ing probably five feet two in his patent
feathers, and his great aim in life so far
as the so-called gentier sex was concerned
was TO leave them severely alone and
quietly flock by himself, as Lord Dun
dreary used TO express it.
Miss Abigail Doolittle, on the contrary,
though she had chiefly foolzed by herself
through five and forty nmering sum-
mers and the same ncsnsasr of dreary
winters. had done so unNillingly and I'M
der protest, as it were.
For full quarter of century the tall
and stately Miss Doolittle (Who doomed
nearly a foot above Nubbins and looked
every inch grenadier, as 1 believe 1 have
before hinteO had been on the matri-
monial bargain counter-she had a snug
little fortune in her own right-waiting
patiently for the enterprising and appre-
ciative gentleman to appear on the scene
and take possession of her willing heart
and other personal property. But alas!
Thus far her waiting had been in vain.
Among her list of acquaintance other
maidens, young and old. attractive or 9TH
erwise, some with fortunes and some with
out, had been taken, and she alone had
been left to mourn over the perverseness
of mankind.
Much brooding on the subject, coupled
with her infirmity of Nearing, had at last
resulted in the harmless delusion that
every man who treated her at all politely
was desperately in love with her, and
Nubbins had not been warned of this
fact, it can readily be surmised that his
present position was one of extreme peril
that is, so far as his peace of mind was
concerned, at least.
After the Forty-second street tunnel
had been passed and the train had emery
ed once more into daylight, Nubbins trans
ferred the most of the bundles from his
lap to the rack overhead, and presently
ventured upon the remark that it was a
fine day.
BEG pardon, sir!' said the female gren-
adler, suddenly Strengthening up and
glancing inquiringly at Nubbins.
II said it's o fine day." explained Nub-
bins, raising his voice to a shout.
Gay? Oh, well 1 try to be, but 1t is
rather hard sometimes for lone female to
keep up her spir--''
csammy perspiration broke out on
Nubbins. Excuse me-" he interrupted,
hastily, II said fine day; not gay, but
day; day, day!"

Bathing Accessories.
The incest suits of the season. to prac-
teal eyes, have sleeves cut to reach the
wrist, finished by a stitched band and
then rolled over and over washwomanwise
when the bather wishes to bare her arms
The roll thus made on the shoulder by
the turned back sleeves, serves as a
quaint finish, and yet at any time when
protection against the sun is needed, the
sleeve comes at once into use.
A bathing stocking with foot REIN
forced all around by three over lays Is
one of the good things of this season,
as well as the pretty red, blue and yellow
shoes that were first evolved for the bene-
fit of French women at Trouville and else
where. They are made of thin but ap-
parently very good rubber, lined inside
with prepared skin of silk and shaped
to fit the foot like an Indian moccasin
with a coquettish bow over the instep.
These can be worn into the water without
injury 10 their rubber composition, but
they are meant for assumption on coming
from the water when the bather wishes
10 move about dry shod into her own
bath house.
Beach Wraps.
Kimono-shaped wraps of gray crash
white, red or blue flannel, else brown or
white Turkish toweing are the bath robes
chosen for this summer. Whatever color
is used a facing of bright Turkey red
stuff runs down the fronts of the gar
ments. and a sash of the same holds the
robe about the waist. The Kimono sleeves
are also faced and turned back with red,
and a startlingly red bandana is the proper
head gear for the bather. She either ties

LAUNDRY NOTES.
Rest Way to Wash Stockings, silk
and Wool Underwear, Linen, Etc.

The first essential in washing stockings
is to have an absolutely clean soap solu-
ton in tepid water. Put in your stock
ings, right side out rub WELL turn and
rub on the wrong side If the color IS
at all delicate, run the feet first, then
the legs, so as not to leave the latter
long in water. Rinse thoroughly in wa
ter of the same temperature, wiring dry,
and hang from the tops of the stockings,
so that if any water settles, leaving
slight discoloration, 1t will be in the toe
instead of the leg. If the colored stock
ings show signs of running or fadlng'
the color may be set with alum or SAT-
bearing in mind that alum is as apt 10
set the dirt as well as the color.
Silk stockings should be washed and
rinsed in lukewarm water and wrung
between towels. Silk underwear shouu
be soaked twenty minutes in warm suus
and ammonia water allowing a taDe-
spoonful of ammonia to a gallon Of water
Rub gently with the hands-squeez'nS'
pressing, but never scrubbing. Do not ~
too lavish in the use of soap, and never
rub directly on the garment-always use

pers. Soft kid of some desirable color is
chosen and cut into the proper shape. They
are then designed and beaded, either with
many-tinted ones. Later they are made
up, without heels, by a reliable boot

pers which were recently seen at a shop
in Washington, was $12.,
Spangling is a sister fad with beading;
and lovely spangled butterflies are now
much In evidence. These butterflies are
first designed on paper, and are then
transferred to boiling cloth. If they are TO

they are made quite large. seven or eight
inches across the wings; but when design
ed for the hair are seldom more than two

serves later to bend them into shape. Over
this wire, on the right side, are sewn
two rows of gold or silver spangles which
overlap each other. The body of the but
terfiy is stuffed and covered with beads 10
match the spangles, and the feelers are
made of beads Of the same color strung on
wires that they may be bent into nat
ural position. They are terminated by
three larger beads similar to those that
are used for the eyes. On a spring or sum
mer bail gown these butterflies add an ir-
resistible charm They are also most ef-
fective when made of black spangles and
small cut jet beads. In fact. beading and
spangling have for the time being. at least.

Some nice bathing outfits seen recently

needless to say perhaps, that the last

it was finished by a belt full OF button

Captain COghlan.

Captain Coghlap OF the U. 3. warship'
Raleigh. the first of Admiral Dewey's fleet
to reach home since the battle at Manila
made two speeches in New York City, In
which he made clear the fact already strongly
suspected that the Germans were disposed to
make us some trouble at Manila Such
clearing up of the situation has proven to be
most interesting reading to the American
people, but we believe that 1t had been better
left unsaid. at least he might have made the
broad statement that there had been vexa-
tious interference on the part of the Germans
and not have assumed to report actual words
spoken.
Neither Dewey nor Capt. Coghlan need
any bolsterlng up here; they arc heroes and
if what he told of affairs at Manila, coupled
with his unfortunate recitation of that su
premely absurd poetic skit concerning Elm
peror William, should render it necessary
that our government should "call HIM down
that German pride may be soothed, it will
bring about storm.
The Raleigh is down for a lot Of public
demonstrations in her honor and the Ameri
can people will cheer her heroic captain all
the more Justify, if there should be any at
tempt to discipline him on account OF the
words that he has uttered.
1t will likely all be amicably settled, but
the situation is not wholly without danger
in view of the recent trouble at Samoa and
the now certain belief that German feeling
was against us in our war with Spain.

A Great States DishOnOr.

The verdict in the case of Senator Quay
,iustifies us in our oft expressed belief that
the courts ofthe great State of Pennsylvania
had been prostituted TO the vlest of political
ends. We believed, after the indictment had
been found against the Senator, that should
the legislature of Pennsylvania succeed in
electing his successor, be it himself or another,
that the case would never come to a trial;
that the proceedings were to secure political
end, not the ends Of justice and that once
senator was elected, there wsuld be no
motive.
