ever heard of is done. The girls of to-
day fish, hunt, row. bowl and play bill
iards this season. In fact, they
take hand in all the masculine
sports and amusements. 1t is a
regular case nowadays of '.Whither thou
goest will go. Thy sports shall be my
sports. What thou doest l will do"
There isn't the shadow of chance for
the modern beau to get rid of his sweet
heart, unless he feigns sickness and
goes to bed.
Russian tea is new summer drink.
1t was first indulged in by the ''dear
chappies." Their poor noddies could
not stand much, so they tried Russian
tea with bit Of lemon, and found it
nice. And really it is nice. 1t is un-
surpassed as thirst auencher. 1t
cools, refresheS and inyigOrates.
A cup of hot milk, taken in sips, will
be found all excellent substitute for
stimulants when fatigued, and has no
unpleasant after effects. Try it. 3..>
If gentlemen will wear suSpenders
they should buy plain white. They
cost from 35 cents to IS cents. and do not
fade or soil the shirt. You can afford
to renew them every two or three weeks
during the summer.
Gauze and grenadine neck scarfs are
the correct and most comfortable for
July and August.
his GIRLS SLIPPER FOR TOBACCO.
A young gentleman in this town-a
cousin of mine-has upon mis- table an
laced with ribbons, which holds his to-
bacco. / learned from him that it is
quite the fad now for the ''best beau"
to have the .'best girls" boot Or slipper
as a souvenir. If she wears larger than
twos she can buy a slipper specially.
'TiS not uncommon nowadays to see
swellish-looking snob take out small
gold comb and manipulate his mustache
with it. | have seen this done several
times lately upon the street. [ passed
a man on VeSey street last week comb
ing his silky light-brOWn muStache with
pink celiulOid comb. So now mustache
combs are within the reach of all.
Ladies' dresses made without the high
neck band are blessing such days as
Yesterday, with the thermometer up in
the ninetieS. There are few women
who look we'll in the demi-decollete
dresses, but they are nice for summer.
Brown-checked tweed. made plain,
with skirt binding, collar, cuffs, pockets
and belt of leather, are the latest in
mountain or hunting costumes for la
dies. The certainly look businesSlike.
Lace dresses, while much more COM
mon than formerly, are not as fashiOna
BILE as they were last season. The
handsomest soon become Stringy and
mussy-looking, and they are not partic-
ularly cool, for they have to be made
over silk, and consequently they are ex
pensive and unsatisfactory.

but it is also an economy. 1t costs no
and wears longer. 1t is easily laun-
dered. If made at home it costs less
than the linen. The best flush is with
briar stitch and Valenciennes.
SUMNER FLOWERS AND JEWELRY.
Two or three large flowers or sprays
of flowers, tied with ribbon of the same
shade as the flower, or of leaf-green
ribbon. are the newest things in hand
bouquets. Dried rose leaYesin light surah
silk bags are kept among the fashionable
girls underwear. 1t is a good way to
utilize the faded flowers. Sweet clover
blossoms and lavender are equally nice.
and can be had by any one who will
take the trouble to gather the blossoms,
dry them and make the bag. | have an
aunt who has dozens of these bags
among the house linens, some of them
yellow with age, but still retaining
their perfumes.
The engaged girl now wears deli
cate gold chain about the neck, with
small locket containing portrait of
her betrOthed. | was shown one of
these lockets the other day that wasn't
much larger than my thumb nail;
yet. taking magnifying glass
and looking at the miniature,
it was good likeness of a
handsome man. The artist received
5000 for his work, and the locket and
chain cost S. more This little token is
worn beneath the corSage and known
only to the finance and her intimate
friends. 1t made me wish l had a
sweetheart and a I0cket OF lOcket and
