Hats for the summer season are
truly ''fearfuIly and wonderfully
made, " and many of the early importa-
tons are built OF so many different
materials that they look as if they bad
been constructed from the odds and
ends of the family piece box. The
large tlrban effects seems to be the
idol of the hour and they are built of
straw, tuIle, chouX, ribbon bows
feathers, aigrettes and flowers As
yet a simple straw hat with a possible
decoration Of flowers has not appeared.
Straws are embroidered with paillettes
and appliqued with figures of lace
The double straws appear again, and
they are found in black lined with
white butter color with cream, layen-
der with green. red with white and
most CT other combinations. Flowers

hat olnameutation. Gray tulle is
much in favor and toques composed of
it are ornamented with jet four-leaf
clovers. All shades of purple and
lavender will be employed in the con-
struction of hats. 4 large turban-like
affair of coarse purple straw has q
tulle crown, and at the left side is II
huge bunch OF purple and yellow pan
sizes. A popular shape is called
"Directoire. 1t sets back on the
head, the sides turned up, making a
point over the face, and the brim be
hind is cut to fall down on the hair.
A dainty 'Directoire' model of white
straw is embroidered with JET paiilettes
and decorated with yiolets. Many
of the hats have strings Of black velvet
coming from under the brim i'll the
back. Another model OF black straw
lined with white, Under the rolling
sides are soft pink roses. \ dainty
hat of white straw, lined with black,
has brim that rolls upon one side to
show a chou of black velvet. The
brim is trimmed with pansies and vel
vet. A distinctly new feature this
season is hat of cloth. A chic crea-
ton has brim of black velvet and a
soft crown of jetted cloth-of gold.

Tight lacing and everything else in
the way of personal attire that might
be detrimental to health are to be dis
carded by the girl pupils in the High
School of Newark, n. J. Abandon
ing stays and tight fitting waists, the
girls will wear pretty, loose shirt
waists. Dress reform is now APP
parently the motto of the High School
The girls are enthusiastic over it, and
the teachers are delighted, for they
have argued long and persistently for
it and have made it the subject of
lessons and talks in the class rooms,
and of private talks to pupils whose
health they feared was being injured
by tight lacing. The reform has been
fastened by the preparations for the
physical culture classes soon to be
started.
The methods of dressing most pop
ular among the school girls have long
given the teachers cause for worry.
Recently young woman pupil was
asked to return home and arrange her
clothing so that her waist measure
would be added TO by several inches.
This was deemed necessary for her
health and comfort at study. With
most of the girls, the trim, neat belt,
fashionable and pretty, appears to be
an irresistible temptation and to pull
in just another notch was the easiest
thing in the world for them to do.
Arguments in favor of ample breath
ing space were made, and everything
is now satisfactorily settled. The
girls are to wear to school n pretty,
loose shirt waist, part of the gym,
nasium costume which has just been
adopted, and in which the basket bal
class will appear at practice. The en-
tire suit is of black material, and in
cludes boomers, which are to be worr
only in the gymnasium and bIaci
stockings and slippers. The shir
waist is to have red braid trimmings
The suit is pretty and practical, ant
the girls are much pleased with it
The boomers are very full and grace
full and not unduly conspicuous. Th'
waist, not being blouse, is proper t.
be worn in the class rooms. An adj
Unstable collar makes it possible t,
give the waist "dressed up appear
ance.

Fashion Notes.

Narrow silk fringes with network
headings are used for trimming gowns
and silk blouses as well.
Some of the newest Examines aud
French bareges are barred with satin
and delicately figured with Louis
NV, designs in natural colorings.
Fawn and dull-colored laces gener-
ally are one of the desirable dress
trimmings. Fawn .colored lace on a
silk waist worn with fawn cloth suit
is the smart thing.
Silk, light wool fabrics, and hand
some silk and wool mixed materials,
crinkled, waved, chevroned, barred,
chenille dotted and creponed, in
wholly novel markings, are now to be
seen.
For special occasions this summer
there will be worn handsome coats,
shorter jackets, and waists of lace

terms.
1t is asserted by the importers that
the new taffeta soyeauX weaves, manu-
featured with little or no dressing,
will wear better than any class of
silks put upon the market in many
seasons.
An idea in making up organdies is
the use of one color over another
black organdie over pink, or white
over heliotrope, and prettier still is
the use of deeper shade of the same
color for the organdie lining.
Quaint little poke bonnets of silk
are seen, with delicate flowers on q
white ground. One with pink flowers
has a bunch of close pink rosebuds
with knots of black velvet ribbon on
the inside of the poke, in style seen
IN fashion plates of many years ago.
The postillion back, short, narrow
coat-tails are to be seen on the new
suits, the coats cut up very short at
the sides and lengthening again in
front IN deep, round scallop or in q
short square front. Some have belts
and no basque below the waist. Most
OF the jackets are short and round up
over above the hip.

Jineu costumes will be worn very
mueb. some OF the heavier qualities Of
linen are made up in the coat and SKIRT

drup-skirt style. and trimmed with
hands of heavy insertion. A smart
rrass-hnen gown, with pink aud
white satin stripe. has the skirt cut IN
circular shape, and trimmed with three
broad bands Of heavy guipure lace.
The skirt is cut so that 1t flares very
much below the last band OF insertion.
The waist, which fits tightly in the
back. is rather loose in front, and has
sguare-yoke eject, encircled by a
ruiiie of the guipure lace. The lace
also edges the fronts of the waist, aud
falls in jabot on either side Of very
narrow tucked front of pink Liberty
silk. There is ribbon belt of pink
silk, and tied in at the wrists are little
bows of pink silk showing through the
lace ruflles. A very fine grass linen
with no color is made up over light
green lining. This is trimmed down
the front breadth with rows of lace in
sertion. The back is plain, rather on
the circular-skIrt effect, with no full
ness in the back at all, except where
it flares ont at the bottom, but the long
petticoat is made with very full ruff
iie hounce, and is so wide that 1t looks
full and yet clinging. The waist Is
almost tight fitting, quite tight fitting
Mt the back and sides. and IN front Is
trimmed with lace barbe that goes
around at the back, comes down the
front Of the waist, and then is slipped
through two bands of the linen, the
ends falling down over the waist on to
the skirt. This waist has vest OF
green Liberty silk very finely pleated.

and white Russian embroidery; the
waist is cut in an Elton jacket with long

a vest of red crepe cloth. Thus is a
very curious combination, and is made
still more curious by Il little row OF

A BRAVE KENTUcKIANs MONUMENT
tirst Soldier TO Law Down His Life In
the Louisiana Purchase.


the Louisiana Purchase.
One of the last acts of the late Con.
gress was TO authorize the Secretary
OF War 10 erect at the expense of
SjOUu a hitting monument over the re-
mains of Sergeant Charles Floyd. q
member of the Lewis and Clark expe-
dition, who died August 20. 1904

Sergeant Floyd was Kentuckian,

Captain Clark was an officer. and the
latter, writing of him, said: ellis

diary of Lewis and Clark under date
of August 20 it is recorded that after
a conference with an Indian warrior
named Stageaunia, which in English
means Great Blue Eye, "who begged
us to give them whisky, the Indians

to lose one. of our scrgeants. Charles
Floyd. He was yesterday seized with
bilious cholic, and all our care and
attention were ineffective to relieve
him. A little before his death he said
to Captain Clark: 4 am going to leave
you. His strength failed as he add,
ed: L want YOU to write me n letter. .
He died with composure which
justified the high opinion we had
formed of his tirmuess aud good con-
duct, He was buried on top of the
bluff with the honors due to brave
soldier. The place of his interment
was marked by cedar post on which
his name and the date of his death
was inscribed About mile beyond
the place to which we gave his rame

which we called Floyd's Creek"
The river still bears his name. as
you will see by reference TO the map.
