NEW YORK FASHION LETTER.
(By Catherine Mann-Payzant.

10y Catherine MduH-F ~ Ldnl.J
New York, July 16.-Are white
gowns popular this summer? This is
a question that has been brought to
my attention, and investigation
shows that while white is still ia
vorite, the gowns worn at the fash
ionable summer resorts near New
Nk show greater percentage of
color this season than last.
One sees this summer many beau
tiful combinations of dainty pastel
stripes, and fine checks of white,
over some pale tinted ground. A
cream lace stripe gives silken eff
feet to some of the new cotton voiles
but lace stripes are seen in many ia
brics The deeper tones, such as Co
penhagen blue Ga very fashionable
shaded, raspberry pink and the dark
colors of linen are largely worn.
Time was when to speak of Swiss
was to refer to white gown, but
this summer some of the smartest
effects have been attained in colored
Swisses dotted with the same color
or a contrasting shade.
Lace is pronounced trimming
effect of the Swiss gown. Much clu-
ny lace is seen, and the idea OF bit
of black In the shape of an inset, a
collar edge. or band of piping on

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.

The Groom Was a Kansas SunflOwer
the Bride an Oregon Rose.
Spokane, Wash, July 16.-"Tm a
Kansas sunflower, and this lady is
an Oregon rose and we want to be
married in sunny old Spokane" said
Charles Eaton, formerly of Wichita,
as he introduced the bride, Mrs.
Blanche Snyder, formerly of Port
land, to Justice George w. Stocker
in the Spokane county court house.
The bride blushed prettily when Col.
Emory p Gilbert. clerk of the court
Joined her hand with that of the
groom, and Justice Stocker read the
service, adding at the close of the
ceremony
You say that you're a sunflower
and she's rose. The question now
is, what will the harvest be? May
you live long and prosper"

long coat. With heavier materials
the sleeveless coat will be used.
The short skirt is still more pop
ular for the street, and when one
considers the color and texture of
the materials now in vogue for sum
mer skirts and dresses, the fashion
is sensible one.
Long skirts that extend above the
waist line are used as house gowns
or for outside dressy wear, and it is
becoming quite the proper thing to
have coat for dress gowns as well
as with the strictly tailored short
skirted suit
The new linen separate skirts are
found with many cores, each gore
we'll welded. Such skirts are usually
in white and intended for wear with
shirtwaists of lawn, batiste or fine
linen. Duck or pique is, seen quite as
often as linen in these skirts.
An idea that carries out the full
dress design is seen in having tailor
ed waists that match any skirt to
be worn. A blue skirt may have sew
eral blue waists, one in Copenhagen
Alice or one in blue gray.

A DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR.
Miss Marie kemble Entertains with
q Watermelon Party.


One of the most delightful social
functions of the summer season was
a watermelon party over which Miss
Marie Kemble presided with queen
ly grace Wednesday evening at the
home of her parents, Nj and Mrs.
]. A. c. Kemble, on College street.
The affair was given by the charming
young hostess in honor of her cous-
in, Miss Edna Sanguinett of Fort
Worth, and Miss Winnifred Harrison
of Edgefeld. Quite a crowd of mer-
ry young people assembled to greet
the honorees of the occasion. The
natural attractiveness of the Kemble
home, which is coZily surrounded by
a beautiful lawn and shade trees,
was greatly heightened by the daz-
cling glow of profusion of electric
lights suspended here and there
among the trees. The reflection of
the lights against the grassy lawn
gave it the appearance of green vel
vet carpet. Chairs were placed on
the lawn for the accommodation of
the guests and after a season of So
cial conversation the melons were
cut and served by the hostess in her
most gracious manner. 1t was indeed
a happy occasion and Miss Kemble
acquitted herself as a dispenser of
social pleasures in way that won
the admiration of every one pres
ent, and SO loathe we're the guests
to leave that it was near the mid
night hour when they took their de-
parture The following young people
were present:

Deafness Cannot Bc Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound OF imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for sample

aged white woman near Shawnee,

to be hanged tomorrow.
The crime of johnson was but one
Of dozens that have been committed
by negroes in Oklahoma during the
last few months and which have at
times threatened to result in a gen
eral race war. In some instances
pitched battles have taken place be-
tween whites and blacks, and over
a dozen persons have been killed and
many wounded as the result Of trou-
Bile caused directly or indirectly by
the colored bad men" Of the new
state
Johnson, who Is to be executed to-
morrow, strenuously maintained his
innocence until his trial, when he
created sensation by suddenly
jumping to his feet and loudly de-
claring that he was guilty. The trial
stopped and the jury was instructed
to bring in verdict of guilty, which
1t did and added the death penalty.
The date for the hanging was origin
ally set for May %, but was later
changed to July IT.
