saline and tuIle plaitings are beneath
the sleeve ruffles; gun metal buttons
trim. The fashion of tinted lace has
not decreased, and many exquisite
evening gowns are seen with insertions
of self-color Valenciennes or Chantilly,
or again and more frequently the re-
pousse laces, which are purposely
made to combine with fine nets and
tulle, and have the lightest of patterns
on a most delicate mesh The old
fashioned silk blonde lace, too, has been
revived, and is once more made as it
was fifty years ago in circular f1ounces.
This is almost suggestive of cobwebs,
SO light in texture as it is. and the de-
signs are most delicately traced in re-
lief. To wear with the various evening
gowns slippers and Stockings should be
chosen in the exact shade of each; this,
of course means a number of pairs OF
stockings, but at the end of the season
they may be dyed black or any dark
shade to match the summer silks. The
slippers should be cleaned after each
wearing; numberIess fluids come that
have a wonderful result in removing
the stains and smudges that will come
even from a crash covered floor, and If
attacked when fresh they can be eradi-
Gated with but half the trouble; the
hem of the gown should also be kept
as spotless as possible.

For the endless round of dinners the
young matron finds that the frocks OF
tulle and f1my lace SO dear to her heart
do not stand the wear quite as she
would wish, and in place of the regula-
ton ever ready black gown that is to
be found in almost every collection OF
evening dresses, she is wisest who
chooses gray net embroidered in gun
metal paillettes. This is a color that
will suit any occasion, and one that
does not tire because there are so many
just like it., for indeed too few people
realize how becoming the color is or
how it lends a distinction and indi-
viduality to the wearer. The huge
swirling design of orchids and dragon
flies is also unusual, and the contrast
between the pale gray net and the
deeper toned satiny paillettes is ex-
quisite. The foundation is of liberty
satin in the pale silvery gray, and it is
doubly yelled, first by chiffon and then
beneath the fine net skirt with gray
tulle, So that very fluffy appearance
is the result. At back two panels rise
to high points at either side of the
middle, reproducing the design at the
front, but wider at base. The neck of
the gown is edged with real valencien-
mes, tinted the shade of the net over
wider piece in natural shade The
girdle and cuffs are of gray satin mes

girls have taken up the sport, notably
Miss Eloise Breese, for whom a con-
Germ in this city is building an auto
mobile bicycle that is expected to over
come many of the objections to the
commoner kind. The chief difficulty to
be sur1nounted is to provide for drop
frame. Ordinary motor cycles have to
be bestridden by their riders, which, of
course, is out of the question for really
nice young women. Miss Breese's mo-
tor cycle will have the piston rod and
other mechanism so placed that she
can sit beside that part Of the frame

she makes the sheepsfin mallets fly
over the wires Is the wonder of tech

aptitude for unusual musical instru-
ments that amazes men who have de-
voted years to their study. The gypsy
piano is a cross between either and a
xylophone. 1t is strung like the first
named instrument, but struck like the
latter one. The impact Of the ma1lets

GRAIN NOT DAMAGED
IN SHOCK BY THE RAIN
Being Threshed in Exceptionally Good
Condton-Past Week
Cool.

According to the crop bulletin for
the week ending Aug. :, the first half
of the week was cool, the temperature
averaging about four degrees above
normal. Much higher temperatures
prevailed during the last three lays.
Precipitation was very local in charac-
ter; about One-third of the correspond
ents in the northern and central dis
tricts reported heavy rains, about one
third reported occasional showers.
while the remainder reported no rain
fall. In the southern district the rain
fall was light and scattered.
The general condition OF the corn
crop is very promising; it is tasseling
in the northern district caring well in
the central, and has reached the roast
ing ear stage in the southern. IN
those localities where there was little
or no rain tits beginning To- fire. Worms
are injuring the roots in some parts of
the northern district, and some damage
has ensued from flooding on low lands
in the southern district.
Oats threshing continued during the
week; and, except from a few localities
in the southern district where they
were damaged in shock, good yield Of
fine quality is reported.
Wheat threshing continued with but
little interruption, and is now nearing
completion The damage resulting from
the heavy rains while the crop was in
shock is not so great as was antici-
Dared: and reports, as a rule, indicate
a fair yield OF good quality. Rye and
barley are yielding well. Pastures
were greatly improved where rains fell,
but are getting very short elsewhere.
The second crop of clover IS in blossom
and very promising. The crop Of early
potatoes was poor. but better results
are expected from the late planted. as
conditions have been more favorable.
Melons are Tipening in the southern
counties. and a good crop is indicated
