. the front rather than the straight
around effect, works wonders, or the
. front breadth shaped to be much mar
rover at the waist than the hem alse
helps matters marvelously. There are,
. of course, some exceedingly slender
.. figures on which the straight lines
look WELL and the style is fashionable,
that must not be forgotten, only it
; lacks in most cases the smarter and
more becoming appearance of other
designs.
Trimming on Accordion PIeats
Accordion pleated skirts have mar
) velous hold on life, and just how many
years they have been and will be in
) style cannot be stated. They are now
much more generally becoming than
they were when the fashion first start
ed for they are shaped to the figure,
and can, in fact, be made to look well
) even on figures inclined to be stout.
. An innovation is trimming these skirts.
; Rows of tucks, with cording of satin
. in a contrasting color and a band of
entredeux, give touch Of novelty that
: is attractive, while the skirt finished
. with scalloped edges, under which
. shows ruff1e of lace or chiffon, is fas-
. cinatingly novel.
: The waists for dinner gowns, while
. cut decollete, as is the rule of the mus
lin dinner gown, are not cut nearly so
. low as the waists of the ball gowns.
In some of the models there are the
. same old fashioned square and V
. shaped necks as several seasons past
: and the elbow sleeves are obligat tory.
. In fact, all evening gowns are made
: with elbow sleeves, the straight puff
. and lace caps on the most elaborate Of
! ball gowns being the only exceptions.
: Muslin chiffon, and all the fabrics are
exceedingly attractive with these
; waists, and the elbow sleeve in putfs
. and in the shirred effects are charm
ingly becoming.
Will spangled gowns ever go entirely
,, out of fashion? For the moment they
; are considered quite out of date, and
yet in almost every summer wardrobe
there will be found one or two. So
. many of the pattern robes in the SPAN
? gled materials proved this winter to be
, defective even among the most ex-
| pensive that their popularity received
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-11

but then to be fashionably gowned in |
these days demands expense, as is
we'll understood by rich and poor alike.
The dinner gown must needs be long. |
If of some inexpensive material and
intended for informal occasions, the
short round train is consisered the |
smartest. If for elaborate functions,
then a larger train is correct although |
not so long as was demanded last sea-
son. This matter of the length of the
train deserves more consideration than |
it receives and a becoming length |
should be chosen rather than fashion
be blindly followed, for in an evening |
gown the skirt is really of more inn |
portance than the waist, whose de- |
ficiencies can be hidden under the ar
rangement of the material, trimming
and belt whereas the entire skirt must
be perfection, as it is so much in evil
dence. There is quite large difference
in the skirts this season from last
more width around the foot, and while
the close effect around the hips (this
even with shirring, pleating or tuck
ing) Is insisted upon, the material
massed into a small space at the back
gives more becoming fulness than the
straight. close, tight appearance of last

These baskets are particularly ap-
propriate for luncheons at which only
women are present. They should be
packed with wet moss in which the
flowers are stuck so that they will not
wither. For June the baskets should
be full of roses. Later when the sweet
peas are in bloom at the country
places they will make most beauti-
full basket. Then come tiger lilies,
August lilies, purple and white Glenn
ats, Queen Marguerites and scores of
other blossoms most suitable for this
purpose. A basket of pink sweet peas
with blue ribbon or one of lavender

may be used for candy or small cakes.
The upper part or lid has false bot
tom as well as a top. The top has a
piece cut out of the center large enough
to admit the passage of the stems Of
bunch of flowers, which crown the
top of the box. The space between
the top of the lid and the false bot
tom may be filled with wet cotton or
moss. The stems Of the bouquet pass
ing through the aperture in the top
of the lid, rest In this cotton or moss

the luncheon. The false bottom keeps
the moss or cotton and the flower
stems separate from the bonbons in
the bottom of the box.

This sort of place card is also made
entirely of pasteboard and is to be
had at the caterers in this style. 1t is

and second piece cut out in the

painted in the natural colors and
thrust through the slits in the straight
card after the manner of real blos-
som.

luncheon whose privilege it is at the
close of the function to appear before
admiring eyes with one of these lovely
trophies hanging on her arm. For the
floral baskets artificial flowers would
not be desirable. If one prefers to
have artihcials it is best not to select
basket favors. as they depend for their
attractiveness on their simple natural
beauty rather than on artificial eff
fectiveness.
Another floral favor however, where
one may successfully use the artificial
flowers is in the shape of floral
bundle. 1t is of conlcal shape, about
six inches high and having the diame-
ter of an ordinary sized tumbler. 1t
is made of pasteboard like a eonical
box and the top part or lid lifts off

natural flower at one end with the
border of hand painted leaves.

nothing can be more attractive than
baskets Of flowers. How delightful for
each guest to have basket of flowers

quaintest and most attractive of bas-
kets. which can be kept as souvenirs
and will prove useful for small work

baskets should have handles which

bows, and ends of the ribbon should
hang from the handles festooned with

THERE is always something most
attractive about the fashions for
summer gowns, especially those in
tended for afternoon and evening wear.
The bright colors, the trimmings of
lace embroidery and ribbon all are in
keeping with the blue skirts, green
grass and bright summer weather, and
there is certainly a freshness and
picturesqueness quite incompatible
with the winter styles and colorings.
Everything this season is in bright
exception, and even for street and
travelling wear the lightest possible
effects are considered the smartest.
Almost too vivid to be becoming are
many of the shades that are popular.
Such bright pinks, blues and green's.
reds and yellows are almost too crude
for our ultra sensitive taste or sane
ton without reserve, while white Of
almost bizarre contrast is another Of
the salient points to be noted.
Light, transparent materials are in
universal demand, but at the same
time heavier fabrics, such as voile and
silk, are also popular. The most trans
parent fabrics, both in plain and fig
ured designs, are made up over lawn
or silk, while the other heavier fab
RIGS also demand a silk lining. The
f1owered muslins are to be found in all
colors and at all prices from the very
expensive silk muslins to the marvel
ously cheap organdies, that can be
bought for mere trifie, if last years
designs are chosen. The large flowers
seem for the moment to be the favor
lite design, although it must be admit
ted that the smartest gowns are made
of the plain, and most elaborateiy
trimmed with bands of lace or en-
broidery in entredeuX, or embroidery
in the material itself.
yellow, Pink and Blue
The expensiveness of most of these
gowns is prohibitory to the majority
of individuals who have to stop and
count the cost of two or three such
fascinating models at 5000 or $500
piece, but there are cheaper to be had,
and for the fortunate ones who can
buy what they wish without being
bothered by the inroads on their bank
accounts, this summer will be noted
as the summer when the prettiest Of
clothes can be had.
Such fascinating color schemes as
are evolved in the yellows, the pinks
and the blues-in the yellows from the
palest shade to deep orange, and some
times with a touch of brown or queer
crimson; in the pinks from the palest
rose tint to deep American Beauty
crimson. and in the blue from almost
white, with a silver tinge, to the deeo.
queer, vivid blue that is so fashion,
able this season. The Innings of deeper
tint than the gown, the belt and trim
rnings with a still deeper note of
color, make the scheme entire and give
the distinctive appearance that so
marks the summer fashions OF 1906
Evening gowns for summer are built
on the same lines, to use a technical
phrase, as those of the winter, and.
after ALL conventional dress for a wo-
man is just about as cut and dried a
business as the mems dress suit. The
skirt unless a dancing frock for a
young girl is made with train, the
waist is cut decollete and the sleeves
are short Then upon this foundation
and after these rules is the gown

TOUGH ON THE FROG.
New Cure Discovered For Typhoid
Fever.
(Gastonia GaZette.)

A Newton man discovers that a
toad applied to the foot of fever pa
tient and kept there, would certainly
cure the patient. 1t may be that the
same is a we'll known remedy, known
of old, but it is new here in Newton,
he says. A young man in this county
has been very low with typhoid fever
for several weeks; so ill., in fact, that
the physicians gave him up to die.
Another young man had had typhoid
and took the frog treatment and was
cured and so the treatment was APP
piled to the patient with gratifying
results. The young man is reported
as convalescing. The toad the story
runneth. turns green and dies hav-
ing drawn all the fever from the pa
tent 1t seems to be an excellent
remedy, but it is tough on the frog.

New York. July 26.-The cotton

by a severe break in the later trading
with final prices showing a net loss OF

The opening was firm at an advance
of IL to IL points in response to high
err cables. and rumors that the acre
age reduction report at midday would
make a bullish showing. But the
weather was good. Liverpool weaken

during the first hour prices here broke
to a net loss of about 10 to Ia points.
This was followed by a rally to prac-

day, before midday. owing to covering
by nervous shorts. and Immediately
after the report giving the reduction
in acreage as 14.9 per cent as COM
pared with the reduction of ia per

a bulge to practically the high point
of the morning, with October selling
at ILL. Later it was reported tina;

which with a renewal of bear pressure
caused a break to a new low level for
