He evidently had been inveigled INTO
that most foolish occupation for a
mere man, shopping with his wife.
Fatigue, ennui and irritability were eX-
pressed in the droop of his figure, the
expression of his face and the limp
ness of his manner. His wife, on the
contrary, was placid, alert and appar-
entity we'll satisfied with herself ana
others. He hung from Il strap in the
crowded car with an i'll grace. She
clung to his arm for support. He,

on panne velvet, liberty satin and 9TH
er mysteries of fabric and dress, in
terlarded with illusions to the merits
and dement's of Flemish oak, bamboo
furniture and Renaissance lace cur
tains for house-furnishing.
The man stifled groan occasionally
but otherwise suppressed all indica-
tions of feeling and intelligence At
the end of several weary miles, now
ever, he remarked bitterly, "And you
have been shopping for more than
three hours without finding one thing
that you want to buy. What is the
good of it,"
But, Tom, I know exactly what 1
don't want Don't be foolish. Here is

Modifying the Mode.

BY the way, the lace or net under
sleeves, so confidently announced be-
forehand, are by no means so gener-
ally worn as was thought would be
the case. 4 little later on it may be
different, but just now there are not
so many undersleeves visible at any
social gathering. 1t may be noticed
that the lace undersleeves are COM
paratively small, and close fitting. not
the balloon affairs of an older fashion,
which unduly extended the size oi the
forearm. Fashionable women IN
America always contrive to modify y
new mode to make it becoming. AS
Americans we have our share in the
national sense of humor, and so we
rob a new fashion of its eccentricity
or unbecomingness before adopting it
on this side of the water. In vain does
an Importer" declare this or that is
''well worn," equivalent to "all the
rage" in London or Paris. If it does
not look well on an American woman
the mode is altered or adapted before
being adopted here. Becomingness is
a sine qua non of the wardrobe Of an
American girl.

Very small handkerchiefs, daintily
embroidered and trimmed with lace,
are the fashion.
Cashmeres in pretty light colors are
embroidered in small rings of white
silk, which give them new style.
Low-necked night gowns, made with
n much-trimmed loose bodice and a
trimmed skirt attached, are the modes
for summer wear.
A new silk, which is like quicksil-
yer in appearance, has appeared. 1t
is plain, not figured, and is used for
waists instead of taffeta.
One-button kid gloves are worn with
the new sleeve, which has the dainty
undersleeve banded so closely at the
wrist that n longer glove is clumsy.
The elegance of the white lawn
petticoat has no limit this season. 1t
is trimmed with very handsome en-
broidery and lace, is made to fit the
hips in the approved fashion.
Scarfs of Maltese and Brussels lace
are very much worn with the soft.
finely tucked silk stocks. They are
carried twice around the neck and
tied sailor fashion, bow on the bust.
Gold and silver ribbons, which are
silk and tipsel woven together, are q
new fancy axsa are a very pretty one
for belts and collar bands. They are
as soft and pliable az if they were Of
all silk.
A plain pale blue parcsol is one Of
the items of fashionable outfit this
season, and detachable cover of fine
white muslin tucked and trimmed
with Valenciennes lace transforms it
into n dressy one for afternoon.
Paisley pattern is very much in evi.
dence in shirts and cravats, and the
latest necktie is of pale colored crepe
de chine, with broad hem of paisley
pattern, bearing silken fringes. These
look extremely well worn with the
little boleros.
Some of the hats to be seen in the
shops do not look like anything else
so much as the tops to baby carriages
They are low, lace-covered, with s
wide, hanging frill of lace over the
edge. Almost everything in the way
OF a hat is large.
Some of the most elaborate white
pettlcoats for summer wear are 30
filmy in material and trimming that
one doubts if they are at all practical.
All idea fresh from Paris Is a petit
coat of light weight silk, with wide
flounce Of sheer linen, lace or en-
broidered muslin, bordered with a
fringed ruche Of the silk.
Some Of the latest French hats are
very simple as to trimming, but elegant
enough in shape and quality of the
straw. Narrow back velvet ribbon is
sometimes run through the meshes
Of lace straw around the edge of a
Spanish toque and a soft crumpled
knot Of black piece velvet with q
fancy pin is the only trimming.

FOR WOMAN'S BENEFIT.
Impressionnble Girls.

The charmer will always be abroad
in society, and while the world may eX-
cuse or may berate him, his influence
over the susceptible girl is constantly
working. Knowing that his species
will never be stamped out, and that
the maiden will always be found to
offer her heart as pure tablet for i'm
pressions, how important it is that she
should have for q friend and guide
one who will not destroy the exquisite
quality of her nature, through trying
to harden her so that she may become
indifferent to possible rebuffs in heart
experiences. What is needed is not
the bunting of the sensibilities, but
deyelopement of the judgment. So
that if the one nearest and dearest to
her is an enthusiast, knowing the dan
gers of the way, while recognizing the
delights of a pure and true love, she
may show the inexperienced girl how
to avoid the pitfalls in her relation to
the other seX, teaching her to use dis
erection, Nor lose the childlike in the
larger mind."-Mary L. Baldwin in the
Woman's Home Companion.

Feeding the Baby.

A bottle-fed infant should always be
held while taking its food except at
night At that time he should be laid
on his side while some one holds the
bottle and sees that the child does not
go to sleep until he has finished, or
that he has taken what he wants,
when the bottle should be removed.
Never allow the child to fall asleep
while nursing, or to keep the nipple in
the mouth all night either is a per-
nicious habit. From two to two and Il
half hours required by Il healthy in
fant to digest meal; do not, therefore,
force more food into the stomach be-
fore it has finished the work it has on
hand; if this is done, the organ is over
worked, does not get sufficient rest
and will soon break down under the
pressure brought to bear upon it. \
young baby should be fed once in two
hours; after the tirstfour or five weeks,
every two and half hours; after two
months, every three hours. AS the
child grows in age and strength he
takes more food, and consequently
does not require to be as frequently
fed. During the night three feedings
are enough for the very young infant;
later, two; and by the time he reaches
his fourth month feeding at 10 p. IN.
will be found sufficient until & or a.

There had been quite a little talk
about robbers, and reports had been
circulated that some of the inhabitants
had lost various things from their
woodsheds.
These reports he'd greatly excited
many Of the residents, especially the
children, many of whom never thought
of going to bed without hiding their
treasures and securely fastening every
door and window.
In one home was a very imaginative
little daughter named Mabel, who was
about IL years old. These stories had
made great impression on her mind,
and she spent a good deal of time
planning how she would meet them
when they came. Time went on, but
still the robbers made no appearance,
and Mabel was beginning to feel rath-
or sighted, because she longed for a
chance to show her courage.
At last one night she thought her
turn had come. She was awakened at
midnight by grating sound, which
seemed to come from closet in her
room. Her courage began to waver
and all her plans deserted her. She
lay wondering what to do for at least
five minutes, but could not decide. She
had once almost decided to rouse the
household, but she thought the robber
would kill the person coming to assist
her
At last she could stand it no longer.
so she called one of the members of
the family, just to let the robber know
she was awake
Soon after that the noise ceased, but
Mabel lay awake the rest of the night,
ready to give the alarm. In the morn
ing the first thing she did was to peer
cautiously into the closet. To her sur
prise she saw nothing, but careful in
vestigation showed that corner Of the
door had been .nibbled by some poor
little mouse, who had made vain at
tempt to escape.
That evening Mabel put a mouse
trap in the closet and caught the dis
turber. Happy to relate, she has nev-
er been troubled by robbers since.

shaped, high and turned over. The
elbow sleeves are also finished with
turnover cuffs, and the under-sleeves
are full. AS the season advances the
bolero is more popular than ever, and
the majority of the summer frockS
are built with them. Their variety is
endless. Perhaps the latest phase of
this accessory of fashion is one OF
rich brocade, to be worn with lace
frocks. An effective ecru lace gown
berufiied and inserted from hem to
waistband has short bolero of black

Double-breasted boleros are also seen
among the latest importations. A

THE LAST OF THE BISON.
Even tho Yellowstone Park Herd Has
Dwind1ed Away.

DWlHuleu away.
In answer to correspondent,
writer in Forest and Stream has this to
say regarding the practical eXtermina-
ton of the American bison in its wild
state:
"In 1865, when Billy Hofer and my
self made the trip through the Yellow
stone park in the winter with the pur-
pose of counting the buffalo, it was
supposed that there We're 800 good
buffalo left in the Yellowstone park.
We could not feel in the least sure that
there We're over 125 after we had
counted all that we could find or hear
of, and then we felt that it was quite
likely we had counted the same bunch
more than once. Probably there We're
100 to 125 head in the park at that
time. There We're Mt that time in the
Musselshell country of Montana about
eight or ten head of buffalo, which
were later killed by the Crees. There
were also then perhaps a few animals
of somewhat mythical herd in the
Red Desert of Wyoming, never esti-
uitltu at VIVA .i tpNsCi iltub, anu '4'o@S
existence for the past ten years has
been more than doubtful. Also the
same could be said regarding the Lost
park herd of Colorado, where for a
time, half dozen or so buffalo were
known to exist. There may have
been half dozen of them in 1879,
but it is doubtful if any are alive now.
IA tNtln a
park met their fate the more quickly
by reason of the fact that during
mild winter they wandered out from
the west side of the park and were
killed my men along the edge of the
park. AS they We're picked up about
as fast as they came out into Idaho or
the Market Lake precincts, it is un-
likely that any are left alive outside
the park. Inside the park, at last ac-
counts, during the past year, there
were only about II or Is buffalo sup
posed to be Left and these were not
breeding.
"There is not, In all likelihood,
single individual left of the Staked
Plains herd, out of which Buffalo
Jones caught his calves in 1886 to
1889. Up in the Peace river region
of the British possessions there really
is herd of wood bison left, for so
my friend Norris, who was up there
last year, tells me, and he says the
Indians know where they are. The
numbers of these are not known, and
it would be only guesswork to state
them, as, indeed, it is more or less
guesswork to state figures as above.
son the face of all discoverable in
formation on this head, it is safe to
say there are not dozen live wild
buffalo outside the Yellowstone park
In the United States, and if there is
n single one l do not know where IL
is. Inside the park there may be
twenty head or so.
"The Peace river herd, not In the
United States, and always more or
less of fable, may number hun
dred head, though it is by no means
likely. 1t is more apt to be the case
that there may be only a score or so
of these animals which have been
able to escape the hungry Indian OF
that forsaken region"
