on the quality of the fish, the odor of
the coffee and other points in the re-

in.

president of the Catholic Foresters took
a seat near the police inspector and be-

the praises of the affair Shea cut INTO

The laugh went around the table. but
Cannon received the jest in stony ST.

That reminded somebody else of the

strike a priest who had r]epToved him

FOR TRAVELLING.
Best style of Hats, Shoes and Gloves
to VICAR. u
From Harper's Bazar.


The best style of hat to wear when trav-
cling is rather a diffirult thing to state
with any positive air a authority Large
hats and fancy bonnets are, of course, not
to be thought OF, but shereis no absolute
and distinct style of hat which can be said
to belong to a travelling dress. The most
CT mfcrtable hat is a small turban of as
lightweight straw as, possible. that has
no brim outstanding in the back, or a small
tcque or bonnet which fts closely to the
head. is light and not too warm. 1t should
be becoming and smart A fancy straw
trimmed with ribbon and two or three stiff
quills stands hard wear better than any
thing else, and can be brushed and made
to look perfectly fresh. Sailor hats are
too stiff to be comfortable. If a straw
is too elaborate the dust gets into intri-
cate places where a brush cannot be put,
and in these little crevices most sur
prising amount of dirt will collect.
Heavy shoes and boots must be avoided
like the plague and only such footgear as
is comfortable must be chosen A pair of
old shoes can be smartened up by the use
OF dressing and cleaning they are per-
fectly presentable If new shoes must

although this latter plan is scarcely advisa
BILE. AS light shoes are worn-that is,
shoes that are light in weight-it is safe
Tan shoes are now worn even with black
gowns, and on all occase ens when ordinary
dress is worn. They are more comforta-
BILE than black shoes, but somehow do
not look as trim and reat. They are now
worn with fancy brown stockings quite
much as with plain ones f. Openwork Isle
stockings look very well with low black
shoes. and are not necessarily very eX-
pensive. They look dainty and neat, and
that is great point
The Biarritz glove that pulls on without
any buttons is very comfortable one for
travelling, of quite light kid, the tan shade
being the best. Gloves of full size should
be worn for travelling. 1t is a great mis-
take to squeeze the hand into glove that
is size too small, and Of course light and
white gloves are horribly bad form. The
suede gloves as well as the glace kid are
in fashion.
In the travelling bag should be put plenty

but it is a mistake to load down a travel

How to Keep Pretty.

ON The London Mail.
Sleep is a wonderful beautifier. Nothing
SO rounds out hollows as sound, healthful
sleep; nothing so soothes and mends irri-
tated and broken nerves; nothing SO re-
stores the tissues of the tired body as
plenty of natural sleep IN well-ventiIated
room, and nothing is fairer and softer and
more peachlike than the delicate flush on
the cheeks of one who has just stepped out
of the realm of dreams, where all things
are rose-colored.
A clever writer says worry is a mortal
eEemy to beauty and charm Of manner
This is undeniably true. Worry over the
Inevitable is not only a wrinkle inducer
and frown fnstigator but il is a senseless
and wicked rebellion against what cannot

the voice sharp and impatient, puts hard
lines about the mouth, and destroys repose
and gentlepess of manner Whatever is, is
best. Therefore, one would best control

Ocean Bathing.
FROM Harpsr's Raza,

If bathers would bear in mind few SIM
pie precautions, the number of casualties
at the seashore would be greatly iessened.
These warnings have been repeated every
summer for many years, but they are still
cheerfully disregarded. One Of them is a
caution against going Into the water when
overheated, or within an hour or two after
a meal. In either case the bather is par
ticulariy liable to cramp sickness, ow-
ing to the Ill effect, under those condi-
tons, of the sudden shock of cold upon
the system. Another needed warning is
against swimming out too far-for 1t ts
possible, of course, even where there are
life boats, to elude them occasionally. The
danger in this respect is Increased where
there Is strong tide running constantly
In enc direction, as is the case at beaches
where there are piers which change the
natural currents. CAreleSs or ignorant
swimmers often start outward from the
shore, making, as they suppose, direct pro-
beach. Not until they. are well out do they
notice how far the tide has swept them
off their course. Turning around and en-
deavoring to return, they lind the task al
most impossible. For every stroke they
make toward the shore they lose two in
distance as the tide sweeps them sidewise.
BY this time, too. they are becoming tired
and are no longer able to swim as strongly
as when they started. Then, unless help
reaching land alive. "A knowledge Of the
strength of the surf, the direction and
force OF the currents the under-tow, and,
lastly, of the extentpof ones own swim
ming powers, ought hto be acquired by
every one who indulges in sea bathing.

pIohk Tue new 1ork Herald.
Should 1t happen that you have wedding
presents to buy between now and the early
fall remember that the patriotic wedding
Is the thing. No bride Is thoroughly in the
fashion unless large proportion of the
gifts that como to her have reference In
their design and colors to the war and the
United States,
There has been already at least one pa-
trfotic wedding Of Importance. At this the
star gift was a pin that was said to have
cost $500. It had three stones-a ruby. tur-
quoise and diamond-as close to a design
of red, white and blue as can be produced
IN Jewels. When made this ring was
unique, but the design has since been wide
ly copied.
Another present that came to this bride
of the patriotic wedding was a dinner set
of white china, each piece of which was
adorned with hand-painted American flags
Yet another set Of gifts were lamps Of red
white and blue, with shades Of the same
colors decoratively made.
Favorite wedding presents of this sort are
nag picture frames, which may be found
in great variety. These have flags painted
on background Of white enamel, or the
frames themselves are made of flags of
silk draped on foundation of wood and
covered with glass Wedding gift novelties
such as these are unending and they are
the rage Of the hour to send to a coming

CRINOLINE AGAIN.
In spite of Feminine Protests 1t is
Coming Into Favor.

From the New York Herald.
The Herald raised a storm of indignant
protest among womankind when 1T an
was coming back. Since then this foe TO
woman's comfort has crept slowly onward
and today every indication points TO its
speedy adoption In fact, 1t is predicted
that it will oe de rfgueur in the new fall
styles.
There is only one consolation to offer to
the woman who must don this crino.ine or
be out of the fashion, and that is that all
the old revived styles have come hack to
Us so modified that we have found them
quite charming.
If we may accept the old axiom that
stfaws show which way the wind blows,
the crinoline is surely coming in fashion.
The new style of skirt demands n we'll
fitting pettcoat, and not a cheap petticoat
either
Most of the skirts are extended by the
use of featherb0ne and some of the skirts
have featherbone all the way from the hem
to the waist, following in outline the
ffounces attached to the skirt. In = word
the new style of petticoat is exactly like.
the old style hoopskrt, except that it is
covered with material instead of being n
network of wires
The fashion of wearing long skirts which
tail on the ground and act as scavengers
for our dusty streets may render the adoD
ton of the crinoline a necessity and a pro-
lection against microbes, but to those who
stop to think it will appear a strange CO.
incidence that the hoopskirt in vogue at
the time of the civil war should have been
laid aside until the present war
This is a point for scientists to discuss at
leisure. The thing for the sensible woman
to do is to wage earnest and effective war
against long skirts and crinolines.

The 0Id-Fasbioned Flower Once More
Popular FaVorite.

From the New York Herald.
Fashions favorite flower this summer is
the moss rose-that beautiful, blushing
flower without which no garden in the
olden days was ever complete Perhaps
the secret of its retirement from public
favor for so many years lies in the fact
that it could only be made to bloom once
year. When the science of gardening be-
came perfected that florists were able
to produce almost any flower called for at
any season of the year the difficulty OF
propagating this particular species of the
rose family may have had a great intiu-
ence on the decline of it's popularity.
l was told by one of the swell florists
that this difficulty has been overcome, and
that the moss rose can be made to blossom
Just as freely and continuously as the
Jack, the American beauty or any OF
the other familiar sorts
The florist said they were the very latest
fad for man to send to his best girl.
But they must be buds, as the fully opened
Hover was not as pretty, the spread petals
hiding all the moss.
The old legend is well known to many
OF the angel who had fallen asleep under
the friendly shade of q rose bush and
upon awakening refreshed from his slum-
Der, desirous of rewarding the flower for
It's kindly shade, told the plant Il could
nave any wish gratified. Upon the rose
biushing deeper pink and disavowing any
claim upon the Angels generosity, he, TO
express his pleasure and approval of the
modesty OF the flower, threw over II a
light mantle of moss.
The rose has history which runs back
more than 800 years, as II is known to
have been introduced into England from
Holland in 1896.

NEW IDEAS IN CLOSETS,
Modern Arrangements Contrive to
Make Them Clean and Orderly.

From the st. Louis G1obe-Democrat.
The closet is always the treasure-trove
of the room, yet how frequently Is it the
most confused and rage-provoking of all
places-simply because there Is no system
or economy of space exercised therein The
modern house, which is supplied with cleo
tricity for lighting, is indeed badly over
looked II there is not a drop-light In every
closet. How much provoking rummaging
it saves, and how nice and orderly ia the
arrangement when one has bright light for
assistance.
A well-planned house-because designed
by a woman, and women know the value
of closet space-has a roomy closet In every
sleeping room. One end has shelves ex-
tending from the ceiling and almost to the
floor. These are for boxes OF every class
for millinery, and all the fxings Of the
toilet which require careful putting away
The lower space below the shelves is for
shoes, and has small spring door to close
IL In, for strive as one may, somehow
closet floors will get dusty, and 1t Is nuis-
ance to have to wipe off ones boots every
time they are put on. The remaining end
has two strong narrow beams run across 80
that two rows OF garments, instead of one,
may hang. and these have drop hooks set
at regular intervals. At the back a piece
of coarse uubleached muslin Is secured to
the wall, and left long enough to reach
around and cover the clothes that are hung
there. thus completely covering them from
dust. My lady only hangs her finest clothes
here, such as are not required for daily
wear. the latter being hung in the ordinary
manner along the back of the closet. The
closet is large enough for a small camp
chair, and this little woman is OF such a
tidy disposition that she usually undresses
in her closet, finding 1t more convenient
to hang up her clothes as she disrobes, and
to lay out tomorrow's garments while she
has the light turned on,
A regular storage closet should have q
number OF good, strong hooks In the cell
ing and heavy winter garments, fur rugs
and the like, after being sewn up In strong
bags or securely tied in medicated paper
hung UP for the season away from dust,
mice and moth. the hydra of summers anx-
iety. Wise builders make the inside wood
and shelves of cedar wood, which is espe-
cialy offensive to vermin of all sorts.
