Two lapels are on each side of the front

each. The over sleeve is of wolfe with a
band of Irish point, and the lower is ell
bow length with tucks and a lace band.
A rose-pink wolfe also has tucks on
the skirt, with an embroidered band
above, and slight blouse is EN-
broidered to match, the neck cut in V
with lace yoke below. Many new cos
tunes have surplice fronts and elbow
sleeves, conveying the Jumper" effect.
Flat trimmings are supreme, especially
lace appliques embellished by floral de
signs, wrought in colored silk These
come in inch-wide bands, while those on
an expensive order are often II to IA
inches wide, with irregular edges, and
sprays of small flowers ornament the
large scallops or points, as the case may
be.

tunes, waists, jackets, fronts, or almost
any outside article of feminine apparel,

of which is, that it bears the stamp of
fashion. Lace of all kinds is most in
keeping with lightweight summer
fabrics, and the beauty and variety OF

revelation.

rose among small flowers is most
effective, as for Example, on a white chip,

white lilacs, very large crimson rose
with an unusual number of green leaves
placed in front imparts a distinguished
appearance. The brim is lined with
black silk, with a stitched fold at the
edge. The trimming of another "mush-
room" chip, consists of a pompadour
chiffon scarf draped around two large
roses, with many buds and leaves; fall
ing in graceful flowing ends at the back.
The hydrangia is another flower used
in combination with a large rose, or
with standing loops of shot taffeta rib
bon. The blending of two garnitures is
again exemplihed in a white chip, dra-
ped with green velvet. A slender vine of
crimson geraniums creeps above and be-
low the velvet draping, and large
cluster of white lilies.of the-valley soften
the pronounced tones of green and Grim

Shape.

The note of novelty for the coming
season must be sought in trimmings
and their varied disposition, as in all
departments of fashion, there is singu-
lar absence of genuine novelties. The
irrepressible, inexhaustible and indis-
pensable eton, is once more to the fore,
and long or short, plain or ornate, the
basis of the eton still remains, with the
exception of the loose empire coat, with
its broad, dressy lace collar and lace
trimmed elbow sleeves which after all is
not really new. Another dressy affair is
a bolero jacket, with body and sleeves
cut in one, very becoming style to
slender figures.
These remain practically the same,
tight-6tting around the hips and full
below the knee There are indications
that the walking-skirt will be somewhat
longer, but will clear the ground. A
pretty blue striped white wolfe, was
made with three double folds of blue silk,
exactly matching the color Of the stripe.
A blue silk belt, and small shoulder
cape and sleeve trimmings of silk, COM
pleted a simple, but remarkably at
tractive costume.
One of the earliest importations is a
gown of pale salmon pink wolfe, the full
ness around the hips in narrow plaits,
and the lower skirt trimming of several
tucks bordered by narrow braid. A
scant blouse of chiffon, appliqued with
Renaissance lace is below a charming
eton, formed of alternate rows of braid
ing and Irish point lace. The jacket
fronts are rounded tabs, and drop but

Salt LAKE City, Utah, Jan. 22.-
Former Governor Mcconnell of Idah ),
an Indian commissioner, in an inter
view, charges gross mismanagement
of Indian schools and arraigns the
system by which young Indian girls
are taken away from their parents and
sent to Indian schools. He alleges
that teachers in the schools pract &c
great cruelty on their charges and
that the girl pupils are allowed to he
debauched The blame for these con-
ditions he places on Secretary Hitch
cock whom, he says, he acquainted
with these conditions during his ten
ure Of Office, but who pigeon holed his
report. He further says that officials
of the interior department concealed
the true state of affairs from the pres
ident The reservation schools are
badly overcrowded, he says, as the
agents try to secure as large a per
capita appropriation as possible. He
claims to have seen instances where
Indian boys with running tubercul r
sores were compelled to sleep with
healthy Indians.
