How Would You
Buy a Piano ?

It costs lots Of money to cart pianos
about and leave them for months on
trial. There are hundreds of pianos OUT
ON TRIAL in this vicinity which will
never be purchased. The only way the
dealer can come out whole on such a
plan Is to ask enormous prices for in
ferior pianos. The party who buys the
piano pays ali this needless expense.
Perry Bros. take no pianos out on trial.
They add no expense to the instrument
in any way. This is the reason they can
sell an elegant Ludwig Piano for $500 at
$25 cash and the balance in two years.
It's uphill work to convince all that our
plan is the best all around but there are
some who understand and save from $50
to $50 on an instrument

Cashmeres and lightweight cloths
will be the style during the summer.
Some of the newest of these materials
are charming in texture and color.
Gray, which has been so fashionable
all winter, will be in favor again, there
being many different shades to choose
from. White, too, is to be quite the
rage. There are already number Of
charming white gowns being made up
in both cashmere and cloth. One,
very attractive, is made with coat and
skirt trimmed with applique of cut.
work. The coat is to be worn over o
white chiffon waist. One of the newest
ideas is to have these cloth suits in
white OF very light gray, with the
chiffon waists to be worn underneath.
OF course this is only the revival of
an old fashion, but the effect is so
charming it is worth while reviving it.

"It may not be. complimentary to
the men, but there seems at least n
semblance of truth in the statement
that the greater the quantity and the
better the quality Of education among
women the less the chance of mar
riage," writes Professor d. r. Nc
Anally in the Ladies' Home Journal.
cit has been shown conclusively that
college women marry less than others.
The explanation of this apparently
anomalous condition may perhaps be
found in the fact that large percent
age of college-bred women educate
themselves for the purpose of becom-
ing teachers. Teachers have not so
good an opportunity of marriage as
other women-in fact, teachers in
female seminaries have hardly more
prospect than nuns, their limited as
sociation with the opposite sex and
the restraints under which they are
visited by gentlemen fully explaining
the situation. 1t is clear, however,
from the figures furnished, that the
rate of marriage among 'co-educated'
women is higher than among women
who attend female seminaries. 1t is
singular to notice that in the case of
educated women the same geographic
differences between the East and the
West may be observed as in the case
Of the others. In the North Atlantic
division that is, in New England
the marriage rate is lowest. 1T grad
uallY rises toward the West, attaining
its highest figure in the mountain
States, a fact which indicates that the
educated Eastern women who goes
West to teach has an excellent prospect
OF finding husband there"

: True lovers knots in black and col.
ored velvet and satin, stitfiy wired,
appear on some of the new hats.
Foulard frocks are inexpensive,
cool and serviceable. and the patterns
for this summer are fascinating.
Fine imported challies are more ar.
tistic in color and design than ever
before, and they promise to rival the
foulard gowns.
Domino rose is the 1899 name for
the bright but soft shade of red that
the tailors aud dressmakers say is to
be worn during the summer.
The expensive silk-fnished French
crepons which are tentatively dis.
played show wholly novel and stylish
arrangements of their soft wavy sur
faces.
Provident women will find yellow
and tan shoes, both high andlow, bet
ter for the summer. They don't draw
the sun and they are easy to keep in
order.
The plain, tight sleeve is coming in,
but the modistes are hesi.ating to
leave off the becoming little caps
which have been such an addition to
the sleeves for some time.
A boned underwaist is one of the
most useful garments woman ever
possessed. 1t is made without sleeves
and boned either with featherbone or
halebone, and is cut like tigLt-tit-
ting dress waist.
Ruches of mousseline de sole in a
variety of pale colors, machine stitched
on the edges with silk to match, are
one of the novelties in trimming.
They are very narrow, are box plated
and are very effective.
A trimming for q blue and white

which are sewn two rows of black vel.

Indian Justice of tho Peace.

Antoine Jackson, full-blooded In
dian, known Familiarity as "Kanaka
Jack" has been elected justice of the
peace for the reservation adjacent to
Tacoma. Although he can neither read
nor write, he is said to fill his office
with dignity. The first case he had to
deal with which came under his notice
the other day,was that of man arrest
ed upon the charge Of carrying con-
cealed weapons. The Indian Judge
demonstrated that the alleged culprit
could not force the entire revolver in
question into any of his pockets and
therefore dismissed the case. Although
the courts reasoning was not based
on Blackstone and Kent, it was strict
ly in accordance with the evidence.

A most tewildering display of silk
is exhibited. tits evident that foulard
silks are to be more fashionable than
the taffetas. The dark ground foulards
with the white figures have been worn
for several years, and yet the same
idea is repeated, and with such varia-
ton as to make them seem quite new.
The Liberty foulards are perhaps the
newest. They first came out from
Paris last year in the imported gowns,
but were not seen enough over here to
make them too popular. This Liberty
foulard is very soft material and yet
has considerable body. 1t is much
cooler fabric for midsummer wear
than taffeta, and some of the new shades
and designs are exquisite. The old
fashioned polka sdot of white on the
dark ground is going to be immensely
fashionable, but the very fine dots are
the smartest, and there is one new
and very smart design-a light ground
with q dark dot in the centre of which
is q white dot.
Among the ready-made foulard
gowns the circular skirts are the most
noticeable, and these are trimmed
with bands of lace insertion from three
to four inches wide.
The principal note in summer mil
linery is the excessive use of tulle and
chiffon, but tulle is used much more
than chiffon. Very few of the hats
are made entirely of straw. They
almost all have the brims of these two
materials. When the tulle is used it
is put on in soft folds, one fold over
the other. The chiffon is sewed into
myriads of tiny tucks or puflings. This
looks very soft against the straw crown,
and, as rule, is becoming. The
shapes are mostly of the toque and
turban variety-nothing very exag-
gerated, and the colorings quite sub
dued. Every shade conceivable of
light gray and tan unrelleved in many
instances even by white. Among all
these neutral tints stand out very
sharply the purple green, and blue
hats, very smart in design; worn with
gowns to correspond, they will look
far better than they do in the show
case.
Oddly enough, some tulle hats are
in sailor shape with stiff trimming
at the side. But these last are little
too odd, and the smartest hats are
those built upon the same lines and
looking much like the velvet and fnr
turbans Of the winter. This style of
hat is more generally becoming than
eny other and does not renuire to he
worn tipped exaggeratedly down over
the face. The brim is short in the
back, allowing a very full, view of the
back of the head, and this means an
elaborate style of hair dressing, and
the wearing of the iewelled combs so
fashionable this spring .-Harper's
Bazaar.
