cipation of their dinner at a restaurant
in the Bois. Crowds of carriages
every evening spin rapidly down the
Avenue de Bois, and their owners re-
pair to Armenonville or one of the
other fashionable restaurants.
A type of dress much favored at
Armenonville just now is the black
embroidered aud beaded mousseline
de sole. One Of these becoming gowns
was worn there the other night by one
of our best known elegantes, with
transparent neck and sleeves, the
mousseline being just thick enough,
with its design of roses and leaves, to
allow of the omission of lining. The
embroidery is also introduced into
the skirt above the fiounce. White
foulards, with mauve fiowered designs,
are seen on number of the smartest
people; but there is SO much variety

cent glass vases are out in both large
and small sizes.
There is almost no end to the vari-
ETY. of table furnishings shown in sill
yer plated ware.
Many OF the designs Of flowers and
fruits wrought in silver are taken di-
rectly from nature.
India muslins, fowered taffetas,
French organdies, plain and fancy
grenadines and etamines, batistes and
sheer silky grass linens are among the
favored materials used in making these
lace trimmed summer gowns.
Never before has there been such q
variety of batiste embroidery as there
is this season. Every tint of ecru,
from cream to the brownish flax color,
is represented in these lovely trim
mings, and the latest designs come in
deep flouncings and wide insertions,
with irregular edges and open patterns
exquisitely embroidered in various
colored silks of subdued shades, artis-
tically harmonized.
Feathers and flowers are united in
another large hat of fancy yellow straw
with brim upturned at the back and
standing out fiat at the front and
sides. Pink roses are clustered about
the top of the crown, which is hidden
by deep frill of cream lace. Pink
satin is frilled about the crown and
three pink bows cluster at the back.
Three white tips nod at the left side
of this charming hat.
Yellow and mauve form a very
pretty combination ON light summer
gowns when the tints and textiles are
carefully chosen. Black net over
white satin, and black lace over white
transparents, are the height of style
in Paris. The gowns are finished
either with sashes of silk muslin ear
ried twice around the waist, or of
soft, undressed silk in pale mauve,
pink, lettuce green or black.
A ruche-like arrangement of flowers
is new feature in millinery. In a
large hat Of fancy geranium straw, silk
poppies and buds are wreathed about
the crown over drapery of geranium
red velvet and ribbon. The ribbon
and velvet are formed in standing
loops at the back, where poppies are
punched against the up-turned brim.
A black straw facing relieves the

The picturesque 1880 style is re-

Cream lace is applied full as a facing

the brim and hangs in loop low over
the hair. Yellow chiffon is twisted
softly around the high crown, and at
the left side are disposed four white
erect plumes and one dropping plume.

She made no answer, but her head
bowed lower, and he could see the
great tears rolling silently down her
face.
Suppose he could offer you today
little more than he offered you then,
Irene, what would your answer be?"

she cried. "'You cannot know the
emptiness Of my life or you would not
hold out to me the semblancc of its
rich fullness. 1 deserve my fate

"Only in accepting me, Irene. All,

Mrs. stowe Died In Poverty.

Everyone will be surprised to learn
that Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe died
almost penniless, and that her home
stead is now offered for sale. This
statement, by Mrs. Isabella Beecher
Hooker, herself famous writer, is
made public in letter. The twin
daughters of the distinguished writer
and philanthropist are in actual need.
1t has been proposed that monu-
ment should he erected to the memory
of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, but it
is not question of monuments; it is
question of bread and butter for her
children. The daughters of Mrs.
Stowe have themselves made no ap-
peal for aid. They are ignorant of
the fact that others are making such
an appeal in their behalf
On the same block on which stands
the home in which lived for so many
years Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe,
stands also the home of Mark Twain.

vailing modes is seen in the bathing

ruches, gallons and insertions of lace;

Of an uneven border, under which was
gathered deep founce of Chantilly
lace; the body was of linon, covered
with narrow lace frills, each headed
by narrow band of black satin rib
bon; the sleeves were of the embroid-
cred linon. The hat 'yorn was of
black lace trimmed with ribbon and
black feathers and roses. Black

with patent toes, completed one Of
the most "chic" costumes seen this

Bicycle Girls "Shoo" n Herd of Cows.


An incident which took place on
Poplar street, just west of Ridge ave-
nue., recently, demonstrates conclu-
sively that the new woman has out
grown the most pronounced feminine
follies. Next to a mouse, the object
that inspired the most fear in the mind
of the old fashioned girl was a COW,
but neither of these ferocious animals
seems able to live up to it's past repu-
tation. Two bicycle girls were spin
ming out Poplar street, while coming
from the opposite direction was drove
of cows in the charge of couple of
drovers. Instead of showing the white
feather and fainting from sheer fright,
as most girls would have done ten
years ago, these amazons of the wheel
charged directly at the enemy. The
cows were slow in making a passage
for the wheelwomen, who tried to
"shoo" them aside. One of the girls
got wedged in the centre of the herd,
and, being unable to proceed further,
steadied herself on the wheel by
actually clutching the tail of one Of the
animals and thus was not obliged to
dismount. Finally a clear passage
was made and the two girls rode
through, laughing heartily over their
adventure. Philadelphia Record.

The Transvaal and the Klondike
gold fields are likely to have rival
in South America, according to the
recent reports from that country. A
San Francisco dispatch to the effect
that recent advices from Peru, which
have been confirmed upon good
authority, state that the wonderful
rich strikes reported from the Klon-
dixie region have been eclipsed by dis
coveries in that country. This state
ment is based upon the rediscovery of
the famous Inca gold fields, in the
department of Cuzco and Puma, in the
eastern border of that country, which
has long been famous for its richness
in precious metals. The supply of
gold may run out some day, but there
seems to be no immediate danger of
it. On the contrary, at present it is
greatly on the increase, aud there is
every reason to believe that the argu-
ment of the silverites, that there is
not gold enough to answer the worlds
purposes, is based upon false premi
ses. AT least, the present genera
tion is likely to have all the gold that
it needs for the arts and for money,
and a comfortable surplus beside.
