b"ien given her by Lady Beauvedere and
proves that lady's generosity.
It iB blue, a deep turquoise blue, with
out aeuspicion of green in it.
Tiie Bkirt is chifTon tucked on the
lengths in fine tucks to a little below
the knee, where they end in a soft, old
fashioned little rullle, and from this
ruflla falls a wide rullle iioished on the
edge with another little rullle. The
bodice is of tucked blue chiffon. Over
it is worn a dear little bolero of Maltese
lace and scrim, with lace roses embroid
ered on the Bcrim. The sleeves of the
bolero end above the elbow and the
long, transparent, tucked sleeves con
tinue to the knuckles.
This bodi:e is collarlesp, too, and is
turned back slightly from the throat in
two small revers and finished with a toft
bow of chifTon. A huge turquoise,
quaintly Bet in brilliants, is worn at the
waist line in the back and keeps in place
the soft folds of the chifTon that are
passed about the waist. Another of
these oddly beautiful jewels is worn as a
buckle in front. Juliet Gainsborough
years with this gown a hat of transpar
ent Etraw the same color as the lace,
and around it is twisted one long blue
ostrich feather.
Princeese Vandramini goes to see
Lady Beauvedeie in a black and white
"dream." The skirt is white satin crepe
d Chine. It is laid in soft plaits, one
on top of the other, all around, except
directly in the front, where they end on
either side oc a plain strip some six
inches wide, which runs the whole
length of the Bkirt and bodice. The
plaits are apparently held in place over
this plain strip by bands of inch-wide
ribbon velvet, held together in the cen
ter by paste buckles.
The bodice was formed of a lace coat
of black Chantilly lace of a bold design.
It has long, full lines in the back and
a belero effect over the bust
The collar is outlined with two bands
of the velvet, accentuated with the paste
buckles. The hat of the Princesee Van
dramini is of narrow frills of black lace
over white, with a big bow of black lace
across the front. One American beauty
rose flung across the flaring brim gives
the Bentient note to the ensemble.
Lady Ull weather also g09s to see
Lady Beauvedera in a gown of crepe de
Chine, but hers is of a lustnrlesa finish
and the latest shade of "biscuit," which
means a dash more yellow than was
considered the smartest during last sea
son. Lady Ullweather'e gown iB elabor
ately striped with Irish crochet lace
Beveral shades paler than the crepe de
China. It has a transparent yoke of
this lace, and from it the gown descends
in severe lines, accantuated by the lace
to the belt.

maline, fatten the bodice. A hat and
muff of chifTon of the same color as the
gown, shirred to imitate poppies, with
black tulle centers, complete the ar
rangement. Mrs. Dashey goes to congratulate
Lady Beauvedere in a gown of silvery,
gray panne velvet, brocaded in big
bunches of white flowers. This gown
depends for success, and with no mis
placed confidence, upon the exquisitoly
Bott richness of the fabric, and is there
fore content to be fashioned upon the
simplest and the newest lines.
In the second act of "The Ambassa
dor,'' Lady Beauvedere is giving a ball.
She herself is radiant in sea-green Batin
heavily embrqidered in emeralds. Juliet
is in white, but what a white ! It is
thickly strewn with crystal beads and
brilliants; and yet it maintains an effect
of girlish innocence that Juliet's charac
ter suggests. The Princesse Vandra
mini goes to the ball in black velvet
severely plain, perfectly fitting, with an
unusually long train that she manages
admirably. The only relief to the se
verity of her costume is the drapery of
jeweled white lace across the bust and
back and the odd sleeves that this
jeweled lace forms a wea bit below the
shoulders.
Mrs. Dashey wears a regular coat-of-mail,
which glitters and shines a very
blaze of black and silver in a mystify
ing, bewildering way that makes an an
alysis of its construction an impossibil
ity. Lad Ull weather's ball gown is of
gun-metal gray mousselioe de soie
splashed all over with wide spreading
sun-bursts, so thickly set that they in
terlace their long rays and become an
indefinable mass. Lady Modish, in

THE BACKLOG'S SONG OF SU VI M ER
There's a sweet, enthralling magic
Lurking in the glowing fire,
Soft enchantment in it flickers,
And the song of hidden lyre
From the gnarled log's rugged surface
Sounds the faintest, fitful tone,
Oft a mirth is in its ringing,
Oft it has a saddened moan.
Gentle voices of the woodland
Echoes in its music weird,
Melodies from great tree monarchs
Standing in their strength un seared.
Only those who sit and listen
By the restful hearthfire's gleam
Hear the songs that lead the fancy
Spellbound in a happy dream.
All the carols of the summer
Murmur from the forest's sheen
Where the backlog learned its singing,
Swaying with the boughs of green.
There it heard the songs from heaven,
Heard the south wind whisper low
Midst the scenes that seem to linger
Sun flecked in the embers glow.
With the flitting flames and shadows
Visions come and disappear;
Fair, loved faces of the missed ones
In the twilight hover near.
Fondest hopes long since abandoned
Come again with fresh, new life
Far away in wintry tempest
Lies the world of care and strife.

"Later News" Per Contra.
A doctor in the British Medical Jour
nal now aeeerts that in the act of kiss
ing we only encounter beneficent organ
isms. He eaje "the advantages of
kissing outweigh its infinitesimal risk,
for it provides us with microbes useful
for digestion."
I thought the upshot would be this,
That some one would defend the kiss,
That when a lovely girl you see
Worth your thrilled heart's idolatry,
No owlish board, however wise,
Can stop the kissing exercise.
I hold that Nature know what's best
For us, to make our food digest.
Although I've no dyspepsia,
I'm bound to cure it when I may,
And ban each fogy who dismisses
The prophylactic power of kisses.
