I not new. A woman with her daughter
went into a jewelers. the other day; the
younger woman was wearing little pm
/ showing the Stars and Stripes, and the
mother, pointing to It with some pride, re-
marked
That pin was worn all through the civil
war"
The woman who paid 5000 for a flag
/ pin made entirely of jewels the other day
/ is not an exception. smaller pin, also
/ made of jewels, cost $500, and women go
/ into the shops and buy dozen or more
| at time OF the pins of gold and enamel,
/ as we'll as the button, TO present to their
1 friends.
Large investments are made in belt
! buckles. These are made. most of them,
from regular designs of army and navy
! buckles, though some of them are in orig
| inal patriotic designs. A beautiful belt
made to order of gold for a beautiful wo-
man the other day will cost $50 good
! deal, that seems, 10 pay for what
! some people will consider only fad, but
! the buckle is of the finest workmanship
| and will always have an artistic as well as
| an intrinsic value. Another belt buckle is
made of silver-gilt and enamel and pre-
| supposes an Anglo-American alliance, and
! an enthusiastic American woman IS to
| have upon it the American flag and the
/
The Cuban flag is but little in demand.
! There Is very little call for it, and some
! dealers are patriotic enough 10 say that
! they would not carry,it in their stock
| We must always remember" says one,
| that it is the Stars and Stripes for which
We are lighting
Some time ago, about the time of the
large Cuban fair in this city, the Cuban
flag received more attention, but since the
war began the American flag is supreme,
and. there seem TO be no side issues.
1t is not only the women who are show
| ing patriotism in pins. The men wear
! them also though the women monopolize
the fancy to great extent. They might
also be called pin patriots, though the
number of patriotic organizations that
| have sprung up where the women are
| earnestly asking for something real to do,
shows thai they do not exDend all their
| ardor in this way.
The woman who doesn't carry a gun
nowadays is an exception. The Maine
guns in lead pencils have been very popu-
| lar since they have been out. They are in
many designs in silver and in gun metal
and range in price from $3.50 to S. The
! gun metal is not the least expensive, pen
ellis in that dark material being $3.50 1t
| is much more difficult to work than the
softer silver.
Train No. 90 on the Indianapolis and Vim
| cennes, In charge of Conductor f. w
! Russo of indianapolis. was tearing along
| toward indianapolis last Tuesday evening
| fifty miles an hour. The train was loaded
| with passengers and was behind time
! East of I1dwaTdsport Engineman Dorsey
! saw on the track far ahead dog that
| was jumping about and acting in a pc
| culiar manner. The dogs actions looked
| suspicious, and. as a measure of caution
! Dorsey shut off the steam, so as to have
tg~at4 .qa,-
reached nearer point the dog stood and
| barked at it, and then, with a yelp, start
ed for the woods
| Then it was that Dorsey saw that there
was something red between the rails, and
he threw on the emergency brakes and
! opened the sand box. The train came to
| standstill within ten feet of pretty
| faxen-haired baby in a red frock The
child was about years old, and had been
! playing with the dog. The train crew ran
forward and Baggageman Franklin picked
up the child, which laughed and orowed
and pattcd his face in glee.
About one thousand eight hundred yards
| distant was a farmhouse, and toward 1t
| franklin started with the baby to meet a
man running toward him like an insane
person. 1t was the childs father, who had
missed the baby just as the train stopped
and supposed that the little one had been
killed. How it got so far away from
4tOlilc anu lltO SuCn a dangerous place
no one could understand. The passeng gers
were considerably jolted by the sudden
| stopping of the train, but no one was hurt
| and when they learned the cause of Il
they clustered about Engineer Dorsey and
congratulated him on his caution.
The bathing season, says the New York
SUM- Is upon us once again, and the an
nual pageant of abbreviated dress this
year will be distinguished by many novel
ties if all the models heralded as the lat.
est materialize on the beach. The patri-
otto love for the red, white and blue car
assert itself without limit in this branch
of dress, and when the red and white
striped skirts with white waists studded
with blue stars join the procession nc
doubt the roar of the surf will resounC
with every national song on the list This
startling combination may prove to be the
exception, but it is enough that il ha.
found one place among the new bathing
suits
Modified examples of red and blue blue
with red trimmings, and red with white
are conspicuous examples of color in bath
ing dress which are very attractive. Rec
serge or flannel suits are trimmed witt
black, white, or blue braid. 1t is the soft
rich shades which are most desirable, ant
red is recommended not alone for the fash
ion in color, but also as affording a dan
ger signal in case the bather wishes to at
tract attention, the red gown making
very noticeable point of color in the wa
ter Blue. black and white are quite a
much the fashion as ever, and if the adjec
tive "genteeP' can be applied to differ
ences in bathing suits, black and blue ar
= perhaps the most desirable
There is a certain young man in tn
Greater New York says the New Yorl
Times, whose feminine relatives feel call
s ed upon occasionally to tell him that h

his sisters, cousins and aunts included
they have a different opinion.

! experience which, if il did not injure hi
S faith in himself, so far annoyed him tina
he came very near losing his temper. TIL
friendly home critics had been reiterat

a overconfidence in himself, and the re
