PONGEE SHIRT WAIST SUIT.

we'll as other materials, are so draped
as to form long, broad ends, and are
worn loose over the face. One of the
novelties in wells is of plain net with
a border of graduated chenille dots
This is also worn loose. Although this
style may be cooler it does not pro-
tect the hair. The made veil still
continues to be favorite, and the cir
cular one Is a novelty. Mousesline de
sole and chiffon are the best for au-
tomobiling and travelling, green and
brown being the popular colors. In
London the veil floating over the
shoulder Is the favorite.
Fine cotton embroideries are more
fashionable than lace, although lace
is used for fancy designs, medallions
and ruftles. Many new designs are
shown. Old-fashioned trimmings are
appearing in modish gowns, such as
pfnked ruff1es Suede is sing used by
most exclusive dressmakers, leaf green
and orange being most popular. Passe-
menteries show leaf and fruit designs
Of vivid colors combined with gold.
Silk rings are used in the decorative
scheme, and some crocheted or button
holed in all sized. Many are worked
with gilt thread. They should either
be inserted in the material or they may
be placed in relief upon it. Circles are
cut out Of broadcloth and the open
spaces filled with fancy worked rings.
Some of the daintiest buttons are con-.
structed Of these rings
Many thin materials are attractive
and inexpensive. A pretty summer
dress Of white with sprays of apple
blossoms has slightly gored full
skirt, shirred about four times around
the hips with three deep graduated
tucks and deep hem at the bottom.
The waist is full blouse, with two
tucks across the bust to match the
skirt. From the neck fitted lace
yoke forms deep bertha, which falls
to the waist line in points back and
front Beginning at the neck of the
bertha are five small rosettes of liberty
satin with French knotted centers in
black. A deep crushed girdle to match
the rosettes is fastened to the waist.

with three narrow ruff1es edged with
lace. These ruffes are put so as to
show through the spaces between the
tucks. The gown is long all around.
especially in the back. The wide, full
skirt gives plenty Of space for the
many tucks, ruffles and bands.
The shirt-waist suit in the picture
is an excellent model for pongee,
foulard, linen or any of the pretty
wash goods so fashionable just now.
The waist is in blouse effect, to be
worn over chemisette of lace. The
suit requires no trimming but machine
stitching, but in foulard or pongee
good effect is given by using a COL
ored piping around the straps and fin
fishing each point with a silk-covered
button. The seven-gore skirt fits snug
ly around the hips with decided flare
at the bottom

cuRlo US BODY OF WATER,
Lake II Abyssinia That Is Supplied
by Streams Flowing Inland T
: =, j from tho Sea. Pr

In Consul SINNERS recent report on
his visit to Ably sinia he mentions one of
the most curious bodies of water in the
world, though we rarely hear Of it. He
says, quotes 4 Washington report, that
Lake Assal has an immense supply Of
good salt and holds out very exceptional
prospects to capitalists. A concession
has already been granted for the ex-
p1oitation of the salt. =. -.
Lake Assal is small body Of very salt
water lying seven or eight miles inland
from the bay Of Tadjoura, one of the
French possessions in East Africa. It
comprises only about 16 square miles.
1t is surrounded by q wonderful con-
fusion of jagged mountains, descending
to the waters edge so that it is almost
impossible to Gravel around. it. It's wa
tiers are salt to the point Of saturation,
and at its lowest level there is seen
upon it's bank layer of nearly pure salt
over foot thick. 49, :
For years nobody knew whence it do
rived it's water. The few men who Wis
tied it could not ascertain that any
stream flows into, it, It was thought
that the lake probably had subterranean
aftluents, but this theory was not dem
onstrated. =.
|. The mystery of Lake Assal was solved
in 1885 by the French. explorer, Henry
Audon. He carefully examined the.
shores, though he found it very difficult.
His hard work was at last rewarded by
the murmur Of a waterfall.
Guided by the sound he approached
the spot, and the solution of the enigma.
was before him. He found a large brook
OF crystalline water foaming over the
stones and throwing itself impetuously
into the lake. He tasted the water, and
found it as salt as the ocean, of which
indeed 1t had been a part.
Lake Assal lies considerably below
the surface of the sea- 1t has been ascer-
tanned that the water that pours into it
comes from three brooks which flow
from the Gubbet ell Karab, little bay
at the extreme western end of the bay
Of Tadjoura.
The waters of the Indian ocean are
carried inland to fill this depression in
the Interior, and when they reach Lake
Assal they are about 400 feet below the
level of the sea. From time to time the
salt has been carried by caravans as far
inland as Menelik's capital.
Perhaps there are only two other in
stances known of water flowing inland
through brooks from the sea. Both
these brooks are in the island of Cepha-
lonia, fn<the 1onian sea, west of Greece.
They are on the southwest side ofthe
Island, near the small town and port
OF Argostoli. For little way they flow
near one another straight from the sea.
and then follow different courses. Both
streams finally disappear in the ground,
probably reach ing some subterranean
reservoir whose waters perhaps again
reach the sea through assures in the
rocks 49,
There is no tide in the sea here. and
the flow Of the salt water streams IL
perfectly steady and continuous.
