IIase coucedido permiso don Girls

de estilo moderno en- la Plaza de Bal

El CONCEAL sef1or Miranda vot6 en-

La verdad es que 81 estos no Sc pue-
den poner enlas p:azas, no sabemos en-

A loving cup with an interesting his

"a present from Edmund Burke to Sam

little from the modern appliance. The
car starts from high tower down an
inclined plane, where it gains sufficient
impetus to carry it round a loop, after
which it runs up another incline 10 a
similar tower, where the passengers
disembark. To the best of our belief

Democrat. A very high reach of
water was scored in the Mississippi

although this is not certain, the river
was higher at this point in those
years than it will be in 1903 In 1885
the rivers of the west were on such

FASHIONS MIRROR.
Some of the Pretty Feminine Fancies
of the Season Reelected
Therein.

Strawberries, blackberries, raspber.
ries and even gooseberries are used for
hat decorations. The Strawberries are
made of velvet, studded with brown
and yellow seeds, and are very true to
nature. All of these fruits are
mounted with plenty of leaves, says the
New York Post.
Plum color has come to the fore
again. 1t combines we'll with pale blue,
and when used on hats forms good
background for pansies. One model of
plum-colored rice straw is almost COW
cred with small pansies in different
shades.
A very striking hat, an Importation,
is made of that vivid dark blue color
which is so prominent this season.
There is a rolled brim of the blue, and
the top of the crown repeats the color.
The sides of the crown and the edge
OF the brim consist of rows of bright
red, white and fax-blue braids. The
hat tits we'll over the face of the wear.
er and is lifted behind with a bunch Of
cherries and leaves. 1t has no other
trimming.
Lace is so becoming to the face that
it is curious that it is not oftener worn
as head dress. The pompadour style
OF tea gown has brought in the fashion
of wearing with it tiny lace cap or
snood. This is merely small triangle
OF old lace, fastened with gold or Jew
eled pin to the top of the hair, and tied
either high up or just under the ear or
taken behind and pinned below the
knot of hair at the back. In France
young married women are affecting
this style.
A pretty street gown is of dark blue
and green tartan, the skirt made with
inlet plaits of plain green silk canvas.
The bodice is simple, and has few
rows of shirring around the waist. A
folded belt of white polka dotted silk
IS drawn down to a point in front. A
deep cape collar of needlework gui-
pure, bordered with taffeta ruchinp.
opens over a front of embroidered
lawn.
Every visit to the shops or to the i'm
porters' rooms deepens the impression
that fringes are to be the next thing in
trimmings. GUNNER evening gowns of
arrest gauzes are embellished with
narrow silk fringes, natural colored.
and white pongee and ecru batistes
are trimmed profusely with ecru linen
fringes, both wide and narrow.
Accordion and sun plated skirts are
not recommended for street wear, es-
pecially when the weather is doubtful.
An accordion plaited skirt in the wind
or when the walks are damp is trial.
For indoor wear, however, they are
| acceptable. Several commencement
| gowns have been made in this way.
| White albatross, pongee, and even mus
lin are pretty in accordion plating.
A great deal of material is required,
but the saving in trimmings is some
thing. 25-cent mercerized cotton
null, with skirt and bodice sun plait-
ed, has for sole ornamentation mar
row bertha of lace finishing the round
neck, and band Of lace on the elbow
sleeves. A crush girdle of white liber-
ty silk confines the waist of the dain,
test of dancing frocks.

to the ham sandwich chap. The latter
looked at me and dropped the mustard

likely to closely approach this year.
But this fact tells us that the persons
who have been removing the forests
are not solely responsible for the
freshets. These occurred before the
aNman made his appearance, although
the extension of the area of settle
ment makes the floods of the present
day vastly more destructive than were
those of 40 or 80 years ago. The ne
cessity for the invention of some
means whereby the surplus waters of
the spring and early summer months
can be stored SO as to prevent de-
in the season is more urgent than it
ever was in the past.
