Wings and Thing.

Yellow. orange. pink. purple and mauve
wings are used in profusion. and the ef-
fects are lovely sometimes. 1t Is NOT A
matter of pair of wings, but of half A
dozen pairs on one hat or bonnet: they
fairly bristle they are SO thick The new
hats that are lashed up in the front have
clusters of wings spread out above the
forehead, and other hats are trimmed
with wings at the back, all bristling to-
ward the front.
Hats trimmed with masses of white silk
null and lot of white wings are charm
ing chapeaux for Summer wear with
muslfns. lawns. etc; they always look SO
fresh and dainty.
The breasts of gulls are also being worn
on hats. and these are soft and pretty.
The smartest thing this seasons fash

made in regular tailor fashion and are

have saucy little skirts at the back only

Frost Tens.

A novel entertainment has been lately
devised at a seaside resort in the form of
frost teas" The words frost tea" are
written on the upper left-hand corner of
each invitation card, which is appropri-
of ice and a pair of tongs. When the
guests enter the dining-room they are
greeted by a beautiful spectacle. The
shades are drawn and the room is bril-
liantly lighted, disclosing profuse decora-
tions of frosted evergreens which are
prepared by dipping the boughs in a
strong solution of alum and then drying
them. Other branches are dipped in gum
arabic water, and sprlnkled with diamond
dust. In the brilliant light they resemble
frost and snowladen branches, and are
as near to natures picture as possible.
The table linen and the dishes are snow
white, and as much real cut glass as
possible is on hand to carry out the effect.
The center-piece is a large dish filled with
sherbet, frozen to resemble blocks of ice.
The cream is made to represent snow
drops. Glass dishes are filled with broken
ice and scattered about the table with ir-
regular trails Of frosted evergreens. The
menu consists of ice cream. orange ice,
frozen fruits, white cake. and iced tea in
cut glass pitchers. and served by the hos
tess, who is dressed in white.
Souvenir cards are presented to each
guest at, theaclose of the entertainment.
These cards are decorated with snow birds
holding banners. on which is written the
date Of the affair.-New York Tribune.

The Cultured Moman

One of the tell-tale marks of speech of
the person of little social opportunity is
the unimpressionable. almost immovable
countenance. The mouth opens and shuts
and the words tumble out somehow. This
bad habit is common in many sections
of the country remJ;e from social CEN
ters. The people make 80 little effort TO
be personally agreeable they finally take
on an almost bovine immovabiIity of
Countenance.
At the other extreme are the speople
who make SO much effort to give force
TO their words they use the muscles of
their faces. often their bands in a ridi-
cu!ous way. Women of nervous tenn
perament are especially prone to wrinkle
their foreheadS and the skin about their
eyes. and to mouth their words in such
wise as to make their faces a series of
contortions painful to behold.
Women of social position who talk we'll
do none of these things says L'Art de
Ia Mode. Their faces are animated by
what they are saying: their eyes are ex-
pressive, but their muscles merely per-
form the work necessary to proper pro-
nunciation: they do not mug" like the
plebeian of the cheap boarding house,
neither have they any of the apathy of
the overworked country woman
Is 1t worth while for one to pay atten-
ton to these trifling matters?'' 1t GER
tainly is. Refinement. and good breeding
are worth while for their own sakes.
They may be tr.fing In themselves but
they contribute so greatly TO the charm
of social intercourse that no one who en-
joys or wishes to enjoy the best social life
can AFFORD to ignore them.

New York., Aug 1S.-Still another in
stance of sudden fortune going the
quick road to everywhere is reported,
this time from Nebraska. A special to
the World from Wakefield says an appli-
cation has been made in the Dixon county
district court for the appointment of
guardian for Leslie b. Hines. now on his
dcathbed. as a result of a three years
spree. in the course of which he dissi-
pated a fortune of nearly 100000.
Until the spring of 1895 Hines was
cowboy in Cunning county. In the sum-
mer of 1894, Israel Hines died at Butte,
Mont. leaving an estate worth $3.0OO.0O0.
At first it was thought that he had no
surviving relatives, but after nearly a
years search the administrator of his
estate discovered that Leslie B. Hines.
of Cunning county. Neb., was his cousin
and sole heir. Leslie had never heard of
his wealthy cousin before. but he had no
difficulty in proving his relationship and
the property passed into the young mans
hands.
Hines first act was to present his
.side partner Bob Hicks. with s2oo.eOo.

HUNTING FOR ROBBERS.
Reward Stimulates Officers TO Catch
an Aged Couples AssaiIants.

Norristown, Pa. Aug. 1S.-The county
commissioners offer 500 reward for the
arrest and conviction of the assailants
of aged Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Asmus,
at their Marlborough house, near Green
lane. on Monday night. Before acting yes
terday the commissioners neard the story
of the crime from District Attorney
Strassburger. as he learned 1t from the
victims of the terrible assault. The dis
trict attorney visited the scene of the
outrage and found the house in great
confusion, just as Mrs. Asmus had said
when she came here Tuesday.
Mrs. Asmus has somewhat recovered
from her ordeal, but her husband is in
bad way and little hopes are enter
tained for his life. He was able to con-
verse for time with the district attor-
ney, and said he would surely be able to
recognize the two men who bound and
beat him and his wife If he saw them
again. His face and body are covered
with bruises.
