NOTES OF THE MODES.
Odd Items Of Feminine Finery That
Are In Vogue for the Cur
rent Season.

White chip picture hats trimmed
with black velvet ribbon and red OF
pink roses are in high favor, reports
the Brooklyn Eagle.
A distinctly elegant gown is OF
oyster white cloth with a sun-ray
skirt and Hungarian embroideries in
green and mauve.
Pipings of yellow taffeta around
the tabs of skirt and basque and
bodice give a modish touch of color
to a gown of white wolfe. The tiny
cravatte, as well as the lining, is of
the same yellow silk.
Many of the loosely fitting coats
are of the new tussore silk, richly
garnished with thick string lace.
Pompadour ribbon alternating with
wolfe or gauze compose some of the
imported summer gowns.
The new plated motor skirts are
especially smart in all the dust-colored
cloths, voiles and coarse alpacas, which
latter material is, of course, ideal for
the purpose.
Blouses are being built very often in
quite plain designs and are intended
to be worn with the stole collars.
A pleasant variation of the cape
collar is the lace fchu cut deep behind,
with tapering ends to che waist. This
corsage finish is also seen made of the
same material as the bodice, with in
sertions and edging of lace.
An evening gown of the new corn
flower shade in tulle was finished with
belt of black taffeta and deep ecru
and black collar.
The ceinture on a black jetted lace
gown was of bluet silk, fastened at the
back with an amethyst buckle.
Pale blue, mauve and rose tints are
leading favorites in linen, batiste and
other wash fabrics.
Floral painted tussores make up into
the prettiest of summer frocks or
blouses, with soft chou and ceinture
of liberty silk for the requisite note of
color. @##
Brussels applique robes and pastel
shaped sequin gowns in black and tint
ed nets are fashionable.
VI 1dAcy cHlDIulueIeu anu 4udlHtly-
shaped lawn and cambria stocks there
is no end, but these trif1es are by no
means cheap.
If something specially dainty is de-.
sired there are charming clerical
stocks of hand-painted muslin edged
with black chantilly, having applica-
lions of the same on the ends.
Cream lace robes are worn with just
a floral garniture or corsage trimming
and ceinture of colored ribbon.
For morning wear for young girls
are very becoming round, golden, fancy
straw hats, wreathed with forget-me-
nots or roses, and one model has for
decoration nothing but wide reed
foliage and bright red cherries round
and under the brim.

fort before the foreigners in south
ern Utah village. His advent had
been widely heralded, and the ohal!
in which the meeting was to be held
was crowded with Swedish farmers
when Mr.. Smoot turned on his elo-
quence. ,.....,
The applause was not all that he
had expected. Only one person, an
old man on the front row, seemed
exceptionally interested. He APP
applauded wildly, laughed at all the
speakers jokes, and manifested every
sign of excited appreciation.
- After Mr.. Smoot had finished, his
enthusiastic auditor arose to speak.
Feeling grateful the senator deter
mined to show his appreciation in
like manner. The old mans remarks
were entirely In Swedish, which was,
to Mr.. Smoot, denser than Greek, but,
not to be outdone, Mr.. Smoot fol-
lowed the infection of the speakers
voice, and whenever he thought eli
max was reached, led the applause
wildly.
II cheered and stamped on the
floor in a most undignified manner"
said Mr.. Smoot, in relating the story,
land l was at loss to understand
the curious looks centered upon me.
Finally man sitting behind leaned
forward and inquired if understood
the speaker.
"'Not word confessed. but it's
a good speech, isn't it?'
Well he replied. YOU may be
interested to know that he's translat-
ing your speech. None of these peo-
pie understand English

Heir Presumptive to, the Throne Of the
Italian Kingdom..i
signs of the naughty arrogance and
the unyielding spirit that have
helped to make him unpopular
throughout Italy. He would prob
ably be a hard man to deal with, and
the people of Italy are hoping and
even praying that he may never be
their ruler, and it will be great day
in Italy if the beautiful Queen Helene
should some time present the king
with son. The duke of Aosta would
be the one man in Italy who would
not rejoice over an event of this
kind. Should he succeed to the throne
he might realize in his own expert
ence the truth of the old saying that
Uneasy lies the head that wears q
crown" for his life would not be a
very happy one in the face of the
strong and unyielding prejudice of
the Italian people. A kingly career
is not one of continual smooth sail
ing, even when one is in high favor
with ones subjects, and it is career
of much anxiety and unhappiness
when one is ruler in opposition to
the wishes of his people. So here's
hoping that the stork is even now
on his way to the royal palace of
Italy with lusty young son to glad
den the hearts Of the king and queen
and the hearts of the people of Italy.
