weayes. White gowns of these materials
are marked as brand new by finish of
red, this coming in piping, cording or
stitching. Some of them are set off so
strikingly in this manner as to be a bit
too conspicuous for lovers of quiet ele-
ganee, but red used on white judiciouSly,
and that means in moderate quantity, is
entirely safe at least for younger women.
As a parade get-up for town, the combi-
nation may not be always suitable, but
for the resorts. whether for her who
spends all the season at some summering
place or for a short tripper, it is an ad-
mirable selection. Red is similarly add
ed to pongee, appearing in many shirt
waist suits 1t then hardly seems so
dainty as in the red on white, but of the
two uses one is no more stylish than the
other.
Embroideries laees and ribbons are
employed TO embellish such gowns, and
often the wool goods is combined with
transparency in some intricate scheme.
Nets richly embroidered come in for this
mating, and often are beautifully enrich
ed by Interviewing of ribbons of har
monious shades. Cape collars are galore,
and almost invariably are an improving
addition. Fichus are numerous. too, no
little ingenuity being apparent in the
manner of employing them Laees are
put on with a lavish hand, and there is
a strong tendency to use them with pen
dants. Pearl, passementerie and jet are
added thus. and some pendants snow
neutral shades. The laces most used
are white. though surprising amount of
black lace is seen. Dyed laees appear
with impressive frequency. yet have not
come into the general vogue that some of
their uses would seem to warrant. Ruch-
ings constitute a newly stylish enrich
ment of lace, outlining and emphasizing
the pattern of the web. Chiffon, mousse
line de sole and silk ribbon so narrow as
almost to rank as passementerie are used
IN these ruchings. Ruchings are in fine
standing for trimmings, anyway, being
applied on elaborate dresses in conven-
sional designs. Sashes are numerous,

A Note of Warming.

". Holt.
A Note of Warming.
When the bankers sound notes of
warning of the near approach of finan-
cial trouble and the instability of a
large number of banks from land in
yeStment and speculation ii is time for
the balance of us to look after our own
money and be sure it Is in safe hands
The warming has been given from
many quarters during the past year,
but never more clearly than by Judge
John w. Lusk President of the Ger
man American Bank of st. Paul, in an
address at the late meeting of the
Bankers Association Of Minnesota. He
said:
There never was better time for
bankers to look a little out than now.
We can see. as others cannot, the ear
marks and signs of financial trouble.
When / was in Chicago a short time
ago 1 learned that the country bank
balances at that point had decreased
$1O0O0,000 All the city banks make
similar reports of their country CORE
spondents. The banks of Iowa, for ex-
ample. are treading on dangerous
ground The majority of the country
banks in this State are tied up for
money. and their balances are fewer
than for a long time Many bankers
have been carried away BY the idea
Of prosperity, and have invested and
speculated until they wish they had
not done so. Hardly a day passes in
this city but we learn of some country
bank in trouble. Several have closed
their doors in the last three or four
months. and others are waking up to
the danger of being compelled to
close"
These utterances of Judge Lusk were
indorsed and the warning repeated by

of the Bankers Association
