There is desperate fight between Mrs
Dalton and Dolly before the latter can be
persuaded to copy and forward what she
considets heartless and tiippant missiye.
In the end Marian triumphs. Mr.. Lascelles
+,
though her soul quakes within her. laughs
and talks to Dick.
Later in the morning, when they were
playing lawn tennis, Clement Lascelles,
feeling much smaller than he has ever
done In his live, seeks counsel from Mrs,
Dalton. With an angelic smile, she alter
nately pricks him with daggers and makes
him gulp down bowls of poison; but she
does him an excellent turn by taking a
good deal of the nonsense out of him. He
confesses that he adores Dolly. How, oh,
how, is he to win her? Has he the ghost
of chance?
Mrs. Dalton, looking solemn, declares
her inability to reply to this. She hints
at Dolly's youth and love of amusement.
She hints, too at Dicks unfagging good
spirits and temper. And the upshot of it
is that when Dick returns crestfallen from
his afternoon ride with Dolly, having
spoken and received his answer, Clement
Lascelles carries off the young lady to hel
boudoir on pretense of wanting to IL
shown something, and replacing the mel
ancholy of Hamlet by the conquering all
of young Lovelace, takes her in his arms,
swears he has been fool and has never
really loved anyone but her sweet self,
and that if she accept him her life shall
be one round of pleasure.
Twenty minutes later, Dolly has passed
on all his embraces and more to Marian.
How clever you are, darling!" she
says, admiringly.
To which Mrs. Dalton replies, Now
you know how to manage him, make
good use of your knowledge. "-London

FOR THE LADIES.
Matters Grave and Gay in Which Our
Fair Readers Take en- Especial
Interest
4 Couple Of Columns Prepared Solely
fer Their Instruction aud
EdifleatioH.

Summer toilets are, ~ course, the
topmost fashion topic. Most % July
usually passes before the styles of dress
at the resorts become definitely fixed.
Various experiments are tried in the
way of radical departures early in the
season, and the majority prove a fail
ure; but by the time August arrives
everything is settled; and women know
what they want to wear. 1t is true
enough that the important dresses are
made beforehand and taken away on
summer outings, but in the way of
cheaper gowns, and especially of those
embellishments which are Shower than
the garments themselves, there is
great deal of uncertainty for awhile.
This first picture illustrates the point
which l seek to make. The sketch was
made at Saturday night ball at the
seashore. The bodice and back por-
ton Of the skirt was composed of vel
vet, and was made some time in May or
June. But the front half of the dra-
perry was bright scarlet, and had been
put into place within week, after the
wearer had seen that flaming colors were
in vogue. No Season in decade has
developed so much famboyahey, of gay
coloring as has this summer of 1888.
Nothing too odd in shape or brilliant
in hue can be worn. A group of fash
ionably dressed women is apt to pre-
sent an incongruous and artistically Of
fensive collection of inharmonious
colors. Each member of the party
gazes solicitously around her, to see
whether her own particular section of
rainbow is outshone by another, and if
she is so fortunate as to. be safe from
having her gown killed" her anxiety
turns to the question whether the next
arrival will or will not commit upon
her that form of color homicide. Pa
triotism seems to hold its own, how
ever, in these scenes of Kaleidoscope
costuming, for red, white, and blue
prevail. Complete gowns of each of
those colors are seen alongside those
iped in blue and white or red and
white, but there is plenty of the grassi-
est green, the strongest of purple, and
the most aggressive of yellows. All

LITTLE BOY BLUE.

The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and staneh he athhds,
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his utusket molds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier passing fair,
And there was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed thetn and put them there.
Now, don't you go till COME he said
And don't you make any hbiscs
So toddling off 70 his tfundle bed
He dreamed OF the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming, an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Ay, faithful to Lite Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of n little hand,
The smile of a little face
And they wond5r, as waiting these long years
through,
In the dust of that little chair
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there

WHEN Claus Spreckels announced
that he would fight the great sugar
trust single-handed every one prophe-
sled that he would soon come to grief
in spite of his millions, says a recent
San Francisco telegram. Now the
first victory for Spreckels in the fight
must be recorded. When the trust was
formed the officers began to corner re-
fined sugars, and even to squeeze the
raw product. They pinched the pro-
ducer as we'll as the consumer. The
result of this was that they doomed
the raw article, but caused hand-to-
mouth buying of the refined product.
Spreckels quietly bought all the raw
sugar he could. Now the refiners find
that they have largely oversold refined
sugars; that the raw product is beyond
their reach, and they are obliged to
send to Europe for raw material, and
refuse to make any prices on refined
sugars. There has been an advance
of II cents in refined sugar within the
last six weeks. OF course this ad-
vance is largely due due to the concen-
tration of the raw product and the
consequent inability of the trust to
secure raw material for their refineries.
Some time ago Spreckels contracted
tor 10000 tons of raw sugar from
Manila, and on this transaction alone,
at the present rates, lie can realize $40
per ton. or 100000 in the aggregate.

1t is estimated by old hands at the
business that an ordinary Presidential
election one way and another costs the
country $20,0O0,000 in legitimate ex-
penses, while as to the cost of the iile-
gitimate expenses no attempt is made to
estimate it. Mayor Hewitt says ma.
tional committee, working economi-
cally, can run Il Presidential campaign
for $500, 00O." Colonel Ingcrsoll doubles
these figures, and admits that they
should probably be quadrupled. These
estimates leave a large surplus to be
made up by State and local committees.
There can he no doubt that great sums
are thrown away AMI that everything
that is necessary 10 be done can be done
with less money than is ordinarily spent.

production OF queer shapes th.lt the halr
dressing is like the costIming. but can
dor compeis the assertion that IN COZ
ors, too our bellies are reckLsssly 1901
ing with their hair. When shall we
leave our unfortunate hair alone, 1
wonder? A season or two ago we had
n red craze on and foolish wonSeu. DIS
contented with the natural shade OF their
locks, rushed off to fashionable cor
feurs to be bleached and then dyed 70
the particular hue of scarlet then IN
vogue. The golden period which pre-
coded this has quite passed away. The
brunette traidens appear to be having
much the best of it in the matrimonial
market, and it would seem that this sta
tistical revelation has produced an effect,
for chestnut hair is to be the fashion
able shade this season. People with
that peculiar, dingy-colored hair that IS
neither fair nor dark nor brown, are
apt to describe it as chataigne, but L
need hardly say that the hue III vogue
ut present is decided bright brown,
which is produced by the combination
of two acids put on at intervals-a pro-
cess not calculated to improve the hair
or the skin. The attempts to produce
artifciallv Just the desired shade of
sorrel seldom result successfully, and
that is why we have more colorS of halr
Just now than nature ever dreamed or.
1t is easy enough at one bleachlEs to
turn dark brown halr into bright
auburn, but there must be subsequent
and regular applications of the chem

clear down to the roots, and the sue
cessive treatments inevitably turn the
hair lighter and lighter, until the stage
of bright yellow is reached. Then the
unfortunate victim of foolishness must
either dye her hair dark again, or else
have it cropped close and resort to
wig until it grows out again.
Forgiveness is easy as to those ex-
travagant dressorS who are under ten
years old. Children cannot be too
picturesque in raiment, unless the
splendors of their gar1 ae such as 10

youngsters, and especially when the
cut of their garments is contrastingly
simple. And yet, condemn the cxtrav-
agance of ideas in adult adornment as
we may, there is no withholding of adj
miration for the ingenuity sometimes
shown. For instance, the latest ban
giles take the form of thin silver wire
hoops and single bands of either gold
or silver from which depend one of the
signs of the Zodiac. The number of
