BRIGHT TARTANS.
Perfect Craze Over Brilliant PIaids
In SILK and Wool

! There is perfect craze over brilliant
! paid things. Tartan silks. tartan
woods, tartan ribbons and even tartan
me usseline de sole, which is beautiful
and novel. The colors in these plaid
things are the most vivid and brilliant
that can be imagined, and the more
co!ors the better liked. Tartan velyets
are lovely, and whole blouses are made
OF them, fitted in with black satin
centuries and finished off with n ruche
Of black mousseline de sole above the
stock, which is of tartan velvet
Whole gowns are made of the tartan
woods, and are very bright and attrac-
tive when worn by young women, but
the middie-aged and elderly should be-
ware, as they make anyone but the
really youthful look ridiculous, writes
an American woman from Hamburg.
Plaid silks have long been worn. yet
they do not lose in favor, and some of
the crisp, plaid tafietas are stunning
when made up with plain-colored cein-
lures and stocks.
Plaid felt hats are the very latest ex-
IRENE of fashion. They are trimmed
with perfectly plain colors, many os-
trich plumes, wings aud paradise
plumes. They should never be worn
together with tartan gowns, for that
makes too much plaid and too much
chopped up coloring.
Plaid stockings have long been dis
played in fashionable shop windows,
and are worn by men as well as women.
The plaid bicycle hose and those for
golf are very pretty in Scotch wool.
They are worn man fashion, turned over
at the top, and with the short golf or
bicycle skirt are very fetching. They
are worn great deal here by the en-.
:husiasts of each sport.
There are also plaid kilt skirts for
golf in bright colors, and with these
either red blouses or red coats are
worn, for the red coat is the badge Of
golf the world over, and to be really
Scotch when playing one must have
something tartan and something red.
Tam o. Shanters are another charac-
teristic for the golf maidens. They are
sometimes in plain color and sometimes
in plaid, according 10 what the rest Of
the costume is composed of. Red Tams
usually go with red coats and blouses.

A Delightful PictDrc.

A homelike picture of Mrs. Washing
ton and her favorite granddaughter is
given by Mrs. James Gibson, who fire.
quently visited her when, as the presi-
dents wife, she resided in Philadelphia
then the capital of the United States.
Mrs. Gibson's language is quoted by
Miss Wharton in her Martha Washing
ton" Mrs. Washington was in the hab-
II OF retiring at an early hour to her
own room, unless detained by company,
and there, no matter what the hour,
Nellie Miss Custis) attended her. One
evening my fathers carriage being late
in coming for me, my dear young friend
invited me to accompany her to grand
mammals room. There, after some lit
tie chat, Mrs. Washington apologized
~ me for pursuing her usual prepara-
tons for the night, and Nellie entered
upon her accustomed dmty by reading
n chapter and psalm from the old
family Bible, after which all present
knelt in evening prayer. Mrs. Wash
ington's faithful servant then assisted
her to disrobe and lay her head upon
the pillow; Nellie then sang Verse of
some sweetly soothing hymn, and then
leaning down, received the parting
blessing for the night, with some en-
phatic remarks on her duties, improve
ments, etc. The effect of these Judi
cious habits and teachings appeared in
the granddaughter's character through
Communion.

IHE HOTEL WOMAN.
She Leads n Lonely, AimIess, wretch
ed Existence.


A writer who knows more about the
ways of women apparently than Bal
FAC and de Maupassant combined has
been giving them some advice on the
subject of home life. He is nothing il
not sympathetic, and grows quite pa
thetic over the misguided female who
prefers to live in n hotel where mo
duties call her" and where there is
nothing "to exercise her ingenuity or
develop her womanly talents" TO keep
ing house in "some corner in this big
world which they can call their own,
their very own" This is henrtrending,
but nothing compared to the state of
mind of the hotelwife when her hus-
band leaves her ihDthe morning. Ac-
cording to this same writer "she turns
back into the room and wonders what
she can do during the day, how she will
employ herself, where she will go.
There is nothing in her room TO appeal
to her to stay there. No home duties
confront her. There is nothing in her
life; two-thirds of herself lies dor
rlant." In fact, 50 desperate is her
loneliness that she is actually glad
when the time comes for her husband to
come home; glad TO feel that she has
some one to whom she can talk"
What remarkable young woman!
But the young husband is as badly Off
almost as his wife. To him material
considerations appeal. He grieves be-
cause "thc furniture around them as
not their own; nothing around him is
his; everything is by lease, his for
time for so much money; and after he
is through paying for it he leaves it be-
hiud"-which is AT least comforting
news for the hotel proprietor. When
fhe writer speaks of "the germ of evo-
luton which springs from the hearth
stone" we take it us direct aspersion
upon the hotel radiator, but when he
declares that people who stop and
stagnate are never happy" we would
like to ask what about the persons who
stagnate and go on. There are more
epigrams, but the following should be
framed and faunted by fiat owners and
suburban cottage builders the world
over: "The humblcst cottage is mil
lion times better than the most luXuri-
Gus hotel ever planned by the hands of
mani" Think of that, little Mrs. Lone
somehurst, and never again envy your
millionaire friend who lives at the
Naldorf-Astoria.-N. Y. Commercial

ERRORS OF INSTINCT.
Strange Mistakes of Insects Which
Deny the Power OF Selection.

The opinion is still very generally
entertained that with animals, especial
ly those of the lower order, instinct is
the determining guide that incites to
the proper performance of action or
function, and that as such it is far less
liable to err than the reasoning of in
telligence. Few scientific preiudices
have been more difficult to overcome
than that which removes from animals
their reasoning faculty, and probably
many years will yet elapse before il
will be recognized that all animals
which come under ordinary observa-
tion are endowed with the same kind of
faculty. although developed in various
degrees of a descending scale, which
distinguishes man and the so-called
higher organisms. The bee and ant
have been Frequently held up as the best
opponents of the exceptional animals
which developed reasoning powers;
and it was a rude shock, not only to the
laymen, but as well to the scientist,
when Sir John Lubbock, as the result
of an almost endless series of expert
ments, announced few years ago that
these animals were sadly wanting"
both in their instructive and intellectu-
al traits. In other words, there were
many times when both instinct and in
telligence erred for them.
Some most remarkable instances of
the erring of instinct among insects
have recently been noted by natural
lists, and they add an interesting chap
ter to the physiology of sense. One of
these was the case of a butterfly, which
persisted in visiting the artificial flow
ers on n lady's bonnet, installing them
for the natural product. Another and
perhaps more striking, instance offault
is noted by the distinguished French
entomologist, NJ. r. Blanchard, and
concerns a species of sphynx moth,
which entered hotel room in the half
obscurity of the early morning, and was
found to fit with direct intent to def
mite parts of the ceiling. These were
decorated with paintings Of leaves and
flowers, and to the latter approached
in repeated attacks, thrusting forward
its proboscis as though intent upon in
trudng it into the opened cups of the
haSuiling flowers. After repeated fail
ures and the resulting Encouragement,
the effort was given up, and the sphynx
escaped by the window. This case of
self-deception is interesting in another
way, inasmuch as it proves that it is
not always the sense of smell, but at
times that of sight, which directs in
sects to the howers.-Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal
