Sun bonnets of every description
are seen in the shops and exchanges,
and there is no doubt that they are
to be the rage. The average outdoor
girl must possess at least half dozen
of these creations. In the country
they are indispensable. Sometimes she
fashions them herself. but this Is no
small task, and requires time and taste
and skill.
Nothing could be more becoming
and picturesque than some of the love
" combinations of muslin, lace and
ribbon which are already shown. They
are in plain colors, or Powered IN
bright or pale colors, to suit every
taste. Some are soft and dropping,
and Others are made on stihened
forms. They have strings, or they
have not, but the strings, If there, are
unlikely ever to be tied. 1t would
seem to indicate that the summer girl
intends to pay some regard to her
complexion and not go hatless IN the
sun. as she did last season.

Origin of Famous Fashions.

1t Is singular fact in the history
OF fashions that not few of the more
famous of them owe their origin to
the endeavor to conceal a personal de-
fect or deformity of some distin-
gulshed leader of society. Patches were
invented in England in the reign of
Edward vi. by foreign lady, who in
this manner ingeniously covered wen
on her neck. Full bottomed wigs were
invented by an ingenious French bar
Der for the purpose of concealing an
unnatural protuberance on the should
er of the Dauphin. Charles VII Of
France introduced long coats to hide
his ill-made legs. Shoes with very
long points, fully two feet in length,
were invented by Henry Plantagenet,
Duke Of Anjou, to conceal large ex-
cresence on one of his feet. When
Francis l. was obliged to wear his
hair short, owing to a wound he re-
ceived in the head, short hair at once
became the fashion at his court. AS
set-off to the examples quoted, we
may note that, not to conceal, but to
display, her charms, the beautiful Isa-
bella of Bavaria, introduced the fash
ion of leaving the shoulders and part
OF the neck uncovered, in order to
show the remarkable fairness of her
skin

One Of the smartest types Of hat is
covered on brim, inside out, and to
the tip-top of the crown, with rows on
rows Of lace. Just about June the lace
hat, which in Paris is called the "Rox-
ane." will begin to MAKE its influence
felt. Any woman who knows any
thing of style and dainty needlework
can make her own Roxane by buying
becoming shape of white wire, COW
cred with coarse muslin, and on to this
frilling deep cream Mechlin that
comes at Is and 20 cents yard by way
Of bargain counter. All she need do
when the hat becomes fluffy mass
Of lace frills is to wreath pale pink or
mauve carnations, with bows of black
velvet ribbon, round the crown; In
such an inexpensive piece of headgear
she is fit to appear before queen.

Among the various odd effects pro-
duced on the modern bodice is the use
of white pique with coarse, heavy
cord. This appears on the new fou-
lards, the daintiest nuns veilings ana
crepes de chine in chemisette, wide
collar. or an inner or second vest peep
ing out on either side Of the front over
n lace or embroidered satin vest and
cut In scallops on the edge, finished
with q full ruche Of white chiffon.
Scallops, by the way, are seen every
where that an edge is presented which
can be cut in scallops. 1t is favorlte
mode of finishing the overdresses and
the bottom of short jackets, and some
of the ruffles are cut in scallops. You
NAV have them deep or shallow, as you
fancy, and trim them round Win
ruchings, insertions or knife-plaitings.

Buckles and Buttons.

Large buckles are placed on bodices
of evening gowns and also hold up
tunic draperies. Some are square, while
others are heart-shaped, and they are
chiefly OF gold, dull-fnished silver, dia-
monds or steel. Tortoise shell orna-
ments are extensively used for the dec
buttons are much used by French ate
Tiers on toilets Of ceremony, built Of
lace, net, mousseline de sole, crepe de

very fashionable and steel embroideries
are employed to decorate white lace,

A dainty spring-like air pervades the
charming toilet which is here shown,

shirt waist displays a pointed yoke
that is applied on the back, which Is

correspondence Regarding Rand,
McNaIIy q Co.'s Atlas.

Mr.. Frank +. Brent, secretary Of the
| state Board Of Education, has written
| DR.. Hunter Mcclure chairman of the
| committee of Lee Camp which recently
! made report cOndemning Rand, Nc
Nally d Co.'s Universal Atlas as being
unfit for use in the public schools, that
the publication is not, and 50 far as he
can ascertain has never been, on the list
of books authorized for use i'm our public
schools. Mr.. Brent says it was not even
offered to the present Board of Education
for adoption, and if it had been it would
have been summarily rejected. as it's
gross Misrepresentation of the South
were known TO more than one member
OF the board. Mr.. Brent asks DR.. Mcclure
10 inform him as to what led the commit
tee to think it was on the list of public
school books.
In reply to Mr. Brent DR.. Mcclure
stated that the camp had asked the COM
mittee TO report as 70 the attitude of the
book towards the South. He says he
thinks the camp was informed that this
book was on the desk of many Of the
public-school teachers and was used i'm
He knew that this publication was not
the list of books authorized for use in the
public schools by the State Board of
Education.
In conclusion Dr. Mcclure SAYS he is
glad TO know that the State Board Of
Education is made up of men as anxious
to keep out Of Virginia schools Yankee
histories and other books unfit for use
in the public and private schools as any
other old Confederate soldier.
