FASHION LETTER I
BY Catherine Mann-PayZant. I
NEW YORK


New York.-The lingerie gown is
the all-important gown now that the
warm weather has come upon US; in
fact, there is a distinct craze for it,;
and while the lingerie gown has seen
several seasons of leadership it is still
in the field and the reason is quite
obvious, for it is the dressiest mode,
capable of many changes and withal
very cOol-the most suitable warm
weather dress.
1t might be thought a difficult mat
ter to find either new models or de-
signs, but the stores fairly TEEN with
new ideas. Moreover the lingerie
gown may be found in all sorts Of pat
terms, some with little or no elabora
tion and entirely suitable for morn
ings or occasions where a plain gown
is the appropriate mode; or it may
be of a grade as fine as a gosamer
and beautifully ornamented with lace
and embroideries and all sorts Of fine
stitchery.
The lingerie gown has the great
advantage of cleaning easily or laun-
dering well and may be done over and
over again. This season the fashion
Of colored Innings makes it possible
also to get a complete change Of et-
feet, which should be added to the
white slip provided.
The idea Of different sets Of ac-
cessories should never be forgotten,
as with a soft lavender or blue slip
a belt and a few bows to match, or
with pink a pretty sash Of Dresden
showing much pink in it and a corai
necklace two pretty changes are
effected
Lace Gowns Popular.
Part Of all-lace gowns are a feat
ure Of this summers modes and often
two or more laces are combined in
the same frock. The lace gown is al
ways a dressy one and never appro-
pirate for the street or for morning
wear.
irish lace seems to still retain it's
hold upon popular fancy. and it is
used in combination with chiffon
bands to form the gown, indeed the
chiffon and Irish lace gown is more
becoming than the all-lace gown az
this lace is particularly stiff and harsh
next the face.
Valenciennes is liked better by
many than Irish lace and gowns Of !
the same combination with chiffon or /
fine batiste are becoming. while Span !
ish lace is used frequently upon green /
silk gowns
There Is o decided trimness in the |
fit of AN gowns for young girls this |
season and even in the separate bod
ices there is little blouse in front:
IN the back and on the sides the waist
must be held down smooth and flat
under the belt.
Taffeta batiste is a material that is
akin 10 the lingerie effects
when done up with laces and EN-.
broideries. This material is reserved
for the afternoons and while the
white effects are charming those in

New Lawns Attractive.

Some of the new lawns with en-
broidered borders when made up over
colored slips are very attractive for
afternoon dresses and also make pret-
tv dancing frocks for the summer re-
sort. l saw a gown the other day,
very fetching and easily developed. At
big sale of embroideries a piece of
flouncing deep enough for a skirt had
been found which was tucked finely
at the top fitting closely over the hips
and falling plainly in its long lines to
the feet. This lip was in white cot
ton messaline a beautiful soft mate
rial for this use. The waist was
made over a bodice lining which really
amounts to nothing more than a sup
port about the waist. The embroidery
had been draped in surplice fashion
back and front with under arm por>
tions and bit # the embroidery for
a shallow yoke that filled in the V
formed by the surplice. The sleeves
were shaped by the two seams with
two edges Of the embroidery coming
at the top Of the arm and laced to-
gether with a tiny white silk cord.
French Linen Gowns.
Another gown-worn at one of the
large affairs here-was Of a very fine
French linen of beautiful texture and
weave. The skirt was plain and Of
many cores which were joined with a
big embroidered line that resembled a
cord having first been padded. The
upper part Of the bodice was orna-
mented with a close pattern Of eye
let embroidery the waist resembling a
bclero laid over chiffon under waist
and an embroidered belt deep as a
handhreH3th with deep scallops COVE
the waist the effect Of the Empire
around the low neck and under the
edges Of the embroidered sleeves fin,
ished in scallops also were bands of
blue silk. Needless to say the figure
must be slight to wear this.
No material aems to serve 50 many
purposes as pongec. One may secure
. rather coarse grained variety Of the
natural color and with white collar
and cuffs a most serviceable morning

Three years ago there was fear that con.

necessary for continuing the usefulness of the

were in dense ignorance about the things that
the naturasts of the survey were doing for
the good Of the country These field workers
save the country millions Of dollars annually
and yet at times in the past they have had
a hard time to get the patry $4,000 appro-
priation needed to keep the survey alive. This
year the scientists were given about $4,000
additional TO carry on their work. The money
was secured after DR.. Merriam, the surveys
chief. had made a strong appeal.
When it was feared that no appropriation
at all was to be made for the survey three
years ago by the members Of the Fifty.ninth
congress, news of the fact that the depart
ment might pass from its sphere Of usefulness
was sent through the country by the Wash
ington correspondents. The response was in
slant. The mails were loaded with letters Of
protest from every state and territory. The
chief of the survey had letters Of support and
the members OF congress heard in protest
from hundreds of people who no one sup

The tendency OF women to high-heeled

VI irrigation for help in checking
the damage done to bitches by bur
rowing animals. One gopher hole
in an embankment caused loss Of
$4,000 and in many places irriga-
ton was almost impossible because
OF the undermining work done by
small animals. The work of the
burrowers made way for the water
which by the erosion process did
the rest. The scientists OF the bio
logical survey, after experimenting,
taught the men interested in irri-
cation how to protect themselves

beasts that work in darkness"

rels Of the far west and northwest.
The annual damage that these AMI
mails inflicted on growing crops was
enormous. The biological survey
worked out plan for the extermi-
nation of the squirrels, a plan that
brought success.
One OF the labors Of the scientists
OF the survey has been to show the
different states how the full bene-
Ats of game protection may be OBJ
tanned and how the game in each
state may be made to yield an i'm
portant annual revenue. Illinois
alone, as direct result OF informa'
ton received from the biological
survey, has added to its income an

Senate Decides Not to Make Any
Public Document of their Tariff
Investigations.

WASHINGTON. April 2.--The sen

1t would hold no formal hearings, that

by republican members during their
consideration of the tariff bill, should
not be printed and issued as public
document. With this assurance dem-
ocratic members who were present at
the meeting today were satisfied.
mere was no discussion of rates or
schedules. Senator Aldrich explained
that work was being done by the re-
publican members necessarily unof-
fetal because there is no tariff bill
vet before them and cannot be till the
house sends it over.
1t is understood that the maximum
and minimum features of the Payne
bill will be altered and broadened by
the Aldrich committee. The plan
which Aldrich is working on, would
have the general rates of the bill, as
finally passed. apply as the minimum.
These are to remain in effect for one
year. at the end of which time the
maximum rates which are to be ap-
proximately twenty per cent higher
are to go into effect against all coun-
tries that discriminate against United
States products. There is then to be
further provision whereby the presi-
dent will be authorized to grant mini
mum rates to such countries in return
to adequate concessions made by them.
