the youngster either. Hot. half smothered

is quickly transferred to the train, where
another jogging begins for his tired joints

is stared at by countless curious eyes, and.
if he is at all an attractive infant. is fairly
deluged with unwelcome attentions from
tiresome old ladies, who recommend pare

squalling.

GOSSIP OF NINE. LOUBET

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
PARIS, June 49, 1900.
Sousa and his band are the artistic at
traction of the exposition The music is
greatly appreciated by the foreigners, who
gather in well-bred throngs to enjoy and
praise the different numbers. Indeed, it
may be said that foreigners are more ap-
preciative of this matchless combination
of players than the Americans, who feel
that Sousa and his artists belong to them
and can be heard at home whenever they
wish.
Among the pretty women gathered in
the American building the other day to
listen to the music / noticed a young
Frenchwoman sowned in the most charm
ing combination of Wedgwood blue voiie
and string -colorel gu:pure lace. Frills are
not often seen this seasons garments,
but this particular gown displayed three
narrow frils peepirg from under rich
piece of shaped guipure. The skirt, tucked
vertically was cut with a very graceful
deIni rain. The bodice opened over q deep
pointed yoke laid in narrow p!aits and
reaching to below the shoulders. piece
of pointed guipure encircled the decolletage,
while appliqueS of the lace ran down the
outside of the sleeves. Pieces of lace. put
to represent a long Jacket, formed a
rich and effective establishment at the
waist.
Lace Jackets Again.
Lace jackets are feature of the sum-
mer novelties. l have seen them in sew
eral places-upon the fashionabes in the
afternoon at the BoiS du Boulogne, al the
races and upon some very chic Parisiennes
saunterng through the exposition grounds.
The lace is white or black. put on over
sharply contrasting foundation of silk,
chiffon or other light summer fabric. The
Jackets are for ornament rather than for
use as any one may guess, and they GER

exquisite frOStliko traCe~y of the lace most

The Eyes.

Late hours, late work and late reading
have a serious influence upon eyes that are
naturally inclined to be weak. If it is
necessary to work late, the eyes should, at
least, be protected as much as possible both
from overstrain and injury from overglare.
A periodical rest of a few seconds and a
sponge dipped in rosewater, rainwater or
ordinary water, so long as it is soft, and
laid over the eyelids will greatly refresh
tired eyes. 1t saves the eyes a great deal

ambassador to England. and consequently
the wedding was attended by royalty and

bridal garment was very simple, very rich

coat of almost priceless lace. The draped
bodice fitted the brides slender figure to
perfection, the crossed over cursage front
being entWined with a cluster of artificial
orange blossoms, effective that even on

they Were counterfeit. A coronet of orange
flowers knotted the long tulle veil to the

face. The going away gown was of pale
