latest Partisan mode.
FLEXIBLE gold chain belts are very effect,

TEA gowns of pink, blue or green silk pro-
fusely trimme ed with lace are very becom-
ing.
LONG ornamental pins are again seen in
millinery, and of silver, gilt, steel or Jet with
jeweled heads.
TEA gowns of silk, covered with finest
India muslin embroidered in pale colors,
are very dainty.

ply softened magenta.
A HOUSE gown of blue and gold tafreta
glace silk is trimmed with black lace and
gilt passementerie studded with turquoise.
For small children white serge is yery
dressy trimmed with yellow silk braid. The
silk braid is as effective as gold braid and
does not tarnish.
FOR travelling gown mohair is much worn
frightened by vest of white or pink India

recommendation is its ability to withstand
crushing and to shed dust.

call for constant laundry work.

CHESS NEWS.

We regret to learn that Mr.. W. C. Cochran,
OF C1nc1nnati has announced that ne Will

date for the Presidency of the United States
Chess Association another year: AS an
organizer and worker, says the Comp,ercsds
Gazette OF that city, he has no superior In tne
chess field, and he has been prominent IN
nearly every effort to stimulate an interest
In chess in the last 20 years.
The third annual report Of the United
states Chess Association contains AZ games
played at ST. Louis and seven games played
at indianapolis with an index OF the open
report of the treasurer, a list of the mem
bers, etc. The association has 2ls members,
three of whom reside in this great Common
wealth. AS the cost of membership is only

port, we hope q number of our players Will
Join at once by remitting to Mr.; Warwick

Ind, the membership fee of 81. AS already
stated, the fourth annual meeting Will De

A presentation of the statistics which fur

NAV not be without interest. Below will
be found as accurate a compilation as the

full and contained just as much "stuff as
could be snugly gathered upon the pand.
The waists, too; were round ana loose
blouse-shaped, rather than tight-ftting, ana
oftentimes an enormous sash of the same
material was tied around the waist. NOW
1t is all SO diferent-and yet one buys al
most the same quantity of goods for dress
pattern. Dearly beloved women why are
these things thus?' Can anyone answer TO a
nicely and a certainty? Perhaps it is be-
cause the large, full sleeves which every
dress requires in order to bear the stamp OF
fashion requires great deal of dress goods.
Three yards at least must go to the sleeves,
If they are full at the shoulder, high putfed
and tapering to fit the arm and wrist. II
the sleeves are full and puffed all the way
to the wrist, ending there with a narrow
band to hold the great sleeve puff in place,
1t takes almost twice as much goods as the
shoulder puff alone would require. And
then, if you have taken notice, you will
have seen large, loose, half-fowing sleeve,
something like the sleeve which is attached
to wrap, and having also a tight-htting
sleeve underneath; this takes more material
yet, and counts up enormously when one
goes to compute the number Of yards that
are required for gown.
The following becoming costume will
be found especially suitable for yacht

The above shows that the Twin Cities are
still superior though the score Is greatly i'm
proved on the side of the visitors. The Al

The Pennsylvania Checker Association

President, and the checker editor of THE

the holder Of the medal, and II he
holds it one year, without even being chal-
lenged, the medal will be the property of the
holder. 1t will be necessary to become q
member Of the association to be enabled to

themselves with the association can send
their names to the checker editor of The

j. P. Reed, the champion of America, has
been in PittsbuYg for one week. His visit
has been one of great interest to the players,
and his blindfold exhibitions, to those who
have never been privileged to witness them,
are simply marvellous. Those competent to
judge say Mr.. Reed never played stronger
in his life, his wonderful feat Of winning
eight games straight from the strongest as
pirant to the championship of the State, W.
G. Brown, of Altoona, showing how little any
of US can do with him, though O few have
won games, Maize, Ewalt, McAteer and
Binhardt. Stuart, Of Washington, Pa, and
Ritch1e. of Tarentum won the only blind
fold games. Mr.. Reed will probably visit
Cincinnati, Newport, ETC., before going back
to Chicago. His match with Mr.. Barker is
now assured and the match is to be played,
commencing September IA, in Chicago. 1t
will be q very exciting contest, as the two
aspirants are reputed to be In good form.
We can count upon some great checkers be-
ing played, and the result OF the match will
just place the three great American expo
nents of the game. Barker was defeated by
Freeman by the score: Freeman, wins,
Barker and q games drawn in g match OF
30 games. Barker plays Mr.. Reed on the
same terms and conditions of restriction
as he did Mr.Freeman. We await the result.

B. & o. IMPROVEMENTS.

Passenger Engines.

The Company Putting Its Road Fast
Passenger Engines.
The Baltimore and Ohio road has placed
on its line between New York and Wash
ington three new engines that are claimed
to be the fastest in the country. This section
of the road lacks for nothing. What is
needed is a more liberal policy on the Pitts
burg and other Western divisions. The
company has placed eight ten-wheel pas
senger engines on the mountain division.
One of these engines does the work re-
quired of two ordinary oues. The company
is building number of new freight and
passenger engines at Mt. Clare shops. Sew
eral new freight engines were recently put
on this end of the road.
The officials here deny the report that the
tracks are to be quadrupled to McKeesport.
If such a move is contemplated they claim
they don't know anything about it.

Late publications relative to the capitali-
zation of the American Vault, Safe and
Lock Manufacturing Company, now con-
structing their works at the new town of
Blaine, were erroneous and misleading.
The capital stock of the company is $500, 900,
divided into shares of the par value of $50
each. About all the shares have been sub
scribed for by fnanciers of Pittsburg and
the Monongahela Valley, and the Vault,
Safe and Lock Company contemplate an in
crease OF capitalization at an early date.

however, that a just idea of the results OBJ

ward Annex last yearfor translation from
Horace, which was published afterward in
one of the monthlies. She has been doing
literary and journalistic work ever since
under the agis of Colonel 7. W. Higginson.
To give her an appropriate send-off the
breakfast was made as classic as possible.
Every girl wore Greek gown, and to keep
the thing informally jovial the costumes
were contrived, chiefly by the help of
scissors, from light shades of cheesecloth.
The menu was printed in Latin, and Pom
peiian vases held the roses with which the
table was covered. The favors were rib
bons painted with roses, and on Miss Reed 8
was inscribed legend in Greek, Fair
blows the breeze, the seamen loose the
sail, from something by Meleager. This
was above the flowers. Below them in let
tiers of gold stood:
Woman. that hast dared all and more than
There is not anything nor will be ever,
Than woman better, let what will fall on
men.
This was taking liberty with Euripides,
for he wrote it "worse," though perhaps he
has repented by this time.
The NARROW shirt is an English shlrt-
waist which is finding special favor with
ladies who affect the British style of dress.
1t is made of cotton cheviot, in Oxford or
Cambridge mixtures, or Of plain white
linen. It is made exactly like a gentle
mans shirt, with shield front, high, yoke
at the back, shirtsleeves and wristbands and
Piccadilly collar. Gold, enameled or Jew
eled shirtstuds, and a four-in-hand or Ascot
tie complete the outfit, which is intended,
of course, for negligee wear. with dark
tweed or serge skirts. For boating cost
ume is worn the new sleeveless jacket or
REFER coat with such shirt to match the
skirt.

The same little sermon applies to arms.
A single summer of the tight cuffs now worn
from waist to elbow will do more to spoil
the lower arm for evening dress than any
other instrument of torture that could be
contrived. Besides-this at least is point
which may command attention-the tight
cuff is absolutely incompatible with white
hands. Many girl has mourned in secret
because her wrists were red as beets and has
racked her brain and her cosmetic boxes to
find out the cause. It was nothing more
nor less than her cuffs, which interfered
with the circu' alton. An easy sleeve from
shoulder to wrist is cheaper and more use
full than the services of manicure. The
tight cuff, too, is extremely awkward look
ing.
