ZINE outcome of summer styles has been the
 creating of a new little waist neither so N severe as to relegate it to shirtwaist ranks,
 nor a typical blouse-which is inevitably made of figured material-any one of the sheer, pretty batstes or linens of the novelty stufs made of silk and linen combined in odd, interesting ways
 First of all, the new waists came out to wear with linen suits, but they proved so satisfactory solution of the problem of getting something diff ferent that they promise to be more successful with cloth suits this fall.
 The figure, or stripe, or flower with which tho material is decorated is the same shade or color as the suit itself, some of the pretty brown suits which have been so popular all summer boasting attractive shirts of white with odd stripes and prim little flowers of the same brown-and other lighter shades.
 Most of them are untrimmed except for tucks, although few have little embroidery or lace ln- sertion applied in some simple fashion, The pret- tiest of them all, though, are those dade with narrow frill of the material set on each side ot the front which, by the way, may be plain box pleat, such as we've finished the fronts of shirt waists with ever since shirtwaists have existed, or bands of tucks or of tucks and insertion, as diff ferent from the oldtime frilled waists anything could be, but as interesting in it's difference.
 Long sleeves are upon all of them-the style demands it. in some subtle, but determined way, but never one of themahas the stiff cuff that goes so'well witt shrtwaist styles Instead, cuffs simply tucked, and left without Innings, are worn, some of then-on those waists which have the frills run ming down the front-made into turnback cuffs, and edged with marrow frilL

 String -color4the color of twine, and not that shade that comes between biscuit and cream-is what you want if you desire that irresistible charm that Paris gets out of rough colors and fine tailor ing.
 When the weave is coarse and looks homespun, still another degree of style is added that makes the face of Paris shine with approval.
 Little hats, much tilted over the brow, rap idly disappearing from the fair heads of gay Paris iennes, and shady leghorns. with high crowns, are taking their place.
 There is a positive mania just now for tho minglng of flowers on hats. Wreathes of field flow ers-mmense ox-eyed daisies, peoples, wheat, oats, barley-are carefully arranged as trimming on the exquisite leghorns that are so universally worn

 Besides linen string color, Paris makes these servieeable coats of pink linen.
 Needless to say, this is mere vagary of Paris. and is not likely to cross the sea, this season ct least.

Stripes for the Early Fall

far have been single stripes oftenest of black upon white or color. although color combinations are very good indeed.
 Like polka dots, there's all the difference in tho world in style between stripes of varying widths One color may make the stripe of certain size utterly lack style, while, in another color that width stripe is eloquent of the very quality the other lacks. A dozen stripe combinations of black and white may be side by side-perhaps out of all of them only will boast the elusive, significant feature.
 Every sort of costume and every sort of ma terial shows stripes. Whole suits and gowns are made of striped stufs, the stripes emphasized-or modified. depending upon which they need-by the plain material combined with them
 One exquisite gown of green-the softest shado of it--was trimmed with silk of green and white, the green stripe of the silk radically unlike the a shade as to be almost vivid. Yet so perfectly did the shades blend that the soft green was strength ened by the bright and the bright at once set of and subdued by the other. N
 Even the jackets to tailor suits have stripes in- troduced in the form of tiny vestees. or of bands that edge the trim little coat collars and the turn back cuffs.
 In some of the sheer novelty materials-those of single shade-the stripe effect is got in the weave (very much on the principle of the shadoy checks popular year or ago) by odd shiftings of threads, weaving them with almost Iaee-likc openness here, grouping them into solid bands there Made up over silk-white or lighter shade is usually chosen to emphasize the transparency of the cloth-the stripes seem definite, yet where the folds fall together they are completely lost.

Board the lIl-Fated Vessel, only
Thirty-seven Were Rescued
Rigid Investigation Has
Been Ordered.

Seattle, Wash.-The steamer Dix.
on the run between Seattle and Port
Blakely. was struck and sunk by the
Alaska Coast company steamer
Jeanne on Sunday night off Duwam-
ish Head, in Seattle harbor. Forty
two persons we're drowned, thirty
seven of the seventy-nine passengers
of the Dix being picked up by the
Jeanie's lifeboats and brought into
Seattle about IL p. M, when report
Of the catastrophe was made.
Marine Inspectors Whitney and
Turner have decided to hold a rigor-
GUS investigation into the loss of the
Dix. Their inquiry will begin as
soon as witnesses can be summoned.
The Dix lies in nearly 100 fathoms
of water, and it is doubtful whether
she will ever be raised. The owners
of the boat have turned her over to
the underwriters, who expect to
make some effort to recover the
steamer. Whether they will drag
for the boat or try blasting is unset
tied, but little hope of success is
entertained.
Flags of every nationality are
hanging at half-mast in Port Blakely,
and the entire population of 1000 |
has temporarily abandoned business
to emphasize it's grief over
the loss of the Dix. 1t is likely Fort
Ward will observe with military ex- |
actitude the loss of its men.
