New YORK, June 24.-Hemstitching
as fashionable garniture of fine dress
es never struck me until the other day,
when l saw three beautiful gowns Of
fine nuns yelling and linen batiste
done with that peculiar kind of handi-
work for ornamentatiOn. The old rose
yelling had a hounce set on Is inches
wide, and this was hemmed with row
of hemstitching in coarse silk. Down
the joining Of the f1Ounce at intervals
were rows of the same. The waist and
sleeves were done to carry out the
same idea. The whole effect was ele-
CANT. The linen batiste was done in the
same way, only little more elaborate
effect was produced by having the silk
IN a different color. The linen was
grass color and the silk a pale russell
red. The whole scheme OF color was
carried out in the same way, and the
dress was very taking.
Another new wrinkle is to have in
sets shaped like bagpipes without the
pipes, and enough are used to go clear
around the skirt. They are made Of en-

If you will play being at a summer
resort, you will have more fun than
they. Your husband will rise up and
call you blessed, and the other men,
when they hear of 1t, will fall over one
another In their eagerness to get invita-
tons to your house. If you have =
pretty daughter-well, more than one
girl has met her fate by staying right
at home in the hot city instead of vast
ing her smiles in a manless summer
resort.
Take up your expensive rugs and put
away your heavy furniture. Shade the
windows with striped awnings. Scat
ter potted flowers and cool, green
palms wherever it is possible. Have
plenty Of light literature around and
deep wicker chairs with linen cushions,
Make the evening meal attractive with
a bunch of flowers and serve plenty Of
iced things. Furnish the veranda with
easy chairs and little tables, so that the
men can lounge and smoke there. II
you haven't veranda, the roof may be
turned into a delightful spot by means
of an awning and a few japanese Ian

cooling drinks and don't scorn an
acquaintance with ragtime melodies.
Above all, look cool and dainty your
self In pretty muslins, such as you
would wear If you were away from
home. If you follow this plan, / don't
think you will find your summer in

which was edged with a row of bluet
colored ribbon and headed by band Of
black lace insertion. Two more of
these f1ounces were placed lower down
and trimmed in the same manner. One
line of the ribbon was set along the
front of the whole skirt, lengthening
ment of the ribbon was made on the
waist, and there was a vest of white
silk, with lace in the center, and wide
revers covered with the black lace and
edged with q gathering Of the white
silk. The sleeves were quite compli-
Gated, having caps. elbow cuffs and a
puff of silk null. The forearm parts
were of white silk with white lace in
sertion. The hat and parasol matched
as nearly as possible, the hat having a
drapery of light pearl and bluet colored
silk null, with rosette of bluet velvet
at the left side to match the draped
belt. The parasol was of pearl colored
silk with a deep flounce Of bluet silk
null edged with white lace. Some par
asols are of delicate green silk with no
end Of crepon ruffies In the same shade.
This is the prettiest of all the parasols.
but is more for ornament than use, for
green on the face makes it CHASTITY,
and naturally the shade of green must
rest on the face If the parasol is held
up.
The costume described Is one Of those
which can be copied into almost any
material which will take lace as trim
ming. Even pique can be used if black
braid is put in place of the lace.

Editor Picayune Ali those who have
bssa at the Louisiana Chautsuqua have
brought from their summer experience
there the pleasantest recollections. We
60 very far from our own State for a sum

Paradise to reach which we have travelled
for hundreds of miles, for Cnautauuua is
a garden Of Eden, with its luxuriant tcrest,
clear crystal springs, sloping. verdsnt
hills, and, st-etching above all. the match
less sky of fair Louisiana.
Tne Chautauqua Is easily reached now
from New Orleans. The Texas PasI6c.
with its round trip ticket, will deposit in
the shady mark of the Chautauqua the
tourists anxious to drink OF it's healing
waters, to wander In its sh sdes or pArtake
Of the abundant fare OF It's hotels.
But 1t lie not only by its sylvan beauty
that the Chautauqua charms her visitors.
Under its cool spreading OAKS, on the crest
Of its breezy hills, are the halls of learning.
which are its principal attractions. Tulane
Hal, State University Hall, Normal School
= all, the school OF pedagogy, Of literature,
Of mathematics, OF physical culture, OF
langusge, history and music, under ex-
perienced teachers, are all opened to an
eager, enthusiastic crowd.

cises, to taste the cool waters of the
Pierisn spring, and inhale the bzlmy arr
OF the pines, q deep, feeling Of rest steals

good night OF healthiul repose. f-gf /
The Chautauqua is also the center OF

DOVER, Del, January Is. 1.-The result of
last nights union republican caucus, when
sixteen members Of the legislature nominat-
ed J. Edward Addicks fer United States
senator, lent interest to the initial vote for
the two senatorships taken separately by the
two houses of general assembly today. Prior
to the convening of the legislature today
the anti-Addicks, or as they are termed,
regular republicans, held caucus and
agreed to vote for Charles F. Richards of
Georgetown for the short term for United
States senator and Col Henry A. Du Pont
of Wilmington for the long term. The union
republicans, on the other hand, recognize
no candidate but Mr.. Addieks.
The refusal of the regular republicans to
go into the union republican caucus, even
with the assurance that they could have
the long term senatorship at their dispo-
SAL indicated, as the first ballot showed,
that deadlock would be the result. The
total vote of the two houses on the first
ballot was as follows:
For constitutional term beginning March
4, 1901: Richard r. Kenney, democrat,
Kent county, %; John Edward Addicks,
union republican. New Castle county, IS;
Henry A. Du Pont, regular republican, New

QUAY HAS VOTES TO SPARE
HIS FRIENDS EXPECT 1872 ON JOINT
BALLOT.
1t Takes 127 to Elect-He Continues to
Draw From Antfs'
Ranks.

HARRISBURG Pa, January 15.-That
Colonel M. s. Quay will be elected United
States senator today by the Pennsylvania
legislature Is conceded by the leaders of
the opposition.
The house and senate will vote separately
at o'clock this afternoon and it is gem
orally believed that Mr.. Quay will receive
a majority vote in each body. The two
houses will meet in joint session at noon
tomorrow to canvass the vote and declare
an election.
Attorney General Elkin and other lieu
tenants of Mr.. Quay predict his combined
vote will be at least 132, or five more than
necessary to choice He received 123
votes in the joint republican senate and
house caucus, which met two weeks ago
and made its unanimous choice. In addl-
ton to the votes which were then cast for
him it is conceded that Representatives
Benjamin F. Welty of Franklin and Thos.
]. Reynolds of Lackawanna, who voted
with the anti-Quay republicans on the or
ganization, will vote for him. he Will also
receive the vote of John H. Thompson of
Centre who was unable to be present when
the house organized on account OF illness,
and who has since issued statement that
he will vote for Mr. Quay. In addition TO
these votes it is expected that Representa-
tves Charles w. Neeb of Allegheny and
Thomas X. Beaver of Juniata, who have
been counted among the doubtful, will vote
for him. Representative Isaiah r. Halde-
man of Montgomery, who is pledged 70
Colonel quay, Is detained at NOME NY Ai-
ness, and he has been paired with Rep-
resentative Arthur H. Squier of Wyoming
democrat.
Representatives Madison A. Garvin Of
Adams, VIM. j. Calvin of Schuylkill and
George ]. Maloney of Venango, democrats
are absent without pairs.
Colonel James NJ. Guffey of Pittsburg, the
democratic caucus nominee for senator, left
this morning for Texas to look after his
oil interests with the assurance of his lieu
tenants that he would receive the full demo-
cratic vote.
At a conference Of the ant-Quay republi-
can senators and members held this morn
ing it was decided to divide the anti-Quay
votes among Representative John Dalzeil OF
Pittsburg, Colonel George F. Huff OF
Greensburg, Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith of Philadelphia, ]. Howard
Harris president Of Bucknell College, Lew
isburg; Charles Tubbs of Tioga and ex-
Attorney General H. c. Mccormick of Will
Transport.
Representative Samuel A. Kendall or
Somerset who has heretofore voted with
the anti-Quay republicans, announced this
afternoon in a public statement that he
would vote for Colonel Quay.
This makes it practically certain that
Colonel Quay will be elected today on the
first ballot without the necessity for joint
ballot.
