ATiSItt TALBOT
f7"S ARIS, May "Tout Taris" will
'-JiJ soon be wendinc: its way toward
,' the many attractive summer re
fci sorts which are conveniently
near the capital. Havre of
course is the great tourist center, but
as an abiding place for any lenpth of
time it is too busy a seaport and too
commercial a town for comfort. To
the transatlantic visitor who slmply
wants a startinp: point Havre will be
found a splendid headquarters. The
hotels there are comfortable, the bath
Ins is excellent and the casino always
hriffht and attractive, and the places to
be reached from this seaport are almost
without number.
But th smart Tarisian will seldom
be found within Its pntes. as Trouville
Is society's Mecca. This Tarls by the
fen is one of the gayest and smartest
rummer resorts In all France, a place
ni"rp people change their clothes with
almost every mood and spend the sum
mer hours bathing, flirting, gambling,
playing pnlo and racing to thdr hearts'
content. Thai Trouville is fascinating
and never dull for one minute you we
tan see. it also affords a splendid op
portunity to study the modes and man
nets of Parisian society.
I'.ut while the modistes are doing their
ui mos t to make us things of beauty
when sojourning at these summer re
sorts the enjoyment immediately at
I nn! her" In Paris is th ever charm
pig warden parties, or. to lie exact, the
I ietty frocks one may wear upon these
festive occasions, for. you know, it is
the gew n that often makes the occa
sion. It is so distinctly worth while to
dress for a fete chomp-tre. At an af
fair of this sort the mise-en-seene is
pei feet, and one has plenty of room in
which to pose and show to advantage
n beautiful toilet in beautiful surround
ings. I suppose this is a confession of
w eakness, but th present modes do in
dorse the preacher's statement, "All is
vanity." That sin this summer abso
lutely stands at one's elbow and ani
mates by a thousand agreeable prom
ises. It is wed we have a license for
tills besetting fault in the assurance of
an authority like Pope, who in his fa
mous "Kssay on Man" informs his pub
lie that "not a vanity is given in vain."
Certainly the beautifully gowned wom
en Mine. Vanity turns out ousht to
make Pope the poot laureate for all
time among the gentler sex.
For the fete frock anything In the na
ture of diaphanous material Is correct
M!k muslin, canvas, crape, lawn, ba
tiste and all the noble army of alluring
fabrics which martyr our pocketbook,
but increase our pride. How these cre
fctions shall be adorned Is the impor
tant question. With yards upon yards
cf the most expensive thin lace if you
can stand the monetary pressure or
motifs and applications of a coarse
weave, one wonders that the filmy
foundations do not give way under the
strain. Another illustration of the back
being fitted to Its burden!
To come back to the trimmings, linen
pmbrolderles or linen and silk hand
needlework applied on the material it
self, filet guipuro or the daintiest of
Kauzelike ribbons go to the adornment
of the dainty garden gown. And again
on gowns how shall I express it; not
certainly as more elaborate creations,
for the lily has already been painted,
but in the fashioning of more stately
frocks nothing is handsomer than dan
fries as a trimming. These eccentrici
ties are formed of manipulated satin
ewed all over the sown. When em
broidered buttons hung on silk cords,
t&esa dangles and lace motifs unite
ot the meeting, before she makes a
definite announcement.

The fete frocks of this summer will
not have the long trains of former
days, their length having been curtailed
until now they merely rest gracefully
on the ground. The skirts are usually
full, though fitted very carefully around

A WET CIT1".
New Orleans Has to Ea Pumped Dry
After Every Rain.
The city of New Orleans, like most, of
the land at each side of the Mississippi
river in the alluvial country, lies con
siderably below the high water line of
the Mississippi river. The whole city
would be inundated by the river occa
sionally if it w ere not protected by a
levee a long the river front. The city is
also protected by levees running at right
angles to the river, one above the city
and one beiov it. and .also by a levee
along the shore of Lake Poriteharirain
and by levees along the banks of the
various canals which reach from that
like into the territory of the municipali
ty. New Orleans is so near the mouth
of the river that the land upon which the
city is built is not only lower than the
high water stage of the river, but is in
part lower than the level of the gulf of
ever, must be free from fussy details
which interfere with the outlines.
The sleeves are generally full and
hanging, either falling" in full folds to
the wrist or else the frill ends at the
elbow, where a baggy lace or muslin
undersleeve ia continued to the hand.
The short sleeve is out of commission
except on distinctively evening gowns.
A charming garden frock has been
fashioned for a debutante. Yellowish
gauze is the material most in evidence,
forming six plaited flounces on the
skirt edged all around with taffeta
ruching of turquoise blue mounted on
a plain fitted yoke of blue silk covered
with straps of Irish crochet lace em
broidered in dainty colorings of yellow,
blue and pink". Over a blouse of plaited
blue mousseline is a bolero of the same
embroidery treated lace; also cap sleeve
enpieements of the like titling- over a
triple plaited full sleeve. The waist
belt, a narrow affair of fine white suede,

Mexico and of the various lakes in the
vicinity of the city. Therefore, there is
no natural drainage for the land in
closed by the levees surrounding the
town. The rain water that falls upon
this area has to be pumped, so as to
force it into either Lake Pontchartrain
or Lake Borgne. The city itself covers
a large area, although the major portion
of its area is not built up as a city. The
part at present chieiiy occupied by
buildings consists of a strip a mile or
so w ide along the bank of the river.
This area is the subject of rainfalls,
the greatest of which for many years
has been about inches within twenty-four
hours, which is equivalent to
a cube of water &70 feet long, wide and
deep. Of course, such a rain occurs only
at very rare intervals. In 1SM4, before
work on the new drainage system was
commenced, records were kept of the
amount of rainfall each year, and these
records have been continued until the
present time. During the month of
July, lsf'4, 325,739,80 cubic feet of water
were drained away from about half the
total area included in the drainage plan.
This discharge for one month is equiva
lent to a cube of water 6sD feet on each
edge, or to a lake 10 miles long, 600 feet
wide-and 10 feet deep, or to a canal SO
miles long, 40 feet wide and 20 feet deep.

Manila's Environs Are Orderly.
The zone around the City of Manihi
once given over to disorder is now pa
cific, and the authorities are very hope
ful that it will so remain for an ex
tended period. The restoration of order
is a direct result of the recent crusade
conducted by the government and the
stern justice administered to the offends
ers who were caught. Three months
ago it was dangerous for a citizen to
go unarmed in parts of Bulacan, Rizal
and Cavite. Armed bands of murderers
and robbers prowled through the coun
try and committed innumerable acts of
violence. Many of them professed to
be "patriots" fighting for the liberty
of their country, but a majority of them
used that profession to cloak other
crimes. Manila was used as a haven of
retreat., and the policy of leniency and
conciliation which the government was
followins maiic the life and occupation
of these gentlemen of the highway :t
comparatively safe one. The naturally
peaceful were prevented from following
their ordinary vocations, and the entire
district covered by the operations of the
gangs was in a state of turmoil. Ma.

THE DEATH OF A HOKSE.
Common Fate of Thousands That Are
Slaughtered for European Tables.
Not only in Berlin, but in almost all
the great cities of Europe horse meat
is eaten by the lower classes. There
are greater slaughter houses in Paris
which kill thousands of horses every
year. In Vienna more than 25,000 horses
and a number of donkeys are annually
killed, and Berlin eats horse meat by
the thousands of pounds every day.
Such horses are inspected both before
and after killing, and every piece of
meat must be stamped as healthful by
the inspectors.
Have you ever seen a piece of horse
flesh? It is redder than beef and looks
for all the world like venison and tastes
not unlike it. There are 200 butcher
shops in Paris which sell nothing else.
I saw- K sold side by side with beef in
I the butcher shops in Switzerland, and
, have no difficulty in finding horse meat
chops here. In Berlin the meat is ad-
vertised as horse meat, and there is no
j chance of having horse steak passed off-
upon you as a venison or beef.
I have visited several of the horse
slaughter houses. The first one was like
a big barnyard surrounded by low sta
bles and fenced in at one side with long
buildings of red brick. At the right of
the gate stood a group of butchers, their
shirt sleeves rolled up above their el
bows and their bare, brawny arms cov
ered with blood. Each butcher hart a
leather apron, well spattered, and look
ed altogether rather repulsive than oth
erwise. I had a permit to see the estab
lishment, and in addition gave a small
fee to one of these men, so that every
thing was thrown open to me.
The first room we entered contained
the horses that had been killed that
morning. There were several score of
them hung like beeves from the rafters,
with their heads downward. A splendid
bay horse which had just been killed
was being dressed on the floor, a white
horse was being skinned, and an in
spector was going over the various cuts
of those hung from the rafters and
stamping them.
Leaving this room, I was taken to an
other where they were killing. As I
watched them a magnificent black car
riage horse was brought in, wot th. I
was told, 100 marks, or $23. It v.-as not
more than 6 years old. and a month or so
ago his value was perhaps $500. He had
slipped on the smooth streets a few days
before, and had so injured himself that
he would be lame for life.
The horse looked at me through his
soft, beautiful eyes as he came in, and it
almost sickened me to think of his
death. It w as affecting' to watch him as
the butchers dragged him on his thre
legs across the yard, and it seemed a
sacrilege when they clipped his mane
and forelock with a pair of sheep shears
preparatory to his killing, and more like
murder than anything else when the
deadly blow was struck.
As the horse neared the door he
seemed to realize his approaching end.
He smelled the blood ujxm the flow.
His sensitive nostrils quivered and he
hung back. With a brutal blow from
his club the butcher drove him on, and
he finally stood there, with his legs
quivering and trembling all over. Now
an apron of leather a foot square was
hung over his eyes, leaving his fore
head bare. Then one of the butchers
pulled down his handsome head and an-
I oiner iaiftea ine Mnic, intr iimuiiici -i
I which was as big around as your wrist.
While motoring to and from the gar
den party dust wraps are necessary,
and many of them are very graceful,
wdth their characteristic Japanese note.
The most sumptuous of these wraps are
composed of beautiful laces, accordion
plaited chiffons and kilted gauzes, trim
med with jeweled embroideries. The
capuchin or hood effect is very much
used on them and late in the evening
proves a decided protection, as one doe3
not care to appear at a dinner or func
tion of any sort with locks with which
even a light summer wind has been
sporting too boisterously.
Then for hot days and less dressy oc
casions we have the most attractive
little sacks of lace or net with fichu
like draperies of ethereal lace.
When one's best festive frock is white
a coat of the short variety made of the
same material is the nicest thing to
have, as it will do duty for other occa
sions when a colored gown is worn. I
should suggest white pongee as a fabric
for both.
Talking of these filmy, graceful, gra
cious fashions makes me wonder why.

beast dropped on the floor. The blood
poured from his nostrils, his eyes shown

Presh. Air for Fishes.
There will be installed this season on
the steamer that brings the aquarium's j
tropical fishes from the Bermudas to j
this city a small steam air compressor,
for purposes of aeration. It has been
customary to bring this stock in recep
tacles in which the water was kept
aerated by circulation, by constant re.
newal. This. however, involves u
change of 12 or 15 degrees in the tem
perature of the water in which the
fishes are brought, as well as, between
Bermuda and here. a considerable
change in the water's density. It iy
hoped to overcome both difficulties by
the aid of the air compressor. 1 He
tanks m widen the fishes are brought
will be kept supplied with water from
the sea, in circulation and constantly
renewed, until the vessel approaches
the northerly boundary of the guU"
stream. Then the water in the fishes
tanks will be kept there and, for the
rest of the journey, will be. supplied
when, more than ever, women are go
ing in for the strenuous life, they
should return to days of gentle help
lessness In attire. Today we droop ev
erywhere gracefully, charmingly, se
ductively, but we droop and there is no
way of getting, away from it. To
strengthen the droopiness the French
woman of fashion has adopted discus
throwing as her latest accomplishment
in sports. It is the classic game of an
tiquity she follows, not the modern
prosaic one of quoits. The enthusiasts
declare that, aside from the pleasure of
the game, the advantage to be gained
in Improvement of figure is wonderful.
The development of the muscles, par
ticularly in the arm, shoulder, waist
and chest, is really surprising. Indeed,
I think the French woman's personal
ity is hardly appreciated outside her
own land except for her sartorial
achievements. Although supposed to
be subtle and deep, she is simple with
the simplicity that is the perfection of
art Ingrafted on natural self possession.
The day of the girl's supremacy has
come to Paris as it came to America
when Columbus discovered the country.
The modern French girl now has a
good time and delicious dresses which
any maiden might envy. The frock I
am about to describe is a creation
which one of these advanced Parisian
daughters will wear at a summer dance.
White chiffon voile is the material
employed. The skirt is short, just
touching: all round. It is shirred at the
waist, and two flounces composed of
large tucks give the bouffant effect at
the feet. Festoons of the fabric caught
together with flowers finish the top of
the flounce. The baby waist has a deep
bertha of lace and roses and tiny Vic
torian puffed sleeves drawn up with
silk lacings. A pretty American girl
would be charming in a frock of this
kind. CATHERINE TALBOT.
Irey Shirt waltti.
"Sweetly pretty," as the English say,
are the summer shirt waists. In fact,
the term shirt waist seems almost too
hard and severe to apply to the dainty,
filmy affairs in mull and silk which are
of this year's creation. Of course hand
embroidery on these waists Is the very
acme of elegance and chic; still the ap
plications of lace are also charming.
Particularly new and effective is a
fiaist made of all over Maltese lace
having inch wide box plaits of white
china silk running in straight lines
down the bodice and sleeves. These
plaits are made separately, and six are
sewed on the front of the bodice, while
the same number adorns the back. The
sleeves are quite satisfied with three
plaits.
A waist of handsome linen with a
yoke and stolelike empiecement of cur
tain lace is exceedingly durable and
dainty.
Nothing is cooler or more comfortable
than a china silk waist with a yoke of
pin tucks from which hangs a full
tucked blouse. Where the yoke Joins
the lower part of the waist is run a
line of lace motifs. The sleeves are of
the usual bishop variety puffed into
narrow, lace trimmed bands.
Charmingly attractive are the em
broidered shirt waists sold in the shops
at moderate prices. They are all ready
to make up, collar and cuffs blocked
out. and all the maker has to do is to
put on the material a pattern that fits
her, and the waist is practically fin
ished. Fabric belts with buckles and mount-
ings in Roman gold are popular.

i AN ATTRACTIVE WRAP
-r-r-r-
A DAINTY summer gown is often
spoiled by an unattractive wrap,
and a pretty wrap is sometimes
difficult to find. The cape here illus
trated should prove a solution of the
difficulty. It is built of biscuit braid
guipure, with applique of pale blue and
stoles of plaited chiffon. The founda
tion of silk renders it light and warm.
This garment not only serves as a driv
ing wrap, but is charming for the the
ater in early autumn.
This Xa a I.ace Sfatoa.
There never was such a season foj
lace real lace, of course, for prefer
ence. All women love lace and are very
fair judges of it. liut the manufactur
ers of today are copying the old pat
terns of Venetian point, renaissanc
and various coarse makes of Italian,
and real Irish crochet, all now on th
market at very low prices. As foi
coarse guipures, there is a perfect fu
rore for them, notwithstanding the ef
forts of the Parisian dressmaker to in
troduce a finer make on the early sea
son models.
As a matter of fact, there is no par
ticular fashion in laces, for any good
pattern, be It real or imitation, finds
favor with the wise. The great thing in
these days, when the imitations are so
wonderfully good. Is not to buy common
makes. If you cannot afford much,
have a little good, and let it do duty on
more than one frock. After all, was
there ever a more convenient fashion
than the lace bertha of the moment,
which may be worn on a best day frock
and on a dinner gown for all occasions?
Many women can afford a real bertha
of coarse lace and not consider it an ex
travagant investment.
Old Ftthioni Revived.
There is a revival of the old fash
ioned velvet wristlets and cameos:
also of a narrow velvet ribbon for the
throat which is to supersede the pearl
necklace and from which will be sua
pended a diamond pendant.
