Quite one of the latest things to save
women from the fretting and worrying
attendant upon being caught in a
shower of rain with a new hat is told
by an English visitor to Vienna. He
says that the Great park, that favorite
resort of the Viennese fashionable
world, was one day recently crowded
with gayly dressed promenaders in
their loveliest spring attire when the
unexpected deluge suddenly descended,
with disastrous results to all except a
party of four ladies, who nevertheless
had borne the brunt of the storm like
every one else.
Removing their dripping hats and
simply giving them a gentle shaking,
these ladies then resumed their head
gear, whereupon the flowers appeared
even fresher- and more lifelike than ever.
They were the invention of a beneficent
Austrian genius who deserves the UNI
dying gratitude of the feminine world
for his discovery that celluloid pre-
pared in a special way provides a mate
rial out of which the most delicate arti
fetal flowers of every kind can be
made, flowers, that are not only almost
indistinguishable from natures handi-
work, but are absolutely uninjured by,
the heaviest downpour of rain.

in looking around smart assemblage
in the afternoon this particular dress is
decidedly found wanting" The fas-
tfdious Partisan woman does not con-
slider the taffeta costume her style and
the long shouldered and much befrilled
era to which this dress belongs has
wearied her SO that she wifi have none
of it or of the 1880 bonnet. This same
lady is, however, practical in her
whims, and in some occult fashion has
discovered that the ordinary book mus
lin, sold for a song, has when washed
the appearance of expensive linen lawn.
Consequently toilets in this muslin are
being created by the score
Speaking of sweet simplicity, there is
a most attractive Indian dimity which
will prove irresistible to summer femi-
ninity. This fabric has better wearing
qualities than muslin and is softer and
more adaptable than linen. A gown of
Indian dimity I really coveted was of
white sprigged with small green and
pink flowers, the skirts made in three
tiers, headed with bands of white lawn
embroidered in green and pink French
dots of rather generous size. The waist

just the right kind of trimming for
these picture affairs. Muslin shady
hats are much worn by young girls
this summer. and when the daughter
of the house coaxes the long suffering
father of the family to let her have a
wash hat the poor, deluded creature
consents and thinks that for once the
milliners have Joined forces with him,
and ignorance is bliss until the bill is

colored ribbon tied in front in a Char

the linen dress.
Another innovation developed here is
the wearing of large hats with short
skirts, practice hitherto tabooed by
women ''in the know" AS to the hats
of the moment, they present as many
different aspects as the chameleon, but
the fiat has gone forth that with the
white costume a colored chapeau is de
rigueur. This certainly gives to a white
-oilet more individuality than a hat of
ne same genre. A woman may wear

has been introduced to assist the
chronicler in his descriptions. Very

ARTS, July Paris, as every
one knows, has the reputation
of being the most beautiful
city in the world During the
last few days the Vile Lumiere has
more than lived up to her renown. In
fact, every nook and corner of the gay
capital has been a mass of blooming
flowers, every householder competing
for the prize given by a society called
LIE Nouveau Paris, which for two years
has held a fiowery competition for the
best decorations of windows and ball
comics. Paris is singularly adapted for
such floral decorations, owing to the
ornamental facades of the houses and
the many balconies, which If adorned
with plants and flowers would trans
form monotonous streets into veritable
gardens Of loneliness
This competition not only helps Paris
to uphold her enviable reputation, but
encourages culture of flowers among
the masses. The first prize, which con-
sisted of an exquisite Sevres vase pre-
scented by the minister of public in
structiOn. was won by a citizen living
in the Rue du Temple. whose terraces
and balconies were gorgeously deco

was ideal. and early and late the Av-
enue des Acacias was blocked with
carriages, many of them beautifully
decorated with blossoms. The prix
dhonneur was given to an automobile
arranged to resemble a swan.
This summer the flower show was

But perhaps the special attraction to
Partisan eyes was the charmingly ar
ranged dinner tables. The daintiest in
this line was a wedding breakfast table
which presented a mass of white or
chids, white carnations and orange
blossoms mingled with feathery aspar-
agus and smilax arranged in cut glass
bowls and slim vases.
Paris can also give the sartorial

BACK FROM THE 1srHMus.
Capt. Cassidy Cooks Impressions on
His Recent Trim.

Capt Cassidy Cook OF this city. who was
guest of the congressional committee
which recently visited the Panama canal
zone. has returned from Colon via New
Orleans, his complexion showing the rudy
brown effect OF the tropical climate.
To a Star representative Captain Cook
said:
'The canal commissions engineer and
sanitary corps are doing splendid work.
Chief Engineer Wallace and DR.. William
C. Gorgas are the right men in the right
places. Surveys and the preparation of esti-
mates of the proposed canal are progressing
rapidly. Colon and Panama are being
thoroughly cleansed of the accumulated
filth of generations. Heretofore myriads of
carrion buzzards alone cleaned these cities
of house offal. The birds were an economi-
cal though insufficient health and street
cleaning service.
Secretary Taft's reception was most
cordial. Panama was profusely bedecked
with the United States and Panaman flags,
President Amador apparently thought a
squadron of warships on one end of his
infant republic, two cruisers and two trans
ports the other and four hundred ma
rines stationed in the middle, was OVERRIDING
the protectorate business. II he feared
covetous designs on our part they were
speedily dispelled by Secretary Tafts con-
ference. Perfect confidence in the good
the Panamans. The newly executed treaty
assures them practically all they wanted
in customs and tariff-their only serious
problems.
mo American ought at present go to the
isthmus seeking work or investment or
capital. There is no opportunity for either.
Only canal commission service justifies our
people in going there. Board and lodging
are bad and costly. Our employees are
worked overtime, and their wages permit
but small savings. The climate is humid
and insidious. Until the complete SANTA
ton of the two cities and zone climatic
fevers are to be feared.
THE enormous waste of locomotives,
dredges cranes and machinery, rusted and
strewn all along the canal route, suggests
that if much of our forty millions was
paid for this absolutely worthless property
Uncle Sam was badly buncoed."
Captain Cook paid high tribute to the ex-
cellence of the army transport service, the
perfect discipline and the wholesome fare,
and heartily shared the gratitude all the
congressional party felt for the comfort
and courtesies they enjoyed on the army
transport Sumner, which took the commit
tee to Colon and returning to New Orleans.

Supplies for Lighthouses.

The lighthouse tender Maple, Capt. Almy,
the largest tender on this station, has left
the lighthouse service station, near Balti-
more. with a big supply of groceries and
provisions and other stores aboard. She
will visit the lighthouses in Chesapeake bay
as far down as Point Lookout, and will
come up to the isolated lights on the lower
Potomac, supplying them with provisions
sufficient to last through the winter
Many of these lights are over five
miles from the mainland, and entirely de-
pendent on the vessels of the lighthouse
service for their food supplies.

the fact that millions of dollars worth of
