GATHERED HERE AND THERE.

young woman in this city was witness
of scene last Sunday while on her way
home from church that aroused her deep
Indignation. She told the story thus:
There was a group of little fellows. not
more than and s years old, with Sun
day-school books and Sunday clothes.

pennies undoubtedly give: them for the

BILE thing that those mites of boys should

was ong-dishonest-a mean and con-
temptible way OF getting other peoples
money. youngster not more than
looked up, and with the air OF a man of
the world. said patronizingly: why. miss,
you can't get along in this world II you
don't gamble "

at really begins to look as II some one
should agitate the definition of mans
sphere. since the 'woman's sphere ques-
ton has been allowed to drop into innoc-
uous desuetude,' said bachelor girl yes
terday. Men are asserting their rights
as dressmakers, milliners and cooks, and
even have invaded the realm of general
housework.' and all without A protest
But when man appears who claims fame
on the score of his toilets It does seem
time TO call a halt. Mr. Norman, OF the
British embassy, arrived In Washington
a short time ago with twenty-five trunks
filed with the lovelest things. It Is said,

Senator Dcpews "A week or two ago he
wore a marvellous fa~n Coiored cutaway
coat and trousers and waistcoat Of pearl
with fine stripes OF lavender. The waist
coat was double breasted and fastened
with gold-mounted pearl buttons. He wore
a flowing tie made OF a curious Oriental
silk. When one learns further that this
elegant has all mis- ties made from silk

that ali truly feminine souls should arise

scrolls. with deep navy blue and red
checked border at the bottom. The fanci-
full corners OF the cloth have been made
into a bolero of red and blue, which is
edged with coarse linen lace with tassels
OF linen.
The hat which Mrs. Whitney wears
with this dress is of course yellow straw
trimmed with red and blue null.
A pretty dress recently worn by Mrs
Burke-Roche is of white embroidered
muslin over green. The bodice and skirt
are altogether simple, with a bertha of
white muslin drawn about the shoulders.
The sleeves are somewhat novel, being
wide and puffed to the elbows, where
they suddenly contract and become tight
TO the wrists. where they are edged by
muslin ruffles. The feature of the cos
tune is large pink muslin hat from
which depends a pink muslin scarf. which
Is carried around the waist. fastened at
the belt and allowed to hang to the hem
of the gown.
The prettiest novelties of the summer
are to be found in shirts and cravats.

washable silk linens and cambrics and
transparent zephyrs.
Silk muslin is. however, the most fash
ionable OF all trimmings. 1t adorns the
most elaborate and the most simple of our
summer dresses. II lends itself the most
readily Of all materials to the long floating
effects which this season are sought, to
the depreciation of all other qualities.
II there Is anything to say about sleeves
IL Is that they are experimental. One
idea is fixed; II is that OF the very deep
yoke and the long shoulder seam.
indeed, the summer bodice is cut so low
that it seems dropping off the shoulders.
and despite the utmost efforts of chemi-
settle or "modesty piece" IL often excites
a thrill of apprehension in the beholder.
II is astonishing. indeed. how decollete
nomfnally high dress can be. The gauZy
chenisette Is not protective; II seems like
non-effeetuai BIT of underwear.
For the rest the sleeve Is in a state Of
transition. II is sometimes close, or fairly
close, to the elbows, giving place there to
an undersleeve Of muslin OF the old style,
which is pulled to the wrist and there
gathered into a close band. Again, it Is
occasionally wide above and suddenly con-
tracted at the elbow TO the close cylinder
that has prevailed. Some sleeves are
made even closer than was the case last
winter; others have an epaulette at the
sions below.
An Infinite variety OF pretty ligh>
dresses are included in the wardrobes OF
the June graduates and the even more
important June brides.
tasteful commencement dress Is made
OF fine white nuns yelling. The softly
hanging skirt with its slight train Is cut
with plaits in groups of three. The bolero
bodice. framed by a wide band of guipure,
opens over blouse Of white silk muslin.

the colored silk petticost IL no longer worn
by the "elegantes." In fact. II Is now con-
sidered vulgar. and the dainty white cam
brio skirt. with its tackinex and ine
needlework. fresh from the washtub and
ironing board, has again taken the place
1t never should have lost. Another hint
from Paris is that the dotted wells. which
are still worn over here, are altogether
tabooed, and plain tuIle Is alone consid-
cred in good style
Her correspondent also tells her that
only suede gloves should be worn. and thu,
she should have her thin summer gowns
made with elbow sleeves and wear long
gloves to meet them. II is by trifies such
as these that the leaders of fashion al

ing to the waist line.
y novelty in waists is made of ecru
linen crash. woven with an open mesh
which makes it ssmi-transparent. II is
trimmed with bands of white linen en-
broidered in colors, or with lace insertion
and black velvet ribbon. The material
looks like hop-sacking. but Is nevsrthe-
less stylish in effect

We observe from oelated copy ~of the Press Eagle Of date May ], that the Graphc's editorial policy in seeking to bring the perpetrators Of frauds in the recent Democratic primary, (as reported by the grand iury), to the bar of justice, does moi meet the approval md indorsemert of Editor Murray. How any honest man can oppose the ferretiue out ot those crimes against the liberties of the people and the ballot box. We are unable to understand. But the Graphic is not seeking MT.

Indeed, fl we had #, there would be occasion for pause and reflection. f not suspicion, for as q member of Congress once re marked when eensured bg Repub licaa House, eeusure eemieR from such q source should be worn as q badge of honor.
