A GIRL QUEEN.

Wilhelmina of Holland is young and at
be crowned sovereign of one of the richest
countries in the world. She is adored by
her people, and is the royal belle u Eu-
roDe.
There was a philosopher once who looked
at the Countess of Leinster, and thereupon
made an epigram to this effect: 1T must
be very glorious thing to be the most
beautiful woman in the world"
If Wilhelmina, Queen of the Netherlands,
is not the most beautiful woman in Eu-
rope. she comes very near being that, and
she certainly should be the very happiest
woman III the whole world if the absolute
alteration of a united people can make
woman happy. The Queen of the Neither
lands will reach her eighteenth birthday
on the Both of the present month, and on
the 9th Of September she will he crowned
and become legally the queen, as she has
been by courtesy since 1890 The city of
Amsterdam on that day will be the ;:ayest

NewsbOy Who Earned 81, 500.

From the Chicago Timesierald.
John Carmody used to be in luck if he
could find old shoes to wear and ''snipes to
shoot" One day he went to the klondike
and now he saunters around in Milwaukee
avenue smoking gold-tipped cigarettes and
wearing patent feathers.
John is a newsboy and claims to have
earned 81 500 in few months in the land
of nuggets, besides locating piece of prop
erty he is holding at $4,000.

fellow into Dawson over the Chifkoot pass
by about three days. Until he got there

and so he couldn't get more than % cents
apiece. / had about 600 papers. most of
them Seattle papers. 1 got about 81 800

waist question, women of occupation must
cling to 1t with determination Skirts TO
match shirt waists have taken away I
great part of their reproach. and one can
always devise some means of not looking
parti-colored and still wearing during
working hours blouse without combining
bones and hooks
With all of these simple styles OF shirt
waists and skirts a plain sailor hat should
always be worn. The trimmed hats which
have allied themselves TO shirt waists this
summer are sadly out of place and most
unsulted. especially to women whose first
ambition should be to be simply gowned.
Simple gowns, however. do not always
mean want of expense. and to have every
thing in keeping certainly requires much
thought and care. If gloves are worn with
these gowns they should be some sort of
wash leather, and the only allowable wells
are spool SILK or washable lace.

For dark or stormy days a skirt and

should he lined with silk and made by
good tailor, which does not necessarily
mean a high priced one. If the skirt is
lined 1T is a good plan to have the lining

Cloth The skirt may be lined with either
good silk or good quality Of percaline.
In the latter case If the lining is separate
it will have to be faced up with silk. Dust
ruffles are not advised for utility gowns.
Unless thoroughly cleaned every time they
are worn they are source of dirt TO stock
ings, boots and petticoats. And to thor
oCghly clean a dust rufie is a task re-
quiring time, strength and patience. 1t IS
far better to have the bottom of skirts
plain, then good shaking at night and
brushing and airing once week will keep
them in excellent order.
Skirts Clear the Ground.
The business woman must bear in mind
that all of her gowns to be worn out of
the house must be made an inch or so
shorter than those gowns which will never
trail about the ancient dust of Office floors
and halls
Some women this summer have had crash
and denim coats and skirts made. In stone
grays and ecrus trimmed with various eff
fects in braid these coats and skirts
very neat and serviceable. A shirt waist
is worn with them, of course.
Mohair makes excellent gown for
wCrkaday purposes. In black or dark blue,
trimmed with white and made with
waist which has enough of the features OF
a shirt waist to make ii an easy fit, 1t is
both serviceable and becoming.

The story Of the Netherlands and the

Practical and Timely Hints for Bread-Win-

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
NEW YORK, August 49, 1898.
In the matter of comfort in gowns this
summer has been gala one to the women
who by choice or necessity earn their daily
bread in the marts Of trade. This has been
brought about by the fact that dark street
gowns have been put by for the heated
term, and cool summary frocks have
taken their place. No longer is it conssd-
ell ed necessary to appear on hot paved
streets in cloth or dark skirts, though the
thermometer be in the nincties.
The woman who goes down town every
day, or, in the inapt and inelegant New
York term, gees to busiress," may now
have frocks which are both cool and suit
able. She must. however, resign herself to
laundry bills, for perfect neatness and
freshness are prime requisites in cotton
gowns. Best suited to her purpose she will
find the plain little froeks with untrimmed
skirt. and shirt waist of the same material.
1t is wise to have these made up, as bought
ready-made they can only be found in .he
smartest, most expensive mems furnishing
shops. Ginghams and pique are both ex-
cellent, and linen is another desirable ma
terial for such frOcks. They should be
worn with stocks and ties of the same ma
terial. or plain white linen collars and
string ties. plain leather belt, often
waist.
A crash skirt, well made and well shrunk-
en-, is an excellent addition to the summer
wardrobe of the woman whose affairs lie
outside of her home These crash skirts
can be worn with shirt waists of various
hues and are both light and dustproof. 1t
is not best to have them made in the
flounced effect SO popular just now.
Flounces are all very well for leisure hours.
They muss too easily for the serious work
of life.
blessings on Shirt Waists.
All women feel that a great boon was
conferred upon them by the advent of the
shirt waist, but none has so much cause
to rise and call that garment blessed as
the woman who must spend many hours
each day at a desk or about superintend-
ing. The freedom from the thrall of the
tight bodice means great lessening of
fatigue. Consequently, no matter what wo-

At What Age is Man Strongest:
From the Strand. al
The muscles, in common with all the
OF gans of the body. have their stages of
development and Decline; our physical
strength increases up to csrtain age and
tsen decreases. Tests1o of the strength of
Several thousands of people have been
made by means of dynamometer strength
measurer), and the following given as
the average figures for the, white race:
The lifting power"1of youth of seven
teen years is $50 pounds; in his twentieth
year this increases to $40 pounds, and. in
the thirtieth and thirty-frst years it
reaches its height, 1856 pounds. At the end
OF the thirty-first year the strength begins
to decline, very slowly at first.
by the fcrtieth year it has decreased
/ eight pounds, and this diminut.on continues
at slightly increasing rate until the If
tieth year Is reached, when the figure is $50
pounds.
After this period the strength fails more
and more rapidly until the weakness of old
age is reached. 1t is not pcssibls to give
statistics OF the decline Of strength after
the -fftieth year. as it varies to large
extent in different individuals.
