THE UNKISSED MAN
 PROF. A. R. CROOK

vious eyes upon me. A king on his throna was neverhappier and he never had half the right to be. young fellow with pretty sweetheart who likes him just a little bit and loves to be in the moonlight with him is the most blessed of man. kind.
 Well. we talked. After a while we let the boat drift, rather think Maybe her pretty eyes drew me nearer to her. Maybe her loose curls touched my cheek Maybe we were saying tender things nothings. Maybe I touched her hand
 Then 1t happened It is the touch that does 1.-the electric thrill. A young fel. low could no more help it than he could stop a storm, and a girl couldn't either. Why should they? There is the silvery quiet; there is the pretty girl daring him: there is the young fellow--then there's a kiss"
 The Senator was blushing a rosy red, and he laughed loud and heartily at the delicious memory.
 Don't ask me Just how 1t happened. ] don't know but I know it did happen. and that is one of the sweetest memories of my fife An, what a pretty girl she was, and how her eyes stirred something me-
 Ut was the old story of Eve and the apple. It always is. The right sort of young fellow can't resist the forbidden fruit, and Eve don't want him to.
 Tt is very late for Crook to begin. Still 1t Is not too late for even a sinner, like Crook to repent and reform. He must be saved. The girls must do 1t; they owe it to the sex to wipe out the stigma of this man getting up and proclaiming that In a life of 37 years he has never hugged or kissed girl. It is direct rf1ection on all the women Crook has ever known"
 Washington society women are inclined to ridicule Chicago's perfect man. Dr. Algie R. Crook of the Northwestern Uni- versity. Miss Mabel Merriam, daugh- ter of Census Director Merriam, and one of the noted belles of the copital, says:
 'I should like to see man. who pos sesses such a long list of virtues. He should get museum engagement. I think the whole American public would pay a good-sized fee to get glimpse of such a paragon of virtue"
 Mrs. J. c. Burrows. wife of the Mich igan Senator, said: "I do not think the fact of a mans not smoking, drinking or chewing will be sufficient to call him a monument of virtue. That he has never kissed woman is surely no criterion of perfection. Dr. Crook gives a very good account of himself, but there should be corroborative evidence that all this is strictly true. What do his brother pro- fessors and his pupils say of him, that is the thing to learn before he is called a perfect man"
 The men of Washington were not ready with comment. Most of them shrugged their shoulders and said: "How delight full this sunshine is after all the rain.'
 General Miles said: "Pshaw" Post, master-General Smith, Poor chap" and Senator Heitfeld, You mean he comes from Boston, don't you? Not Chicago? What Chicago is right. We'll, things have changed about the matter. We don't have the species in Idaho'

The Waterviiles Defeated.

Local base ball enthusiasts were wild
with delight, Saturday afternoon last,
at the outcome of the game with the
Watervlles at Fairview Park, as our
boys defeated the visitors In hard
hitting game by a score of 16 to s.
The visitors are conceded to be about
the "warmest thing" to be fouLd In anna
teur base ball circle In Maine, and came
here fresh from a succession Of victories
and full of confidence. Such confidence
was we'll warranted and Skowhegan peo-
Pile almost to man, expected the result
to be different. After the game had pro
ceeded but three innings 1t was evident
Skowhegan had ball team to be proud
of, and only once during the game was
Waterville In the lead, and the game in
doubt. The outs were played like pro.
fessionals, while at the bat our boys hit
the ball so hard and often that the re-
nowned Bushey, to whose credit as a
pitcher, most of the Waterville's victories
are due, had to retire from the box in
the sixth inning amid the cheers of the
crowd.
1t was a good game to witness, yet
somewhat loose and the victory was one
we'll worth the battle. Parker, our ne W
pitcher, gave the best exhibition seen
on these grounds this season, allowing
only hits to Bushey's %. Charlton at
short and Jones at second both played
brilliantly and Hodgdon on first got
everything that came his way.

Beauty OF the Bathing
Gowns Seen at Newport
They Show to a Degree the Craze for Individuality
j. That Prevails This Season ta

M ANY forms OF amusement have
lYl been introduced at Newport
during each successive season.
The fashionable set who live in NAM
moth cottages have of recent years
tried golf, bicycling, driving, automo-
billing, yachting and other popular
sports, some of which have come and
gone, and others of which are either
new as yet or have had sufficient mer-
it from a fashionable standpoint to
live through successive seasons.
Some of the fashionables at New
port enjoy golf, some driving, many
yachting, few play tennis, but there
are two things which all seemingly
indulge in. One is dancing and the
other is bathing. A dip in the surf
was attractive to the old Knicker-
bockers of whom our so-called blue
bloods like to boast as ancestors.
Even the Puritans were not averse
to it, and it has been passed down
from generation to generation with
a never lessening favor.
To-day the sands and the sea waves
appeal stongly to everyone in the
fashionable Newport colony, and it
is quite as essential that the sum-
mer wardrobe should include one or

white checked goods. With this was
worn a vest and deep sailor collar,
and scalloped revers of white serge
handsomely embroidered with red
wash silk in a very dainty scroll de-
sign. The suit was buttoned down
the front from the bust line to the
foot of the skirt with large white
pearl buttons, and was fastened to
the waist line with white wash rib
bon. Two rows of white silk braid
were used to finish the skirt at the
small puffs over the arms. Altogeth-
er it was what i called distinctive
costume, and while as easy and serv-
iceable in the water was yet suffi-
ciently trimmed to make it becoming.
Another costume that was itself sug
gestive of the sea was worn by girl
who sat dangling her feet in the wa
ter from the steps of one of the long
piers. 1t was of blue and white
striped flannel. The square-necked
blouse was bordered with blu,
braid embroidered in white with
large scroll design. A pointed girdle
of the embroidered blue braid, and
a wide band of the same at the hem
of the skirt. 1t was not such an elab-
crate affair, but on that particular
girl was decidedly pretty.
There was another that was more
elaborate made of blue wash silk
and trimmed with white taffeta rib
bon and narrow guipure lace. This
had the blouse and skirt in one piece,
and both were buttoned down the
front with carved white pearl buttons.
The blouse was made with deep sailor
collar and square revers finished at
the edge with narrow guipure lace
and two rows of white ribbon. A

WASHINGTON'S PAPOOSE WAIF
Indinn Child Found by the Great Gem
ernl Became Mrs. Washing
tons Attendant.

When the retreat after BraJdock's
defeat began Washington found coca.
sion to use his theodolite and
dropped an important screw. After
the troops left the camping-ground
he turned back to find the missing
piece. Searching among the dead
leaves, he heard childs cry. and
soon after found a child some months
old, strapped, Indian fashion, to a
board. In haste to overtake his men,
he hung it at his saddle bow and was
soon able to give it to a suffers wife,
with orders to carry it to Mount Ver-
non, and when Mrs. Washington
reached Mount Vernon in 1859 a very
beautiful girl of seven or eight years
awaited her. She was called "Cass-
andra," and her granddaughter told
me that Washington himself named
her in consequence of something that
occurred when he found her. 1t is
impossible to discover what this
might have been, if it were not the
fulfillment of his own Cassandra-like
prophecies in regard to Braddock's
defeat, says Mrs. Caroline II. Dali. in
the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
The child grew up as an attendant
on Mrs. Washington, and was taught
to read and write, to embroider and
do dainty cooking, and generally sat
in her room or stood behind her
chair at meals. At the time of Wash
ington's death she assisted in pre-
pairing him for the grave, and herself
attended to his nair and cut off from
beneath the ribbon the curling lock,
a part of which now have. There
came to the funeral certain Eng
lishman named Thomas Smith, Of
King George county, in Virginia. He
was man of wealth, and had mar
ried for his first wife niece of Mar
tina Washington. She had died and
left him without children, and he was
captivated by the beauty of the In.
dian woman. Parson Addison, of the
eastern shore, married them some
time In the year 1900.

DAINTY MODELS OF BATHING COSTUMES
AT NEWPORT.

more novelties in the way of bath
lawn party gowns.
While it is a somewhat harder mat
ter to secure the much desired indi-
viduality in bathing costumes than
in other forms of seasonable dress
it is less sought after. The list of
serviceable materials is the first hand
leap to individuality, and to this is
added the necessary simplicity of the
garment, if it is to be worn with
comfort in the water. OF course the
funny man on the newspapers would
have us believe that the summer girl
desires bathing costume merely to
add picturesqueness and attractive
ness to her beach postures; yet they
must answer for more than that. The
summer girl loves the sand, but she
loves the sea waves as well, and while
she greatly admires striking individ-
uality in her bathing costumes it
must be an individuality that is suit
ed to the water, and which will give
her perfect freedom of limb and body
in swimming. o.
While there is a decided individual
ity offered in the limited number of
suitable mateials, there is an added
effort to secure the desired individual
ity in the way of dainty and service
able trimmings. True the fluffy airi-
ness of summer gowns cannot be in.
troduced upon the bathing costumes,
but there are pretty effects in stitch
ing, in dainty appliques, in bands of
self or contrasting materials that un-
der the hand of ingenious designers
may be worked into countless forms
of serviceable elaboration, and these
have been utilized to the fullest ex-
tent, and with the desired effect.
1t is by the use of these compara-
lively simple trimmings that the
bathing costumes of the present sea-
son, as we see them on the sands at
Newport, have been made historical
in the realm of fashion. 1t has been
my fortune to study modes and fash
ions for several years, apd | can truth
fully say that newer has there been
Newport season of which / remem-
ber that has been productive of SO

Ing costumes as the present one. 1t
has been a season in which the craze
for individuality in everything a
craze borrowed from Paris = has
reigned supreme, and, in way, this
craze has been shown quite as sue
cessfully in the bathing costumes as
in the more elaborate gowns for
other purposes.
