ought to be. This is worn at night,

Trimming summer Hats.


Green rough straw h~ats..are trimmed
with a loose twist Of brown
satin ribbon, which is tied at the
back in a large Alsatian bow, writes
Emma M. Hooper. in a practical
article on 1.-THE Art of Trimming a
Hat in the Ladies' Home Journal.
In front there is a bow of three
c0lors; a loop of cream-colored rib
bon over the brim, and pointed end
up, knotted in the center with green;
close against this the same effect in
b own and tan, and then one OF
green knotted with cream, with a
large spray of pink rosebuds and
b ownish leaves at the back of the
e ect ends. AT the back there is a
! osette Of brown buds dropping over
the hair. Black hats have a bow of
green velvet. two loops forward, two
pointed ends on the left, sprays OF
mignOnette in front and dropping
low at the back, while the right side
has an Alsatian bow Of Magenta
MORE ribbon and two fans Of cream
guipure lace. For a white hat OF
large size, a LeghOrn or ecru straw,
there is an immense yellow velvet
Alsatian bow at the back; in front a
bunch of yellow, lavender, and golden
brown chrysanthemums; under the
upturned brim OF the left and back
OF the hat are shaded viOletS falling
like fringe over the hair.

Useless to

Years ago. when Tom Thumb was
Barnum's only attraction, he went to
Saratoga and attempted to give IN
entertainment. The village fathers,
however, scared him away by the
price of their license, and he went to
Ballston, the next town, and adver-
tised the performance. A special
train was u from Saratoga and a
great many went down on it. When
the curtain went up, Barnum came
out and made a little speech.
"Ladies and gentlemen" he began,
tit was my first intention to give
this entertainment in Saratoga, but
l soon discovered that there were
some men in that place so much
smaller than my famous Tom Thumb,
that it would be useless to attempt
competition with them.

One of Women's WEAPONS.

Among the more delicate weapons
used by women tact is one Of the
most etfective-the power of listen
ing, Of Frightening at the proper
moment. and laughing at the right
joke, and of knowing the exact tenn
per in which a man is conQuerable,
and when it is best to let him alone,
writes Amelia E. Barr in the Ladies'
II me Journal. A woman who pos
sesses this weap n generally rules by
that fine instinct which strengthens
her own position by strengthening
her husbands. 1t is Il feminine
weapon guided by a multitude of
little VISIONS and precautions, and
by arts as varied as the sex. 1t rules
a man so gently that he is kept in
constant good humor with himself;
nor is he uncomfortably conscious
that he has laid down all his own
arms before this sheathed sword.
II there be any other weapon equal
to tact for domestic use it is silence.
In the hour OF revolt this force is
supreme.

The Original Sinner.

Man is the original u of sin,
writes Edward w. Box in an earnest
resume of "the social purity" ques-
tion in the June Home Journal.
That fact must never be forgotten.
Add if women will hold men up to
their moral obligations in a stricter
sense than they now do the world
will be relieved of much OF it's un-
happiness. A higher moral stand
ard, not attained by laws, but by the
inculcation of higher principles and
sentiments among the people, is the
che and only solution of the social
purity problem.

but it died away as he commenced to
play.
He sermed to waver on the strings
for a moment as If undecided what to
play, then unconsciously he closed
his eyes and fell into a reverie, and
as he did so played. The notes
thrilled through the room, soft and
sweet for a while, then they changed
into the saddest notes you ever heard
full OF %plaintive regret. The bow
seemed to be charmed-the instru-
ment to speak-to speak to the heart,
Tor many in the room wept.
For a moment after he ceased to
play there was a profound silence.
Every one seemed to be speeches.,
awed by what they had heard. All
at once the spell was broken by cries
bravo" and by loud clapping.
The fiddler scarce heard the ap-
plause. He bowed awkwardly to the
audience-but he only saw a pale
little form lying upon a bed and
nothing else.
He played again and again, but
although each piece vas enthusi-
astically received, none toJk so we'll

position.
The host detained the fiddler after
the guests had departed.
IL shall have you playing solos at
the great concerts" he said t. the
fiddler, in his peculiar, abrupt mau-
ner.
The f1ddler's heart beat fast.
"lou can never rise in that
wretched theater. You should be
playing to those who can understand
you. What do you gain from the
theater:?"

gagement. There is a peculiar power
in your music-a strange, deep power
which produces tears. You saw them

When the fiddler reached his mean
and shabby home the G ay spectral
light OF morning Was beginning to
steal into the room.
He met the nurse on the stairs.
She turned her back toward him and
hid he. lace in he. hands.
He lelt as if his heart had turned
into ice as he mounted the stairs in
silence.
Helen lay on the bed dead.
Poo. little withered flower!
The fiddler stood tor a long time
holding the little wasted hand in his.
All at once his hand went to his
breast pocket and his fingers closed
over an envelope, which the old gen.
tleman had given him. Mechanically
he tore it open; two f5 notes fell on
the foo at his feet. With a smoth-
cred cry of agony he 1ell upon his
knees and sobbed aloud. What was
money to him now? Would it re.
store the little wasted fC III to life?

He was terribly calm. His face was

Startled the DudeleCs.

The other day a Young man wanted
a ! air 0 ev, ming gloves late at night.
and had to 20 over to Sixth avenue
to get them, says the New York
Press. There was nothing of his size
in sto k but a pair o. white gloves,

However, he Was a dan ling man an !

gloves, and in due course o time led

chapDies were astounded. Nobody
could question this mans irreproa h
able taste, and in fat he was some-
thing of a leader o. fashion. After
suppet a breathless depuUation waited
upon him to know whether or not
white gloves had come back again.
'I'm wearing them, myself, YOU
see, dear boy" he said, jokingIy, but
with a slightly superior smile. II
haven't really heard whether the
prince has found it out yet or not"
Now your true dude is not suscept-
ible to the liz of irony. Be-
sides, the de utation was tiustered at
the innovation. The result was that
they mixed those S eeches up and 10
half an hour everybody in the room
was saying that the Prin e of Wales
had taken to wearing white gloves in

Care of the Hair.

Do you know the roots of the hair
are each supplied with a blood vessel
Of it's own, and with proper nerves,
though the latter do not extend into
the hair itself? On the health of
the roots of the hair the whole growth
depends. On either side of the root,
and a little above it, are two small
glands, which Secrete an oily sub.
stance that gives gloss to the hair,
and the glands serve to protect the
roots or the hair from becoming
clogged with dust. Each separate
hair is a hollow tube, and through its
length is conveyed the food essential
to health and growth. The condi-
ton of the hair is generally a fair
indication Of the general constitu-
tiOn. When the skin is dry and hard
the hair is apt to be thin and harsh,
and as easily broken as a dry reed,
which it resembles.
Harsh rubbing is positively in
jourious to the hair. Gentle friction,
sufficient to excite the blood vessels,
without COMPRISING them, so to lead
TO engorgement, is all that is neces-
sary in the way Of capillary exercise.
The hair should not be washed more
than once Il week, and when soap is
used, a little vaseline should be
rubbed into the scalp to supply the
place of the natural oil that has been
taken away. 1t can be stated as a
curious fact in this connection, that
no matter what the color of the hair
may be in reflected light, all hair has
the same color in transmitte | light,
that is, red. One word OF advice:
Good health, as a rule, mean a
healthy condition of the hair. Many
people have the foolish habit of pull
ing out the first gray hairs that ap.
pear. Anything more foolish in this
connection could not be imagined.
They simply break OFF the hairs at
the roots, and the decayed nutriment
escapes, inoculating the other hair
in the vicinity, thus verifying the
truth of the old adage: "Klll one
gray hair, and ten other gray hairs
will come to the funeral"

fellows" in the set Of men who jest
with them, applauding their slang
and encouraging their manish pro-
pensiries. but never once dreaming
of marriage with even the most
brilliant or most admired of that pc
culiar kind OF creature who would
rather smoke a cigarette than eat a
bonbon.
Man wants an essentially wOmanly
woman for his wife. The clinging,
dep ndent little knOw-nOthing is
preferable, according to his way of
thinking, to a mOce brainy woman
of the self-reliant order, endowed
with masculine proclivities and pos
s ssed of views. H may think it
rare good fun to Jake out n of the
Jolly girls to supper, but he would
rather not have his mother or sister
hear the sallies of wit that he en-
cOurages or applauds in her.
Girls, do not try to he aught but
the essentially feminine. WOman's
natural instinct lies entirely in that
direction, and when she branches
out into some other line it proves
that in some curious way the pretty
blossom ng flower has been perverted
into a rank weed. 1t isn't funny or
clever to act in any other way than
the one which you know your mother
would approve. Brains are a bless
ing until they lead wOmankind out
of the paths which their Creator
meant for them to follow, paths in
which love, gentleness, modesty, and
sympathy are to be found growing on
every hand.
