New STYLES in Mohairs.

Mohairs have come out in the pret-
test of pastel checks, and mohairs
have no end of wear in them. They
make the most satisfactory travelling
suits and dresses imaginable. CEif-
fon-taffeta, in the tiny broken checks
and hair lines, copied from old-time
silks, makes up exquisite suits. Reg
ulation shepherds checks, and, most
of all, the shadow checks, are strong
er than ever. In wash stuffs linen
leads. But chambray and ginghams.
and, by the way, those dark plaid
ginghams, make stunning suits, re-
lieved from too somber a style by
chemisettes, and a hundred other ma
terials are used, trimmed or plain.
The broderie Anglaise suits are stun
ming, and the embroidered ones, and
a severe little kind of plain suit that
is just coming in-more mannish as
to style, yet anything but masculine.
Only a few have been made yet, but
they're too fascinating not to be re-
peated.

Silk Shirt Waist Suits.

Silk Shirt waist suits have changed
a good deal since last year, and half of
them have the chemisette in one form
or other; the little round and square
necks are most popular, although sur
plice styles make V shapes of the
fuckers. Circular fiounces have come
in again, after circular skirts, and
prove an attractive way of getting
graceful little extra fullness about the
skirt from the knees down, without
accentuating fullness further up on
the skirt. The same skirts often
show tucks running up and down
just on each side of the front and of
the back, giving a sort of panel effect
that is very good. With this skirt
the shirt waist should be tucked down
front and back like the skirt, carry
ing out the panel effect. Leave the
shoulders plain, and put stitched
bands of the material in a broken
line to define a deep yoke and about
the tiny square neck. The yoke and
cuffs may be made separate or at
tached.

Lobster Race the Latest.

Learned men of science gravely lis

ing the report of a lobster race which
has just been held, says a Paris spe-
cial to the Kansas City Journal. The
contest took place off the Isle of Man.
number of young and spry Holsters
each with number attached to its
tail were dropped in the sea.
The winner-that is, the competitor
which so far as known, Travelled far
thest frsm the starting point, was
fished up thirteen and one-half miles
away three days later. The lobster
race was got up with view to ascer-
tanning certain questions relating to
the distance these crustaceans are
likely to travel within specified
time. 1t was not ascertained how
many finished, but the truth of the
reports are now vouched for.

Relics of Stormy DAYS.

During the process of excavation at
the municipal quarries, Woodstock,
South Africa, the occasion arose to re-
move a bank of clay which lay close
under the old blockhouse which domi-
mates the slopes of Devils Peak.
The upper strata having been remov-
ed, the workmen in taking away the
clay discovered some interesting rel
les of the old stormy times when the
Cape was the halfway house on the
voyage to India, and bone of conten-
ton for the English, French and
Dutch. The first discovery was the
case of a shell which had exploded in
the clay, and which was found, thick
ly encrusted with rust, embedded a
couple of feet from the surface. A lit
tie further to the right, and about
three feet from the surface, a couple
of four-inch solid shot were found
and further along the bank seven
inch shot.

For the Dust Cloak.

For midsummer wear, when a wrap
is worn more for protection from dust
than for warmth, the pongee and silk
coats are by far the best, and fashion
has pronounced in favor of light rath-
er than dark colors. Tan, gray, all
pale colors and white-an ivory white
are thought far better than the dark
blues and blacks that at. first were
thought the more practical. Forum
ately common sense does play prom
inent part in fashions nowadays, and
when, as in this instance, it is discov-
cred by actual test that light colors
are best, as they shed the dust, then
light colors are worn by the majority.
The blues and reds in bright shades
are very smart also, but these colors
require to be carefully chosen or they
will be too conspicuous.

One form of such device is a ring
formed of wire much after the style of
the now almost forgotten flexible wire
garters and sleeveholders. The ring,
which is mparatively inconspicuous,
will, by reason of its design, fit any
ones finger. 1t carries setting de-
signed to afford space for making
notation of the specific details to be
executed. Another such reminder
takes the form of an attachment to
cover the case of your watch, it being
presumed that some time during the
day you will consult your timepiece
and so be confronted with the memo
randum, which is written on round
disk fitted to the watch case and car
ried by the stem. These two Illus
trations merely represent two recently
patented ideas among the many dozens
of this class that appear during the
course of each year.

There's "Airinessr in Goats.

A very light weight supple moire is
being exploited by some of the French
coatmakers, and often with admirable
results. In delicate pearl gray, inset
with lace dyed to match, and in a de-
sign or huge grape clusters, and trim
med with soft frills of yellowish allen
con, this new moire made most de-
lectable flowing three-quarter coat.
The new supple Iaille, too, has been
taken up enthusiastically by cloak
makers, but taffeta still holds the first
place.
Mousseline, chiffon cloth, and net
are perishable materials for the wrap
but. perhaps for that very reason have
for some time past been popular with
the women who do not count dollars
in their pursuit of modish elegance
Models in these sheer stuffs are love
lier than ever, and the f1owered nous
selineS and chiffons so wonderful in
design and coloring are often utilized
by the artist in coats.

"SPIDER" PLANT OF AFRICA.
Curious Growth That Resembles Gil
gantic Creeping Thing.


gantic Creeping Thing.
One of the most curious plants in
the world is the one described by
travellers recently returned from the
Cape Nego district, a little known
region OF Africa 1t is called the
spider plant. These travellers often
heard from the natives of a plant that
was part spider and that, growing,
threw it's legs about in continual
struggles to escape. 1t was the good
fortune of DR.. Welwitsch to discover
the origin of the legend. Strolling
along through a wind-swept table-land
country he came upon plant that
rested low on the ground, but had
two enormous leaves that twisted
about in the wind like serpents-in
fact, it looked, as the natives had said,
like a gigantic spider. It's stem was
four feet across and but foot high.
1t had but two leaves in reality; these
were six or eight feet long, and split
up by the wind so that they resembled
ribbons9 This is probably the most
extraordinary tree known. 1t grows
for nearly, if not quite, a century, but
never upward beyond about a foot,
simply expanding until it reaches the
size stated, and looking in it's adult
state like singular stool on the plain
from ten to eighteen feet in circum-
ference.-Montreal Herald. ,sgs

Newest in Coiffures.

Fringes-as known in the nineteenth
century-are now things of the past.
Smart women wear a light, straight
rouleau of hair on their foreheads, or
wave the hair into an artistic frame
for their faces, with one or two soft
curls to break any hardness in the out
line. And sometimes one curl is worn
drawn to a point in the middle of the
forehead. A few women, tall and with
long, swanlike necks, dress their hair
low, with a loose knot in the nape of
the neck.

of Honan there is a city called U, and

Perhaps there is no better illustra-

considers every little detail of her

girl with the large foot is wearing.
She scorns all the gay colored, bril-

and wears instead plain black satin
slipper which fits the foot very snugly,
has a medium high French heel, and
an exceptionally large black satin or
black velvet bow in front which really
has a remarkable way of apparently
