DAME FASHION SAYS
BY MRS. KINGSLEY.
TITLE coats with square basques
are much worn. Much fantasy

TITLE coats with square basques
are much worn. Much fantasy
appears in the cut of the
basQues. Some are round, some long
reaching nearly to the hem of the
skirt, like the sash ends of a girdle-
others are pointed.
Printed and striped taffetas are
used for many of the smart frocks
for street wear.
A bright blue-and-white striped
taffeta had a very short tunic OF
bright blue mousseline de sole.
Many of these frocks are made
with long, close-f1tting sleeves and
have low collars of sheer linen or
lace. Girdles of bright-colored satin
of contrasting shade are special
feature upon most of these gowns.
Among the daintiest frocks dis
played recently designed by Rivain
were of cotton voile.
One of palest blue had narrow
pleatings of sheerest linen to trim
the collar, cuffs and skirt.
A pale rose linen gown had bands
of white linen and narrow pleated
ruffies of valenciennes lace as trim
ming.
Among the newest suits of linen
are those with white skirts and col
ored jackets.
A coat suit OF cOarSely woven In
en- had a coat of khaki-colored linen
with collar and cuffs of white. Pearl
buttons were used to fasten the coat.
Smart hats are being shown.
! large fiat model of rose-colored straw
had pleatings of dark blue tulle and
a large pink satin rose to trim 1t.
Wheat and pale yellow roses were
used to trim another stunning hat of
white straw.
At one of the shops is shown va
riety of blouses of sheer white linen
trimmed with colors.
White and ecru sheer embroidered
linens were combined with valen-
ciennes lace to fashion a charming
blouse.
The evening gowns are beautiful
blending of melting color.
Soft chiffon, net, tulle or shadow
Iaces are draped over foundations of
silk and usually have girdles of vivid
coloring. Bright blue, orange,
shades of rose and cerise are popular
Everyone admires a pretty parasol.
One of cerise taffeta had large coin
spots embroidered in white.
Coates of emerald green taffeta
are worn with lingerie dresses.

trimmed with narrow pleated ruff1es

a saucer for his boutonnere.
For a night wedding, complete
evening dress is customary-namely
claw-hammer coat and narrowish
trousers of black broadclouh, the last
garment decked at the outside seam
with a line Of narrow silk braid; a
low cut waistcoat of Powered white
silk or plain corded piQue, a white
lawn string tie around a standing
collar, white gloves and patent leath-
er pumps. But at the opera, espe-
cially in a box, white gloves may be
worn, though it is generally the fad
for the smartest men to remove their
gloves at places of amusement, keep
ing them on seeming to SAVIOR too
much to their minds of femininity.
The tuxedo coat is the privilege
only of the home, though it may
lounge about a mans club and be
seen at a dinner given by some men,
Der of the family. But it would be
as out of place as a woman's wrap
per at formal dinner, being in the
nature of a negligee, and at the thea
ter or opera it would be vulgar in the
extreme, for here the cIawhammer
coat is required by all the ethics of
taste.
At an afternoon christening the
ROQ-ldIu0I anu Obu0I male guests
wear afternoon dress with bright
boutonnieres and a gala flavor about
accessories. Afternoon dress also
goes to a funeral-morning or aft
ernoon-with the addition of black
tie and gloves, AMI when he himself
is bereaved the gentleman adds a
four or five inch band of bombazine
to his high-top hat and later wears
iron gray or black wool suits in a
coarse weave.
For those who cannot afford ali
the ramiflcations of fashionable dress
let me add two substitutes for the
things given for day weddings
If a bridegroom has a stylish suit
in cutaway coat or frocK coat form
of silver gray wool 1T is perfectly ad-
missible for the morning wedding.
He may also be married in a black
cutaway coat with gray-striped
trousers and neatly BACKED leather
shoes, but he must wear a white
boutonniere and light silk or white
silk tie,
But as the best man must dress as
nearly as possible like the bride
groom, this departure from the usual
thing-frock coats sometimes en-
barrassing, forcing the friend who is
seeing the business through to buy
the same species of get-up.
For the going-away clothes of the
bridegroom, a handsome new bust
ness suit with colored linen, finished
with white collar and cuffs, is de

The fighting began al daybreak and
at nightfall the sandy mesas between
here and Yermo, fourteen miles north,

forced back, were covered with dead
and wounded
Nearly 500 are believed 70 have been
killed and wounded on both sides. "A

equally decisive.
