Black Gowns.

Although we say that black is mo color"
the black dress of perfection has many
nights and shades, being composed not of
one black, but of many. Take. for Instance.
the dead black of crepe de chine mixed with
that peculiarly beautiful cloudy effect of
black chiffon. This would probably be
trimmed with glimmer of satin and a be-
coming black chenille or velvet. with let of
varying shades. Then is created a black
dress which is charming in detail
There is a great desire for black chene

beautiful as crepe de chine, but they are
new, they are useful

fastidious women have lace mitts dyed the
color of the costumes with which they are
TO be worn For instance. with a violet
frock the arm coverings are Of the same
shade and eXhale a delicate odor of wood
violet.
Passing from mitts to gloves, it is notice
able that silk and Isle ones have quite
taken the place of chamOis or kids. The
armlet or the portion of the front of the
glove which covers the hand is often made
of lace. a condition highly favorable to the
free admission of air Gray. white and all
the delicate shades of cream and tan are
worn; the best taste, however. demands
that gloves shall match gowns. Even with
evening dresses long white or cream-tinted
silk gloves reach to the elbow. An open-
work effect over the hand allows freedom
of movement and GOODNESS. The fingers are
bare, and the glitter of rings adds not lit
tie to the charming appearance

Picturesque and Pretty.

These fatty trimmed shepherdess hats
are ultra stylish, only the smartest women
as yet taking to them. A New York tusse
who frequents the Saratoga race course is
especially addicted to them, white with
parrot green, purple and violet, and black
and white being some of her color combi-
nations.
The other end of fashionable woman-her
pedal extremties-is given up on dressy oc-
casions to high heeled satin slippers (these
even for the promenade) and silk stockings
with lace insets. And now add a ''C' to
"insets" and you see the new French stock
ings worn by the swagger woman. Insect
ward they all go, bees. wasps and even the
harmless domestic fly glorifying many a
modest instep.
BY contrast with this giddiness plain silk
stockings seem almost nunlike. But, of
course, the lace-trinNned pnes are dear, too
dear for the majority ofzus So let me ad-

strands Of gold are seldom or never seen;
instead. link chains with mounted jewels or
enamel slides at regular intervals represent
the choicest specimens. TOpaZes amethysts,
sapphires. emeralds and all clear stones are
effectively used this way COrals connected
by gold links make striking and handsome
chains and are just the things for young
girls, whose pink and white compilations
are the more brilliant for contrast against
the red and gold. Chains set off the high

ceptance. The hats are trimmed very lit

black and white liberty silk scarf is the
finish generally given to them.
Sailor Hats Survive.
Sailor hats are seen not at all save on
the strong minded brows of American tour
lists. They cannot be blamed for preferring
them, since they are eminently neat, and
with a damp cloth or a brush can be rob-
bed of all the stains of travel. soft veil
draped around the crown gives them
touch of jauntiness, and handsome hatpin
relieves the strict severity of their outlines.
In warning to the woman who is thinking
of buying veil let me say beware of the
bright green's, reds and blues and browns.
Especially shun those gorgeously bedizened
with velvet or chenille spots in contrasting
colors. The large department stores are
clearing out their stocks of these, which
means their extinction, since some time ago
really fashionable women left them entirely
to the ladies of the middle class.

popularity of lace mitts. No summer ward
robe is complete without pair. Fine open

the correct thing for demidress toilets.

Passing Of the Cattle Range.

As an outlet for Texas cattle Indian
Territory pastures are rapidly becom-
ing a thing of the past. Opening of
Indian lands to settlement Is the cause.
Year by year the area OF pasturage ac-
cessible to quarantine cattle is becom-
ing more circumscribed and expensive
and the South Texas cattle grower is
brought face TO face with the problem
of securing a new outlet. That he has
no alternative but TO put his stock
in condition for the block himself is
apparent. This will probably be the
last year that the Territory pastures
will be available and South Texas
must go into feeding or go out of the
cattle business or at least its present
pretentious scale.-The Live Stocl

THE wooococK.
where Does It Hide During the MoIt-
Inn SeRsOnf

IL Is during the months OF August
and September that the mystery OF
the woodcock's life begins. This is
the molting season, when the bird
changes its plumage before beginning
its journey southwark. At this time II
leaves the swamps. Where does II

Sr yet received satisfactory answer
although each sportsman and natural.
ist has his own opinion, and many fine
spun theories have been advanced.
Some say that the birds move toward
the north, some that they seek the
mountain tops, coming into the swamps
10 feed only after nightfall; some that
they seek the cornfields, and there
have been many other such theories.
Probably the truth lies in n mean OF
all these statements. l think IL prob
able that the birds know the loss OF
their feathers renders them TO GER
tain extent helpless and more exposed

and they therefore leave the more open
swamps and hide In the densest and
most tangled thickets. 1t IL certain
that they scatter. for at this season

usual and unexpected places.
