SUMMER MILLINERY.

The principal novelty this year is in
the different weaves of straw that are
used in the construction of the hats.
The soft satin-finished braid Is used
in all kinds OF hats. Some OF the
weaves are open work; others are
quite close together. There are even
many in what used to be called Nea-
politan straw, very fine weave that
looks like -hOrse-hair, and often black
and white are put together in these
Neapolitan straw hats, in which there
is an exquisite shade Of very pale
gray. Using these different weaves,
and straw by the yard, the milllners
are able to secure a much better and
more distinctive style for their indi-
vidual customers. OF course, this Is
not a novelty, but has been done for
the last two or three years; but the
straw itself is different this year.
One very odd and exceedingly effec-
tive hat is made of pale lemon-color
straw with an inside satin finish. The
crown of the hat is shaped somewhat
like a toque. At the back is an enor-
nous double bow, the straw tied just
as ribbon would be tied. Back OF the
bow of straw are quantities of shaded
tea-roses, and the whole hat is yelled
in yellow tulle. 1t is indescribably soft
| in coloring and general effect.
Bright red hats are no longer fash
ionable, and there are very few purple
ones seen; but all conceivable shades
of green and blue are greatly in evil
dence. On the blue hats there are
trimmings of different shades of blue,
so that there will be the deepest navy
blue and the lightest turquoise, with
all the intervening shades-Harper's

A MunicipaIity's Restaurant.

The city of Grenoble, France. has
been running a restaurant and kitchen
for fifty years. Meals are supplied at
cost in the restaurant, or delivered at
residences, as may be desired. The
food is of the best quality, the cooks
are as skillful as any in Paris, and the
service is excellent. The dining-rooms
are of several grades, according to the
attendance, so that all classes and
tastes may be suited. One may dine
there for three cents on bread and
soup, and have his hunger thoroughly
appeased, or one can pay twelve cents
and enjoy full course dinner. Tbs
best rooms are marble-floored and pref
tily decorated. There is no financial
profit whatever to the city of Grenoble
in operating this huge restaurant
which serves from $4,000 to 10000
meals a day. The charges are based
on the cost of the materials used, help
and keeping utensils and buildings in
repair-American Kitchen Magazine.

Pirates of the PyraE,ids.

In taking the visitor to the top the
rascals wait till they get him about
half way up on some particularly
''skeery" portion of the ascent, obvious
ly what the latter-day novelists call
the psychological moment land make a
unanimous demand for baksheesh. One
does not feel like begrudging q few
piastres at such a moment. Your
glance strays uneasily down the APP
palling length and breadth Of that
huge, steep stairway of Jagged bould-
ers, and you shudderingly wonder how
many piastres it would take for re-
pairs to your anatomy If you were to
take an impromptu toboggan slide to
the bottom. To keep up their enthu-
siasm and give them an object In get
ting you back alive you promise them
something. You find the whole village
waiting for you with open palms at the
bottom. They swarm over you like
Siberian wolves on a belated traveller,
whine and bully you out Of all your
change, your last cigarette, every shing
you've got, and then nearly mob you
for not having more. You shake of
the last of your pursuers at the door
of the hotel, pull yourself together with
sigh Of relief and journey homeward,
vowing that things will be largely
otherwise and better managed before
you appear amid the pyramids again.

THE CURLY BANG.

The curly bang after season or two
of suppression, is beginning to fringe
out rather luxuriously again. IL runs
in a row of coquettish little curls from
ear to ear over the forehead, while
those women who suffer from too ex-
tensive spread of brow are adopting
very clever modification of the old
style water wave. Instead of plaster
ing wisps of soapy hair fiat to the fore
head. a broad bandeau is drawn down,
a half-inch of the eyebrows, and then
deeply fiuted by the irons. This is one
of the softest frames face can be set
In, and when the waves are properly
made and adjusted they give the lace
a peculiar tender and plaintive express
sion. Women whose locks are unde-
niably turning and who are too courag-
eous to yield to the Establishments OF
the hairdresser, adopt for the evening
a pretty fantaisie couture called the
Princess de Lamballe. For this the
hair is lightly faxed with white pow
der in front, rolled softly back, waved
a little and then gathered into a cluster
of coils, held in place by tortoise shell
or pale green shell comb. A delicate
fringe is permitted to crop out about
the brow and the head is crowned by a
half-garland of tiny pink and white
noisette roses.

TIGHT LACING.

Beyond the fact that small waist is
as out of date as the hoops, and is very
ugly tight lacing destroys the contour
of the bust and hips and is ruinous to
the complexion. If the digestive organs
cannot have room to perform their
functions, dyspepsia-one of the worst
things flesh is heir to-ensues. Then
follow the red nose, watery eyes and
blotchy complexion.
If woman is inclined to be stout,
lacing her waist makes the hips roll
away in shelf-like and uneven Jumps
for the flesh driven from one part OF
the body must seek another. The waist
of the Venus de Medici, that accepted
model of feminine loneliness, is twenty

above five feet in height. Our grand

inch waists, but the girl of the period

upon lily leaf and not bend it," never
allows her waist measurement to fall
below twenty-five inches

A GIRLS sHREWD PLAN.

when l feel that man is becoming
interested in me to the exclusion of
other girls" says captivating girl, Il
at once put him to a test which is cal
culated to bring his true nature to the
surface. l make an engagement with
him to go off somewhere at eight
o'clock in the morning. Nine men out
of ten will be late. At that hour of
the morning man is usually disagree
able and hateful. He will be unshaven.
His breath will be reminiscent of stale
tobacco smoke, and, possibly, of last
nights libations. His conversational
powers, usually so scintillating al
night. you will find to be shorn of theil
attraction. If you want to look behind
the screen of mans conventionality
put him to this test. If he comes
through 1t under favorable conditions
he will make a good husband. But I've
never seen one that could stand the
test to my satisfaction. and I've tried
it often. New York Herald.

A BLOWOUT" In Gomez's Camp.

Our first night in Gomez's camp was
one to be remembered forever. AS
happy a lot of men as Gomez's escort
may have existed somewhere else, at
some other time, but it has not been
my fortune to have elsewhere seen
them. Cuba Libre" was at last an
accomplished fact-it could not be 9TH
erwise-the United States of America
had so declared. The end of Spanish
misrule was in sight; new Cuba, for
which they had suffered numberless
privations, was to bloom upon the ruins
of the old. Small wonder that they
were happy.
After "Silencia," which Is Cuban fol
"taps," had been sounded at nine
o'clock, a member of the staff, Major
Estrampes-who,b by the way, is ar
American, being a native OF New Or
leans-scoured the camp for something
with which to entertain us. Then We
proceeded to the majors tent and in
dulged in a luxurious feast-for a Gu
ban insurgents camp; for we had cot
fee and rice, besides cow meat. W.
also had "jutia," which l had tried t.
learn to like, for it is almost the onl!
food-animal that one may be sure O
finding within the insurgent lines. TIL,
| jutia looks like the American opossum
| and fattens in some mysterious way II
| a land so desolated that a pig woult
starve to death. Apparently it is ex
tremely prolific, for hungry insurgen
| can always find one. Roasted in 1t
own skin-the customary manner o
cooking-it looks like small African
baby, smells like burned kid GLOW
that had been favored with musk
and tastes like the very young veal
fried in rancid oil, that is served il
certain cheap Italian restaurants II
New York.
AS we Toasted we talked; we Ameri
| cans had numberless questions to ask
but our entertainers were also in ques
| of information, which we supplied t
the best of our ability, so no one go
much sleep. In the morning the warm
hearted Cubans tried again to max
a spread" for us, but the Camp stoc
of luxuries had given out, SO we ha
to content ourselves with cow-mea
| without bread, nor was there any cot
fee. Well, in our own Revolutionar
War were not sweet potatoes the onl
meal that General Marion and hi
rangers could offer friendly visitor!
and didn't Marion's side win in tn
