Paris. Sept L-(Spccial correspondence) @-Thouville demands dress toilets during the grand Quinzaine' of the racing sea- son.
 These light ethereal and fiuffy dresses have usually special character of their own. They have more 'laisser aller' about them than those which are admired on Parisian race courses.
 Dresses of embroidery, lace and lawn. require some detail winch gives them 50 to speak seaside style; leather belt q simple sunshade, or one made of Nor mandy madras; a hat made of embroide- ry, or an enormous "Charlottef of mus lin on the head put the stamp on the general effect. But, generally speaking, the triumph of lace and embroidery dresses this year is unprecedented
 At the Seaside.
 In the morning, on the beach or the golf links, dresses are delightfully."- plain Swede-colored linen dresses, ornament ed with blue or white bands, a large navy collar, and a skirt of moderate length. with a shaped fiouhce to give the fulness, are the height of style, and the supreme not is white.
 Chemisettes are finely embroidered, and made in narrow shut pIeats, with cam bric skirts having embroidered fiounces,, or shirts of white serge, guimpe c1emis- cites and boating hat, with brim of ex- aggerated width. are the height of style.
 With these toilets the bright wristbands of last year are not worn. All the light materials used for these dresses are, above all, extremely supple. This Is the quality indispensable to the fashion of to-day. It may be even said that in the contest going on between the tailor made costume and the dress-maker costume the later has been the winner this season. This is so absolutely a fact that there are few Paris firms that make exclusive ly tailor-made costumes Most of them attempt the dress" and succeed in creating models devoid of the stiffness and hardness of the tailor-made costume of former years Parisian Influence has in this matter prevailed over English inc nuence and turned out tailOr~made7 eos-

 Fashion has departed from Paris like all her distinguished guests, and has taken up her quarters by the seaside, among the mountains and at the country seats-eyerywhcre, in fact, where she l. honored and petted. Does this, however, mean that fashion is incompatible vith joyous and unconventional moods?

 The grand charity fete recently givei. at the Trianon has brought back in favo the "gouters" of the eighteenth century, and there are estates on which this gal lant' custom is imperative.

BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
MankatO People Receiving the Full

There have been many cases like the
following in Mankato. Everyone re-
lates the experience of people we
know. These plain, straightforward
statements will do much toward reliev-
ing the suffering of thousands. Such
testimony will be read with interest by
many people.

LOCAL DAIRY SCHOOLS.
Corps of Experts For This Years
Institutes.

st. Paul, Dec 2.-The state farmers
institute this year, in cooperation
with the dairy and food department,
will have a second corps of four
workers on dairy subjects alone, which
will hold daily institute sessions near
the creamery centers. The work will
have the assistance of the state school
of agriculture, and will in effect be
the field work of the school.
. A. W. Trow, who will be in charge,
is one of the Oldest creamery managers
in the state. He will treat of the pro-
per management of creameries A re-
preventative of the dairy and food de-
partment will discuss the proper
method of running Gre ameries and of
the care of milk by patrons, from the
standpoint of the creamery inspector.
There will also be specialist on the
work of the buttermakers, and re-
preventative of the patrons of the
creamery.
II expect much good from these
short dairy sessions, said Supt. O..
G. Gregg of the farmers institute
work every man will be an expert,
and the discussion will cover almost
everything incidental to a successful
up-to-date creamery. There may also
be some instruction in the home
manufacture Of cheese.
''The work will be almost entirely
in places that now have creameries
and surrounding territory. 1 believe
there is now more danger in organic
ing creameries where conditions are
unfavorable than in not having sufi-
cient agitation.
II should have liked to include
cheese manufacture in the institute,
but the number of factories in Mime
sofa does not warrant it this year. 1t
will probably be added later. I believe
cheese factories should be stimulated,
and that it is only question of time
until Minnesota will make as good a
record in cheese production as in but
ter. Minnesota dairying, think, will
never reach its highest point until we
have a combination of winter butter
and summer cheese.
"The regular two-day session insti-
tutes will be- held by separate corps.
These cover the entire range of agri-
cultural subjects, including dairying
We hold as many institutes week as
possible without encroaching unrea-
sonably on the rest of the workers.
Minnesota this year will have some of
the best institute workers in the
United States

UP AGAINST 1T.
North Mankato. Must Pay Up
$3.50.
Miss Yungberg wins Her Damage
Suit Against the Village in the
Court at St. Peter.

The jury in the case of Anna M.
Yungberg VS.. the village of North
Mankato, to recover So, 900 for injuries
received from an accident on an alleged
defective sidewalk, tried in the district
court at st. Peter. retired at six
O. clock Saturday evening and returned
this morning with sealed verdict
giving the plaintiff 81, The village
secured stay of thirty days and may
make an appeal.
Miss Yungberg claimed that the
small bones of her ankle were broken
and her ankle sprained by reason of
tripping over loose board, and that
she had been confined in hospital for
a long time.
Rev. Andrew Nelson and his son,
Chester, were passing Miss .Yungberg
on the walk at the time of the alleged
accident, and were witnesses for the
village. They said that she did not
trip over loose board, but that her
ankle turned. They were looking at
her at the time, for she was passing
between them and it was two O'Clock
in the afternoon.
One of the villages witnesses testi-
fed that Miss Yungberg had said that
she had hurt her ankle by turning it
on the bridge a few days before,
and that it was not yet well
when she turned it again. Miss
Youngberg denied having made such a
statement.
The walk was one that has been laid
in permanent manner some eighteen
inches above the ground, and section
eight feet long had been sawed off, to
be taken up when teams hauling stone
wanted to cross the walk. The village
had witnesses to show that the de-
tached section fitted in perfectly and
rested on stones and was not loose or
shaky.
The Judgment against the village, if
it holds, will materially increase the
tax rate.
This verdict should be lesson to
the officials of this city to abolish
wooden walks as rapidly as possible
and have cement or stone substituted.
