around the neck. She thus stands clad
In her own beauty. and. although she
may apprehend It's charm, she hasn't
the necessary guide TO attempt TO please
for the mere pleasure OF pleasing.
My third and fourth Illustrations will
give you an excellent Idea Of the latest
styles OF colffure. To attain the charm
ing effect shown In number three, you
divide the hair in two parts from the
forehead to the nape, and then from
each side you take small locks for wav-
ing purposes. The hair which usually
goes to make the braid Is twisted into a
small chignon with crimped ends. The
frizettes cover the whole top OF the head,
reaching down on the forehead. Three
rows OF pearls are made use of for orna-
ments. With this particular couture, as
represented, Is worn q marabout ruche,
the feathers being laid on pleated
band of crepe de chine. On the inside
there Is a bullion, and the lower portion
has also bouillon and pleated volant.
The couture represented In my fourth
illustration is intended for young girl
To accomplish 1t, you take strand OF
hair extending from the forehead to the
back of the ear and wave 1t, combing 1t
backward. With the remainder OF the
hair you make small chignon, crimp-
ing the ends in curls which fall forward
and backward. The frizettes are carried
backward.
No matter how much pains you may
take in making up cloth dress, when
you put it on plain girl the combina-
ton Is not entirely satisfactory. The
ensemble Is too plain, but by the simple
addition of a narrow astrakhan trim
ming round the bottom of the skirt,
down the front of the long jacket bodice,
and also edging the collar and basques,
you at once help out the plain girl amaz-
ingly. ] may say, before leaving this

as richly and becomingly as possible,
study their good points-for what girl
has not some good points-ard above all
impress upon their minds the necessity
of making greater effort to please than
is required of her more favored sister.
If the plain girl has good figure,
take good care that it be accen-
tuated. II her strong point be her
complexion, exercise the greatest
skill and care in selecting the proper
tones to enhance it's beauty. The plain
girl often has what is known as style.
In that case, the mother should sit up
nights thinking out ways and means to
underscore this strong point. A simply
pretty woman is generally annihilated
wlten she comes in contact with a thor
oughly stylish woman. Style may be
indefinable, but 1t has a dynamic force
that impresses itself upon the mind OF
every beholder. Men adore style, and
the charm of style is that age cannot
wither it nor custom stale it. But
clothes may injure or suppress it, and
therefore should these same anxious
mothers take heed lest they mar charm
more valuable than beputy itself. But,
still urges this anxio9 mother, Dress
is so expensive, and when one has an
unlimited supply OF daughters and linn
tied means it becomes question of ter

THE wisdom of giving while you
live, IN favor of which Mr.. Gladstone
spoke so vigorously not long ago, is
demonstrated anew by the action of
Uhe Drexels. That philanthropic
family has given $4,000, 900 in thor
oughly useful and practical public
works, and has been able to direct
the expenditure of the money as it
Intended that it should be used. That
was better than leaving the five mill
ions in a will and having no part in
the administration Of the charity.
And another benefactor who believes
in giving while he lives, Mr.. G. w.
Childs, has just presented his superb
collection of manuscripts and auto
graphs to the institution founded by
the Drexels.

numbered four, and every horse was q
heat-winner before the judges awarded
the moneys. For three exciting heats
the struggle lay between Forest D., an
even-money favorite, Williams good
mare Epithet and the bay horse Silas G..
Then the race took a turn. McHenry's
entry, large, magnificently formed and
richly colored chestnut stallion, who had
come out somewhat rank, after bringing
up the rear while the race was young,
now toned down and seemed positively
to improve under the gruelling ordeal Of
divided heats, as he gave battle to the
leaders in the next succeeding mile.
From the word to the wire it was war to
the knife. Down the long stretch and
around the far-away turn the field went
closely punched in the deepening even
ing twilight. This time McHenry, With
the chestnut stallion, was seen to be
near the front. Rounding into the home
stretch, the contending trotters, one
after another, came at the leader with
disheartening drives. 1t was a crucical
test Of gameness that none but race
horse will stand. And a racehorse then
and there Chestnut Wilkes proved him
self to be. With one of those magnifi-
cent rallies which come with peculiar
fitness in the frightening shadows OF
evening, and which mark Enthusiastically
the trotter of unconquerable resolve, he
fairly outlasted and outtrotted the party
in a succession of desperate drives, land
ing the heat by an open length from
Silas G.. at the finish. Chestnut Wilkes
in racchorse style proved equal to the
occasion and won as he liked.
The victor, at the conclusion of this
drawn-out combat, was at once the
cynosure of admiring eyes. The clean,
fiat legs; the eye, intelligent, mild, yet
determined; the broad, smooth back and
loin; the enormous propelling power Of
his hind parts; the depth of shoulder and
the general symmetry of form were
leading points in his structural excel
lence greatly to be admired.

Sponges.

Florida sponge-tishermen detect the
presence of sponges by means of a
water-glass, which is a simple con-
trivance, it being a circular piece Of
glass inserted in the bottom of a
bucket. The bucket is thrust into
the water, and, looking through the
glass, the sponge-hunter can clearly
distinguish any object on the bottom
OF the sea, even II the water be rough.
The sponges are gathered with pole
from eighteenth forty feet long with
three-pronged iron claws at the end.

THERE is theory among people
who lack experience that wife be-
lieves everything her husband says.
There Is nothing in 1t. A wife is
usually more suspicious of her hus-
band than OF any other person, and
II Is the Joy OF her life to catch him In
a lie. She usually has good many
.oys OF her life to rejoice over, too. A
man is always lying to his wife. He
Is compelled to. If man could be
as good as a woman expects him to
be, no woman would be fit to live
with him, he would he SO nice.

forgotten struggles OF this assembly OF
star performers was the finish fight in
the 2:45 class for trotters, on the closing
day Of the meeting; not SO amazingly
fast, to be sure, as the contests OF the
older campaigners, yet an equally

romance ana romantic adventures led them

took them 10 the central station, where they
were locked UP. Carrie Harmon lives at 81
