Boil WeeyiI

The Gazette has received a
number of bugs from points in
Mississippi, the senders of the
bugs asking whether they had
found boil weevils. In no case
has a boil weevil been sent in.
In one case a weevil that looked
very much like the boil weeyil
has been received, but it is not
the cotton pest. So far as known
at the present time, it seems
very doubtful that are any boil
weevils in Mississippi, but it is
equally certain that they W i'll ar
rive before many months. At
least something will have to hap
pin wholly contrary to anything
that is known Of the pests If they
do not arrive. All cotton raisers
can sleep well in the faith that
the weevils cannot injure the
present crop in this State much,
if any, this year; but those in
the southwestern part OF the State
should expect them in 12months.
A little later those in other parts
of the State should expect them.
The weevils might take one of
their erratic flights in which they
quickly pass over q wide stretch
Of country, and arrive sooner.

vile north the fall was so heavy
as to cause great damageto grow
ing crops. The rain at Corinth
was one of the heaviest in the
history Of the place and many
lowland fields were submerged
and the crops greatly damaged.

Theodore H. Price the cotton
market manipulation in speaking
of the crop of 1906 says:
do not forget that the average
opinion of the worlds cotton ex-
changes is that a crop of IL, 900,
600, bales will sell at 13 81 cents
and a crop Of 1000, 900 sell at
10.2c. The present outlook in
my opinion, is for a crop very
much nearer II, 900, 900 than IL,
900, 900 bales.

all of these lingerie possessions. It Is taking quite a risk to purchase just bare ly enough, for, if additional quantity be necessary, the scarcity of all the narrow laces makes 1t highly improbable that the pattern can be matched. Not that there Is any decrease in the vogue of varied laces on the one gown. Au contraire. It Is more emphatic than ever; but some clever little touch of contrasts must be expressed In this wise, else the result were patchy in the extreme and all too suggestive of the remnant and bargain counters.
 The embroidered parasol top can ex- press any degree of extravaganza that may be desired. For morning use there are fine linen ones, wrought with heavy raised blindwork and the edges button holed and scalloped. For afternoons and carriage wear the acme of elaboration Is observed, and even choice real laces of the Honiton, duchesse and Bruges school are deftly employed to supplement the charm of the embroideries that are in such high vogue. Handles to these are extremely long and slender, and big. fluffy rosette rather than bow of ribbon about halfway down the shaft is the cor rect finish.

when she-with the assistance of the Duchesse d'Aosta. the Marchese Abruszi and other noble ladies of her court-es- tablshed a school at Turin, brought out the royal possessions In laces, than which there are few, if any finer, in Europe, and engaged teachers, paid them to study at the parent school, In Turin, and then, when competent, sent them out to the national or public schools of Italy to train the growing generation in the old time arts of lace making in which Italy was for centuries pre.eminent in Europe.
 old Venetian rose point, Florentlne point, the several laces made in Tuscany, the Italian flets and guipures-both of which are distinctively different to those of Russia and Austria---have been revived with much success. The church in Italy possesses examples of lacework' of rare beauty. and the teaching nuns soon took up the movement with enthusiasm. The result Is that. commercially speaking. the women of Italy have achieved a position to which they never dreamed of, for there is a far more strenuous demand for their productions in the lace line than the population can suppiy.
 The characteristically French laces, however, seem to have suffered more than any others. Of course, there have been some beautiful examples of Cluny put forth, and the several varieties of valen- clennes have sustained their vogue throughout all the changes and chances that have affected laces generally. h. deed, of valenciennes 1t may be said that 1t Is never out of style, and the demand remains more or less stable abroad

In the Haunts g Fashion.

Shoe shops are displaying the most dell cate-looking silk or lisle thread hosiery In tints to match the colored shoes and slip pers that bid fair to become craze ere the summertime is over. One maker in New York, who really leads the fashions in footwear, has sent out beautifully en- graved cards announcing that any tint of material can be matched in shoes and hose. the former made to order and delivered upon 10 days notice The fad for colored footwear with white gowns is expected to meet with conspicuous success and all the little accessories of the tollette-belt, neck and hair ribbons, paraso bows and such--are supposed 10 be in harmony with the footwear.
 Chintz and cretonne furnishings for the summer home are shown in some of the high class Interior decorating specialist es- tablishments, with every little item com pletely covered in the pattern selected. Bed covers, bureau and table scarfs, chair cush- ions, book rack, work basket. footstool, and even a tiny clock, are shown In the daintiest of French cretonnes and English glazed chintzes. Of course. they will fade and soil In the summer sun and the stress of wear but nothing that cannot be laun- dered successfully, or renewed inexpensive ly.

 Little sprays of hand embroidery wrought upon a square of fine linen can be purchased either by the dozen or sepu- rately in some of the smart shops They are just the thing for the handmade blouse, a little lace serving to frame them, and add to the amount of elabora. ton that can be compassed at a slight expense.

Elaborate Hand -Embroid-
 cred Parasols.

The two examples of hand-embroidered and elaborated parasols are in keeping with the march of extravaganza that is the keynote of current styles. Each well defines the trend of styles, one for the simple effect and the other boldly declar- ing an acme of elaboration which Is well expressed In both material and design. The simpler one isjof somewhat heavy handk kerchief linen-that Is, 1t Is a heavy weave for handkerchlefs. On thls a de- sign of three-eaf clover Is wrought In heavy satin stitch, somewhat after A con ventional motif. The edge Is simply buttonholed scallop. The other makes use of far sheerer linen, and combines a duchess lace with hand embroideries after a most extravagant fashion. In this instance the whole cover Is worked before being mounted, and the design arranged to suit the rufne of Brussels applique which surrounds the edge Un- der this there is a ruf1e of the sheer handkerchief linen. with several rows of tiny pinched tucks above the hem. stitched hem, and whipping of narrow real valencienpes on the edge.

Magnificent Toilettes In Real Lace and Hand
 Embroidery.
Magnificent Toilette in Real Lace

Magnincent Toilette in Real Lace.
 One cannot help but wonder how 1t Is that the makers of Irish crochet-and they are all of them of the peasant class in Ireland-can tell so far ahead just what styles are to be worn. for such gown as that pictured will take well-nign a full year to It's fashioning. aud yet they invariably express the dernier cri, the very last idea of the mode.
 In the exqulsitely extravagant toilette pictured there are three pieces, blouse and skirt that are joined invisibly just below the waist line, in a princesse effect, and a charming little caraco that Is worn unlined. Large sunnowers are the domi- nant motif in the design. and closely worked daisies fill In some of the inter- vening spaces. The character of the lace is that of a heavy and well-defined pat tern, the connecting stitches being all of fairylike fneness, so that the design stands out boldly against the background of chiffon which veiis the silken founda- tion.
 The gown follows the prevailing craze for the collarless throat, being cut down in a moderate V; and there is but an apology for a sleeve, this Item ending
  well above the elbow. The coat sleeve, on the contrary, Is of the full and loose pagoda order, and hangs well below the elbow line and finished with double ruff fe of very narrow real Valenciennes on the edge. A touch of finish Is accorded in the rollover collar and mere hint of Directoire vest. which are In white moire velvet of chiffon weave; and the exquisite buttons, that are added as much for orna- ment as for fastening, are of heavy gold tissue cut into strips and knotted to shape. This same little touch of gold appears on the embroidery tSat edges those little items in moire velvet. and Is in keeping with the idea of extravagance that reigns throughout.
 Chiffon, Hand Embroideries and
 Real Laces Make the Mode.
 The seemingly simple but really ex. travagant ideas are those that dominate
