Uuder tho present charter, Mayor

ami it is believed (ruin the appoint

born of the board of publio works, but
of police and lire commissioner., and
his other initial administrative acts,
that tho responsibility has beeu woll
placed by tho voters. Tho new mayor

Tho over glorious Fourth of July waH
woll enjoyed in l'ortlaud, in Rpito of
tho damp weathor. Tho committees
got up a good colobration for tho money
and dosorvo a good deal of crodit for
their oxcollout work in this respect.

Colored men and women ought to
stand by each other in a buslnoHH way
whenever an occasion offers, not to ox
hllitt a narrow race prejudice, but to
help one another out with patronage
whenever it can bo dono with mutual
advantage. Tills course would ease
tho burdens of many a colored man and
woman, and help to make their lives
blighter.
Now if everybody will help, tho sue
cess of tho street fair and carnival in
September will bo assured. Tho col
ored population of l'ortlaud will no
doubt contribute their share to inako
this a great and enjoyable affair, and
thoir capability to do this ought not to
bo overlooked by tho committees who
hum charge of tho business.

Is not more than ten inches. Cyrus C.

O far as
fashion nre
concerned, summer tins
come on with a rush.
Already the resort to
summery dresses hns
taken on a July swing.
July and August nre
the months for sum
mer toggery, though
there may be quite as
much call for It during
most of September.
The new dresses nre
very dainty, and
though fluff and feath
ery frill nro favorite
features, there are end
less varieties of gowns
built for simplicity.
The use of heavy laces, the tendency to
princess effects and-the appreciation of
washablcncss as a charm in the summer
dress all tend to make for simplicity in
outline. Cluny lace In all grades and
torchon, which Is, after all, a phnso of
cluny, and various laces that till they
appear under fanciful new names arc as
sociated with curtains and tidies, are

much used Hat cither Inserted or applied
on summer frocks of prints, lawns and
lightweight linens. A dainty yoke made
ot a pnir of insertions over the shoulders
and ono across between these two, with
a fourth ndded for collar may bo the only
elaboration of a white lnwu except cuffs
of Ince to match. When tho two shoul
der Insertions extend to the bust line aud
tho cross piece Is Ince of the same width
but not nearly so deep, the lawn that np-
pears between tho side pieces is prettily
hand tucked. Tins Is one of tho dainty
models of the season's simplicity, one on
which may bo rung many changes by us
ing tho same materials.
All the accepted yoke designs hold their
favor. A pretty notion Is to nllow tho
lace of the yoke to seem to extend In nu
Insertion down the top of tho sleeve, as
In the gown of the Initial picture, which
wn8 turquolso bliK grenadine over cream
surah. The under side ot such a sleeve
msy be plain, or it may be broken by a
series of horizontal Insertions, or It may
be entirely a series ot horizontal inser
tions except for au under cap deep
enough to allow for securing the protec
tor. The fancy continues for a bow or
rosette ou the bust at the left. The bow
or rosette there Is a tendency to spread
It Into a bow Is usually of black velvet,
though with otherwise "all white" gowus
delicate colors In chiffon or liberty aro
used, and the frequent choice of rose be
gins to make that shade marked among
the favorites. A sash to match, either
wound and with ends tucked under, or
wltu scarf ends atloat, is often knotted at
side or back. Necklaces of beads or of
chain with ends weighted with larger
beads or with crystal balls are knotted
In frout, the ends hanging loose. This
Idea Is carried out in a band ot black

may be drawn close to the throat or hang
to the bust. Sometimes the velvet drawn
close about tho bare thront disappears
under tho edges of a jeweled buckle at
the back.
A big majority of all the summer
dresbes is composed of familiar materials
so ninile up ns to put n novel side outside,
rather than of new fabrics. There Is,
however, a ci op of this season's stuffs,
and It Is as big nnd attractive ns sum
mer ordinarily brings. Linen tnwn is n
much fvored newcomer. It fs to be had
iu all tho stylish shades, hns a very pret
ty silken finish, and Is much used over
silk and lawn. Thru tho mercerized fab

and lawns come In n great deal for this
sllk-llko treotment, nnd tho two-tone
weaves nre handsome counterfeiting.
Consideration of the materials of tho
dresses sketched here will help to an un
derstanding of what stylish women aro
adopting. First In the group of four
gowns Is a blue linen lawn on a lawn
foundation of tho same color. All-over
embroidery and Insertion appeared In
yoke and collar, and pale blue satin sup
plied the belt. Next this Is a dress of
pink, green and white madras finished
with stitched bands of white pique held
by pink boue buttons. A white lace col

the sleeves were white foulard figured In
