No Hot Nights in
Colorado and Utah

Where shalr we go? Literally, the burn
ing question, and echo answers, to Colorado
and Utah. In brief article it is impossible
to do more than briefly indicate few of the
wonders of this entrancingly beautiful part
of the country. Assuming that the searcher
after rest amidst Natures richest treasures
goes from st. Louis to Denver he will first
seek out the Colorado parks. To fully
understand the Colorado parks they must be
seen. No description can do them justice,
and neither the skill of a Bierstandt nor
Moran could picture their pure atmosphere
so like the breath from Paradise-nor re-
produce their beauteous corors and forms.
Estes park. North park, Middle park and
South park having been visited the bonne
bouche is reserved of a visit to Idaho
Springs, at the debouchment of Clear Creek
Canon, which widenS into a beautiful val
ley, and is at once observed by all visitors
The peculiar fitness of the spot for health
resort is admirable. 1t is well protected by
surrounding mountains-on the north by
towering Bellevue on the south by gently
receding ranges, whose continuity is broken
by the gorges through which Chicago and
Soda creeks have carved their courses
Away and beyond the nearer mountains lofty
peaks lift their heads in a greater than
Alpine glory. On all sides there are mani

power of nature, in forms that are beauti-
full and rugged. And to reach this quiet
spot, buried in among the grand and up
lifting scenery of mountains, where even an
anchorite might draw inspiration and drink
in a love of living, one must travel only
thirty eight miles from Denver. No health
resort in the world possesses a finer climate
The air is pure and without undue moist
ure, what is called in common parlance, "a
dry atmosphere" adapted to the needs of
these suffering from bronchial trl ubles.

Living Fashion Models

The principal design of this weeks living

specially adapted in make and materials
for wear during the warm season. 1t is of
crepe de chine. eXQuisitely trimmed with
ruffles of the same goods, set [ II with a
lace yoke and collar. The effect is enhanced
by a broad ribbon bow with long flowing
end, front and back.
Little girls are wearing soft silk bl uses
with their linen, duck and Diuue skirts.
The present model shows skirt of heavy
white linen, the blouse of navy blue liberty
silk, and hat a white sailor, with blue ribbon
around the crown.
Very small men are put early for the
season into their seaside flannels
and the shy little MILDLY in the picture dis
plays to the most alluring advantage the
charm and comfort of the baby togs. Any
mother who has a golden haired boy to
deck for the envious admiration of all The
other seaside mothers could hardly do better
than to array him as one of these With
the long blouse and full trousers a tiny
chappie seems in the transition state be-
tween his kilt and the breeches to come
and, man-like as is the suggestion of his
attire it is none the less sweet and essen

By means of the herring bone lines all
the smartest silk bodies show their Innings

herring bone headings, and the swan song
of the looms this spring was the voie and
grenadine, the organdie and gingham made
open worked and lacelke by dint of her

bcned at the head of their hens are our new
necktes, whether of soft silk in cashmere

portions has the neckwear trade crept that
it has guaranteed the opening of little shops
where only collars, bows and sailor knots
sold.

The Ascot, that Is not more than smart

pleasures call her forth she circles her pretty
throat with stiff neck band overlaid with
organdie, or chiffon in tucks and ruches and
a snowy jabct, in the form Of complicated

pending like the ruffs of a pointer pigeon
upon her breast, Somewhere in this maze
of prettiness she places her pearl neckte
pin Three pearls, set like three-leafed
clover, one gem pink, one yellow and one
ash gray or white, is the rule, and since
pretty imitation pearls serve as well as the
true ones this is a fashion essentially within
the reach of the majority.
Throughout the summer pearls will con-
tinue the favorite ornaments, dividing favors
only with emerads. An emerald solitaire in

to experience all that ne may have imagined
the climate of Colorado to be, It is into the
autumn months that he should prolong his
stay, and not, as is too often the case, hurry

summer is first noticeable in September, and
from that time until near Christmas the

Among the many attractions which invite
the tourist every side in Salt Lake may

Summer Fashions and FadS.

NEW YORK, June 23.--The proverbial i'll
wind brings us the profit at last of seeing
all the fashionable devices for dressing in
the coolest possible fashion. The woman in
mourning, who has the most difficult problem
to deal with, commands first admiration, so
artfully and becomngly does she accom-
modate herself to the demands of the
weather. Black lusterless crepe de chine,
black straight thread grenadine, black
liberty silk and coar black French linen lawn
and tailors' linen are the shadowy fabrics
in which the bereaved find some solace.
The usual scheme of the gown that signifies
full mourning is to face the foundation skirt
to the knees with an almost perfectly fiat
circular flounce of the typical weed of grief,
that is to say English crepe, and then drop
uprn this an overskirt-like drapery of one
of the cool gauZy weaves. None of the hot
heavy crepe is considered essential on the
waist, and the hat or bonnet is of wired
crepe or Brussels net.
If bonnet is insisted upon only scarf

Venetian dressmakers have built superb
coincidence costumes of net over silk garn

The best investment for a cool. serv-

ness beyond compare. 1t must be made on
