The popularity Of white dresses this
season has made the white glace petit
coat an exceedingly important item Of
feminine attire, says the London
Graphic. On many there is an embroi-
derry in black silk. One with the
founce SO treated, in slender single
blossom design, had the edge in seal
lops formed OF applique black velvet
pansies, with touch of white in the
heart OF each. This was very pretty
more SO than similar garment with
the flounce composed of alternate oia-
mOnds in black and white tucked silk,
and bordered with black lace. A white
silk underskirt, finished with narrow
frills, each edged with narrow black
valenciennes lace, is good; and an
other with silk flounce yelled in an
equally deep flounce OF black Cnantilly
lace is even more. pleasing. But, at
tractive as these dainty petticoats I'M
doubtedly are, for good, serviceable
wear they are far behind the skirts
made of gray glace silk, which do not
soil so readily, and appear impervious
to the damaging effect of dust.

CALIFORNIA; Promising Future.

THE attention of the east is being
attracted to California in marked de-
gree" said a man from tho Pacific
coast the other day. 1.-THE great field
for the eastern investor will henceforth
be found in the northern part of the
state. The development OF gold and
copper mines in Shasta county, and
particularly the discover Of oil in the
northern counties is assuming such
proportion that they cannot longer be
hidden from the investment seeker,
and eastern capital will, rot fail to DIS
cover the great possibilities The oil
industry of California will reach this
year an output of over 10000 900 bar
rels. The Santa Fe and Southern Pa
cific railroads are burning oil on their
locomotives; the sugar reflneries
street railway power houses and manu-
.acturing industries are substituting
t for coal. Four months ago the
home consumption for fuel only
amounted to over 100000 barrels a
month. Coal in California costs from
3 to sla ton. 1t Is imported from

Fashions in Tailor Mades.

Gray and white is admittedly one of
the most attractive cloth admixtures
of the hour. And yet another growing
freak Of the tailor world is the sup
preston of revers and even collars to
the short coats and boleros, deletion
that AFFORDS a greater display of the
undervest or blouse and so falls in
happily with the summer scheme of
things. Not to every figure, however,

1t may interest American women to
know how their sisters beyond the

The day of the fair Filipino Is
long one. With her there is no lazy
rising to a 9 o'clock coffee and toast.
She is usually up with the sun, not
later than 6, and, if very religious, as
early as 4, that she may attend early
mass. Breakfast is set early, about
6 O'Clock. Then come the morning
duties of the household, sewing. wash
ing, cooking, or whatever there may be,
for our young lady is not expected to
spend her days in idleness. The mid
day meal is taken at II o'clock, in or.
der that the warmest hours of the Gay
may be the hours Of rest. About two
hours are thus spent in the enjoyment
of the siesta, when our lady fair arises,
refreshed and ready for the later
pleasures of the day.
At o'clock the afternoon tea" is
served. This is light repast, usually
consisting of chocolate. with rice and
cakes, or other simple yiands. Then,

bedtime often comes late, and no
hours more than nature demands are
spent in the enjoyment of slumber.
Going to rest, however, is different
there and here. Ladies, even Of the

White the Reignins Shade.

It is the fashion this summer to wear
white, and the smartest of all the
frocks are Of white mousseline de sole
or batiste. There are. however, any
number of dotted muslirs in white,
light gray, light yellow, or black that
are made up for evening use. The So
called robe gowns are also in great
demand, and are very useful, provided
one has a well-ftting low waist and
long skirt of silk over which the robe
gown can be placed. The summer

Natures Beautiher.


The summer time is the golden op-
portunity for the girl troubled with
pimples and comedones. The torrid
heat offers an efficacious substitute for
the Turkish or Russian bath. The
healthy streams of perspiratiOn with
which Dame Nature strives to eradi-
cate these facial blemishes should
never be damned by the opposing pow,
der rag. Rather encourage the very
friendly drop which adds its tiny share
in promoting the health and purity Of
the complexion. l am reminded here
of a young girl who has happily been
cured Of some very disfguring pimples
Of the chronic type which physicians
had prescribed for in vain. One intol-
erably hot day she tried to catch a nap
in the attic, where the temperature
equalled the hot room of the Turkish
baths.
A member of the family called for
her to come down to cooler quarters.
ooh, no, mamma she replied, this
is part of the cure. l am told that I
must perspire!" and she resolutely
turned a deaf ear to all expostulation.
When last seen that girl had COM
plexion without a blemish-Stella

Rubber Tires on Fire Ensinea.

A set OF rubber tires suitable for use
on fire engine cost from $3.50 to $3.50
There Is no question about the advan-
tages OF their use. With rubber tires
an engine goes less often to the repair
shop and so Is more continuously IN
commission. And X you should happen
to see rubber tired engine go around
corner or get into or out of the track.

vantage gained there was enough IN
pay for the tires. The engine DOESN'T
swing or slide. but 1t follows time
and the driver knows just where he
can go and what he can do with the
machine when he's under way.

building their nests, says: Like a

old stump or sill OF wood, some fallen
trunk or weatherworn wound in grow
Ing timber whereon she settles and
proceeds to bite OF bits OF wood and
chew them into paste. With this she
flies to the hole again, and with jaws
and head and feet, molds the thin
drawn paste into f1ne gray paper, silky,
strong and waterproof. Here is an
invention-"paper from wood pulp"
