THE SUMMER GIRL.
That Adorable Divinity in White Muslin
with Us Once Again.

The time for the summer girl is at hand.
| mean the girl who snaps her fingers at
satins, and disdains to put on silks. The
one who doesn't try to rob the birds of
their plumage to put on her hat, until she
looks like the show window of millinery
store. | mean the girl who believes in
white and in the lawns that look like what
Mr.. Bulwer calls the pavillOns of the sky
in other words clouds. There are girls
who are afraid to put on this attire outside
of their own homes. They look well
enough there, but are too careful when
they go out on the street. The summer
girl as a rule, is pretty, independent and
charming sort of creature. A white dress
or something equally as cool in appearance,
with ribbon around the waist and silk
mits-half-handers, l think the call them
and d chip hat of some sort with just
enough trimming on it to look like sam
Pile a parasol that is light and airy-these
are articles which the summer girl delights
in and is not afraid to wear. Such girl
makes man feel cool. She gets the seat
in the car She is asked to have two dishes
of ice cream where the girl in the silk and
a wrap is never asked TO have one. She
gets the bargains at the counters, and sine
will win the money at the races this week.
The summer girl is not as many as she
ought to be- But wherever she is she is
attractive and adorable. And it was just
this sort of q girl which prompted poet
to write
on nothing fairer upon the earth
The sun or the moon looks down;
She's a. sweet and fresh as the morning bree re.
The girl in the muslin gown.

SHOES, SLIPPERS, TENNIS SHOES.

Evening slippers made from Suede leath-
er are a fashionable form of pleasant foot
wear. Portuguese woman and ladies OF
high degree who still cling TO the most
national costumes often wear these undress-
ed leather slippers and boots
The slippers are much like ours; the
boots are more like lady's riding boot.
The high top is soft and loose fitting,
turned back on itself; the heels high and of
yellow wood, and the foot, it goes, without
saying, very slender.
Sometimes the heels are wanting, the sole
being always like paper. They are very
neat, and one may add, very cheap, for a
very good pair made TO. order costs a Por-
tuguese belle about twenty cents in their
own money-sixty In ours.
Tho pretty enthusiasts who 'just love"
tennis are havingall the opportunities they
can desire to show their preferences. Not
only can they wear the unmistakable shoe,
the distinctive Tam O'Shanter and the APP
prOpriate gown, but stockings, ribbons,
pins, bracelets and dress goods can be made
to vie with each other in showing up her
favOrite racket"
Low shoes of patent leather are worn,
and with them is shown fastener that
holds the ties in position, so that tight
knot is not n necessity when laceS are pre-
ferred to buttons.

USEFUL WEAPON.
The One Way in which Ladies Can Down
the Liquor Traffic. .

The ladies in their amiable but short
sighted warfare against the demon rum,
have strangely neglected to make use OF
one valuable weapon.
What they ought TO dO-for heavens
sake, come closer, ladies, and be sure You
don't breathe a word about me in cOnnec-
ton with this affair-what You ought to
do is to take to drink yourselves.
am quite sure that after only one lady
has sauntered into the average bar-room
and said:
81 would like to look at some of your
gin cocktails, please"
And had tasted and compared, and asked
if the color was fast, and if it was all wool,
and if it would wash, and said that she
could buy the same thing at Flynn's for
ten cents, that the barkeeper would be only
too glad to go out of the business.
And after he had had experience of the
lady who wants Ito match this sample of
rye whisky" and who keeps ten men wait
ing with parched lips and in all the agony
of thirst while she matches cOlOrs and quail
tiles, and says she knows she got it here
because the says she remembers you, yOung
man, very distinctly" think he would
gladly commit suicide with one of his own
tve-cent cigars.

PLASTRONS AND VESTS.

The ''robin-redbreast" plastron is very
popular with young and slender ladies. 1t
is made of dull red silk, as nearly the color
of the robin-redbreaSts' plumage as the
shade can be found and is allowed to fall
full behind the waist.
Bright colors, such as blue, violet and
red, are used to trim white dresses and
plastrOns. Panels and white lappels are
used on all the most stylish costumes of
white wooden material
Muslin dresses for young girls are some
times made very prettily with a finely
pleated plastrOn and skirt front; the rest of
the bodice is plain, and the back and sides
of the skirt are deposed in large pleats A
wide sash is passed round the waist and tied
at the back in bow, with loops and ends
Printed muslins, however, are not as pOpu-
lar in Paris as lawns, cambrics, or even
tOae de J'ichy, or the gner cotton fabric call
ed tOiie zephir.
Pretty vests of linen are heavily embroid-
cred; these are much worn with both wool
and cotton costumes this season.

What God Does With the Pennies.


"What queer notions children do get
into their heads" said aububanite last
evening. This morning my little five
year-Old girl attended Sunday School for
the first time, and she came home full OF
the idea that she must take some pennies
with her next Sunday.
"'No more pennies for candy, papa, she
exclaimed; they must all be saved for the
Sunday school,
"'And what do they do with the pennies
at Sunday schOol?'
ooh, the send them up to God
"'And what does God do with them?'
"'Oh, she said, after n moments hesi-
taton he throws them down again to see
helittle children scramble fort them. That's
the way he has fun. >"

n Drleh Sketcn vi the Lazy vi the w hlte
House.
June 2, 1886, gave President Cleveland
beautiful bride, and America lady to
preside over the first home in the land.
The White House at Washington is that
one of American residences the most open
to representatives of foreign countries, the
seat OF the nations Inequalities, and the
centre of society in the capital of the coun-
| try. The lady at its head occupies po-
sition OF conspicuous responsibility. Mrs.
Cleveland succeeds along list of worthy and
accomplished women who have faithfully
performed the trust they undertook Her
estimable qualities and antecedents give
the assurance that she will as wOrthily as
they ill the distinguished part to which
she is called as wife of the President.
Mrs. Cleveland, whose maiden name was
| Francis c. Folsom, is now about twenty
three years of age. She is native of Buff
| falo, New York. Her father, for long
time partner with Mr. Cleveland in the
practice OF the law, was KILLED by fall
from his buggy in 1915, when she was
eleven years old. Four Years after this sad
event, she made her first appearance in
pvblic at the Authors Carnival, Buffalo,
dressed as Highland lassie. She was a
tirst-prize winner on this initial occasion,
triumph prophetic of many social sue
cesses won by her beauty and amiable quail
tiles since that time
Her preliminary education was received
while she was under the roof of an uncle
at RansOmville, her accomplished mother
being her teacher. When she was about
| fifteen years old she passed the Regent S
examination, Buffalo. The next two years
were spent in the Central High School OF
that city, and the four years subsequent
to these in Wells College, Aurora, where
! she was graduated i'll 1885.
Her recent trip to Europe in company
with her mother and cousin, her return
and marriage to the Chief Magistrate OF
the Republic, are known to every reader.
1t is understood that by the death of her
grandfather, which took place recently,
Mrs Cleveland inherits considerable for
tune. The death of this esteemen relative
had the effect of fastening the wedding at
the White House, and of abating the in
tended splendors of its celebration.
Mrs. Cleveland possesses great personal
charms, as well rs the culture of the per
feet lady. The highest social success of the
past at the White House will be equalled,
if not surpassed, under the sweet sover-
eighty of its new queen.

matrimonial PHILOSOPHY.
Bill Apps Ideas In Connection with Ger
tain Family birthdays.


We are having some birthdays now, for
Mrs. Arp and are both June bugs. That
is to say, am bug and she is n butterfly,
reckon. ] won't call her bug though
she does june around sometimes when
things 90 wrong. She had birth day last
week, and would tell how old she is if |
was sure she would never be widow. She
thinks would marry again at the drop Of
hat, but declares that she wouldn't, and
says something about burnt child dread
ing the fire. But she doesn't mean that,
know, and the honest reason is that she IL
afraid she could never find another man
like me. 1t would take her a long time to
train another Teller and get him up to any
standard of uxoral dOcility. A young man
will train, but one over 30 won't train
worth cent, and that is the reason why
it is so dangerous for girl Of ambition to
marry an old young man or widower.
The training is on the other side then, and
she had Just rs well surrender to the in
evitable.
We had the birthday and gathered all
the children but one. There were nine Of
them here and some grandchildren and
some friends and we had good time. ]
saluted Mrs. Arp oil her cheek soon in the
morning. She always turns her cheek to
me now, but didn't use TO by no means. |
made up her bed for her and swept the
room and flew around amazing. We had
music and played cards and went a-fishing
and eat spring chickens and hucklcberry
pie and talked and the boys said smart
things and told of exploits and escapes and
their mothers and sisters thought they
were the smartest boys in the world. fla
boy sneezes his mother thinks it is smart.
Mrs. Arp thinks her boys are an improve
ment on the old man, but my ambition is
for the girls to be rs smart as their mother.
There is no room for improvement on that
line Not long ago | went off and was
gone month. When | came back had
a warm welcome and everything was calm
and serene. / played king and autocrat
for two or three days, and strutted around
with the same consequential airs ! had
worn over in Carolina. But they don't last
long at my house, and now am in my
normal state of sweet humility. A man
must 90 away from home 10 put on airs.
In fact it is q good idea for the women 10
90 too sometimes just for q change. Folks
get sOrter common to one another from
continuous presence. Absence may con-
quer young love, but it refroshes the old.

GLOVES AND MTIrs A la MODE.

Fashion DEGREES but small choice between
the wearing of finished and undreSSed kid
gloves, the demand being about equal for
each.
Light and dark tan are the favOrite col
OTIS, although chamois, brown and gray
shades are also used.
For evening wear putty and pearl shades
are preferred, while cream and chalk white
are used for full dress.
Color in gloves match the cloths Tor tailor
made suits and black kid gloves are worn
with white dresses. For deep mourning
black undreSsed kid is favored, although
finished kid is used
Gloves are quite as long as last season,
from eight to twelve buttons being the de-
sirable number, although six button gloves
are in good demand for general wear.
The long and elegantly fitting Jersey silk
mitts are established in public favor, out
rivaling the melted mittS rs giving more
protection to the hands and wrists from the
sun. Some of the qualities are excessively
fine and soft. The colorS, in addition to
black, match the walking dress, also the
evening shades, Ornamented with lace nib
bon and dainty little taSSels.
There is very little difference in the new
silk net mitts and those worn several years
ago. The favorite Mousquetaire gloves re-
appear in accordance with the demand,
with the quality, if possible, superior.

Who does not rejoice in her? She Is
round and jolly, two dlmples in her cheeks
and has laugh as musical As a bObOlink's
song. She wears nicely fitted dresses, and
becoming little ornaments about her throat
and captivating knots and bows She goes
to concerts, parties, lectures and matinees,
and she doesn't go alone. She carries a
dainty parasOl, and wears killing bOnnets,
and has live poets and philosophers in her
train. In fact, the modern old maid is as
good as the modern young maid; she has
sense and conversation as well a. dimples
and curves, and she has hank book and
dividend, And the men like her-and

Girls Who Whistle for Their Dogs.

The unasSailable girls of Fifth avenue
have a new feat of audacity in promenade
manners. They whistle for their dogs.
The fashion was to lead their pets by fanci-
full strings, or be led by them, but now the
belle who desires to keep little ahead of
the general procession in stylishness lets
her dog 90 loose. Then if he wanders of,
she stops still, lifts her pretty head high,
purses her lips bewitchingly and emits
clear musical whistle. Each girl has
special call understood by her dog, and this
amounts, in some instances, to bar Of
music from some opera.

What Cheered an Unromantlo Warrior.

81 can see in memory beautiful young
city-bred lady, who had married poor
second lieutenant and followed him TO his
post on the plains whose quarters were in
dug-Out, ten feet by about fifteen, seven
feet high, with dirt roof; four feet Of the
walls were of the natural earth, the other
three of sod. with holes for windows and
corn-sacks for curtains. This little lady
had her Saratoga trunk, which was the
chief article of furniture, yet, by means Of
rug on the ground floor, few candle
boxes covered with red cotton calico for
seats, table improyised out Of barrel
head and fireplace and chimney excaya-
ted in the back wall or hank. she had trans
formed her hole in the ground into most
attractive home for her young warrior
husband, and she entertained me with 4
supper consisting of the best Of coffee, fried
ham, cakes and jellies nom the commlssary,
which made on my mind an impression
more lasting than have any one Of the
hundreds of magnificent banquets ! have
since attended in the palaces and mansions
