They are steed to deoorabe every imaginable• part of dile evening frock, Sometime•e a band of them outlines thedeeollette line of the -neck, sometimes the waist, They are used singly and in clusters to hold the skirt and bo- dice and •sleeve drapery in niece. 7l ny ones, strung together, , outline ouffs and wide collars, And they still form one of the standby trim- mings for lingerie and negligees, Colored Linen Frocks. We surely live in a wonderful age, • Now we have non-crackable taffeta, waterproof kid gloves and even non-acusb • ha le linen. The new linens of the spring do not retain wrinkles as the linens of the past have done. So a linen frock is not such an extravagance as it has here- tofore been ; for. when it has not been often relaundered, it has look- ed too wrinkled and crushed for beauty. A colored linen of this sorb is a most substantial choice, and many colored linens -indeed color- ed wash materials of all'sorts--are shown in the frocks of the spring. Black Satin Girdles. No matter how much orhow little color is used in any one season, black always holds a place, some- times bigger, sometimes smaller, in the estimation of the dressmaker. This is a season of black hats. There are black satin'and taffeta frocks, too, in abundance. This year black satin girdles are used to give char- acter to many of the brightly color- ed frocks and they are a usual note in wash frocks, both white and col- ored. New Parasols. The newe.at parasols •have long handles and from the point of view of convenience, at any rate, this news is welcome. For a long -hand- led parasol is the easiest to handle:. There are new and fantastic shapes' in the parasols of the spring, among which the Japanese shape, which 's'tronglf suggests the paper parasol of Japan, is decidedly popular. But the more conservative shape's are quite as popular. Chiffon is used a great deal in the new parasols, and so are artificial flowers. They are festoc?iecl about the edge and loop- ed around the stick and even fasce•a- ed on c)ie inside of the parasol. Real lace parasols, too, are .made • for wear with elaborate frocks, In them the lace is mounted over taf- feta or satin of blue, red, green, violet or some other bright color. Golfine, which has turned out to be one of the successful fabrics of the season, is also mounted on parasol frames. One charming goafine Tiara - sol is developed in green, fir ieised with a hem of matching silk net about four inches wide. Plaid Taffeta Waistcoats.

Always, when a new fabric or de- sign comes into fashion, here is much experimenting with it on the part of the dressmakers and design- ers. This has natus•ally been the case in the plaids and stripes that have. `become popular this spring.

The hour arrived and passed, but no bridegroom carne. He was coin- ing by boat from an' island at some distance, but although bright eyes scanned the ocean no sign of the boat could be seen. After waiting for -some time the panty broke up with a geed deal of anxiety. The• bride, with a sod heart, put off her tildes dress, and her brothers set. sail from the bridegroom's home, to find out the reason of his non-ap- p•earance. When they got th.er'e they were told that the wedding party had left the island in good time, that the sea had been smooth as glass, and that no dagger could be apprehended, Weeks went by, and months and years, and never aword or sign of the lost bridegroom. The event was forgotten by all but a few inbienabely concerned, until a shoat :time ago, A party of tourists went to explore a rooky, barren islet, and as they walked along they came upon a number of bones in.a hollow in the. island. From certain signs there oould be no doubt that this was all that remained of that bridal party.

Peptonized milk and panereatized cereals for children and green vege- tables and fruit for people with overactive abomaohs have just been roundly denounced by a famous British officer named W. Bolton Fenwick in a leoture on indigestion at the Institute of Hygiene. He put in a good word for the lobster, and remarked that the overactive sto- mach, apt to produce an over- seorettion of acid, was aserious cause of indigestion, and was pos- sessed by many Londoners. Dr. Fenwick gave the following advice to busy and energetic men who suffer from this cause : "The substances which almost iwvariably disagree are green vegebables and fruits, though the sstarithy varieties, ouch as potato, cauliflower, sea - kale, and aaparagus are not so ob- jectionable. All forms of animal food, with the possible aingle excep- tion of salt -beef, veal and pork, are easily digested by the over active stomach, and the acme may be said of bread, biscuits, porridge and the various materials such as rice, tapi- oca, sago. Fresh cheese is easily dissolved by the acid gastric juice, and the anuoh maligned lobster forms an agreeable and wholesome variation in the dietary." The use of tonics and stimulants was strong- ly condemned for a.11 over -powerful stomachs such as are to be found among city men. • i LIVING ADVERTISEMENT Glow of Health Speaks for. Postum.

The rolls of paper are t'bemselves suspended on the cut- ting edge of razors which are held by his assistant. The corporal - major, with one clean sweeping cut, slices the "broomllandle" in two and leaves the paper uncut by the razors. Equally smart is another feat. Taking three or four bars of lead, each about ten Melbas long and three inches thick, he tosses .them in the air, and, as they fall, passes his sword through them with the facility of a grocer cutting cheese.
