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.

heighteued when a collar and garni

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.

TREES AND SUMMER HEAT.
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

audit was hoped that ttie sympathy
of the sovereign, marked by her
presence among her suffering sub

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.

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
