 A real taking, loveable gown was marked fifteen dollars-and wasn't ex- pensive, considering its makeup. The material was beautiful lavender China silk, and It was plaited into fine tucks. The tucks fell both back and front, from the neck half way down the gown. then the silk spread out in simple lines. The round neck, the front and the ful1, dropping sleeves, were all trimmed with pure white net lace, about four inches wide. The whole effect was so simple and dainty, that one was drawn toward that laven. der bit of loveliness
 Another airy silk wrapper is made of exquisitely fine, thin silk of pale blue tint. Valenoiennes lace Is put on about the bottom, in deep points headed with aA insertion of the same pattern.

Ended in a Blaze of Glory.

! Leaving aside material considera- tions, the destruction by fire of the principal worlds fair buildings. is not to be deplored. If ever a grand enter prise went out in blaze of glory it was the Columbian exposition. Those who saw one building after another yield to the fury of the flames beheld the spectacle of lifetime. When the great dome of the Administration building fell the noise of the flames was drowned by the groans of thou sands of spectators. And after this crowning glory of fair architecture had departed the populace watched, with .wonderment and awe, the final catas- trophe-the destruction of the great Manufactures building. In three hours the work of years had gone up in smoke-a bit of fairyland changed into 8 vast field of cinders Sic transit gloria mundi. But the grandeur of the end will never be forgotten.

They remember how the told man, as be is affectionate- ly alluded to by every one, used to capture his wickets in the old days, and they arc anxious to see how the ''youngsters" will shape against him.

dUo ZIMMERMAN tl0n Tn New Ork at the head of the United Schuetzen corps, he wore only the choicest and richest of his trophies, yet his stalwart figure seemed to be literally weighted down with the glittering evidences of his skill Had he worn half the medals of his collection he would have appeared as if coated, like the knights of old, in jeweled mail. In addi- tion to the medals, Zimmerman has about as many cases of cups and other silverware as may be seen in the average jewelry store.
 One of his first big victories was the making of 2,604 bullseyes at a German hospital fair in New York city in 1889. The same year he won the Tiffany cup at Creedmoor. Another notable achievement of Zimmerman was also made in New York. In match against Professor Hoe fie he fired necessarily for three hours, shooting 1000 times over 500 foot range. Zimmerman won, the prize being grand piano of exceptional valuo. In spite of the great number of his conquests he is as pleased as a schoolboy with each new sue cess.
 On his present trip he has won distinc- tion at the grand tournament at Mainz. He has been in similar contests at Bremen, Hamburg, Bingen- -on-the- Rhine and be- fore he returns intends to take part in the big international contest at Lyons, France. When he comes back, many 'stein" of Coburger will be drunk to St. Sebastian, the patron saint of the Schuetzen corps, and to Zimmerman, the Schuetzen king.

pictures and such things. Don't be afraid to tack up pictures because they are not beautifully framed The pretty art supplements that all the publica- tions are giving out nowadays do very well, and don't require frames. Tack them up all over, with some photos and light scarfs. Then when you sit down In the cozy old chair, and it's too warm to read, all you need to do to be per fectly happy Is to loll lazily back, look at your pretty walls, and sip your glass of lemon ade. You will find this sufficient occupation for warm day, and far more beneficial than engaging in some vigorous athletic exercises, which ex- haust the little strength In you. A de- hghtful thing to have around you for drowsy moods is one of those new sofa pillows that are made of common pine shavings The shavings have been dyed and twisted, then braided into a basket pattern like coarse canvas
 They are bound with soft linen to hold them together we'll These pillows cost about two dollars and fifty cents, ard suppose you can make them up for less if you are able to buy the pine
 llavings after they have been pre- pared Tho pillows are puton the floor or on the old easy chair. They were made originally for yachts, but are just as pretty for the summer bed room. Green and white Is the favorite combination, and this is also the cool est and brightest for the eummer room.

We are all aware of the fact that innumerable articles have been written for the benefit of the unfortunate city girl who is unable to leave town for the summer months, and spend her va cation in those delightful spots so idealized by printed circulars and rail road guides; yet in the face of this fact shall make bold to preface my fashion remarks by few words of en- oouragement and advice to this self same girl. In the first place, let her not begin by thinking her lot hard one. On a genuinely hot day, there is surely nothing warmer than the room of summer hotel. There isn't breath of air anywhere, not even on the pleas ant piazza where the old ladies sit with their knitting. It is positively too warm to plan or execute any expe- dition; for dressing, hot ride through the broiling sun before the place could be reached, getting up luncheon, and all that sort of thing, is worse than sitting quietly in ones room and en- during the heat with the best possible grace.
 And there Is no room so pleasant at such time as this, than the room you are quite at home in. The room with your own favorite, worn-out, comfort able chair in, where you may stretch yourself out regardless of decorous, ladylike attitudes, prop your elbowsup and read or do nothing.
 If you have such room, and must stay in it all summer, start right now to make 1t as bright and cool looking as you can. Remove all the dark hang ings or somber pictures, and drape 1t with plenty of white, light material dotted Swiss is cheap and effective. Cover the walls with bright flower

 properly regulating the action of their bow els they would have less frequent occasion to call for their doctors services to subdue attacks of dangerous diseases.
 That, of oil known agents to accomplish this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are upequared, is proven by the fact that once used, they are always in favor. Their secondary effect is to keep the bowels open and regular, not to further constipate, as is the case vith other pills Hence, their great popularity with sufferers from habitual con- l;tipation, piles and indigestion.

Strawberries as Medicine.

Eat all the strawberries you can. They are most excellent medicine, to say nothing of their nutritive qualities Do with less meat and spend the money for strawber- ries while they last. They are splendid complexion purifier when eaten in quan- titles, and some celebrated beauties have taken what they believe to be beneficial baths in crushed strawberries. They make a good acid wash for the face and fine dentifrice for the teeth.-Philadelph Times.
