and hats all show it, and in many
charming effects.
The material is being shown in fancy
effects, embossed and printed de coupe,
and the plain and corded velvets. In
fact, the range is larger than in any
other season of which remember. 1t
will be in demand for street wear, for
tailor-made gowns, for blouses and
trimming silk or cloth gowns. In col
ors the browns and blues will be most
popular, with a few shades of green
and touch of red or white.
Here is velvet trimmed afternoon
gown for street wear that will illus
trate how the material is being used
for such purposes. The gown is COM
posed of blue broadcloth, white silk
and blue velvet. The skirt is demi-
princess, with the blue velvet fitting
the figure perfectly over the hips in
deep points, forming pointed girdle
effect above the waist line. The skirt
of blue broadcloth hangs gracefully
with novel trimming below the knees
of cloth stitched withiwhite silk in
scallops. Below each scallop the white
silk is put on with ribbon effect, form
ing an odd design. A tucked vest of
white silk, with bolero of cloth. The
standing collar and yoke are of en-
bossed blue velvet. The sleeves have a
putting of soft silk at the elbow, and
another falling over the hand, covered
with white silk trimming.
An afternoon blouse, designed to be
worn with cloth or velvet skirt, also
illustrates method of utilizing vel
vet as trimming. Of this the chemi-
settle is of tucked silk of shrimp pink,
with deep collar and revers of cram
guipure lace. Below this, forming a
square bolero, is the shrimp pink silk
closely tucked, with deep apple green
velvet giEdle below. This is laced down
the front with "a silken cord. The
sleeves are of the,silk, with three rows

bowers and flowers, and things, were
so entertaining that we other two

Evening gowns for young married

The very latest corset is compro-

er necessity, of patience as she waits
day after day, hours at a time, for an
interview with the manager, only to
learn there are so many before her
| as to make it quite useless to leave her
name and address, and the best way
is to wait day after day in the musty
little anteroom, on the slim chance of
an unexpected vacancy, which she may
obtain simply by being there to accept
it. The girl being at the beginning of
her career very brave, and in the first
flush of her ambition, usually decides
to wait, and climbs regularly up the
! dingy stairs for a month or so after,
then her visits begin TO be further and

drawn up about him, occupied by
club mates, eager to hear him talk,
for his conversational powers are
wonderful, and he is remarkably en-
tertaining.
Frequently he tells stories which
are embellishments of incidents that
occurred in his newspaper days, down
south. Once he told this story: :.

there. He was the picture Of wrath

hip that was so big it sagged him
down on that side.

I told him that I did.

We did. I reciprocated, and he re-

through many rounds and far up the
street. Meantime he had impaired
to me, as friend, the business that
had brought him there, and I had
agreed to show him the way to the
Gazette Office, and, in fact, to accom-
pany HIM. when we reached the edi-
torial rooms no one else was present,

porch, when he was really trying to
kill a stray cat-but that is another
story.
Years ago, when Nye was running
the Boomerang in Laramie, went over
from Cheyenne one day to pay him a
visit. He was at work in his editorial
rooms, which were second floor front,
over a livery stable, fact that caused
him to live in mortal dread of hay
fever.

"What shall write about?"

The paper was soon on the press. and
we started. A few steps from the
door we met a man who stopped Nye
to tell him something about a citizen
who had been thrashing the wife of

and as we walked along he said, in

The summer vogue for white lace for
evening wear will continue well into
the fall, and many of the handsome
toilettes that have been prepared for
country house parties are made up
with this. To get the best effects such
lace should be supported on white
chiffon. 1t is worth remembering tina It
one layer of chiffon does not show at
all under lace, except by giving an in
definable transparency and lightness,
and throwing up the pattern of the
lace; the sleeve or berthe of lace that
has just one layer of chiffon under it
seems to be really unlined, SO that in
putting lace over satin or silk this lit
tie precaution should always be OBJ
fon form visible foundation in them
selves and give Lace a lovely effect.
The use of colored flowers is not con-
sidered out of place with black and
white gowns this season, and in that
way the color that has fed from fash
ionab.e frocks themselves as rule can
be supplied. When the hair is dressed
low, complete wreath OF small How
ers is often worn over the top of the
head; Banksia roses are specially pop
u'ar for this use; or a green garland
of rose or ivy leaves with few bright
blossoms introduced.
And here are a number of little
points of fashion, some of which may
be properly classed as remnants of the
summer season, now practically over
and others of which are just in the full
of popularity.
Of the latter class there are the long
loose coats that are being worn fol
driving at the present time, when driv.
ing. forms one of the forms /of enter:
tainment at the country houses. Many
of these coats, which are made more
as a protection for dainty driving
gowns than because of a need fol
warmth, are of white linen of the silky
quality.
They are made simply with piping
of colored linen or more elegantly fin
ished with deep collar of lace ove1
which narrow collar of black velvet
turns down about the neck. The
sleeves are full bishops with wrist
