Some of the new parasols are set
with lace medallions and appliqued

An exquisite white glace silk blouse
is trimmed bolero fashion, with tur-

Velvet applique spots appear on
many of the light and dainty fabrics,
such as glace silk, mousseline, chiffon,

Smoked pearl buttons as fasteners

SUMMER CYCLING fashions.
Olsh' Tray and Boat shaped Hats, with
Sporting Clothes.

Disn' Afoy ana Boat shaped Hats with
Sporting Clothes.
Sporting clothes are growing danger
ously and delightfully."- becoming and
picturesque. The directoire coat is
bound, they say, to force eventually
the abdication Of the English habit
coat for riding; the new brown, red
and white linen golf skirts have got a
:utied bottom this spring. and the
cycling outfits that are now turned out
by the tailors would appear to advan-
tage at garden parties and in drawing
rooms. Just now we are halllng Joy
ously the new sporting skirts Of silk,
linen and silk flannel, their bosoms
laid with stitched down tucks that
have a piped edge and high turnover
"Aiglon collar faced with a bright
plaid silk The sleeves of such waists
are a modified bishop in shape with
small, round stitched cuffs holding the
fulness at the waist.
Inch by inch and season by season
the cycling skirt has grown longer,
and for the warm weather that is
surely coming they are Offering the
most beguiling English mohair skirts
and Jackets. A very becoming cycling
suit can be made Of mushroom gray
and trimmed with blue silk braid. The
Jacket is also decorated with some CO.
luettlshly superhuous buttons of blue
enamel, and shows little false vestlets
In front of striped blue and white silk
poplin. The garment Is worn over a
jaunty little blue and white calico
skirt and the mohair skirt Is garnished
with blue braid about the bottom. A
1ish-shaped straw of blue, with a
spotted foulard handkerchief and
blue quill, comprise the appropriate
cycling headgear.
1t is an odd fact that these, dish,
Ooat and tray-shaped straws that were
evolved and introduced especially this
season to meet the demand for travel.
Ing, golhng, cycling and general out
door wear have been brought up and
worn by women as general spring
headgear. They were designed only
to serve as substitutes for alpines and
sailors, and they look as out of place
with calling costumes as yachting caps
Or sunbonnets would.
The very dressy cyclist and golfer is,
by the way, ordering her next suit of
serge, mohair or linen to be made with
a many y-gored corselet skirt, Eight
cores win not be considered too many
for such service, and the seams of
every gore must be strapped, stitched
and piped with satin. OF course, it
will require the figure Of a nymph and
the grace Of a Psyche to carry off one
Of these skirts effectively, and it is sad
but true that along with the corselet
skirt has arrived the satin ribbon bri-
tells or suspenders that had passing
vogue seven years ago, but which
were laughed out OF use and never
worn by the truly Washing
ton Star.

musienl orders For an Armx.

The Russian General Krianowski Is
a musical amateur, who has discov-
cred a new way to utilize music in the
Russian army. The Russian troops,
1t is declared, sing on the march, and
the worthy general hopes to cause
them to he known by the tune that
they sing in order that he may tell in

The idea is, of course, capable OF
expansion. Instead of, as now, order

A FUNSTON STORY.
The Gallant Kansan's Exciting Expert.
ences with a Cowboy.

ences with a Cowboy.
This is the season for the Funston
story. Some Of the anecdotes told in
reference to the captor of Aguinaldo
are more or less apocryphal, but until
the gallant general comes back from
the Philippines to deny them they will
probably pass unchallenged, which
has been the case with a yarn that
originated somewhere in the West.
After Funston's brief but exciting
experience in journalism he became a
conductor on the Santa Fe line, and
in this capacity found himself in al
most daily association with various
tough things in the cowboy line. Ono
day a cattle puncher who had imbibed
more whisky than was good for his
nerves boarded Funston's train at
way station, and Immediately began
to mako trouble. Refusing to pay his
fare and shooting holes in the ceiling
Of the car proved to be among his spe-
cilatles. He was a deal bigger than
Funston, but the latter did not hesi-
tate TO emphasize his authority by
kicking the fellows pistol from his
hand and throwing MIN off the train.
Tho cowboy grabbed chunk Of bal
last and smashed a car window; then
lie fed down the track, with Funston
in hot pursuit, and filnging gravel af-
tec the fugitive as he ran. Finally the
cowboy got away and his pursuer,
tired and byeathless, returned to his
train. The chase had occupied some
thing over half an hour and Funston's
train was just so much behlndhand at
the end Of the run. The divisional su-
perinceEdcnt made an inquiry and
Funston explained.
"You d.d right to fire him." said the
superintendent, "but what did you
chase him for?'
Because / was mad replied the
conductor "You would be mad, too,
If anybody flung a rock through your
window"
Probably" said the superintendent,
"but l wouldn't do it again If wer
you."-Brocklyn Eagle.

Training the Young Iden.

Children are more often spoiled dur
ing the first month of their lives than
at any other time. 1t is then that the
seed Is sown that will influence their
entire lives. If the nurse feels IN
clined to take a little exercise she is
very apt to take the wee bundle of hui
manity in her arms and give it its first
lesson in being troublesome. At the
end of a week the baby will cry for a
continuance of the pastlme, and here
is where the trouble begins. At the
end of a month night walking has been
firmly established, and the wearied
mother wonders V ny her child is so
troublesome.
Neither allow a child to be carried
or nursed more than is absolutely nee
essary for attention to it's needs. The
less a child is handled during the first
three months OF its life the better it
will be for the child.
The mother will now take q hand in
the spelling Of the little one by giving
1t food whenever 1t cries, no matter
what the cause may be. Most fire.
Quently an over-abundance OF food Is
the very cause of its discomfort, but
at the first cry the mother flies to add
to its troubles, and an attack Of indi-
gestion follows. there is a greater
wrong in this than even the overfeed.
ing of the child, for this is the first
lesson given in s2lf-indhgence, and
the mother, anxious though she may
be for the welfare of her precious
child, Is responsible. Let tine child be
regularly fed, and, should he cry, try
to find some other Cause for his unhap-
piness
Habits of neatncss should also be
inculcated at very early age, as well
as habits Of regularity. See that his
bath IL given at the same time each
day, and that his morning nap follows
with regularity. BE sure that the
room where the child is put to sleep
has been freshly aired. Plenty OF light
warm covers are necessary for him,
and for this purpose there is nothing
better than cheese cloth nicely quilted
with a good quality Of wool Let fancy
ribbons go If the quality of the mate
rial must be lowered in order to have
the ribbons. These spreads If made
at home, are so inexpensive that there
is no excuse for them becoming soiled
/ and untidy. Fresh air is also very i'm
portant for the child, and he should
be taken out of doors every day, unless
the day Is stormy.
Avoid draughts, but do not make a
hot-house plant of your baby. Every
conscientious mother will find in the
training Of her child she also is being
trained, for their is no experience that
will so broaden a thoughtful woman
as the brining up Of little child

"Row MANY 11nots an Hourg"

"How many knots an hour are you
going" is a nautical question which
can we'll be propounded just now to
the dressmaker or the woman who is
fixing up her last summers gown.
The dainty French knot studs her col
larette and oft times her silken girdle.
The tiny knot of velvet ribbon is a
rival, a good second in sooth. The
knots are used as a finish in many
places on the robe, as a terminal point
where the lines of narrow velvet rib
bon trim the gown. The rows which
finish the waist are concluded with
tiny knots, one on each side Of the full
front. The ladder of velvet ribbon
which ascends the skirt panel or tra-
verses the bodice or meanders on the
sleeve is finished in precisely the same
way.
Little knots of narrowest black vel
vet ribbon are applied to the tiounce
OF black Chantllly lace which overlies
the sub-Aounces, either Of ColOred fou-
lard or of colored mousselne de sole.
Mites of knots are spaced at the
ends of the long sash, q feature Of the
handsome summer frock. The sash
has rounded oblong ends. The end OF
the flowing sash is usually much
broader than the upper part, where it
disappears under the loops and knots.
The sash is already tied and stitched
to the Gown. II Is made often of Lib
erty satin.
