Trnmc ON the Brooklyn Bridge.
Few people realize the immense ira
ffic Of the Brooklyn bridge. Not less
than 75.000,O0o people cross 1t during
the year. most of them on the trolley
cars which run at half-minute inter-
walls. The terminus Of nearly all the
Brooklyn street railways is now on the
New York side of the bridge, so that
1t is unnecessary for their patrons to
change cars upon reaching the Brook
lyn side, and the same plan will be
adopted for the new bridge.

shepherd dog and began to knit. She
was sitting with her face turned to-
ward the home Of Thorne, but the mist
began to rise SO that she could not
even distinguish the tree tops. She
moved over to the other side. and
there she sat dreaming for long time
with her eyes riveted on the vast sea.
The view filled her soul with unspeak.
able peace.
Suddenly she felt a desire to give
vent to her feelings in loud melody.
She sang the songs Of childhood, the
ditties OF the village, the Morse nation
al song, and her music sounded weird
in the silent night. Then she thought
that some one was answering her.

cried to God to aid Thoret with His

Tique and Duck Costumes for Summer
Wear-A Lace Bodice-Khaki In Pop
ular = The Latest Driving Coat - A
Picturesque Bntiste Frock.
Pique and Duck Costumes.

Pique and duck costumes are to be
very fashionable this year, and the
new designs are certainly charming.
Many of the piques are light in weight
and gracefully embellished with de-
signs Of embroidery Colored pique
and duck gowns are built in a variety
of different colorings. A blue duck
costume is made with circular skirt
and some slight fullness at the back.
The sailor blouse is wide, and the
tucker is of tucked muslin. Many OF
the smartest piques have the seams
banded with contrasting color. For
example, white piQue has the seams
banded with a narrow piece OF red
stitched with white, the Elton coat
decorated with red sailor collar with
a band OF white. Cotton canvases in
all colors are in evidence. The delicate
pastel colors are deemed very fash
ionable One in pastel blue has skirt
laid in plaits, or rather shingles, that
reach nearly to the line of the knee.
The Elton coat opens in the front TO
reveal a waistcoat of white canvas
buttoned with two rows Of small gold
buttons. The jacket is collarless and
is ornamented with inch-wide bands
two inches long, with pointed ends,
that form a trimming, which follows
the outline of the coat. The sleeves
are plain, and the choker consists OF
finely tucked grass cloth. All OF the
striped piques make charming cos
tunes and they are especially beconl-
ing to a stout figure. simple but
pretty black and white stripe has
plain skirt save for the plated fans,
which are set in all of the seams at the
hem. The sailor blouse has deep
collar and a necktie of soft black silk,
the girdle of the same material, the
tucl1s of corded white muslin. Among
the smartest costumes are those OF
pure white. The favorite model IS
built strictly on tailor lines, all the
seams stitched several times. Butch
ers' linens are novel and bewitching.
This fabric in dark blue, trimmed with
light blue, constitutes an unusual
frock. There Is no light blue on the
skirt except the heavy stitching. The
underskirt is trimmed with plating
and the long tunic is buttoned in front
with a row of small pearl buttons. The
blouse has a jacket front. There is
deep sailor collar, made double, with
tho light blue over the dark blue.
White duck makes the vest and cho-
ker. A model of red has skirt made
with clhstors of little plaits in the
sides. The short jacket has an inner
vest of white, and stitched pieces OF red
ornament the biases.

Khaki Is Popular.

All undoubted authority writes from
Paris that the khaki cloth is much in
vogue and that 1t Is used to build
many of the chic racing costumes. An
effective model of this strange but be-
coming material has skirt which Is
laid in shingles. The bodice is OF ecru
lace mounted over black satin and held
by high plated belt Of the cloth, the
sleeves of the material laid III shingles.
White organizes trimmed with black
lace are prominent among the thin
costumes. The lace appears In wide
insertions set in stripes all around tho
skirt and bodice between groups OF fne
tucks. Every possible phase OF tuck
ing, every conceivable mode OF using
lace is illustrated in the gowns
this season. Some Of the prettiest
summer gowns are made OF white
nuns yelling, both in the fine sheer
weaves and the variety called course
yelling. Russian and cluny laces are
especially effective as trimming when
set in around the skirt above the hem
in deep pointed design. Above this
the skirt Is series of vertical bands.
Joined with an openwork stitch Other
white yelling gowns. with simple tuck
ed skirts, are made very effective with
a wide collar of embroidered white
taffeta edged with applique lace. Or
CANDY gowns are as elaborate as they
are alluring. The pure white ones are
especially beautiful. A lovely model
just completed has deep overskirt
with bias lines of three widths OF
white satin ribbon ranging from one
quarter to one-half an inch in width.
These groups meet down the front
and back and form bias lines over the
sides. The edge of the overdress has q
deep accordion plated flounce, finished
by triple rows of satin ribbons. The
bodice has a deep yoke simulated by
narrow valenciennes and Swiss inser-
lions over the top of the sleeves. The
two kinds of insertion are Joined by
herringbone stitching. Over the Shout
der is deep bias stripe laid in a series
of plaits, fichuwise, the lowest edge OF
this finished by a ribbon edged and
lace trimmed rufile or orsandy The
waist band is of white satin.

THEIR COURTSHIP.

"This sort Of game is all we'll, but
II It lasts much longer I shall be a
perfect wreck" said Arthur Mason to
himself one evening, as he sat gazing
thoughtfully at the fireplace. For the
last six months have been head over
heels in love with Vera Fray,and, what
is worse, not had the pluck to tell her
So But she Is such peculiar girl
he argued in self-defensc). IF 1t was
any one else wouldn't hesitate mo-
ment."
Mason was man of about rs, and
as full of passion and sentiment as
man we'll could be. But he had been
brought up in orthodox English style
with aany sharp lessons never to be-
tray his feelings. These lessons had
been so hammered into him in his
youth that he found now that even
against his own wishes it was almost
impossible to show what his real opin-
ion was of anything that affected his
likes or dislikes. When he was most
happy people thought him sad,and vice
versa. 1t was, perhaps, on account of
the p. .uliar way he had of looking ut
things that he invariably saw the fun
ny side first, sometimes on the most
serious occasions.
His passion for Vera at times made
him laugh, and when on the verge of
proposing to her the thought would
strike him how foolish he would look.
The truth Of it was, he knew too much
of the world, and the love affairs of
his friends had appeared ridiculous to
him.
One of the chief attractions Of Vera
in his opinion was her passive nature,
and 1t was that perhaps which made
him falter. The idea of her being in
love seemed absurd to him.
The week following the self-com-
munings just recorded. he knew that
Vera would be at dinner party to
which he had also been invited, and

Stuffed Turnips.

Select one quart OF medium sized
tulnips; peel and boil them in sailed
water until tender, drain, cut slice
from the top of each, scoop out half
the middle with teaspoon, mash the
part taken out, with salt,pepper, butter
and the yolk OF an egg, and fill the tur-
nips with the mixture. Put back the
slices cut off, brush over with the
beaten white of an egg, set them in a
baking dish and brown in a hot oven.
Serve hot.

A picturesque batiste frock has
skirt laid in clusters of fine plaits about
the hips, which gives the effect of a
full round skirt The blouse is made
with clusters of vertical tucks, and is
half covered by deep, round collar of
embroidery. The sleeves are full, al
most baggy, and fasten into little
lace cuff at the wrist. Stirring is seen
everywhere, and there will be more OF
it as the season advances. A lovely
model of white mousseline de sole has
shirred sleeves that meet lace under
sleeves. The bodice is built with a
sleeveless, short bolero. The skirt Is
shirred on the side and trimmed about
the bottom with squares of lace like
those making the little jacket.

Turnover BOierO.

A high turnover is the latest feature
of the bolero. A model of gray nuns
yelling, made with full, round skirt
has a boloro laid in plaits that form
inverted VS. in the back, which is cut
up in the back to show a high belt or
black satin. The sleeves and cheml-
settle are of embroidered white muslin.
The collar of this jacket is coat
shaped, high and turned over. The
elbow sleeves are also finished with
turnover cuffs, and the undersleeves
are full. AS the season advances the
bolero is more popular THAI ever, and
the majority of the summer frocks are
built with them. Their variety Is end
less. Perhaps the latest phase OF this
accessory of fashion is one OF rich bro
cade. to be worn with lace frocks. An
effective ecru lace gown beruffied and
inserted from hem to waisttand has

Most Wonderful of All.

The broomstick train, as DR.. Holmes
called it, the electric car operated by
the overhead trolley system, had just
been introduced to Aberdeen, when
two farm servants came to the Scottish
city to spend holiday. They made
their way at once to the terminus of
the street railway, and looked with
much wonder at the new creation. FL
nally they resolved to have ride. At
the end of the ride one of them ex-
pressed their united opinion. "Wull,"
he said, this is a graun' invention. In
