TO FRAME BRIDES PICTURE.
How a New Chicago MatrOn Remem-
harad Har ErInnds.

How a New Chicago Matron Rsmem-
bered Her Friends.
A recent Chicago bride whd was go
ing out of town to live distributed
photographs of herself and farewell
gifts to her relatives and friends and
had them framed in a unique and at
tractive manner. They were to be
mounted under glass in the manner
familiar to all and known as passe-
partout, but instead Of the usual mat
of linen or cardboard she used a ma
terial which was especially appropri
ate, and one which made frame as we'll
asas picture worthy of being pre-
served among the family helrlooms.
The picture which she gave her
mother had a mat of the white satin
which had been used for her wedding
dress, and across one corner was a
bit Of the lace with which the dress
was trimmed. To a sister she gave
a picture also mounted in the while
satin, but with a design Of orange
blossoms embroidered upon 1t, while
lue luOuuL lOI lue OlS given u6I maui
Of honor was of the white satin en-
broidered with a graceful spray of
bride roses. Friends less near re-
ceived pictures mounted with the
goods which had gone to make up the
different gowns Of her troussseau. The
mount made from the material of her
"going-away gown" had forget-me-
nots embroidered in small scattered
sprays, while some OF the silk and
figured goods were made up plain, be-
ing sufficiently decorative in them
selves. In each case the mounted pic
ture was bound in the glass with a
narrow strip of soft leather in a shade
to correspond with the color Of the
mount. Upon the back Of each was
plainly written the name and date OF
the wedding. 1t is needless to state
that the gifts were priced as the pic
lures alone never could have been,
and it is safe to predict that other
brides will follow the graceful fashion.

On Reading Alnnd.

It is a distinct loss that reading is
so badly taught and that so few peo-
pie know anything about the magic of
the poets in their use of sound. We
read almost exclusively with the eye,
although poetry is primarily intended
for the ear. Shakespeare wrote al
most exclusively for the ear, and we
remain unmoved by the wonderful vi.
bration of his great passages until we
hear them. Poetry ought always to
be heard first and read afterwards. If
the best of Browning is sympatheti-
cally and intelligently interpreted by
the voice, the much-discussed OBJ
scurity is not in evidence. Many
people find, for instance, a little diff
Guilty in getting the clear and full sig
niicauce of '"The Portrait of the Last
Duchess" when they read it for the
first time; but it fastens itself in
stantly on the imagination il it is well
read. A good deal of time, now de-
voted to commentaries and text-study,
might proftably be given to reading
the text aloud, without note or COM
ment. A work of art slowly discloses
its full meaning, and familiarity with
it Is the first condition of comprehen-
sion, Hamilton Mabie, in Harper's
BaZar.

FutIlItr OF NIght Attneks.

One thing that some British mill.
tary experts think the South African
War has decided is the futility OF
night attacks. Night fights may be
justified and successful under certain
conditions. These conditions are;
First, secrecy; second, the employ
ment OF the very best troops and the
most skillful staff To attack in force
means either that your troops advance
in an extremely close formation, and
thus lay themselves open to heavy
loses; or, if they are distributed, there
is the almost certain chance that a
number will go astray or spoil the
whole enterprise by some unrehearsed
effect.

suggestion Of an EHpert Laundress.

4 Suggestion of an Expert Laundress.
An expert laundress says that If
sheets and tablecloths are folded so
that the selvage edges will PASS
through the wringer first they will be
smoother and less likely to curl. She
also sounds note Of caution against
the habit of pouring boiling water on
soiled clothes. "You know" she
says, "if you submit anything that is
soft to the action of the heat it will
bake it hard. Pour boiling water in
the cake dish and it will cook the
dough in it. SO if you pour very
hot water on the clothes it cooks the
dirt in. If you are going to soak
clothes you will soak them in luke.
warm water. wash all the clothes
in lukewarm water. In summer only
a little warmer than it comes from the
faucet. Some people put all the
clothes to soak-the clean and dirty
together. This should never be done.
1t does not seem quite nice to put
table linen with soiled clothes from
the bed or body, and, moreover, the
dirt from the soiled clothes gets into
the clean ones and makes them
grimy."

AGE Told by Dress.

When ladies go to buy a dress in
Japan they tell the shop-keeper their
age, and if they are married or not,
because there are special designs for
the single and double relations Of
life, as well as for ages. The conse-
quence of this painful custom is that
you can tell the age of every lady you
meet, and you know whether she is
married, precisely rs though she were
labelled.

CLOSING OF VINCENT CIRCLE



For century past the month of
June has been distinguished for
the closing exercises of colleges
and universities termed commence
ment.
Since the high schools have Ia
ken the place OF the preparatory
schools, and the free school system
has spread from the Atlantic to the
Pacific the closing of the public
schools depend upon the length of
the their school year, which varies
in all the states from six 10 ten
months. The Chautauqua circle,
now represented by classes formed
In every state In the Union and the
parent of all the varihus literary
clubs Ia all parts of the world close
their work for the month of June.
The Vincent Circle held the closing
exercises at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Boyer last Saturday evening,
June 80. The clouds looked very
threatniug and as there had been
almost q constant down-pour OF
rain throughout the day the class
we're not all present and many OF
the invited guests did not venture
out. A pleasant social time was
enjoyed after the program, during
which dainty refreshments were
served. The claes separated with
pleasant memories of what had
been accomplished during the year
and of the hospitality of Mrs. Boyer
for the last meeting of the pear.

make men holy, let US die to make
them Free" there was wild applause.
When he quoted that he had refer

FOURTH AT REUNION PARK.

Fully 5000 people attended the
celebration at Reunion Park and a
happier or more respectable crowd
of people were never gathered 10.
gether under similar circum-
stances. The rowdy element was
entirely lacking, and there was
nothing transpired during the day
to mar the festivities.
The river had just got over a big
whiz aud the water was not as clear
or placid as usual so that the row
boats were little used, but the elec.
trio launch did d, fine business dur
ing the day and would have been
in demand at night had not a sud-
den rain storm come up about dark,
which dispersed the crowd.
The park was the particular ad.
miration of all, and many were
heard to Say it 10 the finest" or
"grandest" or "most magnificent
park in the West Strangers were
completely carried away with the
picturesque river, of the valley
from the hill, the grand forest trees
on the bottom, the big sugar ms.
pies, elms rnd sycsmores, the swift
running river, the beautiful lawn
of blue grass and white clover and
the enticing grasses. All seemed
to fill in and 70 to make up a most
ideal place for picnics, outings and
celebrations.
Owing to the Democratic conven'
tion no special trains could be OBJ.
tained or the crowd would have
been much larger. but there were
many who came in vehicles from
adjoining towns and the whole
country seemed to have turned out
for a good time.
II would seem that our citizens
should show a more active appre'
citation of the grandeur and import
ance of our park. 1t is the great at.
traction of Baxter Srings and must
in time be the medium of largely
increasing our population and &C.
curing us more railroads. We hope
the kickers will soon cease TO kick
and that all will aid and assist or at
least encourage the Reunion Asso-
citation in their endeavoring TO
build up the reputation of the park
and our city.
