The kitchen should be the focal point OF

unseen possibilities to make mar the

Harmonizing Colors.
If the full skirt is of silk in a staid color
say gray or mauve-when lifted it dis
plays perhaps blue quillings, mixed with
lace on the drop-skirt edge. A touch of
black also often peeps from under the out
side petticoat, for frequently a pallid silk
skirt will be faced with black velvet.
So much is color now liked that even with
all-white gowns the under fiummeries are
tinted, though for the matter of that the
whites are tinted too. Shades of rich
cream, oyster and biscuit tints are seen
much more than pure white, which makes
the blending with color an easier matter
than If the whites were of chaster quality.
Dainty and becoming details with both
street and evening skirts are short sash eff
fects, attached to high-girdled bodices.
These seem to give just the finish a tailless
waist requires, and the grace of the skirt
seems increased thereby tenfold. If the
gown is of cloth, with velvet trimmings. the
sash ends are also of velvet. cut bias and
knotted or trimmed with ornaments to SIM
ulate bodice tails. They are scarcely ever
over half yard long, but the device is an
excellent way of hiding defective skirt

splendid slide or buckle is the finish at

A Three Elounced Skirt.


street model used with many Of the little
Elton coats is skirt in three flounces like
wise pavement length, for despite the more
graceful tendencies of trained effects. short
skirts rule on the sidewalk. Often. these
three founces are further accentuated by
a band trimming put on as border, while
the hOunceS themselves are the shaped af-
fairs which are applied without fullness.
The pointed bodices, so much feature
of the season, necesstate most careful
treatment of the upper part Of the skirts
which accompany them. If the figure Is
slight. the delicate texture of such a skirt
is almost without goring from the hips
down; and the little shaping made at the
hips is hidden by the close tucking or sfir-
ring there employed. This quaint fullness-
for such models fall full below the hips
permits the straight bottom trimming used
so much in Paris, and which is productive
OF stunning results.
A Pretty Model.
A skirt of lace net over changeable pin I
silk shows the deep bottom band of pink
velvet applied to the skirt with scattered
lace incrustations.
This full skirt, which is most often har-
messed with jaunty bolero bodice of some
sort, is one of the smart designs of the
season for evening wear. The robe-front-
ed models are also much admired, while
trimmed skirts show the founces put on in
prim straight rows of former days.
But in order to accomplish the right eff
feet it is wise for those who must fashion
their skirts at home to begin proceedings
by buying good pattern.
A number of pattern places Of exclusive
pretensions supply with the fat models
half model, made up to the last detail, to
insure against mistakes. The patterns are
dear-from So up is asked for a skirt in
good style-but the designs furnished are
not those usually seen, and as the models
are cut to measure no material is wasted.
If the entire skirt is not wanted the foun-
dation alone can be had, as well as single

several years. The family have the

Will Hill, the negro murderer,
under sentence of death, to be ex.
ecuted here on July 28th, was re-
turned to the Bolivar Jail last Fri
day from Jackson, where he has
been since the Supreme Court affirm
ed the decision of the lower court.
He created scene at the Jail Tues
day morning. He is becoming
desperate under the strain. Sheriff
Smith, as is his custom, entered the
outer doors Of the Jail, unlocked
one of the prisoners cells and in
structed him to 60 into Hills cell
and perform the usual morning
cleaning. AS soon as the prisoner
entered, the condemned man over
powered him, forced him to give up
the keys and locked him in. Before
leaving his cell, Hill tore from his
bunk two iron bars. He was ordered
to give up the keys and bars and re
turn to his cell, which at first he
positively refused to do and
defed the authorities, saying that
he would not be hung, that he
had a horror of death by hang
ing, and begged the Sheriff to shoot
him then and there. Finally, by
persuasion, he cooled down and re
turned to his cell.
