THOSE TAFFETA SILK SKIRTS Kheta IouIse Cliilde Discusses a Subject of Especial Interest to the Fair Sex--The Practice of Other Days Has Passed Away.

Copyright, ISM, by American Press Associa-- tion. ST3- USED to be that a woman did not consider herself fully clothed unless she had on under her gown enough starched I muslin and eni- W-m broidered flannel 'rC2i to stock a small )l dry goods shop. shop. Even in mid summer the orthodox wear was a long, full chemise, corset and corset cover, drawers and at least two stiff white skirts, a long and a short one. In winter add flannels, and your young and tender female is ready to put on her dress; and in order not to look like an Eskimo she had to lace.

Small wonder that when tennis first became popular in America, the men all declared that women could never be good players because their clothes were in the way. Still smaller wonder that the health crank3 raged, and the dress reformers imagined vain things in chemiloons, divided skirts and other nameless atrocities. But the dress reformers who was it said, "Nothing goes so wildly astray as sagacity on the wrong scent!" Verily, the inventors of the "combination" have their reward; nobody wears their things, to be sure, but the old order has vanished and a more rational form of dress, or at least of underdres3, has been estab-lishe4- V. The most advanced and undaunted of her sex wears, in warm weather, the thinnest of silk or lisle vests which fit her like a glove, silk tights, a short taffeta silk petticoat, and over everything her corset. Her gown fits without a wrinkle, her limbs are so free that she can walk, really walk aiM not waddle, and there is no heavy, dragging weight about her hips to send her to bed exhausted after a morning's shopping.

THOSE TAFFETA SILK SORTS. But not every woman is educated up to tights. There i3 something about dainty muslin and lace that is inexpressibly dear to the feminine heart; bef rilled and iieribboned smocks and knickerbockers are not to be discarded without a struggle, and it is safe to say that it will be a long time before they are entirely laid aside. If you are buying underclothes and it is cheaper to buy than to make them, if you live near the city you have the infinitest variety to choose "You may exercise your individual taste this year as never before, in the number and description of your undergarments. It is safe to say that you wear the jersey fitting vest, silk or lisle, which is much cooler, much cheaper and quite as pretty, since both are made after the same patterns.

The ancient prejudice against colored jerseys has entirely vanished, and while black, and white are still the leading favorites, all the lighter variations of the rainbow are shown. They are very low in the neck, very short in. the sleeves and very much open worked above the corset, Ribbon i3 profusely used on all undergarments, and the vest is drawn around the shoulders with a narrow ripple of color that must match any similar adornment of one's lingerie as well a3 one's corset lacing3 and garters.

A Scheme for Getting the Beer Foam on the Bot torn. Philadelphia Record: The "growler" rushers all over Philadelphia, and notably in the vicinity of Lombard South streets, by an ingenious, scheme have succeeded in out-witting the wily saloonkeepers for a couple1 of weeks past.

Aboutwo weeks ttgo the saloohieepfers nbticecl a wonderful and new characteristic concerning the beer they had on draught. One night about that time a stalwart negro, black as a coal, came Jnto a saiodn with a pitcher nearly big enough to hold a keg of beer, and called for "10 cents' wnff." The barkeeper eyed the pitcher for a min- then proceeded to draw the beer. To his surprise the beer Vould not foam in the lively manner 'which heretofore had been its principal characteristic. No amount of shaking and sloshing around would make the amber colored beverage assume a frothy appearance, and before the barkeeper could realize i the pitcher Was brimming full The egrp remarked in an off-hand manner: J'Dac beer done looks dead and flat, but Ilaik dat kine mahself." With that the barkeeper banded him the pitcher and the grinning darkey walked out of the room. He was met just around the corner by a half-dozen other dusky citizens, all carrying pitchers, and at once proceeded to divide up.

I It was noticed that the beer immediately came to life when it was poured out of the big pitcher and the colored rascals laughed immoderately as the" creamy foam ran down the sides of the vessels they were carrying. Directly after this another customer walked into the same saloon and the beer was found to draw all right. Here was a mystery, indeed, and it took two long week3 to solve it. The saloonkeepers in the vicinity always noticed that the beer would not foam when put into pitchers carried by certain colored individuals. As a result these same persons got about 50 cents worth of beer, and only paid 10 cents for it.

An investigation was started, as the saloonkeepers knew that some trick was being played upon them. No solution was arrived at, cowever, until yesterday, when a colored man under the influence of liquor told how the scheme" had been worked. It seemed that the plan consisted in simply greasing the inside of the "growler" with butter or a piece of fat meat. When this is done no amount of gas or agitation will put the proper head on beer. The discoverer of it reaped a rich harvest by selling the secret of it to other "growler workers," and as a result the saloonkeepers have been successfully victimized.

The Song of the Farm. The poppies that peep from the wheat at morn. With pearls of the night clew glitterlnij still, The shadows that race o'er tho waring corn And the shy little runnel down under the hilL The hoary old orchard whose trees are bent. And the clover fields where the honey bees swarm, Cry, Come to the cradle of calm content; Come see Mother Nature at home on a farm! 'Here are billows of meadow whose waves are so sweet-- They perfume the air; here are mountains of hay; Here are little winds lost upon oceans of wheat, And butterflies shipwrecked in hollyhock Here is peace In the air and a smile in the sky, And never a fear of deception or harm, i From the cares and the woes of a city life fly To old Mother Nature, who lives on a farm And so the old song from the cherry tree tops And arbors where Bacchus might gather a treat, From old fashioned sparrows that livt in a copse And not in the dirt of an ill smeUihg street. From the bees and the kine and the sentinel cry Of the cock, whose shriiL-elarioa bodes no Kings out to the city folk ever and aye: 'Come back to Dame Nature; she lives on a farm." New York World.

Special Tho subject that engrossed the attention of our citizens the past week was the relocation of he county 1 Both sides fought bitterly for and against the calling of an election, and although a call for a special election has been granted by the county commissioners it is doubtful if tho same will in any way effect any of tho rc-monstrators' points in the courts, Attie Hart returned the past week from a ten days' jaunt in Colorado.

This is just the place to spend August if one has a regard for comfort. There' have been excursions and picnics almost every day, and tourists are coming in daily, drawn hither by the fine scenery and the of Custer Lake park. On Saturday D. Carri- gan and family gave a picnic at the park in honor of their relatives, Mr. and Mrs.

James Chase, son and daughter, of Platts-mouth. On Monday a party of Pierre peo ple came in from Hot Springs consisting of H. E. Cutting and wife. Miss Fannfe Dawson, Mr.

and Mrs. D. Marriott and son and Mrs. W. H.

Heckles, They came across the reservation from Pierre and are making a tour of the cities of the Black Hills. Thev rfound Custer the most picturesque point on their route and were greatly surprised by the beauties or the park. On Tuesday Edgar and Arthur Morrill and Ueo. liartiett, or returned to tneir homes alter a couple of months' stay in this city One of the young gentlemen was pronounced almost beyond recovery from consumption in the early spring, but is now able to take a long tramp or ride every day. They expect to return next summer.

On Wednesday one of the most enthusiastic parties of the season picnicked at the park, consisting of Mrs. D. B. Cropsev, Miss Cora Cropsey, Mrs. G.

W. Hansen and Mrs. G. E. Jenkins, of Fairbury, Neb.

Miss Helen Hitchcock and Mr. Crary and Jup Shankland, of this city, and several Sioux City people. The ride to the park was one continual surprise and pleasure, each feature of the landscape leading up to something finer, and the whole a gradual preparation for the grandeur of the park itself. Tho party stopped en route to Kodac Castle Crags and other points of interest. On first entering the park one of the ladies ex claimed: "This is erander than the earden of the Several of the party climbed down tnrongn the canon to its mouth and took views of several of the most striking points.

i On Thursday a party went out in search of specimens to a point about eight miles southeast of Custer, where they gathered most beautiful pieces of rose quartz, one of the rarest as well asthe most beautiful minerals. This is found in paler tints in a few other localities in this country, but much of it fades on exposure to the light. The rose quartz found here retains its color per fectly. They also climbed a mountain rich in copper ore and carried away beautiful green specimens in abundance. Thedrive both going and coming was a series of su rwrb landscaDes.

For several miles th Harney range was in, view. Then came a succession of fine peaks, with here and there a fertile ranch, and always immense rocks and forests and mountains for a back ground. A clump of pine trees growing out of a rocky ledge marked the spot where four citizens of Custer were killed by In dians in 1875. They had ventured out for a load of hay and were shot by savages in amtmsn. a.

little lurther on tne house of a friend is reached, situated in the midst of fertile fields that yield very large crops. The valleys are all enriched by the continued washings of the mountains. All at once the twin rocks rise like "needles some sixty xeet above the tree tons on a tall mountain peak. "Well Pole canon" and many other picturesque places wisa striiang nomenclature are passed be fore tho party picnicked beside a spring brook and within climbinsr distance of the rare quartz; Their return by another route was equally attractive and constantly cnangmg. nea squirrels, cottontail rabbits, and birds of several varieties flit about among the trees.

A couple of immense rocks stand guard at tho mouth or a canon. Calamity park stretches out for a mile or two quite like a miniature treeless prairie. Then rocks, rocks, large and small, and mountain peaks in the distance, till the Har ney range and Buckhorn are again in view. A characteristic of the forests in this vicinity is that they are free of underbrush, and this makes of every grove of trees a pleasure park. On Thursday evening Mr.

and Mrs. Charles Gardner gave a small tea party, wtica laciuaea several bioux City people. The tea was daintily served with all the ac cessories of snowy linen and fine china. An summer than anybody else. Even if.

you won't wear tights, you may like to look at them. They come in silk, lisle and cotton balbriggan for summer, and in woolen for cold weather. There are threo lengths, the most popular reaching to the knee ony; the second is ankle length, and the third, which is little liked except for stage wear, incloses tho form from the waist to the toe. Of. course, an ordinary individual does not wear her tights to lit like a ballet dancer's.

Mademoiselle, after drawing on her fleshings, confines her waist in a leather strap, as tight as she can possibly bear it. The tights are drawn up under the strap until not a wrinkle appears anywhere, and then the waist band is turned over and over to prevent any slipping. It is said to b3 an agonizing performance. But your tights fit you like your stockings and are quite as comfortable and every bit as modest. Black is the favorite color, and the prices range from 6.90 to $15, although you can buy a knee length balbriggan for But, oh! those taileta silk skirts.

"Put money in thy purse," else avoid their tempting locality. Seven dollars is the very lowest price for which you pan buy the plainest The changeable silk is first in popular favor. The front is absolutely tight fitting, and the bottom is as profusely trimmed as you can afford With pink rufiles or lace. The heaviest of them weighs a little over an ounce, and the frou-frou sound they make as you walk is delicious. No one nowadays wears more than one skirt, be that one silk or muslin, and many women have discarded petticoats altogether, except with very thin dresses.

And why not? Of what earthly use, save for warmth, is all that extra drapery? If you are ffoing to wear muslin and lace, you must be sure to have everything to match smock (latest for chemise), corset cover, drawers, skirt and nightgown. The modern chemise is a very fetching little affair; it is made of the very finest India lawn, embroidered, laced and ribboned, and is not so big and shapeless as it once was. The latest idea i3 to wear it over the corset, it being considered much more graceful and dainty than the ordinary, corset cover. As a rule either is a superfluous sort of thing, but some women wear their dresse3 bo tight that without a covering of. some kind the line of the corset and the shape of the shoulder blades are rather too prominent a feature of her ensemble.

7 Surah underclpthea have almost gone out except for bridal sets, which come at seventy-five dollars for four pieces, embroidered and laced out of all modesty. Colored embroideries are coming in again, I notice, and even sprigged muslin nightgowns are snown. But I don't like them. Now that curling irons have banished curl papers a girl is never more absolutely- fascinating than when she puts on her long trailed, low necked nightgown, lets down her hair in a long braid, takes her bedroom candle (gas is vulgar) and admires herself before tho glass for tenminutes before going to her maiden dreams. If you could only see her then but you can't.

Recta Louise Cihlde. Sngffestlona for a New Industry. One recurring feature of work in a large family, especially in one where there are children, is the mending and the making over of clothing. Nearly every mother knows what a drain on the nervous system is the darning of little stockings, the closing of haphazard covering of irrepressible knees-labors which usually come after the heavier work of the day is over. The happy experience of a clergyman's wife suggests a relief to mothers and a new industry for indigent gentlewomen who can ply the needle.

"We had moved; to a new parish," say3 the clergyman's wife. "I was trying to do without help by putting out my washing, but the extra work of fitting carpets and curtains to new places, arranging closets and drawers, with all the other perplexing work that moving necessitates, had made it impossible for me to do the family mending in the regular grder. My workbasket was overflowing with socks and stockings, little coats had torn linings, and braid and buttons were wanting on the jackets of my half grown boys, for it had been full three weeks that my needle had rested, except in some pressing emergency. "To my great relief a dear old lady called one morning and in the kindest way possible informed me that Ehe had brought her thimble, and if I consented she would stay all day and mend the coats and trousers that she suspected were hanging in the closet waiting a leisure moment. "The tears sprang to my eyes at thi3 unexpected kindness.

1 was almost ashamed, though, to let the dear woman see what I had on hand, but hercheer-fulness increased with every garment I added to the pile before her. At night I returned to the closets long rows of neatly repaired garments, and went to bed with a happy and grateful heart While we remained in that parish this friend in need made it a duty to come to the parsonage once a month on a similar errand. I. have often thought what a convenience it would be if a woman could be found in every community who would go into families by the day to do this sort of work." There are many families where the income vdli-hot allow of a steady seam-Etres3, who yet coald by a stitch in time put in in this way save more than enough to employ a day mender, while the saving to the nerves of the overtaxed mother could scarcely be estimated. The advantages to the indigent" gentla-woman who would take up this employment are apparent The rst would be an easy method of adding to her purse with no outlay in preparation.

Following this would be a share in the home life cf families and a frequent gain cf congenial companionship.
