gown, but it is safe to have
one general all-round affair of
mixed tweed, made very ship-shape
and to be worn with anything. FASH

these economies, but practice them as
long as you can, SO as to encourage
tho. who are obliged to. This Jacket
would be better rather long, double

sketched here is In dark mode cloth
trimmed with dark-green silk. 1t is
tight fitting and is finished by a circu-
lar basque garnished with silk in the
manner shown. The garment hooks

lar to which silk loops with pointed
ends are attached, the points reaching
to the waist line. The sleeves are fin
ished with pointed silk cuffs.
White gloves are again the thing for
the street with the present change of
gowns. 1t is also true that you may
use your old-time long white gloves on
the street. The glace kid is in the
better taste, and twenty-button length
may be used with ginghams or with
any but dark-cloth gowns Now that
long evening gloves are not in vogue
for evening wear, you can often get
long white gloves as cheap as the
shorter street gloves For choice the
long whits glace kid is under the cir
cumstances the good bargain. 1t will
wear longer than shorter glove, be-
cause better kid is put into long than
into short gloves. Besides, white will

DYNAMITE'S INVENTOR.

He Loathes War and Hopes to Prevent 1t
with y Nation Destroying Compound.
sMr. Nc bel Is the mildest-mannered
man who ever discovered an explosive.
This gentleman, whose name as an ex-
pert was prominent during the recent
Cordite litigation, dwells in sunny,
peaceful villa at San Reno, and there
In the lap of luxuriant nature he
spends his time in designing awful
compounds, calculated to destroy whole
nations and alter the face of Mother
Earth at single discharge. This, in
deed. Is his ambition, for then, as Mr..
Nobel pertinently points out, war must
cease. He loathes war, says Black and
White, and has passionate desire to
put an end to the possibility of it.
Once let him produce an explosive OF
such overwhelming and irresistible
force that mankind refuses to face it,
once let battle mean absolute and cer-
tain death for everybody on both sides,
and the nations viii abandon war. We
hope Mr.. Nobel may live to prove the
truth of his assumption. But high ex-
plosives are MT for every hand and
should no longer be allowed to remain
within the reach of the mob. Until q
certain branch Of the patent office is
shut against the public, however, any
man from the street may consult the
formula for eTerv high explosive as
yet discovered. 1t is time that this
branch of human knowledge was rem
dered a little more difficult Of APP

For any but the most dressy wear OF
summer, jackets are more distinctly
the thing than are capes. The cape Is
all right for the elaborate occasions,
but for the street, the beach or the
usual country outing use the jacket
prevails. There is a tendency to have
gowns supplied with, their own jacket
to match, or, indeed, the jacket
constitutes the bodice OF the

The Gray Wolf of America.

OF the very few instances OF the
gray wolf attacking man, one Is relat-
ed by John Fannin. in the ever-inter-
esting columns Of Forest and Stream,
of Mr.. King, who was timber-hunt-
err in British Columbia. Once, when
travelling quite alone through an Inn
mense forest, searching for the best
timber, and camping wherever night
overlook him, Mr.. King suddenly
found himself surrounded by a pack Of
between forty and fifty gray wolves.
They thought they "had HIM foul, :"
and would lunch at his expense; hut
they made one slight mistake. In
stead of being armed only with an ak,
as they supposed, he had good re-
peating rifle and plenty of cartridges.
We'll, said Mr.. King, "the fight, il
it could be called one, lasted about half
an hour. Then a few of them broke
away into the timber and commenced
bowling, which had the effect of draw
ing the rest after them, when the
whole band started away on the full
jump, bowling as they went. found
sixteen of their number dead, and
probably not few we're wounded"
AS rule the gray wolf soon disap-
pears from settled regions. In the
United States there is probably not
one wolf to-day where twenty years
ago there were fifty. The killing of
the ranchmen's cattle, colts, and sheep
was not to he tolerated, and a bounty
was put on the gray VOLTS head, with
fatal effect. More deadly than the
steel trap or the Winchester, the
strychnine bottle was universally
brought to bear upon his most vulner-
able point-his ravenous appetite.
Even during the last days of the buffa-
10 in Montana, the hunters poisoned
wolves by hundreds for their pelts,
which were worth from S3 to SIS each.
Now it is very difficult matter to
find gray wolf, even in the wild West,
and in Montana and Wyoming they
are almost as scarce as bears.

The simplicity Of plan, and the
simple manner In which the design
expresses 1t, is fairly shown In the
picturesque exterior here illustrated;
its constructive features are fullyr rep
resented In the gables, cresting,
finals, chimneys and porches. The
house stands on brick underpln-
ming, and is good example Of one of
the half-timber and tile designs of
the Jacobite period, though, unlike
its prototype, shingles cut to pat
tern are substituted for tiles from
the second story up. The first story
shows what has the appearance of q
timber construction, although 1t Is
only formed in the ordinary manner
of finishing frame buildings, by con-
tinuing the belts through and con-
Meeting them with angle-boards, be-
ing clapboarded with narrow clap
boards between, in the customary
manner on frame buildings, the frame
being first sheathed, then covered
with waterproof paper.
The second story Is arranged so as
to form a hood over the first, being
furred out by nodded cornice about

Hoodwinked the Judge.

Lord Hammer, the distinguished En-
glish Judge, was never known to be
hoaxed but on one occasion. A jury
man, dressed in deep mourning, serious
and downcast in expression, stood up
and claimed exemption from service on
that day, as he was deeply interested
in funeral of a gentleman at which 1t
was his desire to be present. "Oh,
certainly" was the courteous reply OF
the Judge, and the sad man went. my

tie affairs made of wash lawns, daint-
lily finished with lace. The white lawn
tie of some time ago is revived, but
much elaborated. 1t may be in pink,
pale green, or yellow. 1t must be said
that the ties are becoming to most
faces, and that they give a look of
aaintiness to toilet that is especially
fetching in these days of tailor-made
seventies. Sometimes 1t seems as II
the wearer had forgotten that it was
possible to have them too large, but
exaggerations will creep into any

opens at the right front to show a

which hooks in the center of the front,

wa st. 1t has triple collarette Of

and cuffs OF white cl tn. The skirt
part is laid Ia wide box-pleat in front
and hooks invisibly, the left side OF the

With the cloth tailor-made are worn
heavy gloves and an English straw
walking hat, either with creased
crown or the newer bell-shaped box
crown, a jauntv and rather unbecom-
ing affair which Is just coming into
vogue. These hats should set we'll on

seems to believe that her hat has be-
ccme uncomfortably tiny. With the

out brim and with a roll OF the dress
material laid about II, a smart tie of
the same on one side, aud rose of just
the right color on the other side.
With the duck suit white sailor
trimmed with band of ribbon may be
worn. A great drooping leghorn with
its brim weighted into becoming curves
about your face by a wreath OF rich
roses is suitable with lawn dress. IL
you want to ecc nomize you may omit
the special hat for the bingham, and
wear the one planned for the duck.
That for the cloth dress will hardly do,
becau that ought to be dark, and hats
for wash dresses should be light.

flexible belt of silver Genes right under

this. The crepe is too fine to look full

back in a rosette, the silver belt being
partly hidden in the back and spanning
the waist prettily just below the sur
