Gowns

One Of the most attractive costumes
shown me this season was dress made
of cafe al lait yelling over crimson
silk. The underdress was not expected
to show only when the wearer wished
to lift the outer skirt to save it from
contact with the vulgar earth. Around
the bottom there was a founce about
ten inches wide, and this was headed
by a row of luxeuil lace In string col
or. This over the cafe au lait made a
very effective contrast. The waist was
drawn to point in front and rounded
In the back, and there were several
narrow folds at the bottom In place of
a belt of any description. The lace was
arranged to resemble a pointed yoke
both front and back, a pleasant change
from the eternal bOlero and figaro.
This dress was one of the latest impor-
tatiOns from Paris, and therefore the
skirt was long in the back and shorter
In front than has been considered neces-
sary for fine dresses. 1t was not dress
to wear in the street, but for carriage
and porch and garden party require
ments. Yelling and the whole long list
OF transparent wooden and silk and
wool as well as thin silks are more
fashionable than ever before. The
woman may call herself happy who has
one of each kind.
Partisan dressmakers say that skirts
are to be longer than ever and quite as
narrow around the hips, but wider IL
possible around the bottom-that Is to
say, the fiounce at the bottom will be
made fuller and more fluffy. The light
tans and all the leather tints are in
high favor just now, and indeed moth
Ing Is better, for any color of under
dress can be used, and when there are
two or three slips of different colors
the variety of effects can be greater.
Many OF the soft yelling gowns have
the Innings made so that they are In
Interchangeable.
White for pretty summer toilets is
still the favorite and black stands next.
Black grenadines and lace dresses are
among the most elegant of all the sea-
sons output. A black lace or fine veil
Ing or grenadine gown can be worn
anywhere for any occasion.
i notice quite a movement to bring
about draped skirt, and several new
ones show the shlrred place over the
hips. which throws the fullness out in
a very new way and a pleasing one.
Many ladies do not care to have the
skirt fit so closely over the hips, and
anything which tends to obviate this
difficulty will be welcome. The idea is
to have the upper part of the skirt
made considerably wider at the top,
and the superhuous fullness Is then
gathered to the figure In shlrs. This
is much prettler than the old style.
A novelty is rare in these days, for it
seems as If everything had been ex-

plotted. but It appears that bias folds
of such stuff as etamine and grenadine
laid one above the other over half the
dress are new, at least this year. Skirts
are cut with decided fare, and all the
lower part covered with the folds laid
double. none over an inch wide. 1t is not
easy to get these folds to stay Just as
they are put, and only an expert can do
It. but the effect when done Is beau
tiful 1t takes a great quantity of goods
to make these skirts, and for that rea-
son they will never become common.
In letter from a friend in Paris
find that at the great races, where all
the new and elegant dresses are worn
and the fashions for the season are to
a certain extent set, lace gowns have
the first place. A few of them are
made over silk of a contrasting color,
but the finest have the same shade and
color OF lining. Where there Is any at
tempt to obtain a princess effect 1t Is
done by means of narrow tucks run
into the waist line.
The corselet skirtG are not at all pop
ular there. but the blouse and fancy
shirt waist are. The blouse Is capable
Of so much ornamentation that 1t is no
wonder that 1t pleases the Parisiennes.
One odd feature of the summer is the
silk paletot. This is long. so as to COW
er the most Of the dress, and may be of
ehangeable silk in any light shade or
color, or 1t may be black. Some are
fairly covered with chiffon ruffles, and
they are ornamental in every way.
Hats are mostly the wide brimmed va
rieties. with many roses or black
plumes, like the Gainsboroughs. This
is so becoming a style that it is no
wonder 1t continues in favor for SO
many years.

HOW TO FIX THE VERANDA-
Make IL an Attractive Living Room
For the Hot Days.

For the Hot Days.
During the hot weather the veranda
is practically the living room of the
family. The feminine members of the
household use it for gossiping, sewing
and reading, and the men like to linger
there after the evening meal and enjoy
their cigars and papers. An attractive
veranda means an attractive summer
home, and its owner will be more than
repaid for the money and trouble ex-
pended upon it.
In the first place. see that your We
randa is cool. There should be a screen
of vines on the sunny side and bamboo
shades which can be drawn down on
very hot days. Striped awnings give
cheerful look, and they can be used
on those pOrches or piazzas which are
much exposed to the sun and not ade-
quately covered. If mosquitoes are
common in your vicinity, inclose the
veranda with fine wire netting. This
will make your summer evenings much
more comfortable. A house which I
recently visited had it's veranda entire
ly protected with this fine wire net
ting, and admittance was gained
through a screen door Of the same. The
Enclosure within was thus transformed
into a fly and insect proof out of door
room, where the family often took their
simpler meals and practically lived
half the time. The furnishings also

Miss Mamie StOckett Dead

Alter q lingering illness Miss Mamie
stocAett died at the re sIdence Of Mrs
Griggs, on Market street, at an early hour
Tuesday morning, Of tyr h Did fever.
Miss Stockstt came to Shreveport about
two years ago from Mississippi and was
appointed the official stenogsapher OF the
district court, . position she filled most
creditably. Indeed Miss Stockett was one
Il the best, thoroughly proficient stsnog
rapher. Her wsrk was always correct and
clear and she received frequently. as she
deserved, the generous enconiums, the
heartfelt expressions OF appreciation OF the
court and those connected with It IN .
legal capacity.
Miss Stockett was . womanly woman
modest, reserved. digolhsd, sweet tenn
perod, geutle and kind. 1t has been said
of her that she would rather surfer an in
justice than to seek an explanation or to
wound the feelings Of any one. To her
work she applied herself diligently and
assiduouslY; her ambition was to earn
money, not to supply her needs or fancies,
but to help heI mother and sisters. one Of
whom is an invalid, and as . worker her
earnings were greater than is within tho
reach OF men filling nrst rate positions.
Her life was not spent in vain. She was
lovable in character and in her unass m
ing. womAnly WAYS she won the admira-
ton and the esteem Of the judge, of the
ofncIals connected with the court and the
mem bers Of the bar, by whom her uuex
pected demise IL regretted.
The remains OF this young lady were
taken to her home ut Terry, Miss, for
intermsnt.
Her reward is glorifcation in Heaven,
her hons forever.

is a thrifty town and is bound to be
big distributing point for the rich
mining regions adjacent. He says that
all Ell Paso lacks to insure her success
is mining exchange and the town

Ell Paso again for a year or so. 1t is

will find a mining exchange here and
electric cars on which to ride over
the town.
