Advertising As q Pill.

Most of the bowling about advertising
not paying, is done by men who have
done little or none of it. They at one
time in their lives perhaps, took one
small pill of advertising and because 1t
did not effect complete cure of their
malady dull times; they threw away the
box and refused to take any more. The
men who use up box after box of these
advertising pills arc those who enjoy the
most robust and vigorous commercial
health, and who are lining their pockets

CHATTER III.

Tom soon began to grow rich-on the
brokers' books-and felt justified in
! calling frequently upon Miss Raytham
Slowly he ceased to fear Straighten as a
rival sometimes he met him at Miss
Raytham's and the little fellow certainly
was very attentive, but Tom could not
sec that the girl regarded him with Il
sentiment stronger than friendship;
still, girls like Miss Raytham were not
likly to give themselves away in public
Tom would willingly have been satisfied
with his own chances did he not often
see that nquiring look in the little fcl-
lows eyes-a look which apparently was
trying to discover Toms intentions. He
mentally cursed the little fellows impu-
dence and wished that public sentiment
did not discountance boxing the ears of
man who was too religious to resist
and too weak to Fl .ht

Tom did so well in Wall street that
luck-penny, and all that sort of thing.
Tom resolved that when his gains
reached a hundred thousand dollars he
would dare PROPOSE for the income of
that amount added to that which he an.
nually received would enable him to
maintain wife according to the style of
the Raythams' set. 1t looked like a
great deal Of money to expect, but had
not certain other men, who had recently
started on small capital, made even more
in single year? If not, then Broker
BlOggs and many other Wall street men
lied. Besides, Tom was not confining
himself to his original venture of IA
thousand dollars; he had put his entire
capital into different ventures; he
studied "the street" closely and was sure
he knew what would go up, what go
down.
Broker Bloggs humoyed him until he
discovered that all of Toms money had
passed into his hands for use: then that

venture everything on the tremendous
plunge into c., Il. 4 A preferred, which

OF Baltimore, daughter of the great rail

of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
system. Miss Garrett makes her home
in Baltimore, but she spends much of
her time in New York, and every sum-

maid and q ute independently she travels
from one place to another. She is
woman of gentle breeding and possessed
OF great knowledge, not only of affairs
in this country but in Europe. She
speaks halfa dozen languages 1luently
and is said to be a walking Poor's Man

her fathers love for the railroad business.
and is acquainted with every detail of
the great company which her father
founded. She is well posted, too, on
what other railroads are doing, and she
is so keen in hcr judgement of railroad
securities that she has made a great
fortune for herself by judicous invest

She has not ono mannish characteristic.

FASHION NOTES.

Beaded hand bags are in style again.
| Ribbon-run tablecloths have had their
day and the pink and yellow teas are
out Of date.
Some OF the gold hairpins worn every
day by fortunate women cost $50. Tho
ornamcnted tops are made of fourteen
karat gold, hand carved.
Slumber gowns and pettiooats are
worn like ballet dancers skirts, with
two deep flounces much be-ruffled with
lace.
Marie Antoinctte fichus in black silk
muslin, plain or edged with white lace,
and white or tinted gauze fichus arc

In any material. Choose a shade which
the gasight softens to bccomingness
Black and white striped silk waists,
called "magpie" blouscs. are worn with
black skirts.
Waistcoats of ribbon are Just appear
ing in the shops. They are made Of seven
ribbons stitched together, with over.
tapping edges, three for the back and
four for the front, and are fastened in.
vlslbly at the left side. Worn beneath
an Elton or Bolcro jacket they look bright
and pretty.
The soft, uncrushable and durable
regence silk is much used for costumes
OF ceremony. Brocaded rcgence silk is
quite new and in many patterns is very
rich and handsome.
Hoop rings set with small colored
stones are the proper ones for young
girls.

red has the capes lined with r, d silk and
edged with finest cut jet trimmings in
applique.

fabric being of plain or mixed tweed or
hop sacking, with all the edges stitched
with heavy saddler's silk and with revers
and cape collar on the coat, the sleeves
Invariably of the large mutton-lcg shape.
The so called rough dress goods of the
season are really very soft to the touch
and exceedingly pliable, and it is this
that makes them SO popular.
Some of the stylish cloth Jackets are
finished with small Elton JACKET fronts
and full sleeves of velvet. A vivid
shade of green cloth trimmed with black
Trading and an edge of black fur forms
one of the novel coats made by Pingat.
The flaring cape collar is likewise
adorned.
Handsome visiting costumes of finest
ladies' cloth in black arc trimmed with
bands of cream white bcngaline or taffeta
silk laid under elaborate arabesque passe-
mcnteries of fine cut jet. Another

vine pattern, and made up with black
MORE trimmed with cut jet laid over
white lace insertion bands.

The First Menu Card.

1t was the Duke Henry of Brunswick who
was first observed in the intervals Of ban
quet to scan carefully a long strip Of paper
by the side of his plate, and when the curl
Gus guests ventured to inquire into the ma
ture of his studies he explained that it was
a sort of programme of the dishes which he
had commanded from the cook, to the in
tent that if some delicacy which especially
appealed to him were marked for a late
stage in the repast he might carefully re-
serve his appetite for it. The simplicity
and beauty of the idea appealed instantly
to the good dukes convives, and the menu
card from that moment became an institu-
tion.-Season.

In Venice and in England and imported at

QUANTITY VERSUS QUALITY.


Long years ago had by chance a tho '"ht-
A thoughtful thought IL was, as all agreed
And when in its totality twas caught
sat me down TO frame IL in screed.
Now, brevity, men say, 3 the soul of wit,
And hence 1 sought in writing to be brief.
In four strong lines l made my fancy fit,
And sent 1t out-and came, alasl to grief.
For years the unappreciated verse
Lay in my desk unheeded-nay, forgot.
But yesterday took that quatrain terse
And once more cast it in the smelling pot
wrote six hundred lines all featly rhymed,
And then an envoi holding sixty more.
The self same thought was there that once I'd
timed
So that twas clear in seconds three or four.
Again sent it forth. This time success
My efforts crowned, to my exceeding glee.
Yet was | saddened somewhat, confess,
To note the public's love for quantity,
And when a reader wrote to me to say:
There's lots of stuff in that. You've made

The Instinct OF Harmony In Color.

Some foreign writers on matters of art
insist that Americans have no idea of har-
mony in color and are almost lacking in
artistic appreciation 81 color effects The
explanation is that we are too busy to set
tie down selecting exact and harmonious
shades, and that in matters OF dress we sim
ply duplicate the colors worn in Paris, re-
gariless Of their suitability to our Ameri-
can atmosphere.
The ability to select harmonious shades
with an unerring instinct for proper effect
is largely a matter Of temperament, affected
more or less by climatic influences. Take
the people in semitropical regions. The
most fastidious artists have no fault to find
with the color relation between apparel
and background. 1t is said, for instance
that no two Moors will walk together on
the street If the colors of their robes are in
harmonious, Tor the Moor has an instructive
sense of color, The tiuts in the gown Of the
merchant are in perfect harmony with the
prevailing tones of his wares. An Ameri-
can would probably think he was straining
point if he took time TO regulate the color
of his attire by the prevailing tones in his
office or of the street in which he walks.
The fact is, the oriental does not take time
either to cultivate a taste for artistic effects
or to put in practice prescribed rules for
color effects. With him it is a matter Of
temperament. The colors of the Scotch
tartan, while very effective in the soft,
misty atmosphere of Scotland, look crude
and are consequently out of place in the
clear air of France or Italy.-New York

Latest Marine Disaster.

He is a skipper Of coasting schooner,
but he had a week of, and as dad was laid
up with rheumatic" he turned to and helped
out with the spring blowing. He found it
an altogether different job than blowing
the briny. His hitch was yoke of oxen
with the old mare on ahead, and this was a
combination that he had never handled be
fore. However, with boy to drive. he
pitched in heroically. When the crash came.
it was ademoralizing one. One OK got his leg
over the chain, whirled around and slipped
down a side hill. The other OK Topped over
its mate with a crash, and the mare was
pulled down on her launches and sat like
Towser on a doorstep.
When the captain went to the rescue, he
was kicked about 10 feet by one of the
PROSTATE, struggling oxen. The panic was
complete. and the skipper flew into the
house as rapidly as his wind would allow.
Here's how he breathlessly sized up the
difficulty to dad: Say, the larboard OK Is

board, and the old mares gone down stern
