A Pleasant Surprise.

The congregation Of st. Stephen
church, assisted, by her friends OF
the town, rasied purse Of sll3 IS,
and presented to Mrs. J G. Graichen,
as a token of the love they bare her
and appreciation OF ber noble Efforts
in behalf of church wo K. This sum
was given to defrsy her expenses TO
her old home in Iowa and return. It
came as q great surprise to her as the
first Information SIZE bad of the gift
was when che received a check for
that amount through the post cfice.
Mrs. Emma Grsichen, and her
daughter, Miss Ernestine, left Monday
for visit to the girlhood home OF the
former in Iowa. This is the first
visit to her mother that Mrs. Gralchen
has made since she left the parental
roof as a happy young bride.

Two Robberies.

There was ripple of excitement
in our town last Thursday when it
became noised about the streets that
the home of Mr.. Fl. L. Oswald had
been entered by burglars the pre-
vious night and gold watch and
cash to the amount of about $40
taken from his sleeping apartments,
wh,le he and family were asleep.
Following this report came another
that some one had stolen three
watches, dismond ring, necklace
and perhaps several other articles OF
jewelry from the room OF Mrs. Lizzie
Boozer at the Drafts Hotel. Mrs.
Boozer is not certain as to the time
thsse articles were taken, but she
missed them on Thursday morning.
The robberies have been placed in
the hands of Constable P. II. Cor!ey,
and he is now at work on the case.

lor the loose style. White braids
either plain or with touch of gold
in them will be used for trimming
and in some cases a velvet collar and
cuffs of colored material will be ad,
ded to give touch OF brilliancy.
For more servicable wear medium
or dark colors, either plain or in
checks or stripes will be used exten.
sively. Particularly small checks
will be in great demand, in light and
delicate materials of the thinnest sub.
stance, as well as in heavier tailor's
woolens. Then there will be soft
cheviots, chiffon cloths, siciliennes,
and various silks and cloths. Madras
and linen, not to forget batiste and
kindred materials, will also be ex
tremely popular.
The fact that short walking skirts
will be worn great deal will not be
without influence upon the styles Of
footwear. That is perfectly natural
If the skirts are short and a display
of the shoes cannot well be avoided,
care must be taken to make the foot
wear as attractive and neat as posi-
BILE. 1t would never do to wear a
pair of unsightly shoes or slippers
with a pretty walking suit. 1t would
completely spoil the general effect
Patent leather Shoes, with the upper
part of material corresponding in col
or, IL not in texture, with the material
of which the suit is made, will be
extremely fashionable. The style
will, undoubtedly be quite becoming
to many women and add considerable
to the smartness of the general eff
feet, but not every woman will find
it advisable to follow that fashion,
Shoes of white or light-colored ma,
terial may be very becoming to wom
en- with small and woll-shaped feet,
but women who are compelled to wear
shoes larger than No, should not
try the experiment of wearing light
colored shoes. Their feet will look
twice as big as they would in black
shoes. The shoes to be worn with
walking suits should be of a substan
tial character and equipped with
stout and serviceable soles. Slippers
do not go well with such suits.
Among the many new or seml-new
materials for summer wear that have
come out this year and are shown
in the shops are some fine weaves OF
grass linen, which are remarkably
silk-like and lustrious. They wash
well, stand considerable wear and
will undoubtedly be quite popular.
The material is not very expensive

Another new and very handsome

tracted considerable attention by It's
charming and harmonious effect
Black gowns will not be worn much
this summer. For young or middle
aged women, dresses of very thin
black material are quite becoming
especially II white lace Is used for
the yoke and the sleeve puffs. Per-
sian embroidery and black velvet ap
plique also look well with such ma
terial. The dress should be made
quite full and over black lining. There
is nothing more unbecoming and vul
gar than one of those diaphanous
dresses in black over a white or light
colored foundation.
If anyone doubts that the wave OF
extravaganza which characterizes
women's fashions this season extends
beyond the gowns, waists, Jackets
hats and other outside garments and
has actually reached the mysterious
regions of the invisible part of a
woman's outfit, let him go to one of
the fashionable shops and gaze In
admiration at the display of petit
coats. Some of these garments are
more elaborate and more extrava.
gantly trimmed with all kinds Of
,, costly materials than a great many
gowns and their cost runs into the
hundreds of dollars. There is scarce
| ly any rich and beautiful material
used for dress wear that is not also
used for petticoats. Velvets and
jewelled passementerries are proba,
bly, the only exceptions. There are
petticoats of silk and satin, OF bro.
cades, India linens, silk muslins, the
most delicate batiste, the thinnest
lawns and trimmed with all kinds of
laces and the most exquisite needle;
work. OF course, not all petticoats
are so extravigantly elaborate or OF
such costly materials, but it may be
said that even the palmer lingerie
petticoats of the present season are
far more elaborate than ever before.
Embroideries and lace insertions or
trimmings are used to a great ex
tene. The excuse given for this re-
markable extravaganza is that the
shortness of the outer skirts now in
vogue makes IL necessary to pay
more attention to the appearance of
the petticoats and compells the WON.

NEW YORK FASHION LETTER

ly. The growing tendency in favor OF
outdoor sports and exercise has done
more than anything else to develop
the possibilities of walking skirts and
suits. There was time when walk
ing skirts were worn by business
women only and even by them only
for practical reasons and when It was
absolutely necessary. The walking
skirt at that time served only a prac
tical purpose and there seemed to be
no demand for softening the severity
Of the stiff and simple lines. All that
has changed. The value of the walk.

recognized, its practical advantages
are more thoroughly understood and
at the came time the women are be-
ginning to appreciate the fact that
the walking skirt may be made dressy
handsome, attractive and even lux.
urious, without the necessity of cur
failing any of the essential features
which make that kind of skirt so
eminently practical for walking and
outdoor sports.
Walking skirts no longer offend the
artistic taste by the ultra plainness
and severity of their lines, no longer
do they confine themselves to the
fullfllment of a practical duty. In
accordance with the general drift Of
fashion toward a greater elaboration
and orramentation the walking skirt
has developed into a garment as use,
ful as ornamental. At the present
day there is scarcely a material used
for any other kind of dress that is
not also used, at least to some ex-
tent for walking skirts
There was a time when only the
darkest colors or black were consid
cred appropriate for walking suits.
That limitation no longer holds good
Even white will be worn for walking
suits this season, especially in serge
and mohair. The Bton model will
be the favorite either the tight-fitting

In most cases the upper part OF the
petticoats, between the waist and the
knees. is rather plain and simple
The petticcats must At snugly down

must not be encountered with trim
mings that might destroy the tight
ness of the At. The lower part, CON

for the simplicity of the upper part.
There the wearer's fancy and extrav'

petticoats are so arranged that the
lower part is attached to the upper
part by means of hooks or buttons
and can be taken off and exchanged
for another lower part.
1t is quite remarkable that the
war in the Far East has not influenced
fashion this year more than 1t has,

decide, but the fact remains that
while in former years every war
caused perfect wave of military
styles to sweep through the realm oi
feminine fashions, the present was
has scarcely caused ripple. 1t is
true, a mild interest in military
styles of coats and dress trimmings
has been revived, but that is about
all. excepting perhaps two novelties
in hats, that may be attributed to
the war. There are two new styles in
rough straws, called gunboats and
torpedoe. However, these hat, not
withstanding their warlike names
scarcely suggest any military style
and are not even original enough tc
be odd. The handsomest of these
hats have trimmings of narrow velvet
and steel buckles. Some of them are
shaped of tulle and ribbons and are
decorated with paradise plume In
front or on the left side.
