4 Tourist Hat.

One of the needs of the present season
is :! tourist hat that can be used for va
rions purposes, something not too elabo-
rate for railway travelling, but yet smart
enough to wear about the exposition
grounds and for the Thousand and one
little occasions incident to the summers
occupation of sightseeing. There are
chips and basket braids that are partic-
ularly desirable for this purpose, also
open work braits that may be made up
over lace frames lined with plain or
figured lace and trimmed with soft silk
or knots of ribbon and wings. AS a
trim, useful, year-in-and-y deco
ration for ii hat there is nothing equal to
the pretty little wings that are brought
ont i'll such variety. Dampness and dust
seem to have no effect on Them and they
are always stylish as well as convenient.

of his later literary work is instinct with
true and delicate sentiment. such as is
expressed in the poem entitled "Yearn-
ing For Home" from which two stanzas
are here reproduced:
II comes TO me often in silence.
When the freight sputters low
When the black. uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths of the long ago.
Always with a throb Of heartache
That thrills each pulsive vein
Comes the old. unquiet longing
For the peace of home again.
Outside Of my darkening window
II the great worlds crash and din.
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting, drifting in
Sobbing. the night wind murmurs
To the splash OF the autumn rain.
But dream OF the glorious greeting
When go home again.

sity of Missouri at Columbia, that state,
and there met a young man named Com
stock. They became 'chums" and de-
cided to travel together for year in Eu-
rope. Before the journey was begun
young Field accepted an invitation to
make few weeks visit at the Comstock
home in st. Joseph. His friend had five
sisters Of such SURPRISING fairness that
they were known and are remembered a.
'the pretty Comstock girls"
The second of these young ladies, Julia
Sutherland Comstock, was then only 10
years Of age, but Eugene fell In love
with her at once and in earnest, and be-

brother had proposed and was accepted.
Before the two had reached the Atlantic
coast young Comstock missed his travel
ing companion. Investigation showed
that he had returned TO St. Joseph to bid
his sweetheart another and longer fare
well The European tour was finally
undertaken six months afterward, but
was cut short because Of the late start.
Upon his return from his foreign trip
Mr.. Field insisted on an immediate mar

Ber's Moods and Intentions His Progress
Up the Ladder Of Fame--ExampIe Of
His More serious Verse.
They say Of Eugene Field. the Chicago
poet, that he changes his ink with his
varying moods and intentions. If he is
blue, the story goes, and does not intend
10 labor long when he seats himself at
his desk, he uses writing fluid Of deep
azure hue; If he is in fine fettle and pur-
poses doing quantity Of his best work.
he dips his magic pen into ink Of a mid

write a love song, delicate mauve is
chosen; If sarcasm and Tidicule are to
flow from his pens tip, the color selected
Is most sanguinary carmine. The
present writer cannot vouch for the
truth Of this story, but there is no doubt
that Mr.. Field is a man Of many con-
ceits and unusual ways-ways that may
almost be termed eccentricities.
Eugene Fields life has not been a mo
notonous one. He Is native of st.
Louis and was born Sept. 3, 1850, but he
passed most of his boyhood days at the
home Of his cousin, Miss Mary Field
French, in Amherst, Mass. OF the de-
tails Of his youth there is not much re-
