setting for the shoes. A bright green shoe on the dusty road or a board walk would be most awful.
 Nothing but bright green stockings would be suitable to wear with such footgear Let us hope the large foot ed woman succeeded in disgusting the size of her foot this way, but few sum- mer girls will take up the fashion des- perately. because they don't care if their feet are big, any anyhow, they aren't. White enamel leather is to be worn with light gowns upon such oc- casions as patent leather would be cor rect in a black shoe. Ooze leather is voted the correct outing wear, and the sole should be either felt or rubber without pretense at Frenehiness or heels. The tennis shoes of the conn ing season are rather heavily finished with leather or duck strapping, but are made easy and all have rubber soles.
 Jauntiness is usually the limit of att tainment in tennis rigs, but here is one that is in touch with the latest fash ions as well. It was sketched in blue and white striped flannel but any of the materials that are used for such dresses will be a suitable substitute Its skirt had deep yoke to which was attached a Spanish fiounce, a bias fold of the flannel concealing the seam. The bodice was on the shirt waist order, and was tucked lengthwise, with hori- zontally tucked shoulder pieces and yoke in back. With this dress white linen collar and cuffs should be worn, and the leather belt may be either white or dark. FLORETTE.

ANECDOTES OF WILLIAM ".

It is somewhat singular that, consid- ering the quaint characteristics and the high popularity of William w., the crop of anecdotes related of him should be, comparatively, speaking, so scanty. In one of the ladies' magazines the Countess of Munster who is better able we should imagine, than any living per- son to add to their number, discourses pleasantly about her childish recollec- tions of the Sailor King, and of the wa tering-place to which, like his brother, he was so much attached. An interest ing memory, not without a twofold touch of pathos, is recalled by her in connection with that venerable struc- ture which succumbed to so stormy a fate some three years ago, the Brighton Chain Pier. Lady Ministers first sight of the then popular promenade was a privilege granted to her at the tender age of three and half, and Well re- member my walks thither," she writes, 'in company with my sister and our old nurse, to meet the king, who walked there almost every morning, accompa- nied by my mother and one of my aunts. Up and down the old sailor would pace along the deck of the pier head, and my mother often subsequent ly told me how he used to say that

MILLIONS IN IT.

When Colonel Sellers was booming his magnificent eye-water scheme he
 based his enthusiasm on vast num- Der of sore-eyed Asiatics who would be
 eager to buy his eye-water. With
 much the same enthusiasm and quite
 as sound basis MT. Barrett, our min- ister to Siam, shows the cotton growers
 of the South what a market there is for them in Asia. Let us look at few facts, says he. A portion of the world whose combined area is nearly 5,000,000 square miles, or 1,5O0,O00 greater than the United States, has it's chief borders and only gateways of commerce on the trans-Pacific sea- board, directly opposite our own Pacific shores. In these lands dwell 500, ,000,0OO human beings, number greater than that of all Europe and South America, and five times the population of all North America. Of these 500,0OO, 900 inhabitants 4O0,00O,OOO are a cotton clothed, cotton-using people, and of the 5,000,000 square miles 100000 are sec- tion of country where cotton goods or products are used, and always will be used more than all others combined, but where not over 1O0 900 square miles are we'll suited to cotton cultivation, and only 1.-the of the raw cotton is
 raised that is required to satisfy the area.
 To meet this demand are the cotton crops of India, China and Egypt. That they are inadequate Is shown by the exports of both the manufactured American product and raw material
 under most unfavorable conditions,
 which would be practically prohibitory were it not for the superior quality of the American product and the pref
 erence expressed for it by the Asiatics. | MT. Barrett believes that existing un- favorable conditions can be so modified
