She Barred the Way.

Two west end bicycle girls were rest ing on Forest park bench.
 "Grace has just returned from her Boston boarding school. I saw her yes terday," casually remarked she of the ample boomers.
 "Oh, know that Jack told me, He said she tried to be shocked at every thing the fellows did, and so he made up his mind to give her an excuse for being so wounded. He told her one of his little joBes." and Miss Accordion Skirt laughed softly at the remembrance.
 "You know what awful stories Jack can tell, right out before your friends, chaperon and all? We'll, he described q Boston event, when girl had locked the door of her room-stood before it i'll the hall and refused to allow her moth CT to enter. Naturally great rumpus was raised-threats and all that sort oi thing, but to no avail; the girl only blushed and became more and more in comprehensible, but still held firm.
 Finally the mother vowed to with draw the promise of certain diamond ring, and this fetched things around il fine shape. You see, the girls canary bird was taking his bath, and, of course the girl couldn't admit any one till he had finished. ''-St. Louis Republic.

came only to II

When Lydia E. Pinkham first sent out the news of her great discovery, there was no lack of harsh speech from those whose practice and opinions she set at defiance.
 But when young girls by the hundreds were absolutely cured by Lydia E. Pink hdn's Vegetable Compound, then the tongues of the traducers were stilled, and faith was allowed to live in the hearts of the people.
 Young girls are subject to this trouble. It robs them of the buoyancy of youth. It makes all effort distasteful.
 It causes retention and suppression of menses, leucorrhDa, severe headache, waxy complexion, depression, weakness, loss of appetite and interest.
 Certainly mothers ought to know that these are all symptoms of the one cause of nearly all the suffering that comes to women; and to save their daughters ought to begin treatment at once.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is the surest and most natural remedy for women ever compounded. It will accomplish it's work with certainty.

Their Joke.

One afternoon in June when the young woman whose duty it is to show visitors about Wellesley college was particularly weary and warm 16 spruce young Har- yard students appeared and asked to see the sights of the place. The young wo- man, with an assumption of cordiality piloted them from hall to hall Soon they reached the chapel, and as they paused upon its threshold one of the Harvardites was inspired to ask: ''How about chapel? Do you have hard time getting the girls to go?"
 Whereupon the weary cicerone, trifle tried by the question, answered, "Oh, our girls like to go to chapel.
 Quick as flash the youth nearest her turned to the youth nearest him and re- peated, gravely and impressively, "Oh, our girls like to go to chapel"
 That youth immediately repeated the words to the next, who passed them along to his neighbor, and so on down the whole 18 lined up upon the stair case. It was all so gravely done that the young woman could not give vent to her feelings by laughing, as she 1onged to do. What was more, she was obliged to prolong the ordeal by showing those youths over all the rest of the college. -Argonaut. a

THE PADS MEET.
The Annual Convention Is Called to OrdcE
 What Happened.


 The annual convention of the Order of Alternating Pads was called with MT. Golfstick ill the chair. After read ing the minutes of the last meeting the secretary stated that Nanny Crino- line had not paid her dues in 30 years.
 "I move that she be expelled from this association, said Miss Boomer, looking straight at the venerable old lady.
 A murmur of sympathy ran around the hall as "Mammy'' Crinoline arose to oppose the measure. Her voice was somewhat hollow, but as she waxed warm she displayed all of that metal so peculiar to her ill the old days,
 "As pioneer of this organization, she began, II stand here on''-
 ''I defy you to stand on anything un- supported, ' interrupted Miss Bloomer.
 "Why, you impertinent snip, squeaked the old lady, you would make light of my infirmity, would you?"
 "You never could stand alone" re- torted Miss Bloomer, ill a tone that dis played animus. "I'll leave it to MT. Wig, over there, who knew you ill your younger days
 Mr. Wig looked ruffied, but nodded his head ill the affirmative.
 Young miss," continued Nanny Crinoline, "I have mind to climb all over you. :"
 The chair rgpped for order and would not permit Miss Bloomer to respond, and a rising vote was taken on the mo- tion to expunge Nanny Crinoline's s name from the roll It was lost. Miss Tricycle. said that she had suf- fered d great deal of late owing to what she termed the fast" methods of MT. Bicycle. She declared that he had pushed himself ahead ill a way that was peculiar, if not suspicious. She asked that he be investigated ''I second that motion, exclaimed old Mir Roller Skate from the rear of I the hall "He has injured me, too, and I would like to see him scorched, just that he might know how it feels.
 "You would be more popular if you made less music" said MT. Bicycle de- risively, and MT. Skate sat down and made no answer. ''As to the complaint of Miss Tricy- l cle, I can only say that she has had her turn and that she never improved her self. 3
 The motion to investigate was referred | to the committee on ways and means. MT. Pneumatic Tire complained that he was being made soft thing for car pet Jacks nowadays.
 "Get on to them, as did, advised Mir Cushion Tire, and the matter was dropped amid general laughter.
 "Is there any further business before the convention?" called Chairman Golf stick.
 "It strikes mo-, began MT. Baseball, rising.
 "What strikes you?" asked Florida vegetable who had just strolled in.
 Don't you get fresh,' cried MT. l Ball savagcly.
 1 But the joke was so apparent that the general mirth could not be checked, and after announcing that the bicentennial of the order would be held ill Chicago next year Mr. Golfstick declared the convention adjourned. New York | World.

If He Impersonated a Woman, Was He tO
 Blame?
 "What's the charger" asked the jus tice.
 ''I arrested him, your honor, for i'm personating woman," returned the policeman. protested the prisoner.
 "Your honor, saw him out on the boulevard, and if it wasn't for ciga- rette in his mouth you couldn t have told him from any of the women.
 ''That's not so, insisted the prisoner. "I was dressed just as often am i'll the summer.
 ''Do you generally wear skirts?" asked the justice.
 "No, sir; never, sir. I never had them on in my life.
 "Officer, how about that?"
 Nobody said he did, replied the officer. "What did he have on then?" in quired the justice.

 ''I had on my regular tennis suit, with the regulation knickerbockers, ' said the prisoner
 "That won't go," exclaimed the off cer "They're boomers, nothing but boomers. I guess know 'em when I see lem, and besides, your honor, even if they were tennis Enickerbockers, what right has he to wear them now? Isn't he impersonating woman when he puts anything like that on?"
 The justice thought it over for 8 few moments before attempting to decide the knotty problem.
 "No, can't exactly see that he is, ," he said at last. "That's the suit he wore before boomers ever came into stop him now"
 "Well, then, your honor," said the policeman, "I wish you'd settle one thing for me. y
 "What is it?'' "Well, if a man in tennis knicker- lockers ain't impersonating a woman in boomers, how ill the world can you make it out that the woman in bloom CTS ain't impersonating the man in ten his knickerbockers? It seems to me one of 'em is impersonating the other, dead sure, and I'd like to have it settled which is which before I make any more arrests The justice knitted his brows, scratched his head and decided he would take the matter under advisement. No decision has yet been handed down. - Chicago Times Herald.

Not Disturbed by Trldes.

was walking up the village, when saw, to my dismay, that the entire gable end of one of the cottages had fallen bodily out, of course exposing the rooms, both up stairs and down stairs My first thought was naturally for the safety of the family, a young agricultural labor CT and his wife. But there were my friends just returning from an errand, and this was the conversation which fol- lowed:
 70, B., what has happened to your sottage?'
 "It's only tho end have a-fallen out, sir," cheerfully.
 "Only the end, but when did it hap pen?"
 Hast night about 1 o'clock. My misses and I were sleepin in one of those bedrooms, when she suddenly heard noise. do sleep very hard, sir, but at last she woke me and said, What be that, Bill? Oh, says I, it be this ere blessed end of t house have a-fallen out And, sure enough, so 'twere But then we'd been expectin of it some time. We know he wer'n't very safe.'
 "But what did you do?''
 "Well, tried to light a candle, but 'twere blowin and rainin very hard, and the wind blew her out every time I lighted i'm. So we just lay quiet till 5 o'clock, and then we got up, for 'twere gettin bit publiclike.
 "Weren't you frightened?"
 "Oh, no, sir. You see we'd been OK pectin of it. v
 "But what arc you going to do?' "Oh, MT. - will send some bricks, and he'll be built up again in day or two"
 But you're surely not going to stay here tonight?"
 "Oh, yes, sir (from the woman). Bill says he don't want to move. could go down to my fathers, but may just as we'll sleep along with Bill"
 And so they did. A friendly neighbor nailed up a sailcloth to make their rooms a little less ''publiclike" and to afford some protection from the weather, and there they staid one more night at least, after which some of us succeeded in in ducing them to move until the wall of +hai" home was rohnilt

WHEN | WAS A BOY.
Once all things on earth

Once all things on earth Were for pleasure and mirth. Each morn awolze to new joy. loved all God gave And had nothing to crave, In those days when was boy. For ia those sweet days knew naught of the craze That money has made in my brain. loved tho things pure That will always endure And cared not for losses or gain. The song of the bees, Of the birds in the trees, Of the brook that murmured in Glee, All entered my heart And were there made q part Of the anthems that life sang to me. By measure of time am now in my prime, With cares of life's hurry and strife, And know that the joy That felt when boy Will never more enter my life. When time bids me go From the world here below To the land of eternity's joys, hope God above In his infinite love Will make me just one of his boys.

GOWNS OF GLACE SILK.

ed is of rose shot glace silk. It has three rows of guipure insertion on the skirt, lace vest, turn over collar and deep cuffs and bows of black satin ribbon on the shoulders and sleeves. The waist at the back is plain, with little fullness at the belt. Besides taffetas, which are endless ill variety, and the thin gauffer- cd silks, there is a new faille which is soft and glossy and looks like miroir velvet.
 Pretty, cool hats for midsummer are white transparent straw, shaped some what like sailor, except that the brim narrows toward the back, and trimmed with rosettes of white chiffon, white wings which spread out at each side and bright pink roses with many leaves,

DRESS AND FASHION.
NEW FASHIONS FoRESHADoWED IN
 MIDSUMMER COSTUMES.

The Downfall of Crepon Conn
 pIete Dresses of One Material Promise to
 Soon nPrevaiI-FashionalIe Materials and
 Trimmings-The New Sleeves.
 The general outline of fashion has changed very little since the early sea- son styles presented themselves. Skirts are much the same, except that less haircloth is used in their lining. Here and there one is seen with plaited sides made of a straight breadth and the same gored front and godet back. Skirts without trimming are the. rule for all gowns except thin muslins. Some of these made recently are trimmed with two or three bands of insertion arranged in deep point on either side.
 The leading materials for gowns in tended for midsummer wear are batiste, organdie, swiss, linen duck and pique, and these are made up in all the vary
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1895-07-29

ing degrees of simplicity and elabora. tion. Plain white and figured pique are combined in one gown, with the addi- tion of white null and lace embroidery, and white pique is used for wide collars and cuffs of sheer ecru linen batiste. Ribbon and lace are the usual trim mings for ecru batiste gowns when they are intended for afternoon wear, but the white duck and pique collar and band on the skirt give them that severe and stylish appearance so much desired for morning. Epaulet pieces of batiste trim med round with 8 ruche of narrow lace arc almost a necessity over the gigot sleeves, which to be cool are made with out lining. The waist and skirt can be made over white or co1ored lawn.
 White organdie dresses over colored silk or white lawn lining are trimmed with cream valenciennes lace. Three or five rows of insertion set in above the hem, or two narrow ruff1es, or or gandie edged with lace, trim the skirts. The waists are full, with lace yokes and frills of edging below, and either col ored or plain white ribbons are used for | collar and belt. A sheer white batiste gown illustrated in the New York Sun is trimmed with lace insertion and
 made over q pale green lawn lining, which makes it look very cool. Frills of batiste trimmed with insertion and lace extend over the sleeves, and green and white striped ribbon makes the bows, collar and belt. White pique gowns are usually in the coat and skirt style and are worn with dainty shirt waists of blue, pink or yellow silk.
 White alpaca seems to be favorite material. Glace silks are also popular. It is claimed by those who ought to | know that crepon, which has so long had the precedence, has got to make way for smooth finished fabrics. Ultra fashionable women are introducing cos | tunes of one material throughout. Some of the new sleeves show @ box plait at the back, which makes the sleeve look narrow and moro graceful and is useful in making the sleeves stand out.
 A glace silk of cream white with punches of vio1ets scattered all over it | has the skirt trimmed with puffs and ruches of silk arranged ill points on either side of the front, and the bodice, which is all of the same silk, is laid in front ill crosswise folds, meeting on one side under q large bow of violet col l ored satin ribbon. The wide capelike 1 revers are of the silk, and cravat bow l of cream lace, wired to stand out stiff, completes the collar band of lace, which also forms tho vest. Another gown il
