DANCING GOWNS FOR GIRLS.
At Least One of These Dresses Neces.
sary in Summer.

Dancing dresses for young girls
form an important part of the summer
trousseaux that are being made up
just now Every girl should have at
least one dainty, low-necked gown ex-
clusively for wear in summer. Even
if she expects to remain at home dur
ing all the hot weather there are still
many occasions VIXEN such a frock
will prove useful, while for the girl
who visits or goes to the seashore or
mountains it is absolutely indispnesa-
BILE.
1t is a mistake to use the winters
party finery for summer wear. Hand
some as it may be, it is never half so
attractive for the dance at hotel or
country house as even the simplest
kind of cotton evening dress. These
last have the advantage, moreover,
that they are easily and cheaply made
at home.

CRITICAL MOMENT.
When John Wanted the Ring It Was

Insertions of All Kinds.

Dainty bits of insertion of both
lace and embroidery are set into lin.
gerie frocks in most delightful effects
and there is no fidelity to any particu-
lar designs. Variety is the spice OF
fashions as well as of life, and the
couturiere who injects the most of it
into her toillettes is the one who is re-
garded as the most original. 1t would
seem as if all the inspiration possible
had been drawn out of the portraits
by old masters, but this is not the
case. Some of the new skirts are
after Reynolds, modernized, of course,
with bands of silk or braid, and com
binations are more homogeneous than
ever.

Her eyes frightened as she sat
alone in the Pickering freight. The
cool green's and grays of the room
took on a little flush, and her face
shared 1t.
The next hour would decide her
life; she was gambling with Fate, and
there was pleasurable excitement
about it.
1t mattered little to her which
came first; the colonel could give her
devotion, not to speak of his wealth
and position.
The doctor could give her an equal
devotion, and the companionship of a
keen and vigorous intellect
Jack did not count. She had given
him the rendezvous only that she
might complete her revenge. He was
not really in the running.

all? But then. why not? She was

miralty for tests before the keels of
the ships are laid down, the miniature
ships being tied in great tank. The
models are from II to "a feet long, the

not absorb water or change ito weight.

Bishop and Mrs. Potter, of New York,
who occupied residence in Richmond,
Va, during the General Convention of
the, Episcopal Church, entertained at
luncheon Bishop Ferguson, of Africa, the
only negro entitled to a seat in the House
of Bishops. The action of Bishop Potter
in thus receiving a colored man into his
home circle on terms of social equality
has caused the almost universal condem-
nation of Southern Bishops and delegates,
who look upon the matter as slur on
the South, the hospitality of which the
Bishop was accepting at the time.
The dinner in honor of the African
Bishop while very quiet affair, has
caused as much newspaper controversy
as did that memorable social incident in
which Booker T. Washington figured as
the guest of honor at the White House

Two Candidates Retire Cost Too
Great.

John p Poe and Joseph B. Seth, who
had filed their names as candidates for
United States Senator at the democratic
primaries, have withdrawn, considering
the cost too great, with no assurance OF
success. The remaining candidates are
Governor Edwin War6eld, John Walter
Smith, ]. F. c. Talbot and Joshua w.
Miles, for the long term, while Senator
William Pinkney Whyte is the only cam
didate for the short term.
1t has been estimated by General Van
diver, chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee, that the total cost of
the Senatorial primaries will be $I4,-
23o s.. Under the terms of the resolu-
ton of the State Central Committee the
cost was to be apportioned so that one
sixth of it would fall upon the candidates
for the Short term, and the remainder
upon those trying for the full, or long
term. United States Senator Whyte is
the only candidate in the field for the
uhS4pHSu teIm Oh loImer oSnatoI Arthur
Pue German, which expires one year
from March q, 1909. Consequently SEN
ator Whyte's assessment was $2,373 80,
which he paid, while each of the four
candidates for the six-year term. from
March a, 1910, had to pay s., e66.5o.
The resolution required that the can
didates should pay their proportiouate
share of the cost of the primaries not
later than October 20, and the call of
Chairman Vandiver for the cash caused
two of them to rue bargain, when they
learned the amount required, and with
draw.
