THE late coming Of warm weather
has delayed the wearing Of sum-
mer dresses, but now they are the
order Of the day, and 1t is charming
array OF them that greets the eye
everywhere one turns. What strikes
one most pertinently is the great d.
versity OF models and materials and
the originality of finishing details.
Silks and satins are quite recklessly
combined, but as the season advances
there is a call for the smart little in
expensive frocks that are all Of cotton
or linen, although, at that, many Of
them are worn over silk foundations
This is not because the foundations are
absolutely required. but because the
silk is cool and comfortable to wear.
while some Of the fabrics, like marqui-
settle, for instance, are harsh to the
touch.
Embroideries are rife and there is
much lace used with them. AS often
as possible the pattern is done directly
on the material but much also can be
done with landings, which come in all
widths, and many Of them are Of Won
derful beauty, imitation chantilly
and shadow laces are very popular. and
in their exquisite reproductions OF real
patterns are worthy OF the IaVOT aC~
credited them, but guipure. filet, cluny
and all the heavy macrames are also
used in profusion.

ferred to lace because with their use con-

effect. is attained, which with the lace

Both the cream and the white laces are
the different shades of ecru. but black
rarely finds place. except it Is for veil
ing purposes. AS for the dyed effects. it

tenets of fashion to employ them. but
they are much less in evidence than dur
ing any past season.
:. Lace is not necessarily becoming any
way and black particularly has to be
used with the greatest discretion, as the
tendency is very decidedly to add a few
years to the wearers appearance It
does. however. work in very smartly at
times, as, for instance, In connection with

that there Is hint of the color through

There is much interest in the combina-
ton Of several fabrics which are not al
together dissimilar. and yet which afford
sufficient contrast. This latter point Is
illustrated in the first figure Of the sketch,
in which fetching gown is developed In
embroidered French crepe made over

belt and lower part Of the skirt are OF
white ratine. The embroidery is done In
rose color and green and the narrow pip
ings which edge the bib and the neck are
of the two colors which are SO admirably
used together.
The French crepes, it seems. have hard
ly been appreciated before this. Certainly
they are among the best Of this season S
offerings, and, 1t Is safe to say, they will
figure in most Of the fashionable outfits
that are taken away to beach or noun
tain resorts.

q SAILORS DROWN
Steamer Florence Driven Ashore
in Heavy Fog.
FIVE OF CREW REACH PORT
Second Mate and Four Others Arrived
at ST. Johns, NJ. F., After Suffer-
ing Hardships in Open
Boat.
FIVE OF CREW REACH PORT

ST. Johns, N. F., Dec. 23.-Twenty-
two sailors lost their lives when the
freighter Florence of the Furness line
was driven ashore in a heavy fog near
Cape Race
The only survivors were the second
mate and four sailors, who were
brought in here after suffering great
hardship in an open boat The Flor
ence left Halifax several days ago and
was proceeding to st. Johns with a
general cargo.
Survivors Are Exhausted.
The survivors were so exhausted
that they were at once put in a hos
pital. They have been unable to give
their names or to furnish any infor-
nation, except in a disconnected way,
of the wreck. 1t is learned, however,
that the master Of the Florence was
proceeding cautiously in the fog, but
that he had completely lost his bear
ings, and the heavy seas slowly but
surely sent the boat on the rocks. She
filled rapidly and soon settled. All
hands took to the boats, but the
launching of them was a hazardous
task. The second mate, with four
sailors, managed to get their boat
clear of the big ship and got away,
but the captain and the remainder of
the crew were lost by the swapping
of their boats just as they touched the
water.
There had been no time to provision
the boats and the craft which the Sec
ond mate and his men used in escap-
ing was without food or water.
Drenched by the flying spray, which
chilled them to the bone, the five men
toiled desperately to keep from freez-
ing to death and to sight, if possible,
a passing boat. They stood out to
sea, fearing to approach the shore,
where the pounding Of the sea warned
them that an attempt to land might
prove fatal
Keeps Companions Awake.
The mate took his turn at the oars
with the sailors, and when not so en-
gagged busted himself by slapping and
pounding the oarsmen to keep them
awake, knowing that if they fell
asleep they would never waken.
In the dense fog the men several
times heard the sounding of fog whis-
ties on passing steamers, and once
were near enough to hear the swish
of the boats as they swept by, but the
wrecked mariners had no means OF
signaling for help
At the end of the second day, when
all were about to give up the struggle
and with their eyes nearly blinded by
the freezing spray and their hands
raw from the constant Juggling at the
oars, the party was picked up by a
passing steamer and brought here.
Ship Is Total Loss.
The wind was blowing a gale from
the southeast at the time the vessel
struck and the heavy sea soon made
a complete wreck of the hull. 1t is
learned that there will be no salvage
of the cargo.
The cargo and ship were covered
by insurance to the extent of half
million dollars.
The Florence was British steam
ship. She was of steel construction
and was built in 1889 at Sunderland.
She was 295 feet long, 40 feet beam,
with a depth of rs feet. She was
equipped with triple expansion en-
gines of the latest type and was of
$500 tons burden.
