SIGNPOSTS
OF FASHION

NEW YORK. July. 12.-(Speclal Corre-
spondence of The Herald). Just at this
time of the year when the fashions have
become for brief moment settled, 1t is
borne in upon the observer that certain
freaks are likely to become gross exagger-
atoms. There are details which, accen-
tuated, are likely to become as the big
balloon sleeves, and the huge bristles wero
in their time.
The waist is being frightened very consid-
erably, and, as 1t has not a broad belt to
keep 1t in trim proportion, the old pudding
bag look shows signs of returning. The
tight skirt encourages the need of the
hip pad and hustle, for the form must be
very rounded to suit Dame Fashion, and
already French modistes are sewing pads
In the skirts of gowns they send out to
bring about this effect. The bow under
meath the chin becomes larger and larger
soon the ends will be brought to the back,
and fashion that has been very much
seen will become again the vogue; mean
the stock with a bunch of protuberances
at the back of the neck.
Hats are almost all turned up in front,
and seem to incline towards the halo in
shape. Great fiat ostrich feathers are
swathed upon them, and the osprey, which
Still reigns, describes pair of wings. That
rather meaningless but decidedly striking
black bow which is seen in front of the
turned up brim of the new hat finds itself
dotted promiscuously almost everywhere,
on the airiest of light corsage5, upon lace
skirts, even upon one tightly-fitting sleeve
1t is a signpost of fashion whose duty it
seems to be to point to particularly dar-
ing feature. AS for the length of skirts,
they are inclined towards the train, and
may call 1t the "rat-tal train" for it wisps
at the back just as those of over twenty
years ago did. May we escape becoming
dust catchers in the near future, though II
looks very much as if we must for even
with street dresses the trains are ubioui-
tous. grotesque pouch is seen on para
sol handles, though this is not very new;
grinning Turks head, parrot a little red
imp, anything. indeed that is extraordi-
nary, is carried out in enamels, and quite
appropriately finishes the dantiest para
soils of chiffon or silk, and these inser-
toned with lace, not a very suitable ma
terial for a parasol, but what do people
mind when there is only a little sun TO
be avoided?
The hip pad, by the way, is desperately
troublesome affair to trust to, and is most
ing is uglier than to be able to observe that
the pad is a pad. We must endeavor to
avoid it, that is all.

Quite sad death occurred on

he plunged into the river and,
catching the chain fastened to The
bateau, swan to the shore pulling
the bateau after him. On Sunday
morning Mr. Mickle became des-

thought that he had congestive
chill, and his friends believe that
his death was caused from having

Seventy Seven Worde of Reform.

Senator McLaurin has kept the
promise he made last fall by in
PRODUCING a bill for the abolition
of the State bank tax, together
with another designed to afford
relief under the national bank svs-
tenn to real estate owners.
These bills are among the
shortest on record, but they
hit the bullseye.
The first reads:
A bill to repeal the ten per CEN
tum tax on the circulation of State
banks and banking institutions.
That all laws or parts of laws
imposing a tax on the circulation
of State banks and banking insti-
tutions be, and the same are here
by, repealed.
Sec 2. That this act shall take
effect from and after its passage.
The second is as follow:
A bill to authorize national
banking institutions to loan money
on real estate:
That on and after the passage
of this act it shall be lawful for
all national banking associations
to make loans on real estate se.
curity.
Sec 2. That all laws or parts OF
laws in conflict with this act are
hereby repealed.
Thirty seven words in one and
40 in the other-but all the south
really needs in Federal banking
Legislation is therein expressed.
We hope that Senator McLaurir
will push these measures vigor
ously, get them before the senate
and force n vote on them. Thai

are aware, voted on the direct anc
clear issue of the repeal of tn,
