Is it worth while to develop for

reign of the ephemera," says a
writer, AS you cast your line into
the water they dance around your
head in countless swarms. While you
have smoked pipe and made score
or so of casts the fly has crawled
from the mud, shorn itself Of the
robe which served as protection
against the moisture; 1t has danced
its love dance, its eggs in myriads
are deposited in the water and the
fly itself is dead. Some one will come
along and collect millions Of those
eggs, and you win use them for fish
ing. The corpses of the nics will
lie 50 thick upon the ground that the
husbandman might use them for a
fertilizer The eggs which escape the
vonder Of bait will turn to larvae,
which at the cad Of three years pro.

A Sermon On Summer pongee.

How can one write without singing
the praises of pongee? This year it
runs race with. taffeta. and comes out
a little ahead, one might say 1t is
worn for everything. And one can buy
ready-made pongee waists, whole pongee
shirt waist suits. lovely three-quarter
pongee coats, and the most beautiful
whole pongee dinner gowns. embroid-
cred and trimmed with silk The weights
vary from light and rather frail TO
heavy and durable
Most pongee is washable But, what
with the many cleaning preparations.
and what with the establishments for
the renovation of gowns, it is not worth
while to ask If pongee will wash. All
goods can be dry cleaned a not a very
great cost.
The popular color for pongee is the
natural shade with which everybody is
familiar. B2t. Of course, il comes In all
colors. And navy blue is lovely. AS for
white and gray, they are charming, and
always very dressy. Tan pongee Is the
least dressy of all, and it is used almost
exclusively for travelling and for street
dresses. For other occasions the vary
ing tints are employed.

pongee also enter the list of cloth ma
terials which must. as a matter of
course. include ladies' cloth, broadcloth,
and face goods of all kinds.
These old materials are made UP along
the new lines, and it can be said in their
favor that they are economical and
pretty. Stunning little eton suits are
made of cashmere, and lovely long coats
are built OF alpaca to wear with a silk
skirt underneath.
A brown cashmere gown, or a seal
brown alpaca, made with cutaway
coat and an umbrella skirt, will be one
Of the features of the fall The umbrel-
la skirt is strangely like the one worn
at the Chicago Exposition-was it thir-
teen years ago-when every woman ap-
peared In an umbrella skirt fitted to the
hips. But the skirt of today has a
little more ripple around the bottom,
ard il is trimmed with bands Or Greek
key designs, or with the broad band
Of silk or cloth generously peppered
with French knots.

Fashions Change Rapidly.

Shoulder seams are fully two inches
shorter than last year. and one is par
ticularly impressed with the puffs that
are springing up along the shoulder
lire. It was Mrs. Langtry who set the
vogue a year ago OF wearing the puff
shoulder for she appeared upon the
stage with big old-fashioned shoulder
puffs that made London gasp.
This season the Duchess OF Marl-
borough wore not only the shoulder
puffs. but a ruff1e over the puffs and
over the top of the puffs a trimming of
lace. We are only few months off
from the big shoulder puff. and the
che n,es are that with December there
will come crinoline sleeves.
Make me gown for December" or
dered a miliionairess Of her Paris dress
maker Impossible, madame" replied
he, with every courtesy. but with firm
ness IN his tone, II cannot now con-
struct a gown for December wear I

in August. then 10 put il away until
December"
The man dr. ssmaker shrugged his
shoulders: Impossible. madame" In
sisted he; 'I cannot build the gown; its
sleeves would be Gothic by December

Those who are in the know interpret
this TO mean that fashion will change
between now and December with such
rapidity that dresses that are now in
vogue will be positively archaic bv
Christmas. We are going through a
rapidly developing fashion era, and for
tunate the woman who can show her
adaptabiIity TO its changes.
A recent Paris gown was made in
three parts. The waist was a shawl

over the skirt there was a deep over

and the cuffs were long, plain. and
pointed.
The only trimming on this suit con-
sisted Of small disks of cloth. They
were cut out in varying sizes and each
disk was worked with a cross stitch
pattern. They were arranged in cart
wheel fashion. Big cartwheeI designs
trimmed the bottom of the skirt and
the shawl waist. Although it was a
French gown, the trimming was by no
means expensive. for 1t required nothing,
more than sharp scissors, plenty of in
genuity and a sufficient amount of in
dustry to work the wheels
The new colors that will prevail in
French gowns are brown and green
though one ought to mention blue,
which is used so much with green, and
gooseberry, which is used so much with
brown. It is very difficult to separate
the cofors for they are combined and
made into Cne in such artistic fashion

Her New Fancies in Fashion.

There are little fashion fancies which
must be picked up by the piazza woman
IL she Is going to be successful. There
are the picture fans, and these are very
necessary as finishings. Here are a
few OF the things which she will need:
She VIII need q gold feather set with
jeweled eyes. This is not an expensive
necessity. but one which is good with
almost any costume. She will need a
long, handsomely embroidered violet
colored strip Of satin ribbon. This she
will keep to tie around her bunch of
violets, which. by the way she will
hang from her belt. and not from her
arm.
She will need a rose cravat. which is
one Of the daintiest things of the sea-
son. 1t is built upon a foundation of
crinolkae or other material. and Is en-
tirely covered with little fat roses, not
much bigger than a nickel These are
tackled on to the fundation side by side,
until the whole cravat is covered. The
ends are then finished with yalenciennes
lace or with English eyefet embroidery.
or even with fringe
Her next fad is the glove bracelet
which is a bracelet big enough to go
over the wrist of her gloves. She will
feel old-fashioned the first time she
clasps this bracelet round her glove, but
she will realize in a few moments that
1t is the fashionable thing to wear: and
she Will wear a bracelet of gold or
silver, or made entirely OF links set
with mock jewels and the jewels will
match her gown Perhaps If she likes
TO be very fetching she VIII wear a
shoulder sash OF flowers. This is rather
youthful. but if a woman be slender 1t
can be worn very nicely with the piazza
gown. The shoulder sash is not exactly
described by its name, for 1t consists
OF chain of roses and leaves wired
together and worn in fancy style. The
sash, which begins at the shoulder. is
brought down to the belt line. where
1t is fastened in under the belt. A long
chain OF flowers hangs from the belt

a luncheon dehcacy which is famed
among epicures is the bummalo, Or as
it is usually known, Bombay duck. +"
This is imported from Glasgow and is
toasted and served cold as n relish.
Another relish which is quite new is
called maslowa and is a Russian prepa-
ration of mushrooms in a sauce, intend
ed for service with steak or cold roast.
The true epicure will delight in the tiny
dwarfed artichokes which are sold un-
der the name of "garctonni." These are
bottled and may be haIved and broiled
or served iced with HoIIandaise sauce.
Fresh caviIr is another much-coyeted
dish, partly because II Is rare. OF

have the tiny pearl onions which are

Delicious Sweets.

From these substantial dishes one may
turn to the Sweets" which are as
plentifully arranged on the counters as
are the other kinds OF food. Here are
TO be found new and delicious roll
waters for service with ice creams or
jelly desserts. Fig and apricot waters
of sugar prepared with the fruit are
also TO be had by the box, as are choeo-
late-covered biscuit, which are delight
full of flavor. Raisins stuffed with mar
zipan are sold at 81 pound. Choco-
late saucage roll is a kind of fudge filled
with almonds and rolled in silver foil.
Then there are crispettes, a thin, fiaky
sweet wafer, and chocolates filed with
cognac, at ST cents a pound-JheSe to
nil bonbon dishes on the table Al
monds in Maraschino is a new way of
serving this delicious nut, or they may
be used In cake or stuffed raisins or
dates.
Several new cordiaIs, too, are on the
market. among them creme de pekoe, a
tea" favored liqueur which will de-
light those persons who are fond of the
beverage; also creme de Mocha, which
is, as it's name suggests, d coffee cor
dial and to be commended to the epi-
cure. a new strawberry liqueur is also
TO be had, and this, too, is exceedingly
good.

The Flower and Fruit Shades.

But now il is the summer season
when the mind turns to cool gowns.
II is the season when lace pettiCoats
and lawn drop skirts are more fasci-
mating than broadcloth and alpaca. The
flower tints, the rose stamped pongees,
the embroidered casino dresses. and the
delicate afternoon gowns, are brought
out and put on with gratitude. These
must be Worn for some weeks yet, and
happy is she who has a sufficient sup
ply to carry her through the season.
The French woman in midsummer
lays In a supply Of small things with
which 10 freshen her wardrobe She
buys wide gfrdles, made OF every color
under the sun, and she purchases silk
OF the new shade of yiolene with which
to drape her hat and waist line. She
also invests in a few remnants Of other
delicate shades, including the wine
colors in which may be mentioned char
treuse, creme de menthe. and absinthe
green. And she will want some cham
pagne yellow taffeta and a remnant of
chiffon velvet the exact shade Of a
sparkling moselIe. These shades are
essentially summer shades.
With these gay coIors she can make
UP girdles which she will trim with
bQttons carefully culled from her spring
wardrobe. The buttons must match,
and If they do not match she must tint
them from her color box or cover them
with medallions which she will embroid-
er with her own hands.
The picture button, by the way, plays
as important a part In the wardrobe
as the picture hat, and Of all the picture
buttons the peacock crystal is at pres
ent the most attractive. With a gir-
die trimmed with these. and a button
or two upon her hat. the summer woman
can face any emergency OF the sum

Summer Silks Are Tempting.

There lives no woman who can walk
down the aisle Of the silk department
and not stop TO look at the goods which
are displayed upon the counters They
are lovely beyond measure. and the
marvel OF It is that they are so cheap.
For less than a dollar per yard you can
get a summer silk figured with rose
buds OF g grade W.liCn can be worn all
the year round. The silk is durable
and comes in quite q wide scale OF color,
so that you cannot fail to find some
thing TO suit your needs.
You can purchass, enough for a, gown
for a very few dollars, and then by

viii never succeed. She must adopt the
tactics of the professional, which is
that OF asking for the best and never
resting until she gets them. Out of good
materials she may evolve something
good, but she can do nothing with poor
stuff, and she must plan her color
right
The piazza woman must have little

She must have almond green, pale blue,

4 FRENCH FAD.
Dainty Corset Covers to Match the
Waist-Shirred Berthas.

In Paris, where so many dainty ideas
originate. there is a fad fer making
corset covers to match your waist. "A
pretty pink taffeta waist will be worn
with a pretty pink taffeta corset cover,
and a white waist with q white nain-
sock cover. while for the black waists
there are the daintiest Of lace and mus
liz underwaists. also n black.
The fad for having your corset cover
match your waist had its foundation IN
something very useful. The light taf-
feta waists are fraiI and apt to slit,
and they are wonderfully protected by
the underset cover. which looks pre-
ciseiy like your gown. You feel quite
independent Of occasional rents or OF
accidental gaps.' explained woman
who has a dozen coIored corset covers
to match a dozen colored waists. And
her reasoning will be perceived by any
woman who has studied the dress ques-
ton.
Laces for evening are scailoped. There
is a perfect furore for the old-fashioned
scalioped Iaees. and where the original
is not Obtainable there is a tendency TO
subterfuge.
One of the new fashion designs for
evening shows q little eton cut away III
the front, that IS wide open 10 show
satin vest. It is short. and there is q
wide girdle Of satin which holds the
eton down in the back. When desired
this girdle can be removed and - soft,
fluffy blouse can take the place of the
satin vest
The shirred chiffon berthas are very
handsome for evening wear. To make
one after the most approved french
style take enough taffeta 70 mike q
high-necked bertha. Shape il high in
the neck and about as deep as an ordi-
r.ary yoke. Finish ii nicely and hook
il invisibly down the back Now cover
this with narrow shirring. until Ihs
" hole silk bertha is concealed. Let the
sEirrings be of chiffon, exactly the color
oe the taffeta. Thus you make a very
pretty necker.

is the kind that is lowered. You get
such lovely fowered stuffs that come
for so very little compared to the price
of the same in satin, which il closely
resembles. Then there is another kind
of figured pongee, which is admirable
for handsome gowns, being more like
poplin.
One lovely pongee gown is in gray,
the color Of the Irish poplin gray. It IS
made in a whole suit, very full indeed
around the foot, and the waist part
consists OF a pretty blouse embroidered
and trimmed with piplngs of deep blue.

and interest can always be stimulated
by the discovery of q new fashion.
There are shirt waist suits this year
made of calico of the variety which
comes at considerably less than 10
cents a yard. They are very dainty,
and if one can face the laundry bills
without embarrassment they are TO
DE highly recommended for the summer
wardrobe. Calico comes in buff. brown,
blue, and pink, and. Of course, there
are cream colored ca1fcoes and g1nghams
Of cheap grade closely related to the
calico family.
Five pretty shirt waist suit patterns
are suitable for any material. One has
the blouse waist fastened inyisibly and
trimmed with little groups OF wash
crystal buttons. The skirt is many
gored and trimmed with a ripple round
the foot, with the top of the ripple
trimmed with buttoas and wash rib

Another is the surplice waist. and

materials 1t folds across the front,
and is trimmed with a shirred ribbon

Three shirt waist suits are made. re-

with skirt into which fans are intro
duced and with a skirt built plain on

All three have foot trimmings such as

be worn with q rejingote.
