The Glorious Fourth.

While no elaborate preparation was made for celebration of Independence Day at Nogales, still the committee having the matter in hand made fine showing and the day passed off in very enjoyable manner. The Fire Department turned out for drill and to try their machinery and the water supply. One of the amusing features was a water b ttle between two lines of hose, one from the engine, the other from the water company's main. Both crews were thoroughly drenched and Chief L. W. Mix, who got in to separate the combatants, received the fire of both to the great amuse- ment of participants and spectators And some of the spectators came in for little ducking.
 In the park there was a series of impromptu boxing matches among the kids, who put on the gloves and after the bouts were each rewarded with a quarter. The gentleman who inaugurated that rate of payment soon found so many kids clamorous for chances to box that his bank account was threatened, and he retired in dismay.
 After the fire drill the boys Of the department and their friends met at the engine house and beer and sand wiches we're served.
 At the U. s. custom house Collector Hoey and the force also entertained their friends.
 At evening the Fire Department paraded with torches and fireworks, and then the days pleasure was wound up with grand ball at Ath- letic Club hall, attended by fully fifty couples, which was heartily enjoyed by all participants.

Taste of American Women.

Felix. the Partisan dressmaker, has de-
clared that: From every point of view
the American is the most satisfactory of
any of the many nationalities with whom
| have had to deal. She has natural
beauty and grace to which she adds chic
and judgment. What more ideal com
bnation could dressmaker required.
The tendency Of the American woman u
perhaps trihe toward the effective. not
to say slightly snowy, in dress. but she
never oyersteps the bounds of good taste.
She studies herself well, and knows what
suits her, and wears it. This perfect
sense of the fitness of things places the
well-dressed woman of the United States
head and shoulders above her sisters of
Mexico or the South American countries.
Nothing could be worse than the average
garb of the Spanish American woman,
She has no taste whatever, and will wear
anything her dressmaker may choose to
put on her back. As rule the color is
vivid and the fashion outre. Not so with
the woman of the states. She does not
propose to be dictated to in matters of
dress. She is very glad to take sugges-
tons from her dressmaker, but she has
ideas of her own

What She Does Who

EmbrOidering slippers for the minister
has gone out of fashion, but we do
fancy work occasionally when our cad
dies are sick or the weather stormy. The
making of lace absorbs many of us for
few hours a week or a month. according
to our reposeful temperamentS and strong
wills.
Beading purses Of silk or suede such
as cur grandmothers used to carry is an
other gentle employment for slim, white
fingers.
Stringing rough-hewn gems and jingles
on chains is a fad fresh from Paris. and
has unique feature for fancy work-it
is not hard Oh the eyes.
Embroidering with paillettes, crystals
and spangles is fascinating play, and one
can beautify in this way chemisettes. cor
lars, fancy sleeves. empire belts, etc.

llghtful adornments for serge frocks, and

Arrange Furniture Cozily.

When the sitting or drawing room is
large enough, it is always a good idea
to arrange the furniture in coy little
groups. Where there is a fireplace
delightful effect is produced by placing
settee at one side, at a right angle. and
a large chair opposite. with small ta-
bic, perhaps, beside it, for reading lamp
and books. Near the window may be
another group of chairs and a little ta-
BILE. Lounging chairs are ont of place
in room where visitors are formally
received, but the chairs should be large
and comfortable to sit on.
A clever suggestion was made by a
decorator, who said: Observe your
room after your guests have left it. The
grouping of the chairs which they have
unconsciously made when sociability
reigned will be suggestive"

To Prevent Serious Academic.

The polished floor strewn with rugs is
dangerous as well as ornamental in a
house where there are old people Or
young children. TO prevent the rugs
from slipping when stepped on by falter-
ing feet a housewife recommends tae ap-
p.ication of a few / of adhesive plaster
to the underside of the rug
it is not a bad idea to fasten adhesive
plaster 10 the soles of the childrens
shoes. This viii insure an upright atti-
tude if not a stationary one. This plan
is followed in the orthopedic wards Of
hospitals and prevents serious accidents
which so often come from apparently
slight slips and falls.

The sweetest roses fall from OFF the stem,
The rarest things on earth cannot abide.
And we are passing, too. away like them.
We're growing old.
We had our dreams-those rosy dreams of
youth
They faded, and twas well. This after

Hath brought US fuller hopes, and yet, for
sooth.
We drop a tear now in this latter time
To think we're old
We smieat those poor fancies of the past
saddened smile, almost akin to pain.
Those high desires. those purposes so vast.
All poor hearts. they cannot come again.
We're growing old.
Old? Well, the heavens are old; this earth
