GOWNS FOR BRIDES.
Froneh Idea Which Is Gaining
Ground Hero.

The giving OF gowns to tho bride
has become II fancy of the French
which we In this country Will do well
to adopt. On the occasion of the mar
rlagc of the niece OF the Baron Robert
de Rothschild the bride received
many gowns. most of which were put
up in boxes In pattern design. In CIV
Ing bride gown for wedding gift
care should be taken to select some
thing that will hold its style, for the
gift should be one that can always
be used, like the wedding gown, and
that Will not be outlawed In n season
or two. Velvet satin and chiffon are
of the durable varieties In that they
hold their style WELL
In the wonderful trousseau Of the
Duchess de Chaulnes there was one
grown which was given to her by one
of her Paris relatives to be. 1t was
gown In n marvellous shade Of silk,
something between strawberry and
pink. And 1t was worked by hand
In small flowers Of the same shade
The border or trimming-for 1t was q
pattern gown-was old lace with de-
Sign worked in silk In n pale shade of
strawberry.
The woman of simpler means who
may want to give the bride a gown
as wedding gift can pin her faith
to tGffetn of the new lustrous variety,
or she can choose one of the brown
lowered foulards with a plain border
These hold their style we'll and are
very fashionable year after year.

The Latest Couture,

a high dressing Is still accounted the
essence Of smartncss, and the favoritc
disposal of. the moment takes the form
Of curls and loosely disposed coils with
soft tendrils about the forehead, while
parting Is usually indicated little
to the left side of front. Large onduics
are the order Of the day, and the POM
padour Is allowed to droop considera-
bly, over the brow, while the back IL
taken up with sharp sweep. and the
sides rolled back in graceful and be-
coming fashion.
The ingcnue is faithful to her low
dressing. but in lieu of that atrocious
all round pompadour, held In subJec-
ton by three combs, the hair Is parted
in the center or q little to the left and
pulled out and rolled back at the sides,
when pair of fancy combs come into
prominent requis1tion. The remainder
OF the hair Is then twisted into a fig
ure of eight coil low down in the napc
of the neck, the inevitable fine hair
net keeping all in order, aided by two
large round headed pins, or some girls
dispense with these and elect to don
large black silk bow placed at the
top of the coil.
Tortoise shell pins and combs form
invaluable adJuncts to the modern
couture. In fact. it is quite unusual
to see head unadorned with these
useful and ornamental details. Ere
quently for evening wear these are
augmented by sprays of sequin leaves,
birds and wings, while flowers and
maidenhair fern are still permitted a
place, though tinsel fancies strike the
more advanced note.

Bodice Accessory,

For summer frocks of sprigged mus
lin, spotted foulnrd or lowered lawn
the most attractive trimming to the
bodice would be wide bretelles of flet
lace, bordered on either side with n
band OF pale satin colors, cut on the
cross and matching in tone the pat
tern on the ground work of the ma
terfal.
A set of trimmings such as these,
hemmed with silk or satin in different
coiorS, would form a most useful adj
Junct to dress of spotted or plain
white muslin, and If waist belt and
nat were chosen to match completely
different aspects could be given to the
original simple dress at q minimum

has usually been reserved for those who glOrify
food with French titles. fine linen and high
prices, The humble dispenser Of provender has
been allowed to 90 his obscure way with his
often obscure dishes, the idea being that money
should be fame enough for him. 1t is a well
come sign of progressive justice, then. to find
one distinguished Johnny Meehan, distributor
Of baked beans and other quick feed sundries,
being banqueted and bouqueted on his fftieth
birthday by many eminent New Workers.
It is significant that the celebrants were emf

that the stomach is the official organ Of democ-
racy. Differ as men may in ambitions and
ideals, when 1t comes to food they have common
interests, and often common tastes. very
wise philosopher has observed that this is the
reason why strangers may most easily DO

coyCEALING PESTILENCE.

Having been the first to make known not only
TO this public but to the responsible authorities
Of this municipality the presence OF number
Of cases of typhoid fever in the very heart OF
the Crotch watershed, The Tribune has this
morning another and no less important chapter
To add to the record. As related elsewhere in our
columns. it is in brief that during the last two
months there were numerous cases OF typhoid
fever among the wOrkmen employed on the Cross
River Dam, connected with this citys water
works; that at least four of the patients were
brought to this city for treatment in at least one
well known hospital here, the last Of them being
discharged as recently as the day before yester-
day. and that-for reasons which we prefer TO
leave to speculatiOn-this exceedingly grave and
menacing state of affairs was concealed not only
from the general public. but even from those
very officials Of the Health and Water depart
ments who should have been informed of it at
the earliest moment
Just how many other cases Of typhoid there
may have been among those wOrkmen on the
city's waterwOrks and in how many other hos
pitfalls Of this city they may have been received
and treated, does not at this moment appear.
But that four cases could thus have occurred
and thus have been disposed Of without either
the Health Commissioner or the Water Commits
sioner being Informed Of the fact bespeaks an
astounding misconceptiOn Of duty on the part OF
somebody. There was reprehensible derelic-
ton somewhere such as should be promptly and
sharply corrected if the sanitary guardianship
OF the city is TO be effective.
