women nowadays will give the neces-
sary time or trouble to the wearing OF
shawl; it is, therefore, better to have
it made up into a wrap. The lace veil

lining of soft satin could also be added
for the sake of warmth. If this be
frilled and trimmed with chiffon the
effect will be charming. The possessors
Of good lace must exercise their in
genuity in making up their valued

possibilities for a summer opera cloak.

Three hundred houses are flooded and

North OF the creek the water is rising
rapidly, and hundreds of the people are
fleeing from their houses. All the high
ways, except Capitol avenue, are closed.
A sea of water swept over the lowlands
and was being forced into the better resi-

feet deep at Illinois and Twenty-seventh

were surrounded by water before the
people realized that they were in dam
