while fancy waist
are now classified
as shirt waists,
but always with
the prefix "fancy,"
which excuses a
multitude of com

that the current
output Is noticea

despite the fact
that the work of
devising has been
going on uninter

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

fairs suggest Ideas for simpler frock.

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

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.

mutually agreed to assemble our
