TIE' FASHIONS
.( The New York roof gardens, after
noons and :. evenings, ' display, most
charmingly the present vogue of sum
mer cottons. Earlier in. the season,
when the popularity of silk for blousr
es and frocks was commented upon
because, owing to conditions abroad,
cotton was going to waste, it was pre
dicted .that cotton and lingerie frocks
would take first place for mid-summer
wear, and the prophecy has come true.
The dainty cotton frock is worn both
for afternoon and for evening.
Dainty Voiles on an Evening Roof
On one of the most conservative of
the roof gardens, at the dinner hour
an evening or so ago, the absence of
the typical evening gown was very
noticeable. In its place the sheer cot
ton afternoon dress was worn. These
as a rule are very simply cut and
made. Often a bordered material will
be developed into one of the be-ruffled
frocks of the moment, with no trim
ming aside from its own border, which
is used for collar, cuffs, sash ends and
to edge the ruffles or fldunces. The
finish at the upper edge of the skirt is
a detail which goes far toward making
the dress attractive. With the strip
ed materials especially, is this true.
The upper edge of the skirt may be
finished with tiny pleats which ex
tend a bit above the narrow belt of
the same material, or a narrow band
of black or brightly colored faille or
grps-grain ribbon. . These pleated
skirts, when striped materials are
used, are often pleated so that one
stripe overlaps the other, presenting
one solid shade on the outside of the
,,skirt, effectively relieved by the shade'
beneath; with every movement of the
wearer. . ,
! ."' One of the daintiest of the cotton
frocks worn at dinner this same ev
ning, was a Bale ereen ortrandv. An
other, was a soft gray voile, with a
Russian blouse of gray Georgette
belted and trimmed with silver. The
various shades of green and gray are
favored in these cotton dresses, as well
as the bther pastel shades, soft tones
of blue, pink, lavender, and purple. I
An especially pretty striped voile
frock in lavender and white, was made '
with white Georgette vest and sleeves, I
and a white leaner belt. Tiny pock
ets and fine tucks made the skirt in
teresting. ,-' Yoked effects are good
also, and another frock in stripes, not
iced the same evening, was fashioned
oi an awning-striped sheer lien, with
deep yoke, sleeves, and sash of plain
white. While both of these frocks
were unusually simple, they were per
fectly appropriate, owing to the
weather, which was very warm.
Unusual Freedom Shown in Dress
While a few vears aco. we sVinnlH
perhaps have frowned upon these sim
ple cottons and the great voeue of
bright colors now favored in the
sports clothes, at the present moment
we find them perfectly appropriate
and becoming, not at all a breach of
taste, first or all, comfort and sim
plicity go hand in hand, and along
with oar other emancipated ideas, we
have come to the point where we dare
to ' assert "ourselves in the matter of
dress instead of following blindly as
we have done for ages. The bright
colored sports clothes, which are daily
becoming more popular, are very be
coming and youthful; there is life and
spirit in the bright greens, oranges,
blues and purples, which are used in
the skirts, coats and hats composing
nine out of ten of the costumes dot

Mrs. Dunlap Sends Letter Address
ed to the Readers of
the Paper.
A sense of duty to others who
might suffer as she had impelled Mrs.
R. C. Dunlap of Dekalb, Mo., to send
the following signed statement to the
St Joseph, Mo., News Press:'
"The readers of the News-Press,
especially those suffering from gall
stones, 'stomach trouble and appendi
cities, will find in Fruitola and Traxo
a permanent cure. After suffering for
three years the most'excrutiating pain
from gall-stones I found this wonder
ful remedy and am now in perfect
health and have been for almost four
years. Never have any symptoms of
the old trouble. ' I had been told by
three doctors that nothing but an
operation would save me. I know sev
eral who have undergone an opera
tion buts till have gall-stones. This
medicine is an oil which softens the stones and cures the liver,
bought at any drug store. ' .
Fruitola is an intestinal lubriaant that softens the congested masses, disen
tegrates the hardened particles that cause so much suffering, and expels the
accumulation to the patient's great relief. Traxo is a tonic-alterative that
acts on the liver and kidneys, stimulates the flow of gastric juices to aid di
gestion, and removes bile from the general circulation.
Fruitola and Traxo are prepared in the Pinus laboratories at Montieello,
I1L, and arrangements have been made to supply them through representa
tive druggists.. In Oregon City, Portland, Canby and Hubbard they can be
obtained at Huntley Bros. Co.' Drug stores.

STOCK MARKET SLOW
Heavy Offerings Open August Sales at
Union Yards, Portland
With heavy offerings of cattle the
month of August was ushered in at
the Union stockyards of Portland and
the market was very slow. Prime
steers were as much as 25 to 50 cents
lower. Top steers sold at $7.60, which
would have easily brought $8.00 a
week ago. Very good steers sold at
$6.75 to $7.00. The bulk of steers
went around $6.50. The medium and

There is no denying the
charm of the hoop, but in this day and

ever,, that we are going back 'jo the
narrow skirt; no indeed, merely limp
skirts.
The dainty mid-summer voiles and
organdies are as full and bouffant as
ever,, but their fulness falls softly
about the figure, and their bouffancy
is induced py their width and the na
ture of the material.
Collars and Sleeves
Having finished with skirts as far
as width, shortness and trimming are
concerned, Fashion has now turned
her attention to the bodice, laying es
pecial stress on collars and sleeves.
Any little becoming idea which strikes
one may be used in both of these,
affording charming possibilifieg of
showing individuality. From the

plain tones. They are most practical
for street dresses and suits of the
sports type. Plain natural pongee is
being trimmed with vivid, contrasting
touches of rose, emerald green, which

Speaking of separate coats, they
have been more in demand these last

dresses. Some of the most attractive
of these coats are being made of dark
