ostumes which, for want of a bet-
ter name, are styled by the dressmakers
as "peasant" styles.
That word peasant, as the Initiated well
know, must be taken with a* grain of salt.
Nobody dreams of really look" n like a
peasant, and if the courtiers, eatly in the
. peing, commended the stoop-shouldered,
flat-chested, thick-waisted fern ' ine fig-
ure In Millet's "Angelus" as the e.\empli-
fication of the desirable summer llhouet-
te, nobody appeared to be much car-« i
l bjd away with the idea, and with the I
exception of a few fatuous followers of
fashion, most women have been content
with greatly modified adaptations of
tin peasant type. The new figure has
been arrived at too laboriously and pain-
fully to he given up at a word now and
di:-Kulsed in swathing folds o/' material
ai tiie waist line, in thickly garnered pet-
ticoats and bodices bloused informally at
ba«-k and front. So only the beautiful
simplictv of the peasant dies; and a few
modes of cut and trimming that are real-
ly artistic, and graceful have been incor-
porated into most of the summer cos-
tumes.
For example, the seamless shoulder,
which gives to the curve of throat,
shoulder and arm the utmo-t benefit,
and which is distinctively a peasant type,
has held its own and become a dominant
feature of summer dress, while the
thick-waisted wide belted bodices have
been pleasantly modified into more con-
\entional and satisfactory lines Few
< . >8 could stand the straight, limp,
Peasant skirt, gathered around the waist
line, but ill skirts have b>" * kept nar-
row and straight and all skirts are four
or more inches from the ground in the
simple peasant fashion of those who must
do their traveling on foot.
ALL IN THE LINE.
This new cult on simplicity in dress is
confined, howevf*, to "la ligne." The
line—tlie silhouette—is as carefully stud-
ied by the frockbuilder handling material
and scissors, as by the sculptor with his
marble and chisels. Hundreds of dollars
worth of trimmings are loaded on the
new frocks and wraps, but ever is the
line kept in mind as the supreme consid-
eration and so cunningly are the trim-
mings incorporated with ihe gown ma-
terial that they do not distract the eye
in individual detail nor in any manner
interfere with the flow and grace of the
whole gown.
Hand embroideries of all sorts lend
themselves with particular success to the
new trimming methods and many dress-
makers. when expense is on item that
must be considered by the customer, give
back the shaped sections of material to
be hand-embroidered at home, furnishing
themselves the exact shades of embroi-
der;, floss to produce the desired color
harmony. By this means beautiful frocks
are often obtainable at no more than
the ordinary coat of making, where the
dressmaker's price for so much hand
embroidery would be almost prohibitive
Veilings of chiffon are another means
of expressing simple lines with an ex-
pense befitting the reputation of a great
dressmaker. These veilings of chiffon in
blending tones may cost a pretty penny,
especially if there be a fall of Chantilly
lace between. Most lovely lines of sim-
plicity at achieved by some of these in-
tricately veiled effects, and always and
unfailingly the airy breadths of chiffon
are substantially weighted at the foot to
produce the correct straight end simple
fall.
The system of weighting these "simple"
frocks is nn intricate one and would pet-
rify the little provincial dressmaker, who
would hold up protesting hands of holy
horror at the s uggest ion of ten pounds
of lead in a chiffon frock. Rut this is
not at all unusual in Paris now. The
lead weights, tiny in size, are run in long
tapes and these are stitched along the
inner edges of tunlo and skirt hems-
even in the hems of the loose peasant
sleeves so that the material may define
| clearly the curves of the shoulder and
upper arm. One string of skirt leads
weighs four pounds, and with two of
these lead strings and various single
weights scattered about the costume, it
Is very easy to arrive at the ten-pound
estimate.
FOULARD TS A WINNER.
Foulard silk dresses especially express
the difference between the old ornate
effects and the new simplicity. This sea-
son's foulards are delightfully girlish in
type, with their informal peasant bod-
ices with pleated neck and elbow frills
and their short skirts built with little
apron oversklrts. double pleated flounces
or narrow pleatlngs set under bias bands,
flow much more becoming and graceful
are the loose seamless bodices, rounded
out at the neck and finished with a
Dutch frill or a shallow yoke and stock
of lace, than the elaborate waists of a
few seasons ago; tightly fitted to the
figure and trimmed with deep lace yokes
that made the costume too dressy for
practical wear!
These loose peasant bodices, however,
are loose only in the outer material. Be-
neath there is invariably a carefully
fitted and featherboned lining, and even
washable frocks of lawn and lace are
worn over featherboned slips of thin silk
or lawn. It is in the well studied ar-
rangement of these loose outer materials
over exquisitely fitted and featherboned
foundations that success In the dress-
making art are achieved.
The banded-in skirts are also an ex-
pression of the simple peasant cult. The
peasant skirt, pure and simple, is of
course scant—not to say skimpy—in its

proportions, many breadths of materials
being for full pocketbooks. This scant ef-
fect is sometimes produced, rather ec-
centrically it seems, by gathering in the
skirt and confining it about the knees or
below under a broad hem of contrasting
fabric In the gown color. The banded-in
skirts have seen a greater vogue jn Paris,
however, than they are likely to enjoy in
this country, though a number of these
trying skirts have been seen upon the
streets here and in the more fashionable
restaurants, straight, limp skirts how-
ever, are the rule, and even when pleat-
lngs are used, or lace flounces, in the
case of evening frocks, the whole outline
of the skirt is kept very flat and there
is scarcely any flare toward the foot.

follow the simple outlines prescribed by
fashion now and trimmings are rather of
the gown than on it, being set in the ba-
tiste or soft mull ground fabric so that
they seem a part of it. Some of the
pretty little marquise white dresses are
especially charming in these simple ef-
fects, having girlish, graceful lines, fine
materials and trimmings well combined.
OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
The deep hems In a contrasting ma-
terial or color that trim the lower edges
of the skirts now are really becoming too
few, that is. the tall and slender types.
The line can, however, be modified In
various ways so it will be becoming, and
cne of the prettiest I have seen Is the
cutaway band in center front. This Is
in "U" until It measures only half its
width at the front. The band Is piped
and is arranged to overlay the dress.
Rows of buttons trim the "T*" on the
sides, which, of course, furthers this im-
pression.
An extreme novelty in mourning attire
is a blouse fashioned from filet net. com-
bined with English crepe
The net is tucked in groups divided by
milliners' folds of crepe an inch wide,
arranged lengthwise on the waist part.
These go around the arms on the sleeves.
A Dutch turnover collar of white crepe
Is the finish of the neck. This ends
with a how of crepe of many loops about
one inch wide.
Cuffs shaped of the white crepe turn
back over tne three-quarter sleeves. To
soften the line of the plain collar a strip
of crushed white tulle Is placed around
the neck, the ends folding over each
other in center front before the blouse
is put on.

FREE BEER BRINGS ON ROW
Daughter Hits Mother on the Ilead
With a Brick.
The lack of maternal appreciation and
filial love was evinced Sunday afternoon
in^he ino block on Ruiz Street, when two
negro women fought over the possession
of a can of beer, end the daughter struck
her mother over the head with a brick.
The fact that the time was Sunday and
the bone of contention was a can of beer
was sufficient for the police, not to speak
of the bleeding head of the mother and
the ruffled feelings of the daughter.
At the police station they told a mar-
velaus tale of a "free keg" of beer in
the neighborhood and the ease with which
the "growler was rushed" and the Inci-
dents of the fistic encounter prior to the
throwing of the brick. Of course, the
women told different stories, but the
mother had a lacerated scalp to back up
her description of the fight.
Both women were placed in the city
jail and were refused ball. Their case
will be aired in the Corporation Court
this morning before .Tuoge Buckley. A
charge of engaging In an affray was
placed against each of the negro women
on the sergeant's books.

MANY MOURN FOR MIKE
Educated Goose, Pride of Morgan
Street. Disappears.
The self-constituted guardians and
many friends of Mike, the tame goose
and pet of lower Morgan Street, are dis-
consolate. Two weeks ago Mike mys-
teriously disappeared, and the ways that
so long knew his merry "honk-honk" are
engulfed in gloom. A long search for
the petted biped proved a wild-goose
chase, and all efforts to restore the
goose to his old haunts have so far been
fruitless, for 'tis rumored Mike has been
kidnaped and is being held for ransom.
Mike, since the sprouting of his first
pin feathers, nightly tucked his head un-
der his wing and slept in a sheltered spot
on the floor of the Davis commission
hause, 313 Morgan Street. At an early
age he adopted Mrs Davis, manager of
the commission house, as his protector.
His peculiar ability to make friends and
to fight won him the esteem of the
street. When Mrs. Davis recently sold
her interests and moved from the neigh-
borhood Mike refused to go and was
adopted by the new owners.
Mike was not known to have money,
so his disappearance has pointed the
finger ot suspicion at Billy, a trained
pigeon, Mike's next door neighbor. Hos-
tilities were declared at their first meet-
ing Taken unawares, tne goose was
chased half a block by the pugnacious
pouter. Mike never forgot the public
humiliation of that rout. When next they
met the goose was not such an amateur.
He swam in and, nimbly ducking the
lead of the pigeon, ended the bout in the
first round with a right swing of his
wing.
Thereafter Mike took his daily after-
noon exerce in chasing his implacable
foe to the doorstep of Its home. How-
ever. Billy never made up with Mike,
and If the goose has met with foul play
the pouter may be called upon to answer
for it. Indeed, he appears to be the most
downcast of those that miss him; though
of course this may be reigned.
Thoee who hold Mike an unwilling
captive inserted an "ad" in the lost
columns soon after his disappearance,
stating that a goose answering to that
name (as if there could be two geese of
that name), had been found. A corre-
spondence between Mike's friends and his
present holders resulted It was declared
Alike would not be given liberty until the
payment of a reward of $5 for his cap-
ture.
After lengthy discussion Mike's friends,
fearing that If he were not soon given
liberty, he might choose death, decided
to pay the ^arisom In accordance they
inserted in yesterday's lost columns a
notice to the effect that a reward would
be paid on the return of the goose.
An ovation and spread will be given
the ancient goose by his admirers on his
next public appearance. They are even
now saving their slightly damaged
vegetables and eggs of a yesterday,
awaiting the happy moment when the
old familiar "honk-honk" will again
resound throughout the street, and signal
the resumption of hostilities with Billy,
the pigeon.—St. Louis Republic.
TRADE REPORTS DROPPED
Wave of Economy Sweeps Away a Val-

A wave of economy has poured In upon
the Capitol at Washington and hae swept
away the dally consular^lnd trade re-
ports, which have for some weekn pant
been bound together and issued In form
of a weekly periodical.
As the cost of collecting, editing and
printing these reports must be the samo
whether they be Issued every day or once
a week, and as in the latter case the
cost of binding must be added, it in not
easy to see that the saving by the chance
is coins to make much of an Impression
on the balance sheets/of the lrnlted States
Treasury. Its effect, however, will be
severely felt by the mercantile commun-
ity of this country, which has grown to
rely upon a daily Intimation of the tra/le
opportunities and happenings In foreign
parts, and to whom a delay of a week
will make, ot times, a serious considera-
tion.
The suspension of those daily reports,
we learn, has been the Immediate result
of an insufficient appropriation for print
ing, and in the shuffle for allotments the
Bureau of Manufactures has suffered 'o
the extent o! helng forced for a time to
e.dopt the economical measure referred
to. We earnestly trust that it will only
be for a time, and the shorter thai time
the better for trade Interests If it was
really necessary to prune In this way, it
is to be deplored that the hook should
lop off so valuable a branch of the trane
service, for, while the information eventu-
ally reaches the parties for whom it :»
intended, it often comes too late Jio be of
value. News is a perishable commodity,
and the curtailment from dally to weekly
distribution la closely 'n lino with that'
economical sriirtt which would ship a
train load of ripe fruit in midsummer
from California to the Atlantic coast In-
ordinary freight to save the cost of ice.
The usefulness of these daily "consular
reports is made very plain in the annual
report of tho chief of the Bureau of
Manufactures, who, )n recounting the !
value of the service In specific Instances I
has not exaggerated In the least the pub-
lic sentiment which prevails In respect to
It. Speaking for tho industries repre-
sented by the Reporter, who can say that
ihe business Interests, particularly those
v. ho seek a foreign outlet for their goods,
have always appreciated the help afford-
ed by theso dally reports, and wo not
only regret that, for apparently a paltry
consideration, they should bo discon-
tinued. but we trust that sufficient in-
fluence will be brought to bear upon Uio
proper authorities to remove the suspsn
slon.—-Oil, Pslnt snd Drug Reporter.

A Specimen.
A certain worthy minister was a keen
and accomplished naturalist. His spe-
cialty was a remarkable knowledge of
different classes of fungi, His enthusi-
asm, however, was but Indifferently ap-
preciated by certain members of his par-
ish, and one day, when calling upon one
of them—a sour old spinster—he was con-
siderably embarrassed when she remind-
ed him of the exact length of time that
had elapsed since he last paid her a visit.
He began to make excuse for the delay,
when she cut him short.

grim Irony, "you'd have been to see ma
long ago:"—Tlt-Blta.
