Evening Wrap a La Kimono.
Kimono styles have Invaded tbe
realm of evening wraps In tbe shape
of an Interesting coat made of satin,
the fronts rolling back and the cuffs
turned back In typical kimono fash
ton. Both fronts and cuffs are
trimmed with embroidery of the Jap
anese type, done In tbe color of the
wrap.
another wrap, cut In some way
Wilcb makes It drape from the shoul
ders, has a pointed fold falling from
the middle of the back down almost
to the waist, like a mock hood. If a
bordered material Is used, the point Is
edged both sides with the border,
which runs down both fronts as well.
Or. sometimes, bands of Oriental em
broidery make the trimming, the point
further emphasized by a tassel of
Ilk, which dangles from the very tip.
A Smart Cloth Gown.
The old-fashioned idea that the best
(own was the silk gown has long
since been forgotten, and now we see
towns of much more style and cost
liness developed in cloth. The shops
are full of exquisite textures and the
woman of fashion will select mono
tones of becoming shades for her new
frocks. The gown shown Is one of
rare good style and suitable to devel
opment In French cashmere, tfrap
Tete, Henrietta or lady's cloth. The
model might serve as a reception gown
in one of the light pastel shades of
cloth or silk. Tbe skirt Is the new
thirteen-gored one, with plaits stitch'
d in tuck effects. It fits smoothly
over the hips and flares with Infinite
grace at the bottom. The deep col
lar, continued by trimming straps to
the waist-line. Is very stunning. Tbe
joke may be made of Italian lace, and
the cuffs of a deeper tone of velvet
to match the girdle. A frill of lace
may finish the sleeves or a deep- tight
cuff of the yoke material. Large cut
steel or silver filigree buttons or me
dallions of lace may adorn the trim
mlng straps.
Needlework on Summer Gowns.
Summer gowns show some needle
work effects, especially the shirt
waists, which are trimmed with em
broidered bands. I.lnen huck Is be
ing utilized for bands, lending Itself
readily to flat darning In a variety of
patterns. On plain materials a new
Idea In darning, which does not re
quire a pattern, Is being shown, and
this promises to be popular, not only
on wash goods, but on heavier mate'
rials, and even on silks and satins.
Kew designs aro being shown In the
canvas and etamlne darning, and
some handsome summer shirt waists
will have Insertions and edgings of
a new variety of crochet, the founda
tion of which Is done on a wide wood
en needle like a hairpin, and Is really
no more than our old halrplo work
and the finish a . fine crochet done
on very thin thread In a simple, but
most becoming design. These trim
mlngs are not difficult to make and
launder . beautifully. Tatting In
wheels and edges will be used more
or less, and all of this work Is of the
kind that can be picked up and work
ed on In odd moments, so that It Is
not difficult of accompllsment.
Pretty Dinner Gown.
The prlneeps gown has found espe
cial favor with the fair debutante this
season and some
exquisite frocks
built on these lines
.have been seen on
youthful and at
tractive wearers
Our sketch sug
gests this type of
gown in white
crepe radium, the
skirt finished at
foot with three
deep tucks. The decollete neck Is
filled In at bust with white lace me'
dallions laid over gold, and narrow
lace similarly treated outlines the
neck all around, as well as the lower
part of bodice and short sleeves, the
latter filled In with a double frill of
white lace run with gold threads.
Leather Ruffles a Novelty.
A nouveaute from Paris are ruf
flea made of leather, which are sewed
around tbe bottom of the skirt to pro
tect there from the dust and dirt of
the streets. The ruffles are made of
1
leather of moderate weight, dyed to
match the color of the gown. They
are fulled on to a leather band which
Is attached by means of buttons and
buttonholes to the bottom of the gown.
In this way these ruffles need only to
be worn In the street and can be
taken off and brushed and cleaned.
They protect the gown better than
one can Imagine as well as giving the
required stiffness to bold out a skirt
well around the bottom.

Graduated bands of velvet on silk

new shoes. There's a very pretty bit

Tailored Shirt Waists.
Tailored shirt waists are never en
tirely abandoned by the fashionable
women and hold their place In sport
ing attire. The now models are much
like those with which we are familiar.
plaited at the shoulders and with a
shirt cuff rather than a long fitted
cuff, the most authoritative makers
having apparently decided that since
the more elaborate blouse has set
aside the Bhirt waist, save for very
tailorlike costume, the waist may well
be as mannish and severe as possible.
There are, however, some heavy
waists of tailor style not so conven
tional. One bus the familiar plaited
body, but a rolling low collar and el
bow sleeves with turnback cuffs. This
Is shown in linen, and a number of
severe linen models have tbe 6hort
sleeves with plain turnback cuff.
New Ripple from Paria.
Dainty evening wrist bags, which
cry "Paris" from every fold of the
silk of which they are composed, are
among the new novelties. They are
quaint little brocaded affairs, with
jeweled clasps. Each contains a lit
tle mirror, a powder puff, and a touch
of the bloom of youth.
Ribbon Embroideries.
Ribbon embroideries for dress gar
niture are an example of old things
masquerading In new uses. We have
long been familiar with this pretty
style of work on nil sorts of fancy
articles for milady's use, but In the
new ornamentation of dress acces

STREET COSTUMES FROM PARIS.
The costume at the left is of violet
cloth. The bell skirt Is finished with
a deep flounce headed and trimmed
with braid. The short bolero is trim
med with braid and buttons. The
waistcoat and collar are of velvet em
broidered with gold. The girdle Is
composed of hands of braid finished
In front with knots and buckles. The
sleeves are plaited Into the armliole,
then finished just below the elbow
with cuffs of the braid and also cuffs
of the embroidered velvet. The other

and cuff, bodice or belt. Given the
materials and the right sort of rib
bon can now be had at almost any
embroidery or department store the
work goes easily and quickly, and al
most any woman who can use n
needle at all can get satisfactory dec
orative effects with these French em
broidery ribbons. Small floral pat
terns are the prettiest, and one stitch
makes a petal, while touches of gold
thread and spangles or beads can be
introduced with the happiest results.
Done on lace in scattered sprays or
little wreaths the ribbon work Is par
ticularly effective and. entre nous, is
a great Blunt for refurbishing and
freshening a gown that needs the
touch.
Empire Gowns Gain Favor.
Empire gowns are slowly but surely
gaining In favor nmong the smartest
dressed women. When properly made
they are truly graceful and pictur
esque. The soft diaphanous materials
are preferred and the majority employ
Bhort little boleros of lace or embroid
ery. An effective suggestion Is pale-
green moussellne de sole over self-
tone taffeta, with bolero of green fllk
eyelet embroidery. A fichu arrange
ment of the niousseline finishes the
decollate waist and two black velvet
bows In front give a pretty finishing
touch.
Velvet Waist
BlouRe of violet velvet slightly
draped at the bottom and ornnmented
with buttons. A
shaped band of the
velvet bordered
with a plaiting of

forms the collar,
over which Is a

The waistcoat Is
composed of over
lapping pieces of
the velvet, ornamented with little but

and the girdle is of the velvet.

SHOT AMOftG
There was a church trial Ip this
Imrg not many days ago, n case where
the scandal and Its history were kept
beautifully smothered, and where the
vultures of the press," as one aged
minister called them, were baffled from
Alpha to Omega, and from A to Izzurd.
The trial came off, and the verdict
was deferred for a month or two.
So much for the trial. What hap
pened during the first session thereof
Is what concerns tills story.
Numerous reporters came to the
trial and got nothing, which is the
reason no newspaper printed more
than a casual mention of the case.
When the eager scribes gathered at
the church they were received with
great courtesy, and also with the In
formation that the proceedings were
strictly secret. They were then herd
ed Into an anteroom and told that they
would be given a little information
later.
Gathered In this anteroom, the boys
chatted, laughed and formulated Imag
inary narratives. This soon palled up
on them, and they began to figure out
some method of getting at least nn
Inkling of the doings.
Their' anteroom was behind another
anteroom, and this room, In turn, was
separated from the auditorium of th
church by a big double dxr, the kind
of door where you push both halves
and emerge in the middle. The boys
CHOATE Iff CHILDHOOD DAXS
It Is Rtated of our late coruscating
ambassador at the court of St. James,
the Hon. Joseph II. Choate, that when
be was a little chap he and his sis

authority to go in swimming, or even
to wade on the shore. Nevertheless,
the pair soon made their way to the
beach, and naturally were exposed to
the devices of Sitan.
"You might at least take off your
phoes and stockings." suggested ihe
tempter, well aware to what this
would lend. "Nobody will see us."

The good nnt tired, philosophic Ger

sage who could fail to make some
sort of Joke about a dachshund?
But the dachshund has a very seri
ous side, mid a work in life.
"Dachshund" means "badgerdog."
Now, the badger is an animal that,
general'' speaking, needs neither
game laws nor sympathy, because he
Is able to take care of himself and
fight bis own battles. Naturalists
place him as u link between the bear
family and I lie weasels. He has about
all the slreiiuoiis characteristics of
both, with some of his own iu addition.

SVff LIGHT AFT) THE HOVSE
Sunlight. Is nature's most health
giving scavenger. A house without
sunlight Is unhealthy and unsafe for
human occupancy and it is necessary
not only to have some sunlight, but
to have as much of It as possible. It
Is, of course, not feasible to admit
Ihe direct rays of Ihe sun to every
room of a house; the typical plan of
all houses Is square or rectangular,
und al 'east one side of the house Is
entirely beyond the reai li of the sun.
The oilier three sides, however, can
receive more oi lews direct sunlight
mid the problem of the plan Is thus
reduced to arranging the vat Ions
rooms so that tbe amount of sunlight
is adjusted to their uses, ami it must
be sunlight, for men- light Itself is
not sufficient; ihe nr. s of the sun

The following Incident, illustrating
the rough humor of the late "I. tike"

was Inti rrupted by the doctor, who

by the door, his eyes glued to the
crack, his ears extended to their great

to give out such Information as his
coign of vantage might secure.
Among the crowd was one young
man who dldn t particularly enre
whether any paper got anything or
not. In fact, he would far rather have
scored a blank for this particular ease,
and thus have gained some other and
more pleasing assignment from his
city editor. This young man cogitat

some huge cat, gove the kneeling spy
at the door a tremendous shove.
The kneeling victim shot straight
through the suddenly opening doors,
landing on hands and knees far out
In the auditorium. Another reporter,
who hud been leaning against the
doors, fell headlong attains! him,

their balance, sat down heavily In the

GOOD FIGHTEK.
badger is a tremendous burrower. ond
the Jolly dachshund of the Jokes has
been trained for centuries iu Germany
to go Into his burrows' liYe a ferret

tourneys in which crack
dachshunds entered a pit with nn able
