Do you know what the girls do on
rainy days and days when it's posi-
lively too warm to go anywhere?
They play at making Jokes for
coming brides. The pale silk shirts
now in favor have pretty crocheted
yokes inserted made Of wheels and
open-worll designs. And each girl has
started one for her own particular dear
friend. Most Of them are in two
shades-pink and white. violet and
white, and so on. They've all taken
lessons on the stitch, and are enthusi-
astic over the small wheels; but, dear
mel it takes so long, you know, TO
make one wheel, and each yoke re-
Quires such number of those little

embroidery, set IN above the hem. The
dress was faint old rose chambray,
and the silk beneath the embroidery

showing the same open band, and 2

How the bathing girl concocts
schemes to make herself look irresisti-

fectly charming when she starts out,
and before the water has splashed over
her. Bat once let her get beneath
those great waves and she comes up
looking somewhat fOrlorn no matter
how Jaunty her costume. But we must
except the girl who is so fortunate as
TO possess hair that curls up all about
her head as soon as the water touches
it. That girl need spend but little
thought about her suit, for she can
well afford to keep it under water and
let only her curling locks appear while
she floats and swims in perfect free
dom. 1t is the girl whose hair falls
about her in ugly strings that is always
afraid of getting wet, and is always
getting in near the beach. She labors
with that willful head and adjusts it in
many ways before you ever catch a
glimpse Of her. First she knots it
tightly beneath her cap, and then
decides that she looks frightfully Sc

Then the bundle was opened and
found to contain a miscellaneous col

and the iron pipes were given TO the
experts Of the department for analysis.
They took them TO pier on the Har-

Kelly was brought up in court next
day, and was remanded, pending the
capture of the stranger who had run

out of the sweat box and came up to
face the outraged majesty Of the law
in the judicial ring, about twenty
pounds under weight.
The damning facts as observed BY
Officer Mulligan were shown TO the sat-
isfactiOn of the court. There was no
question that Kelly had been caught
IN the midst of his horrible plot to
blow up somebody. The deadly gas
pipe had been found in his possession.
Then one Of the jurors ventured to
inquire what the deadly gas pipe
had been loaded with The police
man. who happened to be On the wit
ness stand at the time, replied that he
didn't know. The bombs had been
given TO the departments expert. Upon
this the experts were called, and they
testified that they had been unable to
discover what the pieces of pipe con-
contained. Most of them had not con-
tanned anything.

The experts replied that they were
at the bottom of the Hudson river. No
satisfactory explanation of this extra
ordinary fact cosld be given. Whether
the experts had considered that that
was the safest place for them, or
whether they had been thrown into the
river in the course of some abstruce
