A look through a powerful field glass
from c,le Of the narrow windows in the
top Of the Washington monument in hot
weather shows a new side of domestic
life in the capital-what might be term
ed the upper side-as a writer has said
III Il book of which all the rest has been
forgotten. Washington is a city of
boarding houses. As you look from the
top Of the monument with your field
glass you can see bedrooms ON the house
tops. That is. light. portable cots have
been taken upon the atroofs Of houses,
rugs spread over the sheets of tin that
have become floors, and SON etimes fold
ing screens have been placed between
the beds. The houses SO topped off are
probably the big boarding houses where
unmarried department clerks live, and
they take to the roofs on hot nights for
the sake of the maximum of air and
minimum of temperature. And the plan
is not Il bad one by long odds. Wash

old fashioned Southerner. Yet there
ws5 4 time. and that not ten years ago,
when every gentleman thought that to
sustain his dignity he had to wear a
palmetto hat in the summer. The fact
is, THAI in spite Of their light and cool
appearance the palmetto hats were the
hottest covering that perspiring man
ever interposed between his head and
the burning rays Of the sun. White
stG-ched shirts on a hot day don't com
pare to q palmetto hat for discomfort.
The straw is so closely woven that not
particle Of air gets to the hair, and as
soon as people began tog get ideas in their
heads about common sense clothing for
summer they began to look with dis
favor upon the palmetto hat Besides,
tie hats are exceedingly expensive. The
cost OF IL good one is $25 to begin with,
and in order to have it in good condition
yoa must pay several dollars every sum-
mer to have it reshaped and the straw
wllitened. d.-Interview with St. Louis

Porpoise shooting is the newest sport
at Cape May. The seaward end of the
pier is the fayorite rendezvous for those
who want to get a shot at the swiftly
moving fish. The marksnan must have
a steady hand and always be in readi-
ness TO shoot. because the movements Of
the polpoise are SO uncertain that one
does not have time to raise the gun to
the shoulder before they are out Of sight
beneath the water. The women take as
much interest iIAthe sport as the men,
and quite number are out every after
noon perched on the lower deck of the
pier, rife in hand. and waiting for a good
chance to shoot. The sport seems to lie
mere in the attolnpt to capture big game
than in successful results, us it is quite
rare for one Of the fish to be killed and
washed up on the shore.-Elchange

CHAPTER VII.

81 think YOU will find young Gilbert
something of rough diamond" Leigh
Warrington remarked, with slightly
supercilious sheer one afternoon.
Mr.. Warrington was sitting in the
drawing-roOm at WreXham, with the
two girls and Aunt Susan, making one
of his frequent calls. These calls had
been little less frequent and little
less prolonged during the few weeks that
had elapsed since Mr.. Dunstan's return,
but the household still continued to en-
Joy a good deal of his society,-rather
more of it, perhaps, than the master of
the house quite liked. Mr.. Dunstan,
however, so far, had been perfectly civil
to the young clergyman,-at any rate,
to his face. Behind his back he had,
indeed, said one or two not altogether
respectful things of him, and he might
probably have said more, and in a more
public way. if he had not been pacified
by Gabrielle's amused reception of such
expressions of his opinion as had on a
few occasions escaped him. For he had
not the least desire that Gabrielle
should fall in love with MI. Walking
ton, and therefore her amusement in
these circumstances had been rather
soothing to him.
"You have not seen young Gilbert
yet? Well, you will find him, when you
do. something of a rough diamond, l
think, f." said Mr.. Warrington, with his
slight gentlemanly laugh. "Of course,
/ don't mean," he added quickly, in an
off-hand way, that l doubt his being
very worthy fellow, but he is amazing
ly heavy and silent, and not very agree
able in manner, l should say. A big
powerful-looking man-very like his
father. Indeed, one is rather tempted
to think, in looking at him." said Mr..
Warrington, and laughed again, that
it is pity he didn't follow his fathers
trade, for he certainly, as far as thews
and sinews go. would have made first
rate blacksmith"
Il like big men, y remarked Gabrielle,
eoolly.
81 believe, indeed, he does do some
blacksmith's work, for 1 hear he spends
q good deal of his time in the FORGE"
"Well, and why should he not. when
his father hes 10 be thers?" said Helen.
