Mrs. Garfield.

Cleveland Letter: The Garfield
home on Prospect street, where Mrs.
Garfield has lived since the bitter days
Immediately following President Gar
fields death, is empty and for sale.
Mrs. Garfield and her family have gone
to live at the Mentor farm that her hus-
band loved so well, and where, she
says. she can find more peace and
comfort than anywhere else. Before
she went there the house on the farm
was remOdelel and added to. Still it
was much too small for the equipments
of the city house, and few days ago a
private sale was held. at VIII Oh great

from town and near Hiram College.
where her boy was taught and taught
others. The old lady is restered al
most to sickness by autogra ph-hunters
and will attend to them no more. She
is strong and very clear OF mind, as of
old. Since the removal of Mrs. Gar
field to Mentor, Grandma has rejoined
her. One reason why the house on the
farm was enlarged was the need of a
room where President Garfield S effects
and papers could be placed.
These have all been arranged with
the utmost care and placed in system
attic order. The articles in the memo
rial room of the Prospect street house
have also been removed to a specially
built room in the Mentor house. And

Thea Raw IN Exile.

Theebaw, the ex-King of Burmah,
and with his two Queens and their
children is at Rutnagherry, where he
arrived in April from Madras, the
King brought on shore by coolies in an
arm chair which was wholly covered
with turkey red The two queens were
then brought to shore, and so were the
children and attendants.
The Times, of India, says that Thee
baw who is about % years of age, is a
strong built, middle-sized man, with
round, fair Chinese complexion, and
wears a slight moustache. He has a
prepOssessing appearance and the gait
and behavior of refined person. He
had put ON white silk coat reaching
down TO his knees, and had silk Ian
goti of variegated colors. He was
wearing white silk pauggree like the
rim of persian hat, from the top of
which his plaits of hair, which were
tied up in the form of a cone, were
visible. He was also wearing white
silk stockings and Kid leather shoes,
and on the whole he presented a smart
appearance. On each side of his
breast there were attached to the silk
coat two rows of diamonds and rubies
of the size of small chestnuts in gold
settings. which shOne brightly in the
morning rays of the sun.
Sopayah Lat, his favorite queen was
dressed in a small white silk petticoat,
and blue frontages. and a silk langoti.
stockings, and English shoes. The up
per portion of her chest. which was
bare, was ornamented with a huge
diamond necklace some three or four
rows deep, while a sort of a cOronet
set with rabies, emeralds, and dia-
monds, was fixed into the folds of her
hair Just above her forehead. She had
also huge gold rings, set with large
diamond and emerald on either side of
it, fixed into the holes bored into the
lobes of her ears.
The other queen, who was similarly
dressed, and decorated with diamonds
and rubies and emeralds as Sopayah
Lat, did not, however, present a de-
spending appearance. She is at all
events more handsome and lively than
the rival queen. After Theebaw and
his two queens had been landed, Mr..
Propert and Mr.. Crawford led the way,
and Immediately Sopayah Lat, turned
toward her royal consort, cast a visit
full glance at him, and offering him her
left hand, followed hand in hand the
two officials.
The second queen followed the royal
couple. They all walked with light
though firm step 10 the other end of the
shore, where the carriages were wait
ing for them. The two queens seated
themselves in what might be called the
seat of honor, and Theebaw and Mr..
Propert occupied the opposite seat.
The eldest child was also taken into the
carriage by Sopayah Lat, and the par
ty was then driven to their bungalow
on the hill. In the second boat were
brought the six maids of honor and two
other infant children of Theebaw.
The maids of honor were dressed in
much the same way as the two queens,
but they had not their magnificent
Jewels to decorate themselves with.
But still each one, decorated as they
were, carried a mine of wealth with
her. Two of these maids carried,
among other very valuable articles, two
huge bows. which are made of pure
gold.

Eanctes of The Day.

Countless parasol handles are decor
with bows of ribbons of one or two
colors. The bows are tied inst above
the portion of handle held in the hand,
and both loops and ends are quite
short.
A charming half-mourning bonnet
consists of dead-jet beads in lattice
work design, with ties and garniture of
lavender gauze and cluster of dead
jet grasses.
Great quantities of tulle and gauze
are employed on many of the summer
hats and bonnets, and plain, dotted,
and embroidered styles are equally
fashionable.
The fashion of wearing the hair high
on the head, in compact form, still con-
tinues, but it should be drawn up loose
ly from the nape of the neck.
Escurial grenadine is material
much used for dressy summer wraps.
At distance it gives the effect Of
heavy lace, and is much less expensive.
Neither gloves nor hats are chosen
to match dresses as frequently as for
merly, but they should not be worn
without due regard for each other.
All-white handkerchiefs are now
considered in better taste than those
with colored borders or embroideries.
White flannel dresses will be quite as
popular this season as last and appear
in new and graceful models.
Large buttons are but little used on
summer dresses, although appearing
on all the newest wraps.
The newest gauze fans seem designed
wholly for ornament, and are most
beautiful and fragile.
Tan-colored gloves, with heavily
stitched backs, are the most approved
for street wear.
Cherries and currants of natural size
and color adorn (?) many summer
bOnnets.
Coarse heavy straw is so much used
that finer varieties are almost lost sight
of.
Chenille-strung gauze appears among
the novelties in hat trimmings.
Small Mikado fans are included in
the fashionable hair ornaments.
Stripes are not in as high favor as
during the early spring.

The GRANDMOTHER.

The dear grandmother! How we all
should miss her should she be taken
away. VINO can read and make the
story seem so interesting, as grandma?
Who, when one of the family is ailing,
can so quickly suggest a remedy as
grandma? Who can plant garden
equal to her? Embroider cushion, or
paint a plaque, or shirr bonnet? A
wonderful woman you will think. But
that is not all. That grandma can cook
a dinner so that all the children and
grandchildren will admit that nobody
can cook like grandma. She is, as the
children say, ian honest truly grand
ma. One day. not feeling well, grand
ma paid a visit to Helen. Helen s
babies were all small then. The
Youngest was a golden-haired, blue
eyed little spit-iire. WOman-like,
''when she would she would, and when
she would nt YOU couldn't make her. y
After vain attempts one day to
soothe the little ones temper, grand
ma gave it up and turned the child
over to its mother. Then grandma
came in the house and sat down and
wrote letter to the home folks. We
all knew, when we read the postscript,
that grandma was homesick and would
be home before long. This was the
postscript:
Bonnie little Bessie Gray, your merry
eyes are blue as the skies on balmy
summer day,
But your temper is getting beyond con
troll, and when you set up to cry one
might as well try TO stop the wind, or
make old ocean backward roll.
But you are winsome, cunning little witch
That III allow;
But I'll tell YOU now
You'll have to be doctored with switch"
There grandma stopped short. as if
as if out of breath. But we all knew
that it was an impromptu sputter of
grandIna's and just written to vent
her feelings. How many of the
young readers. l wonder, can boast of
such grandma?

HUMILITY.

Sings in the shade, when all things rest:

She meekly sat at Jesus feet;
And Lydia gently opened heart
Was made for Gods own temple meet:

What to Wear Abroad.

Correspondents of the Queen furnish
the following answers to inquiries re-
garding the proper outfits for summer
tours to Scotland and Germany-infor-
nation which may also prove of more
or less value to American women con-
templating visits to those countries:
Having spent most of my life in
Scotland, both in the Lowlands and
extreme Highlands, can with conf
dence speak of .'Heather's' require
ments for that country. A well-made
tweed costume, with jacket, is neces-
sary, and rough blue serge is also
useful for boating or fishing excursions,
while pair of thick boots should not
be omitted Otherwise, a summer out
tit for Scotland is much the same as is
required for England. Muslins are
hardly suitable. but cambria dresses,
white petticoats, pretty shady hats,
lace parasols, light walking shoes-in
fact, all that goes to make a we'll
dressed woman's summer toilet is nee
essary. Englishwomen are not aware
of the amusement they occasion by APP
pCaring in ''tweeds' and wet weather
costume, as they often do, at garden
or tennis parties. OF course, a lady's
evening dress is the same wherever she
goes.
'.Chinky Chez will find July and
August in Germany extremely hot, and
Swai bach is a hot place. September
is sometimes quite cold, so that it
wculd be well 70 take a summer tweed
or serge that would do for that month,
as well as for chilly mornings and even
ing before then, especially in Switzer-
land. A jacket to 60 with the gown,
| but which would do to wears with thin
ner gowns, is always most useful. A
long travelling and driving cloak, COM
pletely enveloping the figure, of can
| vas or tweed, with velvet collar, and of
/ graceful shape, is a most useful gar
ment, and "Chinky Chez" should not
/ forget to take one. Two or three
| pretty gowns are required for Sundays
| tables Il hote, concerts and other day
entertainment, and the three cotton
ones specified would probably be
sufficient. ''Chinky Chez" no doubt
knows that luggage is highly charged
! on the Continent, and at some places a
! heavy large box is very inconvenient
at out of the way places. A thin grey
beige always looks well and cool, and
a black foulard and lace also. Dress
ing quietly, and in grey, with one
white gown, fawn or black, saves a
good deal of trouble, unless a more
| elaborate outfit can be afforded and ex-
pense is not an object. The washing
| of cotton gowns abroad is very good
but costly, especially at the fashion
