ditiop of the chemisette. Sometimes the
opening is finished with a narrow bit
of richly embroidered braid, sometimes
with a narrow frill. Dotted nets and
muslins are liked for the evening gowns,
as we'll as soft woods, silks and crepes.
The girdle continues the proper thing
on fancy costumes, but a narrower belt
is making progress on shirt waists and
shirt waist suits.
The reaction noticeable in the way Of
less elaboration in dress applies to the
couture, too. No ornaments are now
worn in the hair save combs, the three
story pompadour is quite gone, and all
the mass of hair that for awhile lay
on my lady's back-to the detriment of
her dress, and not particularly effective
or becoming, either, save in the rarest
cases, is no longer approved. Now the
hair is lightly raised above the fore
head, but at the back it is worn fiat
against the head, accenting the natural
outline.
For wear with a silk shirtwaist suit
there should be white ruche at the
neck and-anOther grandmother tou0A
"a close string of gold beads; or, if one
possess 1t, a short chain of coral beads.
These accessories in no way detract
from the simplicity of the gown, and
at the same time give enough decora-
ton. to make 1t suitable for dressy de-
mands.
Although this is what is spoken of as
a color season, black is we'll to the fore
for evening dress; and thin stuffs are
especially liked for these gowns. They
should be made little longer than round
length, and the foundation be firm
enough to keep the skirt from looking
limp. Light crinoline is now used to
hold out the sleeves at the shoulder,
and may become generally used for
skirts as in days Of yore; but bear in
mind it has not as yet made much of
show for this purpose. Black dresses and
also colored ones, are literally sprinkled
with sequins, put on, not in the old fat
way, but in little strings that make a
swing and jingle as the wearer walks.
Spangles, too, are employed, always very
effective on black.

as a gallant and is willing to pay for the

Gen. Castro has found it convenient to
forget much of the policy he then an
nounced. He has created for the enrich
ment of himself and his satellites all
kinds of monopolies, seemingly without
care as to how they might affect either
the commerce of the country or the well
fare of its citizens.
One of the most infamous Of these adj
ministrative monopolies is that which
controls the beef product, which has
raised the price of this most important
commodity in Venezuela from eight to
IA cents pound, in a country one OF the
chief industries of which is cattle rails

President Gomez, who was formerly
butcher, and who is closely allied with
many of the financial schemes of the

PROPHECY OF NEW WAISTS

Shirtwaists made of wash materials; not
necessarily cotton, for many of the
woods wash beautifully and the China
silks can be subjected to water and iron.
Cashmere, after long period of lying
on the shelf, is now very much the thing,
comes in a wide variety of shades. It is
an excellent choice for the wash waist,
and can be employed for the shirt of SER
vice, or, in delicate tint, for dressy at
fairs.
Checks are liked for the severe waist,
and plaids in lightweight woolens, as
well as in silks, are popular. Red cash
mere makes very pretty waist, and is
fashionable at present Blue and green
checks have had quite a long day, and
still continue in favor. A one-colCred
waist is touched up with pipings of bril-
liant plaid, but the style of making
should be of tailor plainness. Straps
and bands, stitched with exactness, give
the tailor touch like once more, and
plaits and tucks are used. Buttons are
used extensively, all the ornamentation
is on what may be called the mannish
order. The shirtwaist girl of the period
is trim, not fussy. That is reserved for
the evening dress damsel
One silk waist at least should be in
cluded In the wardrobe, and good
choice for this is rather heavy silk
with dark foundation broken here and
there by fiecks or waves of some vivid
color. One fashion expert speaks of this
modish material as on the rag carpet"
order, and it is not unlike that floor
covering now only dimly remembered.
The model shown in our illustration
has style and simplicity, and such a
waist has nothing about it that would
spoil in the wash. The short yoke is
continued in the form Of straps on the
sides, down the center of the front there
is a double box plat fastening with but
tons and button holes. The sleeves are
decidedly full above the elbow, the long
cuff extends from elbow to wrist And
a word of caution in reference to this
cuff; it should be fitted with utmost
care. to look trim be fairly tight, so
tight it will need the buttons for use
as we'll as ornament. A sleeve that slips
over the hand easily rarely fits well.
