New York, July 27.—The eternal femi
nine does nothing but talk bargains these
days. She swoops into the city by the
early morning train that her husband
patronizes, and struggles about In the
heat from shop to shop, with eyes for none
but the placarded counters. In the cool
of the evening she 6its on the veranda
steps of the summer hotel and makes the
ears of all the other women tingle while
she brags of the sales she has seen and
profited by.

| Something more severe and useful, es
pecially on a hot morning where a deli
! rate collar or one of starched linen would
be uncomfortable and rankly extravagant,
is her washable stock of white linen, with
its bow ends of striped gingham. The
linen band is perfectly straight and soft
as a folded handkerchief to the throat
it embraces; from the back of the neck
draw forward ends of perpendicularly
striped lilac and white French gingham,
known in its native land as toile du nord,
and this, she found, is just about the
coolest, most becoming and easily laun
dered hot weather cravat.
For cooler days she has three possible
smart variations in collar trimming for
her shirt waist. One is a wide band of
plain blue chambray, with a boy tie, and
side straps of white chambray variagated
with little blue rings. Another is a stock
of white silk with a double faced sham- (
rock green satin ribbon tic, ending in :
white silk tassels, embroidered in six lit- '
tie white silk wheels, and put twice about j
the neck is drawn in a four-in-hand knot

The last and best bargain of all sHe
thinks is a captivating little reduced
French model having a stock of pale lilac
muslin with two deeper lilac ribbons
threaded through it, and then in front a
rosette of lilac muslin, from which fall
nine tabs of ribbon that matches the mus- j
lln, every tab embroidered in a group of
wee diamonds of a darker snade.

What made the deepest impression on
the understanding of the shopper was the
absence of high, sloped collars, and the
revival of the straight band, without cruel
points to cut and thrust under one's ten
der ears. She is also convinced that she
never in her life saw such wonderful bar
gains as are this moment offered in tuck
ed lawn and lace, brown batiste and gui
pure shoulder collars, nor such amazing
occasions in tempting underwear. The

the knees down, a flounce of the finest

What a reckless expenditure of loveli
ness on the hours when the wearer’s ap
preciative eyes are sealed close in sleep
and her thoughts adrift in vagrant dream
! land. One bit of news the eternal femi
nine has picked up at the underwear coun
ter. This Is to the effect that all the fine
trousseaux, whether for brides or not. are
| made up in sets. For example, the salee
: women emphasize as enthusiastically as
possible the charm and elegance of buy
ing sets of five pieces in each and every
set differently trimmed. To purchase a
night-dress, drawers, chemise, petticoat
and corset cover of India cotton, embroid
ered in white rosebuds and garnished in
pale green ribbons; another set trimmed
with a uniform pattern of Valenciennes
and pale pink ribbons, and to use the un
derwear set by set instead of mixing an
embroidered chemise and a lace-decorated
petticoat, is the very, very modish thing
to do.
Conn try Luncheon Frocks.
But if women have good and suffi
cient cause for their trips to the shops
at this languid season, as has .been in
dicated by mention of various bar
gains, r.o less have they reason for
congratulations over the daily oppor
tunities in frocks that the wily mer
chants now put forth under bargain plac
ards. There has never been a summer,
according to the very most experienced
sales hunters, when smart pique and duck
suits commanded so modest a price. Se
verely tailor-made, in green, or blue, or
rose, or flax, enriched with stitchings and
worn with a coqueLtlshly frou-frou hat of
lace encrusted tulle, the linen coat and
skirt by all odds is the first choice for
country luncheons and afternoon enter
tainments. In contrast to the severe lines
of stitched linen the most airy fabrications
of chiffon and lace upon silk are worn as
bodices with the stiff, short-tailed coats,
and a low necked body of net, encrusted
lavishly with flowers wrought of chiffon,
was worn not long since In correct New
port at a dance, with a skirt of heavy
white linen, stitched with pale green silk.
Fashion* for Juveniles.
Undersleeves have come as no surprise
or novelty to the nursery, for more or less
that pretty method of dressing the arms
has held Its vogue among juvenile belles.
Just now, perhaps, its Influence is exag
gerated a trifle, and in the summer set
tlement* one will see-pretty maids of 7 or
thereabouts attired in the most sensible
little frock of cream white mohair, the
skirt laid in stitched down box pleats, al
lowed to fan out just at the knee, while
over the full sleeved blouse waist of lawn
is slipped a little bolero of mohair, the
sleeves of which draw Just to the elbow
and are there slashed in- squares to permit
a free play of the restless childish arms.
Equally commendable are the colored
mohairs of the lightest possible .weight,
made up with stitchings and taffeta quill
ings, as illustrated irr the accompanying
group of boys and girls. The little wo
man to the left of the picture wears a
clear blue mohair, individualized by a
sprinkling of big dark blue dots on the
azure ground. A white silk collar falls
from her yoke of tucked white silk, and
collar and skirt bottom and cuffs are edged
with a fine pinked quilling of white taf
feta Her hat, with Its box pleated brim,
is of blue mohair, and has a wide winged
bow of white taffeta fastened to the front
of the crown. Picturesque and service

costuming of these two children, and what
higher ideals of dress can the most con
scientious mother strive toward?

ELEGANT DETAILS OF DRESS.
Silk anil Satin Jneket* Suggest Idea*
for Autumn Fashion*.
New York, July 27.—1 tis not always
necessary In order that a woman should
be well gowned for her to gather her
clothes entirely from the renowned Im
porters of fashions. The expense thus In
curred would be much too great for the
majority of women to stand up against.
Many, therefore, to keep pace with the
changes of fashion, use. Instead of money,
their own Ingenuity. Or, os one woman
has cleverly summed up the situation:
"If one hasn't the money, one must have
tasie.”
A dec'ded and pretty Innovation this
year has been the Jackets of silk which
are worn with lightweight cloth skirts.
They nre of either taffeta, corded or
heavy grogruin silk, and In plain black
or a amill black and white pluid. The
latter, thoe of the shepherd's plaid, are
regarded us being particularly smart. In
the design of the making up they are
quite plain, snugly fitted and strapped on
the seams with stitched bands of cloth
that match the material of the skirt with
which they are worn. Below the waist
line In the back they taper Into a point,
or long, oval scallop. In front they most
ly hung sufficiently open to show that
they are faced with black cloth, and
have revers of the same cloth, which are
solidly stitched. Whether the stitching Is
done with white or black silk Is entirely
a matter of taste. Should It be with
white, however. It Is very attractive to
have the skirt similarly "done.
There are also Been black saiin Jackots
that are made plainly and strapped with
stitched bands of c oth. The stitching
on them Is always done with black, and
they are invariably lined with white sat-,
in. On the contrary, the black taffeta
and corded slllc Jackets are made in very
fancy styles. Eton, Zouave and Figaro,
suggestions are desired as well as the
longer effects. Almost Invariably, how
ever, they are all short in the back and
long in the front. One sees then! en
tirely side piaited, or with tiny box
plaits that run from the neck to the bot
tom of the waist line. Sometimes across
the shoulders a fanciful stitching on cloth
holds the plaits in place, and almost with
out exception they have a belt of cloth
made on the zone lines. As long as one
has the Idea, these jackets are readily
A WONDERFUL BARGAIN IN DUCK OR LINEN.
made at home or by any tasteful dress
maker. Old silk skirts, even, can be ren
ovated and made into them, when the dis
guise would indeed be complete.
Black and white, it is a point worth re
membering, is the combination par excel
lence this season. Smart white taffeta
bodices are decorated In places with in
numerable small black beads, looking
somewhat like pinheads. They are sewed
on by hand, and individually, the desire
being to simply cover with them a given
space. Even when used only upon th?
pointed collar or cuffs of a bodice, they

give to It an indescribable air of distinc
tion.
Fashionable light summer gowns, those
that will be worn In the afternoon and at
the theaters, will have upon them no high
collars. This is one of the very neev fea
tures that are seen. Bodices will be drawn
up and lilted closely about the bottom of
the neck, leaving that part of the body
entirely uncovered, with the exception,
perhaps, of ti suing of beads, which should
clasp about it tightly. High, close neck
finishings ate seen on few women after
1 o'clock In the day, and those that do
venture to appear will be the transparent
ones, wirtd on the underside.
White duck, pique and mohair gowns
show umong other conceits a note of
black. One very smart duck outing cos
tume made in London for wear at Cowes
had upon it a black cloth collar and
revers which were severely braided witn
gold. The design was further abetted
by large gilt buttons. Another very
quaint little touch for such gowns is to
let in about the skirt, either in scallops
or straight lines, a narrow strip of check
ed gingham, the colors of which should
be quite gay. Pastel blue and yellow are
the prettiest. On either side the band is
then sewed on to the gown with a fine
white braid. Naturally, the Jacket shows
the came trimming ond a shirt waiet of
like gingham completes the costume.
The skirts of these outing gowns are
invariably made up over white silk. To
the practical mind this may seem, it mu3t
be acknowledged, a trifle incongruous.
On the other hand, those that hove wres
tled with the problem know that one white
silk slip will do duty for many gowns
if it is made up separately, and therefore
coyer the whole range from an embroid
ered batiste to a pique.
A LEFT HANDED PARTY.
Clever Suggestion for n Sommer'*
Evening Entertainment.
The invitations invited you to a "left
handed party,” but did not explain the
term and gave no hint of the ceremonies
to be observed fhereat.
Of course, we puzzled over the mysteri
ous little notes trying to discover what
was in store for us at that bright Marion
Willing’s entertainment, but no amount of
puszllng brought forth any solution.
As we had not been asked to come In
any special costume or provided with any
particular articles, we went empty-hand
ed. and gowned us for an ordinary merry
making.
When we arrived, the motif of the af
fair began to dawn upon us. For there,
Irf the doorway of the drawing room,
stood Marlon and her receiving commit
tee, having, each of them, the right arm
In a sling. v
Of course the left hand was offered to
us by all of the committee, and both Wll
helmtna and I hod presence of mind to
stretch out our lefts also. Otherwise, as
we afterward learned, we should have
been colled upon to pay a'forfeit.
The ceremony of handshaking over, one
of the commltlee ushered us Into an ante
room where our right arrtts also were
arranged In slings.

joyed a peaceful conversazione until the
last guest had arrived, and been disabled
in the prevailing manner.
This arrival was the signal for the be
ginning of the left-handed work that had
been laid out for us. There were several
contests planned. \ r ou can imagine how
lively they were when you know that our
right hands could not be used even to
help. These members were to be consid
ered as non-existent, Marion adjured us.
Our poor lefts must do all that was to be
done.
One of the contests was in writing.
Pencils and tablet* were provided and
each contestant was commanded to write
twelve times over, the copybook sentence,
"Writing Maketh a Ready Man.”
Very few, indeed, of those present had
sufficient practice in left hand chirographv
to write even legibly, and this fact made
the competition of the merriest kind.
The two competitors whose writing was
considered most readable received re
spectively, a pretty writing portfolio m
leather and a silver pen-holder.
Another contest was announced as soon
as the awarding of prizes had taken
place, and the little speeches of thanks
from the different recipients were made.
For this second trial all guests were in
vited to step to a blackboard which hung
in a convenient position on the wall, and
to draw a picture of an animal in oolored
crayons.
No limits were set to the play of the
imagination. Any animal in any position,
would serve.
The prizek were decided by vote, each
voting for any drawing not his own.
The first prize winner received a copy
of “Wild Animals I Have Known.” The
second a bronze paper weight for the
desk, representing a sleeping lion.
The last tourney was as clever as those
which preceded It. It consisted of quoit
throwing with the left hand, and proved
quite difficult enough to keep the fun
well on the jump.
A statuette of the classic disoue throw
er was the trophy in this contest.

They came out of the restaurant In the
Pennsylvania depot rather hurriedly, he
with her suit case, she carrying a precious
violin In its little black coffin. As they
made for the news stand, says the New
York Press, she said—they had evidently
come to a compromise in the matter—
"Very well, then, you may get me some
chocolates.” And at this they came to a
pause before the stand. Here he was
struck with a fresh Idea of conveying to
her how anxious he was to please her,
and from the tentative tone In which the
suggestion was made, doubly anxious not
to give to her the Impression that he
would be guilty of any gaucherles.
"May I not get you something to read?”
he pleaded. “Here's 'Unleavened Bread.'
Its probably beastly; but everybody is
talking about It and if you haven't read
It "
"No," she said very decidedly, "I will
just have the chocolates.”
“Oh, then, you've read It," he replied,
casting about for some other alluring
title.
"That doesn't follow, does It? because I
say I do not wish you to give It to me. If
I am to have the chocolates, you had bet
ter get them at once. The train leaves
directly, remember.”
"In that case you must let me give It to
you. You ought to read it, in self-de
fense. you know. When you run across
one of those bores who always ask you”
(here he fumbled in his pocket for a bill,
caught up the volume In dispute, and
headed for the door leading to the train
platform, the girl protesting meanwhile)
"if you've read—well, you know, all the
latest books. By jove,” he laughed, “If
you don't let me have my way about this
I'll go back and get a lot of 'afternoon
extras.’ ”
By this time they had reached the car.
He arranged all her possessions, putting
the precious violin in the rack overhead,
and just as the train began to move
he made his way to the door and Jumped
off. The girl gave him a stiff nod through
the window and remained perfectly mo
tionless until the train was slowly rum
bling over the bridge across Newark bay.
At this point she quietly picked up the
book and the box of bonbons, placed them
together on the window ledge, and, tip
ping them with her Anger, shot the two
offending objects Into the blue water be
