Miss Atlsinson.s Handsome Prizes.

The three prizes won by Miss Atkinson,
the new lady champion tennis player,
We're uncommonly handsome. In tho
mixed doubles tho lady's prize was silver
tea set of very handsome design. The prize
in the ladies doubles WAS IL beautiful
wrcathpin set with pearls, and in the sim
gles in addition to holding tho cup rs
champion, she received an exquisite me
dallion pin OF fine workmanship, set about
with scrolls OF gold, studded with dia-

THE NEW WOMAN.

Tho shades of night werc falling fast.
AS through the crowded streets there passed
a creature not TO be described,
Who boro aloft shield inscribed
"Tho now woman"
Her trousers were littlo wide
end just Il tric short beside,
Hs forward on her wheel She dashed
While on the startled vision flashed
The new woman.
Hcr brow with evening dew was drcnched.
Yet tight tho handle bar she clcnchcd,
And never dropped tho banner bold
Which showed alike to young and old
Tho new woman
ooh, stay" the young man said, "and resi-
Your weary hoad upon my breast.
You surely cannot further gol
a voice replied "You do not know
Tho now woman
"Avoid this PATH" tho old man called.
"Its dangers have strong men appalled,"
Again u proud cry tloated back,
"fou can't keep i'll tho beaten track
The new woman"
"Bewarc tho politicians fate
And turn back ere it is too late"
But ever high above tho din
Come what como may, this vote shall win
The new woman
The timid crowd bewildered sat,
And many sighed, "Whcrc are we atp"
Ono man was bold enough to try
To follow where before did fly
Tho new woman.
All night no rode through darkness vast
And over anxious glanccs cast,
But speed of his could not avail
To catch upon her dizzy trail
The new woman.
And when Mt last tho morning broke
IN bitterness these words no spoxo
" IT'S plain I'm distanccd, and tho race
Is hers by right of rapid pace,
The new woman"

SUMMER TOILET.

fashionable. They are literally trimmed
also, sometimes SO delicately as to seem tc
require quito as much protection as the
gown they nominally shield
Plisse goods are la mode in thin wool,
silk gauze and tulle. They are employed
for bodices, the front of blouses and even
for whole costumes.
Gorsages differing from the skirt in color
and material are worn more than ever.
Pink Is much liked for them just now,
with mauve as second favorite.
Sleeves continue to be enormous, but in
other respects afford much variety in cut
and trimming. The elbows sleeve is seen
on many day gowns, muslins as well as
silks. All sleeves are gradually dropping
below the shoulder, which is a symptom
significant of much inconvenient hamper
ing of the arm.
Buttons are forcing their way every
where, regardless as to whether they but
ton anything not, but they are very fine
in quality, antiques or jeweled specimens
of exquisite workmanship.
A sketch is given of a dress toilet for
summer wear Of jacinthe glace taffeta
striped with bluet blue. The godet skirt
forms a tablier in front framed by two
diminishing bands of white guipure and
graduated choux of bluet grosgrain silk
The bodice is of jacinthe glace surah gath
cred under yoke of white guipure. A
corselet arrangement of guipure holds in
the fullness at the waist. The balloon ell
bow sleeves are of striped taffeta trimmed
with b1uet choux. Straps of bluet gros-
grain silk cross the top of the shoulders,
terminating in choux. The bluet collar
fastens with two coques behind and passes
through paste buckle in front. The hat
accompanying this gown is of beige straw
and Is trimmed with bluet ribbon and

THINK WELL OF THEIR TOWN.
Residents of an Ohio City Have Faith In
Its Future Greatness.

Residents of Ohio City Have Faith In
Its Future Greatness.
One of the newspapers of Columbus,
O., has been interviewing prominent
citizens as to their idea of the progress
the city will have made in 100 years
from the present time. The answers re-
ceived are doubtless of small account as
prophecies, but it is interesting to note
what faith Americans have in the deS-
TIMES which are to be wrought out in
the next century. The probable pOpula-
ton of Columbus in 1895 is set by most
of the guessers at 500, 900, though some
are inclined to venture a figure even as
high as 900, 600 souls. The area of the
city proper Will include from 10 to 20
square miles, and the taxable property,
reckoned Oh the present basis, Will not
be less than 5000, 600, 900. The ground
for these large estimates of the probable
growth of Columbus is the fact that the
city is railroad center, and as such Is
likely to increase rapidly in commercial
importance. Passenger transportation
in this millennium of the prophets Will
be by means of some sort of aerial nayi-
CATION, and the street railroads of today
will be either entirely abandoned or i'll

ply to the new fabrics for the purpose as
these are of the gossamer description, and
the veil itself is SO hung that it clears
these features and minds its own business
only, and that is to guard the complexion
from the sun and wind. The Partisan
wells are all rounded off and have a narrow
border, scalloped. The most becoming
have spots at wide intervals. White wells
with black spots are very becoming.
Women who wish to keep their bodices
fresh and in proper shape should suspend
them over a coat hanger when they are
not in use. If room for that cannot be
afforded, loops of tape should be sewed on
the inside of tho armhole at the under
arm seam, by which to hang them up.
Sleeves continue to expand, and to SO
great an extent have they blossomed out
that even in thin goods they require a fit
ted lining in order to maintain their posi-
ton and pufliness. A great deal of trim
ming is often employed upon the upper
part, but the portion which covers the
forearm is left comparatively plain.
Stripes are much Worn this season. They
are seen in all sorts of goodS-in muslin,
silk and woodland are becoming to most
women except those of extremely tall and
slender figure In skirts the cores are so
arranged that the stripes form vandykes,
while in sleeves the stripes are bias at the
upper part.
The cut shows thin costume, the godet
skirt of which is of emerald and rose silk
in wide stripes. The blouse bodice is of
white silk gauze over q close lining of rose
silk It is shirred around the collar and
across tho bosom under bands of pink
roses with foliage. The soft belt of rose
silk fastens under knot at the side. The
elbow sleeves are of gauZe over silk and

pie and blue, and her lovely blush Of red Is
toned to suit the modern Philistine. She
is also garbcd in crepon silk, and, in short,
Is subject to artistic trayesties all round.
The poppy is also now in every color and
in crepon too. The orchid likewise suffers
the same treatment. No botanical speci-
men escapes alterations and improvement
at the hands of man, and the more 1t de-
parts from its natural condition the more
fashionable it appears to be.
1t is rococo age. Both hats and bon
nets are ornamented with variety Of or
namental pins, some with enormous heads,
in many devices, from that of n gargoyle
to medieval saints head. Those in
French paste are the prettiest, and nova
days such paste is inexpensive, thanks to
commercial rivalry. Buckles, buttons,
links and various ornaments are all ut a
figure that almost any one can compass.
Straw is the favored material for hats
and bonnets. 1t is produced in all the
fashionable tints, butter yellow, tabac, cop
per and a curious shade of red. The plait
is in many Designs some showing cuplike
excrescences and some worked with Gre
poned strands. 1t is said that Queen Vic
toria is very fond of straw plating, which
is now becoming a branch of the great de-
partment of fancy work, a more useful
and practical branch than many that
might be named.
The illustration shows gown Of beige
moire crepon. The godet skirt forms a
double box plait in front. The bodice has
a similar plait falling in a slight blouse.
The belt and draped collar are Of begonia
green velvet, the latter adorned with two
clusters of Russian violets. The gigot
sleeves are plain. A white Louis Seize
fichu of plisse mousseline de sole trimmed
with white lace covers the shoulders The
toque Of beige straw Is trimmed with be-

Much sensation has been created in
France by the proposal of the female con-
scription bill 1t is theoretical idea,

the cooking department. seems one of the
most suitable openings for women.
Several persons whose adipose has in
creased to n disagreeable pitch and whose
waist lines are in danger of becoming
nearly if not entirely obliterated have
found great benefit from striking the front
of the body with the flat hand, especially
after hot bath. The rapid and smart con-
cussion is said to break some of the fat
cells, or at least to soften them SO that
they can be absorbed. One ingenious hy
gienist has invented method of hagella-
tion that is at once simple and effective.
A number of lengths of very soft rubber
tubing are attached to pieces of rope. With
these the back and shoulders are beaten by
throwing the tubes over tho shoulders first
one side and then tho other.
The sketch shows n walking gown of
blue crepon, with plain godct skirt. The
blouse bodice has plain back, the front
being arranged with sort of plastron of
taffeta matching the crepon in color.
| This plaStron forms n box plait, ornament
| ed with two antique buttons and termi-
mating at the top under a band of guipure.
Guipure frames the plastron at the sides
and is carried around the shoulders be-
