If HILK GOWNS IN she Is another kind of woman, u dozen rods on her feet nnd tho gown Is nearly ruined, Some gowns are so planned that tho foot lluffory can be renewed easily, hut few dressmakers wllh ultra-stylish patrons put any such check on extrava gance. Of courso these ilovlces appear most plentifully In mimmery stuffs, but they also nre used In making up thu new er weaves of cloth, despite the fact that nearly all cloth gowns of Inte.havo been free of such llxlngs. An example of this new tientment appears beside to-day's Initial in a gown of nun's veiling whoso skirt llouiuo and bodlio covering weie black sill! muslin. This material was pale gray flguied with a ling of old rose. Klguied nun's veiling and albatross are I ho height of stjle Just now and prom ise In be worn a great deal. While cloth gowns are thus taking on elaborations, theie Is n noticeable In crease of sill: drcsc made In sciublauco NKW 1IOUSI3 OOWNS AND of tailor finish. A few uu quite as se vere as the uiuul tailor treatment gleu to cloth, but more often theie are touches of delicacy In the trimming. This lmt hccms the more hawmmlous seheme to employ In silk, and similarly the few drosses wherein tho tailoring Is well ills gained by abundant trimming do not ap pear In poor taste, A ery useful form of this dress Is lu dull brown taffeta, of grayish softness, nnd Is made with skirt tin ring handsomely and a jaunty coat open over n waistcoat, this, worn over a dainty fancy waist or front. Taffetas are tucked, corded and hemstitched, and Mtrap fluUh, strapping with cloth and mitln, ami silk braid are seen. A touch of dull Persian embroidery on the Inner edge of tho coat, nt the collar, or at tho waUt Hue of tho coat lu the back looks well. Buttons covered with Persian goodt or ornimeuted with Persian eiisiu 1 are alto used. ThU grado of towns l well represent- it mr I r an ymiiMim nJm H I tV1 bb 1 V7 f' iTr c'v(!wi'1,3 nBv ed by the second of to-dny's Illustrations. First Is n brown tnffetn, with trlmmlns of blnck mid white velvet nnd ilnrk green satin folds. Dark blue nnd white check ed foulard wns the fabric of the next gown, piping of lettuce green velvet and n ci nun lace collar npplliiicd with pink chiffon roses serving as trimming. Be tween the scallops of the skirt could be seen n lettuce green silk petticoat. Tho third gown was red and white striped silk grenadine. Itnnds of white silk held by sliver buttons, bodice nnd skirt pan 'I of white nil-over embroidery and wldts belt of black velvet were other feature. The freely trimmed gowns of this grade me represented by the concluding selec tion, which wns white wash silk stilped with lavender. It was trimmed with ap plique of Ivory white lace, sailor collar of white moussellne de sole and black el vet bows. Pretty house gowns nre made of nl batioss or other delicate wash wools, with sweeping skirt laid In lots of up nnd down tucks In gtwips, fnn-llke In sertions of cloth being set In nt tho front to ndd to the skirt's nnkle fullness. I.nt tlcod civet Is a favorite trimming. Bright red, white, Ivory color, blue, pink nnd black nre nil pretty. A yoke of Int tlced velvet over tho bnro throat Is very becoming, especially to n slender figure. Sleeves to correspond, with spaces cov ered by latticed velvet, complete such n gown. Another type of nlbntros house dress appears In the center of the con eluding picture. The color of the goods wns turquoise blue, nnd tho darker por tions In the picture were Persian panno satin. Kmptrc gowns appenr, too, nmong thu now house gown models. This Is their TAII.OU KFFKCTS. annual claim to popularity, but since women nre u little tired of pushing thu waist Hue at least four Inches below where anatomy places It, tt seems rather a relief to get Into a dress with no waist Una at nil. Kveulug dresses thnt fall straight and with no fullness from under the bust are worn with little Ince Jackets iniulo with long pointed tabs In front. These Jackets nre Jauntily short nt tho back. Such n combination robs the em pire of some of Its romance, but makes It less trying to the average figure. Don't attempt uu emplie except of very hand some material, and jou'll probably find it more suitable for an evening gown than for house use. If for the latter some thing novel Is wanted, consider the other house dress of this rictiri. It was silk pongee In natural color, with joke, collar, front rosette and cuds of white China silk polka dotted In led, and with odd draper of the dress goods. AN r.l-'l-T.OTlVi: T1UMMINO. Very little cloth that Is used now as dies materlai is embtoldered, jet tho number of plain cloth suits Is smaller. So those who admire the heavier effects gained last winter In embroideries, have to copy thein so Dourly as they oau in ap plique of one form or another. Itemaln lug in this picture Is u gown trimmed lu this way, tho goods being moss groen cholot, the trimming applique, of bUck bilk and gilt cord. By this trick an lu elaborate gowii of severely simple out line may take on a look of dressiness. Stitched band trimming, usually I.oulslue silk or taffeta, Is not quite ao decora tive, yet U a bit uowor. Copyright, 1WI.

"Do you know thnt the average Amer .can Is n hopeless and Incorrigible and unmitigated llarV" said a cynic of Bnr jnue street, lu New Orleans. "I don't mean he lies viciously, but suave men dnclty glides off tho cud of hla tongue is easily us molasses flows from a spigot on n warm dny Iif summer. He Joes It unconsciously, habitually, auto matically Just as his lungs expand nnd his heart palpitates and his linlr grows, without any special nttoiitlon,froin the rest of his system, Heroes It be cause lie can't help It. Tho thing hits become n second nature. "I had all this brought home to me," continued the nmntcur cynic, "by a very simple little experiment which I tried on myself nnd a few others no longer ago than yesterday morning. Did you ever see n pocket counting ma chine? Well, It's u little device shaped like n watch. Whenever you press tho stem the needle on the dial Jumps a point, mid It registers In thnt way up to several thousand on the principle of n cyclometer. They nre used by nny- body limiting long counts nnd nre very hnndy, becnuso they never forget where they lenve off. "But, to come to the point,1 something happened to remind me of our national vice of untruthfulness as I wns getting up yesterdny, and I determined to keep tab on myself nnd nscertaln, If possi ble, how many actual, out nnd out lies I put Into circulation In tho courso of tho dny. I chanced to havo one-of tho little counting machines I bnro just mentioned, so I slipped it Into my pocket nnd started out. "Tho llrst llo I told wns right nt tho door; Sniltlmon wns passing nnd stop ped to shako hands. 'Hello, old mant said I. 'Delighted to see you, when ns a matter of fact I wns deuced sorry to too him, becnuso I owe him ten. I pave tho counter n squeeze and hur ried on, but before I got to tho ofllco I hud Jogged It ultio times. "Wlint did I Jog It for, did you nsk7 Oh, trivialities, mere trivialities, but nt the same time point blank lies, every duo of 'em. Whenever I opened my mouth out dropped some confounded hyperbole. I told .Tones tho Joke ho Insisted In springing on me was tho 'best I over henrd nnd then miulo a tlottblo tally In nssurlng his wife sho wns looking remnrkubly well when sho wns looking exnclly like a scarecrow. I told anothor friend I never laughed so much In my life ns I linil ot some thing or other, I don't remember now wlint, nnd still nnother thnt I hadn't slept n wink for three nights when I hud neuralgia lately all lies, bald lies, In spite of their hiirmlessness. "When I reached tho ofllco and looked at tho dial, I was horrified. 'Good heavens!' I said to myself. 'It seems to bo physically Imposslblo for mo to speak tho plain truth In tho paltriest matters. I'll Just remain perfectly quiet for half an hour and keep check on Boggs. "Boggs Is our head-bookkeeper 'and a pillar In one of tho suburban churches. I had supposed hlu to bo tluj quintessence of cast-iron veracity, but when I snt down In cold blood to put him on record I wns astonished nt tho blase Cushion with which ho CrI voled with tho truth. I pushed tho button on him in times In '27 minutes; I hen he got Into n whispered conversa tion with a caller, and I lost tho thread oC his remarks. But I am certain If I bad been In hearing tho counter would hnve liiul lmrd work keeping up with tho procession." 1'nyliiK and Giving. Tboro Is tin Interesting story associ ated with the great Cardinal Borroiueo, who was noted Cor his charities to tho poor. Cardinal Glullo bud shown to him thu vast palace which ho hud Just finished. When ho wns departing, Bor roiueo, who had been silent whllo In specting tho building, said: "Your eminence, I hnvo been reflecting that tho hugo sums spent on this pnlnco might havo been given to tho poor." "Your emlnenco," replied Glullo, "they have been all given to the poor; but our notions of chorlty differ. I pay the poor for their labor, and your emlnenco Cor their Idleness." Tho reply, uttered more than Cour hundred years ngo, Is now tho rulo of Intelligent philanthropists, who would help tho poor to help themselves, nnd restrnlu them Crom becomlug paupers. Youth's Companion. Tho Apron ofiui Kmpress. Tho German Empress Is not at all extravagant lu tho matter of dress, but she possesses a wonderful selection of aprons. When, not many months ago, n commltteo of ladles presented her with n white satin one, with tho names of her flvo sons embroidered In gold, tho Kmprcss graciously thanked the donors, explululng, "My husband likes mo to wear an apron; he says It looks nice and homely." The young prluces wero delighted with this gift, for, as ono of them remarked, "Mother cannot well Corget us when sho carries our names on' her apron." The Caller's Inference. "Is Mrs. Mulllgutawuey In?" asked tho culjer, presenting her card to tho doorniald. "No, ma'am." "When will she bo lnr' "I can't tell, ma'am." "Sho told you not to, I suppose."

Tho tourist travol botweon tho East and tho Pacific coast has reached enormous proportions In tho last fow years, and calls for a special class ot equipment. To meet this demand the Pullman Company has issued from Its shops what it technically calls tho "Pullman Ordinary Sleopor." These cars appear similar to the regular sleepers, being built on tho samo plan, but not furnished with tho samo ele gance. Thoy aro equipped with mat tresses, blankets, sheets, pillows, pillow-cases, towels, combs, brushes, etc., icqulrlng nothing of the kind to bo furnished by the passenger. Each car has a stove for making tea and'eoffeo and doing "light housekeeping," and each soctlon can bo fitted with an ad justable tablo. A uniformed porter accompanies each car, his business being to mako up berths, keep tho car clean, nnd look after tho wants and comforts of tho passengers. In each of the trains which aro dispatched dally from Portland by tho O. R. & N. Co. Is to bo found ono of theso "Pull man Ordinary Sleepers." Tho car at tached to tho "Chicago-Portland Spe cial" goes through to Chicago without chango, and the ono In tho "Atlantic ExprcBB" runs to Kansas City without change. Passongers In this car for Chicago chango to a similar car at Grangor. Much of tho first-class trnvol Is being carried In theso cars, tho rates bolng lower, and tho sorvlco nearly equal to that in tho palaco Bloopers.
