learn, but sure to learn in time, is that
~ aristocraUy is not that OF birth.
The pages of history and of poetry
might be searched long for heroine
combining so many qualities pertaining
to ideal manhood, as are indicated in the
heroine OF a comparatively unimportant
incident which happened in Brooklyn,
n. T., the other day, and she but
daughter Of an humble shoemaker. Miss
Lulu Prange, a pretty name and pretty
girl Of twenty years, while walking in
the street had her pocket-book stolen by
a poor man who seemed to be suffering
from some disease. The man ran away
and she started in pursuit, but seeing no
chance of overtaking him on foot, and
observing, as she said, "a butchers
wagon driven by nice young man."
she jumped over the wheel into the seat,
and pressed the team into her service.
Overtaking the thief she jumped out
and caught hold of him, and with the
assistance of bystander caused him to
stop. The man told pitiful story of
starving wife and children, with every
evidence of telling the truth. 81 cried
when he told this story" artlessly,
said the girl, in narratinghcr adventure,
but she not only cried, but made thor
ough investigation of the case, and
found the mans story in all respects
true. "What are you going to do to
me-" said the man. "Forgive you, of
cn1rsan renliad the Girl And she
proved the sincerity of her forgiveness
in dividing with him the contents of the
stolen pocketbook, and refusing to make
a charge against him in the court the
next morning. Brave, nimble, merciful,
generous Lulu Prange.
Fashion Notes.
A SMALL cord is again used in the
arm holes of dresses.
ONE of the new bonnets of the Prin-
cess of Wales is of horse hair, trimmed
with myosotis, and another is of crimson
straw crowned with rowan berries.
MONOGRAM fans are in great favor.
They are shown with tiny flags. All
nations being represented, q lady may
declare her nationality and patriotism
by her ian. ...,... .. ...... ...
PINK tissue frills and tissue of flesh
color will be worn this summer. The
light green tissue is not desirable, both
because of its being utterly unbecoming
in effect and because it is limited that
arsenic is used in that peculiar shade.
PARAsoLs are quite startling this sea-
son; they are not so long as they have
been, and are no longer made with the
canopy top; but they make up in bril-
liancy what they lack in size. The reg
ulation size is eighteen inches, and they
come in pongee, which is an ecru color,
lined with white, black, dark blue or
cardinal.
NECK TIES of white muslin laid in
long close folds are made very slender,
and are crossed on the bosom, or else
they are long enough to reach straight
down to the end of the basque. They
are edged with Valenciennes lace, and
have insertion to match. They are also
made of black or white crepe lisse for
mourning.
The glove of the moment is the un-
dressed kid, with four buttons, to match
the costume or the trimmings of the
same. Mittens and Isle thread gloves
will be worn later in the season. Very
beautiful lace mittens are worn with
home toilets, but they are not adapted
for street wear in the city.
MANY rough or coarse straw bonnets
are worn with gilt braid introduced
among the trimmings. Thick wreaths of
bronzed leaves, wreaths Of ribbon, grass
and sage. leaf wreaths are all worn, and
many wreatis are entirely in bege
shades. The most successful represent
pine cones, burrs, thistles, and seed pods,
buttsrcups and dandelions, Mignonette
is also popular flower.
A NEW style of bonnet to wear with
grenadine costume or polonaise has a
soft toque crown of embroidered gauze,
surrounded with wreath Of black and
white daisies. The brim is narrow and
gathered, and over it, the inner edge con-
cealed by wreath, is a slightly gathered
row Of black grenadire lace. The hat
sits close to the head and has no interior
trimming, nor does it require any.
The feature of all the new hats for
garden purposes and country wear is the
straight, flexible brim, which can be
manipulated in any way to suit the taste.
Very little trimming, and of an expen-
sive kind only, isrequired for these hats,
for even the cheap ten cent MANILA ones
can be made Effective by little cover
ing fnet, a skiilfui inlentattiioii OF tut
ing up of brim and the jaunty tying
down with piece of gauze.
MITTs, ike gloves, have long wrists.
Black silk mitts are the most useful and
most in common wear; but for young
ladies who like something more snowy,
there are silk and lace mitts in pink,
blue, cream color and white; and for
evening wear, when full dress is not i'm
perative, white mitts made, of Valen-
ciennes lace, with blue, pink or cherry
