The White Serge skirt.

There is positively nothing newer
than white serge skirt lined with
violet or watermelon pink silk.
You may top such skirt With a
variety of bodices, but it ia especi-
ally designed for wear with white
bodices, for which there is nothing
less than . craze just now.
The white serge skirt Is cut after
the shaped flounce model, and the
huted fulness at the bottom gives
the lining occasional opportunities
to show, for it is not meant that the
'beautiful lining shall be entirely
hidden. The tailor makes the white
serge skirt, for it must be faultlessly
cut, pressed and finished. The
flounce is set oG with a narrow
twisted silk cord. and another such
cord is at the top of a three-inch
bias fold that turns up from the bot
tom of the tlounce.
Two lately finished skirts with the
violet and pink Innings have two
double dust ruftl9s pinked at the
edges. The effect Of these when the
skirt is lifted, or falls over in folds,
is more tlower-like THAN anything
else.
Besides its beauty the white serge
skirt is decidedly serviceable. II
does not wrinkle nor lose its "set, '
and will stand an unlimited number
of clean(ngs. AT seaside and other
resorts Where dampues5 is the foe OF
everything stiffened, the white serge
skirt is Just the thing, A pale cream
tint is the most approved. The
pearl white is not nearly so attrac
tive. Even if the white serge skirt
caHnot be ranked among the eXclu'
sive thing, it is not obtrusive enough
to seem common in a short while

THE LAUGH IN CHURCH.

She sat on the sliding cushion,
The dear wee woman of four;
Her feet, in their tiny slippers,
Hung dangling over the floor.
She had meant to he good-she had
promised
And So, with her big brown eyes,
STE stared at the Westinghouse win
dows,
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up at the preacher,
But she thought of the honey bees
DrOning away in the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees.
She thought Of the broken basket,
Where, curled in dusky heap,
Three sleek round puppies, with fringy
ears,
Lay Struggled fast asleep.
such soft, warm bodies to cuddle,
Such queer little hearts to beat,
Such swift, round tongues to kiss,
Such sprawling, cushiony feet!
She could feel in her clasping fingers
The touch of the 7atinY skin,
And a cold, wet nose exploring
The dimples under her chin
Then a sudden ripple of laughter
Ran over the parted lips,
So quickly she could not catch it
With her rosy tiugertips.
The people whispered, "Bless the
child"
AZ each one walked from a nap,
But the dear, wee woman hid her face
For shame in her mothers lap.

Nothing in the literature of the
war is better of its kind than the
tribute which Gen. Kent pays to the
report of Gen. Joseph Wheeler. 1t
Is the tribute Of regular to a
veteran volunteer who has. perhaps,
seen more fighting than almost any
regular officer now in the service
Not only has the veteran himself
prOfised, but he imparts the benefits
of his experience to the men who
have had less. This is prettily ex
pressed by Gen. Kent: Though i'll
and suffering, Gen. Wheeler was so
perfectly at home under fire that he
inspired all of ia with assurance"
The misguided correspondent who
sncered at Gen. Wheeler as too "ven-
cradle" for war, must be prepared to
eat his words in the presence of the
testimony of those who have been
encouraged by the presence and
bearing of the veteran OF the day OF
battle. The old Confederate has al
ready earned dozen times ovel
his commission in the volunteer
army of the United States.-Nev
York Times.

There are quite a number of limo
vations purposed for fall wear in the
way of capes. The most of the1iare
narrower than they were, and many
are pointed both front and back.
All have quantities of lace. Raised
silk embroidery done by hand is
seen on IA few of the superb patter..
gowns Uf black corded silk and Irish
poplin. The preferred plan seems
10 be to have a tablier front round
ed deeply, and this with an elabo-
rate design wrought on the trout,
with trailing vines extending up the
sides, where it joins with the sprung
tunic skirt.
There are cloth Gapes for the next
season cut with deep point at the
back, many of these having hand
some embroidered ar braided bands,
or in three parts, the lower one
Teaching at the Oack down to the
knees aud curving up high over the
arms and in front.
Particularly fetching are the
opera and theater crp4s, for the
length and curvlu5 .hdJ- allows the
displaying Of lace or guaze rutfles
to advantage.
The wide, soft ties of gauze or lace
will be the favOrite fastening of the
dressy cape. At present, big round
brooches chose, too, of the oldfash-
toned sort) are used to fasten the
summer girls light shawl.
All cape collars are built up high
at the back.
The golf craze IS possibly respOn-
sible in measure for the revival Of
the cape, for the bright plaid cape
that was introduced for the golf
player was immensely liked, aud
many women found use for the golf
cape IA a comfortable and suitable
travelling wrap, and for general out
ing wear.
There is now evidence that the
cape to match the gown will be the
proper caper, but just how this fash
ion will take hold on woman's
fancy remains to be seen. Wraps en-
suite have never been popular eX-
cept in the jacket style. 1t is impOs-
siole to make up pretty and cor
rect wrap to match each gown, cheap
enough to put such within reach
| of any but the woman with almost
unlimited means. so, the popular
cape will be the one that may be
worn tremendously with a variety
of gowns.
The long cape gives an appear
ance of the height and slenderness
The over-tall woman, therefore, will
wear a ruffied cape, while the short
woman will wear plain and more
| pointed than rounded one.

BIG LOTTERY IN SPAIN.
Government VIII Thy to Raise $780,
100000 by the Scheme.


100000 by the Scheme.
Under the auspices of the Spanish
government great lottery scheme
will be launched in Madrid soon, the
receipts of which, minus the prizes,
will be turned over to the govern
ment for it's most pressing needs. 1t
is thought that by September the
salaries Of civil and military serv-
ants recently suspended can then be
made good. Circulars are being
sent out all over Europe, and it is
expected that 100000 pesetas, or
about 500, 100000 will be Melted by
the government. There are five
capital prizes of 800 600 pesetas each.
The lottery is not new In Spain, but
Spanish lottery has never been pop
lar in other parts of Europe, investors
preferring to take their chances
with the Dutch or Prussian lotteries.
The Spanish lottery in 1897 brought
the treasury 100000 pesetas In
the same year the Portuguese lottery
gained 10000 milrels (nearly So
UO0,0O0). The lottery is authorized
III other countries of Europe. In
Italy last year the government
gained 62,0O0,O00 lire ($l2, 100000
showing that the poor lazz irone
was not without his savings. In
Holland the official lotteries gained
$500 900; in Denmark the winnings
amounted to $500 900 more. But the
Prussian lottery, which is annually
operated under the direct authority
OF the state, is the most popular.
There are number Of prizes Of 800,
600 marks every year, and in 1897
the receipS of the treasurer amounted
to over 100000, 900 marks.-New York

Mothers Help.

Among the "helpn in England
there is an intermediate position
known as "mother's help" In a
good manv families this position is
occupied by an unmarried sister or Il
maiden aunt. A mothers help" is
a recognized member of many house
holds, and the columns of the local
newspapers contain numerous ad
vertisements of situations wanted or
vacant. The duties of a mothers
help are manifold. She assists in
the housekeeping, the dairy perhaps,
the household sewing or mending,
dressing the children and teaching
them the rudiments of their educa-
ton. Sometimes she is a sort OF
nursery governess with additional
household duties, sometimes she
acts chiefly as housekeeper, with Oc
casional care of the children, but
she is always what her name indi

vary from a good round sum dowr
to nothing, except her food and lodg

We are those that march through
a wilderness, and each one carries

all their life because of the burden
they are bearing, and some try to
get their burden off slyly onto an

bravely their own burden and
march uncomplainingly on; but
some-the noblest Of them all-are
they who stand erect, bearing their
own burden, then creep up behind
others, hardened like themselves,
and put their shoulders beneath the
burden of their fellows and lift it,
tightening the load. Blessed are

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition OF the mucous surfaces. We will
give one Hundred Dollars for any case of
Deafness Caused by catarrhl that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

Walking for Women,

DR.. Sarah HacketU Stevenson, of
Chicago, writes ~piritedlv on the sub
ject, urging women to walk regular
ly, scientiticall Y and BEAUTIFULLY.
The business women of Chicago, ="
she says, get very little time for
healthful exercise of any kind, and
still less for wholesome recreation.
Now, both of these features are nee
essary for perfect health and vitali.
ty, as we all know, and, in fact, eX-
ercise without the recreative quality
is comparatively little benefit to the
man or woman who takes il. To
take long walk is he pful, of course,
to a certain extent, but TO walk for
the pleasure or enjoy ment of it is far
better, Walking clubs would sup
ply the needed elements Of fun aud
cOmpanionship. and would also
enable the women employed all day
to walk together at night just AS they
have wheeled together during the
summer.
The average working woman of
Chicago IS too busy to walk to Der
office in the morning, too tired to
walk To her home at night. Now,
scientific authorities and statistics
declare that ten miles is the mini
mum distance which every man aud
woman should walk in order to keep
well. The average Chicago work
ing woman hardly walks that far in
a year. The idea of walking for re-
creati0n has never entered her brain,
for Ching; she has not time in
WlifclIto walk, for another"

Vellings for the Autumn.

New veilings for the autumn are
already exhibited in some of the
shops. Smaller dots, set closer to-
gether than they were last winter,
are shown. Gray, white and blue
silk mesh with black or white small
dots is effective. White with black
dots and black with white dots are
seen again. A decidedly new veil
ing is IA fine black q, elk, net, with
small motifs of crealrGos white lace
scattered over ft.a1,The effect is
different from that of%the ordinary
lace veil and the edge, is finished by
a very narrow border of cream or
white embroidery. Another odd
veil has small black chenille dots set
close together in groups of five, the
groups set about their own width
apart. The edge is finished by a
triple row of chenille dots, set close
together in straight lines. Red and
blue yelling, with fine criss cross
bars and squares of tulle between
the spaces, resembling some of the
grenadine dress materials, are more
curious than pretty, and will
probably attain no great popularity

A lovely house jacket seen recent
ly was of soft white batiste, the
back having short embroidered
yoke, the jacket pleated on to this
with three inturning pleats at each
side, and held into the figure by an
embroidered strap, the fullness go
ing down to form short farlng
skirt. The fronts were long and
stoleshaped, having band of EN-
broidery set in all round two inches
from the edge. The fronts did not
quite come together and the open
ing revealed full, flowing piece of
white net, finished at the bottom
with the fine embroidery. The
sleeves were slightly fulled to the
arm-hole and fell straight to the ell
bow, where they ended in frill OF
of embroidery. Three bands of EN-.
broidery went up and down the
sleeve. At the neck there were an
embroidered ruffie and long ties of
crisp blue satin ribbon.

which was the feature that killed
the plaid skirt of the springtime.
The white serge skirt is declared by
the fashionables quite dressy enough
for any summer day occasion, and it
is not a rare thing to find in the
evening a white serge skirt topped
with a delightful little bodice made
of putfings of mOusseline de sole or
chiffon in white, pink or blue.

Warm Weather Dishes.

In SALADS there is new variety,
made from FRUIT, In this each layer
is composed, Ola different fruit, and
in such a salad properly made there
are at least half dozen layers.
A further summer food novelty are
the candied fruit water ices. These
candfed fruits can be bought at any
leading confectlOner's. Candied
rose'leaves, apricOts, ginger and viO-
lets are the best to use for this pur-
pose. OF course these varieties
must not be mixed. A water ice
must consist of one flavor only. The
candied fruit is put in water and
frozen. The entire ice is put in this
way, perfumed and scented, and the
fruit, with noneS,Qfits flavor gone,
appears in the midst of it.
Very popular and fashionable in
fruits. This delcacy (made in a
freezer at home, just as is ice cream,
only without the use of any milk is
to take the place of ice cream in a
very great measure the next few
months. These frozen fruits are
simply the juice of the fruit, water
and sugar. The chief kinds this
year are strawberry, raspberry
peach, apricot and grape.
Still another novelty Of the season
is a salad Of oranges and grated coco
amt.
For late evenings while the heat
lasts one or two hostesses Of New
York have devised some beverages,
which might well be copied. One is
eau de banana, or banana water. Its
cOmpOnents are ice cold water, ba-
nanas and sugar, with a touch of
lemon. 1t is best made in punch
bowl, six to ten bananas being used
Some Of these are mashed and the
pul p and juice put into the water fol-
f1avOring. Others are simply sliced
The mixture is we'll cooled with
Jumps of ice, and sweetened with
