among them that Washington is simply
heavenly in the summer season. In the
evening the broad walks, lined with seats,
are filled with well-dressed people out for
an airing.
But the prettiest of all sights is Wash
ington at sundown in summer. Stores and
shops, departments and offices are, most of
them, closed, and Washington's popula-
ton turns itself loose to have good time.
There are parks in the city and parks out
side. There suburban picnic grounds
and splendid woods for shady strolls; then
there are the long, tree-shaded streets,
with over a hundred miles Of pavement as
smooth as floor for riding. driving and
cycling.
There are cable and horse and electric
cars to take thousands in any direct ton.
Why, even the poorest can get a breath of
the purest country atr-pine scented aud
health giving-for a sx-cent round-trip
fare! He can find, for that sum- grass that
never saw a scythe, trees such as formed
the temples Of the Druids and flowers that
grow as free as the wind for any hand to
pluck. On
AS soon as may be, after the stain and
soil of the day Is removed and clean clothes
are donned, the exodus to the parks begins.

A fad in trimming that is so costly as to
confine itself to the rich is to trim the
dainty mauve and pink with dozen rows
of very narrow satin ribbon. The effect is
something elegant beyond description A

prim little cape, to be cross-folded in Mary
Washington or Marie Antoinette style,
made of the thin stuff, and sometimes
frilled with the same all trimmed with
rows of the satin ribbon, or to make the
cape perfectly plain and finish with the
narrow ribbon. Capes of all kinds will be
in vogue all summer. They are not ex-
pected to come below the elbows, and
though very flaring at the edge fit like
paper on the wall about the shoulders and
neck. Some of the capes are unined, but
most of them have a circular cape of silk
or satin In some pretty color, or black,
with a wide full fall of lace, silk null or
chiffon hanging over.

Domestic Life Neglected.
Now, you know that is not a healthy
kind of atmosphere for children to grow up
in. If the boys and girls of whom have
spoken had been at all viciously inclined
they would every blessed one of them have
gone to the bad on gallop under such
treatment. Home with them was simply a
place to eat and sleep In. and all their
pleasures were to be derived from sources
far removed from the home circle, in
stead of originating inside of it.
The home should be a place that the
children love and are 10th to leave under
any circumstances They should be able to
find in it everything that appeals to the
better nature, and solace for all the ills
outside of 1t.
American home life is not just the thing
it ought to be, and we have to acknowledge
it. We live too much in public and the
characters of our children are developed in
an atmosphere Of excitement, nourished
artificiality, bolstered on show, and
taught that domestic life is secondary
phase of life more important and fuller of
enjoyment than anything that is con-
nected with home and Its environments.
That is why American girls grow nervous
and colorless at twenty-five and American
boys blase at twenty-one. And all this
accounts for the lack of repoSe in Ameri-
can manners and the lack of moral
stamina.

as though they held some interest for hui

their petals unheeded in the garden be-
cause their perfume was deleterious to my

part of the house, and the dog or cat that

If / had been the son of that house l would

just as amenable to their influence as

n snity-is going to take place. But that
the process is going on, Carroll D. Wright,
the superintendent Of the census is my au-
thority for stating.
The statistics Of occupations recently
published by the government show that
in the United States there Is no business
pursuit Of men which has not been invaded
by women. Figures-cold, hard figures
show, however, that during the past ten
years the increase of women in all gain
full occupations is Ass per cent as against
27.64 per cent, the increase of men. These
statistics do not include matrimony in the
list of gainful occupations, so that every bit
of this advance of woman in the race for
the mighty dollar indicates the widening
domain and accumulative power Of modern
feminine independence.
Like every other star of empire, this of
woman's rises in the east and gradually
illumines the lano beyond-in the New Eng
land. central, southern and middle states,
varying according to states, from one-third
to one-half the whole number of money
makers are women. Out west, from Mon
tana to California, man is comparatively
on top in this commercial war of the sexes.
He outnumbers the weaker vessels thir-

message was received at the navy

She had on board the Nicaraguan

at Colon until the commission is
ready to return to this country or
to Greytown, The commission will

anna railroad, crossing the isthmus
to the Pacific side. 1t is also posi-

the Pacific coast to the western
terminus of Nicaragua canal and
make an examination from that
end to Nicaraguan lake The act
Of Congress under which the COM
mission is proceeding contains no

Panama route, but it may be that
the commission desires to make
comparison as to the relative cost
Of the two routes,
