it is to be seen in all the very latest
models. The very wide flouncings can
be used to make the entire skirt; the
medium width for two or three founces,
as desired. An extremely pretty effect
is given by having the skirt made up
entirely of narrow ruffies of embroidery
from the belt to the hem, these sewed
on we'll cut and good hanging foun-
dation.
The heavier linens are not good for
this style of gown. Linen lawn should
be chosen when so many ruffies are
used, and, in fact. under the name Of
linen are now included all the thin ma
terials that are made up into summer
gowns of all kinds. 1t always adds
to the beauty of an embroidered f1ounce
or flounces when the edge is finished
with scallops to have a ruffie of lace
that shows below the scallops. This
lace can be from half an inch to two
inches wide, and Valenciennes is the
most effective
1t need not be the most expensive
kind of lace, provided the pattern is
open and effective, but nothing inn
proves embroidery so much and at the
same time makes a gown look more
light and airy than ruffie of lace
showing under the edge of embroidery.
Fortunately this season there are so
many different grades of lace to choose
from that it is possible to get very
good imitation at comparatively little
expense.
Colored linens are becoming more
fashionable all the time, and the coll
ored linen coats and skirts are charm
ing. AS a rule they are not embroid-
cred, but are trimmed with facings of
plain linen or pique, as the case may
be- The mauve linens are especially in
demand, although it is well known that
mauve and heliotrope are sure to fade
after a short time. The color, however,
is so cool and becoming, and the white
in the blouse or the facings of the
jacket is so effective that the fashion
is bound to be popular even for short
time.
In the very sheer embroidered linens
the pale blues and pinks, the grays and
the light tans are very smart, and the
embroidery is, of course, of the finest.
Among these gowns are ranked those
made of batiste. Conservative people
are not. however, very much in favor
of the colored linens. They should be
included in any complete wardrobe, as
they are exquisite in coloring and tex
ture; but 1t is claimed that all the
color that is necessary can easily be
obtained in the Innings of different
colors over which white can be worn,
or in the colored girdles and sashes
that are a very necessary part of the
finish of any effective gown this sum
mer. The princesse silk slips that are
part and parcel of every modern OUTFIT
make this change of color feasible, and
if silk is not desired then lawn answers
the purpose equally well, so far as re-
CARDS color and, of course. the effect is
rather lighter.

case which may be used either at home
or in travelling for holding sponges, wet
brushes. cloths. etc. 1t is made of
striped Dresden chintz of quite heavy
quality and is lined throughout with
rubber, so that the toilet articles may
be put in directly after using while one
is travelling. The case has two square
pockets at the bottom for hair brush,
handleless flesh brush, sponge or wash
rag. Above this there is long pocket
stretching across the entire bag and
opening at about three-fourths of the
distance across. Instead OF the open

r. VERY one has among the unmade
r odds and ends in the attic or
store room for which a use is
expected to be found some day num-
ber of pieces of cotton goods which
have been left over from summer
dresses or the curtaining and uphols-
tering of summer parlors or bedrooms.
They are not so valuable as the pieces
of silk and velvet from which sofa
pillows, hand bags and numerous dain-
ty costume accessories may be made.
nor is 1t of much use to keep them
to mend the gown or curtain of which
they have been a part, because cotton
things are not expected to last many
seasons in the first place, and in the
second because making them over with
new goods to help out is usually i'm
possible as the difference caused by
fading is too apparent. Still, the
pieces accumulate and the patterns are
so pretty and the coloring so fetching
that one treasures them long after the
costumes which they match have gone
into the rag bag.
1t is possible If one has time to sew,
to make the most attractive toilet bags
and cases of these pieces. One can
create ones entire outlay of Christmas
gifts from them with a very small ex-
penditure of money. For many pur-
poses they are far more appropriate
than silk.
In this season of lowered organdies
and embroidered batistes for gowns
and fowered chintzes and cretonnes
for bedroom furnishings the pieces of
cotton goods available in most houses
are particularly suited to the purpose.
1t seems odd to speak of making
Christmas gifts now, and yet If one is
to make a large number Of gifts there
will be very little time to spare in the
crowded winter season, and it's very
wise thing to devote some Of the long
summer days when it's too hot to do
anything but sit on the veranda and
sew to this purpose.
One of the most useful articles of
this nature. which will be greatly APP
preciated as gift or will be Of much
use in your own boudoir or trunk, is a

DENOUNCE|TA AS FOLLY
RUSSIAN OFFICERS VIEWS ON
SURRENDER OF PORT ARTHUR.
FORTS TORN TO PIECES.
The Fire of the Japanese 1t-lnoh Guns
Was So Effective that Dozens of
Russian Cannon Were Smashed
and Hurled from Carriages.

Nagasaki. Jan. 1S.-The French
steamer Australien sailed last even
ing for Marseilles, having on board
Gen. Stoessel and his wife and 565
Russians.
London. Jan. 1S.-The correspond
ent at Nagasaki of the Express had an
interview with Gen. Stoessel in which
the general said:
"The capitulation occurring on New
Years day was merely coincidence.
The loss of 203-Metre Hill and the
subsequent capture of forts, COM
bined with the deadly craftsmanship
with the terrible 11-inch shells, the
depressing effect of the death of Gen.
Kondratenko and the fearful increase
of scurvy really fixed the time of capt.
ulation. 1t is untrue that | dissented
from the unanimous decision of the
final council of war. Our final urgent
request for relief was never an
swered."
The correspondent adds that con-
versation with other Russian officers
reveals great bitterness against and
denunciatons of Admiral Alexieff for
his failure to properly fortify Port Ar
thur and ''his cowardly flight" by the
last train from the fortress. The
junior officers denounce the folly of
the government in entering upon the
war and declare that all the men who
return to Russia from Port Arthur are
revolutionists in spirit. These opin-
ions were openly expressed in the
presence Of Gen. Stoessel.
Port Arthur, Jan. 1S.-When the
Kwantung peninsula was bisected by
the second Japanese army the entire
Russian force in the military district
of Talien, which included Port Arthur
and Dalny, was $4,000. The Russian
force at the battle of Nanshan was
1000, and 1000 of these were lost.
There have actually surrendered at
Port Arthur between 5000 and 10000
| soldiers and sailors, of whom many
were unfit for duty. The sick and
wounded number 10000. Fifty per
cent. of the officers of the garrison
were killed and only 2S per cent. went
through the siege unscathed.
The fortress could have held out for
some time longer but for the fire of
the Japanese 11-inch howitzers, which
destroyed the food depots, the work
shops and the ammunition stores and
made the repair of the defensive
works impossible.
The last news received by the gar
rison from Gen. Kuropatllin was in
the middle of October, when he said
he had done his best to break through
the Japanese lines for the purpose of
succoring Port Arthur, but that he had
not been successful
A close examination of the main
line of the defense of the west half of
the eastern fortified ridges from East
Keekwan mountain to the destroyed
| Sunshu mountain fort, where the Jap
anese infantry assaults and lombard
ments were concentrated during the
last days of the siege, demonstrated
the tremendous effectiveness of the
11-inch howitzers. The Chinese wall
on the slopes, the battery positions on
the crest of the ridge and the captured
guarding forts in the rear were lit
orally torn to pieces by the heavy
shells.

Ohio there are 27G,719 farms, en-
bracing 24,500,000 acres. More than
$1,000,0 100000 is invested in these
lands and almost $200,O00,0O0 is in
vested in farm machinery. The,
annual expenditure for labor, fer
tilizer, etc, aggregated $17,000,-
600 and the value of one years
crops is close to $2O0,OOO,O0O and the,
annual value of farm live stock about
$126, 100000.

A STORY OF BLAcKMAIL.
Trial of the Suit of John r. PIatt to
Recover $75o,ooo from a Negress.

New York, Jan. 1S.-The trial of the
suit of John R. Platt, the octogenarian
millionaire, to recover from Hannah
Elias, negress, nearly $750,000 which
he alleges she extorted from him dur
ing a period extending over more than
20 years, was begun before Justice
O'Gorman in the supreme court Tues
day.
When Mr.. Platt arose in response to
call from his counsel he appeared to
be very feeble and was assisted to q
chair in the witness stand. Guided by
questions from his COUNSEL spoken in
very loud tone, the witness told of
his first meeting with Mrs. Elias more
than 20 years ago when, as president
of the Volunteer Firemens associa-
tion he took the visiting firemen out
ito show them a good time" and re-
counted incidents which occurred dur
ing their long friendship.
Mr.. Platt told of many times when
he gave Mrs. Elias money in various
amounts to settle bills which she told
him might result in law suits If not
paid. He made these payments be-
cause he feared that if any of the
cases should get into court his name
would become involved and his rela-
tions with the woman would become
known. He had been actuated entire
ly by a desire to avoid publicity.
In answer to questions Platt said
that his relations with Mrs. Elias for
many years were most friendly and
intimate, that he never had any feel
ing against her and that he has no
such feeling now.
