with pque vests now that neckties are

with the cravats of crepe de chine. This

it seems to be quietly superseding.
How to Make TuIle Bows.
Tule bows are coming to be an almost
Indispensable accessory to the fashionable
garment. Such being the case, it may be
useful to know the accepted method of
making these. To make the butterfly bow
first get a fold of tuIe about six inches
wide Plat the lower edge and then fold
1t in three, fixing it to a small foundation
The same process Is repeated for the oppo-
site side. The center is then tied or tackled
and mounted on a naturally folded band of
tulle, which fastens beneath the bow.
Linen is such d serviceable fabric for
summer wear that the generous uses to be
made of it this season are quite gratifying.
The fabric itself is much handsomer than it
has ever been before, and more attention
is given to the construction of gowns of 1t.
A handsome was of haliOtrope linen
with a plain skirt machine stitched in two
deep bands Stitching also appeared upon
the bodice cut with a turned-over collar
scaIloped over the shoulders. The scallops
were continued down the front of the waist
over white underwaiSt of tucked lawn
and lace. The waist rather full over
the belt, which of heliOtrOpe silk,
fastened with a clasp of gold and anne
thysts.
Marine Blue Linen.
The second linen gown shown to me was
Of marine blue. an admirable seashore COS
tune The jacket revers and wide turned
over collar were faced with cream tinted
lace. Stitched strappings in three rows
that formed short curves trimmed the skirt.
Two rows of strappings also trimmed each
side of the coat. the intervening space be-
ing filed with grouped rows of linen-cover-
ed small buttons.
An effort to initiate the spiral effect
sometimes seen in the putting on of
fiounces was followed in the third gown l
saw. The round piece at the neck was of
linen lace, and from it radiated bands of
linen insertion that came about the bodice,
and. spreading out on the skirt, only dis
appeared at the hem of the garment.

DISCRIMINATING Weeds.
From the woman's Home Communion


A weed is very properly termed "a plant
out OF place. but when a good, healthy
burdock, nettle. teazel, ragweed or pfgweed
springs up beside poppy or marigold the
order seems to be reversed; the weed SEEM
lngly thrives just as WELL while the de-
slrable plant becomes decidedly "out of
place"
vigorous use of the hoe at once upou
the appearance of the little weed seedlings
where a hoe can be used, is the quickest
ana most effective way to dispose of them
but II they are allowed to grow for a few
days they may be easily pulled up root and
pranch. II weed has attained any size
never cut it off with the hoe but pull if
up. or generally new shoots will quickly
come from the old crown. Whatever the
way or means, keep the weeds down en-
tTely, at all hazards, for they rob the soil
ana render otherwise slightly places decid-
edly Objectionable. A wise gardener is he
who never allows a weed of any kind to go
TO seed about his place for a considerab bic
distance about the outskirts thereby saw
ing himself many backache the following
season When large weeds about to seed
are pulled up they should be burned. as
they might terminate.

Proper Care of Finger Nails.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
Soft white hands are always one of the
principal points of a refined appearance.
and for that reason women of all ages
have most carefully attended to their
hands. The care of the hands cannot be
said to be neglected nowadays, when so
many persons employ the manicure, who
scrapes the nails and makes them of a
lovely pink, pushes back the skin from the
little white half-moons at the base, cuts the
nails In a crescent which exactly follows
the outline of the half moons, and ends by
washing the hands in a preparation that
makes them both smooth and white, tenn
porarily, If not permanently. The hands
look extremely well after the manicure's
task has been finished, although Erasmus
Wilson says that the nails should never be
scraped nor cleaned with any instrument
save the nail brush. The only other imple-
ment needed is the small ivory Dresser.

The best way to clean hair brushes IS
with spirits of ammonia, as its effect is
immediate. No rubbing is required, and
coid or tepid water can be used as success

bristles without wetting the back, and in
a moment the grease is removed Then

Political Forecasts.

The New York Herald makes the
following political forecasts:
William Mckinley is the over
whelming choice of the republican
party for the next presidential nOmin-
alton.
William j. Bryan is almost with
out a rival among silver leaders as the
democratic candidate for the presi-
dencv.
The republicans will make issue
upon the financial question, the tariff,
and the questions arising out Of the
war with Spain.
The democrats will force free coin
age of silver to the front as the para
mount issue.
The members of the silver repub-
licans will cooperate with the demo-
Gratis in securing the nomination of
William j. BRYAN.
The gold democrats, or members
of the national democracy, are mac
tive and give little indication of an
aggressive stand.
The populists will not give their
entire support To their nominees.
Barker and Donnelly.
The prohibitionists will make the
fight on the prohibition sale of liquor.
Silas c. Swallow. of Pennsylvania, is
frequently spoken of in connection
with the presidential nomination.
Chicago is the favored city for the
holding of the national conventions. g"
The Herald has ventured no con-
lecture as to the declaration of either
party on the issue of Imperialism. 1t
may become one of the leading fea-
lures of the campaign.
