Wonderful Night Scenes at the Pan .Ameri

OF all the wonderous scenes of scenic pac.
eantry ever offered for public amusement ana
pleasure, the electrical display every evening
at the Pan. American Exposition in Buffalo
exceeds in splendor and beauty anything ever
attempted, either in ancient or modern times.
Seen from the towers Of Stater's Hotel,
which adjoins the grounds, the sight is one
never to be forgotten, and must be seen to
be appreciated, for no languag. can ever do
it justice.
Bye the bye-the Statler's Hotel referred
to above has become in itself one of the
sights" of the Exposition, for in its own
particular line it stands unrivalled as the
largest and most unique hostelry ever plan
ned and built.
Although only three stories high, it con-
tains over 2Ioo rooms and can accommodate
over 5000 guests. The dining room will seat
1900, and SO perfect is the system and order
with which this gigantic institution is run,
that large parties Of excursionists, often
numbering hundreds are quickly taken care
oil without so much as ripple of excitement
Intending visitors to the Pan-American
should pay no heed to stories told on the
trains and elsewhere by runners" and
others about accommodations being expensive
and difficult to get in Buffalo.
At Siatler's one can get a good, clean,
comfortable room with breakfast and evening
dinner for $500 and 81. so day, and not
only enjoy the comfort of being close to the
Exposition, but save all the expense and

BUSINESS WOMEN AS WIVES.
Tact I'm Fiscal Affairs Does Not Spoil
the Woman of To-Day for
MatrimOny.

A feminine writer does not regard
the business woman as untitled for the
duties of a wife and mother. She re-
cards it as a matter of personal taste
upon the part of the man in the case.
If he wants clinging vine, some one
who will put him on pedestal and be
grateful that fate has given her god
usually inlet him keep away from
the business woman. But if he wants
a chum who will take him for what
he is-and in spite of it-who will be
a wife and pal, and will be solid COM
fort to him, let him choose. woman
who has been out into the business
world and gained broader view OF
the world and of man.
Such one will take a man for just
what he is worth-no foolish ideals
about his greatness; just a plain man
good fellow who won't bluff, because
he knows he cannot, and they will be
happy, because neither expects too
much.
Business never untitled any woman
for matrimOny who was originally
fitted for it. She can go through a
business career without any loss OF
any kind. 1t rests entirely with her
and she can gain muck which will be
of incalculable advantage in making
her life happy and that of the man
who gets her. Business broadens her
and gives her common sense-or, to be
more polite, more common sense.

NOTES OF THE MODES.
Newest Ideas In Jackets, Waists and
other Articles of Feminine
Apparel.

Jackets with short basques are di'
viding favor with the position eff
fects.' A fetching spring costume is
n mixture of pink and gray, the jack.
ct having short basque and coat col
lar with revers. The skirt has two
shaped flounces, each fiounce and the
shaped top being cut in two pieces
so that there is a double-stitched
seam down the front, which is the
straight way of the goods, and a
seam on the cross at the back.
The newest piques are double fold
and one has a corded rep finish more
like cloth than cotton fabric. 9th
ers have woven star spots self tone
Tucks are both heavy and light, the
latter verging on the transparency
of canvas grenadine, says fashion
authority.
Taffetas to be modish must be
glossy, soft and pliable, and of nc
weight at all. Light weight rules
everything. Nothing with heavy
body or stiffness is to be thought OF
for dressy gowns. Every day reveals
new weavings. Latterly, silk and
woolens appear in fine lacelike
meshes, which were thought possible
to laces and nets alone only Il
months ago. Bareges are as sheer as
mousseline de sole and crepes de
chine are quite as tight and airy
Gauze and CRANBERRY rank next to
tulles and mousseline in sheerness
for some mousselines exceed others
in clear transparency.
The fashion of buttoning fancy
waists in the back has extended to
the shirt waist, inconvenient as the
mode seems. However, as buttons
are used for fastening, it is not sc
impracticable as it seems, for slen'
der, supple women. And, surely, nc
others should attempt it.
Tulle and chiffon hats, combined
with straw of the various styles
were never more popular. They are
made ready to wear in the little
french toque, as well as in the cart
wheel style; they come in all of the
new shades, as we'll as in the stan
dard black.
The most prominent flower of the
season is the little Dresden rose
which is used on hats in fanciful gar
lands, as well as clustered into pom
pons.
Fine white, hand-embroidered ba
tistes and India mulls in pale colors
embroidered with a tiny black dot
are charmingly represented among
the new thin gowns. For the latter
plain null is used in combination
and the daintiest black chantilly lace
lightly dotted over with the finest
jet beads is a pretty trimming. A
stylish model for foulard or yelling
is where the vest is of lace partially
covered by an outer vest of white
taffeta embroidered with polka dots
in the color of the gown. The spe'
cial Partisan touch is shown in the
scarf of chiffon, which begins with a
rosette at either end of the lace col
lar and continues down from under
meath the belt to the knee.

"'Get next Ed, said Barrett, giving
his pal a dig. Dye think there's a

bunch?'
"'Not in a Million replied Fellows.
It's the goods. Go after it.
"The tall, Ianky man in the store
clothes peeled off fifty and hurled
it on the bar, remarking that that
was his smallest, and then he leaned
on one prop and gazed dreamily at
his reflection in the bar mirror while
the barkeeper was making change.

it came to butting in, and two min

seemed, was the proprietor of gen.

TRUE GREATNESS.

The wisest man ever knew
Had neither wealth nor fame;
Few people in this busy world
Have ever heard his name;
He never wrote q book nor led
An army in the fray,
Nor asked men for their votes nor
mourned
Because they said him nay.
He may have known his Bible and
His Shakespeare through and through
If so he never tried to let
The world know what he knew;
He toiled, and Fortune sweetly smiled,
And still he toiled away,
And stopped to rest and found himself
A millionaire one day.
This was the greatest, wisest man
/ ever knew, because,
Although he never wrote book
Nor won the worlds applause,
He took his million and withdrew
From all the rush and roar,
Instead of starting in anew
To win a million more.
