made up over white Innings and then has
heavy white applique work upon it, either
lace or heavy embroidery, put on in ara
besques or circles or in some figured design,

taste is displayed in the pattern.
The skirts are extremely smart and
show off the style of work to perfection.
The straight lines and breadths that were
SO ugly In the early part of the season are
rapidly being done away with, and the
skirt that is almost circular in shape, with
some fullness directly in the back and a
tremendous fare around the foot. is the
smartest one imaginable.
This is the skirt that has given rise to
so much talk about crinOline. Unless we'll
cut it would not look well without being
held out by some artificial contrivance-not
necessarily crinoline, but wires, cords or
stiffening. When well cut it hangs out of
itself, whether II Is circular many gored

10 MANY different gowns are re-
quired for the summer outfit that it
would seem at first glance as though
- 1t were impossible to have much of
any variety. as the materials used in
the construction OF one and all must needs
be the same. But the inventive power of
the modern couturiere is apparently I'M
limited. and week after week-indeed, al
most day after day-are new designs given
to the public.
Most attractive OF all this seasons fash
ions are the gowns intended for indoor
wear in summer. There is naturally not
30 much distinction between the indoor
and outdoor gowns for summer as for win
ter. for the same attractive costume that
ls suitable for a garden party is appropriate
In the house as well. and, indeed 1t re-
qures the eye of an expert to tell which is
intended for indoor or outdoor wear. The
rather over elaborate styles are especially
in demand, and If the material has not
lot of patterns and designs in ii, then II
must needs be given by embroidery or lace
that Is inserted appliqued on it; so that
either a great deal of money or great
deal of time-generally both-Inut be en-
ployed in gaining the desired result.

WAISTS AMONG ATTRACTIVE PARIS

with lace these bodices are most attractive.
In solid shades. as well as in stripes and
plaids. this silk is to be obtained. II sim
ply made, a habutai silk waist may Re
washed an indefinite number OF times, so
that 1t Is good plan to have one or two
rather plain waists for the unusually warm
days.
White China silk waists are worn TO a
great extent with white and maise taffetl
and serge suits, for with silk lawn waist
never seems appropriate. These waists un-
less almost plain-that is, trimmed only
with few tucks plaits-nust be trim
med by hand. The embroidery should be
hand work. and the lace whenever used
must be inserted only by hand. There
are So many astonishingly well-fitting silk
waists to be had ready made for almost
nothing that when one wants really smart
and expensive waist all possible pains must
be taken so that il shall bear no resen-
.blance to the article to be picked up among
many others, all Of the same design, on
bargain counter.
Like everything else, when one has the
money to pay for an elaborate and attrac-
tive bodice. 1t Is well worth while to buy
the best procurable, and. as said above.
when only hand work is fashionable the
expense Is justified IL one is following out
the latest dictates of Dame Fashion.

The lingerie waist is one of the most ex-

but al the same time it is useful and or

ed and lace-trmmed bodice is the nearest
approach to the old shirt waist. for the
separate waists that are permissible on
rare occasions only for the afternoon are of
sucn expensive materials and SO elabo-
rately made that none would dare think of
them in connection with the one-time fash
ionable simple tailor waist.
The lingerie waist is indeed thing of
beauty-made from the finest of batiste or
handkerchief linen and SO deliberately en-
brodered that frequently little is to be seen
of the material itself. while woven about
the pattern are pretty designs worked in
Insertions OF real Valenciennes While

Many OF the lingerie waists are made
with deep lace yokes, below which falls the
embroidered material. blousing slightly over
the girdle- Whether or not there is a de-
cided yoke at any rate there is generally
collar and a little vest of lace. All lin
gerie waists, no matter what the style,
fasten at the back with small lace but
tons hidden under band of embroidery.
Sleeves must be larger than ever, but as
all fullness is above the elbow these sleeves
have deep cuff, either of lace or of lace

The Fashionable Japanese Girl.
From Leslle's Weekly


There were not many japanese women at
the party which made me wonder consid-
ering the fact that there were hundreds of
men present. but perhaps the absence of the
many might be explained by the uncomfor-
table and self-conscious air of the few who
were there in most unaccustomed foreign
finery Not that they wore 1t so badly. Not
at all. OF course. there are no Japa-
nese girls with Gibson figures OF lis
som grace and 9th avenue strides of
splendid freedom. but the same thing may
be said OF many other women In many
other climes. Everybody cannot be an
American girl. you know. and I declare
think the japanese girl runs some Of her

Are Six Babies Enoughp

President Roosevelt has Indicated the

Gus letters of congratulation to fathers and
mothers OF twelve. sixteen. twenty children
and upward and the public mind was
reaching sort OF f1xity and finality on the
vexed subject. Now comes Mrs Arthur M
Dodge. president of New York's Federation
of Day Nurses, with new dictum which
upsets everything. She declares the abso-
lutte limit of woman's capacity for tax
Ing care of babies u eight. and she ought
meyer to have more than six." This has SO
much the sound OF a challenge aimed at the
head apostle Of multitudinosity that 1t be-
comes all lesser authorities TO keep out OF
the fight Some have claimed that Mrs.
Dodge meant to say merely that six babies
are as many as one nurse can care for. but
that doesn't Affect her declaration at all.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
A recent bulletin of the Massachusetts
labor bureau shows that In Harvard. often
called "a rich mans college," nearly ten

eleven per cent OF the young women are the
children OF people cfassed by statisticiana
as wage-earners. In Boston University.
the largest Methodist Institution of New
England, over 30 per cent OF the students

more remarkable This Is devoted entirely

A Busy Place.

The tobacco packery of Taussig &
Co., in the wainwright building on
Avenue A, is very busy place these
days, and is we'll worth visit. The
business people and the planters
should call, and see something they
never dreamed of for this section. A
large force is engaged in handling the
tobacco crop grown in this section un-
der government supervision, and
there is now in process of curing and
preparing for market several thou
sand pounds of tobacco-wrapper and
filters. The modus operandi is inter-
esting. AT present the hulk OF the
crop is stacked, covered with wool
blankets and going through the sweat
ing process. By the first of the month
the sorting and grading will begin.
Then the service of a number of
women and girls will be needed.
The building is provided with steam
pipes for keeping the room at even
temperature, and steam pipes provide
steam to keep the atmosphere humid.
This tobacco will be baled in exact
style as the Cuban product, and will
be offered to the cigar makers, and
tested in every way as to its quality
and flavor. Mr.. Hinson, the govern
mcnt tobacco expert, expresses great
confidence in the outcome, and thinks
the future for tobacco in this section is
great. He says the crop SO far is very
satisfactory.

Ada, !, T., Dec. 21.-One of the
coming cities of the northeast portion
of the Chickasaw nation is Ada, To-

five years old and has a population

ton. On the cross road was a store
and p%ostofice managed by w. j. Reed.
In naming the post office, Mr.. Reed
settled upon the name of his Oldest
daughter, Ada. As soon as the FRS
co built through the country the old
town was abandoned and the govern
ment established a townsite south of
the depot. Settlers arrived and bus
mess was brisk. Deeds were issued
and the vacant lots were sold at their
appraised value. SO confident were
some people of Ada becoming a large
and important city that resident lots,
