I NEW YORK FASHION?. 1 j Designs For Costumes That Have Be- 8 PT •: Metropolis. |g NEW YORK CITY (Special).—Unset tled as many features of the new styles still are, the polonaise and princess styles can be relied upon as certain to be worn. No other garment is so be- W £ 'j ±l, 111 WOMAN'S POLONAISE. I coining to the well formed figure, and the favor in which they were held in the late spring will undoubtedly ex tend to the fall and winter gowns. The charming design shown is well adapted to all wool materials and to such soft silks as crepe de chine and the *ae lovely liberty fabrics. No hars'i silk and no wiry woolen stuff is eve good for garments of the sort. WiJi the guimpe, which may be of mousselino, chiffon or any soft finished silk in white or some delicate har monious tint, it is appropriate for afternoon wear and informal dinners LADIES' SKEBT, " Dr evening affairs, while without it it becomes formal and decollete at once. As illustrated, the material is em broidered crepe de chiue in tender dove gray, the guimpe cream white mousseline laid in tiny tucks, while the underskirt is of the new Liberty Regence, *in the same shade as the crepe. Round the scalloped edges which finish the polonaise is a tiny fuelling or chiffon in the same tender gray, with a thread of white silk through the centre, but otherwise the gown is untrimmed. To make this polonaise for a wom an of medium size will require two i and one-quarter yards of material forty-four inches wide. Woman's Gntheixd Skirt. Embroidered swiss is daintily trimmed with fine lawn embroidered edging and insertion in the skirt shown in the large engraving. The skirt has a straight lower edge and is shaped with four breadths, which are i slightly gored to make less fulness at the top. The lower edge is trimmed with a narrow frill of embroidery, headed by insertion, another row be ing placed two inches above. 'NVheu tucked or embroidered flouncing is used, the lower edge need not be cut through, as the pattern may be piuned on straight and the shaping made nbove the decoration. The skirt is gathered all around at the top. The mode is especially adapted to span gled and plain net crepe veiling and all thin, clinging fabrics, the flare at the foot being accentuated by the fashionably shapped petticoat worn beneath. To make the skirt in the medium size will require six aud one-half yards of thirty or thirty-six inch ma terial. The New Glo/eti. Many of the kid gloves of the pres ent season match in pronounced col oring the brilliant and showy effects in the season's gowning. There will be new dyes in odd copper-like shades, a dark, very odd Egyptian red, a vivid purple, several novel tints of green, including gray-green bronze dyes, laurel and stem-green, ma hogany, deep orange-yellow, iris blue, blood-orange, and a new bright shade of tan. These are all aggressive and fouspicuous, but there will fortunate ly be a choice and only those who fancy such a range of novelties which will be fashionable—like many othei ultra-creations of the fall—need choose them. The stores and im porting houses will set forth also tin quietest and prettiest sort of standard shades in gloves of both dressed and undressed kid, styles which are se lected year after year by a large class of conservative women who nevei think of following an erratic fashion, but who invariably appear as women most elegantly and fashionably attired. Exquiftltt) Flaldi. Exquisite plaids in large design* are used in combination with dark blue, brown and black, and these, both in silk and velvet, will be fash ionable for early autumn wear. Pa risian models showing velvet plaids are already in evidence, and one lovely gown of dead-leaf brown-faced cloth had simulated petticoat and yoke of superb plaid in tones of red, shaded with dark brown and green, and a small cape to match had revers and.tbe hood-like upper portion all of the plaid. A Popular Silk. Veloutine, like pean de soie, is a silk that grows constantly in favor. It is as soft as Sicilenne or undressed faille, only of firmer texture, with a glossy surface. The plain unpat tcrned weaves are very liaudsome, and others equally attractive are striped, showing lovely contrasts in color. The sample cards show the new goods to be donble silk in weav ing—silk on silk—and the importers afiirrn that they will neither pull nor cut in wearing. The New Slilrt Wnlata. Already the uew styles iij shirt waists are with us, and very smart they are. The silk ones are not as novel, how ever, as the flannel waists, which are to be had in excellent qualities of French flannel, in motor red, mauve, white, golden-orown and black. The new feature of the flannel waist is that it is either tucked, hemstitched, or embroidered in bauds, both front and back, very much on the order of the more elaborate linen waists, but no yoke in the back, as that idea is decidedly passe. Then there are the new cotton corduroy shirt waists with embroidered bosoms in contrasting colors, or strips of colored embroidery down the front. Those in white corduroy with bauds of red embroidery on the front are very chic aud especially well adapted to cycling, golf aud yachting costumes, ! when worn with the new homespun skirls and scarlet coats, with which the world seems to be too abundautly supplied just now. For morning wear at the seashore, on the links and in the mountains, the red coat has simply played havoc with every other style of jacket and swept everything before it—and it has evi- I dently come to stay. I For afternoon waists there is noth ing more popular than a flufly white gauze or lace waißt for young ladies, and with white serge or veiling skirts are worn at many evening affairs. The beauty of a lace blouse is greatly heighteued when a collar and garni ture of some deep-toned velvet, such as ruby or purple, is added, and espe- ONE' 07 TBB &ATM 7 MODELS. cially effective when nonforniing with the prevailing tint of tho haid-paiuteo flower material which may form th< vest and revera of the blouso, or per ! bans the eatir* froDt KINITS FO° HOUSEWIVES. IT.efdl Article* For the Nursery. An accessory to the nursery outfit ivhose convenience not all mothers Uave discovered Ibe tho sponge bowls of French pottery, prettily decorated with ipiaint figures specially intended jo please baby eyes. These bowls are divided into compartments for hot aud cold water, aud are set usually in a little wicker standard that is easily Drought to the mother's side when '.he child's sponge bath is to be given. Host Pluco For the Unci). Many persons prefer to keep their linen iu a chest. If you have such a •.hing in the family, or cau afford one, nothing is handsomer than one of the old-fashioned carved oak chests. They are no?, however, so convenient as the cupboard arrangement, where everything has its place, so that any required article may be found in the dark. A heavy wooden box with a hinged lid, and covered with bright denim or cretoune and fitted with orass handles, hinges and hasp, makes in excellent linen holder. Tho chest :an be filled with scents and made as odorous as the lavender aud sandal wood perfumed chests of a century ago. The linen closet is fitted with a dooi or doors that cau be closed, locked if need be, FO that all dust may be kept out. It goes without saying that the shelves should always be kept scru pulously clean and the wall freshly papered or painted, or even white washed. Flower Pillow*. Where ros: j s and other flowers are fo bo had iu profusion the leave? should be dried for pillows, which give a dainty and penetrating perfume co the conch. The delicate odor of dried flower leaves is said to bo so joothing that sleep is easily induced. It is much pleasanter to woo slumbei on such a pillow than on one made o! uops. In making the pillows the leaves are dried thoroughly until avery particle of moisture in them has ova; orated. Before ] utting them in the pillow case they should be sprinkle d with a few drops of attar of rose,which will make their perfume far more pen etrating and enduring. Tho pillow should not be stuffed too tight with the leaves. Some add down feathers with the rose leaves to make the pillow softer and easier, for though the clas sical allusion to a "bed of roses" sounds pleasant to the ear, it is not by any means as soft and springy as feathers or even good South Amer ican hair. An appropriate rose-em b:oidered cover of silk would help to .-any out the effect of a rose leaf pil low. Drying Apples and Other I'm Its. The most disagreeable feature of sun-dried fruits is that they are fly blown and specked and often covered with tlie dust from the streets. The first can easily be remedied by pie paring boaids for them befo'e the sea son for drying opens. These boards should be 12 inches wide, or even 2C if possible to get them, aud fo ir fee' long. Nail strips of lath along the sides so they will keep the fruits froir falling oiK Tack clean paper on the top of the board, and put nprigh' strips of lath four inches long nt eiihei eud. Stretch mosquito netting ovei these uprights, and tack down tf the boards except at one eud. This end should lie kept open so the fruit? cau be reached at will. Tack this end of the netting to a stick which will be heavy enough to draw the netting taul whe i dropped down. Then make e sort of wo. den hoe with a handle as long as the board. This can be made by nailing a piece of shingle to the en J of a broom handle. With this the apples can be turned over aud liauleJ up toward the opening in the mosquitc netting at will. The boards can l>< easily carried in from the rain or uusl on unpleasant days. The flies will never have a chance to make the dry ing l'rui'.s unclean or disagreeable. Retipei, Pickled Cabbage—Seloit- a nice firir head of cabbage, removs the outside leaves, shave it very tine, then put it in a stone jar, add pepper and salt, two chopped red pepperit. two chopped heads of celery, two lablespooufuls o) white mustard seed aud enough cold vinegar to cover.

Lower the Tein|)i>raturo and Help to Purify tlie Air. Dr. Stephen Smith, in showing that trees ate a safeguard against many of the dangers of summer heat in cities, since they tend to lower the tempera ture aud to purify the air, states that the Washington elm of Cambridge, Mass., a tree of moderate size, was esti mated a few years since to produce a crop of 7,000,000 leaves, exposing n surface of 200,000 square feet, or about live acres of foliage. Dr. Smith enumerates the causes of the increased summer temperature of cities which so appreciably raises the mortality of the lower classes during the hot months. Among these are the absence of vegetation, the drSinage and hence the dryness of the soil, the covering of the earth with stones, bricks and mortar, the aggregation of population to surface area, the massing together of buildings and the artificial heat of workshops and manufactories. When the summer temperature begins to rise the solar heat is constantly add ing to the artificial heat. The tem perature of the whole vast mass of stone:-', bricks, mortar aud asphalt gradually increases, with no other mitigation or modification than that caused by the inconstant winds and occasional rainstorms. Dr. Smith says the practical remedy for many of these evils is the planting of large numbers of trees iu the streets. He points out that the temperature in a forest, a grove, or even a small clump of trees is lower in sum mer and higher in winter than it is in the open. The differ ence between the temperature of the air under aud among the branches of a single tree, densely leaved, and the surrounding air, on a hot day, is 20, 30 aud 40 degrees, and in the soil there is a difference of from 10 to 12 de grees. The reverse is true in winter. Railroad engineers have fo use far less fuel in passing through forests in winter than iu traversing the same dis tance in the open country. When the ground in the lields is frozen two or three feet deep its temperature in the forest is found abovo the freezing point. Trees, in fact, have a normal temperature, probably approximating 54 degrees Fahrenheit, which they maintain summer and winter. An other important effect on temperature is that caused by the evaporation of water from the surface of the leaves. A sunflower, with a surface area of 5,1i1t! square inches, throws off at the rate of twenty to twenty-four ounces every twelve hours. A vine with twelve square feet of foliage exhales »t the rate of five or six ounces daily. It has been estimated that an acre of grass emits into the atmosphere 0.4 quarts of water in twenty-four hours, ft is this fact which gives significance to the estimate of the superficial area of the folia,.re of au elm tree. The advantage of having an automatic evap orator under one's window is potent. Dr. Smith urges the authorities of jities to take in hand the work of planting trees freely throughout their streets. Trees about three inches in >lia neter and fourteen feet high can be planted iu a city, including trans portation from nursery, opening aud relaying the pavement, providing suit able iron box aud the necessary earth, it an expense of from s"> to S7 each. A W «*le<l K Tort. There was a lipht in young Blank's office one night la~t week, late into the night. Jones came along and saw it, and climbed up tho stairs to see what his friend wus doiug. "Well, I'll be blamed, he exclaimed *s he opened the door aud came in upon Blank writing away and scratch ing his head for ideas. What you doing? Writing poetry?" "Nope; writing to my sister. Promised her faithfully I'd write to her and she's been gone now three weeks." The next morning .Tones met Blank on tiie street and remarked on the dis gusted look the latter wore. "What's the matter, Billy? Any thing wrong?" "Matter enough," returned the other. "Vou saw me writing to my sister last night? Well, I stayed np uutil 12 o'clock and wrote her the longest letter I ever wrote in my life. Then I walked way over to the postoiTice and put it in the box. When I got home I found that my sister had arrived unexpectedly about an hour before. That s what I call pure waste of energy and literary ability." And ho went off down the street mut tering to himself.—Detroit Free Press. IJow Oiiet>ti*to wn (Jot Its Name. It had long been, says the royal biographer, the wish of the and Prince Consort to visit Ireland, audit was hoped that ttie sympathy of the sovereign, marked by her presence among her suffering sub jects might have a cheering influence. In August, 184S>, the and Prince, with their four children, hav ing embarked at Cowes, lauled at the Cove of Cork. At the moment when the Queen stepped for the first time on the Irish shore the sun burst iu splendor from the clouds, and to a deputation of the townsmen her majesty lommuui/ated her pleasure that the towu of Cove iu commemoration of hor visit, should henceforth bear tho name of Queeustown. The reception of the royal party was niwst enthusias tic. In her journal hor majesty wrote: "The beauty of the women is very remarkable, and struck us much; such beautiful dark eyes and hair, and such tine teeth; almost every third woman was pretty, and some re markably so." —Loudon News.

COPYRIGHT BY THE PROCTER ft GAMBLE CO. CINCINNATI Took Five Men to Lilt Jaw. The bones of a mastoden have been unearthed on the Bass farm near Elkhait, Ind. Povtions of the skull, jaws, forelegs, sections of the spine ami twenty-six ribs were found. The skull weighs GOO pounds. All tlio bones are in fair condition. The deep vein of muck from which the bones were exhumed indicates that it was once the bed of a lake. Five men were needed to lift the upper jaw out of the trench. The exhumation was under the direction of Major S. L. McFadin, of Logansport, and the bones will be sent to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. Makes Out His Checks on Chips.
