The results Of the War Revenue bill
are most gratifying, Ooly about 800,
600. 600 was expected from this source
when the bill was Grst formulated; not
more than $1,000, 000, 900 was ever hoped
Tor; bat II the returns for the month OF
July are reliable, there is no estimating
what the total annual revenue will be
Many Of the items Of the bill have not
yet begun to produce anything like the
smount that will come later. and the
sblest s,atisticians and political eoono
mists have little to guide them 10 their
estimates. The country has changed so
mucb since the time when We depended
largely on internal revenue to meet our e1
pensef, that oil estimates are little bet

The handkerchief Re1A.

There is a new belt, muff1er belt, or
what it's name implies. silk handker-
chief made into a girdle. There are
two designs. One is made by folding
the big brilliant silken square until It
forms narrow band, measuring from
corner to corner about forty-six inches
when stretched out. This is brought
around the waist, hiding the skirt
band and place where the bodice and
skirt meet, and taken around to the
side and knotted in two flowing ends,
fastened by brilliant buckle or clasp
of silver or gold. The clasps are riv-
eted or sewn on, so that they meas
ure the same as the waist band, and
when in position the whole forms a
graceful and really pleasing effect,
strange as it may seem when told in
print.
The other handkerchief designs are
called girdles, and are made in very
different manner. They are shirred to
high point in the front like a corset
front and shirred at both sides with
bones sewn in to make them hold their
place. % At the back they are gathered
into a slim shir, and the corner points
are allowed to fall in two gradual tails
that show the border and make a neat
finish to the otherwise crude hemming
that ordinary bolt silk would show.
They are more graceful than ribbon,
however soft and wide it may be.

West Point was, for the last ten
years of his life, the summer home of
General Scott, whom Mrs. Sherwood,
in her "reminiscences" pleasantly
gossips:
The hero of the Mexican war always,
on the Fourth of July, wore his old
military coat, the one in which he rode
into the Mexican capital ION top of a
picnic" as he used to say. VERY
