The day of the supremacy of the
over. The trouble with linen is that it
muses. readily. A mussed linen is a
depiorable sight, and one can't ride in
railway trains without leaving traces
of it on linen. Raiah and worsteds
do not muss readily and are quite as
cool and more pliable.
AS for the lightweight cloths, those
that do not wrinkle easily are ideal.
For years they were too heavy and
warm to make comfortable travelling
costumes and those for wear around
town on warm days. Now, however,
that the art of making them in service
able yet smart colors, and also of
lining them with silks SO thin as to
add hardly anything to their sub
stance, the former objections are done
away with. Then, too, while starch
added to the heat of linen, there is
none of that in wool and worsted, and
they clean better and are suitable for
a greater number of emergency cases
in the gown line than are the Rajahs.
Not a few so-called Jumper or pin
afore dresses are seen on the younger
matrons and girls. The jumper frocks
are extremely pretty, and made by a
good dressmaker are so far different
from the ordinary jumper dress one
sees by the dozen that the wearers of
the former need not mind the similar

: There is a tendency to wear the hats
farther back than eve from the fore
head, and added to this in many in
stances there is the appearance of the
hats being two sizes too large and
so far as the brim is concerned
abnormally large at the back.
But the eyes grow accustomed to
these cloche and mushroom hats of
peculiar outline. However, just at
first they strike everyone In the same
way-they appear to be falling off the
head! Even the very small mushroom
shapes. which promise to be SO popu-
lar for country and seaside wear. are
thrown back on the head, and when
these are lined with dark taffetas, as
Is 80 often the case with the straw
hats of this season, they form a most
becoming aureola for the face!
The circular veil is a Paris limo
walton. At first sight this arrange
ment Of net and lace suggests a dainty
parasol cover, but when posed on q
large cloche hat it gives the most pic
turesque and satisfactory effects. The
new veil is cut In a perfect circle. and
is, as have said. large enough tc
cover g small; parasol. It Is edged

all round with pleated frills or with
little quillings of narrow ribbons; or
again, it is inset with fine lace all
round the edge and further enriched
by the introduction of several rows of
very narrow black velvet ribbon.
This veil may be arranged in sew
eral ways. 1t may be caught in at
the throat, allowing the pleated frills
to drape themselves round the neck
in a peculiarly becoming style. At
other times the veil may be left per.
fectly loose-hanging like a curtain
all round the hat; or it may be drawn
towards the back and held in place
by fancy pins. Frilled wells are still
in the height of their popularity, and,
for wearing with flower decked hats
nothing could be prettier than a long
black spotted net veil edged with
several pleated frills of narrow satin
ribbon in a pale shade of ivory. The
net should be of the finest and best
quality, and the ribbon exceedingly
soft and not more than half an inch
wide.
AS to the hats displayed in our
picture the top one is soft brown
straw, whose brim is lined with black
silk. and then caught against the
crown by a big and deftly tied bow of
the same glace. This particular model
is an admirable example of the smart
simplicity which is so desirable for
morning, and travelling and holiday
wear.
The hat In the middle is a fascinat-
ing cloche hat, whose white net is pat.
termed with shadowy pink roses and
trails of wee forget-me-nots, its gagged
fulness being finally bordered by two
little frills edged with Valenciennes
lace. For its further decoration there
is tied right across the front of the
full crown a bow of pink silk ribbon
with a cluster of roses and buds in the
same lovely shade, caught in the cen.
ter with the prettiest possible effect
The third hat displayed is fashioned
of white Valenciennes net, the trans
parency of the down-dipped brim be
ing bordered with a broad band CT
black straw. over which fall the lace
edged handkerchief points of the Val
enciennes drapery yelling the crown
while then, tied in front, is a many
topped bow of the same fiimsy and
decorative fabric.

Watching the Knife Play.

There is an awful fascination
about seeing people eat with their
knives said he who has just spent
a week on the farm for this health,
with a retrospective look in his eyes
"A knife is such an unexpected in
strument. You never know just where
1t is going to strike. You can't keep
your eyes off. You are afraid to look
for fear it might slip and cut the
mouth half in two, and you are afraid
ii you don't look it might happen and
you won't get to see It,"

SLvZ/HER GOWNS.

anc skirts are copied in cheap mate
rial, so one could hardly expect the
convenient and cool jumper to escape.
For the oma with a limited pocket
book they are boons indeed.
A special point about the summer
gowns of to-day is the outline of the
waistband. The short-waisted effect
is still very popular, but We now rarely
see a waistband with a decided point
in front; the correct line is that which
circles the waist with the slightest
possible droop in front, but nothing
approaching a point.
1t is, perhaps, difficult for women
to avoid ex~aggeration, but I cannot
help regretting that the point in front
is beginning to be considered 'incor-
rect" The most becoming belt a
woman can wear is a very narrow n
which droops distinctly in front, and
which is held in place by a buckle at
the back. This belt makes the waist
look round and slender. Of course the
pointed belt has been done to death
by the misguided women who insisted
last season on wearing exaggerated
corsets of the straightforward persua-
sion, and who arranged their waist
bands in such a way that they made
themselves look, when standing up,
like ill-made dwarfs! These short
sighted persons not alone made them
selves objects of polite ridicule, they
also brought ~undeserved disgrace on
an infinitely becoming style of belt.

Mr.. and Mrs. Gates will sail from
New York about the middle Of July
and will not return until some time in
October. They will pass about a
month on a French hunting preserve.
In giving his opinion of the future
Mr.. Gates said: Financial affairs in
this country are undergoing a pro
nounoed change.
ut will not be SO long time be-
fore New York ceases to be the whole
thing financially to anything like the
extent that it is now. The western
cities are constantly growing in
financial independence. Chicago, st.
Louis, st. Paul, Omaha and other
cities have got to be reckoned with
more and more as the years go by.
