are called typical" American girls, and, though always clever and never bad looking, they are at loss all the time how to preserve the prettiness of eyes and mouth, in spite of that per sistency with which the nose will take the naughty upward curve
 Such young woman applied to a certain Russian milliner who has come to New York to win fame and fortune. "You must heighten the piquant effect, madam" was the edict, ''and then you will be a great beauty"
 Throwing upon the ground the de- murely arranged veil of the young woman and stamping upon it, the im- petuous Russian called to her assistant to bring tulle-plenty of it-embroid- cred with something irregular, any thing but dots" It happened that feur-de-lis were chosen, the conven- tional heur-de-lis that trim everything from sofa cushion to glove back
 Snatching the tulle the Russian made a grab at the young woman's hat brim, picking off large purple violet My needle and threadr she cried. These brought, she fastened the violet in a mysterious corner of the veil, and, quick as flash, tied the folds across the young woman's piquant face. The pretty purple violet came directly under the chin, and very pretty It looked. As she stepped out of the establishment people looked at her admiringly, though there was nothing showy or loud in the veil's appearance-nothing like the Roman veils of the season that can only be worn by Penelopes of Puri- tan type, straight-nosed, oval-faced and dropping eyes.
 The seashore veil is not beautiful, unless beautiful material be selected. but it is picturesque and is designed to hide the smooth hair, which will not wave or curl in the dampness. Every year designers think up new things for this veil, so that the girl who must have fringe beneath her hat brim may look less wild than she usually does after the brine has strengthened the carefully-prepared curls.
 This year it takes the form of a very thiclxly- gathered knot of yelling, which Is fastened upon the outer edge of the hat brim- To do it, you gather the yelling roughly in the hand, fasten it together in folds with faDcy pins, and spike it on the front of your hat. It now falls so thiclSly across the face that you can only peer forth. But despair notl Gather the sides carefully, draw them back, and fasten them lightly upon the sides of the hat Those who are always seeking to make pictures of themselves. preserve the side loops, lowering them to show the sides of the forehead between the front and side fastenings. But this is matter of taste, only that this looping shows CO., quetry, and is so interpreted.
 The mountain veil is for but one thing, to hold the hat upon the head. This year it Is twelve yards long, and is of the color of the dress. It contrasts with the hat, which is of light shade. while the veil and gown are dark. The beginning of the twelve yards of veil ing is held firmly in the hand of one's small brother, while some kind-hearted

in 1881, and by far the most brilliant. Sears and Slocum, the first and second, were essentially steady players, and neither was accredited with wonderful brilliancy. Campbell was just the re- verse, being far more brilliant than he was steady. Wrenn, however, is the first of the royal line who has com bined steadiness and brilliancv. Like Chace, Budlong and Parker, he began his career as an interscholastic cham pion, and has won the highest laurels while still in college
 For the first time in American tennis an official ranking was issued last fall by the U. S. N. L. T. A. The executive committee classed over forty leading players, and handicapped them accord ing to the English 'quarter-ffteen" system. Seventeen of these experts were ranked within fifteen" of the champion, as follows: Class 1 (owe A 15l, R. D. Wrenn (champion); class 9 (scratch), ". A. Larned, NJ. F. Good body, F. H. Hovey, M. c.

in most of the big English meetings this summer. Three or four years ago Hall was one of the strongest players in America, but during the last two years he has fallen greatly from his former high position. However, many of his friends believe that he is still capable of championship tennis.
 Germany is taking more interest in lawn tennis this spring than ever be- fore. Already big international tour nament, to be played at Hamburg, be- ginning August 26, is announced, and a number of English players will prob ably take part. They should carry off all the prizes, for the game is new in Germany.
 Here the game shows little, if any effect of the new-found craze for golf. Golf has claimed the interest of many old tennis players, but it will be found that nine-tenths of those who desert the tennis courts for the golf links are either too old, too gouty, or too lazy to play tennis. The older game requires much more activity than its rival, and younger men who have enthusiasm and energy seldom prefer the revised edi- tion of ''shinny" which has suddenly sprung into popularity.
 Goodbody's visit last summer had an excellent effect on the game here. His style of play taught the American ex- perts much-needed lesson. Now they

from the top than in former seasons, but both have business cares to occupy their time and do not get the opportun- ity to practice as much as the younger men. Were it not for the fact that they hold the championship at doubles together and that both were beaten last year in close fve-set matches by Goodbody at Newport, they would probably retire on their laurels Good body will give both another chance to regain lost laurels, while third vic tory in the doubles will make the mag7 nifcent challenge cups they now hold their personal property.
 Hobart may play at New Haven in May for the New England champion ship to get back the challenge cup that he lost there last spring to Arthur B. Foote, of Yale Both he and Hovey may be seen at West Newton again in June, while Hovey will defend the Massachusetts state championship and Hobart the New York state challenge cup. Tuxedo will tempt Hobart, and Longwood will have the same fascina- tion for Hovey, as both are close to their respective homes in New York and Boston. Both will play again at Newport-that goes without saying and both will probably go to Narragan- sett Pier the week before in order to get into condition for the championship matches.
 The younger first-class experts, who have more time to play, and who will be seen this season in almost, if not all, the biggest tournaments, are Larned, Chace and Stevens. Of these, Larned is the most promising, and almost in variably wins from Chace when they

hides her defects and heightens, by subtle suggestion, the curves that may or may not be beautiful.
 Such was the remark of a French man who studies millinery. And the particular person he had in mind as he spoke was tall, thin-featured woman of good figure and fair walk, but of plain countenance At least, so you would have judged her. But she looked really charming. She wore a volumin- ous veil, and it was it's arrangement that did so much for her.
 The hat upon which the veil was fastened was modified poke of the Josephine description, turned up in front as Napoleon liked his hat, and down in the back, with dropping side plumes But the veill This was as filmy as bridal veil and almost as broad. It was gathered in a great bunch at the side of the hat, and was then drawn across the face with the folds arranged in the most becoming manner. Across the forehead it was plain, while few curves showed across the middle of the face, but under the chin came the fullness. Probably that woman had thin, disagreeable neck, and the French veil saved her appear ance and made her chic. The pin with which the flowing ends were fastened, after the veil crossed the face, was one of the mystic and beautiful conch- shells, showing now 8 pink face and now a broad sunset hue.

visitor, seems as confident as ever that he could repeat the treatment.
 Goodbody is sure of invitations to play in all of the most important tour naments of all the country as soon as season he did not arrive until late in July, and he is not expected this year until about the same time. The Eng fish championship matches are sched- uled for the first part of July, and Goodbody will probably play at Vim bledon beforeahe comes to America. There are slated here, however, three or four big tournaments, between the time he will probably arrive and the opening of the championship meeting at Newport, August 21. The Irish ex- pert and any other British cracks he may bring with him will be welcome to all.
 Champion Wrenn, Larned, Chace and Rowland all succeeded in beating the foreigner last season, though not all at Newport, and each of these four play CTS will be in harness again this sum- mer. Wrenn will probably be seen in most of the long series of invitation tournaments which precede the cham pionship event, and this should give him an excellent chance to get into his best form. Last July the champion be- gan very badly, and, after losing one match at West Newton, defaulted the others and withdrew, He had started playing without enough practice, and naturally fell down hard. After that first tournament, however, he began to play championship tennis, and lost only two other matches during the sea- son.
 Wrenn is the fourth champion of America since the title was instituted

THE VEIL OF MANY FOLDS.

new feature being the way the trim ming upon the hat brim is placed over the veil. If there is a jeweled bug, he holds the veil upon his antennae, and if flowers are there the veil falls beneath them. Only the very stupid would now tie on veil over the gaudy brim trim mings of the season.
 But to know all the moods and tenses of the veil, you must study it carefully, observe how it appears upon the i'm ported millinery, and, finally, take a few lessons from some one who has been abroad to learn the newest in this very becoming and coquettish article of dress

friend takes hold of the other end. The kind-hearted friend now walks twice around you, putting beautiful band around the hat, which you spike in place with great rhinestone pin of the effective and inexpensive variety.
 Upon the next revolution the K. H. friend covers up the back hair, gather. ing the stray curls in place without concealing them, and handing you the front fold to be spiked in place, also. The small brother here surrenders his end, which, too, is spiked at the chin And again the K H. friend begins to walk around you. She draws the veil across and around the waist of the dress in lovely folds, and finally spikes it to the belt, where it will fly in par allel waves with the long floating end at the neck. This is effective and sim- pie to perform after one rehearsal. It is the style adapted to coaching trips and now seen upon the Pioneer as it whirls away from the Brunswick hotel daily.

should come back again this year, and additional assurances of this intention have been received by some of his friends on this side of the water. h. deed, it is said that we are not only sure of having him with us again this year, but that he will bring with him one or two other British experts. No positive confirmation of this rumor can be secured, but one man, who is in a position to know whereof he speaks says that J. Pim, the champion of Eng land, and H. s. Mahoney, who held the championship of Ireland a few years ago, are also possible visitors for this summer.

meet, as does also Hovey, while Chace, in turn, seems to have some power over Hobart, which is equally mysterious. Larned proved the runner-up last sum- mer at Newport, and was beaten by Goodbody in the finals only after he had secured a commanding lead. At that time many good critics. believed that Larned was the coming champion. Larned is still in college, and he has the youth and strength. energy and ambition necessary to keep on strug gling till he does get on top.
 Ghace, too, will play in most of the biggest events, and he and Larned will be closely watched. Both have shown championship form at times, but neither has yet been consistent. Each has several challenge cups to defend, and in the invitation tournaments, to which both are sure of invitations, they should make a pretty race for first hon. DTS. These two men are the most re- liable players we have to oppose Good body and any other foreigners who may play here next summer.
 Stevens is, perhaps, the most uncer- tain of the whole list. His game has long been considered the best base line play in this country, but he refuses to volley at all, and it seems as though it were impossible for him to play bet ter than he does now. The famous Lawford carried everything before him in England for many years, until the Renshaws came up and learned to vol ley, and then the base-line player fell rapidly from his high position. Stew

This Show Was Too Realistic.

Stage realism was carried to a re- markable extent not long ago in a per- formance given in an interior town. A pack of trained wolves was used in a certain scene, and one made an excur- sion into the audience. While the att taches were engaged in capturing the runaway another wolf attacked the hero, and lively fight took place on the stage. The animals were finally subdued, and the play proceeded; but the audience had enough of realism, and no one was left in the house except the boys in the gallery, who roared themselves hoarse in their excitement, and were fully convinced that they had received the worth of their money.

want to apply what they have learned,
 and all are on edge to try the new the ories and new strokes. They want to show Goodbody, too, that although he did succeed in beating three of Amer ica's strongest players in as many days at Newport last August, he could not repeat that remarkable record. Hovey, Hobart and Larned, who fell before the clever strokes of the visitor, are long ing for another chance at the Irish ex- pert, while Wrenn, who finally did set tie the championship aspirations of the

Providence Police Department.
There are quite q number OF policemen
who are laboring under the impression
that Chief Child does not appreciate their
services from the fact that they have not
been called upon to act as a sergeant,
when, as a matter, OF fact, the chief does
not take any action In the matter what
ever. This In how the appointing OF act
ing sergeants is done:
The chief sends word 10 the different
captains stating that so many acting SER
geants are 20 be appointed, and Tor him
TO present the name OF one or more com
petent men from his squad. But this
does not prevent any other man In the
squad from presenting his name; In
fact, every patrolman can send in his
name. All must undergo the exanina-
ton. and he who makes the best report
is the one to get the appointment,
whether he be recommended by the cap
tain of his station or not. The same is
true in respect to men who want 10 be
patrolmen. The latter, IL physically quail
lied, can undergo the examination and
the best man wins.
In case there should be a vacancy in
the corps OF sergeants, every patroiman
in the force can enter the race, and IL any
show better qualifications than the acting
sergeant, they receive the appointment.
Should there be vacancy in the list OF
captains, any lieutenants or acting nou-
tenants would, should they desire 10 he
captain, be promoted by the civil service
method. All l(scrgeants and acting SER,
geants, are eligible TO the position of
lieutenant, under the same conditions.
SO II can be seen that every member OF
the department has an equal show. When
this method was adopted by the chief
and the police committee IL was so ar
ranged that there could possibly he no

port is returned TO the chief who, In the

tanning No. 16 report show the best re-
turns, envelope 10, containing the man s
name is then opened and then for the
first time Is the mans name known. The
Mayor then nominates him, and the AL
dermen confirm. This relates to all SUI
perior officers. All appointments for pa
trolmen are made by the chief and con-
firmed by the Board OF Aldermen. SO IL
can be seen that no policeman can ip
any way find fault with any OF the off
cials for not giving them chance at
promotion.
