geous red. white and blue military frames.
On these the young women friends OF the
chairman of the booth had been at work
for weeks.
AS other women who have heroes of
their own At the front may Ike to make
special frames for the precious pictures of
their own soldier boys. or even to con-
tribute some to the stock at the fancy
booths at military fairs. some suggestions
may be helpful when based upon the ex-
perience of others
The most saIable OF all ia the drum
frame. A toy drum OF one Of the small
est sizes is selected and may be treat
cd IN several ways. One frame Is made
by placing the photographs between the
strings OF the drum. Ribbons in the three
national colors take the place Of the
strings. the lower part OF the cardboard
OF the photograph being bordered with
ribbons and the corners finished with neat
BOWS OF red. white and blue ribbon The
tiny string to hang the drum about the
neck OF the doll owner is OF red, white and
blue ribbon and finished at the sides OF the
drum and in the center of the loop by
iaunty bows OF ribbon Such a photo
graph rack may be hung from the chan
delier and will accommodate nearly q
dozen photographs OF favorite comman-
ders.
The cantecn frame Ia another pretty
idea. The old-fashioned canteen can be
covered with silk. leaving an oval space
for the photograph. The silk is preferably
dark blue. with white stars embroidered
or printed upon il. scarlet ribbon bow
being tied about the neck and q scarlet

%@ HERE is not town OF over
ii 500 inhabitants in the United
States that IS not interested in the
| patriotic schemes for raising
funds to minister to the wants OF
the boys in blue who are fighting so gal
lantiy in Cuba. Bazaars are the favorite
means of making money, as these COM
bine more methods for coaxing the dollars
out of the pockets Of the stay-at-homes
than any other form of entertainments
At one of the large fairs given in New
York recently. at which every idea that
could be given q martial suggestion was
utilized. an entire table was devoted to
the sale of military photograph frames.
Now, any one experienced In the man
agement Of public fairs will be aware
that nothing sells so well at one of these
entertainments as photograph frames A
church fair committee that has succeeded
in obtaining permission of the pastor or
bishop 10 permit the sale OF his photo
graphs In nice fancy frames is quite safe
in anticipating the profits in that depart
ment as something gratifying
AT the more secular entertainments
young men will calmly resist the blandish-
ments of the fairest flower sellers and the
lovely home made candy vendors and the
lemonade maidens to pause in rapttirous
rever!e before that corner OF the fancy
booth on which are displayed in sayly en-
broidered frames the photographs of some
favorite actresses The wary woman who
sells the frames and photographs marks
his absorption and admiration. and asks a

SOME NEW STYLES.

Checked skirts and plain cloth coats are
much patronized in Paris. OF course they
are only fit for ordinary every day wear,
but very delightful at that. and it Is es-
eential 70 their best conduct that they be
crowned by a hat of any shape it may
please YOU 10 prefer trimmed with white
tulle. black velvet and cherries. Orchards
OF artificial cherry trees must have been
dtspo.led for the whims Of fashion this
season. One not alone meets these rosy
blossoms on hats. but on dresses and OH
parasols.
Women are always trying experiments
