THE SEASONS STYLES.

Silk gloves will always be a sum-
NOR commodity Of fashion in this warm
country Of ours. They are best In
white, and the smartest thing has
stitching and sometimes other trim
ming Of black. One style shows cum
band Of inch-wide stripes running d.
agonally.
Never before have lace wells been
more fashionable or moro attractive
than this year, possibly because they
are suggestive Of things Spanish. They
were not seen much in the very carry
or rejuvenating touch, to the hat that
has seen a few weeks wear. and mas
been faded by the sun. They are fas-
tened over the top and thrown oaGh'
usually. hanging gracefully over ens
shoulder. Sometimes they are fastened
in true Spanish fashion.
Bits Of antique Japanese embroidery
are used as collars Of pongee sports
nat, oolorful embroidery that women
used to like to put on the drawing
room table or on the shelves Of cabinets
for curios.
Speaking Of things Japanese. there
is a new vogue for handbags and
purses from the island empire. Some
times these are made like bags. fasten-
ed on ivory rings. through which is
run a long silken cord. Sometimes
openings that are thoroughly occi-
dental in appearance. and sometime s
they are made with the wrought metal
chain for a handle and ball of carved
ivory at the end that Just fits tho hand.

to give the high line at the back Of
the neck, which is undoubtedly more
becoming to most women than the
fat line Of the turned down collar.
Soutache braid is used. traced in in
tricate patterns, on many of the smar,
summer suits and frocks.
The smocks of this season almost al
show belts. They really are far more
useful when belted. for otherwise they
sag and hang out from the figure.
Black lace petticoats, with deer
nounces, are one of the prettiest lin
gerie fashions Of the summer. These
petticoats are to be worn under black
evening gowns. of course. They have
a distinctly Spanish appearance. and
there are endless possibilities Of charm
in their makeup.
The newest midsummer parasol is OF
cretonne, usually in a large Powered
pattern. and quite frequently with deer
scalloped edges, bound or faced with
the cretonne. Hats Of cretonne TO
match are tempting to the woman who
has money to spend.
Spots and polka dots are almost az
much in vogue as are stripes. and hand
embroidered spots make very effective
trimming for lingerie frocks and
blouses.

FUR ON COLORED ORGANDY GOWNS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsD.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
MI YORK. juno 17.-The absurd
and eccentric idea Of wearing fur In
warm weather seems to have gained
what the southerners call strange
hold" on tho women in America
The idea began In Paris about six
wears ago during q wet. cold summer
when the air was too chilly after
o'clock in tho afternoon to 50 with
out q warm wrap about the neck or
shoulders. At that time the French
took up the rcd. white. purple ana
brown foxes. which they wore sluns
around the shoulders in tho afternoon
and evening.
This addition Of fur to . moderate
" thin costume did not look am1ss
at that time, but the idea OF its Do
ing taken up as q prevailing summer
fashion still holds strong elements OF
eccentricfty.
or IL, discomfort the women who
wear the fur are the best Judges, but
It seems only q reasonable propositlon
that even II they can stand the heat
and weight Of fur on hot Gay , .nsy
ion in the interests of others.
Last September, when there was
q record heat over this part OF the
country many women went TO the
various sporting affairs heavily wrap
ned in furs, and these came near pro

women who were dressed In netting

For the Summer Cushion.

Cushions, II they are properly made
nnd chosen. can be a most important
and attractive part Of the furnishing
time Of year they are also an important
part of the piazza furnishing.
The newest thing. perhaps. for COW
erfng porch cushions Is q heavy check
cred cotton material. The blocks or
Two tones, brown and black. blue and
gray, green and gray or black. are
used. and the effect Is very attractive.
The material and colors are durable,
too. which is of great Importance in a
porch cushion that is subjected to much
rough wear and dust and often even
dampness.
Another new thing is the square
cushion. covered with awning cloth. in
any of the gay combinations Of color
used this year. This cushion is some
fifteen or sixteen inches high, and per-
haps twelve or fourteen inches square.
It Is filled with a very substantial fll-
ing. so that 1t holds its shape well in
spite OF repeated use as cushion.
The awning stripes are used for
cushions Of all sorts. for the house. the
piazza and the garden. AS they can be
bought In almost every material mag
Unable. from real awning cloth to the
softest silk. they can be found in some
thing suitable for garden or boudoir.
Shocking is used everywhere and in
every way possible. and naturally the
smoked cushion is found. It is decid-
edly pretty. It Is made of soft silk,
with pretty pattern shocked on 1t.
There are round cushions with stripes
running round and round. The stripes
are formed Of strips of ribbon. of con-
trasting colors. The center is a circle
formed from a piece of ribbon scanned
together and gathered up on one edge
gathering to form the middle Of the
cushion top.

Fun Instead Of Rumes.

The milliners started the fashion Of
putting fur on flmy materials for the
hot weather by trimming tulle. chiffon
and straw hats with all kinds Of nov
city furs. Now the dressmakers have
taken hold Of the idea and some of
them are using peltry instead Of
f1ounces.
For example. there is pink organdy
gown trimmed with fur bands. 1t is
given in the sketch today. In addition
TO the fur it has Natter blue bows OF

THE SAYERSVILLE PEOPLE.

Mr.. Alex Beavers was here Monday
coming over in car from his home
near Sayersvillc.
He was in good humor and Opt

worms. He said: 1--WE have our new
church now, and Il good road all
around, and we are beginning to feel
that we are somebody sure enough.
You must come over and make us i
Sunday School speech"
Recently the people of that section
went to it and had road working
day. They started in to give only
one day, but kept at it for three days
and half, and built, ditched and re-
paired between seven and eight miles
of road. They were spurred up to
this extra effort just a little perhaps
by the West Virginia people, who in
building towards Saycrsvillc crossed
over the line and built about two
miles right into Virginia.
The object was, OF course, to give
an outlet from West Virginia for
automobiles, vehicles, etc. This seems
to have stirred up the Saycrsvile
people, and they went ut road build
ing with fresh energy and fixed up
something like eight miles of road. "A
community without Il nice church, and
Il good road to it, is in bad shape
and not likely to make progress along
the line of self respect and hcalthful
Christian morality.
And SO the work goes on-slowly
perhaps, but it goes, and there will
be good roads all over the county
after awhile.

has startled his wealthy congregation
by resigning rather than submit to
the toning down of his sermons to

er is an abomination-but how many
of them do tamely submit to the hal
tering of their sense of right and
truth. On the other hand, there is
something to be said in protest
against the man who glores in call
ing Il spade a spade. The trouble
often is that his zeal makes spade
loom up in his rhetorical outbursts
like steam shovel.
One would think that bachelor
with a yearly income of $14,8O0-un-
earned but overspcnt-might manage
to pay something on account to his
creditors. But one such man, in the

WHO WILL IT BE?

Before another issue Of this paper
the Republicans will have met in
Chicago and named II candidate for
the Presidency. At this writing, 50
tar as the newspapers state, no one
knows who the candidate will be. Jus
tice Hughes, it is stated, could have
the nomination if only he would say
whether or not he would accept it.
This is clear case where the office
seeks the man. Mr.. Roosevelt wants
the nomination, and says so--a clear
case of the man seeking the Office.
1t makes little difference, we he
lieve, who is nominated. There
seems now no disposition on the part
of anybody to change the admnistra-
ton, except the office seekers and cx-
otficc-hoders.
