WHY THE COWS COME LATE.
Crimson sunset burning

Golden are the meadows.

Crimson sunset burning
Der the tree-fringed hills;
Golden are the meadows,
Ruby flashed the rills,
Quiet in the farm house,
Home the farmer HES,
But his wife is watching,
shading anxious eyes,
While she fingers with her pail beside the
barnvard gate,
Wondering why her Jenny and the cows
come nome so late.
Jenny. brown-eyed maiden,
Wandered down the lane;
That was e'er the daylight
Had begun to wane.
Deeper grow the shadows;
Circling swallows cheep;
Katydids are calling;
Mists DER meadows creep.
Still the mother shades her eyes beside the
barnyard gate,
And wonders where her Jenny and the COWS
can be so late.
Lowing sounds are falling,
HomeWard now at last;
Speckle, Bess and Brindle
Through the gate have passed.
Jenny, sweetly blushing,
Jamie grave and shy,
Takes the pals from mother,
Who stands silent by.
Not one word is spoken as that mother shuts
the gate,
But now she knows why Jenny and the COWS
came home SO late.

Special Letter to the Globe.
New YORK, July 24.-Among the
many events of the fashionable season
there are hardly any more Important
and more eagerly anticipated than the
great races in the summer. In Paris it
is the Grand Prix which men and
women alike look forward to, while
across the channel Ascot week sets
hearts a fiuttering with the hope of gain
or conquest, and sends all the smart
people of society out to the race tracks.
There it is that cottages are rented,
begged and borrowed, house parties
made up, and for weeks and weeks be-
forehand modistes and tailorS are busy
inventing and bringing into being the
most marvellous and dashing toiletteSs
for the important occasion.
Redfern, of course, is one OF the busl-
est OF the firms thus occupied, and his
racing costumes are as striklngly sue
cessfuI as his world-famous yachting
gowns. without which even royalty IS
unsatistied.
Our first sketch gives ali idea of one
of these gowns which was worn at the
Ascot meeting.

Hard ON Pianos and Florida Water

Nine. Lillion Nordica, the gifted mu-
sician, uses up a piano and gallon of
scented water every month. She is a
hard-worker. home-lover and an anti
athlete, never walking any further than
the carriage step. She gets all the
fresh air possible from open windows,
hammocks and surf chairs, but does not
believe in wasting her strength walk
ing. Vocal exercise keeps her lungs in
order, and when not singing she keeps
as quiet as possible.

seem TO be preferred, but great many
pairs are made out of morocco with kid

narrow lines of dark turquoise blue and

lust above the bust line, thus giving a
yoke effect to the upper part, is width
of pongee in its natural color, which is
closely shirred to cover the bust
and is then drawn across and fas-
tened in point over the left
hip. Another width is draped across
just below the waist, passes under a
large enamel buckle on the hip and
hangs like a sash to the foot of the
skirt. The sleeves are of the pongee, in
the close coat shape, and have cuffs of
the plaid silk, with rows of small but
tons enameled in blue and scarlet on a
silver foundation like the buckle. The

TOP Boots for Women.

Interview with St. Louis Dealer.
Among the latest of fadS recently in
troduced in this city is the wearing of
top boots by society bellies. The idea
originated in Spain, whence it readily
spread to France. Of course its adop-
tien by the French at once brought it
into prominence, and it is now consid-
cred the proper thing for driving in
lphaetons and other carriages where
ladies are supposed to occupy high seats.
The boots are very light in weight;

pliqued panels of striped satin surah
around the foot of the skirt. They are
in bronze-brown, with narrow diagonal
lines of light blue and maize color, and a

in gold braid. The bodice is full vest
of maize-colored China crepe. confined
by corset girdle of silk and braid; over
this is an open Jacket of the cashmere

Another new departure in the line
of business for women has been sue
cessfuIIy made by plucky lady resid-

interior city of New York. A relative
selling out his business offered the
debts, amounting to $1,000, to the pur-
chasers for $1,000. but they declined to
take the risk. Learning of this. the
lady proposed that she should collect
them, and in less than three months she
has collected over $1,000. and has fair
prospects of yet getting at least two
thirds of the remaining $1,000. She
