white ones are the best. The feather stitching
braids come in blue and pink and white and
are neat for finishing ruffls headings. There
are often pretty pieces Of lace with eyelet head
ings through which ribbon may be strung and
tied in little bows. Skirts made with a band
to button are much heater and more satisfactory
to most women than those which gather and
tie. All are fitted with cores and darts in the
front and sides.
Some graduating classes ere agreeing, just
among the girls not to wear gloves, and right
sensible idea it is "For gloves" as Edmund

showing they are So"
When the New York actresses posed to repro
duce in life the famous paintings, they made
the curious mistake of wearing the scanty
Greek draperies over voluminOus undercloth-

take.
There IS only one way to cook oatmeal, and
that is in double boiler, after the following
recipe, which is Mrs. Rorers method: Put four
heaping tablespoonfuls of oatmeal in a quart
Of boiling water, add a teaspoonful of salt, put
these in the double boiler and boil rapidly for
20 minutes; then push the double boiler aside
and let it cook slowly for two hours, or better
still, over night. 1t must not be stirred after
it has begun to cook; stirring breaks the grains
and makes the stuff pasty. Cooked correctly
the grains ought to swell up each one be sep
arate from its neighbor aud have delightful
flavor. If double boiler is used, and the lower
part kept filed with water, there is not any
danger of the oatmeal burning and stirring is
unnecessary.
A method for Kidding the house of flies is to

When the present Administration came in a
Office by the office-seekers. who knew that
there was no civil service fence around it, and
felt that they could get in there, even if they
couldn't get in any where else. They knew that
there were many Republicans in the Govern
ment Printing Office and, with the cruel sell
fshness which is so often characteristic of the
spoils seeker. they told their Senators and Rep
resentatives that they wanted them to go down
and demand that the Republicans should be
turned out and that they should be put in.
The Senators and Representatives, as usual, did
as they were bid. Public Printer Palmer was
too tender hearted to absolutely turn out his
old employees aud put in the new applicants, SO
he arranged the system of furloughs under
which half work, work for half week. was
given instead of 40 work at all, and this ell
abled him TO carry on the rolls such large
number OF employees as was never known in the
Government Printing Office before.
r
If Congress had given the Public Printer as
large orders for work as it usually does he
would have had an easier time. But, as a mat
ter of fact, it has been SO absorbed in the con-
sideration of the silver question at the extra
session and the tariff question at the regular
session. that it has not ordered the printing of
so many documents or such large editions. and
therefore the Government Printing Office has
actually had less to do this year than usual.
Later when Congress takes time to give special
orders for printing it will have more work
but this will probably be in the next fiscal
year. When Mr.. Benedict took charge of the
Office and found SO many superfuous employees
he decided that he could not 90 on with the
furlough system, but must cut the force down
to its normal condition, and let those employees
who were retained do normal amount of work.

Interesting Game Of tho Season.

Providence and Syracuse Played Most
Interesting Game Of tho Season.
Rogers saved the game for Providence
yesterday. Two men were on bases when
Stricken threw high to first. Rogers pre-
vented the ball from going to the bleach
ers and the men were held on bases.
Syracuse looked dangerous from the
start and lovers OF the sport felt In their
marrow that Q great game was on.
1t was by long odds the most interest
ing display OF aggressive and skillful play
seen In the city this season. From the be-
ginning circumstances %conspired to arouse
attention and az the innings progressed
up to the ninth every spectator was on
the edge Of expectancy. The last inning
developed interest up to the boiling
point. The score was Z to 1 when
Kilroy. Simon, Minnehan and Griffin
made hits In succession and two runs were
tailed. Great out fielding by Murray and
knight prevented two runs. One man
was out and two were on bases when
Pitcher Sullivan, who vas q triie
nervous ON account of Conley's
geographical remarks, got In his fine
work ana retired the score. Then q sigh
from 1900 persons went over Washington
Park like a moan and the intense strain Of
several moments was relieved.
Providence played its usual steady
game. Indeed, this very steadiness was
the secret OF success. Had Syracuse been
as steady in the beginning they
would have won the game
easily I'm the last innings by
score OF 2 TO /. No runs were earned

inisl.sy made by the visitors. Luck and

stopping a high ball labeled .Nr a couple
of bases, and catching it again before it
reached the ground. A little while after
this lie {" sassed" Umpire Snyder for de-
caring a runner out at first, and the bad
tempered Eagan sat on the bench for the
rest of the game.
Kilroy's pitching was a little the best
the Grays have seen this season.
The grand stand, filled with the fair sex,
made a pretty sight, and the privileges Of
ladies' day seemed TO be appreciated.

Wonder II Tim MurnaDe thought about
the time he played first base for Provi-
dence In the old league days, as he sat in

a pretty fair first base. Times
have changed considerably since then,
haven't they, Tim? He remembers the
day Providence walloped Boston
"a to 5, too, and several other
things when he and Hague
faced each other across the diamond. The

than that first experiment team in the
