handsome such a skirt is. The matinee
is cream-colored nuns yelling figured
with pink rosebuds. 1t has neck
bound with white silk an inch and nali
wide, with three or four rows OF red SIX
braid, which also runs down the front TO
the bottom OF the sacque. The sleeves
are of two pieces, the outer one, which is
bound in white silk and braid, being OF
nuns yelling, cut square at the bottom
and left open down the outside of the
arm. The under sleeve is made OF two
founces of net lace. This is very lovely
matinee and quite out of the ordinary.
Whether ones petticoats are bought or
made at home, it should be borne In mind
that the tiounces must now De dean. A

white lingerie petticoats imply large
wardrobe of them for very frequent
changing. but the changeable ruf1e is
a simple device which relieves the sit
uation greatly. On plain white petit
coat made to reach a little below the
knee. a beading. about an inch wide, is
sewed, and on this beading two or three
lounces. deep enough to give a proper
length to the skirt are attached. The
top of the flounce should have the same
kind Of beading as the skirt, and with
a ribbon Of the right width those two
headings can be run together The
nounces can be made as dainty and as
elaborate as desired Many society
women in San Francisco. who are noted
for their neatness and for their ele-
gsnce. have adopted this changeable
llounce skirt.
For this summer skirts appear to be
very elaborate. In the large illustra-
tion is shown a very richly embroi-
dered petticoat 1t is French hand
made and hand embroidered, and it is
made OF thin lawn. II viii be seen
that the fiounce is put on considerably
above the knee, with piece of inch
wide lace insertion. under which is run
q strip OF wash ribbon, tied in large
bow on the side. The embroidery OF
the fiounce is OF a large lily pattern
and very beautiful. A little above the
top OF the shoe, j piece OF inch-anda
half-wide insertion is let in. and on
that is sewod a strip OF lawn which
carries the lace rufie At the bottom Of
the skirt. Cnder this ruf1ie there are
TWO others, the FIRST having deep
hem. and the second one edged with
narrow lace = skirt Of this descrip-
tion is so elaborate that when worn
with "A dressing sacoue IL will appear TO
be dress-skirt The little sacque worn
with it, as shown in the illustration, is
very dainty affair Il is made of baby
blue surah silk. The yoke and top of the
sleeves have very small tucks close to-
gether, and the neck is finished by a
piece Of lace insertion. which is car
ried down the front and around the
bottom Of the yoke and sleeves. The
silk is accordion plated and hangs
loosely from the bottom OF the yoke
10 little below the waist, where it is
finished of by a lace ruffle. The sleeves
have a large accordion plated fiounce
hanging loosely from a little above the
elbow, and they are also finished with
lace ruf1es. The sacque has a loose
lining OF soft silk. buttoning down in
front. A matinee of this style is meant
for bedroom wear.
Another style Of petticoat, which is

and edged with insertion and lace. Above
and below The waist band there are three
rows of shirring, giving the effect Of a
girdle This is drawn in tight at the
waist by piece Of embroidery beading
an inch and half wide, through which
is run a mauve ribbon tied in front and
having long ends. The sleeves have three
rows OF shirring, with little puff at the
top. Below that there are six rows Of
shirring and a very large and deep ruffle.
the bottom of which is scalloped, and has
lace insertion and edging on ii. The skirt
in this illustration is of lawn and has
f1ounoe hanging from the knee fastened
to an inch-wide beading with ribbon run
through it. Lace insertion comes down in
points from the top of the founce, and
band of insertion is let in at the bottom.
Next comes a strip of tucked lawn, on
which is sewed lace ruffie.
Skirts are trimmed sometimes with clu-
ny lace. which is always very handsome,
and also with round d-meshed valenciennes
lace or with the diamond d-meshed lace
All OF these are popular and much used.

CLAY PRODUCTS
As Set Forth by United States Geo
logical Survey.

Washington, D. c., June 12.-The
United States geological survey has
now in press a report of the statistics
OF the clay working industry of the
United States in 1904, which shows that
the value of the clay products in that
year was s131, ,023, ,24s, made up as fol-
lows: Brick and tile and the coarser
products, $105, 1854, ,97S; pottery and the
finer products, $25, ,15S,270.
These figures are practically the same
as those for 1903, when the total value
of the clay products was $1S1, ,O62,421.
The building and paving brick indus
tries showed small increases in 1904
over 1908. The fire brick industry in
1904 showed decrease of nearly 21 per
cent, owing to the falling off in the
iron industry, where fire brick finds its
chief use. The value of the pottery
products during the year, contrary TO
the general expectation of the trade,
showed only slight decrease, from
s25, ,436, ,O52 in 1903 to $25, 15S,27O in 1904.
