upper deck is very roomy and attractive
in appearance Work was begun upon
her at once in order to make everythi ng
shipshape for her route to the islands 1t
is expected that she will make her first
trip from the end of Custom House wharf

Narrow Escape From Fire.

Mr.. Charles Latham, who has a cottage
on Long Island, had a narrow escape
from a serious fire on his premises Sun
day. On account of the damp weather the
family placed some wood in the oven to
dry and one of the pieces ignited. 1t was
thrown out on the wet piazza but the
stick rolled back and set fire to the side
of the cottage. When the family dis
covered the blaze they thought of the
tub on the piazza filled with rain water
and the flames got good dousing while

A PLEASANT TIME.
The PRESS and Argus Carriers Picnic at
Sebago Lake.

4 Arriving at Sebago Lake by the s. 45
train yesterday, the PRESS and Argus
carriers with their substitutes enjoyed
their annual picnic. Immediately upon
the arrival on the grounds, the first in
order was the ball game. AS of old, the
Argus team couldn't play ball, and this
inability was the most noticeable feature
of the game. 1t was the same as last
year, all one sided, as the following score
shows:
Press, 9 8 0 z 16 4 10 9 KS
Argus, 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 l.
At one o'clock the boys, to the number
of about fifty, sat down to the fine dinner
set before them at the Sebago Lake
house, and to say that they did justice to
the eatables would be putting it mildly
After dinner various minor sports We're
INDUCED in, then the party went to the
grove and had their photographs taken.
The boys returned on the 30 train, all
agreeing that it was most enjoyable
day.

lcoPYRfGHr. lso4.l

It is debutante,s tea. Poor debu- tantel One wonders what there is in life for debutantcs, anyway, us one watches her standing near the door, near the dowager mother, smilingly greeting newcomer, smilingly speed ing an outgoer, smilingly standing still, at momentary intervals, when there comes gap in the ever-moving process sion. One looks about at the two or three hundred people present, and pities Miss Dcbutante, and wonders how many of the faces she will recall in the weeks to follow, when the tea is followed by dinners, receptions and balls. The girls that have come to help her are having little better time of it. They, at least, can walk about, and talk to those that they know, and pour tea for the very few young men that have dcigned to drop in, md look generally charming in their pretty dcmi toilettes.
 But there is some comfort for the poor child noar the door, Beneath the polite society smile there is a genuine one, and I blush to say that it is be- cause she is gratifed at her own ap- pearance. But can you blame her? . Stand off a little, and study the slcn- der, dark maiden, with the clear, white face. How the soft. fluffy white mus lin becomes her, and the pretty ribbon tied at the shoulders; and the baby puffs, and the satin sash that floats as she turns quickly to shake hands with the only man she knows in the whole company.
 S1flSfled the company. Society hasn't tired her yet, and she cannot get used to the thought that all of these people are here for the purpose of doing her honor her, who was schoolgirl only yes terday, and now is being presented to these fair, richly robed> women! She has the instincts of her sex strong within her, and has noted not few of the brilliant costumes with which she has shaken hands.
 A rich golden brown velvet, touched with fine embroideries in gold she has secretly admired; cloth in powder blue, with trimming of silver fox, and collar and yoke of sea shell piuk velvet, with big black hat surmounting the whole; daintier one of brocaded satin in soft green, touched with old rose, trimmed with passcmenterie of same tints; dark brown crepon, with yoke and sleeve trimmings of cream satin, edged with narrow sable, and a brighter bit of color added by a turquoise velvet collar; another brown, fine cloth, with flashes in the slashed bodice of pale blue satin, with much jet trim ming and a little fur; black cloth with white satin and ermine trim nings; a zibeline of quiet black and

It was encircled with crush of green velvet and scarf of rare lace. Black plumes held them down, assisted by small violet punches, and over the back dropped spray of palest pink blossoms. .eaa
 The debutante thought complacently of her own beautiful wardrobe, and felt even more pleased. It might sur prise you to know it's extent for the fashionable debutante requires as com plete an outfit as does the fashionable bride. She has been getting ready these six months past, and the girls head is full of the occa sions at which these costumes may be worn.
 Her ball gowns are simple and befit- ting the bud. Simple muslin, chiffon, or white silk, cut round and rather high, with shoulder puffs and much satin ribbon, are always most suitable. Dinner gowns may be more elaborate, and need not be in the white of the ballgown. Pinks, pale greens, blues or yellows, are equally appropriate, al- though the satin of the dress should be softened by chiffon or other youthful trimmings.
 The street gowns differ from others in no respect, except, perhaps, that their trimming is less elaborate than that of the ordinary woman. Jet should be used sparingly. if at all; fur is al- ways en regle; satins are effective and fashionable, and all braids but the rich- CT passementeries are employed with good effect. The trimming should be confined to one or two materials-fur and satin, satin or braid. and so on. The costume which includes fur, passs- menterie, jet and satin, in it's compoSi- tion, should not be relegated to tns. debutante. Her tailor-made gownss should be of the simplest-plain covert cloth. serge or other twill or cheviot- Or she may dispense withthis entirely

.rhe Literary shop."

Jolly James L. Ford's head hasn't been turned in the least by the success of his book, '"rhe Literary Shop" It is good, solid, well-shaped head and rests on stout neck which is, again, articulated with robust and well-knit body-which physical outfit is precisely what one would suppose while reading the book. "The Literary Shop" is a merciless revelation of the hidden ma chinery of the book and magazine trade, and chides the charlatanry of the profession with healthy satire and pungent wit suppose MT. Ford's chapters upon Robert Bonner, Under wood Johnson and Mir. Edward J. Box are the funniest, but there is world of wisdom in his advice to young writers to avoid the dangerous society of good women. It is by quip and paradox that Ford punctures pretense and by sunny humor that he unveils cant. Of course, such book sets all the book makers chuckling-except few of those who are lashed by its satire and are too stupid or sensitive to take joke-and l find that the non-profes- sional reader appreciates 1t as keenly.
