Tor good taste was lavender and white

lar and cuffs of linen lawn. The skirt
below short ripping peplum was
side pleated in accordion effect. but
SO cleverly laid were the shallow pleats
that neither the real nor apparent

Itself perfectly to the prevailing mod

are often seen in draped dresses and
panniers. Painters, by the way, spite
OF much sturdy opposition, are having
decided influence on the fashions,
and We are all interested in watching
their evolution. Both the opponents
OF the pannier as well as it's advocates,
point with pride to the fulfilment of
their early predictions in regard to it.
In a way, both are right, for it has
not been received n the form of huge
puffs over the hps which it first ap-
peared, but it is still with us, in the
draperies which are dropped to the
knee or the bottom of the skirt. After
the long reign of the straight skirt a
return to drapery of some kind is in
evitable, for who ever before knew

Yellow, by the way, has replaced
the pink Of the early spring in the col

the variations of this daring tint. Not
every woman can wear yellow, but
those who are SO fortunate have come
into their kingdom own. The liking
for yellow has made the topaz fash

graceful and when developed in silk
muslin with the pretty striped or flow
er borders with which 1t comes, 1t
makes quaint and attractive a dress
as the most coquettish maiden could
besire. Panniers are not responsible
for all the drapery of the resent.
Many of the new skirts caught up
at side or side-front seams in folds
that are innocent of any suggestion
of panniers. These are tolerated, even
likely, by women who would unhesitat-
ingly repudiate the slightest bouffant
effect over the hips. But for the wo-
man who will have none of drapery,
there are many lovely skirts with in
set sections and lines that accent the

Such dress is represented in this

for a handsome dress at hand. But
these, with the modern flouncings In
imitation of them, have to be made up
over silk or satin, so we gladly defer
the Consideration Of that subject until
a more propitious time.
There are fabrics and frocks, how
ever, which will rouse us, and really,
considering the weather, we grow
quite enthusiastic over their beauty.
These are the dainty dresses made Of
the lovely cotton voiles, marquisettes,
mercerized batistes and many other
sheer and shimmering goods which
textile manufacturers have this year
conceded in abundance to perspiring
humanity. Now that women have dis
covered that they can be chic and
comfortable at the same time, thin
materials are having their day. Lead
ing in popularity and style are the
striped voiles like that shown In the
illustration.
This is a simply made, dainty little
gown for summer day. The dark
blue Of the pin stripe is matched In
the crystal buttons which close the
front. and the loveliest of Irish lace
is fashioned into he collar and cuffs.

It is believed that by leaving the

Admitting the futility Of smuggling

seeks a port Of entry on the Pacific

GANG or THIEVES.

Santa re. N. NJ Aug. 21.-That a
well organized and unusually bold
gang Of horse thieves is operating in
New Mexico and that its operations
extend to nearly all sections Of the
state, is the announcement made by
the mounted police office here today.
Within the past few months the state
police have been informed that more
than two hundred valuable horses
have been stolen in various localities.
In almost every instance, the very
best horses on each ranch nave been
taken. One bunch OF mares with
colts, twelve in all, was reported
missing from a Valencia county ranch
yesterday The officers are now bus
ily at work on the trail Of the horse
thieves and expect to run them down.
The headquarters Of the gang have
not been found but they are believed
to be in a mountainous section Of the
state and many miles from a railroad.
The similarity Of the thefts lead TO
the belief that the operations Of the
gang are directed by one or two men
and the police viii try to find the
leaders and arrest them.
