cause her uncle was the first citizen Of
the land. Like many ambitious young
Americans she wishes to be known on
her own account, and the curiosity of the
world that likes to gaze at celebrity is
very hard for her to bear.
She has often asserted that her main
desire is to acquire an education which
will enable her to be independent of her
family. She evidently recognizes that
any tenure of office is uncertain in this
land of ours, and that while today, as the
presidents niece, she is envied by all her
classmates, the time may not be very far
off when only her gifts and her intrinsic
worth will count in her favor.
OF that intrinsic worth Grace Mckin-
ley's friends say very appreciative
things. She is kind and courteous to all
who come in contact with her, and her
-graciousness to the old is particularly
marked. Besides possessing her grand
mother McKinley's strong features, she
seems to be endowed with much of that
deceased lady's strong character.
She is quick and fearless in her opip-
ions and their expression. She is quiet,
dignifed and conscientious in all that she
engages to perform. New Englanders
will like to know that some OF these
traits may very possibly be traced to
Miss Kinley's mother, who was a Maine
girl-a member of the famous Washburn
family, renowned in the Pine Free State.

ton of rodman, although he was a college
graduate and was the son of a wealthy
and influential man. He wanted to be-
gin at the bottom. Today he is at the
top. His recent election as president of
the road is the climax Of a faithful ca
reer in the service of that great system
which long ago outgrew the confines Of
the keystone State.
Mr.. Cassatt was born in Pittsburg Dec.
6, 1889. His father, Robert S. Cassatt,
was for a number of years closely identi-
fed with the financial and industrial in
terests of western Pennsylvania and was
the first mayor of Allegheny City. Mr..
Cassatt's primary education was receiv-
ed in the schools of Pittsburg, but while
he was yet a lad his father removed to
Europe, and he secured in the continental
schools not only an intimate knowledge
of modern languages, but also the adyan-
tage of a liberal course of study in the
university at Darmstadt. Upon his re-
turn to America he entered the Rens-
selaer Polytechnic college at Troy, N. Y,
from which institution he was graduated
in 1859 as a civil engineer.
Immediately after his graduation Mr..
Cassatt accepted a place O a railroad
line in Georgia. Just before the out
break of the war he settled in Philadel-

This is called the sombrero, or Buffalo
Bill hat. 1t is becoming to most young
faces.
Some of them are to be piled high and
full of ostrich plumes, standing out in
as many directions as. there are plumes.
Others will have a band of regular hat
ribbon, with just a few quilts or even a
cord twisted around the crown and tied,
with ends reaching just to the edge of
the brim. These will, | think, prove the
favorites. There is a more distinct indi-
vidpality to them.
The D'Artagnan is another broad brim-
med and high crowned felt, only this
has a stiff brim. The brim is turned up
on each side a trife higher than the
crown, and this causes a corresponding
dip in front and back. Very fluffy os-
trich plumes, laid low around the crown,
with a fancy buckle in front, low down
on the brim, will be the richest trim
ming, but some of them will have only
a velvet band, buckle and possibly a
quill or SO. This style of hat, like the
English walking hat, Is becoming to al
most every one.
There are several directoire shapes,
the salient feature being the high bell
crown and the cutaway back to the
brim. One style has a very high brim in
front, and this is curled back about an
inch all across the front part. On the
sides it is made narrow and straight,
the brim ending at the side near the
back and being plated down. The back
is thus open, and in a pattern bonnet Of
this description there was a little plait-
ed capt OF green velvet.
This nattern bonnet had a bunch of
large green velvet bows and very stiff
purple velvet dahlias. The hat was Of
a soft gray. Strings go with all direc-
toire bonnets.
One very curiously shaped hat Is called
the Louis XI. We all know what a
shapeless sort Of a thing that monarch
used to wear, with the front pulled
down to a peak and the back turned up.
We are told, too, that the old rascal,
whenever he had done or was about to
do some act of unusual cruelty and wick
edness, used to take off his hat and kneel
to the little leaden images fastened in
front.
Well, this hat is shaped exactly like
those we read of, only instead of having
only one upturned brim at the back there
are two, the inner one being cleft in the
center. Some of them have a point
raised to the left side.
The hats for the rest of the summer,
| however, have quantities Of puffs, bow
and turbans of all sorts of thin material
and in all sorts Of colors. The sailor
| shape was never more popular for all
| sorts of requirements save carriage, gar
den parties and church.

The Bible is more thar a book; it is a
living being with an action, a power
which invades everything that opposes Its
extension. Behold it upon this table. this
book surprising all others; I never omit
to read it. and every day with a new
pleasure.
Everything in Christ astonishes. me.
His Spirit overawes me, and His will con-
POUNDS me. Between Him and whoever
else in the world there is 40 possible term
of comparison; He is truly a being by
Himself. His ideas and His sentiments,
the truth which He announces, His man
ner of convincing, are not explained either
BY human organization or by the nature
Truth should embrace the universe.
Such is Christianity. the only religion
which destroys sectional ~prejudices, the
only one which proclaims the unity and
human family, the only one which is pure
" spiritual: in fine. the only one which
assigns to all, without distinction, for a
true country, the bosom of the Creator,
God. Christ proved that He was the Son
Of the Eternal by His disregard Of time:
All His doctrines signify one only and
OF the divinity of Christ. What an en-
pire SO absolute. He has but one single
end-the spiritual amelioration Of indi-
vfduals. the purity of the conscience

and so great was the demand for themt
that purchasers were content to watt
more than a year after ordering and
paying for their carriages before they
were delivered.
NJ. Charron signaled his entrance into
his new field by placing an order foF
10000 900 francs worth of autocars, thus
virtually cornering the market. The rel
suit was that the manufacturers had tot
refuse all orders and refer would bas
buyers to NJ. Charron, who promptlysadj
vanced the price of his contracted for
machines 100 per cent, sold them alf
prior to their delivery to him and clear
ed a profit by his s~hrewdness Of mores
thar 100000 francs.
NJ. Charron is the premier chanffeur
of France. Nothing will better exem-
plify this thar his performance in the
recent PARISH bordeaux race, in which be-
did 351 miles in the unprecedented TINS
of II hours and 43 minutes, or an aver
age rate of better than 2 minutes and
80 seconds for each mile.
To meet the assertion that this won-
derful performance was due to the per-
lection of French roads it is well to noto
that the event was run off during ter
rife wind and rain storms. and was thus
far from showing what Charron might
have done under ordinary or fayorabie
conditions.
In the race NJ Charron won We're 60
| starters-2S of whom had motor cars and
81 motor cycles. The start was made az
the foot of the long hill leading to ST.
Cloud and Versailles
As soon as the starting signal was
given every one of the So motors dashed
up the hill, and no sooner had the top
been reached and the steep ascent be-
yond been undertaken than the first ac-
cident, a collision, sent one of the con-
t~estants to the hospital and put two OF
the vehicles out of commission. FROM
the very beginning the struggle between
Charron, De knyff and Hourgiercs was
superb. Charron finally went to the
front and then landed winner. I
NJ. Charron's wonderful performances
is not due altogether to the superiority OF
French roads, and Americans win do
well not to calculate too much upon this

it will be watched with great interest

are certainly pretty and striking, but the
all black, or black and white, look far
more refined.
There is quite a line Of novel designs

four shades with white igurings. These
are very pretty and useful. Washable

very bad.

right or left side of the brim turned up
gradually until it is as high as the crown.

turned and the business of English rail-
roads has not been appreciably affected,
but several coaches, running from Hyde
park to various points and distances
from 20 to so miles from London, have
been established.
These are public coaches, but it is
hardly necessary to state that Fleet
street clerks do not use them to go back
and forth from business. The passage
rates are sufficiently high to exclude all
but the wealthy. The men who own and
support these coaches frequently sit on
the box and handle the reins. Lord Will

siastic whips in England and frequently
handles the reins over a fine team of
tours.
Even under these conditions coaching
does not pay. 1t is a rich mans sport.

To own and run a coach during the sea-
son costs fully as much as to keep a good
sized steam yacht in commission. The
long distance journeys require from six
to eight teams, and each team must be
kept in the pink of condition. A team
that is not in condition will " go lame"
after a single days drive. Then a small
army Of grooms, footmen, stable boys
and buglers have to be employed.
Last season an American millionaire
took over to England a coach and six
finely matched horses. He started to
drive across England, but on the second
day out his team went to pieces, moi be-
ing in condition, and the trip had to be
abandoned. Most of the coaching this
season is being done by clubs Of wealthy
young men who divide the expense of
supporting a coach and take turns driv-
Ing it.
