'els wear hugo bows of many culors on
lowered lawns and organdies. If the
lower is a rosebud, then the bow must
have loops and ends of pink and green
in several shades, with a dash of white or
brown for back ground. Lace is always
acceptable on all materials, and the
yachting variety is decidedly alive, after
two seasons of popularity. Ginghams
are attractively trimmed with yachting
lace, three rutfies on the skirt, and bret
telles and sleeves of the lace.

We may feel very blithe and joyous,
for, those usual denominations, the sum-
mer wraps, this year are lovely. The
butterfly cape is the rage. The skirt is
very full, and ID made indifferently of
cloth, serge or bengaline. The collar is
invariably of velvet, black is mostly pre-
ferred, is lined with changeable silk and
stiffened with crinoiine. Those who pre-
fer more dressy wrap can have yoke
of open jet work, to which is gathered
heliotrope crepon lined with black satin,
and rows of satin ribbon edging. The
military cape is dear to the heart Of the
tailor made girl. 1t is a severely plain
garment, composed of three round capes
pinked at the edges.
The recent congress of women which
enlivened the windy city land a crusty,

city is not half so windy since that con-

futter by the glorious future awaiting
emancipated woman. All avocations are
now open; we may become doctors, law
yers, beggars, thieves; we may legislate,
ruminato, vegetate and in all be equal, if
not superior to that benighted being
man. The account of their proceedings
is awe inspiring. 1t makes one appre-
ciate the sensations of the old darkey
when he first saw the cable cars. "Fore
do Lawd, dem Yankees ia smart, sho! first
dey free de niggers, den dey 'mancipate
de mule"

Your vail of grief that the great and
only Whitaker has failed, and that the
lean brand of bacon ia no more, touched
me profoundly. Accept my coincidence.
And this reminds me of clever story
told of the same Whitaker. He lit ed in
magnificent mansion in a fashionable
quarter of st. Louis, and opposite, in an
un pretentious dwelling, Gen. Sherman re-
sided. A we'll known clergyman was
showing visiting friend the sights Of the
city, and coming to this corner, he ex-
planned that the palace belonged to the
millionaire pork-packer; the cottage to
the immortal warrior, and, he added
"How beautifully it is here illustrated
that, The pen is mightier than the
swcrd'." With much love, am always
your friend.

THE SANTA BE TABLE At TEE WORLDS
FAIR.
saw a $4,000 table, yesterday; says g
looker-on at the Worlds fair. It was
from Santa Fe, N. NJ. The table was
made of the metals found in Santa FL
county, and was the design and work of 6
| jeweler in the town. In the center wal
the Mexican coat-of-arms (the little eagle
of Mexico absorbed by that of the United
States) in gold, and around it we're fill
gree silver supporting garnets and tur
quoise, and historical pictures engraved
on silver plates. A copper band around
the top contrasted beautifully with the
white silver, rich gold and jewels.
The turqoise found in New Mexico il
pronounced by Tiffany to be the best If
| INC nArkeI. 1nut III tn0 GhDl0 IL very
pure in color and perfect in shape. The
garnets are as perfectly cut as the fnest
rubies, and look much more like rubies
but Mrs. Bartlett, the lady manager from
New Mexico, said they were garnets.
In one of tho silver plates is a design
of the old palace, which is the home o.
the governor, and the room where Gen
Lew Wallace wrote "Ben Hur," is plainly
visible, or rather the windows of the
room are special feature of the plate
The ladies of Santa Fe take special pride
in the table for the reason that it is in
material, work and design, the product
of their town. The Woman's Board Of
Trade is most powerful factor in the
town of 1000 or 5000 inhabitants. 1t il
organized and incorporated to promote
any business interest, either for men OF
women. Mending is done, servants furn
ished, strangers taken care of and en-
ployment found.-Cincinnat Enquirer
