There is another new frock adorn-

crate costumes. 1t is formed of appli-
qued medallions of lace sewed on the
fabric over a contrasting color. These
medallions are in all shapes and sizes
in conventional square, round or oval
patterns. and used as strips and three
cornered pieces. They are disposed all
over the dress or applied at the sweet
will of the modiste. 1t is very neces-

Worth is the accepted authority on
the wedding gown, and here is a descrip-
ton of one of his latest creations. 1t is
of the ever powerful and effective
mousseline de sole. than which nothing
is prettier- The skirt mounted over silk
is double the upper skirt several inches
shorter than the lower skirt, both of
which have a ruche of mousseline at
their edges. Inserted in the upper
skirt is an undulating band of lace and
above this is a festooned arrangement
/ of the material caught with sprays of
orange flowers. Between that and the
shirred yoke and fitted empiecement of
lace are motifs of the same applied
here and there. Beyond the shirred
yoke and waist collar is a lace bolero
held in place by bretelle-like pieces of
flower decked mousseline The sleeves
have the appearance of being dropped
from an angels wing-so light and
airy are they-and above the elbow
meet a very earthly cuff of shirred
mousseline. "A tulle veil edged with
a narrow border of lace and small
wreath of orange blossoms ought to
make girl one of the daintiest brides
of her day.

Household Furnishings.
VAS THEIR FIRST CALL

However much the Commercial club
may wish to relieve itself of the business
OF furnishing assistance to the distress
ed persons driven from their homes in
North Topeka everything indicates the
impossibility Of closing the relief head
quarters before the end of this week.
Two hundred people who had not pre-
viously received a cents worth of relief
from the general headquarters since its
opening. stood in line and were given
orders for clothing. furniture and food
this morning At o'clock this after
noon the headquarters began distribut-
ing articles to people who had already
received assistance. Where all these
people, who have not before drawn upon
the general funds for assistance, have
secured means of keeping alive since
they were driven from their homes two
weeks go. nobody knows. Most of them
were women and old men. Evidently
they were fully as deserving of aid as
any who had been given it.
The decision Of the Commercial club
that TIE supplying OF food should be cut
off has been followed by the men in
charge of the relief headquarters so that
FAR less food was given out today than
upln any day previously. Tomorrow

very small orders for groceries have
been given enough only to last a day or
two. The idea has been to require every
able bodied man and boy to so to work

although the supply Of available houses
has almost reached the vanishing point.
