COL. WIHITE'S ADDRESS.

In his opening remarks he referred
to the civil strife Of quarter of a cen
fury ago. He saw before him many
veterans of that struggle. He thanked
God that an all wise Ruler had
permitted him to live to see the day
when a Grant and Lee would stand
together under the magnificent banner
of a free and united country. This
sentiment was greeted with applause
which lasted fully minute. Continu-
ing, Col White gave expression to
many patriotic sentiments, and then re-
ferred in a feeling manner to the sink
ing of the Maine in the harbor of Ha-
vana. He blamed the Spanish for the
act of treachery which caused the death
of the officers and sailors of that bat
tleship, and the audience manifested its
sympathy with this view by Kisses.
That cowardly crime sounded the death
knell of the reign of Spanish tyranny
on the western continent. Passing
rapidly over the memorable events since
the destruction Of the Maine, the speak
er was brought to the naval battle at
Manila, and the enthusiasm reached its
climax.
While the audience was cheering a
picture of Admiral Dewey was brought
out upon the stage and the enthusiasm
was renewed The battle cry of the
American sailors was Remember the
Maine" and it inspired them to heroic
courage and deeds OF unparalleled brav-
cry 1t was the most magnificent bat
tie ever fought upon the face of the
earth. Col White paid high compli-
ment to Wheeling's representative in
the battle of Manila, Ensign John S.
Doddridge, and the mention Of his name

There was magnificent meeting of
citizens al the Opera House last night,
furnishing abundant evidence of the ex
istence of an intense patriotic sentiment
which delighted in the opportunity to
manifest itself-and which was mani
tested, and in no uncertain or half
hearted manner
With but few hours notice there
was gathering of citizens Of Wheel
ing that completely filed the theatre.
There were present representatives OF
every trade and profession, every polit
lcal party, every religious creed, every
nationality, veterans of the blue and
the gray. men who fought under Grant
and men who fought under Lee, all anx-
ious TO show their loyalty to the flag
Of reunited country, and all animated
by the same spirit which has prompted
the American sailors TO adopt as their
battle cry Remember the Maine
During the early evening the Opera
House band was stationed in front OF
the theatre and played patriotic airs
until about eight O'Clock. Then the
band took position in the balcony in
side and the seats filled up rapidly. The
band continued playing patriotic airs
and each was loudly applauded. The
audience apparently realized that it was
for patriotic purpose that they assem-
bled and they were ready TO applaud
any song, any sentiment, anything sug-
gestive Of patriotism. The speeches
were short, but they had the right ring
and they stirred up a remarkable de-
gree of enthusiasm.
Last nights meeting was but a pre-
liminary one, and as Capt. Dovener apt
ly remarked: If this is a preliminary
meeting, what will the demonstration
be-" The only business transacted was
the adoption of number of resolutions
and the appointment of committees to
arrange the details of what promises
to be the biggest demonstration in the
history of the city.

chairman. This was a very graceful
tribute to an ex-Confederate leader, and

White and tinted silk. finished with

material of which the sashes are made.
Broad ribbons of bright colors are much
worn, and happy indeed is the woman
who has an old Roman or oriental scarf
to wear with her white duck or white
muslin gown. Women even with rather
stout figures are wearing the sashes.
Wristbands as a rule, emphasize the
girth OF an overstout waist. BY plac-
ing a folded band of the ribbon just be-
low the waist line and slightly bringing
the ribbon to point in front length and
slimness of awaist are suggested. Some-
times, too, women of too much avoirdu-
pois solve the problem by making a
striking bow and streamers and placing
them little below the waistband. In

who has not sufficient wit to make good
use OF present opportunities for appear
Ing radiantly lovely, she deserves to re-
.main as homcly as CindercIa's sisters
ell the rest OF het days. No season ac-

woman now circulating In society has
ties in the way OF wearing apparel. This
is because OF the great variety Of beau
tiful things, afrording to the fastidious
Or hopelcssly homely a wide latitude in
making selections OF what will be be-
coming to them. The opportunities are
just as great for the woman with small
income as with large. for never have
dimities and lawns and swisses and all
thin inexpensive fabrics been SO much
worn. If woman has reasonable
dressmaker. or. better still, can make
her own gowns. she may safely be
trusted to vie In elegance with the wo-
man who has a modiste on the Rue de
:. la Paix. N
Women have never looked handsomer
costumes OF white duck and pique that
one sees everywhere. Not all Of these
can be said to be inexpensive. as the
embroidery with which some OF the
handsomest of these dresses are trim
med makes them quite beyond the
range OF any but we'll filled purses. One
very striking gown OF white duck was
made with scarcely noticeable fiounce
connected with the skirt by broad
band OF fne white insertion, two mar
row panels Of embroidery being inserted
on each side OF the front breadth OF the
skirt The sleeves OF the short, round
jacket consisted of alternate stripes OF
white duck and embroidery. while the
revsrs were OF embroidery edged with
Q narrow band of the white duck.
Sometimes these white duck gowns
are trimmed with red or blue en-
broideries or with braids OF almost any
color OF the rainbow. The dainty jack
cts arc often lined with a very fine

boulllonnees OF chiffon can be treated,

A BEAUTIFUL MOUTH.

One of the well known and prominent-
don. who makes the molding and color
ing of the lips speciality. has lately re-
vealed some of the secrets by which she
has attained what her patrons have been
pleased to regard as successful results.
Her confidential talk is something in
this strain:
"The first thing to be considered Is the
rigidity or laxity in appearance and ac-
ton Of the lips. If they tend to stiff-
ness or sternness of expression, one
should begin to make them supple BY
gentle but constant massage treatment,
supplemented by the cultivation of an
intelligent smile. Understand me, / do
not mean a perpetual grin, for that
deepens the lines around the mouth ana
gives the face haggard, panied express
sion which is anything but becoming.
The smile to be cultivated is more a
Frightening of the whole face. with a
sensitive parting and curving of the
lips. 1t Is not necessary to stretch them.
Then, instead of firmly closing the lips.
which gives heaviness to the jaw and
hardness to the mouth. learn to bring
the lips together very lightly. allowing
that always agreeable dimpled effect In
the corners.
Besides a thorough massage once a
day you should spend ten minutes.
morning and evening, before the mirror
and with thumb and forefinger pinch
the curves of the mouth, accentuating
their delcacy and clearness.
For that rich red color In the lips one
must have a good circulation. The ma
nipulations OF good masseuse are very
beneficial and should send the crimson
stain to the surface by stimulating
quick circulation. The massage move-
ments for the lips are always upward
and circular. They are SO simple that
after few treatments by a professional
any one can learn TO do her own work.
After all. health. exercise and arhiabili-
ty are the greatest factors In rounding.
tinting and shaping a sweet mouth"
These general directions will do also
for the American woman, though one
can have little faith in the possibility OF
renewing that youthful flush and bloom
to cheeks or lips after they have once
fed. The ordinary use OF mustard will
frequently redden the lips because IL
stimulates an increased circulation OF
blood.

Millinery For
The Summer

SUMMER millinery seems now TO take =
thousand different forms. which are aiI
equally chic and attractive. The toqics
OF soft satin straw are bgnt about IN
all directions, with the most pictures1le
results Imaginable. and adorned very
frequently with no other trimming be-
yond bow of the same straw. In pale
shades OF cream and OF biscuit color
these soft toques are very much worn.
trimmed sometimes with punches or
cherries and true lovers knots in black
velvet ribbon and sometimes with
groups OF ibis wings in black or yellow
or perhaps in combination OF chcrry
color and white. set straight across the
toque In very quaint fashion. some
times the wings point downward and
rest upon the hair. while at others they
spring out aggressively on either side
and give peculiarly "spiky" appear
ance to the wearer
A dainty little toque OF silver gray
satin straw Is lined underneath the
brim with white point d'esprit net close
ly gathered and wreathed round the
crown with draperies OF shaded gray
and white chiffon. Two or three black
veivet roses cluster under the brim at
the back. and across the front or the
crown there are two groups OF sharply
polnted wings, some deep yellow and
some pure white.
Another very charming toque. which
is made entirely OF white net. sewe0
with very tiny gold beads, is turned up
In front TO show bunch OF pink roses
under the brim. IL is arranged at the
do -
or forgetmenots, massed together with
their own gray green foliage and sur
mounted in rather an unusual way with
an aigret of roses and rosebuds. some Of
the flowers dropping on to the crown In
the prettiest fashion possible.
An ideal hat for a bridesmaid at Z
summer wedding is Of fine white chin
in a wide brimmed. picturesque shape.
with long white ostrich feathers curv-
ing away on either side of a rather low
crown and knot OF black velvet in the
center drawn through big buckle OF
diamonds and steel. Under the brim at
the back there is bunch of pink roses.
the stems of which are tied with q true
lovers knot in black velvet ribbon stifr~
ly wired.
With such a hat as this none but a
clear white muslin gown should be
worn, made up possibly over pink silk
slip and ornamented with any number
OF lace frills and insertions and with
applique designs and incrustations,
through which the pink lining shows
prettily. A sash of white glace silk
hemmed with bouillonnees Of pink chif-
fon or even sash made entirely Of
pink chiffon would look very well with
this kind of gown.

The walls or the ROOM were Fortunate
ly papered with dark blue cartridge pa

would have made it harmonious by
hanging dark blue draperies. The walls
were adorned with gracefully arranged
and prettily framed pictures of Ameri-

General Washington occupying oppo-
site places OF honor.
Above the windows, on crossed gilded
bayonets. was perched stuffed eagle.

chased from a secondhand dealer and
was afflicted with a post mortem attack

ed plaster busts OF Lincoln, Washington
and Grant. A plaster bas-relief repre-
senting a battle scene hung below. On
corner bracket she placed a vase OF
flowers and a tiny incense dish, in which
were burned sweet smelling oriental
woods as her sacrifice to Mars.
The walls were hung with all manner
Of military odds and ends. an old KNAPP
sack covered with red and blue ribbons.
a gilded canteen, battered brass bugle
that had seen service in the civil war,
a couple OF guns that had been in the
war OF the Revolution and such inter-

An arch separated the bay window
nook from the rest of the room, and the
draperies that hung between were lined
with bunting flags, on which were pin
ned hatbands collected from naval ves-
sells and long broad bands Of satin rib
bon. In which the small camera pic
lures sent her from the front before the
regiment left for Cuba were cleverly
framed in patriotic looking ribbon.
Just inside the arch at one side was
her open escritoire, on which were ar
ranged her silver writing utensils. The
broad white sheet OF blottfng paper up
on the desk was tied at the corners with
red, white and blue striped ribbon. and

upon the desk were emblazoned with
