SWEET SIMPLICITY.

The keynote. of the fashions of the
hour, says an exchange, is an affecta-
ton of freedom and simplicity. Silk,
satin and heavy brocade are things of
the past, or at least they fail to ap-
peal to US from Fashions point of view,
and 1t is with relief that we observe
the soft and graceful lines of modern
modes. Never has there been a sea-
son When Woman's dress was prettier
from an artistic point of view; and
when we consider that the best brains
in the world of fashion have culled
their finest designs from pictures of
the old masters, we realize that at
least Art and Fashion have joined
hands.
The prettiest evening gowns worn
by the smarteSt women are Invariably
those of picturesque order. Our cot
ton frocks and blouses have dainty
collars or fichus of old embroideries.
Elaborate insets of white Valenci-
ennes lace, alternating with diamond
motifs of fine tucked white muslin,
rendered a skirt of pastel blue Cam
ton silk modistic effort of infinite
charm. The which was surmounted
by an Immaculate corsage, wherein
pelerine of soft white embroidered
muslin and lace, dropped in a deep
point back and front over the Shout
der, was by a dexterous movement in
corporated with the silk sleeve, which
ballooned out at the elbow, to be
caught in at the wrists by skin-ti
cuffs, while an altogether amazing and
unexpected contrast was impaired by
sash of golden brown mousseline
satin ribbon, brought from high up
the under-arm seams to cross at the
waist beneath two large fancy buttons.

Curious Crowd Sees a Thorough and
Successful Hunt for Tobacco.


Successful Hunt for Tobacco.
From the New York Sun.
A man about 35. years old stopped on
the. west side of Broadway between
Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth streets
about 8 o'clock last night and began
to search through his coat pockets as
if he had lost everything he had. He
removed his coat and hunted in the
inner pockets Then he dropped the
coat on the walk.
Then he removed his waistcoat and
; went through it's pockets inside and
out. The waistcoat joined the coat on
the sidewalk and the crowd of watch
ers, some of whom were women, in
creased. Then he began to search his
trousers pockets. The trousers were
creased and turned up at the bottom.
He couldn't find what he was looking
for in the pockets and before the sur
prised spectators realized what he was
about to do, he had slipped out of his
trousers.
When he got out of his trousers he
held them up and turned them inside
out. Then he felt them all over care
fully, even unrolling the turned-up sec
ton From the roll of the right leg
piece of plug tobacco dropped to the
pavement. The man grabbed it.
i've found you at last" he said,
I've found you at last"
Then he put the tobacco in his
mouth, donned his clothes and walked
to Thirty-third street, disappearing to-
ward Fifth avenue. Not till he was
out of sight did policeman appear.

PACKING.

When Alice has decided
To summer at the shore,
Her wardrobe must be tidied-
She buys a drygoods store!
And when there's nothing lacking,
Her trunks are brought to light,
And she's packing, packing, packing
From morning until night.
She breakfasts now at seven;
Then to her task she flies;
Her trunks they are eleven,
Of goodly depth and size.
Hats, shoes, books, notions, dresses
Are piled in great array;
She folds and pats and presses,
And fills tray after tray.
The days slip by amounted
While she is toiling on;
But when her tasks surmounted
The Summers almost gone.
And SO her trips prevented:
Her friends have all come back;
But she is quite contented-
I was so much fun to pack.

THE SOUTH END BALL.

However dull one may choose to be
in town, Tybee has a magical effect
for gayety. Each ball night one thinks,
this must be the last, but not so, say
the young people, who are bent upon
pleasure, and are not to be daunted
by the heat.
The South End Pavilion was crowd
ed last evening, and with the moon
high and the gay dance music ringing
there was enough to tempt the most
sober minded to frivolity
The usual number of young city
folks went down to the island in the
afternoon and many enjoyed supper
in the South End Restaurant, and lat
er in the evening the island folk came
strolling across the beach to join in
the pleasure to be found on the big
pavilion. The ball was another sue
cess added to the many delightful af-
fairs that have been given Thursday
evenings at the South End.

Queen Margherita's Automobile Adj
yenfurea
From the Pan Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
1t is not often that a Queen is lost,
but this has just happened to the
Queen Mother of Italy Queen Mar
gherita was in the beginning much
against the motor car, and would not
| hear of entering one, 1t is said, because
| she considered 1t ugly, and-more like
| ly-that it was a danger to the lives
of others. One day. however. she all
lowed herself to be persuaded by her
son to go for a spin with him and
has since caught the fever in it's worst
form.
The other day she, the chauffeur and
lady and gentleman in waiting start
ed early in the morning, intending to
return for late lunch One, two, three
passed with no sign of them; four and
five with still complete silence, until
those in the palace could not contain
their anxiety and determined to take
measures. Then followed a wild con-
fusion of ringing of telephones, tramp
ling of flying horses, dispatch of SER
wants, carab ineers and police agents
in every direction. At first nothing
could be heard of the lost motor car,
until a barabneer, about p. m, came
upon car which he thought he knew
in tiny village and which investiga-
ton showed to be the one he was in
search Of A little further on he found
a tiny inn, and looking through the
vines into the garden saw her majesty
and the others, seated TRANQUILITY at a
table having an al fresco meal, which
appeared to be much to their taste
while the excited peasant landlady
lowered in the background, her knees
showing an inclination to kneel every
time the Queen looked at her.
1t seems that the car had broken
down some little distance from the VIII
lage, and could not be mended quickly
with the means at hand. Telephones
were unknown there, so the party had
philosophically made the best of it, the
Queen exclaiming when she left: Il
never dreamed how good polenta could

NOR time, according to the calendar,

vannah. is certainly true. After gay
winter the fashionable people who are
still left at home are content to do
without pleasure of any ordered sort,
choosing in it's stead those informal
diversions that come unlimited.
Even the al fresco entertainments
and the parties at nearby country
homes. which are generally such an
attractive feature of Savannah's sum-
mer life, have been almost entirely
abandoned, and boating trips from
the Yacht Club, trolley rides by moon
light, FISH suppers in the country, have

always popular of an afternoon, but
the Golf Club is deserted even of its
most energetic members, and is not
likely to see a resumption of gayety
before October or later, although am
bilious golfers will be out to practice
their strokes with the first Whit of
cool weather in September.
The Tybee cottagers are getting
ready to move, and that means that
the Tybee season is almost over, al
though the dances will continue to be
an attraction for some time yet to
those who put off their northward de-
parture until late in the fall.
Those who have braved the hot
weather in town until now are prepar-
ing for fight to cooler climes, and the
next two months will see the city prac-
tically forsaken by it's smart set,
whose winter amusements do not be-
gin until the end of November with

We have never understood the pop
ular sentiment which regards a head
free from hair as a disgraceful or ri
diculous object. That the sentiment
is as old as it is widespread is shown
by the story of Elisha and the mock
ing boys, The sentiment is also shar-
ed by the Public Prosecutor of Cracow.
There is a club of .bald-headed men
in that city, any they asked Archduke
Charles Stephen to become their Hon
orary President; the Public Prosecutor
heard of their appeal, and instructed
proceedings to be taken against the
petitioners for an insult to one of the
royal family. We are glad to say that
the Archduke interviewed, and the case
was quashed, although his royal nigh
ness felt unable to accept the proffered
honor. That officious Public Prosecu-
tor must hold similar views to those
of comrade in long-ago Spain, who
regarded it as an indelicacy to sug-
gest that the Queen of Spain had
legs. Meanwhile, we look forward 10
the time when a smooth, clean pate
shall be as honorable and fashionable
as a clean-shaven face is now.
