Now that our dresses are made to fit so
tightly around the hips well-fittinr under
clothing is a necessity. The latest Partisan
idea Is to have chemise and peiticoat made
In one The upper part is cut 10 fit the fig
ure without the least vestige Of fullness,
and then below the hips it widens out into
an ordinary skirt. These garments have
simply a strip of lace OF ribbon 10 support
them on the shoulders and fasten down

Tucks and PIaits.
The use of plaits on the early spring
skirts is most pronounced. One never sees
a gown that has not some plating upon it,
and even the very light silks are laid IN
deep. double, even triple, box plaits, held
in place by rows of stitching, bands of lace
or ruching. Organizes and other light
gowns are made up in the same style, and,
while very pretty while fresh and new, 1t
is doubtful if those carefully lad plaits
will look quite so artistic after a week or
two of wear Only superhuman intelligence
in a laundress need be expected To cope
successfully with the REIMBURSEMENT of the
complicated structure after washing.
The refinement of a lady is well indicated
by the manner in which she uses scents.
All heavy scents are accounted vulgar, yet
this was not always the case. AT a recent

cred it to be a memorandum book recording
the sales of perfumes made by the most
celebrated perfumers and cosmetic makers
to the ladies of Marie AntOinette's court.
That unfortunate dame herself was
heavy purchaser. One order ALONE. was for
ten pounds of rose pomatum and twelve
fagons of jasmine odor for her majesty

Ashland, Wis, Aug. "a round mil

Of this city yesterday. The flames

fire fighters during the afternoon and
probably nothing else saved the mil

evening the wind veered toward the
city and in a short time was blowing
a gale. Every bit of fire apparatus in

merchandise and several miles Of rail-

dynamite was brought and piles Of
lumber and scores of small buildings
were blown into atoms and after three
hours of hard work the flames had ap-

the great saWmills had been destroyed
but the loss was easily a million dol

whole city was in the greatest danger,

was eating through the remaining lum-

nado accompanied by a terrific hail
and rain storm started near Thompson,

the northwest through a rich farming
country. through many thriving settle
ments and across into Minnesota,
where it spent its fury in the Red Lake
Indian reservation. A strip of country
yarvng from eight to ten miles in
width. and a hundred miles long, was
torn by the furious winds; houses were
partially wrecked and hundreds Of
barns destroyed. while the remainder
of the wheat and Oat crops, which were
about half harvested. was pounded in
to the ground by the hail. Fortunately
no persons were killed outright, al
though many received injuries which
will undoubtedly result in death. No
estimate of the financial loss Is pos
