advantage for this form of skirt.
Many muslin gowns have straight
flounces, which in washable materials
are preferable to shaped ones. Anoth-
er mode OF trimming skirts of thin
gowns is to add the tucks on, not in,
the skirt at the hem. This is usually
done with fagotting or feather stitch
ing and looks very pretty. Skirts &C
companied by bolero creton are still
stylish.
Those tricks of trimming so stylish
as to mark their gowns or garments
as quite up to date, and consequently
to be Of great use to economizers, are
many. Black lace is used now more
freely than formerly. Indeed, it seems
to be taking in some degree the place
OF white and ecru tints, which have
been fashionable so long. 1t looks es-
pecially pretty on white, batiste tints
and delicate colors, especially OH pas
tel shades. Skirts with double or triple
founces often are finished at the edge
with black serpentine lace. Black
trimmed with ecru lace is a striking
combination and is very freely used in
recent models. Stirring is being re-
yived, to judge from the number of
new gowns in which it appears. Very
narrow lace insertions and headings
are used in all manner of ways. Linen
passementerie in soft ecru shades is
very pretty on linen lawn dresses.

VOGUE OF SILK LACES.
Late Dress Hints Regarding Dress
Fabrics for the Autumn
and Winter.

Silk laces are handsome and look
we'll now on thin materials, although
it is said that they will be used later
on with the autumn and winter fab
RIGS. A gown of white mousseline de
sole has the skirt built in three parts
trimmed with a border of silk guipure.
There is a surplice effect on the bod
ice, finished by the lace, leaving a
slight decolletage. The sleeves are
shirred at the top, arranged in a puff
at the elbows and finished with a
big lace ruffle, says the New York
Tribune.
A pretty idea shown on batiste
gown consists of pattes finely plated
and held with lace medallions. Four
of these are used on the side of the
skirt, running from the waist line al
most to the bottom of the skirt. The
pattes hold small medallions, and end
each in a large lace medallion. These
plated pieces are so long on the skirt
that they might better perhaps be
termed narrow panels, but on the bod
ice they have more the appearance of

FOR FASHIONS FOLLOWERS.
Notes of the Modes for Those Wha
Make 1t a Point to Keep
Posted on Dress.

Belts are important accessories; the
newest are in satin, glace, kid and
leather. Gold galloon and fantastic
enamel belts are also worn, the best
being shaped to come high at the back
and in sharp point in the front.
This shape is immensely becoming to.
the majority of figures. Always be
careful in your choice of belt, for it
is an all-important item, says fash
ION authority.
Pretty new black and white silks are
either striped or checked, some i'll so
tiny a check that it scarcely can be
seen. Stripes are very fine or wide.
The black stripe is not very pro-
nounced, having at distance gfayish
tint. These silks will be used for
Beperate waists, skirts and gowns and
may be worn until late in the fall.
Black silk gowns will also be fasion-
able for fall, stitched with white or
trimmed with some bright shade of
velvet.
Hats are very fanciful and lavishly
trimmed, some of them noticeably pic
turesque with their long plumes and
lace frills over the brim. The most
summary hats have large, Topping
brims and one long plume with ro-
settle of lace, chiffon or ribbon at one
side, or they are entirely covered with
flowers. White crinoline hats are
swagger, also very light. They are
trimmed with long black feather, a
loop bow of black velvet at one side
and a bunch of white clematis tucked
in under the brim. Some of the made
hats of null, batiste embroidery and
lace in combination are charming in
the wide-brimmed sailor shape The
mill is shirred for the foundation and
one OF two wings or breasts are used
as trimming. Hats of shirred taffeta
and embroidery are also pretty. Out
ing hats are Of pique, grass linen, lace
like straws and duck. They are
trimmed with scarfs of silk, bows of
ribbon or wings. The panama with
simple band is seen and worn occasion
ally. The bandeau is used in nearly
all dress hats. 1t is placed around the
inside of the crown, which raises the
hat slightly. This does not interfere
with the angle of brim and makes the
hat more becoming. -,
Skirts gathered in rows from waist
line to Spanish flounce are very pretty,
the flounce accordion plated. Chiffon,
null and soft muzlins are used to GOOD

NO COFFEE HOUSES HERE.
Plan Which Worked Readily In Eng
land Ii Not Taken Up In the
United States.

The coffee house is a temperance
substitute for the inn in England, says
Gunton's Magazine. 1t furnishes,
minus the Intoxicating stimulants,
similar social features, but it is tackled
on to the same social habits that the
inn developed. In this country those
habits were not formed by the saloon
experience, and the attempt to estab-
lish the coffee house as a substitute
for the saloon necessarily lacks that
social incentive which exists in Eng
land. The coffee house here takes on
the feature of the restaurant rather
than either the German beer garden
or the English inn. The Americans
have never learned to go to these
places for their leisurely intercourse
and amusements and hence do not find
it when coffee is substituted for beer.
They have gone to the theaters or
to the clubs for this social outlet.
1t is, therefore, not surprising to the
careful student Of European and
American traditions that the coffee
house plan does not work in this coun-
try, though it worked well in Eng
land To be successful, social and eco
nomic as well as political institutions
must largely grow out of the habits,
customs and desires of the people.

tent be transplanted from one country

SILLY PRACTICAL JOKES.
Aninine Acts of Idiotdc Perpetrators
Which Should bring Severe
Punishment.

Among recent arrivals from Europe
Is a man who went thither in response
to cable message which notified him
that his sister was dying. That was
some idiots idea of funny practical
Joke, as the woman was not i'll. The
victim Of such cruel and wicked joke
is ready to urge legislation which will.
impose on the practical joker penalties
but little less severe than those which
are provided for cases of assault and
injury to the body, says the Philadel-
phAa Record. He maintains that no
bodily harm which is not permanent
can be worse than the distress of mind
which he has been made to suffer.
There are other practical jokes which
result in wounded self-esteem or in a
feeling of humiliation and which hurt
more than any bodily bruiEe. 1t was
French critic of penetration who said
that mans best satisfaction is in not
being dupe. No one, however, can al
ways protect himself against the in
genuity Af the practical joker.
There is room for discrimination as
to practical jokes. The injury which
is inflicted on an unsuspecting person
by loaded cigar or whatever wounds
or disfgures or endangers life is in no
way different (save that it is more
cowardly) from any other brutality.
1t does not belong to the category of
such practical jokes as those which
strike at contemplate weakness or
at unwarranted vanity and self-con-
troll, or which expose humbug or a
braggart. 1t was an excellent thing to
ring in on the experts at the New York
cat show a stray veteran of the alleys
as a $4,000 prize, since it proved that
the judges (who awarded the first
prize to the mongreD were humbugs.
The same jester fattened up retired
street car horse, and by the gorgeous
ness of its harness and blankets and
the style of it's hostlers caused the
New York horse show judges to give
high rating to the animal. Never was
justice better done than in the case of
fool who pretended to have hydro
phobia, and who terrorized the people
in safe by growing and trying to
bite. Two men seized him, and, having
enlisted the aid of doctor, they put
him through course of treatment
which was almost as distressing as
hydrophobia would have been. The
Connecticut man who thought it was
fun to spring from behind tree and
cry "boo!" to a girl escaped with
fine Of $1,000, which was light punish
ment considering the permanent in

Individual SaIaus.

One may serve summer salads very
attractively in individual fashion. Cut
a cucumber in two and scoop out in
solid shape the inside. Cut it in tiny
cubes, lay the shell Of the cucumber
on lettuce leaves and fill with the cut
cucumber, marinated for a few min
utes in French dressing. Garnish
with spoonful Of mayonnaise. A
tomato may be served in the same
fashion. Do not skin it. Cut off the
top and scoop out the pulp, mix with
mayonnaise, put back in the tomato
cup, set in few leaves of lettuce,
and garnish with spoonful of may
onnaise.-Good Housekeeping.

: Make n Human Bridge.

A curious custom takes place in vii
lagos of the Luxembourg district, Bel
gium, in May. After Sunday service
numbers of lads cluster round the
church entrance, and as the girls come
out seize them one by one, one lad
grasping a girl by the shoulder and the
other by the heels, the two lifting her
well up, while third pumpkin passes
under the human bridge thus formed.
This is done in the presence of the
parents, who themselves have passed
through the same ordeal.-St. Louis
Republic.

Coolies Do the Hard work.

The brunt of the hard labor in Ma
Mia, as in many eastern cities, is per-
formed by the coolie class. This is
generally an ignorant but rather con-
tented class. They receive very low
wages and subsist upon what other
people would throw away. They are
indolent unless driven by want of food,
and they bask in the sun like animals.
One of the strange and interesting
sights on any day in Manila is to wit
ness the coolies at their MONDAY ST
esta. They sit about on their launches
and quietly puff their pipes and appear
Dut half awake. This is always after
they have had a full meal of rice and
vesetables-Chicago Chronicle.

IMPROVING POOR MEMORY.
The VIII Must BE Brought to Bear
Upon 1t and 1t Must BE
Exercised.

Memory does not "faiP'-except in
loss of all the faculties; simply gets
weak and languid for want of use
just as the physical organs do, says
the st. Louis Republic.
People often say, my memory is
falling" when it is really as good as
ever, if they would give it chance.
A word, a date, name, an incident
comes up-or, rather, fails to come
up-when you want it. There seems
to be no possible way of remember
ing it. You make two or three eff
forts, give up and say;
There's no use; it's gone from
me-"
Nonsense! 1t hasn't. 1t is there
just as much as it ever was, only
there are a lot of things over it.
Keep at work; bring your will to
bear upon it; try and try, and after
awhile you can get it.
And, better, you will find that the
exercise required in remembering it
will help you next time, and that a
little toll and determination put to-
gether will accomplish wonders in
the whole range of the faculties.
Look. over your memory, see where
you are most deficient and exercise
it in that respect You can do it at
any odd time-while you are walk
ing, riding, resting after a days
work, or listening perforce to a dull
speaker. Don't let few failures dis
courage you. The long corridors of
recollection, lined upon both sides
with valuable material, will be
opened for you because of your inn
portunity, if you use it.

..Natnrnllr. I am interested ;,

NATURALLY, am interested"
Veronica toyed with the petals Of q
rosebud, and her eyes were cast upon
the ground.
Because I have wanted TO see you,
to speak to you, to tell you how bitter
ly sorry I am for my cruel words! |
think must have been madl' she said,
softly. "I came back to the drawing
ROOM" she went on in the same tone,
while her eyes remained still down
cast, "but you had gone, and have
never known happy moment since!'-
Now, had Veronica's conscience per-
mitted her to look into the eyes of the
man at her side, with those wonderful
liquid orbs of hers, it is possible that
the, fascination of her gaze might have
blinded him to the false ring Of her
words, but, as it was, he felt neither
pleased nor flattered.
81 am sorry if you have been un-
happy" he returned, lightly. "but in
these rapid times it does not do to
grieve over the dark and empty past"
"Not dark, nor empty" she said
with mock tenderness and well affect
ed concern; "but tell me. Dudley, have
you forgotten all the paste"
"Alll" he repeated, suavely. 81 sup
pose you mean the days when the
smiles were for others and the frowns
for me. BAIL What mad-headed
fool must have been! But you taught
me a lesson, Veronica, and it was well
laid to heart"
'cDo not speak of It," she exclaimed,
brokenly; "I have told you. Can you
still be so unforgiving?"
There is nothing to forgive" he
replied; "you certainly seemed to
prefer any society to mine in the old
DAYS of which you speak, and ! could
never bear you malice on that scorel"
"But, Dudley" she said, so softly
that her words were scarcely percep-
tibIe. 81 have suffered so, truly I have
seen the error of my ways, the magni-
tude of my cruelty to you'll Come, say
you forgive me, and let us be friends
again"
"No," he returned, nrmly, even
fiercely, "that can never be, Veronica!
You must not forget that even the
most beautiful and accomplished
woman has no right to play with
