MlpsUMMtR TOILETS.


Exquisite Draperies For silk, Lawn, Lace
and Other Charming Gowns.
Marvels OF delicaey are the exquis to
araperies OF crept DE- Chine and silk which
are the favorite evening toilets OF the
watering place belle.
Ribbon-strlped crpes are draped over
India silk foundation skirts in the less
elaborate, most artistic ways, and edged
st the bottom with finger wide Alencon,
Oriental or Chantilly laces while
the waists are sculpturesque drap-
Ings OF crepe over smooth fitting founda-
tons OF silk. Transparent sleeves or
no sleeves are popular, unfortunately
even with those whose arms do not
always Justify their absense OF covering;
but even the dress.est of toilets may be
made with half-long sleeves. and waist
drap ry drawn up full around the
throat
With the warmest days the usual
summer fancy for all-black and all
white toilets crop out, and lovely mist
like gowns OF white tulle and shadowy
robes OF black drapery net are brought
out Some OF the prottiest are tufted
with flowers, and white and pink daisies
on black net are favnrite decoration.
Other flowers are white hyacinths, and
pink and white orchids on white are
charming.

much, and q pretty way OF disposing
them to advantage Is To place them un-

THE STYLE or TO-DAY.
Never Were Women q ssssd More Ad.
uilrabIy Than at Present.

.
The present tendency of fashion
toward naturalness in form and design
may be accepted, at least for the pres
ent, as strong and absolute, nor does IL
seem likely, with the taste for art"
and the general knowledge which the
masses are gaining correctness In style
and outline that the wheel OF time will
ever in its ceaseless revolutions bring
back the immense expansion OF hoops
or the frightful deformity of the bustle.
Where fashion takes such hold of its
followers thateit deseends to the most
minute details, reIolutionizing under
wear, and adapting every separate
article OF costume TO one idea, then we
certainly have reason to hope that IL is
destined TO a more or less continued ex-
lstonce. For then the great business and
mercantile interests becomeinyolyed in
Its permanent acceptance. machinery
employed in supplying great demands is
modified in accordance with the new
regulations. and such ponderous bodies
can only be moved at certain intervals.
The entire catalogue of women's gar
ments has gradually undergone this
transformation. A few years ago yards

articles of underwear which effectually

BOBBY ON "JoMMETRY.



Jommctry is study witch treats-an
a mighty dry treat 1t is-of diyidin up
surfaces. On the first page is axnms. A
axum is thing you can guess without
askin, or see without lookin, as. ele-
funt is bigger than a rat Only they
don't have any animals in jommetry,
and that's why it's so stupid. Ono OF
the easiest axums 70 remember is-"A
strate line IL the shorts distance be-
tween two points"
This is pretty true. but 1t depends on
how the wallxin' is and on what lays be-
tween the two points.
There Is two kinds uf Jommetry-
plain and solid. Plain iommetry Is any
thing but plain; but solid jommetry is
orfully solid.
Figgers come next. They have sides
and angles, like old maids. A square is
a figger with four ekal sides and four
ekal angles. The angles are called
right angles, because you generally
make them wrong.
A triangle has three sides, and comes
to point. always come to the point

for me with her slipper, or her hair
brush, whichever is handiest.
After awhile you learn theeorems.
You draw lines, drop perpendiculars,
and all that. Every thing is A. b, c.
and d. f. f. One of the first you learn
is that strate line drawn through two
parallel lines cuts them at the same
angle.
II looks easy, but it's no fool of a jot
to prove it. BY and by you learn about
+ the square on the hippopotamns of the
i right angled triangle, otherwise known
as the pawns as honorum. Them last
+ three words is Latin.l
Solid jommetry is more interestin thar
plain jommetry. II is fun to make cube:

thing TO keep flies in. | see Billy Adami

THE RABBITS WIFE.
A Story from the TaImud Unsurpassed
for Genuine Tenderness.

for Genuine Tenderness.
When a Campanian lady on one occa-
sion visited Cornelia, tho mother OF
Gracchi, she displayed her jewels osten-
tatiously and asked Cornelia TO favor
her with sight of her own. Cornelia
thereupon produced her two sons, re-
marking; Those are the only jewels
OF which can make my boast" Nohly
said, indeed. and worthy OF the immor-
tality which is Cornelia's portion. But
a story in the Talmnd has tenderness
In 1t which might have wooed Boccaccio's
pen. During the absence from his homo
OF Rabbi Meir, named the Light of the
Law, two Of his sons departed 10 the
spiritual world. On the return of the
rabbi his wife greeted him with q
pleasant countenance, and then said:
"My husband, some time since there
were two jewels placed in my keep
ing - Jewels beautiful, and costly
beyond all price. And to-day, in
your absence, the owner of the
Jewels came to me- and have returned
them into his possession" To which
the rabbi replied that his wife had done
we'll, adding that I'VE must always give
Z DAck Win lalLuiuihtSS anu NlsdIiui-
ness whatever is placed in our charge"
After little time the Light of the
Law asked for his sons, whereupon the
mother took him by tho hand and
gently led him into the chamber OF
silence, wherein his soLs lay dead. Tho
rabbi gazed upon them. and his great
heart gave way, for he loved his sons
better than his own life, and in Israel
sons are a treasure beyond all other
treasures indeed treasure recognized
as given by benignant Heaven and tho
light OF his hopes was extinguished in
the darkness oi despair, and he lifted
up his voice and wept bitterly. Upon
this his wife meekly said: Weep not
thus, my beloved husband. Didst thou
not say 70 me, even just now, that we
must return with cheerfulness what
ever Is placed in our eharge-when il is
called for? These jewels were given
