Tennis is not game where women
can excel over men. They may play
beautifully. as many of them do, but
1t is emphatically mans game, and
while of course many women will con-
tinue to play it there is not nearly the
same excitement about it as there was
a few years ago.
India silk dresses are very nice to
play tennis in. The prettiest 1 ever saw
was worn by a Miss Nichol at Nara
gansett Pier. The gown was made of
two pieces, skirt and waist, of very
soft India silk, or perhaps wash silk,
of white, with a hair line of red.
The skirt was shirred over the hips
with eight rows of shirring. Over each
row of shirring was sewed white bead
ing, through which was run a narrow
red ribbon. which was fastened at the
side with a perky little bow. The
waist had shirred yoke with the
beading and ribbons to match the
skirt, while the sleeve was finished at
the waist in the same way. The dress
was deliciously cool and washed like
piece Of white cotton.

AMERICAN PRuDERY.

Mr. Frederick Locker in his Patch
work. tells story in Illustration of the
unwillingness among certain circles to
allude to such a thing as a leg. A girl
goes in hot haste TO fetch a doctor for
her sister, who, she says, has broken a
limb
(which limb is it?p says the doctor.
''Oh, can't tell you which limb" says
the girl.
But you must replies the doctor.
Hang it, is it the limb she threads her
needle with?''

lieved, its the limb she wears her gar

are excellent things for tennis. They,
too, must be made with full skirts. not
too full, for fear of making them
heavy, and with the full blouse sailor
collar, is a very good way to make a
waist of a tennis suit.
The Misses Roosevelt, who are ac-
knowledged to be almost, if not the
best. PLAYERS in the country, wear in
variably blue serge skirts and white
muslin or silk shirt waists. The
sleeves, finished with a cuff, are wide
enough to admit the elbow, so that
the muscles of the arm can get full
play.
A cap such as the boys call polo
cap is the favorite wear by champion
players. The sailor hat is a capital
thing if woman does not play except
for fun; for if light straw is chosen
and care taken that the hat fits well,
it is most becoming and shades the
eyes better than can anything else.
Tight-fitting waists are an impossi-
bility with good tennis playing. The
skirt waists are the best because they
can be worn with any kind Of skirt,
but / should advise any woman who
wanted to be comforta ble-and such a
thing is possible, strange as it seems,
in this pastime-to try the India silk
skirts and waists, or the silk skirts
and linen shirt waists 1t is great
mistake to get dark flannel or serge,
for it is really too warm and heavy,
and there is not the same sensation of
cleanliness as when the gown can be
put right into the tub each week, as in
the case of the wash silks and linens
1 saw at one of the Fifth avenue
shops the other day a very pretty
gown 1 was told was tennis gown. It
could not be worn for that more than
fifteen or twenty minutes without look
ing very badly, but it was a pretty
gown, all the same, made of brown
holland 1t had two bands on the skirt
of white linen: the waist made like
yachting blouse had deep sailor col
lar, cuffs, vest and belt of white linen.
The brown and white linen weresa very
pretty combination, and it looked very
smart indeed; but for the use the tailor
showed it, to my mind it was not in
the least suited. and I thought the
gown beside it. Of blue and white out
ing cloth, without trimming of any
kind, was, from its absolute fitness for
the purpose designated, infinitely more
chic

WHEN WOMEN TALK.

When women talk the air grows dense
With adjectives, profound. intense;
The sun is dimmed by brilliant wit,
All earth is vanquished, bit by bit,
And men in shivering silence sit,
When women talk.
When women talk all space is strewn
With clamoring voices out of tune;
Art, music, fashion reach their lips,
And from their dainty finger tips
In tattered shreds each subject drips,
When women talk.
When women talk sweet virtue pales,
And science in her armor quails;
Facts are dethroned by morbid doubt,
Established customs put to rout-
The world is turned inside out,
When women talk.
BY Woman.

brass ball finishes the end; over this is
thrown a long ruffled piece of dotted
muslin. This is drawn down at each
side. and fastened with ribbon bows to
a hook set in the wall.
1t is a pretty fancy to have the pill
low shams of the ruff1ed muslin to
match the drapery, with an over
spread for the bed itself, if one likes.

It produces an outline quite different

varies the dress and makes it serve

are worn that meet the short sleeves,
and for occasions where gloves are not
wanted, the long sleeve is put in. The

Our Republican friends may be
pleased to note that the balance of trade
continues in our favor During the 12
months ending June 30th our exports of
domestic merchandise aggregated in
value $3.50, 207,o4l; while our imports
only reached $685., 905, i51; q balance in
our favor of nearly S2i5,000,00o. As
compared with tho preceding l2 months,
these figures show an increase Of
S9s,0oo,000 in exports, and decrease
of S912, 0O0,0 900 in imports. Our Repub-
lican friends will, therefore, SEQ at a
glance that we have been phenomenally
prosperous; that is, If their theory that
the less we buy abroad the better we
are off be the correct one. They have
been dinning into our ears the dangers
of being swamped with cheap foreign
goods, II We cut down the Mckinley
tariff. Well, we have been living under
the Mckinley tariff; we have cut down
our foreign purchases enormously-25
per cent in single year-and how do
we like tue eXperienceg Have VIC
thriven under it2 If not, there must be
something wrong with this balance OF
trade theory.

GREAT FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.

The baseball Park Destroyed, and the
Omnibus stables and Thirteenth and
Fifteenth Streets Trolley Line Depot
Burned.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 6.-The
Philadelphia Base. ball Park, one of the
finest OF its kind in the country, is a
smoking wreck of crumbling walls,
charred timber and twisted iron, the
large stables of the Omnibus Company
General, adjoining to the west, is now
burning and the car stables OF the ghir-
teenth and Fifteenth streets division of
the Philadelphia Traction Co. and ad-
joining property are badly damaged.
The ball park is situated at the corner
of Broad and Huntingdon streets, close
TO the outskirts of the city. 1t had a
seating capacity Of about 5000, the
seats ranging from common centre at
Fifteenth and Huntingdon streets. The
grounds extend from Broad street to
Fifteenth, block to the west and from
Huntingdon street to Lehigh avenue, q
block to tho north.
The structure had all the attributes
Of handsome building, but being with
out walls, the fire, famed by the light
breeze, made the destruction Of this
pavilion matter OF but few moments,
and the airy galleries, light towers and
slender pillars of the supcr.structure
soon crashed to the street in ruins.
The stable of the Omnibus Company
General, which operates line of omni-
buses GU Broad street, was opposite the
main pavilion on Fifteenth street, at the
corner of Huntingdon.
II is an almost new building of brick
| nd 10 Ira
feet along Huntingdon street. 1t could
not long Withstand the blazing bonfire
of yellow pine opposite and the flames
rapidly spread to it.
The car house of the Thirteenth and
Fifteenth streets trolley line is at the
corner of Fifteenth street, opposite the
ball park on Huntington street. Ono
end of It's roof was destroyed, its win,
dow frames were burned, but the fire
men prevented the building from being
consumed.
The summer garden Of James ]
Boyle, opposite the park, at the corneI
of Broad and Huntingdon streets, was
also slightly damaged by the scorching
heat, but the loss here will be trifling.
The loss is likely to aggregate several
hundred thousand dollars. The origina
improvements on the ball ground cos
$4,000 and most of this sum has beer
lost.
The heaviest stockholders in tn
company arc Col. John |, Rodgers, 1t
president, and A. j. Reach, the well
known dealer in sporting goods. |
was said at the ball park that both o
these gentlemen were out of town.
Many of the players lost their suits
while Others had an opportunity t,
save them. This loss will be tritling.

choppy sea like duck. Her machinery
worked admirably.
As the Ida entered the Baltimore har-
Dor all passing steam vessels saluted the
new boat. On February 10Th the steamer
bearing the name OF the Ida was burned
to the waters edge. The hull was towed
to Wilmington, Del, and the steamer
was rebuilt. While the dimensions Of
the new steamer have not been changed,
she contains number of additions and
improvements which make her vastly
superior to the old Ida.
On the forward main deck especial
attention has been given to freight

II is rather rough upon the tillers of
the soil, but NJ. II. Human, who runs a
creamery at Fremont, Nebraska, in
forms the Senate finance committee, in
the latest bulletin of replies to tariff
inquiries, that "the farmers and Popu-
lists of this section are more prosperous,
with less capital and brains invested,
than any other class of people, and yet
it seems impossible to satisfy them. "
Mr., Human attributes the depression
to the attitude Of labor organizations
which discourages men of means from
investing "their surplus capital in any
enterprise where there is the least
probability that the business will be
dictated to or controlled by the labor
element. They prefer to, and do" he
adds, "invest their surplus money in
two or three per cent interest bearing
bonds, where they are sure of theii
dividends. rather than in twelve pei
cent stock, where there is so much un
certainty in regard to their being ablC
to control it against the wishes of thu
organized labor element"
