At the end OF the Investigation. which seemed
70 please every one except Dunraven. the club,
IN recognition OF Mr.. Phclps's and Capt. Ma
nan services. elected them honorary members
OF me organization. While this was all very
wei IN It's way, q number of the members
thought that they deserved some moro gu bstan-
tiai recognition for tho disintcrested work they
had done during the Investigation. So It was
declded TO present q cup to each. and an order
was placed with Tiffany & Co. for two hand
some silver vases. These vases. which weigh
about seventy ounces and stand about eighteen
inches high, are n graceful tribute from the
club TO the mon who were largely responsible
Tor the success OF last years investigation.

HINTsFoR THE HOME LAUNDRY.

The difficulty experienced by house
keepers generally in having washing
done at home causes many who can i'll
afford the expense to send theiv clothes
to laundries, where inferior soap and
injurious washing fluids are used,
while if proper attention is given the
work it may be done quite as satfsBac-
torily in the home laundry.
Assert the clothes, divide the table
and bed linen from the wearing apparel,
and the fine garments from the colored.
First immense the white articles in
hot water and wash carefully with
Ivory soap. After all are taken through
the suds, put in a tub, pour boiling wa
ter over them, let cool, wash out in clear
water, rinse in blue water, wiring,
starch and hang on the line. The col
ored clothes should then be washed
in the same way, without scalding.
When all are dry they should be taken
from the line, sprinkled, folded evenly
and laid in the clothes basket. The
ironing must be done with hot, clean
irons, and the clothes hung up to air.

of a year or SO ago. The paradise
plumes sre very expensive and hardly
usual. Cocks plumage, aigrettes and
even the head of the bird are used upon
fancy hats, SO that eve the chopped-off
and hitherto worthless head of the table
chicken may have its uses. Flower trim
mings pass away with the summer.
They will still be worn, of course, but
less than now, and there is a perfectly
amazing lease of life in the black and
white combination. White cocks
feathers with dyed black ostrich plumes
make a very much admired effect.
As plain straw conquered during the
summer e the fancy patterns and
plaids, plain felts, v~elvets, cut velvets
and silks will form the basis of the au-
tumnal hats. There are, however, fancy
braidings in plenty. Some are folded
bias strips of taffeta silk or velvet; some
are combinations of chenillecord, either
black silk chenille with heavy folds of
white raw silk wadding, or chenille
braided with velvet and adorned with
crystal, jet and cut beads, or horsehaIr
lace embroidered with chenille cord and
strips of satin.
The most popular hat shape of the
early autumn will be without any ques-
ton q medium-sized brim, fiat or nearly
so in front, but fared on the left and
behind, with a full wide cap crown of
moderate height, not over three inches
high. Whatever the trimming it will
include n jutting plume or bow stand
ing straight up well above the crown.

T-copYRIoHr, lSs6.1


Beautltul old Lenox was never in such
glorious mood as now, when all the roads
are in their splendor Of perfect condi-
ton, when the gardens Of the cottages
are preening their autumn colors and
the streets are waking to their life with
the opening of the season.
! ought not to say streets" Lenox
has only roads. There are here no traces
Of the urban. There isn't a big shop
ia the place. There isn't even a "place."
The post Office is such a one as might be
found in any other rural crossroads set
Element like this. There are q few little
curio and knick-knack shops, slowed
away in private houses often enough.
There is a railway station, but it is q
xamshackle affair and three miles away.
I win tell you a secret. None of the cot
fagers wants it nearer. In their car
Tiages they can cover the distance quick
" enough, and It keeps away a crowd.
Many Of the cottagers use the new and
fne station at Stockbridge. They drive
to the shops in Pittsfeld or send to New
York. Thus the place retains its rural
charm in spite of what is the most ex-
t~E&OIulHAHy COllGCClpn OF u houses
in America. The cottages at Newport
have rather the suburban character, but
here each princely dwelling is inclosed
by its W broad acres 800 of them,
500 Oh 1,OO0-with barns and grazing
cattle.
Lenox is one of the few places in the
world where 500 acres of land three
miles from the post office will sell for
more than 500 times as much as one acre
on the main street. The bigger the plot
of ground the more it is worth per acre.
The splendid estate bought for young
Harry Payne Whitney by an indulgent
Y papa, caps the climax. Here is a fine
Nscenery, here are pretty woodland lakes,
here are hundreds of laborers working
like beavers to produce such a quick
transformation as would have defied
Aladdin. There are 1000 acres of noun
tain land in the estate. Of course, nc
commanding mansion is yet reared on
these Whitney acres, and twill have to
be a palace indeed to exceed Ehe wonders

o half a dozen others. In the meantime
young Whitney and his bride will love

It is the very beginning of the Lenox
season, but these breezy knobs stand
1900 feet above the sea and there is
chill in the air. AS if by magic the APP
pearance of the women has changed
and to The huttering lnery of the silly
season succeed good stout and even fur
cloth. There are new things in cloaks
and capes every hour. The English and
unlovely box driving coat, with its enor-
mous cape sleeves, still distigures the
fairest forms and finds excuse for its
ugliness in its smartness. 1t is marked
by heavy seams well away from the
edges, by wide collars, by big buttons
no more than two on a side.
New bicycle coats have made their APP
rearance which are very simple yet
neat, with their wide collars and quite
full skirts falling over the hips. They
are meant to button up snugly in chill
weather and have a natty look.
A noticeable feature of many of the
fall is their use of white straps
and tabs by way Of decoration. A SUI
perbly fitting travelling cloak will, for
instance, fasten or appear to fasten
with a simple big button at the right
shoulder. 1t will be dark gray or rough
brown or of other substantial color,
with triple-stitched white collar and
cuffs and no break below them in the
long lines of the garment except for a
white strip peeping out for three or four
inches at the waist. Only a woman with
a fne figure can stand such a garment.
1t is all golf. Carriage driving and
the guiding Of dashing four-in-hands
has always been the particular fad in
Lenox. but the "bit maulies" of bent
wood. the Craigenputtocks and other
things with outlandish names and
shapes are in every fair hand nowadays
Rough tweeds appear most often on the
putting-green. The cut is a shade short

not SO short as the extreme bicycle

PERFECT HEALTH
How It May Be Obtained By
An Interesting sit cf History Is Told
bx q TraveMnE b
From ths World, qleD.Iaad, ohto.

From the World, Cleveland, Ohio.
AFTER an extended trip lasting several
months and embracing many points Of In
terest throughout the West and South, Mr..
George Lockhart, o. Bldson, Ohio, returned
homo a few days ago. He is bright and
genial as ever and looks as IL his long holt
day had thoroughly agreed with him.
Mr.. Lockhart's business during histravels
took him frequently to Hot Springs and
other health resorts. He does not appear to
nave been very favorably impressed with
the peculiarities Of life at such places, nor
with the benefits received by the patients.
"Men go there to get cured Of disease y says
be. "They take one hot bath In the morn
ing and spend the rest Of the day generally
in drinking, gambling and general dissipa-
ton. How they can expect to recover un-
der such treatment passes my comprehen-
sion. But they are, as q rule, what the
world calls good fellows, free with their
money and bent on enjoying themselves.
"Wfth one man, however, whom l met ct
u q place l formed what / hope u prove
a permanent friendship. / am Indebted to
him for benefits which have left on my
mind a feeling Of the strongest gratitude.
/ was, as you know, not at all well. A
slight 1ameness in my right leg, contracted
about q year .ago, had gradually become
worse until / was compelled to goaround on
crutches all the time. Then my general
health failed, until in the latter part OF the
summer l had about concluded to come
home to die. Such q state of affairs as you
will easily understand, was anything but
comfortable. / was, in fact, neither more
nor less than 3 helpless invalid, o nuisance
to myself and everybody around me. IL was
at this juncture that one day on the train /
fell into conversation with the man mem
ton. He recommended me to try DR., Will
liams' Pink Pills. / did so. You see the
result.D
And Mr.. Lockhart expanded his broad
chest and smiled. "Look here,n he con-
tinued, as he took of his hat and holding ii
on a level with his head, kicked it easily
with the foot that used to be lame. No bet
ter picture of perfect health and abounding
animal spirits could be wished for than this
une-time invalid.
"My future movements are uncertain
said Mr.. Lockhart at parting. II will re
main in Hudson for some time, but before
the summer is over 1 expect to make a visit
to Europe.".
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a con-
denseG form, all the elements necessary ia
give new life and richness to the blood and

specific for troubles peculiar to females,

ing weaves. Canvas of a creamy hue is
better liked than the more trying blue
white tones, the delica .ely tinted lin
ings are de riguer, showing lumin-
nusly through the creamy meshes.
Ribbon in every width, color and pat
tern is prodigally used for stocks,
girdles, belts, sashes ard shoulder bows,
as we'll as for any other sort of decora-
ton that fancy can devise for waist
or skirt. The ribbon stock is still
ubiquitous and with the matching belt
garnitures is often the saving grace of
a gown. 1t is likely that the craze for
gay-patterned ribbon will decline by an
other season, and that plain rich weaves
in satin, taffeta and velver will survive
the fancy varieties. 1t is very certain
that velvet in all widths will be one of
the very fashionable dress and hat garni-
lures next season. KATE DUNBAR.
