some extremely attractive frooks Of this
type, made in the softest of chiffon taffeta,
braided with fine soutache, are among
the recent importations.
ApFopos of braids, their popularity is
testified to by each new opening exhibit, and
the sparkling radium braid is used on every
thing from cloth to net. Two toned braids
showing two shades Of one color, black and
white braids, metallic braids, embroidered
braids-all are called into play, and the
inen braids are applied to many smart linen
t-ooks of tailored type.
Self strapping folds, &c, are the only
trimming of some of the most attra ctiye
tailor costumes, aside from a touch OF con-
trasting color in collar and sleeve finish;
and one device launched by a famous Par
isian dressmaker is distinctly original and
and very much prettier than description of
it would suggest. Several New York inn
porters have brought over models into
which this idea Is introduced, but one of the
prettlest Is q tailored coat and skirt costume
Of fine striped suiting In black and white.
Both the circular skirt and the pony coat
are trimmed In bands. and these bands are
formed Of heavy lingerie beading an inch
and q half wide, through which bias bands
of the striped suiting, stitched fatty at bach
edge. are run In place Of ribbon. The
whole lis held smoothly to the frock surface
by invisible stitching and pressing; and at
first glinpse one can hardly discover how
the effect Is produced,
An embroidered lingerie collar and cuffs
to match carry out the scheme. The same
idea Is developed very successfully in linen
and beading.
Shaded oolorings have lost none Of their
prestige and in many Of the new materials
vague pastel tints are 80 delioately shaded
and blended that 1t is almost impossible to
analyEe the resulting color tone, A Sixth

shaded mousselines de sole, more than a
yard and a half wide, which shade from

on the dark edge have q deep floral border

plated skirts. The danger Of sagging with
wear and of losing shapeliness in the laun-
dering is, Of course, the objection to the
circular skirt, but skirt makars say that
they have overcome this difficulty By cut
ting the skirt with two side cores, one being
straight.
Charming embroidered linen costumes
in the pony. coat and circular skirt class
have the little coats entirely plain save for
embroidery bordering the fronts bottom.
Heck and cuffs, and for lines Of very marrow
crochet oluny, set into the seams. The
skirt is also plain save for a deep bottom
border of embroidery, running up in q point
in front.
The embroidery is rather heavy and
scattered through the design are open work
eyelets. In ecru, this elegant model of
severe outlines is exceedingly taking and
well adapted TO Tubing. In pink or dull
blue the embroidery ia self colored, but a
becoming touch Of white OF cream is intro
duced in a handsome collar Of real Irish
crochet, bordered by little plaitings OF
batiste.

HENS JEALOUS
Over a Government Bulletin
Aimed at Their Prestige.

By Government analysis. as
shown by a recent bulletin, there
has been discovered a food which
contains So 1877 more nutrition
than eggs. Authorities on such
matters claim that this food will
eventually supersede meat foods
because Of its richness in nutrition
and Its ease OF assimilation and d.
gestion. 1t is a fruit food, or q
fruit meat known as LYVOLAS.
1t is just being introduced and
tastes like nothing else In the
world in the way of a food.
LYVOLAS are rich in life-giv-
ing food properties. They make
sound flesh and rich red blood.
They are cheaper than meat and
better. They are simply deli.
cious, and a child or an invalid
may cat them. Write to the Lyv-

county 20 be presented at the coming
term of the state legislature for relief
from the outstanding heavy debt of the
county.
A meeting of the county commission
ers with Senator Huffman and Repre-
sentatfVes Hal Cowan and Charles Wes-
colt this week for the purpose of franz
ing a bill to be presented was held. The
plan under consideration is for the is
suing of refunding bonds to the ex-
tent of the Indebtedness which will be
estimated by the commissioners.
The experience of the county during
the past year was that the payment of
bills had to be suspendcd about the
first Of June. The same order will have
to be resorred to next year, probably
earlier. unless some relief is secured in
some manner. The plan Of issuing re
funding bonds in small .denomina tons
is thought to be the most plausible
way to get out of debt.
