ingly her friends grew to dating to and
from the time when Mrs. Custer should
go to Egypt. So to them, scarcely less
than to Mrs. Custer herself, the final ac-
compIshment Of this long-dreamed-of eX-
petition Is an event.
From keeping her home In an apartment
in the heart of the city, Mrs. Custer
changed, year or two ago. to the subui b
OF Lawrence Park. This is pretty village
some fifteen miles north of the city where
ell the residents own their houses, and a
few special restrictions prevail to keep up
the tone and deslrability of the place.
Among her fellow-townsmen here are Mr..
win II. Low, the artist, and Mr. Edmund
Clarence Stedman, the poet. But her
present return home is not to be for long
she is going to England, l understand, to
spend the summer.
The impression prevails that for authors,
and especially for American authors, roy
allies on books are mainly a dream and an
aspiration. II an author gets his book pub
lishcd without cost TO himself the current
belief is that he has done all that he could
reasonably expect to do. And this is a
quite just belief, 50 far as unestablished

the publishers of books; but In the matter
of the war, the latter are rather calling
the turn on the newspaper editors.
There is scarcely a well-known CORE
spondent or artist at the front who is not,
in way, representing either magazine
or a publishing house as well as a news
paper; and already monthly magazines
have published articles descriptive of the
current movements and engagements, and
publishers have begun to announce books
on various phases of the war I know Of
one instance In which all of the arrange
ments for text and pictures for a consld-
cradle book were made by cable to Hong
Kong, at a rate of perhaps SLIGO a word.
II was for book on the campaign against
the Philippines; and the value of conclud-
ing a contract at the earliest moment pos
slble, even at unusual cost lay in the fact
that the man who is to write it is the only
correspondent, and the man who is to A.
lustrate It Is the only artist on board Ad-
mlral Deweys fleet.
Never before has there been a war in
which pictures have cut so important a
figure as they will in this. To meet the
standards and requirements of the times,
war books, no less than war dispatches,
must be illustratedi and they must be il
Illustrated from life. 1t is their sense of
this fact especially that has put publish
ers on their metal, and set them running
race with each other the equal in pace
of the race of the newspaper editors. For
accounts of the events by witnesses
there might safely be a certain trusting to
fortune; for the eye-witnesses are bound
to be many, and TO find one who could tell
fairly good story, though he had not
been specially delegated 10 that business

A Similar Attempt to "Beat" "a

Speaking of beating roundsmen. the
best story in that line l ever heard" said
the old sergeant as he looked IN a remin-

Donohue-he's out of the business now
beat his roundsman one night several
years ago. Larry had a section of the
Bowery for his post. and In those DAVIS
the cops used TO take some big chances
given in the busy distrlcts-and the Rover,
was as bad as they made EN- in those
days.
Now, Larry had bed fixed up for him

an hours walk, he used to turn In on the

always given in Asia very early in the

and reached over my shoulder and he was

ter breakfast a man, with magnificent
broad shoulders and splendid face drove

right side of the skirt and continuing,
gives the effect of a tunic.
The corsage is a blouse of the striped
foulard that opens at the left side. 1t is
cut away to show a small Y and draped

the effect of a wide round collar.
A full bow of plain white gauge is at

Hon. H. A. Widemann's enter
prise in erecting a hotel at Waia
nae will give denizens of the city
new seaside resort. 1t will be
especially welcome to the many
whose vacations are few and far
between. Waianae village is
known as one of the warmest
places in the group, but this is
largely due to the reflection Of the
white sand and the lack Of shelter
Refreshing ocean atmosphere is
entered by going along the beach
a little way, where the play of the
waves in rocky caverns and the
sight of great variety of marine
creatures afford much diversion.
A bungalow hotel among the
trees, out of the sandy glare, will
give all the resting comfort de
sired. Where the caravansary
will be best appreciated is in en-
abliDg town people to enjoy a
nights rest in the ocean air, lulled
to sleep by the rhythmic beating
Of the surf on the beach, and the
peculiarly bracing morning at
mosphere between the mountains
and the sea. The sunrise over the
mountain peaks down there is one
of the most enhancing sights in the
islands, showing the god of day
stepping from pinnacle to pinnacle,
peeriug over parapet after parapet
on high, and gradually coaxing the
valleys and gorges to assume their
robes of light. And the morning
breeze at Waianae 1t must be
felt cooling the brow against the
febrile worry Of business in town,
and filing the lungs to give re
newed vigor to the system, for
convincing one of its narvelously
tonic properties. Here's to Dill
bingham, the pathfinder to such
places, and here's to Widemann,
the rest and refreshment provider
for sublime Waianae!

He then thinks of the events

just now subject of Importance in the
household.
1t is too often supposed that the Sc
lection of wall coverings is question
which any one with certain amount
of taste is capable of settling, whereas
it is difficulty which even the initiated
approach with trepidation. We all know
that materials which may seem most
effective when seen i'll the pattern or in
some particular room may have a dis
astrous result when hung amid totally
different surroundings. The size and
character of the rooms, their aspect and
the style of furnishing are all to be tax
en- into consideration, and the whole
should form complete scheme of color
| Then, again, a dark room must reflect
as much light from its walls as possible,
cold room warmth, and so on. Moth
ing should be forgotten.
Without considering tho costlier COW
erings, such as wood paneling, tapestry,
silk and satin, leather, embroidered art
linens, etc, wall papers, the most popu.
lar of all decorative materials are ca
pable of producing wonderful effects.
They do not seem to furnish q room
quite in the way that the rich fabrics
do, but they have tbs, advantage of in
expensivemcss.
In selecting wall papers the differ
encc between the color q the ground and
the colors of the pattern should De very
slight to get the best result. A startling
design in some positive color upon Il
light toned background is in the worst
possible taste, being aggressive and
commonplace. What we require il a
soft and silky appearance.

in dainty cream and pink tones, with q
small, lively floral design, and this, used
with polished olive green woodwork,
will give Il most attractive result.
The effect sought in II library is no
