SIGNING THE DECLARATION.

Flies Pestered the Fathers of the Republic
as They Created 1t.
Jefferson was fond of telling ii story
which illustrates in a forcible manner
the Importance that absurdly insig1iif1-
cant matters may sometimes assume.
When the deliberative body that gave
the world the Declaration Of Independ-
ence was in session, its proceedings
were conducted in a hall close to which
was situated a livery stable. The
weather was warm, and from the stable
came swarms of flies that lighted On the
legs of the honorable members, and Bit
ing through the thin silk stockings then
in fashion gave infinite annoyance. 1t
was no uncommon sight, said Jefferson,
to see a member making a speech with
a large handkerchief in hand and paus-
ing at every moment to thrash the flies
from his thinly protected calves
The opinion of the body was not
unanimous in favor of the document,
and, under other circumstances, discus
sion might have been protracted for
days, if not weeks, but the flies were
intolerable Efforts were made to find
another hall, free from the pests, but in
vain. As the weather became warmer
the flies grew worse, and the tapping Of
handkerchiefs was heard all over the
hall as an accompaniment to the voices
of the speakers.
In despair at last some one suggested
that matters be hurried, so that the
body might adjourn and get away from
the flies. There were a few mild pro-
tests, but no one needed them, the i'm
mortal declaration was hurriedly copied,
and, with handkerchiefs in hand fight
ing flies as they came, the members
nastened up to the table to sign the au-
thentic copy and leave the flies in the
lurch.
Had it not been for the livery stable
and its inmates there is no telling when
the document would have been com
pleted, but it certainly would not have
been signed on the Fourth .-.Philadel-

LIP LANGUAGE THE NEW FAD.
England's Upper Ten Learning to
Speak without Articulat ting the Words

Lip language is understood. says the
London Graphic, to be the latest craze
which will occupy the spare time of society
in the place of banjo playing and skirt
dancing. Somebody once sang something
about
When meek gray eyes droop still more meek.
And dimples play at hide and seek,
There's but one language lips can speak;
'Tis brief, but rather pleasant.
Perchance we have all of US had some ex-
perience OF this kind in our time, but II Is
quite a different kind Of lip language that
am now alluding to. 1t is reading and un-
derstanding words shaped by the lips with
out articulation.
That this is possible is well known by the
efficient manner in which deaf actors have
been able to take their part on the stage, and
II people become proficient in the art, 1t will
be surprising how quiet society will become
Doubtless, life will be somewhat dull; but
at any rate, We shall be spared that per-
petuai babble and cackle which ofttimes
makes a dinner party so wearisome and we
shall get rid OF the roar and buzz Of over
crowded assemblies. If perfection is at
tained In the art with a couple OF good
opera glasses, people will be able to con-
verse when a considerable distance apart
The male practicers of the art will undoubt-
edly have to shave, and it will be a nice
point OF law to find whether slander or libel
conveyed by this silent system will be &c
t.onable or not. Probably the only people

loops for trimming. Another waist, that a
swell modiste made last week for travelling
dress. is of brown shot Louisine and brown
velvet in widely contrasting shades. The
yoke girdle and lower part of the sleeves
are of the velvet and the tiny IOque is
made to match the suit in shades of brown
A pretty little woman, whom i'll health
keeps indoors most of the time, wears the
daintiest blouse confections imagina BILE,
with nearly all her gowns. She is always
sleeveless camb-ic or silk waists on every
one of her dress skirts. These lift the
weight of her skirts from her hips to her
shoulders and keep them perfectly ad-
juSted, SO that there is no possible chance
fo- them to sag anywhere. Over these
waists she wears the blouse, belted lightly
down, and she is always picture TO look
at. because she is well put together.
This idea of a waist for the skirts of
women who are so slender that they have
no hips TO hold up their skirts is an excel
lent one. A new waist that has just been
made for this pretty woman is of hello
trope swivel silk. 1t has wide shoulder
ruffles of cream lace and full sleeves gath
cred in little puff at the wrist. As she is
quite thin the full putting of silk in front
is extremely becoming, also the fall of
lace from under the wide belt of heliotrope
attn.
1t is quite the thing to wear the blouse
effect in waists for theater and informal
evening dresses. A slim girlish figure
will look quite fetching in one made of
blush pink or yellow silk with a wide
bertha of lace, ruffle of silk below the
belt, and the lace falling back from the
arm just enough to suggest that there are
good points that remain uncovered. There
are fat old dowagers, however, who will
insist on adopting this style in all proba-
bility-blush pink and ALL in spite Of the
fact that no woman who has passed her
first youth should essay pink gowns, unless

small. The heads are the most troublesome.
If we only had some small eggs it would be
lovely. 1 should think pigeon eggs would
be just about right; but then We have none,
so We must try to think of something else"
why wouldn't a piece of an egg-shell do
for the face, and then cover up the edge
with the hafr?" 1 suggested, having hith-
erto been taking in all that was said. The
very thing" they cried; and so we all set
to work. We first visited the pantry and
selected a dozen light cream-colored eggs.
The longest ones we decided were the best
for our purpose. We then punctured them
at each end and easily blew out the inside
into cup. With our box of gay and deli
cate colored tissue paper, odds and ends of
crepe paper, a lot of cotton wadding, the
mucilage bottle and a sharp pair of scis-
sors we We're ready for the pleasant task of
making and dressing the dolls. First we
made ball of cotton for the head, and
glued on the piece Of shell we had cut from
the side of an egg; then a small piece of
cotton was fiuffed out and fastened on the
head. so as to completely cover the outline

The head was then securely glued to the

or as the face; the arms were made of
rolls of cotton and glued to each side in
the proper position; few stitches at the
wrists shaped the hands. When the skirts
were glued around the waist we found that
they were so stiff that the little ladies stood
up beautifully, and We gaily WED with each
other to see who could produce the best
effect. There were ladies of high and low
degree, and of all nationalities from the
peasant and merry little country lassies
to stately danes with powdered hair and
trailing gowns, and fair young maidens of
the present time, making a gorgeous and
beautiful array. Margaret's last creation
was pronounced the achievement par ex-
cellence A ladye of ye olden tyne and a

as she had true artistic skill she gave to
all the finishing touches with the aid Of
brush and water color-giving to each the
expression in eyes and features most ap-
propriate. They will make charming addi-
ton to our Easter luncheon as they stand

we were simply pining for something new.
While we were thus plunged in despair
