THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. PA. i ; l ! 1 T&E WORLD OF FASHION. t)BS8INEM 18 A rAU OF Tllli IMCASOXS COSTCMtS. tfTi. : ' '' f A Smart Gown for Summer XYmr - ftugn for Mun lnwn-A Cycling Costume New Hints Wanbiible tlonm A New Ciiina t rope- ' There nrp womn who wear theli plainest garments, with an air of co quetry that tranBfers them Into things of beauty. It may be nothing mor than a Plain muslin gown, but it hai an air given It by the wearer, distin guishing It from a similar garment on an ungraceful woman. Hut the ten dency Is to much trimming and elabo ration of costume. The smart gown here shown Is appro priate for a garden party or other out ing festival. The material Is whl glaoe patterned with a chine design ol tender green chrysanthemums, the double flounce which borders the skirt being edged In its turn with rows ol bldfk velvet bady ribbon, the same ef fective trimming outlining the high ruffled collar. Round the waist goes a cleverly folded belt of black satin, fas tened at cither side and front with a diamond and emerald button, above a perfectly plain little basque covered with fine cream qulpure. bands? of the lacfe being arranged on the bodice In conjunction with soft slashings of mis ty green chiffon, while little frllU of velvet-edged silk cross the shoulders, and finish off the elbow sleeves. The For Summer Wear. hat Is of pale green straw, with a high pleating of glace, silk (In the green ot the chrysanthemums patterning the dress) surrounding the crown, and all edged with the equally tender green ot the new salad trimming to wit, lit tle clusters of narrow softly green leaves which are entirely charming and wonderfully effective. Furthermore, there Is a high white aigrette for trim ming, and at the back a cluster ot tea roses to encircle the hair, while as a background for this loveliness Is a sunBhade of the glace silk lined with foamy cascades of chiffon and touches of lace, and an encircling fringe of salad, the crowning point being a trail of wisteria. To complete the pretty picture, there is surely the daintiest satchel ever made, the foundation ot green tulle being entirely covered with the salad, and decorated with hanging tails of wisteria and yellow roses, though for all Its fairy like loveliness it is destined for practical use, and the reception ot a handkerchief. The rage for linen gowns Is running Into all sorts of oddities. Gowns of that ugly brown holland are being worn, but so transformed that one would never suspect what the material really was. All manner of adornments In braiding are lavished upon these gowns, which, with applied designs of honlton work, and rich band embroid ery, make the gowns wonderfully dressy. There is a perfect passion for stocks of (white satin, with huge bows at the A Cvellne CoMume. back, for vests of white satin and for folded belts of the same with Jeweled buckles or clasps. There Is an odd fancy running ram pant in the decoration of sleeves. An otherwise plain taffeta gown of any delicate, pretty tint, has the coat sleeves literally billowed In pouffs and frills of tulle or chiffon, sometimes the color of the gown, but more often in dead while. The effect Is singular, but exdlngly chic. under the spell of the summer days th$ fashionable woman has given her self wholly over to the thorough enjoy, mjut ot all Boris of out-of-door sports. Tl(p bicycle has captured the heart of womankind, and it Id now an exception to find a womun who does not ride. L&rnlng to ride the bicycle is some thing like learning to eat oysters, there nr6 so many objections to overcome, bdj once Bellied it Is done forever, and thi cycle has won another devotee. the perfectly gowned cyclist has Ww Ml . -- filven up the logging altogether, an( U wearing long tan hose, wltfi H heavj pattern to roll owr the top of tin knickers. They are Immensely smart and, with the lacod canvas boot, form n much cooler foolgcar than the heavj leggings. Hlcycllng Is to be moro the fashion than ever at the watering places, and at least two bicycle costumes musl needs be provided for summer wear one of serge, cheviot, or covert cloth for cool days, and one of linen, Rus sian crash, or the wiry material thai looks like hair cloth, or perhaps whltt duck, for the hot weather. The sklrti must not bo too wide, for unnecessary fullness Is not only annoying, as 11 blows back Into the wheel If there it the slightest wind, but nlso Is very ugly and ungraceful. The fullness must be quite at the back, and ovet the hips the skirt must fit closely. The flare must be around the bottom of th skirt only, and in the wash materials this Is gained not only by the cut, but also by turning up a deep hem on the outside, and stitching it through with pcvrral rows of machine stitching. The short Jackets, either with loose fronts or tight fitting like waists, opening at the neck with narrow revers, are the piettiest patterns, after all. Hut the 12ton Jacket la the most useful, on ac count of being so light and small that It can b" carried on the handle-bar If It is not desired to wear It. When the Ktcn Jacket Is used the back must be rut. long enough to almost hide the belt or' the skirt, and must be fitted in tit the si'le seams so that it has a neat, trim look. The f.i.hionnble girl these days lets her purse swing from n chain which sl!p wears about her neck. The chain must be very fine and the purse of sil ver or gold mesh, with a gate top. This Iden Is more for novelty than eon vcrlftice, for a purse dangling from oik's waist is apt to be a trifle annoy In?. Hut it Is the fashion, and so the ?.'v3 are doing it. A few of the fair maids tuck part of the purse within the bolt, as If it were a watch. There ore many beautiful tints of Kfi-en among the summer dress fabrics, and pink Is charmingly combined with these dyes. It is a n'-'PHon yet to be solved how these delicate dyes will re sist the onslaught of the American foundress, but there Is no doubt that the shades are all particularly restful to the eye In midsummer, and as charming as they are restful. Very many of the new washable gowns are made full all round a style known at the dressmaker's as "the housemaids' skirt." Sometimes there is a very deep hem, again two, three, or five narrow frills, one lapping the other. These frills are set on with a fine cord and serve a double purpose; they keep the dress from falling in about the feet and certainly tend to embellish It. With such a gown, noth ing looks better in the way of shoulder covering than a muBlin cape with frilled edges. Summer dress skirts, If made of light material, are frequently tucked from the hem to several Inches above the knees, and on a few gowns there Is a narrow knife-plaited frill ot the dress material below the hem. Skirts thus tucked are ungored, and prove far easier to hang and adjust than the gored skirt with its frequent tendency to sag at the sides after tht skirt Is completed and worn a few times. The stores are full of convenient con trlvances In the way of purses and bags for-women shoppers and women who ride a bicycle. No woman will be ful ly equipped without one of these use ful and pretty things. They are made of leather, chosen for its durability rather than beauty, although many of them are very handsome. A double pocket, made with Btrap long enough to slip through the belt and having one bag higher than the other, Is a most convenient one. One is used as a change purse, another for handker chief, cards, keys and other small nec essities, and so on. Morocco, calfskin, alligator, and monkey skins are fash ionable Just at present, the latter skin being very much the rage for bags and is very handsome. A monkey skin bag, silver mounted, with a watch In one end, will cost 8 or $10. Others may be bought for prices which vary from 12.50 to $3. Costumes of pure white, from the plain taffeta silk or crepon parasol to the tip of the shoes, will be one of the prevailing fashions In the summer dress, and they will be worn morning, noon and night in all the varying grades of elegance or simplicity. A new "China crepe" has made its appearance for smart dresses. It is something like the lovely crepe de Chine which Is so costly, and which rarely runs to a whole dress. This new China crape Is a French product, and is rougher of texture than Its delicious namesake. It Is uneven of surface, something like crepon, but It retains the sllkiness and beautiful softness of crepe de Chine, though heavier and thicker, and it is as amenable to beau ty of color. The old "linen dusters," masculine find feminine, of hideous memory have sprung to life again, serving a real convenience under the name of dust cloaks. These are made most appro priately perhaps of the ever present grads-llnen-over-silk combination. Hut expensive substitutes are Chine silks and nhot silks. They are made usually with long, wide fclcirts and very flowing sleeves to avoid injury under the pre tend of protection to the gowns be nenth. They huve ribbon ties at the waist and some have cute hoods. Big enamel buttons are their ostensible fu:tf ning, and they are often decked ivith hue", rolling collars in gay colors. Hrt Ft" l lmlx.

The lawmen and the Times, Do farmers prosper in comparison to other classes ? What staples are not affected' by the depreciation of property values ami other products? Was the demonetization of silver the cause of depreciation and ruination of the agricultural industry ? Is the single qold standard the cause of the steadfast and increasing purchasing power of the dollar? These are questions for the voters to answer at the polls next November. The con ditions answering to the above ques tions everybody admits to exist. All professional men, feed and salaried, are not affected by the depreciation of property and product values. Taxes will be just so many dollars to every farmer if the dollar grows just twice as large as it now is that is if it takes just twice as much of the farmer's produce and labor to obtain one. The official will get. just the same salary. That is fixed by law it is fiat. Before silver was demonetized the rate of interest was 6 per cent. It is that now. What is the difference when it is just the same ? This is the difference. When the farmer borrowed a hundred dollars before the demon etization of silver it did not take half as much of his labor and produce to pay the interest as it does now. Si per cent, is more now than 12 per cent, was then that is, the farmer could pay 12 per cent, easier then than lie can pay 6 per cent now. Every obligation the farmer makes or owes is fiat and staple because the law compels him to meet his obliga tion although his property shrinks out of sight by the class legislation. These unequal conditions between the classes exist through . no other causes than through class legislation. Class legis lation is nothing but a transfer of wealth from cettain classes to other classes. There is just so much wealth in the nation which increases pro gressively, but the channels of increase are diverted from their natural course from the many to the few by legisla tion. We are told that free coinage of silver means financial ruin of our industries and national financial wreck. This cannot be true. So long as there is a demand for commodities there will be a supply. So long as people wish to buy there are people anxious to sell. You cannot obstruct or stop the channels of trade by any form of circulating medium, no matter how obnoxious that circulating medi um may be to the plutocracy and money kings of our country, or any other country for that matter. Farm ers have nothing to fear from the remonetization of silver. But how is it with Bank institutions and Trust companies? They aim invariably and more than realize that aim at 6 per cent, on their investments under the single gold standard. They can not possibly suffer from depreciation of many forms of property, but are the sole beneficiaries of the enlarged dol lar and its increasing purchasing power which robs the masses of their fair share of the profits of the universal business transactions of the world. The masses of the people have as great and just grievances against the money kings of this nation as they had against King George III. They need as much deliverance from their power and tyranny as they needed independence from the tyranical throne of King George. Their hordes of bribed emissaries eat out the sub stance of the producing and laboring people as much as King George's hired emissaries did. The wrath of the people is aroused, and the money power trembles in its boots. They are alarmed at the prospect of the sceptre of the power returning to the people, where it justly and of right belongs. The Western political cy clone is already assuming fearful destructive proportions, and the single gold standard people are already ap pealing for British protection. The storm is approaching ; let it come. But notwithstanding all this the coun try will be safe, no matter how the election goes. J. C. Wenner. No Cripe When you take Hood's Tills.
