fairs could not possibly continue and
that superb weather must crown the
seaside seasons. And this prediction
has come true, more or less. Never
has the season at Trouville opened
more brilliantly. The season at Troa.
vile is exceedingly short; lasting
bare three weeks. For this reason and
also because the fashionable place is
quite small one, the show of dress
each year is something wonderful. In
innate friends belonging to the great
worlds of England, France, America
and other countries meet each other a
dozen times in each day, on the sea
front, in the rue de Paris, at the races
or casinos.
Such constant meetings demand
constant changes of toilet, and this Is
why the season at Trouville is regard
ed so seriously from dress point OF
view.

for pale-colored linen costumes and
for tailor-made coats and skirts Of tus'
sor and shantung silks in delicate pas.
tel tints. These dainty costumes have
taken the place, to certain extent,
this year of the pure white costumes
which we are accustomed to associ-
ate with the seaside resorts.
At Trouville specially these colored
linen and tussor costumes are In full
flood of favor and they are wonder
fully charming. A clear shade Of
mauve is the favorite tint of the mo-
ment, for linen as well as for tussor,
but many pretty women make a point
of appearing in the early morning in
dainty coats and skirts In pale shell.

Capital to Get Thorough Cleansing

the same, the death rate in the zone,
the difference in population consid-
cred, is considerably less than here.
Sanitary experts express themselves
as being shocked at the conditions ex-
listing here, and in many other Amer
lean cities, after what has been &C
complished under most discouraging
conditions on the Isthmus of Panama.
They say that there is absolutely no
excuse for the prevalence of such con-
ditions, and so far as Washington is
concerned, a determined effort will
be made to eliminate them.
Government psychologists, chem
lists and experts in other branches of
science are now investigating the con-
ditions prevailing in many hotels and
restaurants, among them some of the
best in the city, and it is said that a
number of warrants will be issued for
the arrest of some of the proprietors
of these establishments. The house
cleaning is to be general and thor
ough; the nations capital will be
turned inside out, stood on its end,
and turned upside down, and the
scraping, busting, spraying and touch
ing up it will receive will be a sur
prise to the natives.

White PettIcoats Popular.

For some years the white petticoat
was not popular for day wear, and
silk petticoats were worn almost en-
tirely in their place. The general
popularity of lingerie and bingham
summer dresses has brought the white
petticoat into favor again. The most
popular white petticoats are made
with a deep flounce of embroidery, so
that there will be slight fullness
from the knees down, but none above.
The bulky drawstring or the belt with
gathers at the back is most undesir-
able, for with these it Is impossible
to have neat, trim waistline, and
slim, slender hips, and what woman is
there nowadays who does not want
these. The petticoat should be gored
and well fitted at the hips, and If you
desire any fullness at the back it
should be let in in the form of a
large, fiat plat in the center of the
back of the skirt.

VIRGINIA DROUGHT SERIOUS.
Lack OF Rain is Causing Suspension
of lndustrie

of Industries.
Pittsburg. Pa, Sept. 5.-A long con-
tinued drought in western, Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia is gradually
reaching serious proportions and the
lack of rain is causing the suspen-
sion of many industries. At Green's
burg, Pa, several plants of the III. G.
Frick Coke company have been COM
PEELED to shut down. Farmers are
hauling water for miles. Streams
which have never before been known
to go dry are so shallow that only
here and there stagnant pool is
found. This water is scooped up,
boiled and used for domestic pur.
poses.
At Johnstown, Pa, two large reser-
voirs which have supplied the city
with water, are practically dry, and
third, the Hinkston run reservoir, is
the only hope of the entire city. To-
day many homes in the central part
of Johnstown are without water.
Warnings have been issued to the
people to be as economical as pos
sible with the water and new fire
rules have been issued by the au-
thoritieS.
At Morgantown, w. Va, the large
plant of the American Sheet and Tin
Plate company has suspended opera
tons on account of the drought. Many
lumber, coal and coking industries
along Deckers creek are also idle.

POINTS ABOUT THE GIRDLE.
Care to Be Bestowed on Becoming

To those who can and will wear
wide waist trimmings, the shaped Cir
die is very becoming, but 1t must be
made to conform to girdle and not
wide belt arrangement. Frequently
the two get badly confused and moth
ing is so completely out OF harmony
with some dresses as a wide belt.
Belts are narrow, girdles wide, not of
an exaggerated depth, but enough so
to class them alone. There are
buckles purposely made for girdles.
While very plain, they are ornamen-
tai. Some are of thin white material.
The four-leaf clover in silver is a
dainty dress article also the gold oval

the aim of the experiment, and the
results are expected to be evident in

DR.. Wiley believes that the manu-

much at heart as will the bureau of
chemistry, and for this reason he is
asking each maker of babies foods
to make a report not only on the kinds
of foods sold by him, but what he

Unless the property owner takes ad-

lead manufacturers, he runs great risk
of getting an inferior and adulterated
white lead.

FOR LOVER OF FANCY WORK.
Pretty Pastime Is the Embroidering of
Cotton Umbrella.

A pretty bit of fancy work for a
young girl to attempt is to embroider
in casual way one of the large white
cotton umbrellas used by artists.
This is in imitation of the very at
tractive ones that are being brought
back by travellers from the different
parts of Italy. They do not sell them
in this country.
or course no one wants to go In for
painstaking and elaborate embroidery
on such foundation, but any girl
who is skillful with her needle can put
on a bold, effective design in long,
loose stitches, using vivid colors.
This work is done in three broad
stripes around the umbrella with a
line of plain color separating flow
cred effect. The latter is done in or
ange and black, or in red, blue and
violet, or in brown, yellow and pink.
The embroidery will not bear close
inspection, but who cares when the
effect is charming and the idea may
only last short day?
