cannot fail to remark that for deck and

Besides skillfully evading the heavy. hot

summer season has brought conspicuously
forth a new millinery ornament, and far
and wide hats are seen trimmed with Gala
lilies. The lily itself, having a cup OF white
velvet and long pistil of yellow velvet,
is made one-half the natural size of the
stiff, handsome blossom, and the long,
dropping green leaves that accompany it
are enough In their luxuriant grace to deco

Newport by the beauty-loving Gaul. who
made 1t his business TO find the foot that
previously fitted so exquisitely formed
shoe. He found the Cinderella TO be Mrs.
Jonathan Thorne. whose feet are not only
wondrously small. but possess such fac
ulty for fascinating the eyes that when
she danced in blue and gold brocaded shoes
at the Bradley Martin ball many stopped
to watch their dainty PAGES and exclaim
with delight.
Next winter so say the society sharps,
there will be larger number of titled for
eigners in New York than ever before, and
the cause of their visiting America is not
far to seek. Next winter at least score
of wonderfully handsome girls with unusu
ally big fortunes will be out in society, AID
the sturdy American bachelor will have to
do some very persuasive lovemaking in or
der to cut successfully under the preten
sions of the dukes and princeling5. Already
on the list OF pretty. wealthy, unmarried
women in society is Miss Lila Sloan, Mrs.
William Sloan's fairy-like daughter, whose
marriage portion will be something over
half a million. Miss Eva Barley is an
other whose good locks are equal to her
tremendous fortune. and Miss Nellie
Thomas-tall. dark, graceful, and with the
most admirable disposition, is General
Thomas heiress. and consequently repre-
sents tidy little income.
A dover of quite million is represented
by E. C. Benedict's beautiful blonde daugh-
ter Louise. Miss Nellie Hewitt and Miss
Angela Gerry are both young and very;
wealthy, while Miss Marian Fish, is TO come
out this summer in halo of youth, beauty
and plump money bags. Next autumn an
other daughter of the great Vanderbilt fam
lily. Miss Mckay Twombly, is to be intro
duced to the fashionable public; Miss Van
Allen, as Mrs William Astor's granddaugh-
ter, is a matrimonial prize of no small mag
nitude. and two beautiful high-born Cros-
bys. Misses Eleanor and Gladys, make their
debut next season. Now there is not one
of these young women whose names do not
stand for good birth. good brains, good tenn
per. and a superior order of beauty. as well
as heavily-laden pockets. and serious will
be the loss TO our society If any one OF them
is persuaded into a foreign alliance.

ARTISTIC DRINKS.
Liquid Refreshments That
Tempting to the Eye.

Liquid Refreshments That Are
Tempting to the Eye.
One Of the latest decrees, of fashion Is
that the summer drinks that are made at
home must be pleasing to the eye as well
as to the palate. Indeed, some of them are
SO pretty and artistically combined that it
seems rather q pity to drink them at all.
special beauty Is made Of ciaret, lemon
juice. mineral water, and whisky. with a
dash of blackberry brandy on the top.
These ingredients sound much more deadly
than they really are, as the liquors are
used in very small quantities, while the
lemon juice and mineral water form the
body of the drink.
The secret of success and beauty, how
ever, lie in the way in which they are
put together when the result should be that
the three colors are distinct and separate
In the giass-a thin layer of light red at
the bottom, lemon yellow throughout the
middle. and an almost black layer on the
top. In making the drink the following
points are to be remembered: The lemons,
and one is necessary fer each glass, should
be well frozen. This Is done by simply
cutting of the top and bottom skins and
standing them for some hours on the ice.
The juice of each lemon is then poured
upon four Jumps of sugar, and as much
whisky as suits the taste is added. The
whole is then diluted with ice-cold mineral
water.
These ingredients should then be set aside
until each glass has had poured Into it a
small quantity Of elaret. and upon doing
this carefully depends much Of the drinks
future success. 1t must be trickled down
the side of the glass so as TO moisten as
little of the inner surface as possible. The
lemon juice and whisky are next poured
upon the claret; also using great care To
hold a spoon in the centre of the glass and
let the fluid run over it Is a good means to
pursue. When the glass is filed to within
about an inch of the top. small amount of
blackberry brandy should be poured in:
again using the spoon to keep it from the
sides OF the glass. Ii will then spread over
the contents of the class and remain like
a crust upon the top. This drink is said
to be more beneficial when taken early in
the morning.
Many that have been in the habit of
drinking small glassful of clear whisky.
and then taking water after IL from another
glass. have now found that the two can be
placed in the same glass without interfer-
ing in the least with each other. Water to
the desired height should first fill the glass
and nice slice of lemon be laid upon its
surface. Any amount of whisky can then
be poured upon the lemon. and it will re-
main at the top of the glass. without show
ing the slightest inclination to mix with the
water at the bottom. The two fluids can
therefore be drunk separately. and there is
something very attractive and pretty about
this manner OF doing il.
Iced tea is another artistic-looking drink.
and throughout the warm weather II is al
most exclusively served at luncheon. Slices
OF lemon are at the top and bottom OF the
glass, and they are held apart by sprig OF
mint placed in the centre. II is now the
custom to serve this beverage in glasses six
inches high.

me. the most interesting thing in the
world. / have always understood that
much abused lady of the legend who threw
her glove into the arena. She wanted emo
tions, and she had them. no doubt-fear,
hope, pride, triumph, and discontinue.
But what emotions filter through the brain
of a fisherman as he sits hour after hour
in the drizzling rain or the scorching sun? :?
Surely it must have been a fisherman who
inspired Pope in his immortal stanza:
Man is, but always to be blessed.

There is always feeling of disappoint-

of hunting may be enjoyable. The chase
and its associations are everything: the
mere bagging of the game is nothing In
fishing there is no chase. il is all waiting
for and bagging your game. Pursuit Is al
ways exciting. But after the hunter has
shot the deer the detective has captured
his man, or the dreamer has proved his
theory, what interest is there left?

A copy of curious newspaper has been

is dated January 4. 1S0s, and is called
"L'Athenee des Danes" The articles are

OF the paper seems to have been an attempt
