FLOOD
OF !. DEWEY
TRINKETS

By
Mark Norris

Admiral Dewey is learning what It is
to be famous. Since his return home he
has been kept rather busy with recep~
lions and ovations, but he must have had
to notice the food of articles which
bear his NAME
The Dewey souvenir craze, starting IN
New York, has now spread al over the
country and has become one OF the most
remarkable features of the nations wei
come to his home coming. The name OF
Dewey has been seized upon and appro-
priated by owners of almost everything
capable Of being named, from bull pups
and babies to theaters and town sites
Just what Dewey thinks OF all this has
not yet been learned. Perhaps he finds
the English language too feeble to ex-
press his ideas On the subject.
II be is as modest as he is reported to
be-, he will want to sail back to the
Asiatic station at double speed when be
learns that the Dewey craze has gone to
such extremes that the girls are wearing
garters with his face in smiling relief on
the buckles. He win simply go mad
when he finds that young George Dew
eys are cutting their teeth on Dewey
tcathing rings and playing with baby
rattIes made up Of Dewey heads.
There are 50 many Dewey novelties on
the market that a man might almost fur
nish a house and keep the establishment
running and not use a single article that
is not sold as a Dewey souvenir. From
the table napkins and butter dishes to the
pictures In the house and nearly an bis
wearing apparel, everything can be =
Dewey article. He can eat Dewey
breakfast food and hot rolls from the
Dewey bakery out Of dishes with Dew
ey's face all over them, for all these arti-
cles are on the market already, and new
Dewey ideas are being created every
day. All of his toilet articles, from Dew

ey sweet scented soap, with the admaraiss
face impressed on every bar, to the shaw
ing cup bearing Dewey's features, are on
the market. Cuff buttons with Deweyfs
face engraved on them are in nearly all
the stores, and n~eckscarfs with Dewey
faces stamped all over them are on sale.
Paper napkins with Dewey's picture
and numerous other patriotic decorations
printed in red are all the fad. The sec
ond class restaurants are beginning to
use them exclusively. though they cost
Is cents a hundred. which ig somewhat
more expensive than the old paper nap
kins. Ham sandwiches Or other small
eatabIes purchased at some Of the lunch
stands are now wrapped In Dewey tissue
pape wrappers
Dewey enthusiasts are seen every day
now wearing Dewey necktaes. These
ties have his picture scattered over them
like the pictures of the Columbia and
Shamrock on some Of the yachting ties.
They are almost invariably worn with a
Dewey scarfpin, and Dewey cuff buttons,
with a walking cane surmounted with
DeWey's head, complete the outfit
Dewey badges are Of course to Be
bought everywhere. The medallionss

cents each, so 1t can be seen that over
bubbling patriotism can be cheaply satis-
fed,
In the way of Dewey wearing apparel
for the women there is little beyond the
neckties which either sex can wear. One
firm is advertising Dewey stockings, but
these are merely red, white and blue
striped hose.
The toy stores have not vet received
their fall supply Of Dewey toys, The
toy merchants say that the manufactur-
ers are preparing to food the market with
toys commemorative of Dewey's great
performance at Manila Qrite a large
collection Of toys Is already to be found
in the stores.
The worst of these Is q doll, made to
represent Admiral Dewey at that time OF

navy. The doll is tabled Lieutenant

acteristics as did the women who were
the wives and daughters Of our western
pioneers.
The best shot among the Boer ONE
is Miss Lillian Rennier. She won the
championship in 1895 and has held it
ever since. She has won many triumphs
in other parts Of the world. At Port
Elizabeth in 1893 she made a record of
103 out Of a possible 105. This year she
was the only woman competitor at the
great match On the Bisley ranges in Eng
land. She attracted much attention there
and made a good score.
Besides being a sharpshooter, Miss
Rennier Is talented in other directions.
She is a tall, graceful young woman and
very good looking. Just now she is at
home loading her rifle.

In spite Of the fact that flowers are so
inseperahly associated with everything
Japanese, 1t would be a mistake to as
sumo that Japan is a land Of flowers, for
wild as well as garden flowers are far
more profuss in many sections Of this
country. japan is, however, rich in cul-
tivated flowers that are grown in great
profusion In garden and nursery in the
suburbs of all the cities.
Flower sellers, carrying their fragrant
burdens in huge baskets, are met with
everywhere, and they are patronized by
the poor as well as by the rich, for the
prices are low enough to bring them
within the reach Of all. Although there
are many varieties Of flowers. few, COM
paratively, are used In flower arrange
ment, for the Japanese limit their choice
to those with which they are most ia

any more, as all riding habits are short,
reaching scarcely below the instep. They
are nodded to the figure in such a way as
to leave free room for the knee over the
pommel. This makes it necessary to
hook up that loose part while walking,
which is not ungraceful.
Mrs. Ladenburg and some others of our
