A FASHIONABLE PET.

One of the queerest and most inter
esting of pets is the fashionable pocket
monkey. This is the smallest mem
Der of the monkey family and has al
ready become a favorite with the mat
inee girl, who delights to carry him
with her in her muff, upon her sleeve
or in her coat pocket. He has blink
ing, intelligent face; even tiny teeth,
delicate hands and feet and is equipped
with a plumy boa in the shape of a
feathery tail which he wraps about his
throat at night. This little pet is
very affectionate and will go through
all his most coaxing ways for one of
his favorite meal worms, which he eats
from time to time. He is easily cared
for, eating bread and milk and fruit,
and lives several years, an odd, chat
tering pet, full of interest and enter
tainment. The pocket monkey costs
from So to 500.

so that they are visible. Upon slen-
der, graceful figure there are really
very natty, and you wonder why the
knickerbockers or boomers have been
so long hidden beneath the ungraceful
enveloping skirt.
Another gown showing some thought
was of army blue serge, combined With
white serge. The blouse and upper
part Of the skirt we're of white, COW
cred with a vermicelli pattern of blue
braid. An odd little bolero was Of
blue, and the lower part Of the skirt
was of the same material. The large
white collar shows vine pattern of
blue braid around it. Dark blue
tights were worn with this suit and
blue stockings, with white bands
around the legs.
Mohair is much used for bathing
suits; one very dainty suit of bright
blue was trimmed with black mohair
braid. This suit was not MADE with
the regulation sailor collar, but with
a bolero buttoned high on one side,
which was cut V-Shaped at Ine pdck
and at the throat. The braid out
lined this little jacket, and five rows
were laid in waves around the scant
skirt. From under the bolero fell
plated blouse of white cashmere which
was caught into a belt of black mo-
hair.
Still another pretty suit was of cher
ry-colored mohair, trimmed with
yards and yards of black soutache
braid. The wide collar was cut with
revers and covered with the braid, as
was also the broad box plat which
was formed upon the front of the
| blouse. Rows of braid formed deep
yoke upon the skirt.
When a rubber cloth cap is worn a
bright plaid or cherry colOred silk
handkerchief is tied over it.

THE OLD MAID.

The Humboldt Progress, a Tenn
essee paper, has this paragraph:
Nearly everything and everybody
is formed into a trust or combine ex-
cept old maids, and they would be If
they could get trusted" The En-
quirer-Sun dislikes to see such dis
paraging remarks about the old maids
Few of them go to their graves unmar-
ried from choice and most Of them live
a life of self-sacrifice. Many who be-
come old maids have spent the best
years of their young womanhood in
nursing an invalid mother, sister or
father, remaining faithful to the trust
reposed in them until the last. Years
of her life is spent in the sick room,
where she is an angel of mercy and
kindness. Her pleasures are few and
seldom does she get a glimpse Of the
gay world around her until the flower
of her young womanhood has passed
and she has attained the age where
people begin to call her an old maid.
The title is an honorable one. God
bless the old maid.-Columbus (Ga.)

in at the knees, with round thighs,
the leg Of a slave.
Except by grace of his natural mast
ers, a slave he always has been and al
ways must be. He has the virtues of
the slave and his vices-industry fru-
gality, quick initiative intelligence
and amazing verbal cleverness; dis
honesty, suspiciousness, lack of initia-
tive, cowardice, ingratitude, utter in
capacity for any sort of chivalry.
But his chief and marvellous trait is
his abundance Calcutta and Ben
gall breed, and breed, and breed. Stand

east side, the factory smoke, lying in
a sullen bank under the glowing
scarlet; on the west, the cornfeld Of

of blue overhead, so clear and soft
and pure that it seems no longer the

She will be a dream! Cupid rising
from the waves upon his annual tour
of the summer resorts will see her
and prepare his dart for her heart. 1t
must be remarked right now-and you
might as well get used to it-that her
dress will be quite short, not to the
knees, with here and there a long
gown worn by Miss Priscilla OF Purl-
tanyille. But Priscilla looks funnier
in her dress, which is half long, than
Miss MacFlimsy does in her very short
skirt, and attracts more attention.
At this time Of year the metropoli-
tan tailors and modistes are busily at
work on bathing suits, for no summer
trOusseau is complete without them.
There are all kinds of bathing suits.
One kind is a novelty-the tailor made.
It is as carefully fitted as a riding
habit and scrupulOusly boned. With
this bathing suit only a corset is worn
underneath. 1t may be remarked here
that it is the custom to wear a corset
in the water Bathing cOrsetS are of
white material, so made that the steels
and bones can be slipped out and dried.
When the corset has summed on the
line, it is roughly ironed and the steels
and bones put back in. Less fastidi-
GUS persons do not remove the steels,
but content themselves with hanging
the corset over the line to dry. No
woman accustomed to the support of
a corset is comfortable without one,
even for an hour in the waves, and the
number Of bathing corsets sold at this
time of year is, therefore, surprisingly
great.
The loose bathing gown is a blouse
with skirt attached. Never commit
the indiscretion of going in the water
with an Independent skirt. 1t will
surely part when it reaches the waves,
and sad will be the joining thereof.
In vain are skirts supplied with but
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1899-05-29

tonholes, and waists supplied with but
tons; and the summer girl will find it
absolutely impossible to keep a skirt
and waist buttoned together; they
must be made in one piece.
For the genuine swimmer or anna
teur mermaid, there is the blouse waist
and skirt, not very full and not
weighed down with trimming. Bril-
liantine is ideal for this kind of wear,
and, though it is by no means a nov
city, it has never been surpassed. It
is known by many different family
names, that of mohair being its aris-
tocratic cousin, and poplin it's mother.
Bathing suits are quite distinctive
this year in the cut of the revers,
which are very fanciful, thus making a
very distinctive waist trimming. The
revers are double pointed, scalloped or
cut in Grecian border fashion, and 9TH
erwise made very fancy. And, of
course, they are of contrasting color
to emphasize their beauty. Dots are
popular.
A bathing dress which is being made
for Newport is of black and white
shepherds plaid, perhaps the showiest
plaid that could be selected. 1t is
trimmed with bands Of white flannel
in an effective way, which must be
very attractive to the fishes. The
broad white sailor collar on this gown
terminates in revers, which do not end
until they form short tabs below the
waist line. A broad, crush girdle of
the white flannel holds the blouse in
place.
The front of the skirt shows large
applique design of white flannel The
sleeves are short, scant puffs. The
skirt is cut gored and is to be worn
over knickerbockers of the plaid cloth.
Knickerbockers, by the way, are part
of every bathing suit. Many suits
| have them a little longer than the skirt

PHILIPPINE REVOLT.

It would almost have seemed on that
memorable 4th of February as if half
the army of occupation in Manila was
at the circus, unless one took into &C
count that the army was large and
the circus tent very small. At any
rate there was a goOd-siZed audience
in attendance, more than fCur-tfths
of which was made up of soldiers in
khaki and officers in white duck. There
were no children present, and but
few women-so few that it must be
confessed the circus itself became al
most of secondary interest compared
with them; and that is saying great
deal, for the circus is fairly good
one, and was appreciated far beyond
its worth. Every number on the
even the clowns painstaking efforts to
be funny being greeted with uproar1-
Os delight, and we all enjoyed our
selves as only people can who have
seen nothing worth seeing for six
months or more. 1t was towards the
middle of the performance that a
yong woman, who had already won
our dizzy admiration on the tight
rope, appeared again, disguised as
sweet sixteen in childish frock, &C
companied by another maiden of most
certain age, with whom she sang
classical duet.
Just at the close of this dance there
was shout in the amphitheatre. Judg-
ing from what had gone before, it
might have been of unrestrained emo
ton. But no, it could not have been
that, for the whole audience, as with
single impulse, made rush for the
doors. "Fire!" shoupted some as they
ran. At which I sat quite STILL which
is the only thing to do under such
circumstances. When it seemed en-

tirely safe to leave me alone, the Only
Man hurried forward, to return a mo-
ment later on run "Attack at the
outposts,' he whispered, and despite
the managers soft persuasions, we
beat a hasty retreat, and were soon
bowling homeward in our quilez.
1t was an exciting ride, for at any
moment we might be stopped by mem
bers of the deadly Catapunan band
hundreds of whom we're hiding in the
dark streets of the town, armed with
their murderous bolos, and only wait
ing for their allies to break through
the American lines and give the sig
nal for their butchery to begin. But
the signal was never given, for at
dawn the insurgents were hastily re-
treating-that is, those who were able
to retreat. The others lay in their
blood-stained trenches waiting to be
buried. However several officers
hurrying to their commands that night
we're jumped upon by armed natives,
though / believe in each case only the
native suffered.
In less time almost that it takes to
tell it we were at home, and the Only
Man had changed from his immacu-
late white duck to khaki uniform,
buckled on his big Colt revolver, and
cantered away, looking very brave and
handsome with his campaign hat at
a jaunty angle over his left ear. After
that I dared not sit still FOR fear that
uncomfortable lump in my throat
would make me do something that
any army woman would scorn to do.
