Of late Mrs. Davis has been giving
much attention to the subject of baths
and the preservation of beauty. Some
of her views are here given.
Permit me to introduce to you Mrs.
Davis, wife of Senator CuShman K.
Davis, of st. Paul. Mlnn., one of the
most beautiful women in Washington.
Mrs. Davis was born beautiful, but no
body knows better than she that beauty
Is only skindeep, and that once gone it
is gone forever. Therefore, she delib-
erately studies TO add. to as we'll as to
keep her physical charms.
1t was G O'Clock one afternoon this
week when she was found at home and
informal fashion in which women de-
light to chat about themselves. She
wore gown of white knetted crepe of
her own designing. Mrs. Davis de-
signs all her own costumes, saying
frankly that she knows all her own
points" better than any dressmaker.
Tradition says 4hat she once made
dresses fore a living, but she says she
never did, and adds that she was a
music teacher when she met her fate
and the senator in one. The black cos

"Come up stairs" said Mrs. Davis,
cordially. Il will show you my beauti-
fiers if you really must know all about
them. Once week." she continued,
Il take steam bath, and my steam-box
Is unique affair."

while the ice cream department and the
molaSSeS b arrel are close nelgh5orS.
The men who keep the stores are SatiS-
fed with small profits, and If you ask
for an article they have not in stock
they will assure you that they ordered
that particular article yesterday and it
is certain to arrive on the next train.
The poStoffice is in the corner of one
of the stores. 1t is a small compart-
ment, presided over by damsel who
eyes you with wonder if you happen to
receive more than one letter week.
Half mile to the northwest of the
railway station is the estate of Joseph
Jefferson, the actor, and intimate friend
and fellOw-fiSherman of Mr.. Cleveland.
The estate extends over several hun
dred acres, almost entirely Woodland.
His country residence is reached by
handsome driveway cut through the
woods. The cottage faces the head of
Buzzard's Bay, and is located 200 feet
above the water. 1t is built of stone
with MOSAIC trimmings. Broad varan-
das extend around those portions of the
house which overlook the bay. 1t is a

adorned with rugs, valuable paintings
and bric-a-brac which Mr.. jefferson has
collected during his travels. Here the
veteran actor spends his time when he
is not at the Cleveland cottage, or on
the bay fishing with Mr.. Cleveland.
A short distance from Mr.. Jefferson's
home are the cottages of his sons,
Charles and Thomas jefferson. Joseph
Jefferson Jr is at present living with
his father, but he is making prepara-
tions for the erection of handsome
cottage on the family estate. Capt.
Charles Whittier and Edward Dexter
also have handsome cottages near BuZ-
Yards Bay.
A mile and a half eastward of Buz-
Yards Bay is the village of Bourne,
formerly known in the postoffice di
rectory as Monument. The road to
Bourne as we'll as those which traverse
the broad, sandy expanse of the heel
of Cape Cod is tolerably good, although

Tangled and torn, the white sea-laces

Lifted aloft the strong screw races

To green and silver the purple sea;

Flows broken gold where our snip goes
free.

You are there. too distant. Yoshi Sani

AS lost as ii Death, not Time. had taken

Yet if it were Death, of friends, my fairest!
He could not rend our spirits in twain
They came too near to be less than nearest
In the world where true hearts mingle
again.
But sad is the hour we sigh farewell in.
And for me. whenever they name japan.

The Cleveland Estate.
There are 101 u acres attached to Gray
Gables. The topography is irregular,
gentle rises alternating with gentle de-
preSSionS over the entire surface. The
shape is that of a triangle, the apex jut-
ting into an arm OF BuZZard'S Bay, and
the mansion is located 100 feet from the
extremity. The Falmouth branch de-
scribes the base of the triangle. With
the exception of dozen acres surround
ing the house, the estate is entirely
woodland.
Mr.. Cleveland was induced to look at
Gray Gables bY his old friend, Joseph
Jefferson. and he was so pleased with
it that he Immediately bought it. 1t is
supposed that he paid nearly $1,000 for
it. Thers are many oyster beds in the
vicinity of Buzzard's Bay, ,and when Mr.
Cleveland bought Gray Gables there

EDWIN GOULD IN LOVE.
Something About the Young Man
and the Girl He Is to Marry.

and the Girl He Is to Marry.
The announcement of the engage
ment of Edwin Gould, Jay Gould's
second son, to Miss Sarah Cantine
Shrady, has created considerable in
terest. Miss Shrady is the stepdaughter
of DR.. George F. Shrady, the celebrated
physician. Her proper name is Cantine,
but she took the name of SlIrady when
her mother married DR.. Shrady.
Ever since Jay Gould started West in
search OF health, Eddie Gould, as he is
familiarly called, along with his brother
George, has been industriouSly looking
after his fathers interests Few peO-
pie about the Western Union Office or
in Wall street guessed that the practi-
cal, busy youth had been brushed by
the wing of the little Cupid. Like
George Gould's marriage 10 pretty little
Edith Kingdom, it is a love affair.
Mr.. Gould first met Miss Shrady at the
lcbming-out reception given to Miss
Helen Gould by her father last winter.
Ever since that night he has been assid-
uuus in els attentions. At the subScrip-
tion dances which were given by Mrs.
Shrady, Mrs. Z. l.. Weatherby and Mrs.
James a. Newbombe, young Gould was
a constant attendant. When the
assemblies were over he asked permis-
sion to give dance himself to the sub
Seribers in honor of Miss Shrady.
The affair came off at the Grand
Opera house in the spring, but was kept
Very quiet.
z1Miss Shrady is not yet eighteen. She
is still called ''Sala" by everybody,
name she lisped herself when. she was
baby. She is, however, tall, graceful
and dignified in bearing. and very
pretty. She has big brown eyes, fair
complexion and plentiful wavy brown
hair.
The first person outside of Miss
Shrady's family notified of the engage
ment was Jay Gould himself. He is said
to be very fond of Eddie Gould's sweet
heart.
Mrs. Shrady and her daughter will
soon pay the GoHlds visit at Iryington.
The date of the marriage is not yet fixed
upon. But Eddie Gould is said to be as
impatient lover as his brother George
was when be was winning Edith King
don from the stage.
Jay GouldPs second son is dark and
swarthy, with black hair, black full
beard, and black. restless eyes. He
looks like Spaniard. He is now TWEEN

rom the stage, as if long draperies

from the stage, as if long draperies
were always and everywhere essential
ID feminine modeSty, and 10 thought of
lmproprIety enters their heads. They
wear them as unconSciousiy as we'll
bred woman wears her ball dress. Its
appropriateness justfies the costume.
AT Clautauqua last summer there was
much discussion OF reform in the uSu-
al feminine dress, and it is likely to be
repeated this year. In general the model
recommended was based on the present
bathing dress for women. The object
is to devise costume which shall re-
lieve women from the. embarrassment
OF draperleS clinging about the legs and
feet and permit a freedom of movement
necessary for them if they are to COM
pete with men in the work of the world.
Nothing practical has come of, the dis
cusSion, however, for women do not
take their fashions from Chautauqua,
though nothing is more obvious than the
total inapprOpriateneSS of the present
dress Of workingwomen who are com
PEELED to leave the seclusion of homes
to earn their living in shops and fac
tories. But until the women of Fifth
avenue set the fashion of dress reform
there will be ne reform in the feminine
costume in any quarter. Distinctions
in dress which mark distinctions in
employment are intolerable in the eyes
of the women workers. Even women
servants oftentimes object to the cap
and apron which advertise their occu-
patton. They want to go abroad clad
in the prevailing fashion.
When, however. manner of dress
becomes conventional it cannot be i'm
modest whether it be the costume Of
the sea islanders or of NewYork. When
it is usual or prescribed it ceases to
attract attention. Hence women who
would shrink with horror from expos
ing their legs in ball room think moth
ing of wearing low-necked dresses
there, while at the sea beach they will
show their legs and hide their busts.
1t is purely matter of convention and
of appropriateness.
Miss Russell would have been absurd,
therefore, if she had refused to wear
tights on the score of modesty, for she
was required to wear them when they
are sanctioned by custom and conven-
ton. She would rather have betrayed
immodesty. II, however. she was afraid
of her health, or her legs were not so
fashioned as to bear such an exposure,
she is defenSible in the court of femi-
nine taste and morals, though cruel
court of civil law has condemned her to
pay damages for violating her contract
by trying to run away from its obliga-
tionS.

THE ETHICS OF IIGH
Lillian Russell MuIcted in Dam
ages for Refusing to Wear
Tights.


New York Sun.
The court of appeals has affirmed the
Judgment in favor of the plaintiff in
the case of James c. Duff against Lill
ian Russell. The action grew out of the
refusal of Miss Russell to wear tights
i'll comic opera wherein tights were
a requisite of her part. Her excuse was
that if she wore the tights she was
likely to catch cold, and perhaps might
lose her voice in consequence. Accor-
dinghy she broke her contract with her
manager, and now must pay him dam
ages.
She did not attempt to defend hel
course on the ground that tights are
immodest, for such a plea would have
been plainly untenable. The seaside
season has now begun, and from this
times forth until the salt water becomes
too cold for bathing, many thousands of
modest women will appear on the
beaches at CoDey Island, Long Branch,
Newport. Narragausett, Cape May, and
and all along the New Jersey and Long
island coast clad in costumes which re-
veal the figure not less generously than
its proportions are exposed by the tights
worn OH the stage. Nay, the exposure
of the bathing costume is even franker,
for it is not mitigated by any under
clothing. The only garments worn in
the water are the short tunic, the trous-
erS down to the knees. and the stock
ings, with OF without the addition of
canvas shoes. Sometimes, too, even
the stockings are omitted, though some
times, also, as we are informed, corSetS
are worn from motives of vanity.
The current bathing dress is very
becoming costume to a woman of a
handsome figure, aud as it permits the
greatest freedom of movement, it graft
ties exceedingly the eye of taste. 1t also
serves to make conspicuous the encour-
aging fact that multitudeS of our women
possess strong, symmetrical, supple and
beautiful figures, which have not been
deformed by art. The stage tights do
not afford the same assurance, for it is
rumored that they give opportunities
for padding which may be improved de-
ceitfully. The stage figure may be
made up by art. The figure of the fem
mime bather clad in the conventional
bathing costume of the day is as nature
made it. As il is, it frankly appears as
the wearer walks along the beach and
plungeS in the surf.
Or course this costume is strictly and
scrupulouSly modest, for it was worn by
many thousands of women whose no
tions of modesty are the most delicate.
In physical and moral perfection they
are among the choicest of the noble and
beautiful examples of wOmanhood. The
hope of the race is in them, its highest
glory. They keep the lamp of purity
burning in the world. Yet they wear
costumes which prurlence would drive

Washington Letter to the New FORK World
Mrs. Senator Davis, of st. Paul,
Minn., has been more OF less interesting
to women since she set the fashion of
wearing black silk underwear some
years ago. At that time all enterprising
Western journal devoted page to an
illustrated account of the lady's hose
and lingerie, and Mrs. Davis awoke the
next morning to find herself famous.
Every Western woman who could af-
ford. and great many who could not,
promptly invested in black silk under
wear. The opinion of Mrs. Davis on
that and every other subject was sought
and freely given. When she came to
Washington her fame had preceded
her, and her st. Paul triumphs were re-
peated.

And the wild rose mods IN the lane:
Ana gold in the east, and red in the west,
The sun berstirs him again.

And the breezes softly sigh
For the columblne in my lady's bower,
And then at her feet they die
And all the ponp of the June is here
The mirtn aud passion and song:
And Young is the summer, and life is dear,
And the day is never too long.
