IT MADE A DIFFERENCE.
How the Question of Spanish Pro- 1,
nunciatiOn Kept a Patriot
from EnlistinE.
Copyright, 1851

"Now, them" said the short and fat
and anxious-looking man, as he sat
down in the street car and unfolded a
map he had just bought of fakir,
II want to know just how this old thing
works. Let me first find the Philip
pine islands and Manila. Here / am,
and here is Ca-vitt."
81 beg your pardon, sir" said the
man on his left, "but that name is pro-
nounced Kah-vee-ty."
"Then why amt it spelled that way?"
demanded the short and fat man. mo
wonder Dooye has been left there a
whole month without requirements
when they mix things up that way
you mean Dewey" corrected tina
man on his right.
"I've heard it called Dooye, SIR"
"But it isn't right"
"Then why don't this map give IL
right?" Is it the plan of our map-mak-
ers to bamboozle the American patriots
Let us turn to Cuba. All! here is that
San Jew-an they are talking so much
about"
"Will you allow me to say that the
name is pronounced San Wan?" softly
observed the man on the left.
SPY whom, sir?"
"By everybody"
81 deny it, sir!" exclaimed the fat
man. IF Juan don't spell Juan
then ] can't read. If am wrong then
why don't this map set me right? IL
it the idea to mix up the American
patriot until he can't tell whether he's
| in Cuba or the United States?"
where is that Ci-en-fue-gos I've
read about?"
"Do you wish for the correct pro-
| nunciation of that name?" asked
man on the other side of the car.
| Haven't / got it?'
"Not exactly, sir"
"Then let her slide. The men who got
out this map ought to be indicted for
.swindling. Maybe I'm wrong in cali
ing it Ma-tan-zas?"
ut is hardly correct, sir"
"And I'm off on Porto Ri-co?"
"Just little off"
THAT settles it, sir-that settles it!"
said the short man as he folded up the
map and tossed it away on the street.
81 had a grandfather in the revolutions
airy war; father in the war with Mex
leo, and two brothers in the late civil
war, and l was going to offer my serv-
ices TO Uncle Sam in this emergency;
but it's off, sir-all off,"
"But what difference does the pro-
nunciation maker" protested the man
on the right.
"All the difference in the world, sir.
My wife is tongue-tied and my only
child has got hair-lip, and ii should
get killed neither one of them would
be able to ever make anyone under
stand whether poured out my blood in
a battle in Cuba or was run over by an
ice wagon in front of my own housed"

The Sailor Costume is the One Now Affected by the
Smart Girl at the Seashore.
E sS Us US US sS' W ss Us

You might suppose that half the
women of the country had enlisted for
service afoat to judge from the sailor
caps that bob up and down the streets,
are thrust over the sides of hammocks
or show above the sands of Spouting
Rock beach at all hours of the day.
The sailor girl is seen on horseback
and awheel. She is in her glory at
Red Cross garden parties and bazaars,
and when taking shore leave at
clam bake is quite as strictly nautical
as when afoat on Atlantic waves. A
Red Cross concert given one morning
on board a trim yacht now lying in the
harbor, brought out an audience in
blue and white serge and pique that
might have shipped for cruise, so
completely did it express in attire its
enthusiasm for the American navy.
Many of the younger girls dared the
simplicity of severe white pique with
white yachting cap and gold buttons.
Others added color relief in the shape
of smart open coat Of blue serge,
strapped with white to correspond
with the pique. One of the singers, a
girl with bright auburn hair, wore a
navy-blue serge skirt decorated with
padded white silk embroideries thrown
up in diagonal lines from the hem. The
coat with its square sailor collar and
| the sleeves were embroidered in white
| also.
Of a different order and more elab
| crate was the costume of well-known
| yachtswoman, which was fashioned OF
brownish serge like the sails of a
fishing boat or decker. The deep
pointed overskirt, of trefoil shape

gray pique ribbed like bengaline. The
skirt had narrow circular flounce
rounded up to the waist and was head
ed by rows of insertion separated by
narrow bands of bright blue linen.
The blouse had revers turned back
with blue and frilled with white en-
broidery on the edge; the collar was
of blue, with white insertion; the hat
red straw, trimmed with scarf
of red silk and cherries; the parasol
red also.
A third pique costume was in bold
red and white checks resembling can
vas. 1t was made with the skirt of
trailing length and sheathlike narrow
ness that seems more appropriate any
where else than on the sea sands. This
was finished with narrow flounce of
fine white linen crossing the front, but
forming the full length of the skirt be-
hind. The bodice was corselet of the
checked pique over an under-bodice of
tucked and lace-trimmed white ba-
tiste, with very long and very tight
sleeves. Straps of black velvet were
added to the corselet. A wide white
Panama hat was worn, trimmed with
gulls' wings.
One or two large garden parties have
brought out what of novelty is now
possible to the popular foulards, as
well as some dainty spotted muslins'
A rose-pink foulard was made up over
q foundation of white silk; almost a
third of the skirt consisted Of a
hounce of rose-pink chiffon, which was
carried up to the waist on one side
The bodice was draped'with fichu Of
rose and black chiffon, outlining 8

Christian Women.

Woman had much to do, perhaps as
much as man, in the spreading of the
Gospel. The story that remains to us
of the first two centuries of Christian
