Wnen Adam walked the garden round,
Ana woman was not known,
His Maker said at is not good
For man to be alone'
But II the Lord had known what woes
mat man through Eve should find,
Perhaps on sober second thought
He might have changed his mind

A PRETTY way of making up the
challies or delaines is in polonaise
fashion, opening at thes side and falling
over breadth of lace plated in long
straight folds from the waist, and hay
ing revers collar and cuffs of velvet
the color of the deepest figure.
The handles of parasols were never.
more varied than now. Great rings,
large enough to pass over the hand,
tennis rackets, horse-shoes, balls OF
carnelian, hammered silver, dainty
cameo, glass and crystal, painted
porcelain, silver stag's horns ard
chamOis horns are few of the MANY
designs.
WOMAN, God bless her bright eyes,
can make roses blossom in the desert,
and when so minded she can give to
the most commonplace affairs of life
rather much of rainbow look, but to
save her eyebrows she can't use q pen
without getting ink on her fingers any
more than she can remember the day
of the month.
HER head was pillowed on his
breast, and looking up in q shy way,
she said: EDO you know, dear George,
that =" "You mean dear James, /
think" he interrupted, smiling fondly
at her mistake. "Why, yes, to be
sure. How stupid / am! I was think

SAILORS have hearty appreciation
OF beauty, but often an odd way of
expressing it. At a reception given on
the American war vessel Iroquois, in
the harbor of Manila, Philippine ISL
ands, among the many beautiful Span
lsh ladies who came on board was a
black-eyed matronly lady, whose head
covering was a thin laceveil. Her hair
was combed up from the back and
sides to the top and forepart of the
head and massed in puffs and curls.
"Jack," took her in at a glance and
said to one of his fellows: II say,
mate, what do you think of that rig?

A PRETTY young mamma, with a lit
tie girl by her sid nearley as
pretty as herself, was being enter
tanned by a male stranger, who had
struck up an acquaintance through
the usual and always convenient
mediumship of the little girl. The
stranger did all the talking He was
one Of those men who think they know
everything, but only rarely get a good
chance to tell it. The lady answered
only In monosyllables. The little girl
listened patiently and demurely for a
time and then began to fdget around
in her seat. Finally, as the stranger
stopped for a breath, she said: ''Mam-
ma, you've found one, amt your"
"What, my dear ?" "Why, don't you
remember what you told papa when
he said you'd belonesome on thecars?
! You said you'd find some bore to talk
you to Sleep" Mamma looked out of
the window and the stranger suddenly
thought he had better go into the
smoking car to find his friends.-Chi-

BLACK toilets of every description are
| In great vogue this summer, and among
q number Of very elegant black cos
TUNES of silk and satin in varied styles
| shown by an uptown importing house
skirt trimming and that upon the
tunic and bodice consisting OF fan
plaitings of dark red satin Of a. superb
shade, yelled by black Spanish lace.
The deep oYerdress of the merveilleux
is laid in folds at the top under the
belt, and in the center of the tunic is
inserted fan plating of the satin and
lace, which reaches from the waist to
the lower edge of the tunic, widening
considerably as it nears the bottom.
| The arrangement of the founces upon
the underskirt follows the style of the
tunic trimming, but is of course much
narrower, being about twelve inches
deep. The most effective portion of
the trimming is seen upon the bodice
where the silk is cut away
and replaced by a fan Of red
satin covered with lace. The plaits
close tightly together at the throat,
widening Immediately to fill the
open space which is "Vandyked."
Thus thesatin being spread and there
fore less thickly covered with lace, ap-
pears to Tighten and brighten in color
as if shaded, and the effect is quite out
of the ordinary. A similar arrange
ment is made upon the sleeves, which
are very short, giving very brighten
ing effect just below the shoulder.
A PORCELAIN tub for bathing is a.
luxury within the reach of few, but
everyone can keep with care the me-
tallic bath tub spotless and well pre-
served The orthodox tub called
''Philadelphian" is curved and sloped
at one end, as if to support the shout
ders. The ''New York" tub has its
sides and back perpendicular, it is
roomy and holds more water. AS
the best tubs are made Of copper,
heavily timed, it is on the proper
care of the tin that the brightness and
continued polish depends. A new tub
can be kept bright for years with
proper attention. Let it be bath
tub indeed as we'll as in name; that is,
use it for bathing only. Let hand
washing, rinsing, ETC., be carried on
elsewhere. Do not let heavy buckets
