The central figure is a wooltex cos tume with its new effect, stole front and triple tunUns'klrt. The letticoat for this costume Is 'a cwrosls deml-yoke, mercerized, silk-appearing fabric. I he bolero costume with the triple yoke for the skirt Is made of Mohair Sicilllenne of the richest and heaviest character. This costume shows the new low-necked effect, or rather the col larless dress, and it will be noted that the front is trimmed iu triplets of pearl buttons. The swinging low front Is the new French curve which is par ticularly eiuphasi.ed by the assistance ofaiiewnnd welcome article of wo man's apparel known as the llosaliinl waist adjuster. This excellent contri vance is attached to the corset which holds it comfortably and rigidly at the desired point. The belts of the skirt, underskirt and waist are most easily and neatly arranged by the use of this new article, and are kept (irmly yet easily in place without a wrinkle, dis pensing with much of the annoying fullness usual to the superposing or several different garments. The third costume isofSpring weight Worrall dyed Knglish velveteen. It has also the French curve front, and hi addition has the new extended skirt back which is produced by a single strip of featherbone descending from the waist line in back to a point about ! 12 inches above the bottom of the skirt where a fork or triple line of feather. bone holds the rear of the skirt gently but gracefully In place. The girdle of both costumes is made upon the new featherbone girdle form, which Is elas tic aud pliable, yet holds the shape of THE FUTURE REVEALED. Coming Events Cast Their Shadows He-rote.

The Thirty-seventh National En campment (r..:el Aim,) of thcRcpub liciwhic h is to b.- In ld iu fan Francisco dining the week commencing August I7t!l, l'.'O:!, is destined to hci Hue olic of the most notabie gathering.- iu point of numbers, magtiiih-cncc and splendor iu the history nf California, as well as iu the annals of the Iralci nily. Tho people of San Francisco, and ol all California, fully appreciating the fact that these veterans may never again gather iu an l-'.iicauipinciil ou the shores of the Pacific, w ill exert every etlort to make this Encampment the most memorable one in the history of the G. A. R. No other organization holds the atl'eclioti of the people as does the one composed of the veterans, the defenders of the I'nion, of liberty and light. The veterans residing iu California and Nevada arranged the preliminaries for the Encampment, but all the people of California and of the Pacitlc Coast are enthusiastic ou that topic now, and working hand ill baud with Hie committees to make this Kiicampmeiit eclipse all former frater nal gatherings. From the Governor ol the State to the humblest citizen, eveiy one is imbued with the Idea that Suu Fruiicisco and California must give the veterans the most rousing welcome they have ever had. Merchants, manu facturers, fanners and miners, all are eager to make the visit of the veterans a pleasant and a memorable one. They are determined to show the visitors the famed beauties of this Western Won derland, w hich must be seeii to be ap preciated. From eveiy county and section of Ilie, State the choicest pro ducts will be brought to San Francisco, and be placed on exhibition, lhat the visitors may feast their eyes upon them. Carloads of fruit the most delicious in the world fruit-beariug trees, the uIuuim of to ClirriitH fore!. nnd oilier wouders that have made the Golden State famous, will be ou exhi bition throughout the City for the benefit of those who cannot visit every section of the state. The famous gar dens of Santa Clara, .Marin, Sonoma, Alameda, Contra Costa and other ad jacent Counties will furnish the ma terial for the grandest tloral display ever seen. Oiiurt ami hydraulic mili um will be demonstrated on niinalure mines, und oil wells are to be bored in the city, iu sight of the visitors. 1 hcelccirical display and the illum inations are to surpass even those which have made .-;iti Francisco fam ous during the Knights f Pythias en campment in 1002, and were consider ed the finest ever seen. It will be the grandest sight to behold the vast hosts of the veterans inarching through the streets of San Francisco, beneath a canopy of lloweis, and under garlands and domes woven of myriads of incan descent electric lights, turning nighl into day and making tin- scene one of fairyland. For the illumination ami the decoration, though much of it is owned by the city and is given free of cost, and the Mow el s are donated, tho Legislature has appropriated Jj-2o,(X;0 for that purpose, and the citizens ex pect to raise three times as much by voluntary contribution, to defray the cost of dressing the city in holiday garb. The climate is the most agreeable that can he imagined ; the temperature tho year round is mild and pleasant. In August, with no rain, the thermome ter registers ii." to 7) degrees, rarely a degree more or less, whether mid-day or mid-night. Two hundred thousand visitors can be easily accommodated ill the city atone time, and have been comfortably housed on two former oo casions. Living iu San Francisco is cheaper than in any large city iu the I'liion, and it is good living at that. Fruit unci vegetables grow in abun dance the year round ; there is no cold hot nor an oil-season in California, iu August fruit can be bou ht from any street vender, enough for 5 eeuis to feed a family. Meat is plentiful aud cheap, and of the very best quality. Rooms, good, clean, comfortable room8 may be had in the resilience part of I he town at 50 cents to a $1 per night,, or $.1 to $7 per week. All the hotels, lodging, boarding, apartment houses, have agreed to charge the regular rates .luring the Encampment. The railroad rates are the lowest for that occasion ui the history of trans-coutlucntal traf. ilc, and will Include, traveling over ilhcr route, coming and returning, tvith many side trip?, at a nominal ost.
