FLORAL DECORATIONS
DINNER TABLE PIECES WILL BE
LOW.
Thanks to King Edward, Gar
denias Remain in
Favor.

Written for The Evening Star.
The fashionable doral season Is now fairly
open. for society IS focking back to the
cities and preparing for the campaign of
1904-1905. The florists frankly admit that
they have no new flower to offer the fad
Gists and novelty seekers So long as King
Edward reigns the gardenia will probably
hold its place as the first flower of society.
He wears them exclusively. They cost from
SIS to $50 dozen ana are used almost sole
ly for boutonnieres by men who desire a
blossom in their coats
Thanks to the prevalent rage for burnt
orange. the somewhat old-fashioned flower
trftonia, is being used for decorative pur-
| poses. 1t looks like cylinder, four or
five inches long. and it is made up of innu-
merable waXen blossoms, the exact coz de
roche shade which women are wearing I'm
their hats. Wall flowers in the various
shades CT orange are also used for this
purpose. Plumosus. asparagus fern. which
IL very fine and feathery. is the favorite
greenery of the hour to combine with these
stiff, orange-colored flowers.
In the matter of table decorations all
florists agree that the low plateau will
reign for the centcrpiece. This is for a
practical reason; guests like to talk across
table. and they cannot do so If screened by
a towering mass OF flowers. When a
plateau is ordered for a dinner the hostess
sends the exact size desired. This is be-
cause the new tablecloths are made almost
entirely of lace, save small circle of linen
in the center. This linen is to be completely
covered with the flowers.
Some women select a flower and use 1t
invariably at their dinners. that 1t be-
comes identified with their entertaining.
Mrs. Aston. the leader of New Yorks 400"
uses nothing but American beauties. Mrs.
Clarence Mackay prefers orchids, prefer
ably white or the palest tints. Young Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt has a fad for the
largest and richest yellow roses Mrs.
Jack Gardner of Boston is another devotee
of the orchid.
For large and formal functions. such as
receptions, American beauty roses furnish
the stateliest decorations. They are grown
to the height of six feet by cutting off all
the branches and blossoms of the plant
save one, and sell for $40 to $50 a dozen,
according to their height and the season.
White orchids and lilies of the valley will
be the favorte combination for weddings,
and there is every prospect that violets will
be more popular than ever this year Fash
ionable women Clready placing orders
for a daily bunch of these fragrant flowers
which will be tied with violet-colored velvet
ribbon.
For coaching parties the gardenia is the
fsvorite flower For dinners, at the con-
c,usion of an automobile run. the center
piece is generally low made of wicker
and filled to overlooking with flowers

When Vacations Are Over.

Housekeepers returning to closed houses
always find that the severe heat of the sum-
mer has left its traces. n one house, from
the library mantel Of oiled walnut drops
of OIL have oozed. staining mirror ana
pictures on the chimney piece. A mixture
of alcohol and water was used to re9air
part of the damage, and the wood was re-
dressed with polish made of pint of par
ATTN oil, half gill of turpentine and half
gill of alcohol. This was applied with a
soft cloth, left for fifteen minutes, then
rubbed briskly with an old silk handker-
chief. Gilt furniture which is soiIed or
furnished may be cleaned with alcohol into
which whiting is sifted to form cream
This should be applied a little at a time
and rubbed Off before it has chance to
harden. If, Notwithstanding this care
some spot sticks. it may be quickly re-
moved if lightly touched with clear aIco-
hol. The same liquid is a good cleanser
for furniture upholstered in delicate shades.
If used lightly it will not spot or stain the
palest colorings. To clean the tuftings
make swabs of cotton tied on small sticks
and wet them in alcohol. The cotton should
be frequently renewed. Any cleaning OF
highly polished delicately upholstered
furniture needs constant renewal of cloths;
otherwise the soil taken from one part by
the action of the cleaning fluid will be
transferred to another.

ialized one has to go to Trouv- lie and Deau-
vile. where the gay set from all the cor
ners of the continent and. one might almost
say the wide. wide world, is gathered to
enjoy the race season at this Versailles by
the sea" as Baron ST. Almond is said to
have called Trouville.
Change in Lines.
The tendencies of the new styles are all
directed to a revolution in the lines Of
bodice and sleeves. The lines of the bodice,
which gradually have been undergoing n
change, have now finally settled upon
sheathlike silhouette. The pouch of the
blouse has entirely disappeared. and the
folds of the bodice have been drawn closer
TO the figure The pointed bodice is now
the thing. and it fits perfectly about the
figure, defining the bust and waist in a
svelte fashion This change in lines makes
the figure appear very slender above the
VOluminousness of the full skirt.
There is always harmony in modes. For
instance. we gather our skirts fully around
the waist and the softest. most charming
materials are provided. so that the skirt
of this genre hangs in soft suppleness and
is not stiff and awkward, but thing OF
beauty grace and charm. A sartorial rule
anent these full skirts seems to be that
they shall be almost invariably of a round
length Some of these gowns, however.
for dressy occasions have deni-tTans and
every skirt is longer at the sides and in
front than the average woman can COM
fortably manage.
Narrow in Front.
Even these full jupons are gored. and,
no matter how the material is manipula ted.
the new skirt has a narrow. plain effect in
front. 1t may take the form of a panel. a
petticoat or box plait. but there is always

also to turn her toes out, and this is at
tractive enough when it is a part Of dane
ing instead of part of mothers nagg1ng
When she keeps the left foot In position
and points the toe of the right, placing
that toe in front and to the left of the LETT
toe, she thinks 1t is fun to see how long
she can stand in that position without tot
tering and without unpointing the toe
Balancing has begun to form part OF her
knowledge.
All dancing teachers are now giving phys
ical culture exercises before the real dane
ing lessons. Their object rs to relax rather
than to strengthen. The little body must
be as 1.-THE as possible. The muscle-bulld-
ing motions. such as clenching the fists and

Chinese Slavery.
N the Chicago Journal

From the Chicago Journal
China is the great slave country of the
world. OF population of 400.0O0,000 there
are slaves to the number of 10000 900
Every family of means keeps its girl slaves
and mans position is usually gaused by
the number he keeps At any age from
three to fifteen girls are sold. seven or eight
being the age at which most change hands
The girls are purchased to do Homework
i. being cheaper to buy than to hire
Slaves vary in price: e. is about the aver
age, but much depends on the girls appear

softened by ruff1es of plated lace edged
lisse. The blouse fullness came in a novel
gashion from tiny tucks arranged entirely
over the front at the shoulder line and ex-
tended in some mysterious manner an
eighth of yard down the sleeve, which
puffed into a deep velvet cuff.
This costume was far and away the most
stunning of the seasons street models seen
50 far. | must not forget to say that the
hat accompanying this gown was quite as
smart in Its way as the gown itself. 1t was
a large silky brown beaver caught up at
the side and denied at the back with that
artistic touch and Partisan cachet unmis-
taxable in everything these milliners handle.
The only trimming this chapeau was a
cluster of brown tips, through which was
stuck a brown aigret. A study in somber
tones certainly, but an extremely elegant
one.
Wide at the Top.
The sleeve which will carry with it UNI
doubted conviction of 'newness" has I'M
usual width at the top. Indeed, many of
the manches are so shirred and rounded
at the arms eyes that there is an impress
sion of a padding underneath, which in
some instances is verified. From this
width at the top there is gradual de-
scent in the fullness until it reaches the
elbow, where the sleeve is perfectly close
fitting, but not necessarily plain, for there
are endless ways of disposing of the fiat
surface. The cavalier or directoire cuff.
much elaborated or with bands of en-
broidery and lace with plated ruffles at the
hand and outstanding rows sometimes
reaching to the elbow, is a fayorite dispo-
sition of the lower sleeve. The mousuue-
taire manche is a favorte and has the adj
vantage of being quite within the PROV
| ince of the home dressmaker being simply
evolved by stirring the front seam as

MOTOR CAR HELD UP.
Tourist Party Robbed Near Willow
 Grove Pa.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5.-A. c. Hall of New York, with party in an automobile, while eR route on old York road late in the evening was held up at the point of a pistol and robbed by daring highwayman who rode mo- tor cycle. The highwayman secured $1 ,000 in money and jewelry and made his escape, leaving no possible clew. Tn the automobile with MT. Hall were Mrs Hall, Mrs. Arthur l.. Jackson and Mrs. Thomas c. Walton
 They were on their way to the Dela- ware Water Gap Stranded in the dark, lonely highway, the quartet were com pelled to walk two miles to a tollgate. Housing the keeper, they were driven to Doylestown, The automobile, which had been rendered useless by com mand of the robbsr, was left in the roadway.
 MT. Hall and his party left Philadel- phia at 4:30 o'clock for the Delaware Water Gap. They had just come up from Atlantic City. Arriving at Will low Grove, the party took supper in the Casino at the park there and stay ed until 9 D. m., listening to the music of the band. Leaving Willow Grove in the big red double cylinder touring car, the party started for Easton by way of Doylestown.
 All went well until heavy grade four and half miles from Willow Grove was reached. Mr. Hall slowed up to take the steep hill. As he near ed the crossroads at the summit he heard the toot of an auto horn and thought another machine was ap- preaching. Then in the light of his own headlight Mr. Hall discerned a motor cyclist fifty feet away. He rode up to the automobile and pulling out a pistol called:
 "Get out of that machine quick hurry nowp'
 ''Why, what do you mean!" gasped the astonished MT. Hall.
 1T mean just what I say, and be quick" replied the highwayman.
 At that MT. Hall got down to the ground, assisting the frightened women to alight after him, The highwayman then searched all four, taking MT. Halls morpy and the jewels from the women. HA then commanded MT. Hall to empty his gasoline tank into the road, disconnect his batteries and let the air out of his tires This the help less MT. Hall did while the desperate held his gun poised at his head.

FATHER CREMrN TALKS.
Thinks Railroad OHicials Gave 'Him-
 self and Party intentional Slight

Bridgeport, Aug. 5-Rev Father Cremin, pastor of St Augustine's church to-day made a formal reply to the N. Y., N H. & H. railroad company regarding the refusal of the company to stop the express due in this city at 5:30 at South Norwalk. Father Crem- in says. T would like to look at this incident as a misunderstanding, but in light of the facts, cannot do so. I must regard the affair as an intentional slight. I made my request through MT Bishop, to whom I explained the matter very fully. The company's re ply was forwarded to state agent Hunt, who handed it to me. notified the company fully five hours before the train left Bridgeport The reason for Cardinal Satollis anxiety to depart Un that train was his desire to meet Monsigneur Falconi the apostolic dele gate.

PEASLEY BARRED OUT.
Went to Prospect But He Didn't Ger
 the Deposition.

Some time ago Attorney Peasley of this city brought a suit in behalf of Mrs Grace Wallace and her children against Mrs Lilly Crawson of Prospect to have q deed of the Wallace property which had been made in favor of Mrs Crawson set aside. When MT Wal lace died he left valuable farm and other property. It is alleged that at the time Mrs Crawson induced the other children to sign their rights in the property over to their mother on condition that when she died, the prop erty would be evenly divided among the children. After, 1t is said, Mrs Crawson induced her mother to deed the property to her. Hence the suit.
 Yesterday Attorney James Peasley and Court Stenographer Thomas
 Walsh drove over to the Wallace homestead in Prospect to take the deposition of Mrs Wallace in the mat ter. They were met at the door by Mrs Crawson, who refused them ad- mission on the ground that her mother was too sick to see anybody. She needed quiet and rest The Waterbury attorney was told to cail-again.
