notion is particularly effective when
a dress is made in the empire design.
A slender young married woman can
be recommended to have her new
evening gowns built in this very be-
coming fashion.
The empire gowns of to-day are, Of
course, belted under the bust by a
broad band of some very handsome
trimming, but the waistline is more
fully indicated than it was, Judging
from pictures, in the first Napoleon's
days. In fact, a firmly-ftting prin-
cess dress of satin up to the bust COW
cred with lace robe that is only
slightly shaped into the figure, then
a belt under the bust, and short
bodice above, with little pulled
sleeves, gives the best effect; and it
is very graceful style for a suitable
figure. The skirt portion of such
gown can be trimmed with trailing
embroideries, which should be repeat
ed on the small bodice that is Just
seen to exist above the deep belt that
is laid beneath the bust.
Painted satin is used as empire even
ing gown ornamentation, too; and
trails of artificial flowers are in keep

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES dresses are
prominent feature of the sea-
sons fashion. AS a rule, the em-
broideries are really executed on q
foundation of net, but it may be so
fine as to be hardly perceptible when
worn, the satin appearing to be em-
broidered upon direct.
A favorite method OF making up
these beautiful works of the needle
Is to have a satin dress covered with
just one layer of tulle, plain net, or
chiffon of the same color as the satin,
and on that place the net heavy with
its embroideries; a little needful sup
port is thus given to the fragile em-
broidered fabric, and yet the satin
is sufficiently in evidence also.
A charming new notion is to have q
lining of network OF gold, or some
of the gold tissues that are to be had

ton, and then covered with a drapery

FOUR NEW SUB-STATI0NS.
Where Money orders May BE Rough
and Letters Registered.

The growth and Importance of Savan-
nah has been recognized by the Postal
Department in various ways within the
past two years, and every effort made
by Postmaster Joseph 7. Doyle to i'm
prove the service in Savannah has been
promptly and heartily seconded by the
department al Washington.
The latest addition TO the facilities
for the accommo dotion of the people of
Savannah is four new sub-stations. where
stamps and domestic money orders may
be obtained and letters registered. The
new stations will be installed July l, next
Monday, and are as follows: No. 2, at
the drug store of Messrs. Reid q Co,
Jones and Abercorn streets; No 4, drug
store of w. A. Pigman. West Broad and
Sims streets; No. 5, drug store OF w. NJ.
Cleveland, Bull and Thirty-ninth streets;
No g. drug store of w. A Beshop, at
Hall and Habersham streets.
These, with the present sub-stations,
No l. at drug store of st. j. r. Younge
Duffy and Whitaker streets, and No 3,
at drug store of r. A. Rowlinski, at
Drayton and Broughton streets, should
pretty thoroughly accommodate both the
business and residential portions of the
city.
The STEADY ana RAPID increase In
the postal business at Savannah has
warranted an increase in the clerical
force. in the carriers force to %, the es-
Establishment of the new sub-stations; the
system of home registration of mail by

ties as it will be at the beginning of the

1t is quite noticeable that the registra-
ton from the Third District is, in pro-
portion to population and the usual reg
istration, very much heavier than that
from any other. The Third is the district
in which what is known in Savannah as
the conservative vote has its greatest
strength, the district being bounded by
AbercoTn street on the east and Bar
nard street on the west. This is taken
to indicate that the conservative voters
are TO manifest in the future decidedly
greater interest in politics than they
have in the past, unless between now and

of the Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of

record breaker with the corporation and
nearly 5000 fares were collected. These
figures mean that the company scooped
in s1,75O on that day and broke all records
for heavy hauling. Every car was in SER
vice and still there were not enough to
accommodate those who desired to ride
Mr.. McIntire says that the regular
schedule was run and that during the en-
tire day there was not a single break in
the service. He states that il is true
enough that persons were forced to stand
on corners and watch car after car pass
without being able to obtain a seat, but
he says that all of the lines ran on
schedule time. The heaviest travel was
during the afternoon and most of that
time the general manager spent at the
power house on Gwinnett and OFT streets.
Every engine was in service aud there
was not a break down during the day,
although the strain on the machinery was
rather severe.

eral Manager McIntire ordered nine large

that they would have arrived early Sun
