little grandchildren of Edwin Booth are
dragging a toy express wagon up and down
on the lawn in front of the hotel piazza, and
a lady who has been pulling the curls of The

puts a scarlet cushion at her back as she
tells me about a lawn fete she attended at
New Bedford a few days ago, which Mrs.
Cleveland honored by coming up from
Tudor Haven, with rosy cheeks and a won
derful parasol and a dress of coarse-meshed
silk net of an ecru tone. with pink and
crimson roses printed upon it among dark
green rose leaves.
Mrs. Cleveland, says the lady, stepped
with q vigor n elasticity she has not for a
long time shown. She took a hand at the
tennis and her laugh rang out merrily.
When she sat in a low rocker slipping her
ice under the heavy shade of an oak tree
there was occasion to notice her interest in
a vagrant chipmunk of adventurous dis
position, her low tan-colored shoes tied up
with pink ribbons, and the ruching of rose
petals in crinkled silk about the bottom of
her gown. Her bodice was draped across
from right to left, and the Florentine
sleeves with high wristlets of ecru velvet
edged with q narrow row of rose petals.
The ruching around the neck was of paler
petals than the wrist and hem edging. Her
hat was a big fiat plate with three soallops
in front and a struggling wreath of roses
about the brim. Her parasol of ecru chit

Cousin Nina Clipped in to help Maude.
Her forte was fancy cooking. She had
a valuable theoretical knowledge of the
subject but she was difident about ac-
knowledging the practical results.
Nina had been experimenting with
pies for several days, and at last she
had constructed one which on the face
of it answered every requirement of
the cook book. I caught her gazing at
it with honest pride, and 1 heard hor
ask Maude if she didn't think we might
invite Sydney TO tea. This meant, Of
course, that the pie was to be cut for
Sydney's especial benefit When q
young woman begins to acknowledge
q growing interest in a young man by
making things for him TO eat the affair
takes on a serious aspeet-especially for
him.
We asked Sydney over to tea. I have
previously introduced him as polite
young man; and, in any case, self-in-
terest would have urged him to get on
the right side of Maude in order to Sc
cure her influence with Nina. He ate
nine of Maude's biscuits. There were
thirteen separate and distinct night
mares in every one Of them. 1 know,

times in a cold perspiration.
Nina's pie came last. She prepared
to cut it with her own fair hands, as
sisted by a knife, As she laid the
edge Of the blade on the pastry she
fixed her eyes tenderly on Sydney, and
he returned the glance. I watched the
knife. Nina sawed a few times with
its edge, but the top crust Of that pie
remained unscathed. Then she tried
the point, but it did not penetrate. Sid
ney noticed that something was the
matter, and he blushed sympathet-
ically. l tried not to catch Maude's
eye, for laugh at that critical moment
might have sundered two young hearts
forever.
Meanwhile Nina sawed and stabbed,

Simply a Useless Expense.

The calling Of the senate at this time
is so evidently for political buncombe
that it will fail Of its intended effect 1t
is simply meant to attract public atten-
tion to the matter, and keep it awake
until after the election. The senate
cannot impeach any officer. The con
stitution vests that power solely in the
house Of representatives,. The house
must prosecute; the senate is the court
that sits upon the case. There is nc
IN re propriety in having the senate
conduct a preliminary investigation OF
its own accord than there would be in 4

WITH ONE ACCORD.
Pattison Condemned by the Press
Of Pennsylvania,
no EXTRA SESSION NECESSARY.
keystone State Editors Agree i'm
Finding the Governors Action
Due Entirely to His Ambi-
tion TO Help Along His
Presidential Boom.
no EXTRA SESSION NECESSARY,

With one accord the newspaper press
of Pennsylvania, except where biased
by Democratic partisanship, promptly
characterized the hasty action Of Gov
ernor Pattison in calling the senate in
extra session as a political campaign
move. All agree that, prompted by his
ambition to secure the Democratic nom
ination for the presidency, Pattison has
gone farther than his better Judgment
under ordinary circumstances would
lead him. He is now playing for politi-
cal effect, and the prevailing impression
is that he viii soon discover the great
bluuder he has made. Public sentiment
has already set in strongly against him.
Here are some press comments:
Mr.. Pattison's Boomerang.
The proclamation Of Governor Patti
son is already developing the symptoms
Of a boomerang through the state. The
call Of the extra session Of the senate
has so many marks of rank parusunship
about it that it is little wonder that the
| governor is charged with furtheriug his
own designs upon the presidency 1t is
absolutely necessary that the state should
| go Democratic to make the governor a
hopeful candidate before the Democratic
convention, and to secure this result
every Democratic expedieut must be
employed.

tins so near the election that a careful
examination could not be made? Why

and genuine basis, and not to be sub
