PLAIN AND POWERED.

Plain fabrics are united with Powered
ones. A charming figured batiste was
combined with plain material. the lat
ter untitled in the making of plait-
ed yoke and flounce decorations. Batiste
edged with lace draped the shoulders
in the graceful fichu fashion so much
in vogue on light gowns. The drapery
about the shoulders fell over the up
per part of the arm, where the sleeves
were plated.
Fashionable afternoon -frock of fou-
lard silks are invariably trimmed with
lace. They are more simply made
than ever, but are none the less ele-
CANT. Shaped founces brought over
the shoulders to the waist neatly set
off the bodice of a foulard silk. 1t is
the method followed by a pretty wo-
man of slender figure who has just or
dered a frock of cream and delft blue
silk. The sleeves, held in on the fore
arm by narrow plaits, have the usual
puff at the wrist, with a pointed ar
rangement of lace cross bands on the
upper arm. The frills are edged with
lace, and an insertion is laid in a deep
V on the front of the bodice. The
skirt, with its shaped f1ounce is also
trimmed with ecrue lace insertions. A
smaller flounce experimenting the fare
on the large one was headed by a rar-
row lace band. With the gown a lace
sash was used. The ash is very pop
ular, and one of lace is considered
especially fetching. Soft lace is prefer
able to stiff guipure. Pompadour rib
bon sashes are extremely fashionable
in bright colors; they lend a touch of
brightness to even the dullest costume.

Cure Worse Than the Ailment.

The wife of a certain rich citizen of
Philadelphia, relates the Record of that
city, was some years ago too stout, and
she has now perfect figure, but in i'm
proving her appearance in this manner
she brought on herself great suffering.
To reduce her weight she took Turkish
baths, first one week, then two a week,
and so on up the scale until finally she
was taking two a day. The treatment
acted well upon her; it gave her precise
" the sort of figure she desired but il
also gave her hives, and from these hives
her sufferings are intolerable. They are
intermittent, and when they oyertake
her--it may be on the street, it may be
at dinner, she falls into what resembles
an epileptic fit, and it is necessary to
drug her into state of coma on account
of the agony of itching that she under
goes. For over year now she has been
in a physicians care, but still far from
being cured. The physician says the
Turkish baths thinned her blood too
rapidly. and goes about cautioning all
his corpulent women patients not to
take such baths i'll excess.

HIS CHINESE BRIDE.

the Ordeal,

Five hundred and sixty dollars is the
latest market price quoted in Chicago
for Chinese brides. At least that is the
price paid recently for Celestial maiden.
who for many years has been servant
to the wife of Hip Lung, 1913 Clark
street.
The man who paid the money is Wo
Chong of Cleveland. o. He is Is years
old and the bride is II. They had never
seen each other until the train bearing
the child wife arrived in Cleveland.
The bride was in charge of a white
woman, into whose care she had been
given by Hip Lung. This woman is the
wife of ii Chinese cigar manufacturer.
He is a cousin of Wo ChOng. All Jake.
a merchant, engineered the deal and re-
ceived $50 for bringing about the mar
riage. The bride is dainty anu pretty
he said, and well worth $1,000 of any
Chinaman's money.
This is how the marriage was brought
about. according to the story told De
tective O'Connor by All Jake:
All Jake went to Cleveland six months
ago to bury a cousin who was killed
While there he was the guest of Wo
Chong. The latter keeps a Chinese mer-
chandise store in addition to a gambling
house, lottery game and three or four
chop sooey restaurants. Wo Chong told
All Jake he wanted to marry Chinese
Hip Lungs slave said he thought she
could be purchased.
Two months ago Wo Chong came 10
Chicago and paid All Jake $50 to hurry
along the marriage. All Jake is good
friend of Wo Chong. and he did not
want him to marry Hip Lungs servant
until he was satisfied she was pretty and
would make good wife. The day Sam
NIoy was buried All Jake saw the girl
for the first time. lie wrote to Wo
Chong that she was beauty.
A few weeks later WO Chong sent
All Jake a check on Cleveland bank for
$500. 1t was cashed by a Chinese mer-
chant. Hip Lug was gwen the money
by All Jake and he told the girl she had
been sold.
The couple were married early one
morning according to Chinese custom.
Mrs. Lee combed the brides hair and
asked her if she was willing to marry
WO Chong. At the same hour in Cleve-
land Wo Chong was undergoing the same
ordeal.
The bride was brought to this country

Hip Lung. She is only feet 6 inches

The FIRE loss in the United States and
Canada continues to keep within limits
which are reassuring compared with the
scale upon which it began the year and
compared with the record for CORE
spending months in 1901 and 1900. The
figure for last month was Shops, 900.
For July, 1901, it was $15,740,000, and
for July, 1900, $4,000, 100. For the
completed seven months of 1902 the
aggregate was $97 ,133, $40, while for the
corresponding period of 1901 it was
Sud, GGG. $50, and for the first seven
months of 1900 $11G,9JS,00O. 1t is
suggested that the climatic conditions of
July, 1902, combining cool weather and
frequent rains, may have contributed to
the happy result. Whatever the reason,
the reduced fire loss is a subject for
congratulation by insurance corpora
lions and the general public, for every
dollars worth of property destroyed by
ere constitutes an absolute loss-a de-
duction of the equivalent of one hundred
cents from the wealth of the nation.
