matching in color the goods, adds
much elegance to this new skirt, es-
pecially when the material chosen hap
pens to be crepe de chine or the all
conquering nuns yelling Satin
faced foulard promises to be among
the favorite materials for smart aft
ernoon frocks. The fancy of the mo-
ment is to trim these slllen gowns
with one or more plated
ruffies, made of black point de esprit
net over one of white taffeta silk. An
other fad, and a very pretty one, too,
is to have a little cloth bolero
matching the prevailing color in
the silk. For instance, a laven-
der and white foulard was fin
ished with a smart-looking bolero
fashioned of lavender cloth and
trimmed with narrow silver and white
braid and tiny silver buttons. An
othergown in which this idea was very
prettily carried out was in a lovely
shade of rose pink lightly patterned in
black and white. The chic bodice was
rendered doubly so by means of a
iaunty white cloth bolero, cut very
short in the back to show a folded
girdle Of turquoise blue panne velvet.
/ know the intermingling of rose pink
and turquoise blue sounds rather dar-
ing, but in this particular instance the
combination was introduced by the
artistic fingers of a master hand, with
results that were simply stunning.
The extreme daintiness of the new
cotton fabrics cannot but appeal in
the strongest manner to the love of
the beautiful innate in womankind.
Cool-looking dimities and French
lawns are to be reckoned among the
most attractive materials now on ex-
hibition, while the silk ginghams and
embroidered cotton batistes are love
" enough to tempt the unwary into
rank extravaganza. They come in
white, pale blue. light green and all
the pretty new shades of pink. Some
of the silk ginghams have a double
border of silk woven on the edge,
which is meant to be used as a trim
ming in connection with much lace and
yards upon yards of the ever-popular
Persian ribbon. Many of the new
mercerized ducks and cheviots. cotton
though they be, are exceedingly beau
tiful, and so closely resemble the most
lustrous silk as to make them quite
admirably suited for any but the most
dressy wear. Within the week ! have
seen some very swell-looldng tailor
gowns fashioned of both these mate
rails, those of cheviot being particu
larly fetching. All were as carefully
tailored, even down to the smallest
detail, as though made Of the finest
broadcloth. Some showed to particu-
lar advantage with their short Elton
coafs tucked both back and front,

collars of embroidered lawn. These
collars are worn low on the shoulder
and give rather a sloping effect, with
an inner vest of tucked lawn and lace
to correspond. The popularity of the
lace blouse seems rather to wax than
wane, and just now it is the proper
caper to have it made of handsome
Maltese lace. / am bound to tell you,
however, that this lace used in the
making of the approved blouse, in

FANCIES OF FASHION.
They Are of the Daintiest and Most
Delightful Nature.
New skirt Is Graceful in Its Lines
and Universally Becoming
DIouses Trimmed ia Laces
and Embroidery.
Ispeelal Chicago Letter.I


a S FAR as it is possible to judge
IN at the present moment, there
seems to be every reason to be-
lieye that the fashions of the imme-
date future will be of the daintiest
and most delightful description. The
weather this spring has been so cold
and generally disagreeable that really
smart clothes have been in very little
demand, in consequence whereof
modistes have had a much longer pc
Rod of rest than is usually the case,
and they seem to have employed their
leisure 10 the greatest possible advan-
tage in the designing of charming
gowns suitable for both early and mid
summer wear, which are far prettier
and more generally becoming than
anything which has been seen for many
seasons. To be sure, some of the main
features that marked the spring styles
are carried ont in the summer modes,
but all are changed and improved upon
to such a degree as to be hardly recog-
nizable.
The new skirt continues to fit with
glove-like snugness about the hips, and
with the same wonderful amount of
flare at the bottom as heretofore The
iaunty little bolero is to be seen on
every other gown as of yore, while
the old, yet ever new, blouse-bodice
still reigns supreme; but. somehow,
by bold contrast of color, an extra
sash to the rever of the bolero or a
deft twist TO the pouched bodice, the
clever modiste has managed to give an
air of extreme novelty to these sum
mer gowns that is both pleasing and
fascinating.
Every device and trick known to
the trade is employed to produce the
graceful fullness at the bottom of the
approved skirt, and according to the
decree of Dame Fashion it must show
either tucks, plaitings or one or more
graceful founces as its most dis
tinctive feature. A taffeta foundation,

leads the world. It's revenues for the
current year will reach a total OF
$150,000, 900; and its savings bank de-
posits amount to over $3.50, 600. q
per capita average of $3.50 for each
and every white inhabitant. In adj
dition to all this, the commonwealth
owns miles of railways.
The consciousness of being citizens
of the most affiuent country in the
world is calculated to arouse the
highest form of patriotism among
people who are accustomed to labor
and who are not yet familiar with
the vices which undermine older COM
munities. Yet the Australians are in
tensely loyal to Great Britain, and
unless the London government com
mits most grievous blunders England
can forever depend on Australia in
times Of need for both money and
men. Parent governments are not al
ways sensible, however; and to pro-
vide against any unwelcome en-
croachments upon their rights the

VANCE more the day OF memories sweet has come,
" When with bowed heads and solemn muffled drum
= We gather at the bvouac OF our braves
TO lay floral tributes their graves
Embens OF grateful memories that are theirs,
On grassy affairs, mid hower-scented airs,
We offer floral incense, praise and prayers.
No more the bugles to dread battles CALL
No more for them the smoky battle pail,
No more the WEAKNESS and bloody strife
Which marked the warriors stern eventful life,
But rest mid sweet-faced flowers meath emerald sod
Ger which so oft our pilgrim feet have trod-
Our thanks ascending unto them and God
Time with its gentle ministries has healed
Those old-time hates to of vengeance Steeled;
The old-tme sorrows have given way to pride
That such glorious death heroes died;
And while we better love the cause to-day
FOR which much to such as they
We give kind thoughts to those who sleep in gray.
Yet every year these graves stand forth anew
AS witnesses our cause was noblv true,
That heroes such as these and heroes graves
Protest against disunon, human slaves
The endless sweep of beresies and i'll
Which called for and human blood until
The hosts had died which these green graves fill
Cover them gently, with each blossomed wreath
Go thoughts as fragrant to bows beneath
Who taught all men with LOYAL deeds and true
For such countrys to dare and do
Ascending with fower-odorS from this ground
Let faith look up and gratitude abound
Until the Resurrections reveile shall sound

Disastrous storm with Twelve
Lives--Tvvo Rescued.

Chicago, May 27-In a storm that
dashed the waters of the upper lakes
the steamer Baltimore was sent to
the bottom OF Lake Huron, near Au
Sable. Mich, Friday morning, and of
her crew of II men only two escaped.
Lashed to heavy raft, the two men
were adrift on the lake under heavy
seas all day Friday, and one of them
was crazy when rescued.
The following lost their lives
with the wreck of the Baltimore:
Capt. NJ II. Place, master OF the steamer.

tain; stewardess; Michael Breatden. first
mate; John Delders, second steward: Ed

cued, We're picked up by the tug CO.

feted by the waves for - hours.
The full extent of death and disas-
ter by the storm is not known yet.
From Chicago to Ogdensburg, n. Y,
the storm held sway and score Of
vessels were sunk, wrecked, or suf-
fered serious damage. The reports
received from ports on the lakes told
only of disasters in their immediate
vicinity, and it is feared that other
wrecks with fatalities occurred at
isolated places along the shores.
Anxiety is felt for vessels in mid
lake, which could find no shelter
from the gales fury.
At all ports on the lakes many YES
sells put in for shelter. Many that had
started out met the gale and turned
back. The storm was declared by ma.
rine men one of the worst in 10 years

SA cents and not enough demand to absorb it all and carry prices into new ground. There is a growing feeling in many circles that the short covering has eliminated so great portion of the short interest that break Is not unlikely. In many ways the market changed its character more frequently today than yesterday. The market was nervous cratic and easily influenced. In certain ways new short interest Is now being created at these figures. If the market breaks moderately, new buying comes in and these shorts start buying anew a new high level may be reached. The great trouble at the moment is fear of a large movement as compared with last year at this time. The insight figures this week leaves the total 10000 bales behind last year, but for the rest of the month receipts last year were very small There may be an unsettled mar ket for the present. Those who have good profits are in a position to sell some of their cotton and tighten the load We would rather buy cotton on an active market about 8.30 for May than at the moment While we do not change our belief in higher prices later in the year. there can easily be a set back from the 8A cents before the holidays We point out the possibility of such a set back so that those who desire to take profits at prevailing prices can understand the feel ing in many circles. We would rather see a decline or further advance before buying again.

Important signs of strength were found in the Anthracite coalers par ticularly D. l.. w. which recorded a max mum gain of per cent In the after noon a much better sentiment was de- veloped. The improvement was due partly to a feeling of relief at the suc- cess of measures taken yesterday to avert threatened mercantile failure The absence of further purchases of gold for Europe and the lower range for call mon ey at the stock exchange also contribut- ed to induce covering of shorts and some buying for the long account. Lon- don houses took a moderate amount but there was comparatively little commits sion house buying.
 The general list, however, enjoyed an advance of 1 to ? per cent with decided support evident in Union Pacific and St. Paul. A singular exception, how ever, was Rock Island which lost 1H per cent. Amalgamate copper was the note- worthy feature of the industrial list.
 It appeared to be well supported on the theory that the fall in the price had dis counted many of the unfavorable feat ures in connection with the copper situa- tion. A morning break of per cent was followed by recovery of 2A. The announcement of a reduction in prices of the commodity wiped out the gain fin the afternoon and the close was 1x be- low last nights General market closed strong.
