for II Is stated as historical fact, but
the linen OF old Spain must have been Of a
stronger quality than is made now. 1t Is a
wonder that some enterprising shop does
not advertise Ruth blue" and Esther
pink" as those are the favorite colors for
the White House children. The baby's
belongings are all tied with pink ribbons,
and It's carriage Stats are run with that
color; great big pink bow Is fastened to
one corner Of the cab afghan, and the
small cloak sleeves are tied to the wrists
with pink. Ruth wears blue in the same
manner.
The Very Newest Shade.
The newest shade is "lsigny," and means
5ust plain butter color. Not the abomlna-
tion that Is sold in the markets and called
'.pure country butter" made of tallow and
colored with annato. but the rich grass
yellow butter that Is made in the country
in France tributary to the town of Isigny.
This shade of yellow is becoming to almost
anybody, particularly those with rather
dark skins. and when made up in sheer
lawn, with a trimming of misty lace Is
simply ravishing. A word right here about
colOrs for summer. IL you want to make
believe that you are cool when In fact
you are boiling, wear sea green, or the
darker shades approaching apple green.
Green Is simply hideous en- person with
a sallow complexion-one with no color.
but the instant that same skin takes on a
shade Of pink the green will transform her
into creature Of beauty. The light shades
OF green in lawns and summer silks make
the coolest looking dress that can be worn.

girl could have.
Blue is also kind to pink face. The
person v no could not wear blue in winter
can wear it in summer and look well In II.
Possibly because of the materials; most
people look well in thin, misty materials
such as all should seek to wear In summer
But when IL comes to making the same
colors up in thick materials there Is a sure
though undefnable change. 1 don't know

DOOM OF THE BATH TUB.
Addition of the Future VIII BE by
Rain and Shower Baths

Rain and shower Baths.
The dwelling house of the future con-
structed on scientific and hygienic prin-
cpies, will be bathtubless. says the New
YORK Mail and Express. The porcelain
lined and zinc-lined and tin-lined tubs of
To-Day VIII be unknown. Their place will
be taken by tiled room, In which will be
arranged shower or rain baths at various
angles. These douches WI supply hot
cold or tepid water at the pleasure of the
bather. and the liquid will be carried of
as fast as 1t is used by a spacious drain
pipe. The idea Is not q new one. and
wherever 1t has been adopted the result has
been gratifying. There are three houses In
London. recently completed, supplied with
this method Of bathing. and there is said
to be one In Philadelphia 1t Is not known
whether the innovation has been made in
New York-that is, whether there Is any
private dwelling fitted up exclusively with
shower baths. There are several fashion
able houses on Madison and 5th avenues
that have both. but II is doubtful IL any
where the tub has been abandoned alto
gether.
1t is claimed for the rain bath that II is
III every way superior to the method We
have known since civilization began, and
this has been proven In many public insti-
tutions. The first one ever built In America
was put In the New York Juvenile Asylum
has the bathing establishment erected by
the trustees Of the Baron Hirsch fund at
Henry and Market streets. One OF the
largest rain baths In the country is now
In course Of construction in the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Utica, and II is pre-
dicted that within a very few years all
prisons and hospitals will have adopted
the system.
The most enthusiastic advocate Of the
rain bath Is William Paul Gerhard, who
has made a study of its advantages. In
the first place. he says that II requires less
space In the planning of a bath house It
consumes less time in application, the body
OF the bather does not come in contact
with solid water. the mechanical and tonic
effect of the descending stream is unques-
tiopable. the cleansing and stimulating
enects are greater than in a bath tub, less
water Is required. and no time is lost in
waiting for the filling of a tub in houses
where the supply Is slow. These are a few
OF the reasons advanced, and Mr. Gerhard
bases an elaborate argument upon them
maintaining his position throughout with
q logic that Is convincing and interesting.

Hnmmocks and Summer Girls.


fortunately there are few sensible people
left yet who will call spade a spade.
HammOcks and Summer Girls.
Hammocks get more fashionable every
year. People seem to be just finding out
what really comfortable things they are
For an invalid who must spend half or
two-thirds of the time in bed, a hammock is
positive boon. 1t may be hung just over
the bed or low and close to the .nvalid's
chair. with the sides well stretched. so that
It will not be a bit OF trouble to get In 1t,
and 1t accommodates itself to ones bones
In such an oblsing manner that. once &C
customed to 1t, nobody wants to give II
up. And for the summer girl! Why she
would be as much out of her element with
out her hammock as Fourth OF July
without fireworks. The up to date is
thing Of beauty. 1t Is now the fad for the
summer girl to knit her own hammock For
that purpose there are hanks Of silk on
sale In the shops, and she Is expected to
select the colors to suit fer complexion
Then there are hammock afghans, made Of
soft silks. and hammock pillows and cush-
Ions galore. In fact, q summer girls ham,

A pretty embroidered muslin is of the
popular isigny yellow. which. as I ex-

were first buttered on the loaf with sweet
country butter. and then cut with a sharp
knife to a wafer-like thinness. For the
nlling she chopped very fine some Of the
white and dark meat of q boiled chicken
dressed with salt and pepper. a tablespoon
fui OF butter to each cupful of the meat
and teaspoonful of French dressing; these
she rubbed to paste and then spread thin
ly upon one slice of the bread, first trim
ming the two slices of all crust, and max
Ing them exactly of size; then she laid
the two together and rolled them in pieces
of buttered white paper. Another sandwich
was made in the same way, only not rolled
and the filling was cucumbers, sliced as
thin as paper, dressed with lemon and oil
and tiny bit of mustard. Another bread
dish was baking powder biscuits, made very
short, and so thin that they looked like
crackers These were split open and but
tered and filled with q thin layer of min ced
French sardines. dressed with lemon Juice.
These sandwiches were packed in small
paper boxes each kind in a box Of its own
lined with tissue paper. and consequently
came out as fresh and palatable as though
served in ones dining room.
Jennie's egg contribution was as pretty as
1t was pala table. She picked some, and
colored them red with beet juice in the
vinegar, strong cold tea gave her a fine
green, and cherries a lovely pink They
looked mighty pretty, in one Of the wooden
plates in a nest of lettuce leaves. Then she
had some deviled eggs. These she made by
DOIllilS the eggs nIteen minutes. which
makes them almost digestible as soft
boiled ones. then she cut them In half
took the yokes and pounded them TO a
thick paste with some French DRESSING
some timely minced celery and pepper and
salt; then she filled the white with the
paste, put them together, fixed I'D a little
motto for each, over which the girls had
any amount of fun. and rolled them in wax
ed paper with fringed ends.
Salads That Were POEMS
Then she had fried eggs. She boiled them
first. then chopped them fine with a tiny bit
Of lean ham, pepper, a pinch OF mustard
and some lemon juice She rolled the paste
into the size Of eggs, dipped each in beaten
egg. then in cracker crumbs and fried In
hot lard. They were as sweet and nice as
could be. The salads that Louise made were
perfect poems in oils" There was one OF
lettuce and egg which she prepared after
we sat down, with oil and mayonnaise and
another OF ripe tomatoes, while a third, OF
chicken, was simply delicious. l made a
chicken pie, one that you bake in an oven,
with an upper and under crust, with
plenty of good. rich gravy inside to make a
kind of jelly when IL gets cold. The girls
declared 1t was nicer than cake. The
chicken should be cooked first and all the
bones taken out, so that the pie will slice
when cold like cake. 1t should have a mid
die crust too. and should be made the day
before using. 1 had a nice little pat of
pressed turkey and a mold Of cranberry
jelly and another Of crab-apple.

 Boston, Dec. 2.-The explosion of q parlor oil stove and the resulting fire caused the loss of two lives in an Ital- ian tenement house in North Square this afternoon. The fire was in the four and half story brick tenement house at No. IS North Square and started in the office of pr. E. Ferrara on the second floor.
 Dr. Ferrara had been out of the city and upon returning to his office shortly before o'clock found that his parlor oil stove was on fire. He picked up the stove and started for the front dooN He set the stove down in the hall in or- der to regain his breath, when soma one. he does not know who, kioked it into the street. When kicked the stove exploded and the flames shot back into l the hall. In a moment the whole hall was in a blaze. The doctor jumped from a window and escaped injury. An alarm was given and the firemen soon had the fire under control.
 When the fire had been extingushed the dead bodies of Luigi Roma, aged thirty-five, and his daughter, Conoetta, nin in, ha 10 at ho | head of the stairs on the third floor, Both bodies were horribly burned and were removed to the North Grove street morgue. Roma and his daughter did not live in the house, but had been vis- iting Romas sister, Mrs. Nicola Celia, | who lived on the third floor and who was i'll. At the time of the fire Roma was out on the street talking with c l friend. Seeing the flames he rushed back into the house to save his daush- ter and was returning to the street when overtaken by death. The Celle family and another Italian family oc. cupied the third and fourth floors, but made no attempt to escape from tho house by the stairs, simply closing tho doors to keep the smoke out, opening the windows and awaiting tho coming of the f1remen. Their lives were un- doubtedly saved by their coolness.

 The fire was confined to the rooms on the second floor and the hall and stairs leading to the third floor. The loss is estimated at $1,O00 to $1,200.

Saturday EVonln8'
 The Boston Symphony orchestra, whose performances are always de- light to lovers of fine music, will give it's only concert at the Hyperion the- ater next Saturday evening. The con- cert will introduce as soloists one of the distinguished stars of the present musical season, MT. Cesar Thomson. the famous Belgian violinist. Mr. Thomson may confidently be classed as one of the very greatest of living yiolinists, and 50 far as absolute mass tery of the technique of the instrument is concerned he probably has no peer. The ease and certainty with which he plays passages of the most amazing difficulty excites the wonder and ad- miration of all Wolinists and has led him to be frequently referred to by the critics as "a second Paganini." Mr. Thomson will play with orchestra the lovely Adagio from the G minor Con. certo by Bruch and the Concerto by Paganini. The orchestral numbers to be played include Passacaglia, Bach: Symphony in B minor No. 1, Brahmss Suite, ."L'Arlesienne," No. 1, Btxet; and the Overture "Carneval Romain." Der. lioz.

Privat, Detectives in tho Employ of His
 Victim Traced the Doctor to Galveston
 Where He Was Arrested and Was lhon
 Taken to Chicago.
 Chicago. Dec. 3.-Detectives arrived here last night with Dr. R. c. Flower. who was arrested in Galveston on the charge of swindling N. c. Foster. wealthy Wisconsin lumberman. out Of $50, ,000. Flower escaped from officers in Terre Haute, Ind. last October. and after & long, tendious chase in many cities by private detectives. hired by Foster. the doctor was located In Gal weston.
 The governor of Texas honored the acquisition for Flowers return for trial and a Galveston officer started with the prisoner for Chicago. After arrival at St. Louis the officer, by mistake, bought tickets for Indianapolis instead of Chi- cago. But the manager of the detective agency was on hand with requisition papers from Governor Altgeld and brought the doctor here from Indiana. The prisoner spent the night in the of- flee of the agency. His accomplice in the frauds and other crimes charged
 was H. c. Mosher.
 Flower had his headquarters in Bos-
 ton, from where he sent out advertising
 letters, calling his business the Flower
 Medical institute. Ten or twelve years
 ago he was preacher in Ohio for the
 Disciples, an extremely liberal sect. He
 soon became spiritualst, and was next heard of In Boston.

 The three sons of Comptroller Koch- ersperger of the Consolidated road,
 who were taken i'll with typhoid fever
 about three weeks ago. are doing well
 and good hopes of the recovery of all three are entertained. The late Rev. H. M. Storrs, pastor
 of the First Presbyterian church at
