THE REALM OF FASHION. ^THE GREAT SALT LAK& RAPIDLY TURNING INTO AN INLAND SEA OF FRESH WATER. • ■«»«»— Several women have been seen in upper Broadway recently with their hair in nets, says the New York Press. The arrangement was much like the old-fashioned chignon. AGAIN THE CHIGNON. Chignons were worn almost uni versally at about the time of the Civil War. Nobody ever has been known so assert that they were beautiful. , The real chignon is made by rolling seamed and close. The neck Is ished with a high storm collar, and the fronts are extended to form the revers that turn back over the capes when the latter are worn. The three capes are circular in shape and are joined together at the neok where they are neatly bound. As illustrated, the material is heavy diagonal cloth, the only finish being double rows of mkchine stitching. The body of the garment is unlined, but both capes and sleeves are lined with silk, Pockets are inserted in the fronts and are finished with stitched laps. The closing is effected by means of large buttons and button holes, a second row of the buttons be ing added for decoration. To make this coat for a lady in the medium size will require six yards of fifty-four-inch material. Overall* For Small Boy. Every mother knows the advantage of an apron. The overalls here shown, writes May Manton, serve the same purpose, and fill the same need for the boys, at the same time that they are essentially masculine. While they have been widely used during the summer they are also of great value for indoor play and work, such as carpen tering and the like. The material is the denim that is also worn by the workman and can be trusted to endure even 'boy’s usage. The garment is fitted by means of inside and outside leg seams.

The Great Salt Lake is two feet lower to-day than ever before known in the history of Utah, and, according to competent observers, jit is rapidly changing its chief characteristic and turning into an inland sea of fresh water. Every fall the lake is several feet lower than in the spring, but this year the waters have sub tided to such an extent that many of the bathing pavilions and boathouses are left high and dry upon the bead. It has al ways been believed by erj erts that the lake had an underground outlet, but po explorer has yet been fortunate enough to discover any It is sup posed, however, that outl its exist, aud that during the last six : Booths they have gained noticeably upon the springs which supply the ake. On the northern slopes of the lake’s shores and down the we item border are numberless springs which have always run pure brine iut > the inland sea. These springs e through immense rocks earth, and by washing t' they make the spring wai briny by the time it read faces. There have been change in these sprin years.

This makes the entire mess look like the braided rope fenders worn by tng boats. An inducement offered by the chig non is that one can wear somebody else’s hair if one lacks enough of the real article. The fact that it is an exceptionally ugly fashion probably will insure its popularity. In the old chignon days the women often carried in these nets enough false hair to stuff a sofa, and enough wire, etc., in the shape of crinolines to furnish a junk shop. Stylish. Driving Coat. However varied and numerous the short coats and wraps may be, says May Manton, the long driving cloak or ulster, that pro tects from both dampness and cold, must always find a place. The model shown is eminently stylish and prac tical and admits of wear either with or without the capes, so providing for moderate or extreme weather. The backs are snug-fitting, but the double- breasted fronts are loose, so avoiding all danger of crushing the gown be neath. There are both under-arm gores and side-backs, the two together rendering the fitting easy of accom plishment. The fulness at the back is laid in underlying plaits below the waist line. The sleeves are one storage place for all implements. Straps are attached at the back which pass over the shoulders and buckle onto the waist portion of the front. To make these overalls for a boy of fresher than ever. It hi known for many years that Salt Lake is fresher in the enon is probably caused bj tion of great quantities of the snows and streams of tins. Those engaged in ing salt on the lake say Uj six gallons of water to Ion of salt in the summer ai that in the early spring it >ften takes seven and even eight gallo is to make the same quantity. There are three large sti earns emp tying into |the Great Salt Lake—the Bear, Weber and Jordan I ivers—but they make no appreciable difference in the saltiness of the la ke, except aarly in the spring, when they carry the melting snows of the mountains down to the lake. So long as the underground springs of sa t continued to pour their brine into th< lake it re paired an immense volui ae of fresh water to neutralize them. The Great Salt Lake is seventy miles long and fifty miles i tcross in its widest part, and it has an i irea of 2000 square miles. Another peo iliar change that has taken place in th ilake is the gradual upheaval of the b >ttom. In recent years its greatest depth has not exceeded forty feet, while the average depth is only froi a twelve to twenty.
