California in 1886, as compared with
1895, was announced today by How

for a $2,oO0,Ooo,ooo bond issue to
begin work on Britain's $7,500,000-

Members voted on the bill only
a few hours after War Minister
A. Duff Cooper had presented the
1897 army estimates. They pro-
vided for an increase of 10000 men
in the army's personnel and for
an appropriation of $13l ,465, 900

main purpose on increasing the
army's expenditures was to whip

spirit of cottons Fundamentally this
season. It is truly revelation to
see what wonders they are doing
with both sturdy and dainty sheer
weaves, tuning their fashioning to
formal as well as informal wear.
Printed cottons especially were new
er more beautiful. A special fea-
ture is being made of printed cot
ton voiles, some of which are simply
enhancing both as to their pattern
ing and their exquisite sheerness.
These voiles are so inexpensive
too, women who do their own sewing
can have the prettiest sort of frocks
at trif1ing cost.
The attractive summer girls
standing to the left and center in the
Illustration are wearing charming
cotton dresses as fresh and sweet
as an old-fashioned garden. The
cottons that fashion them won't
shrink because they have already
been scientifically shrunk. The dress
to the left has wee little pleatings
on the skirt and is a pretty style
to copy if you are making your
own.
The dress conferred offsets it's gay
print with a dainty lace-and-em-
broidered lingerie collar. There new
er was a time in fashion history
when accessories counted for as
much as they do this season. Not
only is the most feminine looking
neckwear a necessary luxury but in
more ways than can here be emu
merated the emphasis is placed on
the value of choosing smart tuned
to-the-costurne accessories. An in
triguing use of bright cotton prints
is made in the clever halters which
are selling at the neckwear coun-
tiers so briskly. These halter
vestees with their long tie-sashes
are making a gesture in economy
that enables the woman with a most
limited budget to look well dressed
at all times.
