Latest Trimmings for Ball Costumes.

The latest motion" in Paris as regards
ball dress trimmings are garlands of tiny
roses made of silk, muslin and tulle. They
differ from the fiat incrustations of flowers
we have hitherto seen, as they are mounted
on stems with leaves of the tenderest green
and hang in loose garlands with a charm
ingly natural effect. They are made in
every imaginable faint tone-blue, mauve
rose or carmine-and sometimes the colors
are blended together on the same dress
with very dainty and original results. Such
trimmings are excellent for ball dresses
as they are less fragile than the ordinary
artificial flowers, which, being mounted
on wires, look hopelessly broken and la
mentable after waltz or two, whereas
these soft garlands of silky roses suffer no
more than the dress they adorn.

In Pale Pink and Green.

An organdy showing pale pink and green
figures on a greenish white ground was
made with innumerable accordion pleated
ruffies, finished with single rows of green
ribbon, which toned into the deeper green
of the pattern.
The blouse was trimmed simply with
shirrings to simulate a bolero. The three
quarter sleeves were shirred, with a finish
or accordion pleated ruffies to match those
on the skirt. Below this sleeve fell
triple-flounce half sleeve of oriental lace.
and q jabot of the same lace was attached
to the shirred collar, falling nearly to the
waist line.
In summer, lace should not furnish a
glaring contrast with the gown, but should
blend with it. and If combined with dark
colors is should be in the form of vest,

When cane-seated chairs become shabby
and the elasticity is gone out Of them they
may be restored by turning up the seat and
washing the cane work with hot water and
a sponge till it is thoroughly soaked. If the

the regatta For some time Mayor
lSurprenant has been In correspondence
with the commander Of the Esquimalt

what he can to have the request Of
the mayor granted. British marines
are absolutely free when they set foot

Of the situation is the only one that
gives cause for any uneaslness. The
commander writes to ask what assur-
ance will be afforded the department
that the men will all return to the
vessel, and the mayor has assured
him that any OF the marines who may
be arrested will be Immediately re-
turned to the ship. and not thrown into
prison. Mayor surprenant said last
night he was confident British vessel

one Of H. r. MS men-of-war would
be a great attraction during regatta
week. and the hope is generally ex-
pressed that Mayor surprenant's eff

Washington D. c.. Sept. II,I9o4.-
According to the New York papers,
Senator Henry 6. Davis is not III that
city to talk politics. His attention,
however, was ldrawn to the report
that the Standard Oil company had
ordered a general suspension of work
in West Virginia and directed the
transfer of all its employees in their
plants in that State to either centers
The report said that Standard Oil peo-
pie were hostile to Roosevelt's inter
ests. and knowing that most of their
employees in West Virginia were Re-
publ,cans, had ordered their removal
to other States.
Mr.. Davis ridiculed the story.
1T is true" he said, "that the
Standard Oil Company employs sew
eral thousand men in West Virginia,
but aslto asserting that the company
intends to remove these men to other
States, all l have to say is that l
would be just as sorry as the Repub-
lican leaders to have those men taken
out OF West Virginia. Among those
men there are as many Democrats as

would the total number of these
employees reach %, 900, as has been

Eyes. | should say the total would
reach a much higher fgure-probably
$4,000"
There was story going the rounds
last night in regard to the probable
campaign con ribution of the Vice

that Chairman Taggart had suggest
