tory and before the steamer Cuban had

Another gih, who had two or three
of the white flannel youths in tow,
wore very fresh pretty dress Of blue
chine silk figured with green, with lit
tie touches of pink here and there. Her
waist and throat ribbons were pink
and she carried bunch of the small,
greenish, cream-colored narcissus with
which Cairo is guy in February. Her
hat was a large green straw with a
wide fat brim in front turning no

A bride whose honeymoon is passing
in Cairo wore q round hat OF green
straw with a fat brim, whose shape
suited admirably the young round face,
with its low brow and hair drawn back
carelessly In waves. At the back Of the
hat high loops of cream-colored ribbon
stood up in q semi-circle. On one side of
the brim lay bunch of pink rosas, on
the other curled black ostrich plume.
The dress that matched this hat was a
yellOwish, creem-colored chine silk, fig
ured with green. The skirt was full,
rather longer than skirts have been
made, and plain. The bodice was plain

yards are hung with pennants, and
rugs are spread everywhere under the

probably just above or below the great
Nile bridge, and over this for couple
of hours rattle strings of open car
riages and cavalcades of polo ponies,
bringing festive youths in white fan

hats and big parasols to taste the hos

crown was high, but with rather broad,

where the lace touched the hair it was
white; above IL was black, but relieved
by white ribbons.

Cairo, Egypt.-Cairo was never gay

fuller, but thas doesn't count A
good many tourists have been kept
Gway because they wished to take
Turkey and Egypt in one trip, and Con-
stantinople has failed somehow since
last summers massacres to impress
them as wholesome. And then, too, the
cholera scare, quickly as it blew over,
made timid folks wonder if Cairo itself
was good campings. But the people who
are not here are mostly the ones who
expect to see the east but once in life
time, and who are correspondingly par
ticular about times and seasons. They
are not the rich people nor those who
add most to the gayety of nations. The
Inonied crowd to whom winter on the
Nile counts as little and is had as regu.
larly as a spring in London are here in
full force. Their manners and their
clothes are the best and the worst one

The bands were put on with a deep

of the waist fell to the deck in

straw was trimmed with red roses and
green ribbons.

from another dahabeah tied UP under
a group of palms close by, was too note
worthy to be passed over. 1t was Q

coming down on either side over the

the corselet and provided the belt. The

Cycling Cure. Nervousness.

Many people of an acute nervous tenn
permanent who have become cycling en-
thusiasts assert that in a remarkable
degree it has braced up their nervous
systems. The condition of health de-
ponds very largely on the strength of
nerve power, and this glorious sport
in moderation is a wonderful nerve
stimufant. Bracing up the nerves means
strength to the entire system, conse-
quently it is not at all surprising that
doctors so frequently recommend cy-
cling as a remedy for many little all
ments undoubtedly arising from blue
spirits and a lack of nerve tone; and
however much medical men may dis
agree in regard to the correct forms
of treatment for these complaints, they
are almost unanimous in their opinions
respecting the many benefits to be de-
rived from bicycling INDUCED in Jul
