SIMPLE, BUT ELEGANT
DAINTY DETAILS OF MODERN
FRENCH SITTING ROOM.
Pleasing Effects With Only Moder-

Written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
The educational value of the Paris exposi-
ton to women has been great 1t has not
only shown them what the great dress
making artists regard as fashionable, but
1t has given them new ideas as to how to
improve the appearance of their houses and
to tighten domestic labor by the use Of
many improved implements for work.
Nothing so impressed most Of our women
who went abroad as the simple yet elegant
furnishing Of the better class of French
houses. Not only in their dress. but in the
arranging Of their homes are the French a
clever people. The French women have as
much-nay. more-regard for the appear
ance Of an apartment than the average
American woman, yet the effects are pro-
duced at a cost that surprises the Ameri-
can woman when she learns how well her
sisters have done In this respect.
There are a lightness and airiness
about all the modern French decorative ef-
fects. The mention of interiors designed on
the style Of any of the Louises brings up
visions Of siender-backed chairs and fam
tastic tables. The furniture of Eng'and is
in direct contrast to this: it is always mas
sive and heavy. Much that goes French
In France is in reality Italian, for the De
Medici queens, both Catherine and Marie.
left the impress Of their taste and prefer
ences in more than one way upon the coun-
try|impressions that every little while re-
assert themselves in startling fashions.
An Ideal Sitting Room.
One interior in sage green and ecru, with
just touch Of gold, was almost universally
conceded to be an ideal for a sitting room.
The interior, it happened, was due to the
skill not of French. but an English de-
signer, to whom gold and silver medals
were awarded for excellence. The room
could be used as a boudoir or sitting room,
and very cozy such a den would be for the
fashionable woman. People of less means
noted it because it's simplicity showed that
it could be copied for a parlor, with less
expensive furnishings.
The floor was dark parquet. Across the
center of 1T was laid q wide, oblong rug,
showing sage green and ecru and deep
golden brown shades. The room itself was
rather oblong. Instead of the corners being
supplied with large, heavy pieces Of furni-
ture, they were unobtrusively fitted with
chairs, while one held a small divan.
The chairs were all odd ones, some OF
them Of the deep, luxurious, cushioned sort,

New Effects In Bolero..

It is astonishing what long reign the
bolero has had and is still having It is
made in every material known-in cloth,
silk, satin, velvet, yelling, lace, mousseline
de sole, etc. 1t is made short and rounded
in front or with long tabs reaching below
the waist. At the back, however, It is
short enough to show the waistband.
All kinds OF trimmings have been in
vented to trim boleros and Jackets both
within and without. as wide ribbon fast
ered to each shoulder inside the bolero and
then crossed over the bust, to be finally
fastened inside the wafstbelt; or instead
Of the ribbon band Of Turkish, Japanese
or Indian embroidery. or a band of silk or
satin embroidered In gold or colored silk
may be used.
These bands are like the bretelles of old
and look still prettier on q blouse without
q bolero or Jacket, but then they should
be continued at the back as well a. on -
front.

EVENING GOWNS.
They Are Most Elaborate, Both in Ma

They Are Most Elaborate, Both in Ma
terial md Makeup.
Although plainness of style is the leading
feature in morning gowns, 1t Is just the
reverse for evening wear. everything being
of the most elaborate description, and the
materials employed are more costly than
ever they have been before. Handwork
silk embroidery and real lace are the most
fashionable decorations for theater b,ouses
and table dhote bodices, and many Of the
newest shape skirts intended for evening
wear are profusely trimmed with wide in
sertion lace or silk passemepterie
A dinner frock which was really superb
and could only be worn by Z tall and state
ly woman had a foundation OF cream orien-
tai satin. on which was a beautiful raised
design Of black velvet roses. The front
was open TO let in panel OF finely plated
white crepe de chine, and between each
plait was an inf1nitesimal insertion of black
Chantilly lace. From the shoulders came
train OF oriental satin brocade, and at
either side was broad piece of crepe de
chine, supporting deep frills Of black Chan
tilly lace and white chiffon. The front of
the bodice was cut in bolero fashion, show
Ing corselet of jet and steel armor, which
looked as II it were nodded to the figure.
1t was cut long In front and had a Marie
Antoinette effect. The bolero consisted OF
lace and chiffon. One Sleeve was represent
ed by three straps of the steel armor, while
the other was composed Of a falling hand
kerchief piece Of black lace.
A smart dinner dress is made Of black
Spanish lace over the white silk. The skirt
is accordion plated and Is trimmed with
three founces Of black tulle round the bot
tom. The bodice is plated like the skirt
and Is fulled into a yoke Of transparent
white lace. The corselet Is OF white en-
broidered silk with old strass buttons in
front. For a ball dress there is nothing
more lovely than white net embroidered
with arabesques of spangled satin outlined
mass Of pink roses, with trail of foliage
falling to the feet,

RedinEOtes.

Very stylish redingotes are made of a
seal and beige colored striped soft wooden
material resembling homespun, but much
lighter.
They have large cape and are edged
round with a satin band stitched with gold
colored silk. The buttons are Of brown
mother Of pearl.
A more dressy redingote is of pastel blue
liberty silk made in empire style-that is,
with full skirt. gathered on to blue vel
vet yoke. A blue velvet collar also forms
pretty frame round the head and neck; no
other trimming.

pretty, are seen in many novel adaptations
straight, curved and pointed. The -plaits
are of braided lace, trimmed and embrofd-
cred.
Novel Effects.
The use Of insettings of velvet crossed by
narrow bands of ribbon or velvet is an odd
and intricate effect in the trimming of some
of the more fragile of the winter frocks.
Small ovals of velvet set into the cloth are
not an unusual design; the velvet is some
times half covered with painted flower.
There seems a tendency to make use of any
decorative device which will put more work
upon the gown.
Empire styles are expected for part OF
the winter at least, as some Of the most
expensive shops are exhibiting their costli-
est winter coats following closely the en-
pire mode 1t is likely that they will see
no decrease in favor until spring. One
sumptuous cloak of this sort had bodice
collar and shoulder trimming together with
the wide panel down the front of beautiful
ermine. The body of the cloak was Of

arate silk waists and the shirt waists afford
an unlimited opportunity for novelties of
fastening, and OF course for using pretty
buttons or buckles. A smart waist has a
round yoke, and below the yoke some full

Autumn Jackets.

From Harper's Bazar.
Jackets and waists very rarely now fasten
directly in front. They are wide, double
breasted affairs, or else simply button at
one side. Occasionally the plan is tried OF
the buttons or fastenings starting from the
shoulder and going diagonally across the
waist to the belt. but more often the
makers simply fasten the garments in the
regular double-breasted style. The sep

To Disinfcct q Room.

Shut up the apartment, put one or two
buckets Of water in the room and fix an
earthenware saucer over each (you can
easily balance them on tongs laid across).
Put some sulphur in each saucer, place q
red-hot coal on top, go out. fastening the
door carefully, and leave for twenty-four
hours Allow five ounces of sulphur to
every hundred cubic feet. After this scrub
the floors with carbolic soap. Unless pa.
pered with a sanitary paper that can be
washed with disinfectant, it is well to
tear off the paper before beginning the dis.
injecting process, as both ceiling and wall
need to be repapered or whiteWashed.

Of Herman Goughenbaugh from like

about six weeks ago for the Cape Nome

the paper above referred to:
1.-TWO men died at Seward City Tues

Homestead Entry on the Forest Re-
berve.

The following letter was received
Tuesday by Attorney Ed. L. Grantham
from Mr.. A. K. Gardner, register Of the
United States land Office at Rapid City,
In answer to query as to the limit OF
time accorded settlers on the Black
Hills forest reservation to make filing
on their land. AS this is a matter OF
considerable importance to large num-
ber of our local readers, We publish the
letter in full:
V.S. LxS5 OFFiCE, RAPID CRY, 8 ID. /
June 26, 1910.
Mr.. Ed. i. GRANTHAM, Custer, S. ID.
DEAR SIR:-Replying to your inquiry
with reference to the 80 days limit with
in which to make homestead entry in
the Black Hills forest reserve you are
advised that in my opinion. actual set
tiers upon sections 16 or 36 would en-
danger their rights by not Cling within
the 90 days from the date Of the filing Of
the plat Of the township in which land
is situated in this Office, for the reason
that the rights Of the state will attach to
said sections at the expiration of the
80 days period. Where the settler is
not upon either section 10 or SO, and 1t
is impossible for him to make filing
within the 90 days, am of opinion that
he would be allowed to make his filing
after the expiration OF the 80 day period
on showing by affidavit setting forth
why he had not made his filing prior to
the expiration OF the said period
In cases where special survey is re-
quired. and settler has made his appli-
cation to the surveyor general for such
survey, in my opinion, this is a suffi-
cient excuse for not filing within the 80
days, and he would be allowed to make
his filing after the said survey shall
have been made and approved. / am
Of the opinion, however. that the appli-
cation for survey should be made within
the 80 days unless there is good cause
shown for not doing 80.
Very Respectfully,
A. K. GARDNER, Register.
