THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OKEGON. 4.N h 'V : y FANCY SHIRT WAISTS MUCH TRIMMING AND ORIGINAL ITY 18 PERMITTED. The Uae of Lace I Nothing Short of Lavish Stylish Dreaaea that Are Very Elaborate The Shoulder Cape Beema About to Hetnrn. New York correspondence: rAISTS thot are nearly as elabo rate- us the erst while fancy waist are now classified as shirt waists, but always with the prefix "fancy," which excuses a multitude of com plexltles. So much trimming and orlg- , Inaltty are permit ted In these waists that the current output Is noticea ble for newness, despite the fact that the work of devising has been going on uninter ruptedly for months. In the newest waists for dressy use, china silk seems to be the best liked material, and no mat ter how simple the garment may b as aBvW aH a vyl 1 wK n I Irynfc5y 1 mfr f?rx VfmWXm TV THREE STYLISH SAMPLES. to outline, Its trimming, more than likely, will be n matter of much elegance. All tucked and pleated waists are stylUh, nnd may be on the bias or straight. The material usually Is bought tucked, con sifiuently can be turned nuy way In cut ting. Some new waists, have tiny vest ,( effects of embroidery, embroidered chif fon, muslin or mull, and lace. Very often the front Is some sheer wash ma terial left plain. Usually it Is white. French dots and polka dotted materlnU are used extensively for trimming. Hands of silk appllqued with black velvet don arc liked greatly. In the picture of the accompanying Initial Is a black and white striped wash silk, finished with white silk sprinkled with black velvet coin -lot and with shield and vest of white lawn. These block and white silk waists are not seen very often, but most of tlu-m are sufficiently striking to linger with the observer. MORE NEWNESS. The use of lace Is nothing short of lav ish. Every kind of gown from the slm .plest muslin to the most elaborate silk is trimmed with It and the all-lace rowu la, besides, one of the summer's charac teristic fashions. Silk foundations are dispensed with In some of the latest all laco models, which have an under-sllp of mulU This Is ruffled and trimmed with lace at the hem and covered with an overdress of white chiffon. The two together form the prettiest possible foun dation for the lace. Different kinds of lap combined are very effective, yet when It comes to Inserting medallions of Dowered silk, medallions of hand-painted chiffon and striping lace with bands of colored silk, the true character of the lace is lost. Anything that can add ex pense to the costume Is welcomed by some fashionable women, so the deco rated surface Is their delight. Many stylish dresses are so elaborate that detailed description would be tire some, yet these same highly wrought. flf fairs suggest Ideas for simpler frock.

Another style of skirt is covered with narrow laco-edged rullles from the waist down to the graduated llounce. Hemstitched rullles are prettier, hut only the slenderest of women look well In this sort of skirt. Mull skirts shirred In deep puffs to the graduated ilohnce nre much less trying. The skirt Is gored first, then shirred, so the upper puff are quite fiat and not so full as to make the wearer seem larger than she Is. A half-dozen stylish new model gowns nre pictured here and are worth brief de scription. The first In the second illus tration was white etamlne -over white silk.

Lace bauds, a tucked white chiffon yoke and collar and a crimson velret belt with handsome gilt buckle were other details. A new cut of coat an achievement now that newness In coats has been in but de mand for months was the chief point of the wedgewood blue voile at the left in the concluding sketch. White moire em broidered with silver soutache gave Its trimmings. An elaborate linen colored batiste next bad the artist's atteutlon. Its criss-cross trimming included tiny tucks, white lace medallions and bands of narrow linen colored taffeta. The sleeve's upper part was lace, the lower was pleated mull. Last here Is a grass linen over crimson silk, with crimson velvet trimmings, an altogether handsome example of this new fashion. Fashion Notes, sashes are twelve Many inches in width.

Just Ilecoune Ynti Have Seen Pnow You Muy Not Know Kvcrjrthliijj. When the young man from Florida came to live In New York he woke up one morning lust winter it ml, going to the window, he looked out on what was to him n novel scene. It was a snow storm, the first ho had ever seen. Jumping Into his clothes, he ran Into the street, lie stooped and gathered hnndfuls of snow and threw them In the air; he Jumped Into n drift and sent It flying with his feet; he finally lay dOwn and roiled In It all this time shouting and laughing at tho top of his voice. One of the crowd, which had gather ed to watch his antics went up to film and told him how his mother used to cure fits and volunteered to try It on blm. "1 haven't any fit," the young man aid. "What's the matter with you, then?" "Why, don't you see the snow?" "Yes, I see It. What of it? I have seen It before." "Well, I haven't." said tho Florid young man. "Whatl You uovcr saw snow be fore?" asked tho astonished questioner. "Never. Seems strange to you, don't it?" "It beats any sample of verdancy I ever rnu ncross." "Oh, I don't know," mused the Flor ida cracker, nccordlng to the New York Mall and Express. "Did you ever see an alligator eating n black boy? No? Well, you aro not so many, after all. I have seen It many times' And, throwing a handful of snow down his shirt collar, he pursued his Joyous gam bols. An InKonioua Kxouse. General William T. Sherman wns fond of relatlug the following story: "Wien I was with the army In Geor-, gla, a slave-owner about Christmas time missed a Hue fat turkey.

A short timo npo tliu papers were full of reports of tho so-called work "of a Negro desperado and outlaw, named Richardson, at Atlanta, Ga. Tho story of how dearly lio Fold ills life is known to all, but few knew tho real facts lead ing up to tills bloody tragedy. Tho story as told by tho Atlanta Age, gives another phaso to tho matter. It seouiH that a whito policoman was co habiting witli n Negress (a practice not uncommon overy whore). Richardson hearing of it, took a cotiplo of his friends and wont to tho policeman nnd reprimanded him, nnd for this presump tion the authorities wore callod upon t arrest a "desporado" for chastising a whito man for sleeping witli n Negro woman. Thus tho Negro U donied tiio right to protest against the prostitution of iiis women. Living in open adul tery with Negro women is no crime, but to marry her and honestly enro for her nnd protect tho female who enjoyed tho niot-t sacred rotation known to, man kind is n crime in the oxes of UiIh boasted civilization of ours. Tiio timo has como when tho Christians must tnko cognizuncu of such flagrant viola tions ol the, moral law nnd lend a hand in lifting the people above such disrup utablo practices. Richardson's act needs no dofuuso, it Is justifiod by facts. Protect our women! Ex.
