FRIlLs OF FASHION.
Pretty Materials for shirt Waists,
Popular COlors and Attrac-
tive Ornaments.

Very pretty waists classed with shirt
waists are made of linen batiste with
bands of lace insertion between groups
of tueBs down the front and back
where the waist fastens. The collar
is simply a transparent band of lace
with cords long enough to tie in bow.
Pretty neckties to wear with plaid
gowns are made of white glace trimmed
with plaid or spotted silk.
Cherries mixed with their own bios
SONS decorate red straw hats, and to
perfect the scheme of color a scarf Of
red silk spotted with white is effective.
Knife-plaited frills of net, silk and
mousseline de sole are very lavishly
used for trimming summer gowns and
hats as well.
Bangles of oxidized silver, ornament
ed with some appropriate quotation
from Shakespeare in old English let
ters, are one of the novelties in jew
elry. But if you really want n supply
of wisdom beyond your years just wear
a gold bangle with Buddha set in dia-
monds, or, better still, a frog set in jew
els, which VIII bring you good health
and much happiness.
Earrings are threatened again, and
the special design which may prove
irresistible is called "ear forets." They
are q little flower scroll set with dia-
monds shaped to aeeentuate the curves
Of the lobe of the ear, and fastened in
some mysterious way which is not vis-
ible.
The hat which turns back from the
face is close rival to the other ex-
treme which tits down over the eyes,
and is charmingly becoming to many
faces.
A becoming feature Of fashion is the

BABY's DRESS IN SUMMER.
Suggestions Regarding the Correct
Wardrobe for the Wee belle
OF Fashion.

There are as many ways and as many
new materials for summer costumes
of little children as for their mothers.
Plain dimity lawn or colored percale
lis used for morning dresses, and IS
often made up with gimps or without.
/ The larger part of child's summer
wardrobe consists of dresses in plain
white nainsock. These have skirts
finished with a hemstitched fold and
frequently narrow tucks or insertion.
iGinghams of bright colors, with feath-
er-stitched ruffles on the shoulders,
are most serviceable and easily made,
For afternoon the well-dressed child
win wear a pique dress with as much
hand-wrought embroidery as is con-
sistent with good taste. On account of
the thickness of this material a gimp
is always used, the yoke of which is
made of embroidery or tucks of inser-
ton. with narrow little puffs.
Sleeves are always full puffs, shirred
at the wrists, with narrow bands and
fuffles, and, as n rule, are long.
Costumes of this kind are easily
made at home, as are those of white
China silk, which are elaborately
trimmed with lace and worn only OF
special occasions. Grass cloth has
found its way into the wardrobe oi
small children, and dresses of this ma
terial are made perfectly plain, worr

TgIE povER TRlAlGEpY.

The death OF Mrs. Joshua ID. Deane
and Mrs. John P. Dunning, OF Dover.
by poisoning, has stirred our entire
state with mingled feelings Of horror
and pity. That two such women. so
highly connected, so irreproachable in
character and having everything 10
live for, should be stricken down in
such a mysterious manner has given
the people Of this community a shock
from which they will not soon recover.
The messenger Of death was contained
in box of CONNECTIONS accompanied
by a message OF affection to Mrs. Dun
ming and her child. 1t travelled across
the continent to reach It's victims, and
did its work with thoroughness hor-
rible to contemplate.
Our state chemist has analyzed three
pieces OF the candy and found them TO
contain arsenic. This explodes the
theory entertained by some of the ply
sicians that the poisoning might have
resulted from chemical change in some
OF the ingredients Of which the candy
was made
Now that ii has been determined and
officially declared that the deaths were
due to poisoning, no effort should be
spared to fix the responsibility where
1t properly belongs. Human life Is toe
precious to permit it to be sacrificed
in such a manner and public sentiment
will not he satisfied until the state au-
thorities have cleared up the doubt
contained in the coroner's jury's ver-
dict as to the identity of the perpe-
TRAITOR OF the diabolical crime. The
first thing is to trace back the candy
to the person who sent it. That Il
will be a difficult piece Of work no one
will deny, but American detectives
have done even more difficult work
and brought criminals to Justice Once
the candy is traced to its sender, ths
work of detection OF the poisoner willb'
simplifed and the motive easily lait
bare.
Some assert that a woman who Il
in love with John P. Dunning is at th'
bottom of It. This may, or may not, be
It matters not who was at the bottom
Of 1t. II the deaths We're due to de-
sign the gallows should receive thd
perpetrator.
