dress, while very dainty and pretty,
is easy to accomplish. 1t looks well In
any kind of thin material.
Just at the present moment the sum-
mer styles are all out and the fall
things are still in embryo, but every
week some clever invention will be
shown to keep up interest The prett-
est things just now are the paletots
and the silk shirt waist dresses. Fou-
lard is used to make many OF these,
blue and white or black and white and
some few other colors always mingled
with black.
The taffeta dresses show a greater
variety Of color, aud they are really
dainty and crisply fresh and summary.
Lace, chiffon and narrow velvet and
ribbons are employed to trim them.
Many of these are tucked and have
lace insertion. White and black india
silks are also among the newest OF the
summer dresses to be made up with
shirt waists The black ones are
trimmed lavishly with white lace, and
vice versa. India silk is good value In
that 1t can be Numbered like muslin.
White dresses seem to soil so quickly
that it is real boon to find silk that
! will wash and look all right when It is
done. You cannot tell that these india
silks have been washed. for they al
ways look new.
For ruhabout skirts quite a fad has
developed for mohair and sicilienne II

as they shed dust so we'll and they
though inexpensive, always look dressy
They are offered In many colors Just
now, navy blue being the first choice
with black and gray next. The skirti
are made up with a shaped founce

or satin ribbon sewed around the bot
tom. The skirts are not lined.

A Popular Garment which II More
Ornamental Than Useful.
A pretty and summary garment Is
called the paletot, and, though it is not
constructed with view to affording
much warmth, it is very dressv and
therefore by certain reflex action
may tend to keep the heart in a certain
glow of satisfaction. There are many
OF these paletots, and all are of ex-
tremely thin material, designed almost
entirely with an eye to decorative eff
feet They generally have for solidity
something in the shape of yoke, to
which the rest Is attached, and this
hangs as long as the wearer wishes
her paletot to be. Some reach but lit
tie below the waist, while others fall
quite to the knees or even beyond.
Lace, chiffon, silk null and other thin
and fine stuffs are seen, but the Rus
sian net with an application of some
other black lace set on in motifs looks
best. There is fish net which lends
itself well to this kind Of trimming,
and the open weave leaves the waist
in plain view, which is a great consid-

without sleeves, but others have long,
loose and large sleeves.
The yoke may be of velvet, silk, ap-
plique or indeed almost anything that
suits the wearer. This Is to be
trimmed with lace and chiffon accor-
dion ruffles. Pretty ribbon bows with
long ends can be set in front at each
side of the shoulders. The paletot IL
Illustrated has the yoke of black taffeta,
while the body is Of silk null, with
overlays of black lace around the bot
tom. There are no sleeves, the plated
ruffie of the silk null filing their
places.
This paletot is worn over faint pink
mistral dress, which indicates that We
have not by any means abandoned the
plan Of the tucked skirt. The employ
ment of narrow tucks at the upper par
of the skirt and letting them fall fret
to form the necessary fullness aroun'
the bottom is as well liked and as OF

THE MAINE ELECTION,
Latest Returns Indicate Republican
 Plurality of 28, ,00O.

Portland, Me, Sept. 9.-votes con- tinue to come in slowly from the back towns, especially from the Fourth dis trict, or extreme eastern section of the state. Since noon reports have been received from sixty-two towns. At 10 o'clock tonight 360 of the 521 towns give Governor John F. Hill, republican, plurality of 23,617 votes. The indica- tions are that the 160 towns yet to re- port will increase the republican plural ity to 26,000.
 With only one senatorial and half a dozen representative district returns missing the republicans have elected all but two senators and twenty-three rep resentatives. In Lincoln county, Luther Maddocks, the republican candidate for senator, claims safe plurality. If he is elected the senate will stand thirty republicans and one democrat, as two years ago.
