gerie waists for all occasions and
with all manner of exposures.
new idea for an evening waist
was a fine silk net, in light mode
shade, with satin flowers in natural
shades, appliqued on the wrong side.
Again other net waists are bound or
strapped with satin. silk or panne
velvet folds, and covered buttons and
fancy clasps are used.
The nuns veilings and de1aines of
a fine patterned variety are liked for
summer dresses and the plain sorts
in cream and white are favored for
skirts and shirtwaist suits.
Laces have lost none of their pop
ularity and in every shopping tour
one sees some new variety for the
lace makers are searching the muse
ums, old converts and pattern
sources for a renewal of ideas in
their art. Wide bands, some plain.
some embroidered and jeweled are
used upon the new hats having high
crowns.
Fine thin figured shantungs are
being used for summer waists In
nearly every case they are made with
yoke or guimpe. and the plain kinds
are OFTEN seen In the tallOreu WalStS
for travelling or business.
There are few of the new waists
that are not made with a guimpe or
yoke or that effect. The waist will
be made over lining. and the round
ed deeply cut U-neck is highly deco
rated about its edge. The waist is
laid in deep tucks under a girdle.
Graduated frills wide on the top of
the shoulder and narrow near the
waist are applied over the sleeves
which are of the same material as
the yoke.
A feature of the new waists is the
point of having the back exactly the
same as the front. Especially is this
true in the jumper and princess
dresses. the back is laid in the same
fashion. the same amount of trim
ming must be used, indeed it would,
except for the ornamental clasps, be
hard to tell which was back and
which was front.
Many white dresses will be trim
med with cretonne.
Sleeves and shoulder capes are
more trimmed than ever.
Lace covered buttons or buttons in
imitation of lace are the newest
thing.

DECREASE OF IDLE
CARS Is CHEERING REPORT.
lspecial to The sentlnel.N

New York, June IA decrease
of over 22,000 in the number of idle
freight cars during the latter half OF
May is shown in the fortnightly re-
port of the American Railway assoc
iation just issued, but dated May 81.
On that date thore were 3S1,779 idle
freight cars against 404,375 on May
13, the date of the previous report.
This makes the second consecutive
decrease lin idle cars, the previous
report having shown reduction of
about 5000 cars from the maximum
of i13.33S, reached on April 20.
This latest decrease was due TO the
transfer of at least 40 per cent or
about 5000 idle ears, to the shop
list, indicating that the railroads have
begun to repair a larger number of
idle freight cars, but it is not to be
inferred that the actual increase in
traffic has been sufficient to require
the use of all these cars. A further
large part of the decrease is explain
ed by the fact that the gradual re-
sumption of bituminous coal mining
has called back into service a good
many coal cars which were made idle
by the suspension of work few
months ago. The number of idle
box cars did not vary materially dur
ing the last half of May.

Especial to The SentinelD
BY Cath herine Mann-PayZant

New York City, June 11.-New
York shops are now mass of light
materials for summer wear, and
whether the tastes and purse of the
feminine shopper are of Newport or
Coney Isle, new and novel designs of
fabrics are not lacking for the ward
robe.
Among women who must count the
cost of their expenditure for gowns,
one of the cotton fabrics which is at
tractive and most deservedly popular
is cotton voile. A summer gown of
this material is inexpensive and, If
properly made, an esthetic and artis-
tic delight. Many new patterns of
these goods show lace striped effects,
and plaids, checks and spotted de-
signs are to be found in charming
profusion.
The batistes are no, new except in
designs and more beautiful finish
than has been evident in these goods
in former years. they vie with the
novelty Swisses for dainty evening
dresses. For wear over these soft
dresses nothing is a better protector
than a pongee coat or cape very full
with wing sleeves. The natural col
ored pongee is most favored.

The lingerie blouse is more sheer
and delicate and more decorative
than ever, but then the lingeri
blouse has been assigned TO its prop

the dressy tailored suit or at informal
evening affairs. Never must it be
seen with the severe morning suit.
Short sleeves are the distinctive fea-

some of them seem to have nothing
