Battle of Seven Years, War.

One hundred years ago about thiI
time the fighting which had been car
ried on for some time between The
French army under Marshal Soult ant
the invading army from the south, th'
latter composed Of the British and al
lies in command Of Lord Wellington
eliminated in great battle near thu
ancient city of Bayonne, in southern
France. Marshal Soult having draw
out all his troops from Bayonne, at
tackled the right wing Of the allie'
army. which brought on general enl
gagement and ended in the defeat o
Soult. who retreated with about 40
900 men in to Bayonne, with the los
of upward of $500 men. The British
loss amounted to between 5000 ant
1000 killed and wounded. One montl
later the British army invested Bay

months the French made sally an

that the present styles are exception
ally graceful
Thin muslins, nainsooks, and
cambrics make up the body of the
garments. Much beading is used to
carry the ribbons which make gay the
several pieces.
In the midst of winter, when eve
nings are long and days are most
comfortably spent in the house, I'M
derwear for the coming summer
should be made up. In fact, the bulk
of the summer sewing can be done
long before the clothes are needed
Spring goods are on display in Jan
uary, and by the first of February
styles for the coming spring and sum-
mer are fairly well settled.
A night dress of cambria and Val
lace is shown in the picture.
The yoke and very short sleeves
are In one and made of Val in
sertions. There are two patterns
of lace, the rows sewed togeth-
or. The kimono sleeve portion may
be heightened by adding rows of
insertion. A narrow edging fin
ishes the opening at the neck, and
wider edge in the same pattern fin
ishes the sleeves.
The rows of lace may be whipped"
together, that is, sewed edge to edge
with short overcast stitch, or sewed
on the machine.
The yske is joined to the skirt OF
the gown by narrow band Of en-
broidered beading. Through this a
ribbon is run, which ties at the front
in a small bow. This ribbon serves
to adjust the gown to the figure.
FOR such pretty night robes, sepa-
rata bows and rosettes OF ribbon are
provided. They are to be pinned on
with very small safety pins. Little
rosettes for the top of the sleeves.
matching the other ribbons, but
without hanging ends, may be added
by way of elaboration

IF you wish to busy yourself pre-
1 pairing for the coming spring and
summer, you can be assured of the
success of certain new styles in ad-
vance. 1t is wise to be ready for the
season which lures us out of doors,
and to make the most of it.
Here Is the sweetest of summer
gowns, made of silk muslin and lace
with a fichu and belt of satin rib
bon. Similar gowns are on display
made of a variety of materials. There
are embroidered cotton crepes, first
OF all. Nets, with fiounces edged with
lace, embroidered crepe de chine and
voiles. But always lace and more lace.
Point d'esprit net is found very use
full and fine Powered voiles, lawns and
batiste.
Among the handsomest of gowns
are those of white net showing fiounc-
ings of the net edged with narrow
black chantilly lace. Others of sheer
cotton crepe with fold of black maline
laid under the edge of fiouncings.
Much hand embroidery appears on
the gowns or crepe, wolfe, etc. But
1t is Of kind that does not try the
eyes. Long sprays of flowers of mod
crate size-like the carnation, for ex
ample-are done with heavy floss in
long bold stitches. The effect is beau
tiful. The gowns are in white OF
pale colors White is the loveliest
and the light colored underslip with a
lace-trimmed petticoat of net worn
under these gowns is beautiful
1t would be hard to find a simpler
or prettier model than that shown in
the picture, for fiounced gown. The

Switzerland Nearer to Italy.

Another scheme is on foot to short
en- the journey between Switzerland
and Italy. A group of Swiss capital
lists and engineers has advanced a re.
quest to the authorities for a conces-
sion to build a railway on the left
bank Of the Lake Of the Four Can
tons. The line, which will cost about
e1,040,000, will shorten by nearly
nine miles the distance between
Lucerne and F1uelen, eliminating the
present deviation to Goldau and pass
ing by Alpnach-Stad, Buochs and
Treib. When this branch is opened
and the new Hauestein tunnel finished
the journey from Basic to Milan will
be shortened by about 40 minutes.

design, too, is appropriate to older
women, as we'll as to the youthful
wearer. In fact, the difference in
fiounced gowns for young or older
wearers is discernible in finishing
touches, rather than in design. The
foundation skirts are plain and
straight. The founces are adjusted
in differing poses. Sometimes, as In
the gown pictured, they sag toward
the back, but in a good number this
is reversed and they rise toward the
back.
The waist line is about the normal
In most of them. While waists are
draped, these are set in sleeves as
well as drop shoulder and kimono eff
fects. Ribbons are conspicuous, and
the tango" shades, warm nasturtium
yellows, are specially liked.
Almost anyone who makes any pre-
tentions to sewing, or has any faith
in her own ability, can put together a
fiounced dress. The trick seems to be
in adjusting the flowers at the right
slope, with even fullness, and In not
getting them too full
The three fiounced skirt, having the
fiounces shaped, is displayed for heav-
Ter fabrics, and is wonderfully attrac-
tive.
There is a world of light, airy fab
RIGS, fascinating in design, and world
of filmy laces, moderate in price, so
that the fiounced gown has pleasant
future before it. Limp fabrics are
chosen that fall to the figure, so that
tiounces do not mean bullxiness. That
is tabooed. and is likely to remain So

Concerning the Tango.

Those who know their modern
young man are prophesying that the
reign of the tango will be extraor
dinarily short, for It is being discov
cred that this dance is not necessarily
improper.
There is evidently still a consider
able amount of ignorance In the minds
of most persons as to the correct form
of tango A friend of ours who
though he bad had no time to take
lessons In the new dance, yet liked
to be in the movement. went through
his calisthenic exercises In the ball
room, the other evening, with the
greatest success.-Punch.

Excursion Stamp.

When Jeffery Farnol, the novelist
was painting signs in New York and
writing stories that nobody would
buy, he was, of course, hard up.
"Farnol." said New York editor
tells me that in those days postage
was his curse. 1t cost him such 8
lot, you know, to post his heavy
stories to the magazines, and, o.
course, he had to pay the postage
back as well on their rejection.

need was a cheap excursion stamp

Another Big Clash Coming.

Although the Germans have been
punished badly in their long retreat
and have lost many guns and men,
they maintain cohesion and, un ess the
French succeed In their attempt to get
between the army of the crown prince
and those operating west of him, En-
peror Williams force will present a
solid front when the time comes for
another clash which will be fully as inn
pontant as the recent battle.
II the Germans can gain the new po-
sition, 1t offers better opportunities
for defense than the ground they have
passed over the last ten days. Their
right apparently extends as far west
as ST. Quentin. through country in
tersected by rivers and streams that

est on Record, Numbering 40
Members Work Getting
Well Under Way

With the schools Of Chickasha well
under way, the enrolment announced
this morning had reached 1887, and,
preliminary matters being adjusted,
pupils and teachers have settled down
to what points to the best school year
in the history Of Chickasha.
The enrolment at the high school
and the West building is especially
good. but at the North and South
buildings the attendance so far has
shown to be slightly Off. AS the year
advances it is estimated that the at
tendance will increase materially.
One of the features attendant to the
opening of school is the record senior
class enrolled, starting the year with
40 pupils, the largest in the history Of
that class. Many new faces are seen
iii practically every building and room
and with better facilities, especially in
the manual training and domestic sci
ence departments, the efficiency Of
the school is greatly Increased.
The attendance at the various build
ings is as follows: High school 2lo,
West building 500, South building 297,
North building sO5, high school grades
$50, Lincoln school 2S5. Among the
improvements Of the year is the con
struftion Of an overflow building at
the north building.
