Short Sashes.

For women inclined toward greater
simplicity there are charming short
sashes which look especially well with
the frocks made slightly short waist
ed at the back. Others consist of
inch and a half gold or silver ribbon,
weighted with tassels, but a very
good quality of ribbon must be used
if it is not to tarnish. and this is only
another way of saying that such
sashes, even though among the mar
rowest of the smart waist trimmings,
are easily the most expensive. A very
good quality of gold or silver ribbon
will cost from two and half dollars
yard upward, while the tassels and
kindred trimmings are corresponding
ly high.
Fichu effects are growing more and
more in popular favor. Flounced
skirts are another Victorian fashion
admirably adapted to summer fabrics.

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Amerl-
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri.
can Medical Association has become
SO pronounced as to cause comment
In political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors Of
the Regular" or Allopathic school, OF
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many intelli.
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township -
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session of
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed a
hope that a larger number of physi.
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In it's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
tnnnf hnwnVnr nnrticit1arlU ~ tho
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the rst time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$4,000 are fully constituted men,
bers" and the rest are members be.
local societies, The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
1871 and it's total assets are $751;
567.S9. Its liabilities, at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21,906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about 100000 year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine. and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compel
all of the people of the United States
to pay doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

NgckwsAR OF THE MOMENT.
SILK Ties Generally Best with the EN-
broidered Collars.

There are many varieties of jaunty
little silk ties offered for wear with
the embroidered collars, but the
smartest thing to use with such col
lar is some form of lingerie tie or bow.
These when fine enough to be desir'
able. are too expensive to become com
mon, and the coarse limitations OF
them are hopelessly ugly and tawdry.
If one cannot afford really dainty
lingerie tie or bow or rabat 1t is far
better to hold to silk tie.
A short strip of fine lingerie stun,
widening toward the ends and beauti'
fully embroidered at those ends, is one
of the popular arrangements for wear
with the linen collar. 1t is doubled
so that one embroidered end falls just
below the other, and the folded middle
is slipped up under the collar, hiding
the two collar buttons and either but
toning invisibly to the upper collar
button or held in place by the pin
which is often associated with the EN-
broidered linen collar.
A horseshoe or circle pin, catching
the two sides of the collar and holding
them and the lingerie cravat firmly in
place, is often seen, and ornamental
collar pins of the kind so much used
for collar and cuff sets are also used

China Tea Parties,

One of the latest attractions of the
afternoon tea party is expressed in the
invitation sent out by the hostess.
Bring with you any piece of china
about the origin of which you feel du.
blous. The guests arrive bearing in
their arms some pet piece of pottery
that they have long ago imagined to
be of value, though without any def.
mite reason FOR their belief, or some
interesting trihe that may or may not
be of great worth.
An expert in china is hidden TO the
party and the possessor of each piece
is told exactly of what make the curlo
is and Of what value. Great disap.
pointment and, ON the other hand
exceeding joy are melted out by the
judgments uttered in each case.

PRETTY IDEAS IN TRIMMING.
Narrow Frills of MousseIne and Lace
Are Much Used.

A trimming idea exploited upon
some of the prettiest frocks in silk
mousseline and similar sheer stuffs
and expressing the tendency toward
frills and furbelows was a feature of
one of the silk coats and mousseline
skirt frocks which figure among the
cuts. Alternate narrow frills of valen-
ciennes lace and mousseline cover
the skirt to line above the knees and
the sleeves, which are left visible by
the sleeveless casaque, are also COM
posed of alternating frills of NOUS
seine and of lace.
Tiny frills of soft ribbon trim many
sheer frocks, the ribbon being used in
profusion, and countless narrow bands
of ribbon laid on fiat are also a popu-
lar trimming for the summer frock.
One sees, too, as in the case of
the ruched silk casaque and nous
seine skirt model wide full ruches of
sheer material edged with narrow rib,
bon in satin or velvet, used as the bot
tom trimming for skirts of the sheer
fabric. In this particular instance the
skirt was OF mousseline and the mar.
row edge was of silk, matching the
little bolero.

Patron Saint of LAWYERS.

This story is told at the expense OF
Francis II. T. Maxwell, a well-known
lawyer. The members of the Taunton

ought to have patron saint, but after
much wrangling they could not hit up,
on any particular saint.
Finally a committee, of which Mr.
Maxwell was member, was appoint,
ed to make q selection They made
a trip to New York, and there visited
a gallery where most of the saints were
carved in marble. 1t was decided ia
leave the selection to Mr. Maxwell
and after making the rounds he placed
his hand on one in a group of two
This one will do" he said He had
