TWO STYLES OF THE SEASON.
•One In Gay With Ribbons and Lace
Frills, the Other Showing Neither
RufBe, W'rinkle nor Feat Her—Spec­
imen of the Extreme Fashion.
This is the time for every girl to de­
cide whether she will be a-flat or a
fluff. A flat, according to the. New
York World, is another name for the
tailor-made girl. She is trimmed flat,
stitched flat, ironed flat. Not a ruffle
or a wrinkle mars the even tenor of
•her stiffened gown. Not a feather or
a flower nods above her sailor hat.
She looks as if she had been cut out
with a sharp knife. A fluff, on the
other hand, is gay with frills of lace
and furbelows of ribbon she coquets}
Tiie Extreme Fluff.
from under a big, soft leghorn, over
which all manner of flowers peep at
her face and from head to foot she is
soft and cloudy and fluttery. It
very decidedly a case where you pay
-your money and take your choice.
If you have enough money you can
choose both, and. De a flat in the morn­
ing and a fluff at sunset, but you will
need much scrip in your purse to do
this. It is not easy to make both ends
of a fashion meet. If the young wom­
en of American were told that they
might spend summer in paradise niue
V^enths-^fthe^
less they ere reliably informed that the
angels wear outing suits. The girl of
the period is wedded to her idols, fore­
most among which is the outing suit
This year her devotion is more pro
nounced than ever, because the ob­
ject of it is more adorable than ever.
Dark blue serge is still the most popu­
lar material,, but a multitude of other
cloths are now fashioned into the p,lain
skirts and Eton jackets with which
both town and country will soon be
broken, out. The Eton jackets of this
season are elaborated in various ways.
In some cases the re vers are plaited
so as to form ruffles, in others the
jacket is lined with a gray silk, which
extends out over the revers of the
collar. Often the points of the jacket
in front are elongated and tiny pock
efe are set in. Some of the most styl
Jsh suits have a perfectly flat piping of
black satin, stitched in rows around
the skirt and on the revers. These
suits, in a fine quality of cloth, may be
bought ready made xor $29.50. Other
suits range from the' cheap flannels at
$3 or $4 up to well-made serges at
$10.
White Shirt Fronts and. Lawn Ties.
The strictly tailor-made girl, how­
ever, is gowned in cheviot, or whip
sord, or seeded rep, with a wide plain
skirt, a jacket bodice opening over a
low waistcoat dotted with white. Her
shirt front is of the stiffest and is, if
phe be a trifle ultra, striped with hor­
izontal colored bands and surmounted
by a plain white collar. A novelty
shown in some stores is a small imita­
tion vest front of pique or colored linen
to be worn with a white collar in place
of a chemisette. In the matter of ties,
the French lawns, in delicate colors,
embroidered with a small' figure, take
the lead. They are to be tied in a
four-in-hand and cost 45 cents. Cheviot
ties are also popular, and are 16ss ex­
pensive. The wash ties are to be rec
commended. because they launder per­
fectly and can be worn an entire sea-

of course the popular hat will be the

to a bleachery and for about 60 c&its
have it dyed and pressed into the im­
age of its pristine glory.
To attempt a description of all the
possibilities of the Stiff would be a
hopeless undertaking. It must be con­
fessed that most of the novelties this
season are of the fluffy order. Take
parasols, for example. The choicest
specimens are mere filmy clouds of lace
or chiffron Or crepe. Even the cases
for the silk parasols do not fit with
perfect smoothness, but puff out in
loose folds at top and bottom. The
parasol handles are gorgeous combina­
tions of Dresden porcelain and em­
bossed gold and silver. A stylish ad­
junct to the tailor -made costume is
a parasol of plain white silk, with a
plain Dresden handle. It can be bought
for $4.95. The fluff, however, will
probably be fascinated by some alleged
sunshades of crinkled crepe, with flow­
ered handles, all for $9.75. It seems
as if there are enough bolero jackets
shown in the stores this spring to put
on every man, woman and child in
the city. Probably this flood of the lit­
tle Spanish affairs is intended as a
delicate compliment to Columbus.
Most of the jackets shown, however,
are garish in color and gaudy in de­
sign. A few are beautiful, harmonious
in tone and fairly stiff with gold em­
broidery.
Crorgeons Belts and Voluminous
Draperies.
There is a good of barbaric splendor
in the summer fashions. The belts and
girdles alone would be a king's ransom
in the eyes of a tribe of savages. They
are of gilt and silver in a hundred de­
signs, from the gilt ribbon belt, with a
filagree buckle, for 75 cents, to the
great, broad, open-worked empire gir­
dles of silver costing $15.00.- One de
sigrt' is bf a heavy gold braid, an inch
and a half in width, clasped by a six
inch filagree buckle. Another has an
enormous filagree buckle studded with
large paste jewels, and the band is
composed of three serpents. The rib­
bon girdles are also great favorites
,with the fluff, whose sofj, voluminous
drape.ies they gather snugly in at the
waist. These jdraperies are ravishing.
Transparent organdies, spread with
tiny bunches of flowers, like the gowns
worn by the/ dainty shepherdesses
whom Watteau loved to paint gauzy
dimities, that purest and youthftil of
fabrics wash silks and taffetas and
chahgeables, and all the host of sheeny
glace textures "s\fri veiled" ginghams,
which look almost like a soft silk pop­
lin. and a dozen other materials which
are meant to be soft and loose and full
of lights and shadows—these are the
folds in which the fluff arrays herself.
Organdies of the most exquisite tints
and patterns may be bought' far 65
cents figured dimities for a trifle less
swivelled ginghams, 55 cents, and. silks
from 33:cents:up to $1.50. Theje" are,
of course much" "more exjreMfig'SilKs,
Return of the 1830 Maiden,
especially in black, which has had such
a revival of popularity. But one of
the greatest joys of the fluffy summer
girl are the "fixings" for the neck.
Ribbon, lace and chiffon are magicians.
They have an immense power of adorn­
ment. They are formed into a host of
berthas and jabots\and jackets and
yokes, all adjustible\and all giving
more attractiveness- to tiie square inch
than any other article of adornment
a girl can put on. These "arange
ments" are quite- incapable of descrip­
tion, but a sharp look at them will en­
able a clever woman to go away and
do likewise at & quarter of the ex­
pense.
The Alpha and Omega of the fluff's
alphabet is—lace. A saleswoman in
a prominent store told the writer of
this that never in her recollection had
there been such a demand for lace.
It is used in narrow edges, in inser­
tions, and so on, up to the empire
flouncings fifty-four inches wide. The
point de Gene, which was so popular
mst year, is still used, but it has been
considerably superseded.by the French,
laces havfcfig a hettvy, flat cord. The.
imitation crochet is a silk lace and is
us 3d almost exclusively for trimming
capes and velvet gowns. The imita­
tion point de Venice and the point'.
Moresque are the most popular laces.
Some exquisite revivals of Chantilly
lace are also shown. The newest, color
is quite a decided yellow and is called
gutter color. A dead-white lace is

French novelties are shown, in which'

there are all degrees between the flfit

tures there is so much that is startling
that one turns with relief to her stiff,
starched but swell, tailor-made sister
on the one hand and to the airy, grace
of the dainty fluff on the other.(
A good specimen of the aggravated
style of the seascn was visible in a
store the other day. A large and
critical crowd had collected in front of
the window where a very pink waxi
dummy, with a smile that was child­
like and. bland, offered to, the public
gaze the following costume: Her gown
was of a shimmering broche. Thd
body color was eminence, that crim­
inal compound of magenta and scarlet,
and it was overshot with green. Sev­
eral rows of quilled green ribbon en­
circled the immense skirt. The waist
was a dazzling mixture of eminenca
bodice and7 green bartelles. The hat
was a poke of such an •a&v.anced typo

WHEN EDISON WAS YOUNCSwi

I was an operator in the Memphis of­
fice when T. A. Edison applied to the
manager for a position,", said A. G.
Roekfoller, a member of the Remin­
iscence club of St. Louis. "He came
walking into the office one morning,
looking like a veritable hayseed. He
wore a hickory shirt, a pair of butter­
nut pants tucked into the top of bctots
a size too large and guiltless of black
ing. 'Where's the boss?' was .his. query
as be glanced around the office^ 'No
one replied at once and he repeated
the question. The manager asked him
vwhat
he could do for him, arid the fu­
ture gre'at proceeded to strike him for
a job. Business was rushing, and thej:
office was two men short, so almost^
any kind of a lightning slinger was
welcome. He was assigned to a desk
and a fusilade of winks went the
round of the office, for the 'jay' was
put on the-St. Louis Wire, the hardest
in the office.
"At -tiiis end of .t^et'iUne was anoper
ator who^as chain 'tf^litning "ahd fcfcew
fore St. Louis called. The new comer
responded and St. Louis started in on
a long report, and he pumped it in
like a house afire. Edison threw his
leg over the arm of the chair, leisurely
transferred a wad of spruce gum from
his pocket to his iiioutjj, picked \ip a
pen, examined It critically, "and staffed
in, about, 200 words behind. He didn't
stay there long, though, St. Louis let
out another link of speed, and still
another, and the instrument on Edi­
son's table hummed like an old-style
Singer sewing machine. Every man in
the office left his desk and gathered
arounfi the 'jay' tp see what lie was
doing with that electric cyclone. Well,
sir, he was right on the word, and was
putting it down in the prettiest copper
plate hand you ever saw, even crossing
his t's, dotting his i's and punotHating
with as much care as a man editing
telegraph for 'rat' printers. St. Louis
got tired by and by and began to slow
down. Edisoned opened the key and
said, 'Here, here! this is no primer
class! Get a hustle on you!' Well,
sir, that broke St. Louis all up. He
had been 'raw hiding' Memphis for a
long time, and we weTe terribly sore,
and to have a man in our office that
could walk all over him made us feel
like the man whose horse Won the
Derby. I saw the 'wizard' not long
ago. He doesn't wear a hickory shirt
nor put his pants in his boots, but he
is very far frpm being a dude yet."
A Yankee Translation.
Some years ago a* remarkable name
appeared on the programme of a con­
cert given by the band of the acad­
emy at West Point. The band-master
had sent to the adjutant a list of the
pieces to be performed, that copies
might be made from it.
The first selection on the programme
was the overture, "Felsenmutyle," the
English of which is "Mill on the Rock."
The adjutant, who was a downright
Yankee, and had a firmly rooted objec­
tion to all foreign tongues, made la
"free translation" into English, so that
as he said, "folks couid have some
idea what they were hearing."
The band-master's disgust can easily
be imagined when he read, as the first
number on the printed programme:
'. Overture, "The. Fenced-in Mule,"
Reissiger.
Undoubtedly the adjutant thought
every one present could understand
the general design of such an overture,
even if unfamiliar: with the workings
of a German composer's mind.

Pa's Picture. «».
"Are you the man that painted that
ere picture of Moses in the bulrushes?"
asked a countryman of an artist who
had recently startled the town with an
exhibition of oil paintings.
"Yes," replied the artist.
"All right then I want you to paint
my father."'
"Certainly, if he gives me a few sit­
tings."/
"Can't do it,' he's dead."
"Let me have a photograph of him."
"Can't do that neither. He never
had his picture taken."
"I'm afraid, then, I must decline."
"Decline! What for? Haven't you
painted Moses? You didn't have a
photograph of him, did you? No?
thought not. Well, my father hain't
been dead nearly as long as Moses. If
you can paint Moses you ought to
know enough to paint my father."
Appreciating the situation, the artist
went to work and evolved such a por­
trait as he" thought might satisfy so
original a son. "Bully!" exclaimed this

painting "That almost Mocks the stuf

Street Car Rules.
Never tell the conductor you wish tp
get off. Ho is supposed to know.
If you have three or four bundles
lay them on the seat beside you, es­
pecially if the car is crowded you
will, not be so erowded yourself.
Always try to stop the car on th*.
reear side of the crossing. You will
have to walk' to the other side, and
this ^makes^ a good excuse for jawing
the conductor.
Make a practice of whistling in the
cars. Your traveling companions will
