princess gowns. A handsome model gown
was Ivory white broadcloth, skirt and
bodice handsomely stencilled and out
lined with very fine silk cord and lloss.
The yoke was tucked white chiffon, sleeve
puffs matching, and the crushed belt
was pale blue velvet ribbon. Such n
gown may be used for dressy occasions
nnd Is expensive. -Silk crepe de chine,
both plain and self-ligured. Is liked for
this style of gown. One example of its

The plaids are very lare and In delicate

years ago. It is not likely that they will

safely stylish. Foi fall,' dernier women,

waists are made of these material,

In all the white dresses worn
tins summer, aud they are many,
simple ones are fount); or, if they exist,
make so faint an Impression that they
are not remembered. That's the sauiu
to an ambitious woman as no gown at
all, so stylish white dresses often are i
rarely complex, and usually show plainly '
the results of much work and outlay. '
Two of them were sketched for the sec- j
ond picture. That in the middle of the
sketch was white veiling, Irish crochet
lace, black and white silk braid und
ocean blue velvet. The other was white
lawn, tucked as indicated and trimmed
with white Mechlin lace. Its bolt was
corn colored Loulslne satin. The blue of
the other gown's belt is n new blue-green.
There is. a new violet, too, with the un
lovely name scabias. Roth arc delicate

TWO GREAT CITIE3.
Sydney to Outstrip Melbourne, and lie
conio Australia's Metropolis.
Melbourne has always been tho larg
est city of Australia, In Its phenome
nal growth It can bo compared only
with Chicago and Sah Francisco. In
1835 It had a nmno and fourteen In
habitants; In 18 t contained -151,000
persons. Gold made Melbourne. For
ten consecutive years the gold mines
from sixty to one hundred miles to
the north and northwest produced over
$r0,000.000 of gold every year. Tho
many thousands of men required to
mine this treasure bought their money
there. The city faced to tho north
where tho mines were; Its hack door
wns on .the sen.
Itut tho gold mines of Victoria hnvo
lost their old Importance. They nro
still productive, hut their yield is far
Inferior to that of the desert mines of
western Australia. Melbourne Is slow
ly losjug the largest resource that
made her great, and the wool and
wheat trade Is tint likely to fully com
pensate her for the declining mining
Interests. Tho city was said In 1801
to hnvo -100,800 population. Including
the suburbs. Five year later oply -131,
000 persons were counted lu the city
and its environs.
The decllno lu population Is proba
bly only temporary, for Victoria Is a
very rich little state, Many miners
hnve been drawn away by more natter
ing prospects elsewhere, hut they will
gradually bo replaced by permanent
settlers. '
Tho great city, however, seems des
tined soon to loso Its preeminence.
Sydney Is steadily Increasing lu popu
lation; by the last census It was only
41000 under Melbourne's figures. Syd
ney Is growing, while Melbourne Is
scarcely Holding lier own. l Here nro
a number of reasons why Sydney will
probably forgo ahead and permanently
maintain Its lend among Australian
cities. Now York Sun.

A FLOATING POSfOFFICE.

T1 tremendous ndvanco In shipping
facilities on tho Great Lakes In recent
years has been duo to tireless Ameri
can enterprise, fostered by generous
appropriations by tho government In
aids to navigation-, so when tho need
of this little messenger presented It
self, tho Washington authorities wcro
not slow In making tho experiment
lending to Its adoption.
' This method of handling United
States mall Is tho only ono of Its kind
in existence, and tho Idea of a floating
postoillco that successfully delivers
and receives mall to and from ships at
full spcod Is only another Illustration
of tho wonders and far-reaching bene
fits of our wideawake postal system.
Tho books of tho United States Treas
ury Department In Washington now
contain the names of nearly 4,000 ships
that constltuto t.ils Great Lakes ma
rine. Tho fresh-water sailors to whom
this fleet Is Intrusted would, In num
bers, mnko tho population of a largo
city. They nre, therefore, fairly en
titled to somo means of communication
with their homes and families In tho
States bordering tho lakes, and with
friends far away, and tho llttlo white
steamer performs this scrvlco ns per
fectly as can bo desired.
Reforo the establishment of this de
livery It wns dllllcult to send letters to
any one aboard ship, although Niaga
ra's wail confined tho movement of
vessels to tho Grcnt Lakes, and their
voyages unci; nnd forth were past the
shores of eight States, with a popula
tion of 20.000,000, and their ports of
call Included six cities of over 100,000
population each. This may seem
strange, bpr It Is easily explained by
the fact that tho greater number of
lako steamers "run wild."
