Resorts. NEWARK, N. J., April S.-At the meeting: to-day of the local Woman's Christian Tmperance Union In Temperance Hall vigorous protest against the customs sanctioned on the bathing beaches of the coast resorts in summer was made by several epeakers. Present practices were described as revolting." 'vile" and "corrupt," and held responsible for sending girls downward on the road to ruin. The white ribboners were urged to rise in a body and put an end to such things. Mrs. Margaret Tierce, of Watsessing, but formerly of Kngland. brought up the subject, telling of her first sight of an American bathing beach. She said: "When I saw the men ami women tumbling about In the water lik hcg;s, without any sense of decency I had such a shock as I havo riever gotten over. The i:ngli?h do not bathe that way. No, Indeed. It is corrupt; it is vile there isn't a word in the English language bad enough to describe it. That kind of seaside bathing is responsible for tilling our streets with girls with painted faces. Two-thirds of the girls who go wrong are pent on the first steps of their way by Just that kind of seaside bathing." PREPARE TO LAY THE HALL CORNERSTONE Daughters of the Revolution Hold Preliminary Meeting in I Washington. WASHINGTON. April 8.

The cornerstone has been out in Vermont and wifl reach here next week. The foundations are in readiness. The dedication promises to be a brilliant ceremony. Reports received from every State and Territory indicate that the congress will be one of the largest in the history of order. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY M ANTON. Fancy voiles make one of the many novelties of the season and are charming both In color and texture. The exceedingly attractive waist Illustrated shows one In old bhio flecked with white, and is trimmed with one of the beautiful bandings, that chows dull shades of blue, rose and green, and combined with a yoke of tucked mescaline satin. The color scheme is a peculiarly good on and the style of tho waist Is admirable, ina?much as it includes both bertha and shirrlngs, two features of rashlcn which cannot be overlooked. The waist consists of the fitted lining, which is facvd to form the back of the 4B98 Fftxcj Waist, 32 to 40 bust yoke, fronts, back and front of yoke and is closed, the lining at center front, the wnist Invisibly at the left side, on a line with the ede of the bertha, and the yoke at the left shoulder seam. The fronts are shirred at and below their edges and form full folds below, but the back is plain, simply drawn down In gathers at the belt. The bertha is cut in handkerchief style and its upper edge is ou timed by a shaped band that is continued across the front. The sleeves are novel and becoming and are snug at the wrists, forming deep cuffs, full above &nd are shirred at the shoulders. The quantity of material required for the medium ize is 5 3-8 yards 21 inches wide, 4V yards 27 inches wide, or 2 yards 41 inches wide, with l yard of tucking for ycke and 8 yards of banding to trim as illustrated.

Slowly and laboriously the stout woman elragg.ei herself up on to the car by the front entrance. It was a car with one seat along each side. Panting with her exertion, she dropped into the nearest seat, calmly ignoring the fact that the seat was already eccupled. The thin, weazened man who sat in it was in imminent danger, but

V with surprising agility he slid out fvom under the impending avalanche before he was quite pinned to the bench. The stcut woman remained a? complacent and unconcerned as if small elderly men were the ordinary upholstery of car seats. The girl, the girl's young man and the girls friend were all on the car together. The girl's friend was prettier than s;-ho, but the didn't m'.r.d in it she owned the young nan and a splendid big picture hat.

The "complexion ring" is the latest result of the eternal search for costly feminine novelties. The shape of this ring and the color of the stones set in it are made dependent on the shape and color of the wearer's hands. In accordance with this scheme, a woman who possesses hands of exceeding whiteness and wishes to emphasize that fact would be provided with a ring set with turquoises, and the shape and size of the ring would be made to conform to the length of the fingers. Proprietors of beauty shoos are taking advantage of the new fasihen by declaring that by certain mysterious manipulations and cosmetics they can adapt the color and shape of the hand to the ring for far less than It will cost to get a ring to suit the style of the hand. The woman who wishes to bo up to date pays her money and takes her choice of the two methods. Colored diamonds, it is snld, will be the vogue this season, especially those of an amber or canary hue. Hitherto diamonds have usually been cut with "table" or flat fronts. Now it is said they are to have pointed fronts, which will increase their brilliancy. A Bernhardt Lotion. Philadelphia Telegraph. Sarah Bernhardt, who is well known for her perennial youthfulness, attributes the seeming miracle entirely to a special skin tonic which she favors. This eau sedative is said to have the effect of making the flesh firm and elastic, while strengthening and whitening the skin and soothing the terrible "nerves" to which our twentieth century womanhood seems a ready prey. The recipe for the lotion is as follows: Half a pint of alcohol, two ounces of spirits of camphor, two ounces of spirits of ammonia and five ounces of sea salt, to be added to sufficient boiling water to make a quart in all. when the mixture should be placed in a bottle and thoroughly shaken before use. This lotion, which should be well rubbed into the skin daily, is said to be especially efficacious In taking the fatigue out of tired muscles. ' Colored Shoes New York Press. One of the freaks of fashion, as observed in New York on Broadway these days, is the number and variety of colored boots worn by women. These are not of the ordinary tan shades, though there is a strong "revival" of tan boots and shoes; the freakiness is shown in the wearing of stich colored leathers as red and mocha brown. Another variation of this colored boot fad is seen when the stroller catches glimpses of patent leather boots with white cloth uppers. That this expensive whim has come to stay for at least a- long a time as most whims retain .life U- shown by the windows of the fashionable shoe shops. There the colored footwear blossoms forth in such variety as to make the spots fair rivals to the windows of florists' shops. A Pretty Black Gowu, New York Times. Mrs. Clarence Mackay dined at Sherry's in a square-necked gown, with elbow sleeves of black gauze and lace. The skirt was very long and was flounced to the knees with lace ruffles. It was entirely black, and a very long scarf, perhaps twenty-four inches wide, of black gauze, and bordereel with fine, dull silver embroidery, was laid across her shoulders and covered the decolletage. the ends falling In the front to below the knee line. Her dark hair was done in a low coiffure, with amber pins at each side. TIIL: JOURNAL'S SHOPPING DEPARTMENT For the L'i! of Journal Subscribers.

In the Theaters To-Dny'n Schedule. ENGLISH'S. Amelia "Olympe," and 8 p. m. Dingham, In GItAND.-High-class vaudeville, 2:13 and 8:15 p. m. PARK. "A Hot Old Time." 2 and S p. m. EMI'IKE. Hurlesque, 2 and 8 p. m. UNIQUE. Variety, 3 and 8 p. in. Amelia IHiikIiiiiu nt EngliMh'M. This afternoon and evening, at English's, Amelia Bingham will be seen in her new romantic drama by Pierre Decourcelle, "Olympe," which had its initial presentation about two months ago in New York, and which was pronounced a handsome production. Miss Bingham has never before come to this city with a play of this class, she having been associated altogether with modern society plays in the past. "Olympe" is described as a semihistorical drama, much of the same kind that Sardou so cunningly fashioned for Fanny Davenport, and it gives Miss Bingham a chance to show her ability as an emotional actress rather than as a comedienne. The play is a story of the picturesque and interesting period of the fif-. teenth Eouis of France, and shows beautiful stage pictures and charming gowns, powdered wigs, and tho loves and intrigues of that most brilliant of French courts. Miss Bingham is noted for tho good supporting companies which she invariably carries with her on her tours. Her new leading man is young Henry Woodruff, last seen in Indianapolis with Mrs. Fiske, playing the part of the Roman, Flavius, in "Mary of Magdala." He appears in "Olympe" as a young priest. Creston Clarke, who was seen here early in the season with James O'Neill, is an important member of the company, and other actors of prominence in the cast are Edgar L. Davenport, who was with Julia Marlowe last season, J. II. Gilmour and Myron Calico. Among the principal women in the company arc Miss Adelyn Wesley, who is not only well known as an actress, but also as a New York society and club woman, and Miss Ivy Troutman, who has appeared here before with Miss Bingham. American (ilrl'H Debut. NICE, France, April 8. Alice Suranne Williams, daughter of the late Dr. Williams, of Ohio, made a successful debut at the Municipal Theater to-night as Margurite in "Faust." The American colony was strongly represented in tho audience. Miss Williams' studied under Massenet and Saleha, the latter to-night playing Faust. Theatrical Notes. When Lottie West Symonds reached the Park Theater with the "A Hot Old Time" company, she found awaiting her a mail package containing a pair of gloves. "This must be another one," she said, as she opened the parcel. Miss Symonds went to Australia last summer, and while she was on the -sea the races between the Columbia anel Shamrock occurred at New York. Idiss Symonds backed her faith on the American boat, making wagers with about every passenger on the steamer on which she sailed. The steamer broke down, and for five days -drifted in a calm. When a steamer on the Oceanic line passed within five miles of the becalmed boat, signals were exchanged, and it was learned that the Columbia had defeated the British yacht. Miss Symonds, the only American on board, won a load or candy, gloves and trinkets, most of the wagers being paid when she reached Melbourne. During the winter, while touring the United States, she has at several cities found a pair of gloves awaiting her, they being from some passenger of the steamer who lost on the Shamrock. Thomas W. Ross, vho is playing the title role in "Checkers" with much success, made his first stage appearance about nine years ago, at tho Boston Museum, and until two years ago he played in stock companies almost altogether, thus gaining much valuable experience. He is now twenty-eight years old, and is one of the hardest working young actors on tho American stage. He believes in rehearsals even after the play has been "whipped into shape," and although "Checkers" has now been on the boards since last spring, he occasionally calls a rehearsal of the company in order to rehearse some "bit of business" which, to his mind, requires improvement. "Checkers" will be presented in this city at English's, next Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and Wednesday afternoon, by almost identically the same company which was seen in it last spring in Indianapolis. May Yokes still plays the comical servant girl, and Dave Braham. jr., continues to appear as the racetrack tout, "Push" Miller. The Grand's vaudeville programm next week will be headed by what promises to be a genuine novelty the Eight Vassar Girls, in artistic musical selections aud a spectacular electrical ballet. The young women wh present this act are all skillful instrumental musicians, vocalists and dancers, and their specialty, which Is said to be lavishly staged by Paul Armstrong, has scored a hit in the Eastern vaudeville houses. The Eretto Family of five daring acrobats will make their first appearance in this city. The Erettos hail from the European music halls, and their exhibition is said to be a wonderful one. Other contributors to the new bill will le the "Great" Leon, a magician who has never been seen hre; Al Lawrence, the monologuist and mimic; Green and Werner, in a singing and dancing act; Bailey and Madison, in a nonsensical absurdity; Cordua and Maue. high-class equilibrists, and Frey und Fields, in a comedy sketch. It has been a good many years since Louis James and Frederick Warde were seen in this city together iu Shakspeare's "Othello," and their presentation of the sublime tragedy at English's. Monday evening. Is looked forward to with considerable interest. Their managers. Wagenhals and Kemper, have provided a very elaborate scenic equipment for the Immortal drama, it is said, and the supporting company includes several players of prominence. Mr. James will appear as Othello, generally considered his strongest character; Mr. Wardc will enact the crafty Iago; Miss Alma Kruger. a very

of Indianapolis promising young actress, will be the Desdemona; Norman Hackett, who appeared with Warde and James in "The Tempest" Inst season, will be the Cassio, and Thomas Cook the Roderigo. The seats for the one performance are now on sale at English's. -f Mme. Tatti is at home again In Wales, and, according to an interview with the diva, published in the London Chronicle, she declares that her American tour was a "glorious success." "I sung at forty concerts," -she Is quoted as saying, "appearing at all the principal towns. Oh, but it wag terribly trying such vast distances to travel. The audiences? they were delightful. They would not let me stop singing, and we could hear them shouting when we were driving away from the halls." The truth is that It was impossible to keep the dear old lady from singing, and the shouts which she and her baron heard as they drove away from the halls, came from people who were calling out vigorously to get their money back. When the all-star cast now playing "The Two Orphans" In New York goes on the road in that sterling old melodrama, next season, Grace George will be one of its members for the first threo months, and will then appear as the star of a new modern comedy of life, in Washington. The play is now being prepared for her by Channing Pollock, the young dramatist who made the successful stage version of "The Pit." from the late Frank Norris's novel. Mr. Pollock was formerly a dramatic editor In Washington, and is very familiar with his ground in writing of the nation's capital. Kirke La Shelle, owner of "Checkers" and several other very successful theatrical productions, sailed for Naples a few days ago with his family, to be gone for three months on a vacation. It is the ambition of this-well-known manager to make a comfortable fortune, retire from theatrical management within the next five years, and spend the rest of his life in Italy. Ho seems to be in a fair way to realize his ambition, as all of hi3 productions have proved great money-makers this season. He will make no new production until next January. It seems that nothing on earth can shake the faith of Walter Jones In that musical comedy of his, "The Sleepy King," which is probably the worst thing of the kind ever put together. The comedian, who has plenty of money to back him, is now trying to secure a Chicago theater in which he may put on "The Sleepy King" for a summer run. With two promised productions of "Parsifal" in cheap theaters, a revival of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" under way, and "The Sleepy King" threatening to settle down for a long summer's nap Chicago Is indeed to be pitied. A dramatization of Hamlin Garland's ! novel, "Hesper," is being made for the use of William Faversham. The play will be called "For Love of Hesper," which sounds more like Faversham than the original title The new piece will be a melodrama in four acts, with scenes laid at Colorado Springs. The hero is a miner, who, for the love of a girl, is called upon to perform many courageous deeds. Julia Opp, who is Mrs. Faversham in private life, will be seen in the play with the popular star. The Bon Ton Burlesquers will close their engagement at the Empire with two performances to-day. The show's most commendable performers are the clever chorus girls. Next week the Empire's attraction will be the Al Reeves companv, a well-known vaudeville nd musical travesty combination. Some of the leading performers with the company are Fannie Fern Thatcher, Belle Williams. Andy Lewis, Van der Koor, the magician, Evelyn Fonner, and Mullen and Corelli. Mrs. Robert Osborne, the society dressmaker of New York, has declared that the costuming in Amelia Bingham's new play, "Olympe." to be seen at English's this afternoon and to-night, is the most beautiful even seen on the American stage. At Mrs. Astor's ball, a few weeks ago, Miss Bingham's Louis XV dress was copied outright every detail of it according to the society writers for the New York papers. FORMER QUEEN OF SPAIN REPORTED DYING Grandmother of King Alfonso Attended by Her Three Daughters. FARIS, April 8. The condition of former Quecn Isabella, of Spain, is exciting serious apprehension, owing to her advanced age and the complications. Her three daughters, the Infantas Isabella, Eulalie and Marie, are now at her bedside here. It is said, but the report is not confirmed, that Queen Isabella has asked to tv her grandson. King Alfonso, and a telegram to that effect may be sent to him. A Sunday la Florence. The Rev. Thomas J. Villers will give his seventh travel talk at the Grand Opera House on Sunday evening, his topic being. "A Sunday at Florence, or the Story of Christ in Art." Special mention will be made of Raffaelle'a "Madonna of the Chair;" Ghibcrti's bronze doors, by Arselo declared worthy to be the gates of Paradise; Fra Angeliro's "Crucifixion." in the Convent of San Marco, where Savonarola had his cell, and Angelo's "Entombment," wrought in marble. i Craig's caudles ire certainly good.

Dainty Creations cf Many Colors and Delicate Materials Suited to All Styles of Gowns Seme Are Very Costly

Correspondence cf the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK. April 7. lu spite cf the late rpriag and the long, long period of chill and darkness that we have experienced, warm days are coming and before we quite know it genuine summer boat will be upon us. The sun is likely to b-i tricky at this season. It is by no means unusual tor him to dissemble as to his real intent all through April and then suddenly to make us realize what he can do when he tries. This year being the phenomenal one it his proved itself, we may well look for pranks even out of the common, but, let cur arbiter cf heat and cold be as capricious as he will, the time of protracted end regular heat cannot be far ahead, and wiso folk are making ready to enjoy the fresh beauty of summer when at last it shall have arrived. Among all the accessories of the toilet none is ef more importance from either the standpoint of comfort or of style than the parasol. It completes a costume as nothing else can. It affords protection and adds to the effect at one and the same time. In skillful hands it even contributes to the success of tho social game and lends Its aid to the little coquetries of which the season of holiday making is so apt to be productive. For all of which reasons it must be considered carefully and well and is amply worthy an entire chapter of Its own. This year the variety offered is almost bewildering. Were it not that the different sorts can be classified, and selection so confined to some extent at least, such would indeed be the fact, but. happily, what suits morning dress can be considered by itself, what befits the carriage can be set apart and various other subdivisions can be made. As, however, It is the allround useful sunshade, the one that we carry day by day as we tread the busy streets or walk the country roads, that fills the first and most Important need, it is that one which comes first to my mind. Plain coaching umbrellas always hold. In them I see little change; they are made of Kilk in all colors and with handles that are big knobs. In club styles, or fashioned after the heads of animals, as they have been for several years. Yet their popularity shows no decrease. For their purpose they are very nearly perfect, and, such being the case, they will remain. It is in the newer and the more fanciful things that one must look for change. Parasols that are as simple as those known as coaching are made of plain pongee lined with white India silk and are finished with a half-Inch double ruffle of this last. Others are of plain-colored silk with borders that are flowered, the borders being not over two inches wide, and others again are made of plain black and flowered silk, the latter forming a band at the center that is held in place by fancy stitches, but while all theve take the shape of the coaching umbrella they are different and show handles of quite another sort. Preferably these are simple, of natural furze, cherrj-, bamboo or magnolia, "with knobs or crooks, but no law can be laid down, as one sees many things, although the best taste relegates elaboration to the paräsol of white or of more delicate tints. THE USEFUL VARIETY. For these useful, all-around ones green and dark blue take precedence of all other plain colors, and, with all-over flowered designs on medium grounds, of almost all e!se. Dark green and dark blue can be carried with many gowns. Flower silks of this sort are nondescript In color and consequently harmonize with almost all else. If one's choice must be limited to one scarcely anything better could be found. One pretty example is in gray with the flowers of the shadowy sort and another in tan, while countless more might be mentioned. As I have already stated sticks are of simple wood and are tied about with bows made of the silk. Tucks are not new. Wo had them galore a year ago, but they are here again and are too pretty to be overlooked. Taffeta tucked to form a border is handsome and simple and one sees them used in that way as well as the graduated ones that extend to the stick in the plain colored silks that are alwaj's desirable when in harmony with the gown, but greater novelty by far Is found in the dark blues and greens that show a narrow border of flowered silks, the blossoms being vague and shadowy and the grounds black or the same dark shade as the foundation silk. It is in the parasols of lighter color and greater elaboration that one must look for greater novelty and change. These plainer ones, while most essential of all to the woman of affairs, do not vary greatly from season to season, being always plain and little trimmed. Both the parasols of the carriage and those designed ' for the white and lightcolored costumes, which will be worn during the entire summer at out-of-town resorts, are really lovely and show many quite fresh and novel features. It is a season of lace and of embroidery and the fact is as apparent in the parasols as in the gowns. Also there Is a new and altogether charming fashion which utilizes the material of the gown whenever suitable. One of the daintiest French lawns I have seen is pale violet and white and is made with the gathered ruffles that so vividly recall our great grandmothers, the parasol also being edged with three narrow lace-edged frills. Others, less extravagant, inasmuch as they suit not one but many gowns, are of white silk flowered, of Fllk embroidered, of silk lace-trimmed and of silk with ruches of ruffles and, newer still, of heavy white linen with borders of openwork embroidery.' Pretty, quaint-looking ones are made with both ruches and frills, the silk being finely tucked in groups and either ruches of chiffon or narrow frills of the silk being set between the groups. The light-colored flowered silks are exquisitely charming and dainty without being over-perishable. A a rule, the parasols are plain, in coaching style, and the flowers arc sometimes scattered over the whole, sometimes from an outside border only and sometimes a border and a finish at the top. But however arranged they are always attractive and ore shown both on plain und moire grounds. Others, of quite a different sort, are made of plain silks in light colors and arc variously trimmed. LINEN-TRIMMED PARASOLS. There is a rage for using linen on silk in all things and it appears In the parasols as well as elsewhere. Most charming simple ones are finished with a hem and tuck of natural-colored batiste each edged with Irregular white silk, braid. Others are slightly more elaborate and are lacetrimmed. Among these white is a favorite with heavy cream lace which is set on as a border, in motifs and in almost every possible way. Venetian sorts are favorites and the shapes and designs of the motifs are without number. An exceedingly handsome model is of white moire with crescent-shaped bits of lace applied in each section. Another shows crescents and medallions combined and similar things mlgM be quoted by the score. The plainer ones are unlined but those with lace trimming often show linings of shirred chiffon and one sees such combinations as finely embroidered muslin medallions set round with lace, the silk beneath the muslin being cut away, or heavy lace motif with centers of thinner sorts or of net treated in the same manner, giving a semi-transparent effect over the chiffon only. A beautiful moelel is white moire of the handsomest sort and is quite plain on the outside and unlined. and shows an applique of heavy point ele Venise some three inches wide making a border on the Inside, the effect of the lovely silk being elegant in the extreme. The embroidered linen is both new and essentially smart and will have great vogue with white linen suits both before and after luncheon. PAINT AND EMBROIDERY. Embroidery and paintiuss, both forming the entire decoration and combined with lace, are greatly liked and are often really exquisite, although painting requires careful handling and an artist's eye to Insure success. Embroidery is mostly white on white and in French style but I have seen some few parasols showing work in the English, or what the French call a Jour, with eyelets and other open effects over chiffon linings, these last being shirred and forming puffs at the edges. The heavier. raled embroidery Is, as a rule, designed

in points, cne la each Fectlca and varloui are the forms used. traj,es are favorite and flowers and vines a 1 are seen, but almost uniformly arranged In the big point or pyramids of which I already have written. The openwork is less formal aid takes all-over designs or isolated figures as may be preferred. Painting is mostly confined to soft silks and to mor.sseiinc. A nally lovely parasol is of this latter ia white and shws rprays of big jink rose that are executed not alone with skill, with discretion as wt-U and are dim and shadowy rather thau ia any way aggressive. Chiffon shirred and frilled is nnt so much seen as has been the case in former sea,sons, althoush It Is here, but makes trimmings that ;:re a!:Uily charming. As handsome a carriage parasol as I have seni is of white silk with elaborate trimming of black lace inset with medallions of black chiffon white dotted, the silk beneath these bvlng cut away, and is finished with a frill of white chiffon edged with a tiny ruche of black and lined with the white shlrrd. A a lining for the all-fashionable white fillc It is lovely and gives a most fascinating soft effect that is so becoming as to be welcome for that reason alone, but is shirred and made very full. One dainty creation is of white mousseline painted witn white roses and is lined with the chifton, but for the mot part silk is used and is made elaborate with trimming. An exceedingly handsome one is of white moire and is cut in tig scallops at the edge, those scallops being finished with appliciu of embroidered chiffon. In pink and green on white, made in the outline of the scallops which is exceedingly attractive and tasteful without any of the over full that so often has been apparent. Handles are almost all things. For th plainer, simpler parasols they are plain, as I have already said, but those finer ones afford a wide range of choice and elegance. Fine woods are quite correct and the magnolia, which is palest preen and tckes a fine polish, is much liked for the plainer white or flowered silks, but carved wood, carved Ivory, silver and gold, both carved and Inset with gems are seen. One of tha prettiest chiffon-lined models I have seen has a somewhat heavj stick of carved sandal wood that is most elegant and tha ivories are. many of them, superb, but. for the most part, much luxury Is reserved for gifts or for those folk whose wealth is so great as to allow of every indulgence. Reautiful wood is tasteful and correct in one and will outnumber every other sort, although these finer ones cannot be overlooked. A pretty notion, when the parasol Is a gift, is to use one of the Japanese lucky carvings, or nctsukis. so embodying good wishes with beautiful work. The word netsuki, let me add, has been so misu'ed that its real meaning is by no means generally understeod. Its first real prominence here was In connection with the pursea made from Oriental tobacco cases, and not a few persons have taken it to mean that one object, whereas It really applies to the carved image, or lucky stone, which is attached thereto and can be used in a hundred other ways as well.
