Heb Art In lGinfnarx.

Great art is exercised in the creation
OF some OF the summer bonnets. and the
lower bonnets are triumphs Of floral
grace and beauty. The newest are of
rose-stalks, with brown leaves and
thorns intertwined, and an p-town i'm
porter is making herself famous by her
display of flower toques and bonnets
alone. No two are at all. alike, and the
customers come, see, and are conquered,
and straightway want, not one or two,
but six at least, to be at all satisfied, as
to choose single bonnet out of all that
wilderness of realistic bloom and actual
fragrance would require nothing short
OF Spartan fortitude. Tulle, velvet and
flower sprays form some of the models;
others are of leaves and vines entire;
still others show a creamy mass Of
flowers to set above the hair like crown
great Tosca roses, sprays of chestnut
bloom, azaleas, full-blown shrimp pink
roses, or moss buds, with maidenhair
fern, etc. They look like delicious,
odorous bunch of June flowers; put up

fully dress it at once.-N. Y. Post.

Among the legends Of Ireland is this
beautiful and suggestive myth - the
islands Of life and death. In a certain
lake in Munster there were two islands.
Into the first death could never enter,
but age and sickness and the WEAKNESS
of life and the paroxysms of fearful suffer-
ing all were there known, and they did
their work till the inhabitants. tired Of
their immortality, learned to look upon
the opposite island as upon haven Of
repose. They launched their barlxs upon
the gloomy waters; they touched its
shore and they were at rest. This legend
represents with pathetic fidelity the sad
Erin of today, looking over to Atlantis
across the sea-America, the haven of
repOse, the shores of rest. OF the four
and one half millions of Irish people now
left in Ireland it is safe to say so per
cent have an ambition some day to see
the land Of the free and the home Of Yam

Much has been said and written re-

The fact is that Rein P. Bowie. not

wealthy women BeeCars.

Several weeks ago two plainly dressed
middle aged women appeared on the
streets here as mendicants. Both had
accordions, from which they pumped
the most doleful specimens of harmony
imaginable, and to the accompaniment
they sang in high, cracked voices. With
characteristic American careless gen.
crosby, the crowds contributed nickels
and pennies by scores and the women
reaped Il liberal harvest.
Among the hundreds who saw the
women here was lady who recognized
them. Il have seen them in New York,
in Portland, Ore, and in Salt Lake
City" she said. ''They go to Salt Lake
City every year to look after valuable
property they have there. The truth is,
| am told, they are wealthy. They
saved several thousand dollars from
their street earnings and invested the
sum i'll real estate in Salt Lake City.
Then the boom came on there and in a
few months the women were rich. Now
they have valuable investments in vari-
Gus cities, and their business judgement
seems excellent. The great bulk OF
their wealth is in Utah, however, and
their property there is growing more
valuable every day.
THE women like their old profession
of harping to the public, and stick to il
as industriously as ever. They make a
surprisingly large income from it and
save great deal every ar, which goes
to swell their investments. The posi-.
bility of these women following men.
