Revlva1 of tho Plain Bodice.

Without doubt we are started on
the road TO tight-fitting bodices once
more, and the autumn will see street
gowns made in this style, which is
necessarily the proper accompaniment
for the sheathlike skirt that now has
a hold on woman's fancy. Of course
they will be trimmed, but the trim
mings will be flat and more severe
than have been seen for some seasons
past. Many of the early summer
street costumes were paraded in this
style, which, after all, is more suit
able for street and shopping wear

summer Fans and Hat Pins.

Fans to match every costume are
what the fashionable woman must now
provide. There is an immense yari-
ETY. to choose from, so this should not
be formidable task.
With the slight increase in tie size
of the present style of fans, the os-
trich feather fan has again returned
to favor. Almost every woman has
one of these handsome fans slowed
carefully away, and now is the time
to bring it forth Ostrich fans are
peculiarly graceful, and make hand
some adjunct to the most elegant toi-
let.
A late fancy is the violet fan. In
the shops these are very expensive
but the girl with quick fingers and
artistic eye can easily manufacture
one at home. The foundation is O
white silk or satin, fan, with rather
long, plain sticks. Medium silk vio-
lets are chosen and are glued carefully
on. They must not look stiff, but as
if they had fallen carelessly upon the
fan. The fan is laid fiat while, the
violets are fastened on, and is then
pressed with heavy weight until
thoroughly dry. 1t is not intended
to close, but hangs as an ornament
from the side. Other small flowers,
forget me nots, heather or lilies of the
valley, are used in the same way, and
the flower fans are among the pretti-
est of the seasons novelties.
More gorgeous are the lace fans,
embroidered with spangles, with jew
eled sticks. Fans OF this variety are
very costly and very frail.
More dainty and varied than ever
are the japanese fans. They are truly
the friends for hot weather. A num-
Der are quite handsome enough to be
carried with fashionable gowns. The
summer home is not complete without
large ASSORTMENT of every size and
hue.
Flies, bugs and creeping things are
most popular for hatpins. There is a
huge humble bee enamelled in its
own brilliant colors, with jeweled
eyes. Dragon flies which sparkle in
the sunlight arc very pretty fasteners
for the dainty summer millinery.
Long green lizards, the bodies studded
with emeralds and the eyes of rubics,
make costly and coveted hatpins.
Butterflies, too, come in for good
share of popularity. Both in genuine
and imitation btilliants they are
shown in every conceivable variety.
Very chaste are the pins of huge
American pearls rising from chalice
OF finely cut rhinestones. Jade is q
novelty for hatpins and is being used
extensively. The jade stone is con-
sldered talismap against evil. Here
again is noticed the craze for military
buttons. Mounted a. FURNISHED,
they are worn in po% one on either
side of Il
A cheap, fashy hatpin will spoil the
appearance Of the most expensive hat.

substantial head. The purchase proves
q good investment in point of looks
and durability. Francisco ES-

A Three Mile Bridge.

The proposed iron bridge over the
Amu-Daria river, on the Central Asian
railway, would replace a wooden
bridge built when the Transcaspian
Railway was built The site is about
l3O miles northeast of Merv. AS the
river overfows its banks, the new
bridge would be 1887 feet, or almost
three miles long, and seventy-two feet
above the normal water level to keep
clear of the drift coming down. The
estimated total cost Of the bridge Is
$500, ,OCO, and Russian firm has Sc

Patent Leather Fad.

A new belt is OF patent leather. The
buckle and eyehoies are of brass or
silver gilt aud very large. Hat bands
of patent leather come to match, and,
of course, the purse must match also.
Very swagger is the appearance OF q
girl wearing the newest thing III pa
tent leather, especially if her skirt and
shirt waist are of white duck and hat
of plain white straw. With such a
costume tan sh es must be discarded,
and as patent leather draws the feet
in warm weather, the shoe must be
black kid, heavily trimmed in patent
leather.

The rattleweed or rattlebox. Is a

Plain Skirts Still Worn.

Skirts that nre tucked, ruffied,

ruchings of lace or material are adrift
over the world of fashion, yet the
severely plain skirt is not out OF style,
but appears in graceful lines and. with

decoration, MS this is so essentially
