COMING EVENTS.
RATHER difficult to picture 1b this
pretty .gown, for afternoon wear,
which 1b cut on distinctly original
lines. UJb for the young and slender
wearer, and flows about her figure In
loose-hanging and ever-changing folds.
It Is In a bright blue, something
deeper than turquoise, and Is made In
two pieces. There- Is a short under
skirt, only moderately wide, which la1
cut to flare at the bottom and Is ankle
length. A full, flaring tunic Ib at
tached to a short Jacket; together
they achlovo a coat effect In which
the waist line is entirely neglected.
The bodlco fastenB at ono side with
round covered buttons made of the
taffeta.
Thorp la a moderatoly high rolling
collar of the silk, with a collar of
dainty hemstitched batiste overlaid at
the back. The silk cuffs are almost
covered with hemstitched cuffs of
batiste.
Although the skirt and overgarment
are two distinctly separate pieces
they are both attached to the same
plain underbodlce bo that the dress 1b
put on nil together. The neck is fin
ished with a covered silk cord termi
nating In small Bilk-covered balls,
Ono of the larger hats with wide,
flat, transparent brims and flower
trimmed, would bo a bettor choice in
millinery to be worn with thiB after
noon gown, than tho small tailored
turban shown In the picture. This Is
a season of beautiful colors in flower
and fruit-trimmed hats to correspond
with tho daintiness and sprlghtllness
of taffeta gowns, or those of colored
Collars and Combs and
HERE is a collar, mado of sheer
batiste and a very narrow fancy
edging, that will Interest every wom
an who appreciates the value of such
dainty and easily mado accessories.
Aside from their becomlngness they
protect the bodice at the neck, and
they cost next to nothing. This ono
is merely a graduated flounco of the
batiste, to which three towb of braid
huvo been stitched, mounted to a
straight band. This band Is basted
into the nock of tho bodice.
At the front the collar is sowed to
tho band without fullness, but it Is
gathered at the sides and back and
Stayed with Bmall wires which are
almost entirely concealed by the gath
ering of the batiste.
Collars of tho sheerest laces are
mado in tho same way. They aro
somewhat narrower and aro gathered
along their entire length into a nar
row band. Tho small stay-wires hold
them in the right pose about tho neck.

Japanese Parasols.
From present Indications tho flat
Japancso types of parasols will play
an unusually strong part in this sea
son's parasol demand. Many novel
ties of this character are being of
fered. Some of the richest have dark
borders, with here and thoro a deli
cate bit of hand-embrpldery in gold.
Again, odd-looking velvet birds are
appllqued over the inside surface of
the parasol. This idea is effective
when developed in orango and blue
tones, says Dry Goods Economist
Handles are extremely long and In
most Instances harmonize In color and
design with tho ferrule end.
Fanciful Names.
Some of the new silk novelties re
cemble charmeuse and have fanciful
names. These wero all made in Amer
ica. There is a very attractlvo sand
colored' shade that is named "Palm
Beach sand;" others are "Delaware
peach," ."Arizona silver," a lovely
shade of gray; "Oregon green," an
olivo shade; "Rocky mountain bluo,"
"Newport tan," "Gettysburg gray,"
and "Piping rock," a very delicate
gray.
Other Accessories
tern, is shown in tho picture. These
aro very popular, thrust in tho coiffure
at any position or angle that becomes
tho wearer.
A pretty tie of narrow ribbon set
with Jot ornaments Is another, little
accessory that gives finish to the plain
est of toilets. Heavy grosgrain or vel
vet ribbons aro used for these ties,
and they are fastened with snap fas
teners under an ornament, in lieu of
a bow.

Purely Accidental.
Kearney. A coroner'B Jury in the
investigation of the causo of tho death
of Conductor Nols Akeyson and Road,
master Johnson failed to hold any ono
man or corporation responsible for
what It termed an "unavoidable acci
dent." It found that tho delivery
cranb camd in contact with the car'
in some unaccountable way, plunged
through tho car window and struck
the two railroad men with such force
as to cause their deaths. Akeyson
and Johnson were killed at Gothen
burg February 12. At tho time of tho
accident some tests of a now mall de
livery and recoiving crane were being
made. On tho fourth and final trial
the-full speed possible to attain with
the engine was reached and tho crane
was to dollver and receive sixty moro
pounds of mail matter than had been
handled undor previous tests. It Is
believed, from tho testimony offered,
that tho swaying train with the com
bined additional strain on tho CTane,
caused tho latter to give slightly and
tho accident resulted.
