trimmed with black buttons and com
bined with a chemisette of string
colored lace over white chiffon. The
color and the material are both en-
inently smart and the touch of black
gives a distinctive character to the
whole, but a season as prolific as this
one allows of a great variety of fab
rics and colors. Again, the waist
will be found equally suited to the
separate one and to the gown so that
it's usefulness is varied and it's pos
sibilities are many. Pongee in all its
colors, plain and figured, is being
greatly worn, and there are innumer-
able thin summer silks that would
be charming so made as well as light
weight woods and the like, while
many of the so-called washable ma
ferials are in reality designed TO be
cleansed and also can be utilized for
the design.
The waist Is made with a fitted
lining on which the front and back
are arranged. There is also a centre
front portion that is cut I'm a point
at its upper edge and the chemisette,
which is arranged over the lining,
the closing being made invisibly az
the left side. fhe trimming straps
finish the waist and the shoulder
edges, and there Is a choice allowed
Of elbow or full length sleeves, while
a full girdle completes the waist.
The sleeves, let IT be added. make a
special feature and are singularly at
tractive.

The Partisan coiffure is less high
than IL was last season, the hair be-
ing drawn loosely back and massed
about where the traditional Greek
knot is placed. There is. however.
no semblance OF the hard Psyche
knot in the soft coils. and puffs and
curls OF the coiffure la mode. New
York women in general are still
wearing their hair very high, but the
French influence has been noticeable
among the most modish women Of
the opera crowd.

nate to the City OF Alma the
Ten Acres Known as
THE ALMA SAMITAR|uM PARK

This Wedne sday morning & our honored
towns,nan Mr.. A. w. Wright sig

pan has as beautiful a spot comprising as
it does health giving springs together
with ten acres of forest trees located IN
the best residence portion Of the city and

business centre of the city. The gift is
outright the only condition being that
the city shall maintain and keep It for
park purposes only. Many times before
Mr.. Wright has by his generosity placed
the citizens of this community under
lasting obligations 10 him, but IN this
instance, and through the means OF this
gift the present and all future genera
tions who make Alma their home Will be
benefited and at the same time have
cause to revere the name of the man who
has to-day gwen to Alma park the

city in the Union. The gift and its
stipulations will undoubtedly be accepted
by the city council At iis next session.

had been rejected or referred back
to the applicant for proofs.
The department can follow but one
