personal experience what l mean by
that. Some fellows grab their partners
as though they were their wives or their
accepted SWeetheartS, and hug them
coyertly if not perceptibly to spectators.
The prince does not do that all. There
was nothing caressing in the firm but
conventional encircling of his right arm,

fatty enough to be supporting to the
small of my back. His thumb didn't

and with just grip enough to make you
feel safe, but with no pressure of i'm

Another excellent plan is to sew two
well-worn sheets together so that they
are as one. Such double sheet is eX-
cellent. for an under one, and will do
good service. Pillow cases may be
treated in the same way.
This is the season when small boys
wear big holes through the knees of
their stockings. A neat little mother
has Invented preventive for the Sc
holes which may be found of value to
other mothers. She lines the upper

small elastic bands.

ters ul Illll-blown roses, tiger lilies, mas
turtiums and tulips, and half hundred
other brilliant flowers. The dresses
combine two and three shades, and are
trimmed with gold and silver and white,
scarlet and brown; white jackets are
worn; beads of every color are made
into wraps: green and blue gloves are
in fashion: colOred shoes are the mode;
paraSolS are shown in hundred varied
tintS, and our women, when decked out
i'll full SplendOr, rival the birds of para
disc.
There is tendency to run the beauti
fal shade known as ''pearl gray" into
extinction. In almost any gathering
during the last week almost every other
gown seemed to be this shade. 1t is
especially becoming to youth, and har-
mOniZeS so well with the greens and
browns, and blues, i'll fashion, that the
feminine mind feels tempted to pur-
chase it, even though it has become
common.
The shade known as blue-gray is also
agreat fav0rite, but is not so univer-
sally becoming.
The marvellous combinations of
greens and eartll-brOwnS which one sees
i'll days walk are apt to turn tasteful
mind toward almost any other group of
color, yet when the two proper shades
of these cOlOTS are put together there is
really nothing more artistic.
Pale pink is to be one of the favorite
shades for summer wear. Exquisite
creations from Worth and Pingat i'll
rose. salmon. blush and dawn pink are
among the recent importatiOnS.
One of the prettieSt of these, intended
for an evening dress for a young girl, is
Of salmon pink crepe de Chine, made in
full drapery over a silk princess slip of
the same shade. The bodice is cut low,
| just half way between the throat and
| shoulders, and the short sleeves are
made in large puff. Both are edged
with ruffie OF soft Valenciennes lace,
which gives pretty baby look to the
| gown. and big white sash of soft silk
| passes over the hips and is tied in full
bow behind.
A humming-bird gown, which is to
deck some beauty this summer, is one
| of the novel impOrtations. The ma
terial is blue gauZe tlecked with little
| gold and silver SpangleS set against the
small rainbow feathers of the tiny bird.
| This is made in a skirt and bodice.
The former has butterfly drapery
| over an underdress of changeable
| golden silk, and the low bodice of the
silk is bordered both top and bottom
with tiny humming bird wings. the tips
all pointing one way. A fan made OF
the same feathers, tied with a large
golden silk bow, and tiny slippers to
correspond. complete the costume.
Very large hats of Leghorn and Milan
staw, trimmed with wide ribbons and
either feathers or flowers, are to be
worn this summer. The GainSbOrough
and princess shapes are both extremely
becoming to even plain faces. Pale
yellow, delecate shade of green and
the palest pink are the fayorite colors
for trimming.
ParasoIs of gauze and lace. crimped
and pleated over silk or satin and lined
with some of the lighter tints, are the
tayorites for promenade. They are so
dainty that one is tempted to think they
will lie more useful for moonlight than
sunshine. Certainly they should never
| go far from home, for slight shower
would destroy the mos costly OF them.

gentlemen present were Lawrence
Lamb, ZenO Harris, Henry Walsh and
several others.
Miss Haygood is of small stature,
compact mold. and apparently muscular
beyond most women, and weighs about
104 pounds. She has brown hair, blue
or violet eyes, and pleasant express
sion of countenance, but an air
also of tirmness and decision of
character. The first two teStS-viZ,
drawing a gentleman easily around
the room by applying her hand
to chair or umbrella held by him,
OF the third test of holding billiard
cue in her open palms at an angle of
about forty-fve degrees with such
tirmneSS that strong man, or even two
strong men, could not force the point to
the floor. was certainly remarkable in
woman so small, but might have been
accomplished by a woman of very great
physical strength.
But the next tests were different.
One of the gentlemen present was re-
quested to lift the lady by her elbows,
held taut at the waist. This he did,
but when told to try it again utterly
failed to raise her an inch. Two strong
men then raised her by holding her
elbows on each side with the greatest
ease. but on attempting it again they
could not raise her weight particle
| from the floor. This was a poser, and
! was tried several times, the party
| offering many explanations, but none
! unexplained, that she could at will
/ allow herself to be lifted as other peo-
! pie. and Immediately thereafter bringing
into play such force, without apparent
| effort, that two strong men could not
move her 100 pounds of weight, try they
| ever so hard. The next test was still
more ineXplicable. A chair was
brought - an ordinary dining-room
| chair It and gentleman weigh
ing about 130 pounds was placed
in it. Asiride of his knees an
other gentleman OF about 145 pounds
/ weight was placed, and between the
/ two a third gentleman of at least $50
| pounds was seated. All raised their
! feet from the floor as the chair was tilted
/ back and held balanced. The little lady
! then approached the back of the chair
and placed her open palms along the
/ arms or staffs supporting the chairs
! back.
Only the lady's thumbs touched the
| back of the chair. Then, without an
! effort or the contraction of a muscle. or
! the slightest pressure, the chair and its
/ living freight was raised about fourteen
J
Guiding the chair, was at least $50
pounds, and John L. Sullivan could not
have performed the feat so easily ac-
compliShed by the little woman.
| This test was convincing, but the next
was no less so. Miss Haygood stood on
one foot, and, holding billiard cue
horizontally before her at arms length,
! three strong men eSSayed in vain to
push her, throwing their combined
Strength against the cue, from her bal
ance on one foot, or press her arms back
! to her chest.
But in one respect, lat least, the modest
little lady is like other mortals. She
has woman's heart, and recently gave
her hand to the man of her choice,
Thomas l.. Embry, of Cincinnati. The
pair were quietly married by Squire j.
! j. Barry. The young husband has Ger
tainly deal of temerity to place himself
in the hands of one SO capable of enforc-
ing cOnjugal obedience, but he seemed

Customers very often furnish their own
