FASHION NOTES.
New Notions in Summer Costumes for
the Ladies'.

the Ladies.
An operat wrap for midsummer wear
is made of lace flouncing. 1t falls al
most to the feet, and is lined with
glace silk with pink edges. There arc
three caps, the longest Of which falls
about ten inches below the waist line.
These capes are very full, and the gar
ment Is finished at the throat with three
narrow ruffies, as full as they can be
gathered. A profusion Of ribbon trim
ming in bows, loops and ends complete
this dainty and luxurious article.
Full neck rJlchings are to be worn in
the place of the bow to which the wom-
en- have become so accustomed that
they are not willing to dispense with
it even in hot weather. One pretty
model is made of rather stiff grenadine
ribbon, edged with very fine black lace
and plated through the middle. The
ends of the ruching nre tied with fluffy
bows of ribbon, which are fastened with
small hooks. .
Some very handsome capes are made
of heavy net, trimmed with rows of
grenadine ribbon. These capes. ore
made with deep founce, which is
plated after the ribbon is set on. It is
then sewed to q round or square yoke,
being carefully adjusted for effect. :. Al
standing collar or ruche Of lace and rib
bon, with wide ribbons 10 tie at the
front, makes an extremely dressy and
pretty garment.
White will be one Of the ruling sum-
mer colors. White satin and silk arc
lavishly used for trimmings, and ladies
who have old-fashioned cream-colored
brocades may congratulate themselves
on possessing q material that can
scarcely be duplicated. Art rarely sue
ceeds in giving the rich color that time
gives to q fine quality of silk brocade.-

FELINE EXPRESSION.
How Princess Shows Her Moods-Cats
Can Smile.


Can Smile.
If the sentiment of the moment was
love for her master or mistress (the
only persons to whom she ever at
tached herself, it was the deep unut-
terable gaze we know in the dog. If
it was love of her kittens, there was
tenderness and pride which made ma
ternal fondness in the human face seem
tame and foolish. If it was jealousy
and, like most animals, she was ieal-
ous-the term ''green-eyed" monster
had it's full significance, for her irises,
which were amber color, changed their
hue entirely; her pinkish nose and
ears blanched, her face grew peaked,
nearly triangular, in fact, she looked
detestable. But if it was anger or
hatred-and Princess was q good hater
her head hattened like a snakes,
her jaws took the lines of tigers in
miniature, and she had the face of a
devil.
There are other emotions which she
expressed not less wildly; eagerness
i'll pursuit of prey; for she was a great
mouser, and soon cleared the house
of mice and kept the garden free from
moles; here there was nothing saw
age, only a look of intense keen
1,ess, alertuess and pleasure; wistful-
pess, as when she wandered around
the outside of the house in winter, look
ing for an open door or window; de-
spair, when her kittens were taken
from her, or when she saw the prepara-
tions for journey In my room; con-
tentment, when she lay on the table
i'll the evening, between her master and
her mistress, her paws tucked under
her, her eyes half closed, her small
pink mouth half open, showing her
white teeth in genuine smile. 1t was
not the mere cozy, comfortable aspect
of an ordinary cat; it was look of
attention to the smile, not wishing to.

ticed that many cats smile; they do
not grin like dog, or as horses some
times do, but they smirk for half an
hour together. Some cats have
strong sense of fun, and are practical

their faces expressed it, but without a
motion of the risible muscles. The

MARVELLOUS LIVES,
Ono Child with Broken Neck, Another
with q Bullet In Her Brain.

Ono Child with n Broken Neck, Another
with O Bullet In Her Brain.
For 13 years Miss Myrtle Newhart,
of Stroudsburg, Pa, has been living
with a bullet in her brain. She was
shot by accident when She was two
years old.
A physician, who was hastily sum-
moned, probed for the bullet, but failed
10 locate it. 1t entered just above and
slightly in front Of the right ear. One
side of the child was paralyzed by the
shot. She could neither speak, see
nor hear. She remained in that condi
ton for six years, or until she was
eight years old. Then paralysis par
tally left her, and she was able to walk
little. When she arrived at the age
Of IL years she was able to see, and her
parents were overj rjoyed whenshe began
to lisp the baby talk she knew before
the accident occurred. Later it was
found she could hear.
Medical experts from various cities
have made critical examinations of the
girl. They consider the case one of
the most marvellous on record. The
young lady Is to-day the picture of
health. She is four feet eleven inches
in height, and weighs 100 pounds.
Hr parents tried to teach her figures
and letters, but it seems her memory
is too short to retain them. Her only
amusement day after day is looking at
pictures.
Miss Abby McCully fell from ham,
mock last September and broke her
neck. She was removed few days
ago from the POSTGRADUATE hospital,
where she has been confined since the
accident.
Miss McCully Is the daughter of
John V. McCully, piano manufacturer.
She was spending her summer vaca'
tion with an aunt In Jersey City when
the accident took place. She was
swinging by herself in a hammock on
the veranda when she suddenly lost
her balance and fell backward to the
floor. When she was picked up few
minutes later she was unconscious.
nnd the physician who was called
found that the fifth vertebra of the
spinal column was fractured.
Little hope was entertained for her
recovery, but she was finally removed to
the POSTGRADUATE hospital. There,
after q further examination of the in.
juries, it was decided to perform an
operation. The operation was a sue
cess.
Later, however, when her recovery
was almost certainty, blood poison
ing developed, and she hovered for
long time between life and death.
The blood poisoning, it is claimed, was
due to bruise on one of the lower ribs,
which, it is alleged, had escaped the
observation of the physicians.
Miss MeCully is 16 years old. She
says she is perfectly happy and that
she is sure that she will get well. She
lies on q water bed and is surrounded
by water bags.-N. Y. Journal.

THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS.


Veteran of the Diamond and His Friend

"Oh, yes, Iplayed in those days. Base

tleman sighed over what he evidently
regarded as the decadence of the great
national game, "Now they get nine men

The whole thing is nothing more or less
than animated mechanism. Then we
had live ball, and 1 used to swing O.
hickory bat pretty nearly as long as

came off when I made hit. The crowd
would hear something like q Shrek Of

three runs In ahead of me.

tired veteran of the diamond began
making diagram while his hearers
grouped about him "Here's where we
played at New Castle Pa, with the old
Neshannocks. Charlie Bennett was
catching. Here runs the Ohio river,
way to the rear of the grounds, which
lay open to the high bluffs which mark
the bank. Now, Bennett was doing
some mighty batting, and fellow from
college nine was giving him a tight
race. Each one of them rolled n bali
over the bluff and began to fear for
my laurels. But the third time up saw
one coming that just suited. settled
well on my feet, concentrated all my;
strength for one supreme effort, swung
old hickory, and when that ball quit
going it struck water half way across

white about the mouth, but rallied with

you were there, and it was day of mir
acles, for you went down to the river
and caught ten-pound bass that was
served that night at the hotel"
What fisherman could resist such O.
temptation with the beautiful lie all
framed for him?
Judllin flushed and inflated with
pride. The two jolly rogues went out
together. Before the evening was over.
that ball had been knocked nearly o.

yond the river and that bass was Is

eARLY MORNING.

The sweetest hour Of all the day
Is that before the rise of sun,
When gone are all the shadows gray,
And daily toll not yet begun.
The mists still hang above the hills,
And wrap them In O fieecy veil;
Each opening flower perfume distills,
And on the air its sweets exhale.
The birds now sing their softest notes
From 'mong the branches of the trees,
While from across the field there floats
An answering note upon the breeze.
The chipmunk, nimble acrobat.
Spins swiftly round and up the treei
So swift, indeed, his movements, that
The eye can scarce the creature see.
Awakening life is oil around.
Life full of happiness and joy;
There's softe6t music in each sound.
So gently tender and SO coy.
All things SO fresh and pure and clean.
The air we breathe. the earth we tread
Give life joy and zest most keen.
And sweeter taste to daily bread.
I love tho early morning hour,
The best by far of all the day.
So full Of peace and quickening power
To meet whate'er Is In the way.
