Embroidered net, the background pale
cool shade of pink, blue green, mauve or
corn color, and the embroidery worked in
tones delicately contrasting with the net,
is charming for summer evening wear.
The gowns completely diamante, or
studded with rhinestones, are most of
them heavy net, but chiffon and also lace
are frequently added to in this manner.
Crystal and rhinestone are in fact seen
on practically all the more elaborate bali
dresses. whether the gown it-clf he of
heavy satin or sheerest silk net Pearl
bead trimming is also fashionable and,
indeed, there is no trimming so ecoming
or so effective as n combination of rhine
stone and pearl bead work. and this no
matter what the material which is thus
embellished
Net and Lace Gowns.
In spite of this renewed popularity of
net and lace gowns, the long 5o-called
spangled and embroidered robe gowns
are not smart. The new embroidered net
dresses are more draped about Il silk lin
ing than hung directly over it, and this
effect it is impossible to obtain in the robe
pieces which are so alluring and, owing 10
the poor quality of the net employed IN
tie most costly of them, such ill advised
Investments.
Gold and silver are frequently worked
in with the different designs in pearl and
rhinestones, and the gold thread embroid-
Iery is peculiarly effective against the
white of the stones.
Satin, or rather a soft, satin finished
silk, is far more effective foundation for
a gown of net or lace than is taffetl or
any dull silk. which tends to deaden the
/ finish of the lace or embroidery. The
underskrts are as much more voluminous
in comparison with the petticoats of last
winter as are the skirts of the gowns
themselves. Rufiles of lace or silk Just
covering the hem are seen again in many
of the Innings of the new dresses.
| Perhaps the greatest point of contrast in
the smart ball gowns for midsummer and
those of the winter season IS in the colors
Last year dark colOrs were much in evil
dence-deep grays, brilliant tones of rose
pink and numberless shades of dark blue
and green. This summer, on the other
hand, pale shades, are much more numer-
Gus, with all white relieved by gold or silver
trimming in predominance. There are
occasional gowns of palest silver gray with
touch of pink or flesh color at the cor
sage, and these costumes are most charm
| ing Black, which lately has not been so
much worn in the evening as other dark
shades, is, however, returning to vogue.
and the gowns of black chiffon draped ever
satin of some unusual shade are bound to
be singularly effective.
Heavy corded moire is a material that
will be seen this autumn. but this silk is
somewhat warm for midsummer. Satin
finished crepe de Chine of heaviest quality,
elaborately embroidered in gold or in ORR
entail colorings, is also effective, and this
ever useful texture is returning to vogue
with the recent change in the fashions.

" N attractive blouse of white null
IA is trimmed with a braiding of white
= soutache. This braiding is most at
tractiye on a thin background. The
bodice is given a touch of color by the
elbow ribbons, belt and chou of cerise
ribbon. The little guimpe is made of the
null, slightly fulled and finished with a
row of lace at the neck. Beneath this
there is a shirred band of the null, and
then the lower part of the bodice is gath
cred into a knot in front, which is fin
ished with the chou. The joining seam
of the sleeve and the bodice is hidden by
a band of insertion.

The fronts are turned back from th'
oulder seam to the bottom of the coat
and this turned back band is trimmed from
the bust line to the waist BY three cross
bands of ball fringe placed at equal in
teryas The coat has very large pockets
and beneath these three narrow panels OF
tucking each one { which ends in round
ornament of braid,
The skirt is plain. The belt is at
tacbed to the skirt and is quite wide and
bordered on each edge with braid, The
waist worn with this suit is made of fine

pretty folds of satin and chiffon. Although
many models now show the skirt fairly
long in front and on the sides, graduating
easily toward the centre of the back,
other skirts, again, have the front anu
side breadths just touching the ground,
while the Hat back breadth is left 50 long
as to be fiat and square on the ground TO
u depth ofte" of thirty six inches.
While the new skirts can scarcely be
said to flare about the feet, there Is, at
any rate, difference of yard or more
material at the hem of the skirt than
was thought possible year ago. Trimmed
skirts are also seen again III the new
evening models, the bodice on many
gowns being comparatively simple, while
on the skirt is displayed great wealth
of hand embroidery. spangled and rhine,
stone trimming and ornaments of all
kinds.
The correct length and dth IF sleeves
for ball gown is at the moment much
discussed question. On many evening
bodices the sleeve is a mere cap of lace
fitting close to the arm and scarcely five
inches in depth. and others boast only of
shoulder strap of velvet or perhaps large
rhinestones, while n tiny ruffie of lace
falls across the arm below the shoulder
and quite separate from the rhinestone
strap. Then, again. there is a half length
sleeve of lace or chiffon quite plain and
Hat, while from underneath the arm falls
long scarf of lace, giving the impression
of one of the angel sleeves of few years
ago reversed. True angel sleeves areI
also to be seen on the new gowns. one
most elaborate costume of rhinestoneI
studded lace having for its sleeves deept
folds of chiffon caught in at the shoulder
and again at the elbow, but so wide as tOl
he in Iii, Il
or dancing Every one of the new sleeves
is flat at the top and against the arm,
the narrow shoulder line thutI
is still decidedly in favor.

BY A. T. ASHMORE.

& ATTN, costly lace, embroidered crepe
de Chine, spangled net, figured chif-
fon-these are the fabrics from which
midsummer ball gowns are fashioned. By
very young girls only are worn nowadays
the simple evening dresses of organdle or
mousseline de sole which, trimmed with
dainty frils of lace, used to be SO charm
ing and, above all, so essentially appro-
pirate for summer wear. The summer
ball gown of to-day differs from its coun-
terpart of the winter season only in those
lines and designs which ever varying
fashions have brought about. The change
is in degree. not in kind, in other words.
Not for n moment, however, need d
woman imagine fondly that with a little
refurbishing her last winters evening
dresses will carry her nicely through the
summer and she be saved just so much
bother and expense. Far from it. There
has been just sufficient change of fashion
during the last few months to be most
aggravating. At first glance the newest
models may not strike one as being con-
spicuously different from anything hither-
to seen, and not until a last spring gown
is donned will it be evident that in every
essential detail there is some fault, tritling
in itself, perhaps, but sufficient to mark
the dress as out of date.
Increased Width of Skirt.
The chief point of difference in the new
fashions over those of few months
back is in the increased width of the skirt
and ain accompanying smaller waist line.
While street and afternoon dresses re-
main, comparatively speaking, short, all
ball gowns, on the other hand, show
decided length of train. This fuller skirt,
with its soft sweep Of material at the
back. does away to a great extent with
the exaggerated perpendicular lines>that
have been so eagerly sought for, while
save in some of the period dresses" the
waist line is in more normal position than
hitherto. After all, no ball gown can be
really ~ective without a generous fall
of train, which. whether it is held up in
dancing or allowed to swing out grace
fully on the ground shows up equally
well great width of handsome embroid.

been much in evidence lately, but once

to silk foundation the lace gowns are
mere broad bands of insertions, perhaps
two feet or more in width, and draped
about the figure in curiously Oriental
yet graceful manner. The silk and satin
foundation of the dress has over it a
gown of chiffon or mousseline de sole so
that the effect of the dress is one of lace
and chiffon combined. since the lace drap-
ing does not completely cover the lining.

A FINE GOOSE HUNT
 WAS THIS ONE.

No doubt two of our amateur sportsmen (. w. Wesner and l. M. Bennett. of Langford, Ark. have made the big goose kill of the season. and perhaps one of the best killings eyer made on the Arkansas river. In ! hours they #bagged seventeen wild geese out of 22 shots. After famil- iarizin2 themselves with the flight of the geese from the rice fields on the south end of the prairie to the river, they consealed themselves on the 'fly-Way' and made the big kill.

In the parlor the colors were carried out with Bride roses and violets and this room was especially attractive. Pro- gressive euchre was the game of the afternoon and proved to be most in teresting and was hotly contested. The scorers were Miss Olivia Alexander.

Orange Tariff May BE Cut

Fears have been expressed that the
ways and means committee, which
has under consideration in the pres
ent Congress the revision of the tar
if, will order a reduction of the tar
iff on oranges that may work hard
ship to Florida growers Of citrus
fruits. The present tariff on oranges
and lemons is not a prohibitive one
by any means. 1t does not keep out
the oranges from Mexico, Jamaica
and Cuba, in whose favor there is al
ready a ten per cent reduction from
rates applying to other countries.
News comes from California that
it is certain that a general reduction
of ten per cent will be recommended
on citrus fruits, which will, as mat
ter of course, encourage their impor-
tation from foreign countries to a
much larger extent than ever before,
especially as in Mexico and Cuba the
industry is rapidly growing and larg-
er groves are being planted each
year.
The people of Florida will rely up
on their representatives in congress
to use their best endeavors to pro-
tect the interests of the citrus fruit
growers of this state by maintaining
the present duties if possible.

Don't Be Misled

The retail druggists of this country,
as a class, are noted for their high stand
ard of intelligence and honorable deal
ing, but it is a well known fact that &C.
casionally you will find one who will try
to sell you something else when you call
for a remedy of established reputation.
He forgets that your health is more i'm
portant than his pocketbOok.
For example, when you ask for DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder remedy, don't let any
druggist, drug clerk or storekeeper per-
suade you into buying something else in
its place. Every time he succeeds in
selling you worthless substitute he
makes more profit, but you are humbug-
ged at the expense Of your health.
For many years we have watched
withinteresttmuch the remarkable rec
ord maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. From the very beginning the
proprietors had so much confidence in it
that they invited everyone to send for a
free sample bottle so that people could
judge of its great curative value in even
the most distressing cases of kidney,
liver and bladder troubles.
On another page of this paper you
viii find few of the letters, prompted
by feelings of heartfelt gratitude that
are constantly coming to DR.. Kilmer &
company. No one can doubt such sin
