PARIS, Aug. pa summary of all the
various new and rejuyenated ideas express
ed in the latest models from the great
emporiums of fashion makes a certainty CT
two Overwhelmingly. that the bolero,
as an actual jacket or as Stimulating gar
niture, is as much in vogue for the coming
fall and winter as il has been in seasons
past, and that lace in all its most effective
world to an almost inconceiyable extent.
Whether fashioned in compliance with the
strictest tailor lines, or combined with the
airy stuffs or heavy silks to constitute the
modern evening gown, the bolerO jacket
and lace adornments Will be everywhere in
evidence.
The gown of our illustration emanates
from the atelier of the famous Robert,
ard has several novelties to recommend
beside the inevitable jacket and the lace
garnitnre. The wooden material OF the
skirt and jacket is the newest Concep-
ton of the manufacturer and promises to
figure in many OF the seasons models.
II is soft yet firm, and may be called q
wooden poplin from its ribbed appearance,
which initiates the silk poplins- The color
is soft pastel blue taken from the latest
color card, which proves that the decree
has gone forth that light neutral shades
will be the most in vogue for the ensu-
ing winter. The skirt is three-gored and
fits faultIessly over the hips and back and
closes in the left seam of the front gore

materials and colors to which it easily
lends itself.
Doucet is the originator of our second
model of an elegant afternoon reception
or tea toilet. Ivory tinted cloth, which
survives the last season and enters into
the composition of some of the most styl-
ish articles of wear for fall and winter.
composes the long, supple skirt. with its
soft flare and train lined with ivory silk.
Grey guipure lace, in floral design in
crustates the flare and train and extends
in trailing vine along the side. The
bodice of ivory cloth closes in the shout
der and underarm seams, and is intersect-
ed by a half boiero, half fichu drapery of
rose-colored meusseline de sole. which
encircles the bodice and finishes over the
bust with a soft bow held by a jeweled
pin. The lower part of the bodice over
laps the fichu portion and is lined with
ivory silk and edged with fine ruching
of white mousseline de sole. The very
high collar, which extends into a short
point over the chest, is of grey guipure
over white silk, and the tight sleeves of
cloth have inserted points of guipure at
the shoulders and wrists, where the cloth
is cut away to disclose the ivory silk lin
ing.
A marked departure will be the extended
use of lace on millinery for day wear The
use of this material has hitherto confined
itself only TO winter headgear for the
dressiest occasions, but Will now be con-
verted into number of fanciful draperies
and trimmings to decorate the most stylish
hats for all uses. FELIX FOURNERY.

seams, and hem. A pleated dust-ruffle of
inside of the hem. Heavy dark gray
piece guipure is cut into two fitted bands
OF different widths forming insertions
which simulate a double tunic Fo lowing
the effective style so prevalent during the
summer. the wooden poplin is cut away
from underneath these bands, thus per-
mitting the satin lining to show through
the meshes of the lace narrower band
of lace trims the hem of the long faring
skirt, and, like the upper insertions, is
finished with a tiny ruching Of pastel blue
liberty silk. This ruche garniture is fur

around the skirt and along the left side.
The short bolero of blue cloth, which
covers the back and chest smoothly, is bor-

four straight rows of the ruching extend

adaptable to tall, slender figures, and has
the advantage of being equally useful for

The HoteIIntroducer.

1T is a custom" said a well-known
hotel man to a New York Sun" repor-
ter, "for managers of some seaside and
mountain hotels to employ women to in
duee his guests. A clever woman OF
tact can earn from SIS to $25 week and
board at this She must be educated, tact
full. and pleasant, and have the rare facul-
ty of being able to ingratiate herself into
the good graces of women guests and in
troduce them to others, SO as TO make
them feel at home, and provide company
for those who otherwise might be lonely
during their stay.
When a man and his wife arrive at a
hotel they do not readily make acquaint-
ances, because they do not know who is
who The proprietor or manager has not
the time to introduce people. If he has a
smart woman TO attend TO this all will go
well. She keeps a sharp lookout for all
arrivals. OF course. in big hotel she
can't wait on all. The women folks meet
in the corridors, parlors, porticoes. etc,
and a woman of tact will not find il diff
cult TO approach new women guests or
course, this woman is not publicly known
as an introducer or entertainer. She is
recognized simply as a guest staying at
the hotel. She must have husband who
is employed or IN business or In proies-
sion.

Her Military Salute.

Cardinal Gibbons was feted and enter
tanned at Southampton last week. and be-
tween eloquent sermons ate many elabo-
the chit-chat OF afternoon teas But
probably no incident OF his visit to the
little Newport" impressed him as much
as did what might be called the incident
of the scrub woman, says the CONNER
cial Advertiser" His eminence slim and
ascetic looking in his black coat. with his
broad brimmed straw hat and crimson
neckcloth, walked into the hall of the
hotel (true to its principles the little
Newport has but one), on the floor of
which a large and vigorous woman was
welding a brush and mop. Lifting her
eyes from her work she encountered the
keen blue eyes of the cardinal, who raise l
his hat and smiled pleasantly. This was
too much for the lady at the mop. She
had been in the crowded church on the
previous Sunday and heard the sermon of
the old gentleman who stood before her,
but she hadn't had the courage to follow
the scarlet and lace dignitary out of the
church to the rectory there TO kneel and
kiss his amethyst ring-aS many had
done. And now here he stood smiling at
her as il she were as good as bishop her
self She afterward explained that she
had scrubbed down at Montauk last sum
mer, and had even seen the great Theo-
dore at close range, but it had not pre-
pared her for the shock of saluting the
cardinal calmly. OF course the cardinal
didn't know the warning thoughts that
were passing through the poor woman's
mind as he paused at the door So he was
a bit taken aback 10 see her straighten
up to a kneeling position. throw back her
shoulders. bend her head close her eyes
and with her right hand-the other still
clasping the mop of duty-give him a

II Comes From Rocl,inr

And now an English scientist has told
US that the American woman owes the
symmetry OF her limbs TO that great insti-
tuition. the rocking chair. IF you viii con-
sider," he explained the other day TO a
dinner party at Atlantic City, the exercise
one gets on rocking-chair you will see
that ] am right. How many times, on
these broad wind blown piazza, does a
young woman rock herself in the course
of d morning? I fancy it would take a cal
eulating baTger to tell you that At any
rate, the exercise she gels is excellent and
ample. That push which the toes give TO
keep the chair in motion. repeated and re-
psated, makes the instep high, the calf
ro;Iad and full and it keeps misshaping
flesh of the ankle, keeping the ankle deli
cate and slender" There is no doubt about
the scientists good intentions. but as nine
women out Of ten rock exclusively with
the right foot, leaving the left to enjoy
free rides ad libitum. what becomes of the
argument2 II the right foot and limb owes
its development to pedal exercise, how is
it that the left, which so few women use
in rocking. is just as round and curved. 1t
would seem. under the circumstances, that
the scientist might give another dinner
talk TO explain. And while he was about

a woman rocking is so calculated TO drive
the people about her insane?

New wrinkle for wrinkles.

Fruit-poultices are the latest fad for the
complexion. They should be worn all
night. and are said TO be specific for
wrinkles The best fruit is the strawber-

the fruit spread on a hand Of linen and
tie over the wrinkled part of the face The
result is said to exceed the widest ex-
pectations. Other directions for the com

The Copper Queens Nacosari Hines

A correspondent of the Fl Paso Times gives the following information in regard to the development of the Copper Queen company's property at Nacosari, Sonora, and plans of rail road to be bnilt from Bisbee:
 "A tunnel one and one quarter mile long is being cut into the side of the mountain to tap the bottom of shaft 500 feet deep. In the process of sink ing the shaft considerable ore has been taken out and run down the mountain side in surface shutes.
 ''Nacosari is 100 miles south of Bis bee and 30 miles southwest of Pilares. The proposed railroad from Bisbee to Nacosari will pass within 30 miles oi Pilares, and of course will get the en- tire haul of ore from this territory, m. less the Sierra Madre company builds in here from the east.
 ''There is a report current here that the Copper Qneen company has secnr- ed concession from the Mexican gov eInment for railroad from Bisbee via Nacosari to the Pacific Another re- port has it that the Copper Queen com pany will turn this concession over to the Santa Fe company and buy enough Santa Fe bonds or stock to pay the cost of building the road from Bisbee as far as Nacosari. That would mean that the projected trans. continental line to stop Topolobampo bay would be a Santa Fe line

An Exciting Horse Race.

Sheriff c. II. Behrens had a very ex-
citing chase from Redding to Keswiek
to day, SAYS a recent dispatch from
Redding, Texas. Ernest Gentry, who
is under arrest awaiting the arrival of
the Sheriff from Socorro, y. NJ, where
ne is wanted for having stolen 5000
in government scrip, was taken before
Justice Of the Peace Herzinger tor the
correction OF an error in the papers on
which he is held. Sheriff Brehens has
been watching the express Office aud
mail closely for the missing scrip. Yes
terday a package labeled "hfe insar-
ance policy arrived at the Wells-Far-
90 Office at Keswick for Gentry. Sher-
iG Brehens was getting ready to go af-
ter il Today when Gentry wss taken to
the court room. Gentry's step father,
Jacob Randall, of Keswiek, was pres
ent.
When he was not watched Gentry
wrote an order for the package and
rave il TO Randall. Randall ran out,
jumped upon his horse and started for
Keswick on the run. Sheriff Behrens
hastily procured saddle horse and
went in hot pursuit to beat Randall to
the Keswiek express office. Both men
are experienced horsemen and they
fairly fiew over the mountain trails.
Randall had fifteen minutes start, but
Behrens overlook him when 100 yards
from the Office, after having covered
the eight miles over the mountains in
/ thirty-five minutes.
Both men sprang from their horses
aud rushed into the office. At the
Sherifi-s order the package was deliv-
cred to him. II was found to contain
nothing but life insurance policy IN
favor Of Gentry's mother, just as it was
labeled. The officers are confident that
Gentry and Randall believed the pack
age contained the missing government
scrip, and the express and mail will bt
very closely watched. The insurance
policy probably was sent TO see if the
package would get through safely.

Give the Credit Due.

From the ST. Louis Globe-DemOcrat
An enthusiastic welcome has greeted
the Pennsylvania regiment, just return
ed from the Philippines, as it paraded
through the streets of San Francisco.
''The Pennsylvanians are a sturdy-look-
ing lot,n says dispatch and "their
spick and span appearance commanded
great attention" Three volunteer
regiments from Manila have reached
San Francisco to be mustered out. The
Oregon regiment brought back over 1000
men. The Nebraskans report total
loss of sixty-two men. The Pennsyl-
vanians lost an aggregate Of only
twenty-four men. Here are three regi-
ments which after a years service,
largely on the firing line in Luzon and
in the trenches, return TO their homes
with a combined mortality of less than
$50. All saw more or less hard fight
ing and marching. 1t was the Penn
sylvanians who stood the brunt of a
Spanish night sortie during storm.
The Nebraskans and Oregonians were
in the thick of the engagements reach
ing from Manila to Malolos and San
Fernando, and passed through several
ugly ambuscades. But they are back
home looking well and with ranks but
little reduced when comparison is made
with former wars.
In the face of figures so significant il
is useless to say that these regiment:
have not been intelligently handled
aud well cared for. They are healthy
make fine appearance on parade and
their mortality list is small. They have
worked steadily, fought bravely and
seen some hardships, but all this is il
a line of a soldiers duty. Those wh'
do not count upon such an experience
should not enter the service. Many ;
regiment in the civil war returned witt
less than 200 men. The regular army
in that struggle was literally shot on
of existence. When the yellow in
terviewers circulate in these returning
regiments to collect material to effee
the removal of Otis and back up th
claim that the war is failure the mel
in the ranks might well point to thei
long line to show how well Otis ha
guarded their comfort and health, Sc
cured them the vantage ground il
fighting and preserved them from di'
aster. These regiments are lot in tn
shape that bespeaks an incompeten
General.
