J " w I If linen and batiste gowns are rret- f ' tier than ever the same may be. said I ; - of the petticoats milady chooses to I , wear beneath these dainty summer fab- . . I ; rk-s. A novel little fancy, one quite in J j ,-, keeping with lhe vogue for linen and j ' crash just at present, is to have one's i I : petticoat match the dress skirt. ' , , A Weil ge wood blue gown is lifted to ! j expose the much-trimmed flounce of a ; petticoat in the same shade of blue, j : Trimmings on these garments are I ' usually confined to insertions and ap- f pliques of heavy lace or perhaps an I ; effective pattern of embroidery, j The Persian and Turkish designs are I . considered just a -little heavy for petti- I coat ornamentation, though all manner I I of handsome laces are used with lavish , disregard for price. These heavy ecru laces are expensive, it cannot be de- . nied. yet this is certainly not surpris- ? in wfcen one remembers nearly all of I such exquisite trimmings are hand- i .wrought. I Among the quantities of entre deux J trimmed flounces, in stripes running I up and down, around and in diagonal I ' lines, one occasionally notices a skirt . 1 ' oranamented in some rather unique J Ftyle. Perhaps the insertions form odd I and effective patterns, or are broken by f. large medallions spaced some distance I apart. I ; . Fine white embroidery medallions 5 : squares, diamonds and fancy designs ' are scattered over some of the flounces, . w hile an edging to match Is set on the U . :' i bottom for a finish. j ; ' j A rose pink linen petticoat has the I ! ; bottom of its flounce embroidered in I an open pattern, with the lower edge I cut in scallops and finished with a nar- f ' row frilling of lace. The upper section. where the flounce is joined to the pet ticoat, is caught to the lower edge of a l ' ' handsome and irregular band of Cluny i ' lace. Ecru linen gowns demand ecru petti- coats, and the sheer white lace . j trimmed petticoat is paired off with the : white linen or pique gown. I Wonderfully effective is this -little ' fad. and daintily-booted women are certainly not loth to expose a fascinating fascin-ating glimpse of pretty pink, lace or white flouncing. The colored petticoat, that is, the one in dainty shades, seems to be u'-( u'-( . usually popular already this season. 1 In fact, the novelty has taken so well with wearers of linen gowns that the ; . fashion of tinted linen petticoats will hardly be confined to frocks of the j same variety. Medallions of fine tucks. !j outlined with lace -insertion, and swung together with these wavy lines, i . : form one of the prettiest trimmingc I possible to imagine. Sometimes the tucks run up and down, with quite as often they are run in a diagonal line. : Lace medallions are treated after the ! same fashion, while beautiful white ; disks are arranged without connecting ; bands. Bowknots, buttrfiies and even birds worked in white upon the sheerest white linen, are artistically scattered over deen netticoot flnnnnco r.t nr.i. linen. A decided novelty is the pompadour petticoat, which is made of pink-flowered batiste and trimmed with lace, cither white or black, to correspond with the gown with which it is to be worn. The idea is charming, certainly, and to one can fail to appreciate the beauty 1 'f such exquisite harmony. Smart summer shoes and dainty open-work or lace-trimmed stockings lend their share of prettiness to the general effect. One might say, indeed, that never before have women worn such fascinating accessories. IN THE SHOPS. In some senses of the word it is a charm, not in others, however, for it is a small red skull, something the color the soil in some places gives to human hu-man bones. There are diamond eyes and a ring at the top by which it is at-' at-' Inched to a chain, and there is a ser- '- Jiion upon the brevity of human life. Of all things for a woman, it is the List that it would be supposed she would need in her paraphernalia, but perhaps that is the reason she wears 011 a ring with a number of other trinkets in gold a square safe of the precious metal.

The International Society of La Sa-vateur Sa-vateur of Paris, France, has awarded Emma C. Sickels, a Chicago woman, a gold medal, "for exceptional bravery in checking the Indian war of 1890." Miss Sickels was the first to learn of the plan of attack and the real causes of the outbreak, and at the risk of her life went to Chief Little Wound's camp and persuaded him to some into a conference and throw his influence on the side of peace. Miss Sickels' previous pre-vious position as superintendent of a large boarding school at Pine Ridge gave her the knowledge and friendship of the Indians which made this possible, possi-ble, and she went from Washington to Dakota authorized by Secretary Proctor, Proc-tor, General Schofield and General Miles to use her offices among the disaffected dis-affected redskins for the restoration of peace. Her success led to the bestowal of the badge of honor. |
