New Orleans.-Plans for the exhi.
1ltion OF every variety Of citrus
fruits grown in this state on Louisi-
ana Orange Day, November II, YER
discussed Wednesday afternoon at q
meeting Of the exhibition COMMITTEES.
which was named at q recent confer.
ence Of the land and immigration b.
reau Of the Association of Commerce
and the Orange Growers Association.
This committee IS comprised OF l..
c. Spencer, chairman; DR.. C. C. Buck
and ". T. Ritter. f.. l.. Gladney, chair
man of the land and immigration bu.
reau, Is at the head Of the executive
committee in charge of all details Of
the program for Louisiana Orange
Day.
AT the meeting it was decided to dis
tribute Louisiana oranges among at
OF the delegates to the convention Of
the National Brewers Association,
which will be assembled in New Or
leans at that time, and to prepare a.
tractive displays for the railroad sta
lions. hotel Hobbies and shop windows.
Every effort will be made to have Z
predominating color scheme Of orange
and green throughout the city, so that
the visitors will be impressed with
the fact that oranges are really grown
In Louisiana.
A feature of the day will be the dis
tribution of hundreds OF boxes OF
oranges by a score or more of young
women. They, as well as the oranges,
will be specially selected for beauty.
so that the distribution will make an
attractive scene that will serve to ad-
vertise the day throughout the coun-
try. The girls will be stationed at
some central point, and the announce
ment that oranges are to be given
away Is expected to draw q large
crowd. Such a scene will appeal to
the moving picture men, who will be
asked to furnish the exchanges with
films that will be shown in other
cities.
Governor Hall has been asked to
officially designate November II az
Louisiana Orange nay, and the pro.
gram committee is working out q pro-
gram that will be in keeping with the
exhibition.

REAL WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA
Botha Takes Field Against Rebels.
Battle Front Of 8 Miies-Rebei
Positions CAPTURED.

London.-Official announcements by
the South African government reveal
the fact that Great Britain has q real
wal on her hands In that part Of the
world. The seriousness Of the Boer
rebellion is shown by the announce
ment made by the official press bu-
reau of the war office in London that
Cen. Botha himself has taken com.
mand Of British troops in the field, and
that he is pursuing the rebels under
Gen. Byers, who was formerly com.
mander Of the government forces.
A dispatch from Capetown reports q
battle along a front extending three
miles. in which the British stormed the
rebel defenses and with the aid Of ar
tillery captured their positions, but
the rebel forces themselves escaped.
The story Of this fighting is pain.
fully reminiscent Of that which oc-
Cured Is years ago, when the Beers,
although greatly inferior in numbers,
outmaneuvered the British at all points
and strained the resources Of the en-
pire to subdue them.
The account states the advance was
so rapid that a few of the enemy and
several horses were captured. The
main body Of the rebels, however, got
away, they having removed their guns
early without firing a shot.
The official announcement Of the
pursuit by Gen. Botha Of his former
commander, Byers, states that the Brit.
isch troops came into touch with a
rebel commander at Rustemburg. In
the pursuit during the whole day Cen
Botha has captured 80 fully armed
rebels and several wounded. The pur'
suit is still proceeding.
It Is reliably reported that Col.
Maritz, whose treachery started the re-
bellion, was shot through the knee cap
in the fighting at Keimoes.
Andres de Wet is in command Of
the German forces. No official an.
nouncement has yet been made Of an
invasion by the Germans Of the Por'
tuguese colony of Angola, but the Por'
tuguese minister here says that such q
movement would not be surprising,
The Portuguese are making every prep
aration to defend the colony.

OF more Of British steamers, has ap-
parently shifted her scene Of opera.
tons more to the eastward to the vi
clnity Of the Straits settlements. She
was reported as having sunk q Jap
anese passenger steamer bound for
Singapore.
The Emden's entrance into the wa
tiers Of Penang was audacious. She
came III under the guns Of the fort,
and after sinking the cruiser and the
destroyer escaped through the Strait
Of Malacca. The fate Of the crew on

The Summer Blouse.

Have you noticed that we rarely speak
or read of shirt waist? In illustrated
advertisements Of readymade clothing
we see pictured some simple. washable
waists. but we learn that they are
"blouses.' There is a real distinction
though. besides the name. The blouse
may have all the engaging plainness of
the shirt waists. yet there is differ
ence. unobtrusive though decided. For
one thing, the shirt waist was always
starched. while the blouse is quite guilt
less of any stiffening whatever. unless
it be a little weak gum water. enough
only to replace the finish that gives
voiles and lawns the look of goods fresh
from the manufacturer. Even this weak
solution of gum arabic is not used for
cotton crepes. so popular this year.
Sleeves are sort of date mark on q
waist, for 1t Is here fashion begins to
make her changes. The sleeve that has
had an unusually long lease Of life Is the
kimono. Though we are willing to
change we part with 1t reluctantly and
it's immediate successors are modfflca-
tions of the same ideas: though none of
them is so easily or SO quickly made.

ROSES.

1t never will have the style of the all
black hat, but it provides a change.
Take, for example, a large hat of tur-
quoise blue tulle with small silk codrs
brim, and you have one of the best hats
worn at a fashionable reception with an
old fashioned ruff1ed gown of blue taf-
feta.
A daring novelty is a hat of pink FROST
ed chiffon worn with a black lace gown.
the touch of black on the former being
straight spires of horsehair. This ma
| terial- by the way, which we once asso-
ciated only with furniture and held IN
contempt as among the things in the
| worst possible taste. threatens to be-
come a high priced milliner's pride
| The one who should feel proud about 1t
ent use possible. To weave lace and
aigrettes from it is work worthy of a
high type of artisan. Its vogue came
along with glass flowers and aigrettes.
but while one is dead the other grows
stronger every day.
The return to roses by the milliners
was coincident with the advent of the
Victorian frocks. or rather the attempt
at them which resulted in the Moyenage
styles we now adopt. Both were English
fashions freely exploited by the French
in 1870. and it is only natural that the
designers minds should revert to them in
whole
We have materially changed the sill
houette of this type of gown since 1t was
first presented to US in February. but the
hat. which was launched late in May, is
likely to remain through the summer ex-
! actly as it is. The advent of roses in
quantity has been charged to the Amer
lean law against the purchase of torture
plumage. and also to the visit Of Queen
| Mary of England to Paris. No matter
who is sponsor for it, the choice of large
colorful roses for summer millinery is a
good one.
And be it well marked that the colors
used in these flowers are natural colors:
there is no attempt to force foolish blue
roses and purple leaves on the public.

HOT WEATHER COMFORT

When the weather is hot. the great
effort of humanity Is directed to keeping
cool. The individual can do much to in
crease his own comfort-the housekeeper
can do as much to increase the comfort
of the family in her care.
To begin with, food has a great effect
on hot weather comfort 1t must not be
too rich and 1t must not be too heavy.
On the other hand, there must be enough
of it for comfort and enough for the de-
mands of strength The man who can
egg for luncheon and chop and a cool
ing drink for dinner is not unusual. And
a very light diet Is totally out of place
for young, growing persons. Light the
diet should be, to be sure, but not of
the starvation sort advocated by some
persons. for hot weather demands strength
and strength is built up with food.
Plenty of ripe. fresh fruit, raw or
salads. salads fresh. % preferably M % broiied meats eats
and fresh fish. eggs and safe milk-few
rich pastries and puddings, cakes and
sauces. and light. cream or clear soups
instead Of heavy stock ones-such Is the
proper hot-weather diet
The house that is simply furnished is
cooler in fact and in appearance than
that full of unnecessary furnishings.
Heavy rugs and hangings are out of place
in summer and can be put away. and so
can much unnecessary furniture in the
nature of vases and photographs.
On very warm days the temperature Of
the inside Of the house can be materially
reduced If the walls and windows are
hosed with cold water.
Windows in the cellar should be
screened and left open and so should attic
windows. The circulation of air in the
cool cellar helps to cool the floors and the
circulation Of air in the attic. to which
the heated air naturally rises, helps to
drive the hot air from the house and to
cool the attic at night.
individuals in quest of GOODNESS for
themselves should so as slowly as pos
sible on hot days. An early start in the
morning for the business man means
comfortable day; for he can go slowly
to the train or trolley and he can get to
his office in time to take his daily work
little leisurely. A digestible luncheon
should be the rule. He should walk on
the shady side Of the street He should
keep hat on-better still, an umbrella
open-when he is in the sun. If he is
very hot and feels that he is too hot for
safety. he should sit down in the shade
There should be a hot weather rule to
drink plenty of cool water-not iced water
cool sponge every day is good warm
weather rule. Some one from India saws
that he used to WOO sleep in the torrid
India nights by taking a cold bath and
going to bed without drying his skin, He
suffered no bad effects from this method
what air there was felt cool as the wafer
evaporated all over his body. But it is
a method that should be tested with care.

FOREIGN FASHIONS
FOR AMERICANS
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON, June 4.-At the present
season the royal naval and military
tournament comes next in importance to
the Derby as an event of national in
terest, and our flying trip across the
channel fortunately allowed time to get
to the mammoth building known as Olym-
pia. where it is held. 1t really proved
much too good to miss.
1t was not very pleasant day, but
that never bothers an Englishman. One
gathers the impression that the English
must be almost as perennially concerned
with umbrellas as snails are with their
shells. At any rate, an appallingly vast
audience was on hand despite the rain
and fog, and every seat was taken. The
fashionable element was confined to
the vicinity of the royal box, where
the former Queen Amelia Of Portu-
gal was the guest of the day. The
review was particularly glorious and in
spring. and judging from the thunderous
applause this opinion was unanimous
Although there were many handsome
costumes on every side. the performance
proved so absorbing that there was no
time to give to sketching until it was
all over and the spectators were chatting
in bright groups in the lobby outside.

lady who wore it was evidently in

have it, she appeared again in the same
hotel we had chosen for tea and sat quite
near.
The material was chamois-colored deau-
ville and by the way of contrast there
were the underskrt and princess girdle
of black. buff and blue taffeta in Roman
striped effect.

To Bleach Lace.

II the lace on any garment is in need
of bleaching 1t should be ripped off the
blouse or gown. if possible. and bleached
separately, as a different process is need
ed to that used with white goods.
The lace should be washed and ironed.
then stitched on cotton with basting thread
and soaked for twenty minutes in olive
oil Afterward 1t should be boiled for
twenty minutes in suds of CASTLE soap
and rinsed in warm water. This will
make it beautifully white. 1t the lace
Is only slightly yellowed it may be wash
ed in strong soapsuds. rinsed and after
ward immersed in fresh suds and then
exposed to the sun The suns rays will
often do much toward bleaching lace
or other white goods
1t a thin silk summer gown has be-
come so faded that 1t looks shabby.
then it can either be dyed at home to a
pretty color or it can be bleached white.
If the latter is desired the gown should
be boiled in soapsuds to which a good
amount of bran has been added. and
then hung up in the sun to dry. A more
efficacious way of bleaching the silk and
one which is sure to meet with success is
to expose the gown to the fumes of
sulphur.
