| wish to make mention Of little thing
in itself, but one Of those trifes that go TO
make a thing absolutely perfect-that is,
that the 1880 ladies carry loosely in their
hands, held by the center, a tiny lace or EN-
brodered handkerchief Some Of these are
lust too cute for anything being hardly
more than foot square. Some are of sheer
white cambria, with lace borders, and 9TH
ers have embroidered edges. with a few
narrow tucks above: others are Of colored
batiste, with edging OF valenciennes. These
match the principal colors of the season and
can be worn with gowns of that color. /

Some of our largest and best houses are
making specialties of ladies' waists in such
styles and colors as will allow Of their be

one lady who has seven waists to one rich
black ribbed silk. Some are loose and of
surah, but the majority of them are Of
richer material and more dressy in form
and trim, for. do all you can, you cannot
make a colored figured blouse look dressy.

entirely too trying to remain popular long.

Cramp has travelled extensively in for

He dresses in conventional business style
and usually wears a high hat.
Since the downfall Of John Roach's
firm at Chester. Pa, the Cramps are
known rs the largest shipbuilders in the
country. The firm has been eminently
successful in its enterprises and has not
only built the fastest cruisers in our new
navy, but has turned out many private
yachts celebrated for their elegance and
speed, including Jay Gould's Atalanta,
Astors Nourmahal. Vanderbilt's Alva
and Benefits Noumania.
Mr.. w. II. Cramp, one of the junior
members Of the firm, looks after the
yards and has charge of the 1900 mer
employed there. The yards occupy about
$50 acres and are entirely covered by
shipways, machine shops, foundries and
sheds.

Ialways thought that white embroideries
for gowns were too pretty to be forgotten,
and some Of the very daintest and most
elegant new summer frocks are Of ''all
over" embroideries, with 2-inch ribbon to
suit the complexion used in profusion.
Nothing could make a handsomer or more
useful gown for warm summer days.
Those most novel in design have the bot
tom worked out in imitation of honiton
point, and all over the rest are detached
designs in the same pattern. There are
several varieties of these, and they come
out just now as high novelties
And it is odd, isn't it, to see right by the
side of one Of these dainty white gossamer-
like dresses a plain, rigid tailor gown Of
black, dark blue or gray cheviot, absolute

of the same stuff
There are always women who delight in
just such gown, and you will find them
so habited on the warmest day. They are
so serene and satisfied in theirtailor gowns,

them, that | involuntarily think Of a man
who asked his wife if she did not think that

So, then, like Count Smorltork, we may
say thick cbeviot tailor gowns are worn, as
we have seen a few, and search no further.

Mr.. Jones was practicing surgeon in
London for upward Of 90 years. He
evinced his fondness for cards and other
games early in life and admits that dur
ing his school days he was more conspic-
uous in the playground than the class
room. He studied surgery at st. Bar
tholomew's hospital, London, serving as
assistant for year to that eminent sur
geon, Sir William Lawrence, Bart, and
passing his final examinations immedi-
ately after he reached his majority.
He devoted much of his leisure to the
study Of his fayorite game, and as long
ago as 1854 formed the Little School Of
Whist" the records and notes Of which
enabled him to comply in 1862 with Dr.
Poles suggestion that a book giving the
best possible play of a series of hands
would be Of great value to the whist
world. The result of that suggestion
was "Cavendish on Whist" the publica-
ton Of which introduced Mr.. Jones to a
literary career that finally led him to re-
sign his surgical practice entirely.
Cavendish is a native of London and
about GO years Of age. He is of a genial
disposition and very jocular. His facul-
ties are extremely well balanced, and his
mind is decidedly Of philosophical turn
with a great capacity for observing, de-
hberating and drawing rational con-
illusions.

Cramp Sons Shipyards, Where Our Fast

Since the United States has begun to
make pretensions as n naval power the
American people have acquired lively
interest in naval architecture and can
give You offhand an elucidation of all
the points of difference between a cruiser
and a line Of battle ship and an accurate
comparison of the naval strength of the
great nations of the earth. To these
nautical amateurs a most interesting in
stitution is the great shipbuilding yards
of William Cramp 6 Sons at Philadel-
phia, where many of our latest, largest
and fastest cruisers were constructed.
William Cramp, the founder of the
firm, commenced business in a modest
way in 1880, building wooden and steam
sailing vessels. Two sons, Charles II.
and William NJ. Cramp, were admitted
into partnership in 1851, and in 1868 three
younger Cramps became members of the
firm. Mr.. Charles H. Cramp stands at
the head of the firm as at present organ

of the firm-a very important depart

1t is said that there are authors who
write about whist much better than they
can play the game, and it is certain there
are players who play whist much better
than they can write about it. Henry
Jones of London, who is travelling in
the United States just now, and who has
achieved a worldwide reputation as the
author of "Cavendish ON Whist" be-
longs to neither of these classes, for he
writes about the game and plays it equal

magnificent style from the Capitol

THE CABINE EFT.

President Clevelaud's cabinet as
completed is composed as follows:
Walter O. Gresham, of Indiana,
Secretary of State.
John G.. Carlisle, OF Kentucky, Sec
rotary of the Treasury.
Daniel S. Lamont, Of New York,
Secretary of War.
Hilary A. Herbert, Of Alabama,
Secretary of the Navy.
Hoke Smith, Of Georgia. Secretary
Of the Interior.
J. Sterling Morton, Of Nebraska,
Secretary of Agriculture.
Wilson S. Bissell, of New York
Postmaster General.
Richard Olney, of Massachusetts,,
Attorney General.
No fault can be found in the geo
graphical distribution Of these offices.
The South gets three places, the West
two, the North two and the East one.
There is apparently not weak man
in the cabinet. Those whose public
records are known, as Carlisle, Gresh
am and Herbert, are men who stand
highest in ability and craftsmanship.
The others, OF course, are yet to be
tried in the crucible of public opinion,
but there is no reason to fear that
they will not prove efficient and capa-
BILE men.
1t will be observed that the Presi
dent has been actuated by the high
est motives in the selection OF his
cabinet. He has not chosen men
simply from politica! standpoint ,
but because he believes them to be
worthy of the places to which he has
called them. We believe he has got
around him the men who will make
an administration that will be APP
proved by the country and the Demo
cratic party.
