, pulled and ruffled
bags.

Any woman can flaunt this summer a
pretty stout sunshade if she chooses
Tor the very good reason that the ma
jority of most attractive examples are
trimmed with ribbons. Satin ribbon
about half an inch wide is gathered
and sewed in tiny circular fiounces. one
frill slightly overlapping the other, from
the point of the ribs M TO the ferrule
end. This is a capital device by which
q handsome stained or faded sunshade
can be renovated to appear quite as
nice as new.
Again. ribbons are laid on fat. run
ming from top to bottom of the silk
covering. and so arranged as To give the
paraso all the aspect of elaborate

finishes OF with loop. thus forming
a pretty fringe.
A deal of emphasis is laid on the cases

very large pearl buttons fasten the
straps in the first cotton jacket of

Deep violet summer melton, braided

The sixth model comes under the head
exclusively of calling wraps, for the
material is pale biscuit-colored French
brbadcloth, delicately embroidered in
dark brown silk, picked out with gold
threads. Neck and waist band collar

the front, are all composed of brown
silk.

Jeweled buttons and cream lace set off

not less lovely is the evening wrap for

pale green silk. into which are set eight
f1ounces of rose-cOlored- chiffon. every
fiounce edged with narrow scarlet vel

caught under the throat by long scarfs
of cream-tinted meehlin lace.

SUMMER COATS.

A very sharp eye is required to dis
Germ the points of difference between
the neat walking coat of last season
and the model for wear in the present
spring. Perhaps there are not quite so
many seams in the newest coat, and
may be its covert is rather more red
dish in tinge, but there the differentia-
tiGn ceases, and sleeves that were good
form in November are admirable in
April.
All things considered, the fashions
are less tickle than formerly, and there
is no indication that long skirted jack
cts will arrive before our coy little
bob-tailed ones are completely worn
out. Examining the subject at all
points, ii is easy TO discover that
braided wraps are still much in vogue,
and that fewer capes will be worn in
the next six months than we remember
for long time.
Saving the delicate ruffied silk and
chiffon collarettes and sturdy Scotch
circulars, the cape, as we loved il two
OF three years ago, is almost an obso-
lete garment. There are certain exam
pies OF the genus among evening wraps,
and women of ample wardrobes still
patronize small ones of three fiounces,
not falling so low as the elbow. and
heavily ieweled. but for women en-
Taasse it is no longer Known.
THE SHRINKING BLOUSE.
Another conspicuous change the
spring has inaueurated is the discreet
shrinkage of the blouse. Those of
slender figure may mourn, but the
change was bound to come, and it has
been made gracefully. Fronts of coats
are rocrny, and that is the best that
can be made of it, while anyone who
g little later on takes a. walks abroad

OUTING LINENS.
Agreeable to contemplate, with a view
to the inevitable dog days, are the we'll
filed counters of novelty linens. Here
tofore we believed everything possible
in the way of comfort, convenience and
beauty had been accomplished under
that head, but since golf has made bull
fighters red the chosen color for all
sporting costumes, we have now scarlet
sail cloths for suits TO be worn yacht
ing and on the links. For yachting it is
called lateen red and the color is a very
good imitation of the picturesque Medi-
terranean sail. This goods is woven

small delft or wedgerwood blue figures,
small dots and lines. An appreciative
eye, however, overlooks even these
above enumerated temptations for the
sake of the linens-the wide, tough,
lightweight, open weaved linens in cool
laval blue, smoke gray and all shades
of brown. The coarsest weaves are the
leaders III selling quality, everywhere,

MORE PAUPERS.
Laramie County Commissioners For.
ward Them to Laramie.

The commissioners Of Laramie coun-
ty are at their old tricks again. Last
night they SEN a woman pauper and
three children over the hill to be cared
for by the Albany county officials. The
woman is Mrs. David Thompson, and
is or her way. with her three children,
to Diamondville, Wyo., on the Oregon
Short Line. where her husband is work
ing in the mines. She is without money
and says her husband is too poor to
pay for her transportation. The COM
misisoners paid her fare to Granger.
the nearest Union Pacific point to the
woman's destination.
The action of the Laramie county au-
thorities in shipping paupers from
Cheyenne to the nearest town in the dr.
rection they wish to go is unjust to the
surrounding places, and a test case will
soon be brought in the courts to de-
termine whether the people OF the CAPT.
tai have the right to saddle this ex-
pense upon other counties in the state.
If it is found to be absolutely necessary
to forward paupers to their destina-
ton at public expense, the cost should
be borne equally by the counties inter-
ested. and it is believed this view of
the matter will be sustained by the
courts. The fact that Cheyenne is
favorably situated for getting rid OF
her undesirable population at small
cost does not carry the right to foist
heavy expenses for the same purpose
upon her neighbors.
