Another fawn is double breasted, and

A rich bright green cloth has turn back
collar of black astrskhan, with revers SO
short and broad that they seem to form a
yoke; then the sstrakhan is continued mar

One very peculiar garment has q front
of soft brown cloth, which hangs like the
box, straight from the shoulders. No but
tons or fastenings are visible, but after
close examination you discover that it is
confined at the side under two small plaits
that have been taken in the cloth. The
back is the same box shape, but is made of
brown velvet. On beth back and front is
laid richly embroidered yoke OF beading
in many colors. and there are also sleeve
bands fit. The wrap il thickly wadded and
lined with old-rose satin.

There's another that is just as pretty as
can possibly be; not a bit gorgeous, only
truly original and pleasing. The material
is vigogue, the color is bright leopard, that
pretty shade that goes so well with bright
scarlet. The cloak is cut loosely, falling
more than q three quarter length. 1t
stands apart little at the throat, and then
the loosness is gathered together at the
belt. so that there is q narrow open V down
the front. There is little pointed fancy
belt catching the loosness. Over the cloak
fall two capes, lined with dainty scarlet
silk. One is quite long, falling to the
waist, the other is very short, just reach
ing the shoulders. 1t is put on full, this
second one. in regular deep waves. The
capes and the CLOAK proper are all trimmed
with single row of scarlet silk braid The
high standing collar has three rows of it,
Now this cloak is designed to wear with a
dress, finely striped in exactly the same
shades as those of the coat-leopard and
scarlet And when the dress and the cloak

Wed the girl that was to wear them.
All the new capes have decidedly no puff.
They fall over the shoulders perfectly plain,
many in the old triple style. Scarcely any,
one would cali them pretty, except, per-
haps, the single ones, very short, that just
come together at the neck and then slope
off to either side. A great velvet ruche,
which runs all round, adds character to
these, and broad velvet ribbons tie the cap
at the neck. EVA A. SCHUBERT.

The Magic SOAP bubbles.

First, get the right sort of soap and
water for lasting bubbles. Then get a
copper tube with cork lining at the end,
for blowing small bubbles. and child's
toy trumpet, like that indicated in the pic
ture, for the large ones. Clay pipes are
too fragile and unsulted otherwise for this
experiment.
And now this is the way in which you
may blow three bubbles, and have one in
side the others: Pour a little soap and
water in a saucer, in the middle of which
place an ordinary cork. Then take a little
china doll and make it stand erect on a sill
yer dollar piece by applying little sealing
wax to its feet and attach small circular
piece of pasteboard to its head.
Then moisten with the soapy water the
edges of the saucer, the cork, the dollar,
and the pasteb0ard on the dolls head
Next place the dollar on the cork in the
saucer and set this latter on goblet.
Now moisten in the soapy water the
mouth Of the toy trumpet, and holding 1t
above the doll, blow your first bubble.
which Will not burst ct contact with the
objects placed in the saucer. because they
are moistened with the liquid of which it
is made. Then take the copper tube. mois-
ten it well, for its whole length, in the
liquid, and introduce it into the large bub-
BILE, which will not burst. Take up some
of the liquid in the saucer and blow the
second bubble just above the dolls head.
Stop when it has attached itself to the cir
conference of the dollar piece. Thus the
doll will appear inclosed in double-dome
of glass.
Lastly, withdraw the tube, moisten it
in the soap and water, pierce with it the
two bubbles, and blow a third little one in
side them.
If it rests in the circular pasteboard on
the dolls head, your exeriment will be
complete.

Yes, dresses are bright and brilliant and
gay; and so are hats, striKingly so; and so
are gloves-the brightest colored gloves
you ever saw are worn these days on the
streets; but the wraps and cloaks for this
coming season far excel in magnificence,
richness and brillisncy all the handsome
dress goods and gowns. all the beautiful
headgear yet displayed. They're positively
overawing, these rich brocades and cloths,
with their beading and fringes and Innings
and trimmings. We can't quite tell whether
we like them or not; we're only wonder
fully impressed by them just at present.
Are they very different from last years.
rtyless Well, the mantles are little longer;
some of them fall q trifle beyond the old
three quarter length, some Of them go
down TO the ground. OF course almost
everything has q box plat somewhere in

loose box-cut. A great many are open at
the neck, but there are still more that have

plain garments for ordinary wear are in

creations claim all attention.

THE MAP COLUMBUS USED.

Whore America LIS.
Columbus was aided by the map work Of
Toscanelli. This distinguished astronomer
who drew his map about 1470 calculated
the circumference of the earth near the
truth-he made it only 1874 miles too great
This accuracy Tor that day is simply amaz-
ing Toscaneili, however, was all in
dreamland about Asia; he elongated Asia
till it covered the whole Pacific ocean.
Then he pictured open ocean, be-
ginning at aoout the longitude {
California and extending east 10 Europe
Columbus pored over this map and car
ried it with him on his voyage as the
nearest thing to chart which was obtain
able. Nevertheless Columbus had theory
of his own about the width of the Atlantic
ocean and about the circumference of the
earth. Columbus believed TINT poscanelli:s
figure OF the earth $ circumference was ali
too large; SO instead Of about the true cir
conference Columbus went back and ac-
copied Ptolemy's estimate, and thus made
it $500 miles too little He calculated

THE SANTA MARIA.

The Wonder Is How Columbus Crossed the
Ocean in His Little Caravel.
Spain is now in the midst of a series of
fetes in commemoration of the discovery of
America which will last till late in Oc-
tober. On Aug. 8, the date of the sailing
of Columbus from Palos, the jubilatlon be-
gan, and of all the sights the exact repro
duction of the flagship of Columbus, the
Santa Maria, excited the most amazement
Among the sailors in the vast gathering
there was loud chorus of amazement and
unbelief. Almost unanimously they de-
clared that such ship had not done the
thing-it was impossible.

Miss Edna Dean Proctor, the descend

family, was born at Henniker, N. H. In
early life she became contributor to
the best literary publications and pub

among American poets. After travelling
extensively in the east she wrote "a Rus

style, which has become classic.

apples very much wanted to eat myself.
But Dumnorix aud Orgetorix kept on
growing. They were wee mites OF rabbits
when first had them, and when they stood
on their hind legs their noses didn't reach
