been an influx Of money and settlers in

Of the Jewett valley, covering larger

Wagner and Coon Songs,
From the London Daily Chronicle.

FrOn the London Daily Chronicle.
1t Is Richard Wagner who fills the music
halls by emptying the opera house of the
man who wants to hear something he can
remember and whistle Melody and sim
pie harmonies he can understand and enjoy.
The old Italian school gave him melodies
which met his case from the first part of
each it was possible more or less to antici-
pate the close That Is perfectly true.
and that is the sort of melody which drives
other men-the minority-frantic Now,
Wagner wrote very little that the errand
boy can whistle with self-satisfaction, even
with an imagined orchestra to support him,
and therefore he takes Engene Stratton
and the coon song for his solace rather
than "Siegfried," as he prefers photographs
of "our little darlings' for the adornment
Of his cigarettes to the Sistine Madonna.

However, there are so many people wear
Ing moire that 1t is safe to predict an in
creasing usefulness for watered silks, par
ucularly as trimming over other fabrics.
Light-CoIored Prints.
Prints in light colors and adorned with
sprays Of flowers or art nouveau patterns
are among the silks now the rage. The in
crease of the pompadour craze is apparent
on every hand. Not only are dresses cut
in the styles OF the Louis XIV period, but
brocades and silks and ribbons are woven
in imitation Of the fabrics dear to the heart
of La Belle Pompadour. There is even q
shade of pink called pompadour and a
parasol with a folding handle is to be ex-
plotted in imitation of the famous beauty S
taste in sunshades. The modern pompa-
dour brocades and pompadour silks are not
strictly copies of the old patterns, for the
preference in the eighteenth century was
for brocade on which appeared small
sprays of blue and pink flowers skillfully
intertwined with gold and all exploited on
light or unglazed ground. The printed
pompadour silks now made are extremely
pretty and look handsome in coats with
vests of white draped with lace. Entire
gowns of them are scarcely to be recon-
mended, as, like all figured goods, they are
trying to the face and appear better when
combined with some plain material and
pie entifully covered with lace. e..
Chiffon and lace fans appliqued with
pompadour patterns in silk are stunning

weight peau de sole has been accorded this
year the position as a popular novelty that
we gave twelve months ago to Louisine:
LouiSine was worn and found wanting, and
those who proved 1t Inadequate are now
sure that half weight peau de sole possesses
every admirable quality. 1t is soft rich,
light to carry, but very durable, and it
comes in lovely new colors.
For evening wear there is sunset pink,
limestone white and an exquisite azure
called prairie blue. Soberer tones for af-
ternoon gowns in a shade of tan that the
saleswomen call tawney flint gray and will
low green. 1t need hardly be mentioned
that these silks are only made into gowns
for occasions. and that they are all trim
