all the retail dry goods stores have
had their openings. 1'he beautiful

advantage, however, from the fact
that, rich velvets, line feathers and
handsome fabrics, did not look their

The tnilleners displays were never
more beautiful and of a greater va
riety. Two dominant facts wete no-
ticable; thut red and blue are the
popular colors of the season, and that
feathers of every kind will be largely
used in all decorations of head gear.
The shapes arc as varied as the
leaves in a pristine forest. Some
are turned up in front, to accommo-
date i'ompadour style of coiffure, so
popular at this time ; some are caught
up in the back, with a profusion of
flowers, feathers or velvet rosettes
coming well down on the back hair,
aud again others are turned up on the
side with sweeping feathers la (iaius-

with her needle, li consisted of a
high stock-collar of black velvet, to
the top of which was sewed three
circular, flaring collars of the same
tnaleral, each of which was lined
with white satin. The collar was
fastened iu front, and on either side
of the fastening were sewed long
ends of white chiffon trimmed with
narrow black lace. It was very pret-
ty, very becoming, and easily made,
and fur these three reasons appealed
to all beauty loving women. The
tailor-made suits are very pretty,
stylish in cut and set and lined
throughout with silk and trimmed in
handsome braid and buttons, are be-
coming and useful, and have become
almost an essential article of dress to
the "business woman" or to those
who travel to any extent, by reason
of the fact, that with a comfortable
shirt-waist under the jacket, one can
always look neat, and be either
warmly or coolly clad as the exigen-
cies of the climate, aed especially a
Texas climate, demands. For the
girl who wishes to look very military,
there are gay little jackets on sale at
large clahlishments, made of Army
lilue cloth with big sailor collar of
red trimmed in white and the w nole
gay whith brass buttons. They are
very gay, very stylish and becoming

of moderate means, they are too pro-

larity will end.

PEACE .lUMI.KE.
The Peace Jubilee services at St.
Mathew's Cathedral last. Wednesday
night were most impressive. The
magnificent building was profusely
decorated with palms aud potted
plants, and with flags and bunting.
The Hag of Cuba and that of the
United States were iutt rtined and the
(lag of England, in compliment to
the Bishop of the Diocese, the Dean
of the Cathedral aud the organist of
the parish, all of whom are English-
men were also there, the bright col-
ors displayed in the Cross of St.
George, adding its quota to the bril-
liant effect of the decorations. The
music and the splendid address of
Bishop Garrett each had reference
to the occasion for which the people
were called together. The clergy and
choir marched down the main aisle
of the edifice at the beginning of the
service chanting, to the accompani-
ment of the uiagniliceut organ and a
fine string band, Hudyard Kipling's
beautiful hymn of peace. Over the
arch of evergreens and (lowers that
partly screened the chancel was the
one word peace. Bishop Garret
paid a beautiful tribute to the lira-
very. courage and patriotism that
auimatcd our soldiers, and the part
t.uai me women 01 , ,
played iu the late unpleasantness,
enlarging on the fact that women,
and especially the women of the
higher education, had done much to
elevate humanity and to inspire iu
man the noblest traits of character,
the most fervid patriotism, anil
deepest sense of humauitarianism.
Elevate the women of the land, he
said, mentally, and you elevate the
whole laud. Purify the homes of a
great nation, aud you make the na-
tion greater and purer. Create in
man a love of home, a reverence for
women, and you create patriots tnat
do not require the stimulus of a mug
of beer to drive them iuto battle.
TIIE STATE FA I It.
Dallas is fast getting 011 her holi-
day attire preparatory to the great
annual Stale Fair. The managers
tell me that more extended prepcra-
tions are being made than for several
years past, to make the great exposi-
tion a success. The first day will be
Democratic Day. On that day the
biist orators of the state aud else-
where obtainable, will be here to ex-
pound to the people the great prin-
ciples of democracy, and if Major
Saycrs honors the occasion with his
distinguished presence, there will he
no doubt but that the first day of
the Fair will be a gret success, for
the people of Texas will come from
far and near to rally around their
great aud deservedly popular leader
and to hear from him truths, thut
will go far to insure the success of
the Democratic Party.

The administration of Gov. Cul-
berson has been wise and economi-
cal. The Van Alstyuo Leader thus
quotes from the record: "Though
the expenditures of the State gov-
ernment have increased every year
since the Davis administration to
Gov. Culberson's, that executive will
have run the affairs of the State for
four years on $1,250,000 less than his
predecessor, Gov. Ilogg. It has
been done by closely guarding appro-
priations in unnecessary umouuts.
The Denisou Herald is correct:
"The farmers are cursing 4 'a and
5 cent cotton again this year, but
they must uot forget iu heaping
anathemas on the low price of the
staple, that they failed to raise hogs,
corn, oats aud wheat, all of which
are on the increase in value instead
of decline. Raise the things needed
most—they will be most iu dcuiuud
and will bring the best price.
