Idea Should Be to Have Ono Frock
Which Can Be Made to Do Duty
for Many Occasions—An
Illustration.
The woman who. can only afford one f°u oome perverse fate
gown ot a dressy nature each season
naturally looks out for a model and
material which will permit the cos-
tume being worn for many different
sorts of occasions.
The great vogue of silk allows this
all-round use for a fine frock, especial-
ly if the gown is made of satin foulard,
for this shimmering and handsome
texture may be made to look as plain
or as elegant as one wishes. Where
the dress is to do some duty for even-
ing, it Is well to have a round decol-
letage, which would be filled to on day
occasions with a high, long-sleeved
gulmpe. Then, since no dress can be
fine without a tunic of some sort. If
one happens upon a short pattern of
silk, it Is the easiest thing In the
world to eke it out with an overdress
of marquisette, veiling or chiffon. The
marquisette Is ffiwt cousin to chiffon,
and is of so diaphanous a texture, in-
deed, that it is sometimes used for au-
tomobile veils.
With a walking skirt—for the mors
dressy of the tunic dresses are slight-
ly trained—the overdress may be the
dinkiest ligtle affair, no more than an
apron, in fact, and with the lower edge
cut with a fish-tail curve. A distinct
madness of the moment is a bunchy
overskirt effect, which is made by
gathering the outside skirt very full
over the foundation one, and then tying
it about below the knees "with a ribbon
sash. This is a very good design for
a foulard dress, and there is always
the comfort that the next year there
will be enough material in the gown
to make it over in a new style.
Figured and plain pongees and
shantung silk respond excellently to
the limp lines and tailored effects of
the moment, and a well made dress in
any one of these materials Is both a
comfort and a valuable poesession, for
1 " .’r, - — - L.,
and old dresses in them may always
be dyed and cut down for children.
Natural colored shantung—a brown-
ish yellow—Is very stylish and waahsa'
like a rag. The one-piece dress., in1
this effective material look very "pretty
with the white lace and net yokes
which still enUvoq everything. '
The illustration shows 1
model which would ' adapt
charmingly to all bordered materials,
•uch as muslin, pongee, marquisette,
chiffon, etc./but the,dress could also'

boastful nor would they violate
the proprieties by laying any un-
seemly claims to superiority in

munities in our great state, and
yet it yields to none in this re-
spect, and whatever may be the
short comings of it citizens, they
at least know some things not yet
learned by the distinguished
gentlemen offering said resolu
tion, namely to attend.' to their
own affairs.
If the purpose was to manifest
theit antagonism to the Texas
Rangers in order to indulge in a
little piece of cheap politics, that
is an affair exclusively their own;

against an unwarranted reflec

The high gulmpe is of all-over lace

A more practical gown in this do*
sign—for this combination strikes the
last note of elegance—could be ot any
of the little silk, now use<f and which
may bo bought for from 41 cents a
yard up, and still seem smart and fine;
for it all depend, on how you treat
these cheap silks whether the drees Is
exquisite or tawdry. My own taste
would be to trim them very plainly
with tuckins or ribbon bands, and
have the yoke of a modest rsther than
a flamboyant nature. There are some
fancy net., which respond most
charmingly to well made yokes and
gulmpes, and to my mind those are
far prettier for summer than yokes of
richer lace.
Navasota find Grime's county.
As proof of this we have but to
call attention to the infamous
resolution offered hi the House
of Representatives at Austin on
Tuest^iy, July 19th, all of which
was probably actuated through
reading the garbled report in
the Chronicle. These facts are
patent to the readers of the other
State dailies which papers used
thej matter sent to them by their
correspondents here, accepting
the facts as sent in and not pre-
suming to manufacture a lot of
stuff absolutely incorrect, un-
warranted and misleading both
> as to the facts and the part played
by the officers connected there-
with. The people of Navasota
, are unanimous in upholding the
act of Officer Avriett on Sunday
night and again on Monday af-
ternoon, as is also the case with
Officer Cuthrell. Both gentle-
men acted solely in the capacity
of officers and were within the
scope of their authority and
sworn duty in each instance.
The Chronicle, for some rea-
son best known to its manage-
ment, has studiously sought
evefy opportunity to put Grimes
County, and Navasota particular-
of the meeting that a committee' graph in the above heading ly, in an unfair light before its
readers. We have nought to do
