 Notwithstanding the rage for all things American, there is a tremendous amount of exporting being done. Prosperity season in the United States has brought prosper ity season to Paris The rousseau of Miss Grant is the most talked-about thing in Paris just now; and the order which the prince has sent to a Bond street teweler is the gossip of the American colony.
 It is for the tiara of pearls and diamonds, such a wonderful thing as was never seen in the Cantacuzene family before. Miss Grant, 1t is rumored, is to bring an i'm rnense dover to her prince. Surely he will not have to buy silk dresses for her for many day to come, for the trousseau order that has been placed with one house alone includes twelve beautiful silk gowns and elaborately trimmed bodices. many of them with the tunic.

 West of the Ohio river three engines are used to haul trains 2, 8, 46 and 47 between Benwood and Chicago junction, a distance of 190 miles, and they will average about 7.6SO miles a month. These engines are double crewed.

The bonnet has big soft crown, set high upon the Mother Goose pattern, making a peak at the top. It also has a double frill around the face, though the head piece sets close around the fore head.
 Another extremely pretty accessory to the summer gown is the braided trimming which can be purchased by the yard. It is made of fine braid sewed or woven in pat terms that look like coarse lace. It is very durable and comes in all colors. It is used for yokes, for founces and specially for setting in the side of the skirt like panel This is the best of summer trimmings, and can be utilized in many ways, even to hat trimmings.
 The quality of sheerness still continues. There would seem to be no medium quality. Either the goods are heavy, so heavy as to need no lining, like duck or pique, or heavy linen, or they are transparent.
 The transparent goods of this year are not the X-ray patterns of last year, the openwork canvases and coarse grain fap- rics, but are a fine sheer goods that snow the lining like a haze.

seau dresses which are now being made in Paris are so thin to require the most elegant corset cover. One of these waists has a corset cover, which was made for It. The cover, or underwaist is of Mechlin lace as fine as cobweb. The waist itself IS "pineapple net, so thin that it is a mere web.
 Shirt waists are of all colors, preferably white A great wave of popularity has be- fallen the all-white waist, and you sec whole summer wardrobes with not col- cred shirt waist. The white waist comes in white wash silk, in white embroidery and lace, in the cheaper white wash goods, and in all the grades of pique from heavy to light. One of the most elegant ladies tailoring establishments advised the mak- ing of three dozen white waists of all fab rics to be worn with many skirts

 A very course fiounce of lace is set upon a belt of artutus pink velvet; and, at the neck there is a small bow stock Of the same velvet. Certainly a very neat dress Tor the country maid.
 The plainness of the shirt waist is much yeliaved by the stock with stole ends, which ss becoming more popular. The most be- coming of these are of wide white lawn, double and stitched along the entire out side edge, even the points being stitched The lawn is tied In bow with short loops, leaving ends that hang to the waist line This same becoming stole is made from lawn of all colors and. as it can be laun- dered is deservedly a popular feature of the summer wardrobe. In making this style care should be taken to narrow the neck strip to a width of not over two inches; the ends are four or five inches wide.
 The new collar has ends that pass each other and button on their respective but tous which are set at each side of the neck, instead of fastening with one button in the front. A rather elaborate. button hole sys- tenn is required by this fashion. but the re- suit is a stiff, strong standing collar that is becoming to the neck and chin.

LONG RUNS FOR ENGINES
Recent Railway Experiments Prove
 Great Success

From the Railway Age.
 The experience of almost doubling the runs of the passenger engines of the Bal timore and Ohio has proved more success full than it's warmest advocate had any idea that it would. For a great many years the average run on the Baltimore and Ohio was 125 and 150 miles, and it was supposed that on account of the heavy grades one loco- motive could not be used for a continuous run of 200 or 225 miles. However. General Manager Underwood and General Superin- tendent of Motive Power Middleton deter mined to make the experiment, and during the past three months have demonstrated that these continuous runs are not only successful, but economical, even on the Baltimore and Ohio, where 1, and 2h per cent. grades are found. Passenger engines are now run continuously from Cumberland to Parkersburg, a distance of POT miles, and from Cumberland to Wheeling, POI miles. From Cumberland to Parkersburg the en- zines go out on trains 1, and 55, returning on trains 2, and 12 From Cumberland to Benwood the run is 200 miles, and the en- zines go out on train 2, returning on train t6.

Paris. July 1s-They do things better in the old world. In summer there is softer, cooler regard for the sun, a way of dress ing that. while fashionable, is comfortable, a certain nattiness-to use an Americanism, which seems lacking elsewhere.

 This dotted dress, which Is for feeding the ducks and doing the homely garden maid tasks which the French think 1t is so smart to copy for a few months in the sum- mer, is lined with a thin wash silk of pale

In judging fiction then there is probably
no safer rule than to ask ones self how
far does the pleasure excited in perusal de-
pend upon the accidents of a trivial ma
ture connected with this, localities or time,
as different, maybe, from another locality
or time. And how far upon the abiding ele-
ments of human life, with its constant
temptations, its moving ambitions, and its
conflicting nobleness and weakness of the

or rapid narration of adventure will take
the place of them.
OF course. it is eminently proper that q
writer should know well the scene in which
his story is laid; should be to a degree ia
miiar with the history and physical as
poets of the place. this will only enhance
the reality and vividness of his story. The
danger is in considering these things of

Many critics and reviewers name ''The
Browning Letters recently published, the
book of the hour; and there Is no doubt
that the love letters which passed be-
tween these two remarkable literary peo-
pie are of inestmable value in giving one
an insight into the secret nature and life
of the two now famous authors of these
letters.
The letters wore written almost daily be-
fore the marriage of Elizabeth Barrett
and Robert Browning; for, after their
marriage they were never separated. They
embraced two large volumes of 800 pages
each, though 1t Is marvellous the interest
they possess for the casual reader.
Aside from the personality so freely
and fully revealed in these letters-for
they are from the very FIRST love letters
they possess great charm in the spontane-
lily and freedom with which individual
opinions are expressed upon a variety OF
subjects. Personal thoughts which are of
value in connection with an estimation or
the literary work of each. Elizabeth Bar

sweetness and tenderness, and character

1t is announced that Hall Game has gone
to Rome. Italy, for an extended stay, pre-
sumably to gather material as the scenes
of his next book will be located there. This
news impresses the reader with the con-
by this now renowned author which will,
no doubt, gain him further notoriety, and
bring down upon his head the condemna-
ton and reproach of the Catholic church.
If the time and labor spent by Mr.. Hall
Game in gathering the materials for his
woks were devoted to the true exposition
of his art, it is more than probable that
this talented. author would give us some
thing more worthy of his pen.
AT first glance it may seem a trite
thought to say that the author who would
write the true novel should look deep into
the heart of human nature, into the very
fountain springs of human action and then
write. of what he sees there. Yet the few
est number of authors do this.
Such a large per cent. of the fiction of
the day is taken up with the mere exter-
mails of the work, what some has very
aptly termed the accidents of storytelling
An author may know enough to photo
graph a character and his surroundings;
may tell us what he eats and wears; all
about his personal appearance and how he
behaves; he may even go farther and tell
us all about his family and what his fore
fathers died Of and yet, be far from writ
Ing a novel about him.
These things are the externals, the for
eign clements. What the man is in his in
nermost heart; his ambitions; his sorrows
and announcements; the fances and
hopes that he hugs to his breast in secret,
In short what the man really is, those are
the essentials of the true story. If the au-
thor can depict these then he is a story
teller born and not made, His work does
not then depend upon externals or local
coloriHg to interest readers or for readers
qualified to understand and appreciate its
attributes of worth and dfscrimination.
If the work appeals to the heart of hui
man nature 1t gains an audience wherever
read Neither is it dependant upon time
for a Just appreciation.

A novel may meet with success which
does not have for its central motive a
love story; but just as faithfully true Is
1t, that an author who can take strong,
true heart in his mental grasp and show
US the yearning and desires of those two
hearts, just as true as it is that his sweet,
healthy love story can make the success of
his book. Why is 1t that when Knight
hood was in Flower" is having such a
tremendous success if it is not because of
the powerful yet sweet. winning depic-
ton of the tender passion between the
noble Mary and the honest, blunt Charles
Brandon? 1t has no counter attractions,
no compleXity of plot. The reader is al
lowed to enter the sancto scantorum of

troubles of the most threatening kind, just

really is essential for the man or the wo-
man who would depict an unfathomable,

himself or herself experience such emo
