A Boy and a millionaire.

One day not long ago a boy who ha'
worked for four years in Marshall Field
store, asked for raise in his salary. H,
was getting 81 week and he thought
he ought to have more. So he asked his
superintendent and the superintendent
referred him to the manager, and the
manager leaned back in his chair and
said:
"You must see Mr.. Field himself, He
regulates all raises in salary"
After week of disappointments the boy
succeeded in gaining adnittance to Mr.
Fields office. With shaky voice he asked
for raise in salary.
How long have you worked here p
asked the millionaire.
Pour years"
And how much are you getting?"
Pour dollars week."
How old are you?"
Fifteen years Old"
"Why," returned Mr.. Field, when
was your age was working for $3.50 a
week, and l thought l was well paid
What do you think OF that?
Perhaps you weren't as valuable a
boy as | am, was the respectful reply.
1t isn't chronicled what was next said
but the boy got his raise.

of bretelle sets We're shown, where black
and white lace were used together with ex-
cellent effect There would be a row Of
ribbon overlaid with white insertion in
mechlin or venetian point. The bretelles
would be held together In the back by u
bow of the same ribbon, and there would
be a belt of the same. The black lace,
either chantilly or thread, would then be
gathered to the shoulder parts very full, to
hang out over the shoulders like caps. In
some cases the black lace is brought to-
gether across the front and draped up I'M

VIII Leave the Elbow Free-Century
Old Fashions For the Century End.
This is now the time when the summer
season has eliminated as far as fashion is
concerned, and as yet there is very little
for autumn ready for inspection. At any
rate there is not much in che retail houses.
They are never ready to put autumn goods
or gowns before public gaze until the last
Of the summer things are disposed of.
They are making unheard Of efforts to sell
all their summer stock now, and it is
positive fact that shirt waists and thin
summer gowns and hats adapted only for
summer wear are being offered OF less than
cost.
These sales will continue well into Au-
gust, and it would pay any lady to buy
certain things now, such as are of standard
quality and color. For instance, there are
children's white lawn frocks, with bishop
sleeves and fancy lace or embroidery yokes
and other trimming, for sale at 81. 90 each,
and these are very well made and large
enough for girl of 8 or 0. There are
crash and linen skirts for ladies, very SOL
idly made, for $l.70 each, and whole BIZ
cycle suits Of tan and gray covert suiting
at $685. In each of these suits there are
five pieces. And now organdies, dimi-
ties and fancy batistes are offered at the
uniform price of 10 cents yard. The soft
printed japanese dress silks for summer
wear are offered from 10 to 20 cents for
fancies, in stripes or fancy figures, and the
lovely taffeta ribbons in five and six inch
widths are sold at 10 cents yard.

And, by the way, the heavy silks will be In
for next season. The waist was plain and
smooth and open V shape to show a vest
of white silk null laid in deep plaits
There was very rich jetted revers collar
This came to the bottom of the waist in
front, ending in a point, and the epaulet
slashes reached out widely over the upper
puff. The skirt was plain all around ex-
cept down the front breadths, where there
were two rows of rich jet trimming. 1t is
said that jet and all kinds of spangled
trimming will be very largely worn the
coming season A favorite manner of pro-
ducing it Is to have the beading done on
crepe lisse or chiffon, and this is then
placed on the dress material and tackled
down, and all chiffon between the design
is cut away. Done in black chiffon or lisse
and laid over white or some plain light
colored stuff, it is exquisite.
saw one piece of black chiffon which
was made especially to trim q dress for
Mrs Ogden Goelet The chiffon had small
medallions of white point lace set on and
the underpart cut away. Around the me-
dallions there were row of different col
ored glass beads and vine pattern in jet
beads wrought upon the surface; SO that
the lace medallions became the blossoms
to the vine Then below this were two
straight lines of iridescent spangles, with
O narrow row of lace between them.
Below this was another close vine, with
green black berries done in emerald and
garnet beads There was also a scalloped
border, made with lace medallions, picked
out by beads and spangles.
This piece of work was ten inches wide
and cost $25 yard 1t was to be made up
into fancy collar and plastron. 1t re-
quires almost four yards-rather dear col
lar when one thinks how soon 1t will go
out of style.
There was another piece of work done tG
order. This however, will never go out
of style us long as women love lace. This
was lace front The lace was old point

all the Melted mesh cut away This was

and the neck was finished with full ruche
of silk null
Outing gowns are marked by neatness
and style and finish more than by any SUI
perfluity of fanciful trimming. Striped
silks, where the stripes are SO adjusted as
to form points or other apparent ornamen-
ation, are often SEEM Black, dark brown,
dark blue and deep cardinal are the con-
trasts with white in these stripes.
There was royal purple faille silk over
an underdress of lilac shades In notified

edge of the dark silk was bound with

dates from the days when Cornelia drag
ged forth her children to display them az
her jewels The peplum of this season ID
modest and tentative 1t consists in
sort Of very short oyerskirt cut so as to
fall in loose and rather classic folds and
points. The peplum Is generally made
separate from the skirt and fastens around
the waist under q belt, In some cases it
is sewed to the waist, and some have round
jet buttons fastened to the points. The
beplum may be 10 inches deep, or 1t may
be 6. That Is a matter for private taste
The peplum Is not for stout ladies.
Sleeves promise to be rather prettier than
the first ugly departures from the large leg
o. mutton were. They seem to be divided
into two classes-those for comfort and
those for style. The comfort sleeve Is q
simple modification of the large ones, with
the addition of neat cuff of some kind
or slashed trimming or a ruffie. The
very stylish sleeve Is tight to the shoulder,
and there Is short but very stiff puff,
which Is made to stand out almost straight
from the shoulder This would not be 80
noticeable II the sleeve was not 80 tight
The collars mentioned above are worn to
advantage over these stiffly pulled sleeves.
The bell sleeve, so called, is the evolu-
ton Of the "cap." This kind Of sleeve is
plated or gathered into the arm size and
falls down straight and loose over the arm.
Up to the present it has been seen only on
Eouave and Elton jackets and on short
mantle wraps, but was told at one
house where fashions are made fashiona-
BILE that handsome gowns would have bell
sleeves and that these would be very rich
ly trimmed with GALLON and embroidery.
The sleeves may and often will be of vel
vet and embroidered with heavy twist and
beads.
Another style of sleeve likely to find IA
yor will be snug up to the elbows and
from there 1t will be slashed, having little
puffs of silk or satin peeping through the
slashes. These are pretty without doubt
and set into princess gown would be
picturesque and medieval
There seems to be disposition to Gull
out all the prettiest ideas and bring them
together for the end of this century. am
sure that the medium sized gigot and ell
bow puff will be fashionable all winter,
only the folds in each will droop Imply
and they will not take so much cloth.
One very pretty sleeve had series Of
shirred puffs from the shoulder to the
wrists. Each puff was divided from the
other with three close shirrs, and at the
waists there were puffs of white silk mus
| lin to match that around the neck of the
dress. This was of black grosgrain silk

Literary Notes.

The Scientific American recently cele-
brated its fiftieth anniversary and did it
in very creditable manner. The ami
versary number of the paper contained
70 pages that comprised review OF the
progress of the industrial arts and
sciences during the past fifty years.
The illustrations appear to have been
chosen with a strict regard for their his
toric interests and readers will linger
long over such views as those of the
American. steamer, Arctic, the fast
est vessel on the Atlantic in 1852, Morae's
pendulum instrument of 1887 and his
telegraph receiver of 1871, Edison's first
photograph, the Patent Office models OF
Howe's and Wilson's sewing machines,
the first safety" bicycle, the first
Mccormick reaper, the original Franklin
hand press, cuts of the early forms OF the
telephone and electric motor and many
another engraving of historic interest
The subjects which have necessarily been
crowded out OF the illustrated columns
are more briefly noted in a very readable
article at the commencement OF the paper,
and not the least interesting feature is
the admirable essay on the progress OF
invention during the past fifty years
which won the $3.50 prize, offered by
the editors, for the best essay on this
subject. The paperis handsomely inclosed
in cover which is appropriate to the
nature and scope of its contents. The
price of the special issue is 10 cents

on Whittier by the editor h. o. Flower,
and is certainly the most delightful Of
the series so far. Mr.. Flower is bril-
liant and at the same time sympathetic
writer, and while from literary point
Of view this paper is admirable, its great
charm lies in bringing us so near to the
heart and soul, to the real inner life OF
the gentle Quaker, one Of the most loved
of Americas great poets. The same
number contains the first Of series of
photographers of Literature, Dealing
with Vital, Social and Economic Prob
lems," which will fill want long felt by
students of social and economic prob
lens. This first photography deals with
the land and the land question, and is

Agricultural State College of Kansas
The Vermonter for August opens with
an extended sketch of the late Gov. ].
Gregory Smith, written by Samuel Will
liams, who was secretary o. civil and
military affairs. The article is profusely
illustrated. An obituary is given of the
late Isaac N. Camp of Chicago, who was
a native of Elmore. Principal Kelly Of
st. Johnsbury contributes an article
upon Summer Schools for Teachers, u
from which it appears that summer
schools are run in FIVE towns in the STATE
and that 600 teachers attend these
schools. Several pages of picturesque
scenes in the Green Mountain state are
given, including glimpses of Mt. Mans
field and Caspian lake.
