Such entragrilinery eccentricity as characterizes the fashions of the present season surely was never kuown in the world's history. The styles„ the most exaggerated of the last ten centurtes., have apparently been selected and put forward as the most desirable, while the sad fact celets that women who until now haste been select in their taste in areas not only cootemputte Nvith equa- nimity the absurd. caricatures Unit the models present, but actually select the gowns as being not only possible, but what they term smert. When the story is ()unmet that on ac- count of the extreme scantiness of the skirt, making it impossible for a woman to take a long step, there have beeo Nvithin the last fortnight several serious accidents in Paris, two women in trying to :step from their 'eerriages falling and breaking, their noses, there would seem to be more than eccentricity in such faeldon, but whoa the skirt ineasuFes one yard and a quarter around the an. kles it may readily be understood that just such accideuts can easily take place, And yet these absurdly eccentric. gowns are shown. with the utmost assurance by the leadiog dressmakers as being tIte latest fasbionsa The sinformation that they ran be modified, made less extreme, is also vouchsafed; but most grudgingly, and unfortunately many women select the extreme and walk out, or attempt to walk out, in the most ungrueeful and conspicuous 'of owns. Almost without exception the gowns arg made with short skirts, no matter how expensive or elaborate. Not only the simple styles for the morning and for practical Nvettr, but for afternoon and often for the evening do the skirts clear the ground the same length all around, and with little or no train there is nothing graceful or becoming. The skirts of the serge and linen gowns are ',either held in around the ankles' by a wide 'band. which finishes the skirt around • the bottom or have a band across the back holding in any fulness there may be. in the back or side breadths. Rows of buttons on either side of this band are the only timmIng, but if a more eleborate effect is desired tben the dart is finished with a broad band of satin, headed with one or two rows of braid. The cut of the skirt is a most difficult,problem, for how to so caleulate the possibility of •walking with the amount of material required de - mends the most careful consideration. Slenderness the Fashion. It is required to begin with, that every one shall look eaceedingly thin, no mat- ter how muilt; her weight. Naturally the slender weapon has the advantage. but even she Mud be more careful to ' have her gowns 'mit tie make her appear abnormally slight, and• flat. The waist line need not be so eXaggeratedly small diametet, -for the straight up and down effect Must be paramount, but if a tiny waist measurement can be secur- ed, why, so much, the better -from the dressmaker's .point of view. Satin and all the satin finished mater- ials are so alarmingly popular that al. *ready there are indications that the material will not remain in fashion in- definitely. For the moment a satin cos- tumes, preferably black, is the smartest a, woman can wear. the skirt is short, round and extremely scant, is not so scant as when made in serges or linen and is straight up and down in line; the jacket quite short, also very straight on the tailor made order, quite severe in design. A narrow pimng or eording outlines the jacket aud the seams of the skirt. A waist of chiffon, black over white, with gold or silver lace or -satin . ribbon veiled with the thiffon and with a narrow yoke and high oiler of trans- parent lice, h worth with this costume, Which will undoubtedly be copied this winter in cloth or cloth end satin com- bined. It is stated on good authority that the soft, lustrous taffeta silk will surely take the place of the satin be- fore long, but that is a statement which tequires verification before acceptance, and a woman who orders a heavy satin costume for the autumn or the lighter weight for wanner can be quite contented with the knowledge that she is gowned according to Dame Fashion's instruc- tions. Black Trimmings Popular. Voulard gowns are extremely smart at the present timea and 'while foulard is emphatically a summer material,. these gowns will be worn until late in the autumn. There are many ucw designs, quite make any that have been display- ed. There are some charniing patterns in black and white and gray Lula white gripe, with a cross line of black, that - are popular. These are made up with black liberty satin or black veil de isoie and with a waistcoat effect of light blue or cello,.

In faet, the sheer lam or net yokee with the high &Atari are so universally 'booming oo woman with Any proteusions to good taste ever choosee the other style for etreet wear. A most etteitetive foulard is the black satin with white dot -or,' rather, dots or ringe-two dott togetlaer but widely operated from the next two, That is made with a draped skirt, tar - row but not exaggeratedly omit, the lower part of the weist draped, the up- per part a broad band of late dram- MoUstelifie do sole, with a narrow round yoke ana. high collar of the sit (nest tiOS- ale- late -the upper pert of the sleeve% end the waist are all in one piece am] • the folds of the foulard cross back and front, over the veiled litre thitt goes *round the figure.

The lareteet an 1 the smallest bats are impartially sliowa, end while there are many positively ugly end eccentric. shapes, there ore othn hats of medium size, with graceful curv- ed brims, which by a little deft maniple lation can be rendered remarkably be- coming to any and every typo of faee.

Among the colors which lire mod ire (mealy --shown in the new felt lots are the deep bronze stades. These are on the dark side tet the lime Or tilleul order; then there are medium shades. of green- ish blue, the medium and (leek shades of leaf green, the darker copper brown shades, and the deeper shades of the grayish wistaria. Grays in medium dark and light shades are also shown in tones leading towards blue, and in those hav- ing the decided brownish or seal cast and in the tones approaching taupe. Three typegof hats are featored--all with the downward brim. The first he on the Charlotte Corday order, but the newest version of this style shows a much narrower brim than bas been the rule- The crowns are large aed slope gradually to the brim, which is rarely wider tha,n three inches. The secoed type is the larger mnehroom shape, with slightly concave brim, having an extra downward nick the side troverde the back.

Fashions, Many very large flat hats are seen, trimmed underneath the brim. N'ONV bandbags are ;ileac of black vel, vet and colored suede -leather, A. novelty in the binding of hats is to take A ribbon about three inches wide, gather at each edge, and draw up to fit oyer the brim edge aa wide on the lower as on the upper side.

P,ultips Of panama straw for warm weather wear are made with moderately thick soles. Lapis -lazuli, jade, malactite, ruby, cry- stal and coral are among the atones most frequently used for earrings. Little fans must match the evening gown in color and material, and the same pattern of embroidery must be used for their decorations, Pumps of blade satin are finished with simple flat bows. All Around the Home. Garments which are being washed in flour must be treated exactly ins if they were in the washtub. They must be lifted out with es nutda. flour in the folds as possible and Jailed in a clean towel for a day. A.good shaking and ironing will then restore them. Wash -leather gloves require yellow soap and. lukewarnt water -not hot. They should be dried on the hands or on wooden trees if possible, in the sun or close to a fire, Like flannels, the quicker they dry the better. For tender feet soak them well and rub thoroughly with olive oil mixed with enough ammonia to make it thick and creamy. Soften lemons that are hard frdm long standing by covering a few moments with boiling water. Clean steel with a paste made of emery powder and oil. Water bottles may be cleaned with salt and vinegar -a dessert spoonful of salt moistened' with vinegar. Shake un- til stains are removed. Boil yellowed linen in a lather made of one pound of white soap to one gal- lon of milk. Rinse in two waters, adding bluing to the last water. This is grand- mother's way. A teaspoonful of chloride of lime in a quart of water and strained twice Neill take out mildewed spots if the gar- monts are laid to dry in the sun. Summer Pests. TO KEEP FLIES AWAY. Keep a bunch of sweet peas on table or desk, tie the bunches of sweet clover blossoms on screen doors or window, and flies won's bother you. COCKROACHES. The best thing for roaches ie the come mon botax; just mix the borax with a little sugar and sprinkle it in closets or pantry or wherever they are and you will soon be rat of them. KEROSENE. - Half a cup of ketosene set on the elien table or any place will remove the troublesome flies. They flee to the out- side air to escape the odor. Fashion Notes from Paris Shops.

Flanies spread quickly to the British section, which woe soon destroyed. Other sec- tions were soon in flames, and the eatire exposition was wiped out. There has' been some loss of life and finoumfabicroofeapieirbsoeniseahialvieed ginated while there was the usual large 6unday crowd outside the buliange to look at the fireworks. It seems that the electric wires lead- ing into the temporary Post Office in the Belgian seetion became enort-eircuit. ed and within a very tew unnutei the Post Office was a mass of flames. This wus about 9 o'clock this evening. A few minutes after tire fire was dis- covered the blaze was 'running fiercely along. the facade, which is the xnost striking feat= of this eection. The facade is made of substanees much more unsobstantial than those usually used in suah construction, and de a result the building wits soon destroyed. The weather line Iteen warm and sunny of late and as a consequence the material in the building was exceedingly dry. This caosed the fire to burn with great fiereeneSs and, fanned by a stroeg wind, the flames rapidly leaped from ona builditeg to another. The Kermesse, which was a repro. sentation of an old fair in Brusees, wits quickly Thie was a very popular attraction, and the enclosige was some- what trowded. It was here that a panic occurred. Two persons were. killed a.nti thirty or more were hurt, while hundreds riceiv.ed minor injuries. Meanwhile the crowd, which had been watching the fireworks, and. which for some thne was ignorant of the real situation, learned of the catastrophe. Choy rushed to the scene of the disaster, blocking the way and hindering the fire- men at their work. It is doubtful, how- ever, considering. the inflammable ma.te- rial, whether trie firemen could have checked the prooTess of the fire. Soon the whole faoade of the Her:nesse 11".ag heap cif glowing ruint, and the entire Belgian section was involved. Then the wina drove a, torrent of flames hate the British secaon of the exhibition, and this in turn was rapidly eoneurned. It, as well as the Belgian section, appears to have been a total loee. Both were de- molished in less than an hour. The bridge joining the J3ritish And French sections next fell a prey to the fltunes, and in a short time this eol- lepsed with a roaring crash. This tem- porarily checked the flames, and it seemed for a while as if the rest °Oho buildinge, might be saved, The flames, however, leaped acrose and engulfed the Italken, Russian, Austrian, Japanese, Chinese and Norwegian build- Liaigsse.b. an'doirotymilirgiutsiet: Eo4telsaietisnel'il.,e,%iivueereeadoel-. strayed.
