constitute a confession of natural de-
fects. Black satin is, perhaps. the most
favored material for them, but satins
and silks of all shades are used, and not
a little of crepe de chine is seen, Many
of the girdles are boned and this can be
done without suggesting bOX-like stiffness.
which will be ruinous Invisible fasten-
ing is favored. but the pulley principle is
applied to them, and not a few large
buckles are seen. Indeed, these orna-
mental fastenings seem to be increasing.
The logical outcome of this will be a re-
sort to undue showiness In buckles and
clasps. Then. about this time. to use the
phrase of almanac. prophets look for the
death of the fashion.
Gilt Trimmings 10 style.
Gilt trimmings are another current
feature that can be easily made too con-
spicuous. They have been in style for
months, and it is TO the credit of the
sex that they have not at any time ap-
preached that richness that suggests bar
baric spIendor and that offends good
u ste to-day. They are confined TO fine
threads 4nG faint tracery. Thus used
they are pretty and tasteful. They
should be used very sparingly on white,
are undeniably handsome, though the
combination of spOtless white and glow
ing gilt hints so of perishability as to
disturb stern economizers. This offense
if it can be classed so severely, is not
10 be compared, however. with mistakes
that are common in the use Of braids on
wash stuffs- Linen. khaki, and pique suits
are braided beyond all reason. Because
braid is pretty on them, there is no rea-
son for setting it on so thickly that the
surface OF the goods is obscured and its
texture stiffened out of all naturalness.
Scrolls and curlicues are ornamental
enough in their way, and in the stores
they seem in great variety. Yet on a
gown. particularly when applied literally,
they are more than likely 10 appear hope
lessly conventional. When braids last
were overdone in cloth tailor suits, there
was a painful object lesson in this mat
ter, and though this was but a few years
ago il seems TO have been forgotten One
reaction from the braided rig is as faulty
in quite another way That is the plain
white pique suit Their spiek and span
look is a delight 10 the eye, but the wo-
man who has had experience with them
Will hardly dare look at hers a second
time lest she discover a disfiguring spot
1t is harder 10 preserve their perfection
than ID keep promises.

Only a Freakish Taste.

Just now there Is not only no more OF
this development than can be accounted
for by freakish taste, but there seems no
call for any of 1t. Skirts may be double,
triple, or trimmed in so many different
ways that each wearer can select a meth
Cd to suit her taste or figure. OF course,
she ought always so to choose as to sat
isfy her ideas and set herself off nicely.
but il isn't ever thus. Were il otherwise
instructive. horrible examples would be
lacking. So many styles are permitted,
however that mistakes are more dreadful
than usual, and this license is so pleasing
in its results that women should be re-
luctant TO again join in a striking style so
radically unlike its immediate predecessor
* to dominate the entire field. When so
much can be said of what is permitted in
skirts It might be expected that sim
plicity or some degree of uniformity would
prevail in bodices. Nothing Of the sort
exists For every acceptance below the
belt there are ten above 1t. True, the
bolero is present in impressively large
numbers. but once the severely plain sorts
that go with simple gowns are counted
out there isn't the slightest danger of
monotony in these jackets. Between the
lildlciidiS t4ilDlDy Gu the val NGl
INDUCED. and the almost countless sorts
Of trimmings and schemes for applying'it,
a woman with half an idea Of her own in
her noddle need not scheme very deeply
TO cOntrive a jacket or an effect that shall
possess both originality and individuality.
That means distinction, and that is what
every woman strives for who has a desire
to appear stylish. Then of other bodice
finish there is no end.
The six gowns that appear in the
accompanying illustrations were models
set for fine dressers, and they illustrate
as we'll as any six could. the varied
beauties of incoming styles. Hundreds of
handsome dresses wouldn't tell the whole
story Brief outline of their details will
point this fact even more plainly than
the artist has done. The gown of the

accounts for the prevalence Of bodice

City Swept by Fire.
Business Portion of Prescott in Ashes No Water and Bremen Helpless.

Prescott presents scene fearful to behold. Four and half blocks, GOO by 300 feet, are completely wiped out. Not a building is left standing in the fire-swept district.
 The fire started just before II p. m. Saturday night and was not under control uutil 4:3O a. m. It was caused by lighted candle com ing in contact with loose wallpaper in Burchard's store, a two story frame building on South Montezu- ma street. Out of fourteen hotels only two are left and of twenty-two general mercantile houses twenty are gone, Gardner and Daugherty V being the fortunate ones. There was not restaurant or butcher shop left in the the town and but two dry goods and clothing houses. Both banks are gone. Their vaults, however, afford ample protection to the funds on hand Both are doing business in temporary quarters. All three of the newspaper offices were destroyed. Work is being done for them at the Phoenix offices until their new outfits arrive.
 Practically all of the property owners will rebuild at once and brick and stone will be principally used in the new structures. The fire, while the greatest disaster of its kind which has occurred in Ari- zona, will result in building up Prescott much better than it was.
 It is remarkable to note that only one person was known to be killed. An unknown man was burned in the Scopel building.
 The loss will reach over S1.000.0O0 with about S3OO,OO0 insurance.
 Several temporary places of busi- ness have been put up and prepara- tions are being made for building of the permanent structures. Prescott will be hustling place for the next year or so, on account of the number of buildings to go up.
