Being out of town for several
days we heard a great deal about
smallpox at Ora, so much so that
we were almost afraid to come
back. On returning we found it
was oil a fake. Strange what erro-

the slightest foundation. We are
glad to say that not a single case

Items of Information Regarding the
Latest I'm Styles and
Fabrics.


Summer hats are more universally
Eorn over the brow than back from it.
Cloth suits are given a pretty finish
by having extra revers of white duck
or pique, which can be buttoned on for
! change.
Sheath skirts have but one dart over
each hip and these must be fitted on the
wearer; when carefully pressed one can
hardly discern the seam
Belts.-A belt of the silk elastic now
worn will fit snugly, and a small clasp
will not add to your waist measure.
The front edges of close-fitting waist
need bone half way up.
Black nets at 80 cents are made up
for evening wear and are of the Brus-
sci net weave requiring a silk lining.
yelling or grenadine may be lined
with silky percaline, but of course
taffeta is handsomer.
Girls organdie frocks are most elab-
orately trimmed with lace, or quite
plainly trimmed with tucks. Organdie
seldom looks well after it has once been
washed, and much pressing seems to
take all the body out of it.
Surplice fronts are on some of the
newest silk waists, each front being
tucked diagonally or straight, and the
tapped edges finished with frill, leav-
ing space for v made of tucks or of
lace. Everything is tucked this season.
A Dressy Coat.-Use the five yards of
black satin for dressy coat with long
revers made in tailor style to wear with
satin skirt, line with white silk, and
in the early fall or cool summer days
wear this with chiffon, lace or tucked
silk front
Fall silks will include taffeta, satin
Duchesse, peau de sole, gros grain and
brocades. Some manufacturers predict
the return of surah, but in the mean
time 1 would not advise you to buy
either it or faille, but would choose
satin or heavy taffeta in preference.
Plaid Cheviot.-Four yards and half
sheath skirt to wear with odd waists,
put you cannot cut it on the bias and
match all of the lines down the seams
without wasting great deal of ma
terial. Patterns for these skirts cost
from ten to twenty-five cents.
Bingham does not shrink as the ma
terial used to do, but it is still wise to
allow deep hem on the skirt, extra
ength tucked at the top Of the sleeves,
ard long waist in this fabric. AS a
change, trim some of the frocks with
blue and white, or red and white, en-
proidery instead of all white or the
usual white background.
Plaid silk used to lengthen plain
cloth skirt should be sewed on the lin
ing as a sham with the former skirt now
worn like a long overskirt; the plaid
toreappear as lining to the cuffs, tucked
collar, belt, and loose front over which
is placed the second front, slashed in
several places and cut low in the neck
to show the plaid.-Ladies' Home Jour
