DRESS FABRICS FOR SUMMER.
Weaves in Wool and SILK Fabrics Also
Seen in Cotton Dress Goods.

Lines of cotton wash dress fabrics
less, says the Boston Transcript. Prac-
tically every weave in wool and silk
fabrics is also seen in cotton dress
goods. Large retail establishments
here are showing extensive lines Of
fine domestic and imported goods.
Gray shades are very prominent in
all printed fabrics, such as gray lawns,
organizes, etc. Elaborate ShoWings
are made of imported ginghams with
border patterns, the ground work OF
the fabric having striped and plaid de-
signs. These goods are to be seen in
gray, lavender, pink, tan, blue and
very light shades of green. Shirt
waist suits for morning wear are seen
in Scotch tartans and all descriptions
of novelty plaids. The fact that many
of these novelty patterns cannot be
duplicated in cheap lines has created
elusive trade. and sales for early wear
have been remarkably heavy.
Pattern robes and dresses in en-
broidered cotton goods are shown by
all high class shops in whites and col
ors. Colors are being used in the en-
broideries to a much greater extent
than last year. Last season an effort
was made to introduce cOlorS in en-
brOidered gowns, but was only sue
cessful in a few of the highest priced
imported goods.
Colors are also seen in the lingerie
costumes, border designs or insertions
embroidered in delicate colors being
shown Among the most attractive
lingerie costumes on the market are
those in shades of pink, lavender, gray
and blue. the whole costume being of
one shade. Visitors at winter resorts
in the south are showing a decided
preference for colored lingerie effects.
For waist patterns there has been
more or less of a return to the striped
shifting effects so popular year or
two ago, with hand embroidery play
ing an important part. The regulation
bosom plat embroidered in polka dots
and small tucks coming from the
shoulder to the bust line, with stitch
ings on the tucks showing scattered
dots of the embroidery, have been
taken up by the ultra fashionable set
to quite an extent.

Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton of the British
army wrote the evening after one of
the great battles which he had wit
messed between Russians and Japa-
nese in the recent war in Manchuria:
"To bed! Although it is with re-
luctance that l p. epare to lose my grip
of the exciting consciousness that |
have today seen the most stupendous
spectacle that it is possible for mortal
brain to conceive-ASia advancing,
Europe falling back; the wall of mist
and thewriting thereon" Then as to the
meaning of this retreat of Europe be-
fore advancing Asia: 'The more
think the more certain l am that it
was not strategy or tactics, or arma-
ment or information, which won the
battle of Liaoyang for Oyama, but that
1t was rather the souls of the Japanese
troops which triumphed over the less
developed, less awakened less stimu-
lated qualities Of the Russians"

1t was decided by the justice of the

remanded. This went on until the
case came back to the squire for the
eleventh time.
1t was jury case, and when the
last trial was on the squire aston.
ished the attorney by announcing an
indefinite postponement, saying:
This case has exhausted the
whole jury venire of the county, and
you will have to wait until the coming
generation gets old enough for jury

''May the calm eve
Of Easter leave
A peace divine with thee

Mothers with little children always
have Easter eggs to color. An easy
and satisfactory method is to use the
anilene dyes that come especially pre-
pared for this purpose. Ii directions
are followed there will be good results
The name and date, which will greatly
delight the child, may be written on
the egg with pointed stick dipped in
melted lard before placing in the dye
stuff. When removed all will be col
ored except the writing.
By the way of variety, paint some
of the eggs with gold and silver paint
dip others in a solution of gum-arablc
and then in diamond dust, wrap some
in colored calico that is warranted to
fade and boil for half an hour This
way was about the only method known
to our grandmothers for decorating
the annual eggs. "Calico" eggs and
those colored a vivid magenta by the
use of cochineal were very dear to
childish hearts "a long time ago.
Baskets may be arranged in nest
form by using tissue paper cut in fine
strips: all sorts of dainty receptacles
may be concocted from boxes, crepe
paper and bottle of paste. Children
love these preparations, SO let the lit
tie ones have share in planning for
this beautiful festival season.
Eggs for breakfast on Easter are
served as a matter of course. This
wear let each one choose how his or
her egg is to be cooked. Only a little
more time will be consumed and much
will be added to the interest of the
meal. For a centerpiece have large
nest filled with colored eggs and
spring flowers.
