chantilly lace and black satin ribbons.
The favorite combination this season
is white and black-that is, a white
ground with a hair stripe 0 black
through it.
The ribbons used on these gingham
gowns are as lavish as ones purse al
lows. Nothing is more summary In
effect than a mass of futtering ribbon
ends.
Satin ribbon is used entirely, some
times with a heavy corded edge. In
fact, out of the variety of the shops any
clever woman can make her summer
wardrobe attractive by a little discretion
and timely purchasing.

ably dresses her own dining room,
always placing a square tablecloth upon

A Brooklyn lady. living on the heights,
found out to her cost recently that it is
not always wise to criticise the seeming
neglect of others.
Calling not long ago upon somewhat
eccentric neighbor. who is known to pos
sess a very keen wit and sharp tongue,
she found her neighbor out.
She waited in the parlor few mo-
ments. however, while the servant went
up stairs to get book. An old fashioned
rosewood piano stood in one corner of
the room. which had not received much
needed touch Of dust brush that morn
ing
Upon the top Of TINS the visitor traced
for the servants benefit the not particu-
larly polite word, ''slattern." Shortly
afterward she left without meeting the
eccentric person.

APPENDICITIS IS POPULAR.
Nature of the Disease That of Late Has
Become Almost Fashionable.

Nature Of the Dtseas. That of Late II as
Become Almost Fashionable.
Not many years ago, Il tolerably com
mon report of the cause of death was
inflammation of the bowels It was a
pretty general term and has since been
little heard Of as different forms of
inflammation in the abdominal cavity
have become better known.
The most startling of all this is ap-
pendicitis, inflammation of the vermi-
form appendix, u useless and dangerous
closed pouch which projects from the
csecum. Almost concurrently with the
enormous advance in surgery, :'hich
makes opening the abdomen reasonably
safe instead Of almost certainly fatal,
there has been an enormous increase
in the number of cases Of this disease
reported by physicians. The disease has
acquired an interest that it could not
have while it was almost impossible
to treat it successfully. While only a
limited range of treatment was open
for any abdominal inflammation it
made little difference just where or
what the lesion was now there are every
reason to decide promptly aud accu-
rately and good hope of surgical cure
in this and some other affections of the
lower viscera.
At the same time, it is evident that
much remains to be learned as to this
particular affection. Until recently it
was usually supposed to proceed from
mechanical irritation of some indiges-
tibie substance which became fastened
in this slender blind passage. Now there
is germ theory for it. which gets
some support from the fact that occa-
sionally i'll true case of appendicitis
no foreign substance is found in the ap-
pendix. In the great majority of cases,
however, solid substance is found,
sometimes under circumstances which
make it impossible to doubt that it fur
nished the starting point for the attack.
There seems also to be distinct diff
ference of opinion among physicians as
to the length of time case may con-
tinue. Some say. or at least imply, that
u mild irritation may exist for weeks
CT months. while others consider that
the acute and brief stage is the only
one which deserves to be known under
the title of appendicitis s.-Eartford

about as follows: Five years ago he was

His reading made him so long for travel
that he ran away and went to sea
When he came home. his father took
him to Liverpool and bound him over
to a sea captain for voyage to and

900. But the news to this effect came
only very recently.
Young Stone wrote from Oakland to
his father several times, but received
no response, SO when Walter Seawell,
an Oakland contractor, left for visit
to England few months ago, he was
commissioned by the young man to hunt
up his father and see why he failed to
respond to the communications address,
ed to him. Mr.. Seawell found that the
elder Stone was dead and notified the
son of this fact and of the further fact
that he was no longer poor. The news
has since been confirmed by the British
consul of San Francisco. who advanced
young Stone the necessary coin to en-
able him to return to his English home.
