The Polite Stranger.

As was going up Broadway on foot a
well-dressed stranger stopped me and asked
me to step aside with him. When we were
clear of the crowd he said:
81 am a merchant doing business at OF
tumwa, Iowa. l was on little spree last
night and lost my wallet. | have written
home for money, but it will take three or
four days or week to get it. Meanwhile
/ want to put this diamond pin in some
body's hands as security for $50. Win you

l couldn't. The pin seemed to be all right
and worth $3.50, but advised him to go to
pawnshop and do business regularly. He
expressed his contempt for my lack of bust
ness training and we parted. A month
later, as stood at the entrance of Fifth
avenue hostelry one evening, the same man
approached me and said:
81 beg your pardon, sir, but I am cattle
man from Montana. l was on little spree
last night and had my pocket picked.

while 1 want to raise S75 on this diamond
pin. What are you laughing atP"
"Why, you tackled me a month ago with
this game, and you were then merchant
from Iowa!"
He called me liar and went his way,
and 1 never expected to see him again, but
three or four days ago, as / waited in the
Hoffman House to see Michigander, the
same chap sat down beside me and began

myself as coal-mine owner from Penn

Please take a good look at me and don It
make another mistake. 1t hurts me to be
taken for hayseed."
Then he got wroth and said he would
smash me, but Billy Edwards, who does
the bouncing for the Hoffman House, led
him away by the ear, and L may never see
him more.-Detroit Free Press.

workwoman-like is the little blue cloth
stewards cap perched on the wavy locks
of our second model, who is bedecked in
an extremely smart and quite novel
cruising costume. The material selected
is very good boxcloth in deep cream.
There is no overdue fullness in the skirt
which just escapes the ground and stands
out from the heels in the much approved
cut of the hour. Between the cloth and
the strong linen lining are inserted at in
tervals four lead weights that keep the
jupe in its right place, when the wild sea-
breezes endeavor to play havoc with
feminine apparel. But there is mo sug-
gestion of steels or horsehair about thu
skirt, which owes all its Partisan smart
ness of outline to a perfect cut. The coat,
which is ever so much newer in build
than either the overdone Eaton or the
short full-basqued jacket hailing from the
gay capital, is of sensible length, and

A Man Wants a Word With You
About Her.
How Is It That She Does Not Get
the Compliments She Used
te?-Xou Were Jealous
Once.

A man who knows the ways
of the world well AYERS that
more than half the husbands
on this coast are responsible to
a great extent for the poor state
of health in which SO many
women find themselves.
"You may not have noticed"
he said, "but I have often, a
woman tired, detected, nervously
irritable, and who complains of
weak back, who has a hus-
band who appears to be fond of
her but is content to allow her
whole system to be undermined
because he does not take inter-
est enough to get her some
thing that will help her. He
goes along in his happy way.
He takes a tonic or a little
"bracer" occasionally. But his
wife ? She has to get on the
best way she can"
"But why not suggest the
calling in of a doctor ?" was
asked.
"She needs no DOCTOR" he
continued. "What She wants is
a tonic and sustenant-some-
thing that will feed her physical
nature properly, benefit her
whole nervous system and
purify and enrich her blood.
DIR. HENLEY's Celery, Beef
and Iron is an ideal rejuvenator
for the purpose, and a single
case will make any mans wife
who is i'll in this way as bright
as she was the day he married
her and as charming as she was
when he used really to feel
jealous Of all the compliments
she got"

STYLISH WALKING SKIRTS
The Old Pineapple Pattern OF
Crocheted Lace Again Coming
Into Vogue.

Fashions demands during this season
have been more reasonable as regards
headgear. Certainly the golden mean be-
tween the huge pieture-shape and the
tiny fower-toque has been the order of the
day. During the hot weather we instinct
lively long to tone down, or rather. veil in
ethereal nsse, tulle or gauze, anything
wildly bright in the way of straw shapes.
The golden tan Tuscan plating that struck
so welcome and strong tone of coloring
at the beginning of spring rather offends
ones artistic sensibility under the thrice
glorious blaze of midsummer sun. The
hat now submitted to a detailed descrip-
ton is of medium circumference, and is
slightly turned up all around to reveal a
yelling OF silky cream lisse over the yell
low straw foundation. On one side of the
rather high crown is merely dainty

A Good Cheese

How true it is that fame and fortune
both hinge on some trivial circumstance.
The most successful artist at the annual
exhibition of the French Salon one year
was young gentleman named Baldwin
Sewers.
Mr. Sewers particular line is the define
alton Of still life, and SO he painted a
cheese.
After it was hung some malicious person
slipped into the gallery the night before
the exhibition and cut round hole in the
canvas, completely removing the cheese.
When the examining committee were on
their rounds, they came to tbs defaced
picture, and angrily sent for the artist to
give an explanation. An ordinary in
dividual would have been overcome with
despair at the outrage. Not so Mr.. Sewers.
When the chairman said, sternly:
Where is the cheese?' he responded,
calmly:
"Alas, gentlemenl I perceive 1 have
painted it with too great fidelity. The
mice have eaten it."
They awarded him the first prize.

dency toward fanciful trimmings laid

treatment is illustrated in the maize and

are composed OF softly failing yellow chit
