Dainty Wrapa.

Summer wraps have O variety in form
this season which ought to furnish q
suitable model for every style of figure;
but, making a satisfactory selection
seems to be quite as difficult as ever.
There are round capes ruffied with silk
lace and chiffon; mantles, pelerines
and mantillas, coats and jackets of every
imaginable shape; but the dominant
style in London is a close, short Jacket
with cape sleeves. The French gar
ment of this kind is loose, yet cut to
reveal the lines of the figure, and hand
somely embroidered with gold. 1t, is
often fastened at one side like the fash
ionable bodice, and the cape sleeves are
OF lace with loops of satin ribbon.
Round, short capes of black taffeta,
covered with hemmed or pink ruffles
OF the same silk are very much worn,
and do not require an expert hand to
make them. Pretty capes, too, are
made with deep, square yoke of jetted
satin and wide knitted ruffles of black
chiffon or lace on the edge. Little os-
trich tips are used Ia the ruff of the
neck, which is very full, and wider at
the back than in front. Ruffles of black
chiffon, covering a taffeta foundation.
make a pretty wrap, with knots of
black satin for finisb.-N. Y. Post.

PLEASANT WORLD OF BOOKS

There are those who find ;heir happiness in
strolling near and far.
As II perchance their birth had been be-
meath some errant star,
The trackless desert beckons them, they
scale the mountain peak,
And ever just beyond them see some glad
ness coy to seek;
For me, sit beside my fire, and with be-
nignant looks
From dear familiar shelves they smile. my
pleasant friends, the books.
A world of sweetest company. these we'll
beloved ones wait
For any mood, for any hour; they keep .
courteous state.
Serene and unperturbed amid the ruffles of
my day,
They are the bread my spirit Graves, they
bless my toiling way.
A pleasant world is theirs wherein, though
battles wax and wane,
There rolls the sound Of triumph, and there
dwells surcease of pain,
On pages sparkling as the dawn forever
breathes and CLOVIS
Through ages red with patriot blood, white
freedoms stainless rose. .n..
In this fair world of calmest skies meet
the martyrs palm,
There float to it dear melodies from coasts
of heavenly balm;
All comfort here, all strength, all faith,
all bloom Of wisdom lives,
And be the days need what it may, some
boon this wide world gives.
The freedom of the city where one walks in
crowds alone,
The silence Of the upland, where one climbs
anear the throne,
The blitheness Of the morning, and the
solemn hush of night,
Are in this pleasant world of books, for one
who reads Alright.
Here, pure and sharp, the pictured spire its
cleaving point uplifts,
There, swept by stormy winds of fate,
times sands are tossed in drifts,
And I who sit beside the fire am heir Of
time and sense,
My book to me, the angel of Gods sleep
less providence.
Who will, may choose to wander far over
sea and land,
For me the table and the lamp extend a
friendlier hand
And I am blessed beyond compare while
with benignant looks
From homes familiar shelves they smile,
my pleasant world Of books.

looking after things; this fellow was
given orders to find "Col. Bounce" and
stick to him. Inside of half day he
reported that he had picked up his man,
and we felt quite certain that within a
week we should know more about the
treasure.
We missed it by not rating the
colonel" high enough. He didn't look
overintelligent, but we had fox to
deal with. He loafed for about week,
spoke freely Of his past to the captains
servant and finally sought and OBJ
tanned employment with a native jewell
er. AS soon, as he had done this we
three packed off to the hills, leaving the
servant on watch. The nabob's palace
had been blown up and was a mass of
ruins, but we were not at all interested
in that direction. The place had been
explored again and again, and without
luck. We had to do some figuring and
then regulate our movements accord
ingly. First, we took it for granted
that the nabob had run off his treas
ure. In so doing he, would have to- take
at least half a dozen men into his con-
| fidence. AS commander of his forces,
"Col. Bounce" would certainly be
one. The wealth. had not been taken to
the city, nor had it been turned over
to anyone for safe keeping. 1t had
certainly been buried somewhere, and
the hills offered many advantages over
the open ground. 1t was more than
even chances that the treasure had been
walled up In cave or cavity of some
sort, and that within six or eight miles
of the palace. &c.,.
As a beginning to active operations
we drew a map of the locality and di-
vided it Off with lines radiating like
the spokes of wheel, the ruins being
the hub. Each man was to take a line
and follow it by compass distance Of
six miles-then cross to another and
return to the hub. AS the lines were
only ten rods apart, according to our
scale, it would be easy to inspect every
foot of the ground passed over. There
were days when the heat was too great
to move, and at the end of three weeks
we had finished only quarter of the
work. It was then decided to change
the plan and let each man search as
he would; but a fourth week passed,
and we were just where wee,were at the
start.
We would have given up now but for
flying visit from the captains man,
who reported that "Col. Bounce"
had quit the place and left the city.
He had purchased, a. horse and quanti-
ty of provisions, and there was reason
to believe that he would show up in the
hills and seek the treasure cave. We at
once moved our camp and set watch
for the man. Two days later he showed
up and went into camp about mile
away. He had no reason to suspect our
presence, as we were supposed to have
gone north for tigers; but he was play
ing for big stake and would take no
chances. Our men had an eye on him
day and night for ten days before he
moved. To, some root hunters he ex-

Her Nice Bit of Sarcasm.

Therese had two distinguishing gifts. One
was sarcasm and the other was water col.
ors. She and Quatorze had been engaged
once and they quarreled for some reason.
Neither of them seemed to know exactly
why, and / suppose that neither of them
care just now, for Quatorze was married the
other day and the girl sent present to the
wedding
The present was a water color done by
her own deft fingers. The girl could paint
well. The picture was beautiful thing. 1t
represented a great rock, which looked for
all the world like platform with steps lead
ing up to the top of it. Overhead was a
cloudless sky, full of sunshine, and with
blue in it that made you wish that the world
were all sky and that you were floating
among the fleecy clouds on pinions of air.
There were trees bending over that enchant-
ed rock, and beyond were the shimmering
waters of lake.
How beautiful" exclaimed the bride.
"How kind of Theresa. She's such dear,
good girl. We will hang it in the parlor,
won't we, dear?"
Pm afraid the light won't be quite right"
said QuatorZe aloud.
To himself he said
The water color was a picture of rock at
Lake George, where he and Therese had sat
two summers ago when he proposed to her.

AS she stood upon the top stoop and
kissed him good-by before he went out to

that she had never looked SO winsome, even
in their old counting days.

"And what lovely thing shall his darling

year," she went on. "You already have

dining-room lamp, you know, was one of
my birthday presents to you. And then"

A ROSE-MAD TOWN.
Where the Houses Are Covered with
Beautiful, blossoms

hAoSsouSs
Pasadena makes a speciality of roses,
and recently closed a two days festival
of roses. From first to last it was q
magnificent proof of the extent to
which San Gabriel's gardens have been
devoted to the culture of the queen of
flowers. Nothing but roses were per
MISSILE, and the limitation seemed to
have not the slightest effect toward
the diminution of the decorations.
When the show was over the pretty
town was literally smothered in roses,
and under foot everywhere was q car
pet of crushed and broken buds and
blooms, while the air was heavy with
their fragrance. Pasadena introduced
another striking novelty in holding it's
battle of roses at night under the glare
of the electric light. The parade of
the daytime was marvelously beauti-
full and gorgeous, but that at night left
1t far behind. The effect of the lights
on the moving masses of flowers was
enhancing in degree impossible to
describe.
For the two days of the carnival the
town was simply rose-mad. Houses
and store fronts, in and off the streets
where the professions moved, were
hidden by banks and festoons of the
richest flowers. Decorators lavished
the choicest varieties on the arches
spanning the main streets and on ropes
stretched from every vantage point.
And yet, after it was all over, the visitor
would not have known, from looking
at the gardens, that there had been
any spoliation of their treasures.
Bushes and clambering vines by near
ly every fence and gateway and on the
house fronts were laden as heavily as
in any season. Pasadena had wasted
roses by the million and did not feel
the loss.-N. Y. TiMes.

The curtain had been rung down on the
last act of that exciting melodrama, THE
Power of Beer, and the audience was leav-

thoughtful was an expression of sadness
somewhat akin to the look wherewith a man

A MEANINGLESS CUSTOM.
No Real SOciability in the Purely
Formal Call.


In the fashionable call there are
empty formalities of talk, there is
sometimes gossip of a kind that poi
sons the mind of the woman who ped
dies it and the woman who receives it.
In this horrible fashion of calling"
nobody is really glad to see anybody.
If we have friends whom we really de-
sire to meet, we go quietly where they
are, or have them come to us, when we
have an hour to spare, and both of us
are refreshed and made happy. But
when q woman makes a formal call
she puts on q stiff, uncomfortable
gown, and a stiff, uncomfortable man.
ner that goes with the gown. If she
has any sense she is horribly bored by
the performance. If the woman she
visits has any sense, she is bored even
worse.
The system is relic of those oriental
ages when women were kept in seclu-
sion, and visiting one another was The
only outlook they ever got of the world.
Now it is different. Women are not
kept like Chinese and Turkish females
any more. They can go where they
please. Why, then, should they con-
tinue the Turkish and Chinese system?
Do they know how much precious time
they are thus wickedly wasting-time
that might improve them mentally and
physically-time that would keep them
abreast of all the movements for the
progress Of mankind? There is no real
sociability in it; there is nothing in it
but vanity and waste of time.-House-

Reflections of a Bachelor.

No man ever gets quite as close up to
God as he does when his little child is
sick.
A man who will admit that he is SEN
timental has no more of it about him
than frog.
The average woman goes to her grave
remembering what girl gave her the
cheapest wedding present she got.
girls idea of a lovely married couple
is one that always gives a party on
the anniversary of the day they first
met.
When girl who has pretty feet lies
down in hammock she always goes to
lots of trouble to cover them up-and
doesn't.
You can never tell how a girl looks at
the breakfast table by the way she
looks when she sits out on the porch
in the evening.-N. Y. Press.

planned that he was camping out for his
health, and he did little but sleep and
cat. We had to hang about the camp to
be ready to take up his trail, and the call
came at an unexpected hour. One night
at midnight he rose up and started
off along the hills to the north, carry
ing in his hand. what our. men, took to
be a stick. Instead of following his
man the spy came to arouse us, and of
course we realized that it was no use
searching in the darkness.
Something came of the movement,
however. The spy fastened back to find
the man just returning. His walk had
lasted while the other had run four
miles and talked with us for five min
utes. That would mean not much more
than mile out. He had no stick in his
hand on returning; and was evidently
much elated over something. The spy
saw him take from his luggage stout
English satchel and carefully inspect
il; two or three times he rose up and
seemed on the point of leaving camp
again. He slept no more that night, but
walked about uneasily; and when the
report was made to us we knew that
he had found the cave and was about
ready to appropriate the contents. He
must be got rid of, for day at least
and if he had not overreached us in the
end 1 should blush with shame over
the job we put up.
The captains man was instructed to
watch for the patrol on the highway at
the foot of the hills, and to report that

REMOVE HATS IN CHURCH.
Organization Formed at indianapolis
AccOmplishes It's Purpose.

The other Sunday the women's circle
of the First Baptist church of Indian
apolis, Ind, attempted an innovation
by uncovering their heads during reli-
gious services, but only few respond
ed, and it was spitefully said that those
who had elaborate and costly exhibits
of the milliners' art treated the re-
quest with contempt. The next Sunday
the women's circle won a notable VIC
tory. Much PROSECUTING was evidently
done during the week, for as each lady
entered her pew she carefully removed
