practically no change in the fever sit

the reports of new cases continue at
record figures and show that the dis
ease is spreading, the death rate con-
tinues to decrease. There are so cases
under treatment in Louisiana outside
of New Orleans.
There is no fever In Alabama OF
Mississippi, the suspicious sickness re-
ported Thursday at two points in the

Little Change Reported.
Except for reports OF the steady
progress of the work Of the federal
authorities in tkeir effort to get in
touch with every nook and corner
where disease may exist, the fever sit.
uation here was bare of developments
Friday. AS the days pass with steady
decrease in the death percentage, the
feeling of optimism increases. Frost

to demonstrate that serious vista,

been taken to destroy tie breeding

the book criticised the hero's appear

compliment, for most people must be
distinguished to wear that color"
In the days when executions were
very much the fashion for the women
as well as the men in high life the
dress for that occasion was always
chosen with great care. Lord Der
wentwater in 1746 went to the scaffold
dressed in scarlet faced with black vel
vet. trimmed with gold, gold laced
waistcoat and white feather in his
hat; and DR.. Cameron, who met the
same summary death. was dressed in
light colored coat. red waistcoat and a
new bag wig. Black satin for many
years was entirely out of fashion be-
cause of certain Mrs. Manning, who
was hanged, sent to Paris for black
satin dress on purpose for her last APP
pearance in this world.

Why Fashions Chance

A change in the style of dress is not
always due to mere caprice ON the
Part of modistes and milliners. There
Is often a worthier cause. This is the
enormous influence which painters ex-
ercise on dress. The simplicity Of dress
which came into fashion early in this
century was largely due to the charm
ing figures in white gowns and large
hats which Romney loved to paint.
This was a reaction from the absurd
hoops and monstrous headgears which
were Worn by the women of fashion
and made them resemble a ship under
full sail. The paintings of David were
responsible for the costumes. of the clas-
sical types, a revival of the Greek and
Roman draperies. Holbein's work was
even more important in it's result. He
was the first to paint middle aged and
elderly people in attire suitable to their
age and yet make them eminently pic
turesque. In the century which elapsed
between Holbein and Vandyke the
fashions showed great fluctuations.
There was the gorgeous, but decorous
dress of Catherine of Aragon, Eliza
beth's extravagant and indicate
gowns, which she wore to the day of
her death, and the somber gown and
simple ruff of Mary, Queen of Scots,
pie and graceful.
Another influence which is felt in
fashions is that Of fiction. 1t is claimed
by the son of Lord Lytton that black
evening dress for men had its origin
in the novel Pelham. At that period
men wore blue, brown and green as
well as black. One of the women IN

seen through the white is smarter as
a rule.
Black lace over white may not be so
new fashion as black lace over some
color, but the former fashion still finds
more followers this season than does
the latter Chiffon and black lace are
combined in the same manner as chif-
fon and white lace, and although the
fashion is not suitable for all ages as
is the white, older women can, at all
events, be thankful for a style that is
almost without exception becoming,
and that at the same time has certain
air of distinction about it, one reason
being that only expensive laces can be
used to advantage. All black lace
gowns, oddly enough, are not so ef-
fective, even when made up with chif-
fon not like mourning.
Lace medallions and applique on chif-
fon and crepe de chine exhibit the most
wonderful handiwork and are most
charming. On lace net are also used
applique designs, and here, as has al
ready been spoken Of, is afforded an
other opportunity for the combining of
different kinds of lace. A figure of
Malines or point lace can be appliqued
on plain net or chiffon, and then sur
rounding the figure, outlining it. as it
were, a narrow edge of Valenciennes
may be used. Entredeux of Valencien-
nes in chiffon or a crepe de chine
gown is broken by minutest figures of
some other kind Of lace, and these

hgures are outlined with the narrow
est and finest of valenciennes edging.
A waist of Malines lace will have yoke
and deep cuffs made of rows and rows

ed together with the tiniest of stitches.

accordion plated net f1ounces has each
f1ounce finished with deep lace ruffles.
while ON the body of the waist, which
is of the net are applique figures in lace.
and deep lace ruffles fall from the elbow
sleeves.
The long lace coats, never longer than
the medium three-quarter length that
are worn with the chiffon and lace
skirts, are more universally becoming
than are the short Jackets, so fashion,
able also this season, but every day
now sees some new design in these
fascinatingly smart little garments.
and before the summer is over it is
quite safe to predict that, whether be-
coming or not, they will be the fad of
the moment. Irish lace is most at
tractive always in coat, and it seems
to combine well with every material;
combined with linen it seems as though
made for it, while with the thinnest of
chiffon it does not seem too heavy.
In the long coats the bands of Irish
lace entredeux are most charming, and
the pattern of the lace shows to great
advantage, but the short jackets made
entirely Of the lace are immensely
smart.

and Chiffon Gowns.


The medium length and the lone
coats of lace worn over chiffon skirts
; are charmingly attractive, very smart
and becoming, and show off the beauty
Of the heavier laces to perfection. One
of the fads of the season is a gown OF
allover Valenciennes, or chiffon with
Valenciennes founces and entredeuX
and a coat of Irish lace. The combina-
tion sounds extraordinary, but in ap-
pearance is most satisfactory, for it is
smart and distinctive, and both the
laces show to great advantage when
put together.
The allover embroidered batiste
gowns are very charming-the color is
so good and the embroidery shows to
such good effect. Then, lined either
with white or some color that is in con-
trast like pale blue or pink, these
gowns look very cool and charming.
1t is not considered necessary to have
a silk lining, and if silk is used, India
silk is preferred, and then the lawn
|
idea being to make the gown look as
diaphanous as possible and at the same
time to be as cool as can be imagined.
One great difficulty in years gone by
was that when a silk lining was put
into these gowns made of wash mater
ials the gown was just as hot as though
1t were made of some heavy material
with thin lining, but inspite of the
fact that cool days come in summer it
is no longer thought smart to have a
gown lined with heavy silk, but the
extra wrap is provided instead. These
same gowns are now used all winter
for theater gowns, and when made of
lace and chiffon are perfectly possible.
The embroidered batiste, however,
must not be included in that category,
because they are essentially summer
frocks.
oddly enough, the newest designs
for the chiffon and lace gowns are In
quite severe lines. The skirts are wide,
but all fullness around the hips is alb
solutely tabooed, so that although ths
skirt is in accordion or side plaits, the
cores are distinctly marked. The wide
band of entredeux under the hem of the
skirt is not quite so wide as the accor-
dion plating of the material but still!
is wide enough for a decided flare.
while the hounce that finishes the
skirt is exaggeratedly wide to make
the hips look smaller. The lace coat
is tight fitting, of medium three-quar-
ter length, while the sleeves are small
rather than large; in some styles fit-
ting close to the arms with only width
enough at top to be like a comfortable
coat sleeve. This style of gown is al
most universally becoming. but for a
slight figure is more appropriate. as,
like a princess gown, it shows every
defect as well as every good point
While 1t Is the fashion this season to
introduce some color into the white
gowns rather than to have them UNI
relieved, in the lace and chiffon it IS
more effective to have the color in the
lining rather than to combine colored
chiffon and white lace. There is no
end of most attractive gowns made
with the colored chiffon and the white
lace, for instance, in the pale grays
and mauves, but the slight tint of color
Los Angeles herald., 1905-05-21

deep fiounce or hounces around the foot
finishing the lower part most becom-
ingly.
In buying all these robe dresses care
should be taken to see that there IS ma
terial enough around the upper part of
the skirt and that the skirt can he
made to hang well. A badly cut robe
skirt, no matter how handsome the

one of the ugliest a woman can wear
and she would much better be con-
tented with the simplest kind of ten
cent muslin without any embroidery,
If it is well cut and fitted, rather than

RIE six CONN withblAcK SrNEETEAcE

VX TITH the first warm days of
wv spring there comes an irresis-
tible temptation to don light
and airy gowns and for the moment
all the dark colors are relegated to the
background. This year especially are
all black and dark colors thrust aside
in favor of the brightest and palest
and lightest and most striking of colors,
while even the favorite taffeta and the :
heavier qualities of voile and chiffon .
that is, chiffon cloth or chiffon taffeta :
are left behind in the race for popular .
favor.
Such a craze as there is for embroi- :
derry and lace has surely never before ,
been witnessed in the history of Dress :
The open work embroidery, such as is .
known as the English embroidery or
the eyelet hole, is of course the great &.
favorite, but it has already been so
copied and initiated in the heavier and
coarser materials that conservative .
people are now going in for the hand
embroidery on the fine muslins and
for the closer effects. The two are
work on batiste and the finest lawn be-
ing used with the heavier embroidered
linens or with the embroidered musins .
as well.
All this entails an immense amount
of hand work, not only in the embroi- :
derry but in the combining of the two,
and such gowns are of necessity very
expensive; but they wear we'll and are
so indescribaby attractive that small :
wonder is it that no matter what price
is asked for them the demand con- :
tinues unabated. .
Dame Fashion has been kindly dis
posed this year to the majority of wo- :
men in SO far that she has said it is .
possible and fashionable as we'll to .
wear the so-called pattern robes.
Embroidered linens, embroidered mus
Inns and embroidered batiste and lace |
all come almost ready to wear, and of
course the cost is much less. The en- !
broidered linens used for shirt waists,
for entire gowns, Or as is the fashion
at the moment, the embroidered waist !
and the plain skirt that can be worn
with the long plain coat, are surprising
ly inexpensive, and If care be taken in
choosing the pattern most attractive
designs can be found and at surprising \
ly low prices. 1t is well always to
avoid over elaboration in coarse ma \
terials. Better little fine embroidery
than quantities of coarse that may be !
effective but at the same time shows :
how coarse 1t is.
The New Skirts
The smartest skirts are those that ]
have a good sweep around the foot.
The half length train in the fine mus I
Inns and lace gowns is necessary, but 7"
in all the heavier qualities such as linen d
the short skirt is a necessity. The fl
pleated skirt is the favorite for the ii
moment. but 1t is too universally made
up in every kind of material to have 81
IL rank among the smartest models of tC
the season. The hounced skirts show Il
embroidery off well-the allover ma m
terial used for the top part and the 81
