OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Fashion ROibleS, Vacation YOtaries
and News Notes and Notions
From a Great City.

'S'N NhS usual Ualt OF Calamltles,
overworked the fire and police dc.
partmentsi the druggists, doctors
and hospitals. Good thing we cele
brate only once year.
Everybody who sees vacation
ahead is getting ready for 1t
Which reminds me, that Summer
sojourners at all points often Ian
guish for something 10 read. They
should get into communication with
the International News Company,
of S3 Dunno street, this city to re-
medy such deficiency. This firm
has for years and years been
an institution o world wide
importance to the reading public.
keeping them up TO date in every
direction of art, science, amuse-
ment, labor or literature. The best
periodical contributions of all think
ing and writing nations find haven
here; and you can get every maga
zine OF any note in the worldtheir
through mediumship. BY the way,
the July number Of the Strand is par
ticularly meaty, perhaps the choicest
cut being the continuation Of Max
Pemberton's fascinating story 'T.a-
fayette," which began in April.
The Strand costs only 10 cents each
issue but is worth many dollars to
its possessor.
The tocsin of extreme simpli-
city of outline is being sounded far
and wide f1r fall. The five-gored
skirt with q double and triple box
plaits will be worn for Autumn and
Winter. The plaits are stitched to
the termination of the corset, bu /
the edges do not touch, as formerly.
The newest linen skirts have a row
of buttons and buttonholes down
the centre OF the front.
Feather and briar stitching are
noted on children's clothes, but
for the moment herring bone stitch
ing is obsolete. White is almost
universally worn by smartly dressed
children. 1t may be varied by blue
and tan linen, pin dotted mulls or
muslins.
Gardenia, camellia, geranium and
tomatoe reds are fashionable. Rob
Roy plaids in Alice blue and cream,
magenta and white, are very chic.
They are made up with box-plaited
skirt and surpliced blouse with
round chemisette and tight, long
sleevelets Of ValeDciennes lace and
fine white batiste, with Mechiin in
sertions.
Long and short coats will be
equally fashionable, each lady Sc
lecting what best becomes her. The
longest ones reach to the knees; the
shortest ones barely to the top of
the belt. Belts do not appear upon
coats; double breasted effects how
ever, are almost universal.
A lady reader of this paper wrote
me, not long ago that she knew of
several other ladies who had read
an alluslon | made in letter some
time ago, 20 preparation for re
moving superauous hair; but they
were afraid 10 write to me, lest |
might reply to them publicly. To
all such hesitating ones, let me say
right here, that / would not, under
any circumstances, do so. Every
letter ] receive on that subject is
read only by myself and answered
only by myself. ! respect this pa
per too highly and consider my
readers feelings too much to do
otherwise So, anyone who wants
to learn more about this most ex.
cel'ent preparation, can write me in
all confidence, feeling that her let
ter will be sacred to me.
Beautiful white wash belts cost
ten cents upward, 50 one can have
as many as needful for very little
outlay. They laundry we'll. Upon
no form OF belt is a rhinestone buc-
kie in good taste Upon the high
priced white belts most beautiful
pearl buckles appear For evening
wear crushed tinsel velvet buckles
are the smartest thing out.
Taheta silk, with pin stripes and
pompadour rose patterns between
stripes, is worn by up to date
women.
Most all evening gowns prepared
for bridal trousseaux are accom-
panied by guimpcs or chemisetlos
OF lace, which adapt them to day
wear.
Smart bathing suits are made Of
black, red and blue mohair.

we're ten years ago.
