A New York Fairy Tale.

He was a New Yorker, and proud of

boasted of the city's fine boulevards,
and drove the New Yorker over them,
he failed to excite in his guest more

brought up the subject of tall build

Chicago beats the world" he said.
"Our tall buildings top anything ever
erected"
well, well'' said the New Yorker,
that's queer Ever heard of that
building in New York that the clouds
bump against? Never heard of it,
eh? I'll tell you something about it.
When they put the last story on it a
workman fell off the top. Some time
later l was passing along the street
below when a newsboy yelled: 'Extry!
Full account of the accident
bought a paper and it described how
the man toppled off and all that. But

What was it? Why, the workman, of
course He'd just reached the ground" !"

A FAMOUS MARRIAGE MART.
Death of Auld Willie Laing, Last of
the Gretna Green "Priests.''

With the death of Willie Iaing, the
last of the Gretna Green priests" in
terest has revived in that romantic
place Gretna Green naturally became
the center of the Scottish marrying
trade, as it was the first village over
the border, and only nine miles from
Carlisle. Indeed, if the pursuit was
very hot, the fugitives could be hastily
united still sooner at the dollhouse, the
very first building across the little
River Sark, which forms the boundary
of the debatable land There for many
years resided Simon Beatie, who united
the professions of toll collector and ven
dor of ale, porter and spirituous liquors
with the still more profitable one of
priest at runaway marriages. He was
always on the lookout for couples, and
so impetuous were his proceedings that
it became dangerous task to pass his
toll-gate.
All the more important marriages
however, were celebrated in the village
itself, at Gretna Hall, a hotel which
was kept for many years by John Lin
ton. There the weary travellers could
rest awhile, and there they could obtain
fresh horses to continue their journey
The brilliant genius to whom the idea
of founding this matrimonial business
seems first to have occurred was Joseph
Paisley, tobacconist, for, though gem
orally believed, it is an entire myth
that the Gretna Green priest was, or
even had been, blacksmith. He es-
tablished marrying shop at the

THE TAVERN OF CASTLE CRAG

The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
In the heart of the Sierras, almost at
the foot of Mount Shasta and amid
the most picturesque mountain scenery
accessible To the tourist. The eligibil-
ity of the place selected was due to a
rare combination of flowing water, in
spring mountain scenery and inviting
forests.
The Tavern of Castle Crag, with its
splendid environment, it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek
a sumemr resort for health, recreation,
outdoor sports, sympathy with nature
and informal sociability. To empha-
size this intention and signify the kind
of invitation extended. the. name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
To avoid all implication of sumptuous
accommodations or the tyranny of So
cial Journalism, and to realize this orig
inal conception, the management has
decided TO make the Tavern OF Castle
Crag distinctively a family resort; and
especially attractive to those to whom
health, recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations.
To this end rooms on the first and Sec
ond floors of this splendid taxern with
board viii be furnished at a monthly
rate of 500 person; and rooms on the
third floor with board at monthly
rate of $50 a person.
The accommodations of the Tavern
are first class in every particular Its
parlors and halls are elegant and spac-
ious. It's verandas are cool and invit-
ing. placing the guest always in the
presence of the most attractive noun
tain scenery to be enjoyed from the
h.,1n .NFn tox-
The opportunity for outdoor sports
embraces hunting. fishing, riding, BIZ
cycling, walking on mountain paths
and driving on picturesque roads TIE
Tavern is located Immediately on the
main trunk line of the California &
Oregon Railroad, and is fourteen hours
ride from San Francisco, twelve hours
from Stockton, ten hours from Sacra-
mento, thirty hours from Los Angeles
and twenty-three hours from Portland
The Tavern of Castle Crag is reached
from San Francisco and Sacramento
without loss of time. The train leaves
San Francisco at ) o'clock y. m. arriy-
ing early the following morning for
breakfast, which is always ready upon
the arrival of the train. Returning. the
train time affords equal accommoda-
ton. Thus both in going and in COM
ing the comforts of the passenger and
the economy of his time have been
studied In brief, the Tavern of Castle
Crag realizes to its guests the perfect
ideal of that spring-time in the high al
titudes of the Sierras which never be-
comes high summer, and is the COM
Portable home of pleasing recreation
and restful repose.

Every woman who likes a garment
that is at once neat, cool and comfort
able is glad to know that nOtwithstand-
ing for certain uses the shirt waist mas
been ostraciZed, it has still retained its
place among the useful, almost neceS-
sary garments for the summer Never
was the early display of hot weather
waists prettier or more diversified than
the present exhibit. There are num-
ber of morning waists of linen, percale,
lawn and plain gingham, made with
fiat pointed yokes tucked either dag
onally or up and down in clusters, and
some are so arranged from shoulder to
belt. The muttOn-leg or bishop sleeves
are shaped with little or no extra full
ness from the elbow down, and the en-
tire sleeve is small. On sleeves to wear
beneath blazers or other jackets, the
sleeve is cut in narrow shirt sleeve
fashion, with only fullness enough at
the top to give freedom to the upper
arm. Short boleros worn with English
serge skirts and shirt waists will be
used for cycling, mountain climbing and
mornings on the beach. Indeed, bo-
lero or Eton in one of its Protean shapes
seems still an Indispensable article of
wear. All sorts of Open-fronted jack
cts are still to prevail, and the sleeve
less vests and waists provided to wear
with them cannot be counted. Silks in
India and China weaves, foulards, shep
herds checks and hair stripes are SO
very inexpensive that they are really
more economical purchase than cottons
and linens that go weekly to the laun-
dry. They are cooler, they cling less
in hot weather, they are certainly
smarter and are suitable for more occa-
sions than wash waists, however pref
ty These latter garments have their
own special worth, however and atleast
three of them should be counted among
the necessaries of the summer outfit.
Red will undoubtedly prove a very
fashiona BILE color this summer for hats

Many waists and vests to wear under
open-fronted jackets are made with an
inch wide or even wider tucks, across
the yoke portion, fashion very favora-
BILE to slender figures, but by no means
becoming to those who need nothing to
accentuate width. Horizontal trimming
is most popular, but, as just stated, it
is better suited to tall shadow women
than to those whose inches are fewer
and whose breadth is considerable.
The round waist in all it's fascinating
guises contests for favor with countless
and constantly varying little coat
basques and jackets, very short, very
smart, and very much trimmed. Some
times the basque part is cut in one with
the waist, and sometimes added on. In
other cases the jacket or basque is con-
fined to the back only, while the fronts
are pointed or rounded. The back is
in one seamless piece, and is silk
stitched in several fine pjleats just at
the waist line, then allowed to flare in
a little birds tail position. Short jacket
fronts made by leading French cOutur-
ieres open on full vests of any soft ma
terial that can be tucked or arranged
in effective surplice folds.
Fairy frills of ACCORDION pleated
tulle, organdie. grenadine, silk etamine,
plain, tucked, lace-edged or bordered
with rows of the very narrowest bebe
ribbon in satin, MORE or velvet, Will
rage all summer, and they will ripple
all over the toilet, from the parasol and
the top of the picture hat to the hens
of the airy skirt and the silk petticoat
The most charming little capes are a
succession of accordion -pleated frills,
and dress skirts are trimmed with
them around the bottom, half way up,
or their entire length. They form an
airy, Frenchy and fascinating grani
ture. and they are as expensive and
ephemeral as they are attractive.

gowns designed for special occasions.
Ribbon, on the contrary. can be advan-
tageously employed on every sort of
gown or hat indiscriminately, so to
speak, if only the colors are carefully
selected and choice of width and dis
posal are alike subject to intelligent,
tasteful consideration. When one is
in doubt. black or dark velvet ribbon
is the safe choice. 1t is always be-
coming and it forms a rich contrast to
the flowers or other trimmings used.
Vienna cashmere in exquisite tones
and semi-tones and as fine and soft of
surface as India silk is made into ideal
gowns for demi-dress wear. Some of
the gowns are combined with faille or
taffeta silk the shade of the cashmere;
others are decorated with braid, milli-
ners' folds, accordion-pleated frills or
satin ruches and few of the latest
gowns of this description have knee
deep skirt trimmings.
A feature of French importations for
summer is fine silk and wool textiles,
etamines, cashmeres, basket weaves,
ETC.. in their natural tints, ecru or gray,
the wool undyed and undressed just as
it comes from the LOOM These goods
are roughly woven; they are very light,
but strong enough for service and
unique enough in effect to find favor
