A CLOTHES CASE.

vious as the articles have separate COM
partments and are not in such danger
of being wrinkled from having piles of
heavy clothing on top,
These trays are made of plain wood
to match the outside of the case, or COW
cred with linen or padded with scented
silk pads. There are long trays for the
skirts, short ones for the waists and
little ones for the collars, ribbons, ETC.,
with some cubby holes for fans, gloves
and handkerchiefs.
The panels of the upper half of the
front of the one shown were latticed
with ribbons to hold wells and other
light articles. When closed, it latched
and locked with one key in the middle,
and the outside of the front was arrang-
ed in beautifully carved panels intend
ed to match an especially designed
chamber set.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY.

Guam is ours, and its governor gen.
Rral is Captain Richard Phillips Leary.
With the governor general on board and
three years outfit in her hold the
cruiser Yosemite has sailed for our pos
session in the Ladrones. There is but
one town in the Ladrones, San Ignacio
de Agana, which is on Guam. Here
Governor General Leary will establish
his seat Of government. He has had the
Yosemite fitted up as place of abode,
and if things ashore are not to his lik-
ing he will make his home on the
cruiser.
Captain Leary is well known as
brave and efficient officer. He halls from
Maryland and entered the Naval acad-

"A Dainty Decoration.

Every woman who entertains should
have among her table belongings sets of
ribbon colors for table decoration. They
can be used again and again, need not be
of supertine quality, and therefore can
not be called expensive, especially when
it is considered how enormously they
count in effectiveness. The best width
for these ribbons is four inches, the
quantity required depending upon the
length, size or shape of table A simple
and pretty arrangement is to draw the
ribbon in flat band diagonally across
the table to within few inches of the
line of covers, terminating it in hand
some tied bows. These bows are prettier
if the loops are stood up on their sides
to avoid tiatness. Extra loops may be
added, and little of some perfect fruit
of softly contrasting shades held within
the folds. The ribbon band will of
course run over the lace centerpiece and
under the floral centerpiece. Ella Nor

THE SPORTING WORLD.

With the Gentry gear as basis, a
firm of manufacturers has devised a
wheel with chainless or chain gear, as
the rider may desire. In the chainless
style the front and rear gears are attach
ed to the crank fange and rear hub in
the same manner that sprockets are at
tached to chain wheel. These gears
mesh into the intermediate gear, which
is comprised of two forged rings, one
within the other, accurately machined.
The inner ring is fastened with screws
to Tugs brazed ON to the rear fork. The
outer surface of this ring is grooved,

saluting the Birch.

In Westminster, which stands as the
most aristocratic boys school in Eng
land, time honored custom is the salu-
tation of the birch. As the students
leave the prayer hall each salutes a
huge birch, which lies on a table in the
apartment, by touching the birch and
then his forehead. This is recognition
of authority, typifed by the birch, and
the custom is as sacred to Westmin-
ster boy as are the wearing of tall hat
and the carrying of a stick.

forming ball track for the balls, upon
which the gear ring revolves, the latter
being similarity grooved. These gears
are all machined as light as is consist
ent, so that there is not one ounce of
metal more than is necessary to insure
safety. In adapting the Gentry gear to
the bicycles referred to provision has
been made for the perfect interchange
ability of the chainless model and the
regular light roadster chain wheel. If
for any reason the rider wishes to change
his mount to chain Wheel he has only
to remove the gear and case, substitute
ing light roadster front and rear
snrockets.

dent for two successive terms, and Lady
Aberdeen, who now holds that office,
will retire. In addition to her popular
ity, Mrs. Sewall has the benefit of the
custom of rotation in office which is
generally followed by the council.
Each national council is represented
in the international by its president
and one delegate. Mrs. st. John Calf
ney of New York is president of the
American council, and Susan B. An
thony is the delegate elected to attend
this year international meeting. These
two ladies with May Wright Sewall
make strong trio of American women
who will take part in June in what

greatest convention of women the
world has ever known"

Horse FRAMING In England.

Horses in England are never trained
on race tracks as they are in this coun-
try, but ON breezy downs, wide moors
and secluded commons, far from the
larger towns. Though more expensive,
as it necessitates the keeping in order
of innumerable exercise gallops, this
system is undoubtedly better and health
Ter for horses than our own.
