dreusps re made with an opening on tn
outside OF the arm to show the point of
the shoulder.
Wells of plain or spotted tullo are now
worn long and flowing. They come
down over the shoulders, and are fast
ened over tho broad brm of the hat.
A cloak saieswoman should never sell
a short-necked woman wrap with q
fiared collar Justly or unjustly her fu.
ture wrath will be visited upon the clerk
allowing or persuading her TO mako II guy

Velvet-striped armure silk or satin
striped surahs are much used for gay
house dresses, made with plain, full
skirts, pointed bodices, Breton vests and
lego mutton sleeves, with wrist trim
mings and collars of dark velvet.
There is nothing prettier for table
bell than lotus pod, morning glory
or a plum blossom, modelled in silver
bronze, such rs are sold at Japanese
stores. Anything mechanical. like the
old call bell, Is now considered in the
worst taste.
The fashionable colors are, first Of all.
browns in all their shades. from the
deepest seal to yellow. brown. tint of
fair hair. with a dash of warmth in it
that artists love. Turtle green, tea
green, sapphire, gendarme, and hydran-
yea blues. dahlia, petunii and clover
red, and every shade and tint of gray.
Evening cloaks are again to be lined
with fur. White lamb is so becoming q
finish to the face that 1t remains a per-
manent trimming for such garments
made of ottoman, brocade, fine-faced
cloth, CLOTH etc. Feather trimmings
are also popular for these very elaborate
wraps which are set off with tinsel, bead
and ieweled passHmenteries,
Among the fashionable rough goods

resemble caps, our collars expand into
rutfs, our manteS are cut short and
straight, and or gowns are to he

beiounCed superfiuity of IN aterial in the
dust once more. 1t is whispered. too
that our hair is to be pastered down in
tight little curls on our foreheads.
Gowns are rendered more or less
dressy by the kind OF sleeves used with
them, and economical ladies wear two
or three pairs of sleeves to the same
gown arranged SO as to be easily nd

A FAN FOR AN EMPRESS.

Lots of Hunters Shooting Birds in Or
der to Contribute a Feather.
The latest ecce II trlcity of Viennese
fashion Is II passion for fans of
mountain cock feathers. The last
question the young Austrian belle
asks her admirer before he goes on n
hunt is: "Won't you try, please, to
bag me q fine fan"' An ideal fan
of this kind must contain only feath-
ers from birds brought down by the
most expert shots, and every feather
must be the lone representative of
the giver's skill. Consequently
such an ideal fan may record the adj
miration and skill of sixty or seven
ty hunters. 1t IL also not unusual
to have cut in the ribs of the smaller
fans brief account of the circum-
stances under which the giver of the
attached feathers shot the bird. The
German Empress Augusta Victoria
Is said to have expressed wish last
summer to have such a fan, and ever
since that time the young bloods of
the Austrian court, who have al
ready bagged fans for their own
women, have been shooting right
and left for her sake. The handle
of the fan, now being completed in
Vienna, will be set with jewels i'm
the Prussiau colors.

Dahiias.


Scarlet with pride, they droop their
august heads
Out of the bowl upon whose carven
bronze
Circles troop ofsatyrs, naiads, fauns.
They spread a flush like that of sum
mer dawns
Or like the warm rod glow that Flora
sheds
From poppy beds.
Bright thro' the dusky room their color
glow
And warm with subtle touch the
Round which the storms of grief and
passion wage
An endless war. Like sunshine on a
page
OF somber tragedy that shadows grow
To mimic woe.
A frail white oxalis outside the pane
Forgets tho sun TO blossom in the
rays
Her royal neighbor darts to meet her
gaze,
Lanruid with longing. Like a tiny
Crceps DER her pallid face rosy stain,
Born out of pain.
lie the regal blooms upon the
sill
At midnight, while the oxalis' cups
upliit
From out their trinity of hearts and
drift
Full iafa Of .tS the moons pale smoke; the
or love forgot; grown once moro pale
In soulless chill.

took hunting trip into the mount

bring down some small game. He
had not been out long when he
heard peculiar noise in the under
brush, and after some scouting
around large sized mountain lion

small shot in his shells, but as soon
rs his game came In each he let
loose and she toak the contents in

Woods, thinking that she had a
mate, located himself on u rock,
where he could see over into the
canyon. and true enough In few
moments the lion showed up, and
u monster at that, us large apparent
ly as John Robinson's biggest circus
lion, and he came directly to the
spot where Woods was secreted, and
when within few feet he got the
contents of the gun in the region of
the heart. The lion rolled down
the side Of the canyon short dis
tance, regained his feet and made
his way up an arroyo.
Woods followed him up, and soon
came within hearing of the lioness,
which was bowling frightfully and
all Of sudden it emerged from n
thicket and dashed ut him with
eyes glaring and mouth wide open.
He emptied the contents of his shot
gun into its mouth, which daZed IL
for II moment. Instantly he jerked
out his sheath knife, and ns he did
so the lioness sprang for him, but
only to receive the blade of the knife
Into It's heart, and the fierce animal
lay dead ut Mr.. Woods feet, as the
trophy of his hunt. He did not
want any more lioness, but made his
way back to Bullock's ranch, but
not until he had taken the hide of
his lion, which is now on exhibition.

SAFETY RIDING HABIT.

New Invention of New York Rider.
New York SUM-
The invention of a safety riding
habit still exercises the br,.in of the
British tailor. Numerous devices
have been evolved of skirts that rip
and skirts that unite and skirts that
are no skirts at all in case of spill.
1t would seem that the whole diff
Guilty rests rather in the material
itself than in its fashioning, and if
some one would invent a substance
firm enough to fit smoothly and
hang sedately in the hurry and
scurry of the run, but so woven that

weight of the body of the wearer,
the lessening Of risk to ladies' III the
hunting field would be great. a
graceful little rider in u hunting
club near New York has settled the
question to her own sat
isfaction. On She first meet of the
season she appeared on small black
pony attired In an old-fashioned full
riding skirt of velvet, and sitting her
horse with the grace and ease ac-
quired only by one accustomed to
the saddle from childhood.
At the second meet the velvet
skirt had multiplied, or rather di-
vided itself into two skirts, one of
which hung on either side of the
black pony while erect and non
chalant In her saddle sat the pretty
rider. Seeing the velvet skirt on
one side the pony, one never sus-
pected its duplicate until surprised
by glimpse OF 1t as the pony
wheeled. At the end of the run the
long-limbed hunters were dripping
with perspiration; their riders, men
and women, red-iaced, dishevelled,

THE STORY OF A PICNIC.

Frank Mahew woke with head

shared his quarters, remarked that
the lobster was extra sec, cuvee

would not have hurt bnDy unless
consumed in excess. "Talking of

Jack Welman, who always pre-
sides at breakfast, poured him out a
third cup of tea and shook his head.
"My dear fellow, were you as bad
as that? Really, don't you know
that you are giving a picnic and
have invited twenty people at least
seven girls to my knowledge-on
Saturday next, and have got to pro-
vide boats and lunch?"

con nfldential, IL rather nervous, tone,

uncomfortably; "I'm not sure 1t will

must have some one to give an air of

your invitations In rather an in

Mr.. Mahew went to the writing
table and wrote a little pile of notes,
drank some Apollinaris, and went
to his office for the day.
Next morning Mr.. Welman
pointed with an air of friendly con-
Germ to a little pile of envelopes,
directed in ladies' handwriting,
which lay beside his friends plate.
"Tender regrets" said Frank
Mathew, airlly.

Love, the Jester.
tIiarDeris Bnzlr.f

Love is dressed in motley garb,
Love has donned the cap and bells,
Thrown aside the golden barb,
With bauble weaves his spells,
AT his throne no subjects bend,
At his word no cnptives bow,
Love's domain is ut an end,
Loves jester now.
Love is nothing nowadays,
Hearts no longer he assails,
With the youth and maid he plays,
1t is Love" when some one fails,
And the name has lost its might,
Banded to and fro in sport;
Love is now, unlucky wight,
Jester of the tennis court.

When books were few, life must have

Time must have had an awful mien
When books were few.
And yet the sky was just as blue,
The fields were just US fair and green,
And hearts were just as fond and true.

And quicker, deeper comfort drew

Speeds oil to where the tree trunks,

Stand specter like againt the dark
And blank horizon of the light;
The branches murmur in the breeze,
And autumn leaves, on autumn
breath,
Come rustIing from the tops of trees,
To shrivel In the fires death.
And over the tops of the pines that lie
On the other hand
Is the silver blue
OF the spotless, mooniit northern sky,
Save cloud or two
ora peurly hue,
Girt with "A narrow argent band.
Upon the breeze,
Through the trees,
The throb of a steamer. whose lights be-

Like some fairy lanterns glide along
The tinkle of bells on the mainland
shore,
Where tho cattle still linger in fields still
green;
The bleating OF sheep, and the word

That the crickets are singing o'er

And over the pines, like jewel bright,
Comes the moon in her halo of snowy

A Brave Life Saver.

ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., July IL
Jack Williams, the life saver, again dis
inguished himself yesterday, the life he
saved from the cruel waves being that of
an eightyear old boy named Robert Leh-
nan, of Philadelphia.
The boy had got beyond his depth and
was too much frightened to call for help.
Williams had been watching him, and
seeing that he was evidently drowning,
dashed into the water with his usual dur-
ing plunge. A powerful overland stroke
brought the brave young life guard to the
drowning boys side in an incredibly short
time, while the parents of the little fellow
who now fully realized their child's peril,
stood on the beach in terrible suspense.
When Williams reached the boy be was
sinking the last time. He was light
burden for the stu,cV young life guard
who quickly brought him to his now de
lighted parents. Vigorous treatment soor
brought young Lehman 70 his normal con
iition His parents were profuse in theil
thanks to Williams.
