get in the rear of the union lines at the
time that Pickett began his famous charge
on the front at Cemetery Ridge. Ii is con-
ceded that the success Of the ,valry had a
momentous influence on the fortunes OF the
day. The h storic charge OF the First

among the most renowned Of calvary en-
counters took place upon this farm. The
monument marks the spot from which tie

graceful in its proportions, representing the
four regiments of he brigaue by columns,

spected, many OF the Michigan monuments
crowned with wreaths, particularly that of

Cuban Families at SARATOGA,

Many of theee bruuettes are Cubans,
and the Everett House 10 the Saratoga
Headquarters of these. They may be
readily told elsewhere by their large
black eyes, white teeth and shining
raven hair. Tb sse Cuban families arrive
in June direct from their Island home,
and they stay we'll into September, if the
weather keeps steadily fine, as at pres
emit. They are for the most part families
of tobacco planters and tobacco manu-
facturers. Of late years they have been
complaining of hard times, through
political troubles, but they are as
free with their money as any class COM
ing to Saratoga. Occasionally million
ARE Cuban family will stop at the Union
or States, and spend about $4,000 during
the season. Millionaires are very rare in
Cuba, though. The Cuban man admires
Yankee women, and marriages between
such are not uncommon. l noted the
Countess Pouvert, OF Havana, at Con-
press Hall hop last week. She WAS once
q Lowell factory girl. When the Cubans
do leave Saratoga-always by drawing
room cars-they stop in New York city
several weeks, masking purchases OF
novelties and dress goods, having dresses
made and taking in the sights and
amusements of the metropolis. They
are very desirable class of visitors, al
though greatly given to focking by them
selves, are very polite, neat and good
looking, and spend their money like
princes" without continually grumbline
and Checking" like too many who come
to Saratoga. South Americans are very
similar to Cubans in most respects, but
there is not so large proportion Of
handsome women among them.-TS Sara

How 10 Rest sensibIy.

How few people in this world know
how to rest There is little provision
made to relieve the strain Of life in travel
or hotels. see the tired women leave
heated towns for an outing by excursion
boats or trains, where the crowd and vile
air reduces what little strength they
start with. Arrived, their only resource
is seat on the backless benches of q
summer garden, or the chairs OF hotel
piazza, where they sit or parade, lunch
ing indigestihly till it is time
to return. If these women and
children could follow the example of
boys and fling themselves at length on
the sward, the rest would be ten times
as refreshing. Better still, if the Shaker
chairs on piazzas were provided with the
new leg rests, which allow one decor
ously to assume a reclining posture.
The one idea of popular summer re-
sorts should be to give tired people the
best chance for change and rest, to re-
cruit for the rest OF their years poison
ing in the city. Easy chairs: footrests,
hammocks, simple dress, wholesome
fare, and general license to be comfort
able should be the rule Of such resorts. A
little rest, little relief counts so much in
this modern life which keeps one on the
strain. And then it is easy to take some
of these good things home with one. The
flannel shirt and the tennis sash will ap-
pear in the parks and on piszzas in town,
and the boating dress, or the Tuxedo is
TOO comfortable not to be affectionately
worn whenever excuses can be made for it..
The steamer chair, the Japanese lounge,
or the splint chair and footrests will be
applied to when fatigue besets one, and
the light, clean, healthy fashions of the
seaside be grated on the prim way OF
the town.
The sailor blouse and Tuxedo dress
first taught women that they could really
dispense with tight corset and yet be
picturesque. If the Venus of the water
chose a gown of modern fashion it would,
I think, be draped Tuxedo, which one
can transform into two or three different
styles at pleasure. For instance, it is
easy to fasten tue skirt over the sailor
blouse and have trim, belted waist.
Or q surah front may be gathered
over it, and the empire sash
girdle the fullness. The skirt
raised a little on one side
over the striped shirt, is really Greek,
although the barred panel on the right
could be dispensed with. 1t is 80 warm,
clinging, easy, and stands such hard
wear that it is of all others the dress for
outings, for prairie walks and mountain
scrambles, gardening and hard usage
generally. It is the sanitary dress,
above all others, made of elastic, all.
wool Jersey stuff, delightful for cool
autumn wear.-[Shirley Dare.
