FASHION LETTER
Lady Modish in Town Topics.

A gown which attracted much atten.
tion on the avenue the other evening was
black and white check taffeta. 1t had
three shaped flounces to form the skirt,
each irregularly picked in long scallops
at the bottom. The waist had bolero
to match, with vest of finely pleated
white chiffon. An exquisite pearl-gray
feather boa completed the costume.
But foulards are more popular than
taffetas. The dark blues, with white
dots or figures and satin finish, are espe-
cially popular. In the making they are
adorned with profusion of lace, black
being appliqued on the lighter colors
and white on those OF the darker shades.
A gray, with white dots Of various sizes,
is ravishing, with a garniture Of black
entre-deux serpentined about the skirt,
waist and sleeves. The rage for fancy

tinues These are very effective both
with and without the coat, as the shirts
generally Of unlined silk worn with
them are works of art.
Mrs. Howard Gould wore an old rose
Elton suit lined with heavy white satin
at luncheon last Tuesday. 1t was
very rich and handsome. The sleeves
Of the coat were wide and ended little
below the elbow, showing the cuff and
lower sleeve of the pretty underwaist.
This was Of pink, very pale shade,
with thy old rose polka dots. 1t was
trimmed with triple yoke effect worked
out in beautiful white and black braid.
A large black hat with straw Tam
OShanter crown, chiffon brim and a
large black plume wound about it
was worn with the gown. Mrs. Gould
usually affects black hats. that set off to
advantage her dull gold hair, which she
wears in single loose coil low on her
neck. Ethel Barrymore is wearing an
odd black tailor m ade of some soft ma
terial. The skirt is plain. without trim
ming. and built to accentuate her slen-
derness. The coat, however, is evident
y made with the opposite intention.
1t resembles an Elton in length, but falls
loose between the shoulders, like the
back of a Raglan, while the front has
three pleats on each side, loose hanging
also, and is much longer than the back.
She wears it open, and with a wide,
coarse linen collar. This collar is very
artistic. 1t is edged all around with
he old fashioned narrow silk fringe
'een on some of the Captain Jinks'
gowns. and is covered at intervals with
black chenille rings not quite so large as
| dime.
The hat, which went we'll with this
uit, was of the fiat variety, black, and
Irtistically trimmed with medium sized
,ale pink roses and foliage of deep green.
The roses were so arranged as to peep

was lined with heavy white satin, and
bore the stamp OF an excellent Paris

crepe scarf and buckle. and absolutely
swathed in wells. One was OF brown

top. in which the pears are stuck rather

tout ensemble decidedly effective.
The parasols are again with US. They
are about the same size and shape AZ
those OF last year, but nothing but the
club handle will do. All the coaching
parasols show this in exaggerated form.
and are decidedly smart. One seen in

with delicate green. This NAV not be

OF rose or pink or of red, but it has the
charm OF looking and actually being
supremely comfortable and cooler than
any other sort of sunshade. Many have
their parasols made to match their
gowns. For example, a woman in a
dark blue satin foulard with white dots
carries parasel OF the same material
with natural wood club handle and a
border Of smaller dots. This is trouble
some fad, but the result achieved is very
effective. Chiffon parasols are still to
be used, but are not shown in very
large variety OF styles. The summer
girl in shirt waist will carry the plain
silh or linen parasol, untrimmed save
Tor short bow tied about the stocky
handle. Green and red. especially the
former. are the most fashionable colors.

Burning Money.

No business man would sleep quietly
without insurance on his building and
his stock. Yet the chances are that fire
will never injure cents worth of his
property. He pays his fire insurance
premiums gladly, well knowing that his
money burns" if his building doesn't.
But every man must die. Each hour,
each minute there are new widows, new
orphans, new sorrows from involved
estates. The wonder is that any sane
man will let an instant pass without
putting every possible safeguard around
his family. Money in good insurance
company is better as an investm emit than
in bank. 1t brings protection that no
other money affords. The Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York, for
instance has returned more than $780,
900 900 five hundred and forty million
dollars) to its policy-holders Other
companies have returned lrss amounts,
but still large. Can anyone realize how
many hearts have been made glad, how
many families have been held together,
how much black despair has been
avoided by the distribution of these inn
mense sums?

The test was in every way satisfactory,
the machine at times running at the

possibility Of making fifty miles. The
engine is of sixteen horse power and the
whole machine weighs 1900 pounds.

Christian EndeaVOr Convention.
The Goth annual session of the Chris
tian Endeavor Society has been in ses-
sion in Cincinnati, Ohio.
While the attendance has been large
it has not equalled that of previous great
conventions.
The second decade of the society be
gins with 6,247 cieties having com
inc membership of about 100000
TIE net increase in societies during the
past year was over / 900, and in mem
bers about 100000
The officers elected were: F. E.
Clark, Boston. Mass, president; Will
liam Shaw, Boston, Mass. treasurer;
John W. Baer, ston, Mass, general
secretary F. H. Kidder, Boston, Mass
auditor: the Rev. Clarence E. Eborman
of Lancaster, Va, State president # New
Jersey. the Rev. A. w. Spooner, Cam
den.
1t is claimed by some of the Christian
Endeavor leaders that the annual mass
meeting is losing its force. The lack OF
interest, it is said, lies in the fact that
the mass convention is not an Executive
body and cannot settle anything. II
lacks the element of politics so notice
able in other religious meetings.
The meetings in the future will be
held bieunially. The next one, 1908 will
probably be held in ST. Louis, although
requests for it have come from India and
Australia.
