the Indifference manifested In the posi-

pie go on building the little one-story
shanty in the rear of handsome
houses and seem to ignore the fact that
it is an unsightly excrescence and place
of torture.
If there is any distinction in apart
ments preference should be given the
kitchen, an apartment from which
emanates comfort, or the lack of it, for
an entire family.
In the present uuorganiZed state of
domestic service it often happens that
the ladies of family are compelled to
be the cooks for longer or shorter terms,
and in that case the necessity for a COM
Portable apartment is doubly imperative.

Recamier affected mincing and langour,
and the poets of that era chanted the
praise of the "lily girl A marked
change has taken place, change it is
hoped due to the good sense of mothers
who, realizing the importan 8 of sound
physical development, have imbued
their daughters with desire to possess
that beauty which only accompanies
good health. The study of physiology in
schools and a better knowledge of the
fashion, so often abused, has the
larger share in this welcome
change. Who originated the
mode that demands ruddiness and
robustness may not be known but
that one is benefactor and well de-
serves a hearty seconding in the schools
and homes of this generation. This
training in new ideas has reached the
men, who boldly eschew Byronic nom
sense and openly admire the muscular
young woman who can row a boat,
SWING racket and run q race. Neither
do they object to seeing a cherry-llpped
beauty sit down and eat beef STEAK with
a relish, and are sure to be pleased il she
is good judge of its quality. To be an
adept in bread making Is now nigh art
and there is no objection felt or offered
to seeing a girl enjoy the labor of her
hands. As il has been eyer since
the world began that women have de-
sired men g admiration. so long as they
look with ( vor on q feminine appetite
for substantials. there is little doubt that
mothers and their daughters will go on
oultivating bright eyes, red cheeks, well
developed chests and hard muscles.
To accomplish this it is not absolutely
essential to have rowing parties and ten
mis- matches. These are pleasant recrea-
lions not always in reach, but home and
its duties is most excellent field for the
development of womanly traits, and
broom and busting brush, rake and hoe
are admirable tools for fashioning q
maiden for the future she anticipates.
Long may the vigor of youth and the
glow of health be fashionable, and the
generation coming be spared the ills that
follow any departure from the laws or
dained for woman . well being.

The Kitchen.

A drive around the city of Fort Worth
cannot fail to impress any one with the
idea that this is city Of home builders.
An observant person will also discover
that these builders are oblivious of the
comfort of cooks. Now If, as the poet
asserts, the one thing Indispensable to
mans contentment is cook. then would
IL not be sound policy TO provide for the
comfort, if not for the long life of SO inn

NOTES.
The earnation is thegfavorite flower for
the button hole.
The newest jerseys haveS trimming
around the armholes.
All net wells are worn to the edge of the
chin and travelling wells must be still
| longer.
There is one thing fully decided as to
| autumn fashions. BasQues are to be
longer.
The most usual trimmings on net
dresses are fiat bows of ribbons, which
are often arranged in rows to form
panels.
Black stockings are still worn with
walking boots and dark dresses, but for
wear with light toilets there is a fascinat-
ing variety of stocking to match the color
of the gown.
The newest wrinkle in parasols is one
which conceals in its curved handle the
ever useful glove buttoner and powder
puff. They are within q box which
opens with tiny spring.
The MEETINGS and lace for dress drapery
comes in the new escurial patterns, and
the latest surah is laee-striped, fire.
quently made over colors, the open lace,
like drawn work, being very effective.
Jackets. as rule, are longer than
those worn for some time past. Novel
features are rows of small buttons up the
inner seam of the sleeve to the elbow,
and buttons for closing used with hooks.
A fancy bodice is made of coral pink
mousseline de laine, ornamented with
rows of threaded pale blue ribbon. The
ribbon also forms the shoulder knots as
well as the bows on the sleeves and
waist.
Notwithstanding the lavish and mag
niticent array of colored bead trimmings
mixed with silk cork or intermingled
with gold, silver or copper, out jet gar
nitures are far too tempting to be passed
over.
Among the imported dresses not few
have the bodice cut to show the throat IN
walking or afternoon costumes which can
properly be worn in the street. A band
OF wide gimp often supplies the lack of
collar, this band lying upon the corsage
and not standing upright in the usual
military fashion.
Useful tea-gowns are in black or
flashes of roses' nuns yelling, with
full flowing fronts of surah and soft
black lace. Black lace over pink-hers
the piece lace comes in very well-made
the front, the high MedicI collar and the
backs of the leg of mutton sleeves. Black
and rose colored ribbons crossed in front
and fell in long ends.
The blush tinge in white corded silk Is
very fashionably chosen this summer for
evening dresses. A beautiful ball gown
had full ruchings of the silk around the
foot. The low bodice was pleated in at
the neck and waist, and soft silk mus
lin sash of the same tint as the dress
went twice around the waist and ended
in two loops, without ends, at the left
side..
Velvet ribbon in white and every light
shade is quite feature OF the season.

CONGRESSIONAL SINGERS.
4 Number Of Fine Voices in the National
House Of Representatives.


Correspondence Of the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-There are
quite a number of good singers in the
present house. Those who are best known
for their vocal powers are Butterworth Of
Ohio, Coleman OF Louisiana, Quinn OF
New York, Henderson of Iowa, Craig OF
Pennsylvania and Boutelle Of Mains.
Butterworth is at his best in Morisrity,
and can sing songs in which humor Is
blended with pathos. Coleman could
double his congressional salary as min
strel. He can sing plantation songs as
well as Lew Dookstader or HugheY
Dougherty. Quinn of New York knows
any number of Irish and Scotch songs
and can sing them well. Henderson
rather inclinss to patriotic ballads.
Craig prefers army songs or ballads re-
citing warlike deeds, while Boutells
knows sailor chornses innumerable.

Appreciative People.

Rev. r. +. Bumpass, pastor. Of
Main Street Church, Durham, wrote
to the Raleigh "Christian Advocate"
Hast week as follows: .
.."There comes much sunshine in-
toa Methodist preachers home, as
ne receives expressions Of the con-
tidsnce and affection of his people.
1t has been my happy fortune to
serve many kind and appreciative
congregations Indeed, / have new

there were not many who exhibited
every token Of their affection and
appreciation. As memory runs back
over an itinerant ministry Of eigh-
teen years, many faces come up
from each of the charges, it has
been my privilege to serve, that
are very dear, because Of the rela-
tions of the past, the recollection of
whose names is as the aroma Of pre-
elous ointments poured forth.
But must say that it has never
been my good fortune to serve a
kinder or a more appreciative peo-
pie than the people Of Main Street
Church, Durham. They have dis
played every mark of love and ap-
probation. During the Christmas
holidays, they gave us a liberal
pounding, the report ofwhich never
! found its way into the papers,
besides many other delicate atten-
tions. And then, that we might be
more comfortably housed, the off,
'ial board made the purchase of

garden, lot, and all essential con-
ieniences. They had the house
thoroughly renovated within and
without, before moving us into it,

We live in a perfect little gem of a

pOlitau hotel he met the night clerk,
Peter, who has been there for the last
twenty years, and who remembered
him when he boarded thers,. q wild
dissipated clerk Of q southern con.

come an altered man, and was sorry
for the annoyance he used TO cause
him, and was now trying TO atone for
his former sins by working for bis
Heavenly Father. Peter was glad 10
see him, but told him he hoped he
would not give the Lord az much
trouble as he had given him.
