sional Contests.
Now that the annual championship games
of the Pacific Association are passed, the
next feature Of interest will be the hand
ball tournament, which, if conducted prop
erly, ought to create a strong feeling Of
interest among the athletes of the various
clubs comprised in the association. 1t
is quite probable that representatives,
from the Sacramento and Oakland clubs
will be among those who will enter the
tournament The club has not, as yet, de-
hand with ball In the center of its palm
has been suggested as an appropriate de-
sign.
This afternoon series of professional
games will be played at CondOn's and But
ler's courts on Howard street. Probably
the much-talked-of match between Jack
Riordan and two local players will take
place.

The rustic Of her garments. the faint, sweet
scent of her perfumes. the soft melody of
her voice wins more allegiance than learned
briefs and treatises could win.
If woman is great lawyer or doctor or
divine, she is doubly great if her achieve
ments are accomplished without the sacri-
fee of a single dainty woman's grace of
dress or department.
A correspondent of the London Daily
Graphic says Although | hold that our
sex has been trammeled with and con-
demned to wear an inconvenient, and often
positively unhealthy, form Of dress far too
long, l agree with you that the divided skirt
is not very satisfactory solution My own
experience is that the result is not worth the
trouble and expense. My own most COM
Portable garment of the kind is washing
silk one, which is light and warm. 1t is
made very much after the pattern of ZOuavo
knickerbockers. But. alasl its convenience
and comfort are much lessened by the long
skirt reaching to the ankles, which, except
indoors. l am compelled TO wear. For my
own part, | really honestly prefer we'll

Fosters Forecasts,

ST. Joseph Mo-, Aug. L My
last letter gave forecasts Of the
storm-wgve due to cross the CONT
nent from July 20 to August 2 and
the next will be due to leave the
Pacific coast about August 4, cross
the Rocky-Allegheny valley from
5 to 7, and the Atlantic coast
about the s. This storm-weve will
have tendency to increase cloud
mess and foggy weather with q
moderate amount OF rainfall. The
low barometer will probably
take southern route with cool
rains in the northern states.
Weather will be very changeable
and second stolm wave will be
due to leave the Pacfic coast about
the Z, cross the ky-Allegheny
valley from s to 10 anl reach the
Atlantic coast about the IL.
Sudden changes of the weather
may be expected and third storm
wave will leave the Pacific coast
about the 10, cross the Rocky-Al-
legheny valley from II to Is and
reach the Atlantic coast about the
IA. These storms are not expected
to be of very great force, but
much unsettled and chsngebie
weather may be expected from
August to 10. The weather will
be favorable to the crops and
August will be the best growing
weather of the summer. July is
usually the hot month OF this year.
August weather will not average
excessively hot, however
