An observer watched a young woman
putting a stamp on an envelope. She
moistened the back of the stamp with her
tongue and then stuck 1t on the envelope.
"That's the way" said the observer; do
all you can to send that letter to the dead
letter Office. 1t is just as easy 10 moisten
the envelope and put the stamp on that
way, but nine-tenths of the people whom /
know always moisten the gum on the back
of the stamp, and by so doing remove half
the adhesive and leave the stamp in dan.
ger of slipping off the envelope as soon as
it gets dry. suppose hundreds upon hun
dreds of letters have gone to the dead let

In his letter of resignation, which he
sent from india in January, he an
nounces that he viii, from this time on,
devote himself to literary work which is
to be in aid of the society. The nature
of this work is readily to be imagined
by reading the announcement made by
The Theosophist, a magazine published
in India and circulated all over the
world 1t begins in the March number
a series of articles by Colonel Olcott,
entitled cold Diary Leaves" which are
"reminiscences of the origin and vicissi-
tudes Of the Theosophical society, aid
personal anecdotes and recollections Of
Nine. Blavatsky, her phenomena and
her friends.
Colonel Olcott's resignation, which
has been accepted, leaves the vice pres
ident, Mr.. William @, Judge, in charge
of his office, and also leaves open the
question of who his successor will be.
The leadership of opinion in this curious
organization is by no means a preroga-
tive of the presidency, and while there
are various opinions as to who will be
the leader, only one name has been really
seriously considered for the presidency.
It is altogether probable that Mr.. Judge,
who has been the virtual head of the or
ganization in this country ever since
Nine, Blavatskys departure, will be the
next president
There is, however, formal election
necessary as matter of course, and
that has been arranged for. 1t will take
place at the annual convention of the
American section of the Theosophical
society, which is to be held at the Palmer

Henry C. Bowen.

Colonel Henry c. Bowen, of the New
York Independent, the famous light
of the Beecher trial, is now past eighty
years. He divides his time between his
town house in New York and his beauti-
full country seat at Woodstock, Conn.
When in the city and health or weather
permit he visits The Independent office
daily. He has three sons, one of whom
is identified with the paper. Another
son, Clarence Bowen, is prominent in all
local affairs, having done much to pro-
mote the success of the Washington CEN
tenuial few years ago and to interest
New Workers in the Worlds fair.

House, in Chicago, ON the Gath and 25th
of April Already notices have been
sent out to the various branches of the
order all over the country requesting
them to take action in the matter by
designating the person for whom they
desire to vote. Equally, as matter of
course, it is impossible to predict what
the various branches may do, and it is
possible that the question of choosing a
new president may be one that will oc-
casion dissension and heartburnings,
There is, however, no real reason to
doubt that Mr.. Judge will be the choice
of a substantial majority of the society.

cade velvet on satin, black and chau-
dron, or copper color. Around the bot
tom were two bias bands of chaudron
plain velvet headed and footed with
quilting of green cloth. The corsage
was quite plain in the back, with only
little rounding in the paddle, and the
front was as is seen. The lower part Of
the sleeves were of green cloth and the
upper of brocade. Altogether it makes
very handsome out or indoor gown.

front and train were Of changeable taf-
feta silk in green and crimson, with
sides, waists and sleeves of gray printed
silk. The flowers were pale pink, with
the green leaves faint and shaded. This
dress was copied in China silk and in lilac
yelling, with the sides of both in the
Spanish allover lace pattern of the new
wide lace. The design is one that would
also be pretty in challie or chambray,
with embroidery for sides.
Among the goods most in demand just

work are the gypsy and other outing
cloths. Gypsy cloth is q sort Of striped
cotton, with light fluff, like flannel,

ground is white, cream or pearl gray.
The skirts will be plain, gathered at the
waist, and with little or no trimming at
the bottom sometimes small cluster
of tucks, to make them set out well.
There will not be many blouses, but in
stead neat French or Spencer waists,
with wide leather belts in tans and
browns. No sashes or cords. Many of
them have white vest plastrons, but un-
less very carefully fastened these will
be somewhat in the way during tennis
or other active movement. This gypsy
cloth is cheap, and washes much better
than the fannels, and will not fade.

rice through, all fashionable and all to
be worn or being worn. but the broad

sissippi river and the Gulf of Mexico.
A representative of an Eastern syndi-
