New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, September 11.-Cotton- Spots were quiet and unchanged. Mid ding, 3-16c. There was little business in spots, sales being 800 bales on the spot and 800 to arrive.
 Futures opened steady and to g points down on disappointing prices in Liver- pool The governments warning of a gulf storm, together with bad weather predictions from various sections in the cotton belt, served to boost prices of active options 8 to 10 points. With no support to sustain these gains prices sold off again until the opening level was reached. But little interest was shown in the fluctuations and the market closed steady, to g points under yesterday.

Types of Evening Dresses.
The sort of evening dresses that a
bride should order will depend wholly
upon her social position. If she expects
to go to a number of dances, she will re-
quire several dresses of transparent ma.
terials like chiffon or spangled net, which,
while perishable, are not an extravaganza,
as they may so easily be mounted over
any well-cut and fitted silk or satin
princesse lining. But If the bride-to-be is
not likely to be bidden to succession of
dances. but will probably have a number
of dinners given In her honor, she should
have at least one really handsome lace
gown and another of Ottoman silk or
chiffon velvet, for 1t is a well-understood
sartorial rule that so soon as q woman
has taken upon herself the dignities Of
matrimony, she may correctly assume the
garb of an elderly dowager. On such
evening gowns there is placed a great
deal of self-colored chenille embroidery
or gold, bullion trimming in the shape of
embroidered filet lace bands, unless the
Greek ideas are carried out, In which case
the draperies, Of whatever sort, are over

There is small reason to wonder at this
reluctance when 1t Is remembered how
willingly the chemise lends itself to al
most any scheme Of decoration, and how
satisfactorily any bulk about the waist
and hips may be taken up, In tiny tucks.
The new chemises, in fact, are planned
very much on the same models as are
lingerie blouses, save that the yoke Of
the hrst-named garment begins at the
outer edge of the shoulders, and, being
of almost triangle shape, forms a point
just above the bust Into this yoke Is
tucked the skirt portion, which, in this
day OF extravaganza In trimming. may
have vertical or trellis insertions of hand
embroideries or lace. and be finished at
the bottom with rufie of matching trim.
ming. When the yoke of the chemIse Is
not elaborately trimmed with landings,
edgings or medallions 1t is OF embroidered
muslin or lace, and often appliQued with
the one trimming or the other.
Night dresses are on much the same
order as chemises. so far as their yokes
are concerned, and the larger portion of
them are made in empire effect, with
skirts so long that they sweep the thoor
at all points. In nine cases out of ten
these night robes have deeply-squared,
v'd or rounded necks and the shortest
of sleeves some OF them being mere
apologies. and virtually no more than
shoulder caps.
Every French woman wears two gar
ments when In bed. Her night dress

Lingerie Dainty Trozassea1

From time immemorial one dozen has
popularity been regarded as the correct
number Of every sort of lingerie garment
to be included in the bridal trousseau.
Often, however, this amount of plenish-
ing is multiplied by two, and even by
three, for the average girl, and especially
the one In moderate circumstances is
usually an adept at such needlework and
takes delight in preparing that portion
of her wedding outfit with her own hands.
In these days Of reliable paper patterns,
of innumerable attractive cotton and
linen white fabrics, and, above all, of
fascinating designs in trimmings, 1t is
quite possible to get up lingerie gar
ments for modest sum which are suffi-
ciently dainty and hne to have place in
the trousseau of a princess royal
Combinations Of corset cover, drawers
and skirts have made the fashioning OF
lingerie somewhat more intricate, but at
the same time there is vast amount of
labor saved in the making of such a
garment once the art Of putting the vari-
GUS sections together has been perfectly
mastered. Another point In favor of
such combinations is that not only less
cloth, but less trimming, is required. and.
consequently, the average woman feels
that she may conscientiously use the
finest Of batiste, linen or longcloth, and
sometimes treat herself to a little real
lace or some Inedallions and motifs OF
filet, Venise. or even point. With an idea
of so doing, she never neglects an oppor-
tunity to pick up a bolt Of narrow real
valenciennes here and scrap Of Cluny
elsewhere If the price is the least at
tractiye. All Of these bargains are

decollete than that worn by her American
little night jacket which matches the
gown In material and trimming, and
has long sleeves and high neck, which
adequately protects the wearer from
draughts. The nearest approach which
the American has to this garment Is the
little combing jacket which she frequent
ly wears as a negligee IN connection with
her lingerie petticoat. This petticoat Ia
another garment which the American
woman evidently has no intention of dis
carding, although she may elect to sup
plement her lingerie outfit with satin
knickerbockers In Difference to the Di-
rectolre influence.
Lingerie petticoats, however, are no
longer starched, and they are perfectly
fitted, for in this day not an inch Of
extra bulk is permissible. They are de-
veloped of the same cobwebby muslins as
are the night dresses, chemises ana COM
blnations, and In every instance trimmed
to match them. For this purpose a vast
amount of lace and ribbon is required.
for the knee-deep fiounces are immensely
wide, and sometimes interlaced through
the center as well as the top with wide
beading for the support of ribbons in
tafreta, satin or moire.
No lingerie garment Of the present de-
cade has rough edges anywhere about 1t,
for the seams are Joined with the finest
Of beading, and sometimes with narrow
laco. This involves a vast amount of la
Dor, but 1t is an age OF refinement Ia all
departments of feminine garb, and no
woman begrudges the time or money that
furnishes her with lingerie Of such fairy
like hneness.

The Black Gown.
Every woman who cherishes an ambi-
