cross lines in large squares and en-

Travelling dust coats of black taffeta
have a place in the fashionable sum-
mer outfit. The prettiest are tucked
nearly all over, but the tucks add
weight and warmth. neither of which
is desirable.
Separate skirts of silk are in favor
once more. with black taffeta in the
ascendant. For the summer, however,
the revived chameleon tinted silk will
be largely used. with velvet ribbon
and lace rufIles for trimming.
Summer velvets show metallic eff

some women fail in business for these
reasons-want of training, which is
another name for lack of experience,
and deficient education. If insufficient
experience prevents a girl from being
accepted as clerk or nursery govern
ess, how much more likely it is to pre-
vent a woman from holding her own
when she attempts in the face of COM
mercial competition to etablish any
kind of business for herself. To mas
ter a business properly one should
begin at the bottom and work upward.
1t is a fatal mistake to try to learn a
business from the top, and those who
have committed the blunder by con-
shutting themselves employers and
mistresses of large enterprises have
often fallen to the bottom more abrupt

to fear. Indeed, ] consider that in

enterprises she has now an especially

Summer Girls Footwear.

The summer girl will wear shoes off
the black. almost exclusively. and her
favorite. color will be the bright shades
of tan. There is something material
and suggestive of the golden slippers
of song fame in light shoe. While in
a black shoe there is nothing particu-
larly attractive. unless it be in the
shape, the neatness, the size and the
manner in wearing. Women with I'M
attractive feet can. sometimes. put on
a tan shoe with very good results.
The summer girl Of 1901 will cling
to black stockings. but they will be
stockings that will be trimmed. They
are clocking the stockings again and
are running the clocks very high and
finishing them with an embroidered
flower. A straight clocking, running
from the ankle up above the calf, say
in a plain yellow with the clock not
over three threads wide, is finished
with an embroidered daisy. The daisy
must be so high up that there will be
no danger of its showing when the
skirt is lifted.
The colored stocking is very pretty,
but the summer girl will lay it aside
for house wear.

A new fashion in wedding dresses
seems likely TO become popular, writes
Lady Violet Greyville in the London
Graphic. The Duchess OF Westminster
wore an empire marriage gown of fine
white net embroidered with silver over
soft white silk. and a lace veil, and
the effect was lovely if somewhat
theatrical. Nothing in reality suits a
bride better than the old-fashioned
satin, lace and orange blossoms and
the soft tulle veil. Lady Beatrice But
Ter was of this opinion, and she pre-
ferred ivory-white satin. trimmed with
chiffon. Brussels lace, and a garniture
of white violets. Her veil was also
of lace, but she carried no bouquet.
The French 'mariee' is invariably
simply dressed. however, high her
rank in society NAV be- Nine. Des-
chanel, the beautiful young wife of
the president of the French chamber,
was married recently in a plain dress

Faster Than the Wind.

There are some parodoXes in physics
that never grow old. BY the time one
generation gets through worrying over
them another generation is ready to
take them up, and SO the interest they
excite is perpetual, and the problems
themselves are always new.
One of these problems is contained
in the statement that sailing vessel
can sail faster than the wind that
drives it. If it be moving directly be-
fore the wind it cannot, from the very
nature of the case, have greater
speed than the wind itself; as matter
of fact, it will move more slowly than
the wind on account OF the resistance
offered by the water. Eut if it move
in a direction few points off the di-
rection of the wind it will move more
rapidly than the latter
A very simple illustration will make
the matter clear. Place ball at one
side of a billiard table. and, with a
cue held lengthwise, push the ball
across to the other side, keeping the
cue in contact with the ball all the
time. Let the cue represent the wind,
and the ball represent the vessel. Now,
it is evident that the ball will not
move more rapidly than the cue; on
the contrary, they will move at exact
ly the same speed. But d vessel sail
ing directly before the wind would not
move quite so fast as the wind, be-
cause the resistance CT the water would
retard it.
Now, imagine groove cut diagonal
ly across the table from the near left
hand corner to the far right hand cor
ner. Place the ball in the left hand
end of the groove and against it place
the cue, held lengthwise, and push it
across the table as before. The ball
will travel along the grove and along
the cue at the same time, and will
reach the right hand end Of the groove
across the table-in exactly the time
that it takes the cue to move across.
But as the ball travels much farther in
going diagonally across the table than
the cue does in going straight across,
and as they reach the other side in the
same time, it is evident that the ball
travels faster than the cue does. In
the same way vessel, moving at an
angle with the wind, sails faster than
the wind that impels it.--Philadelphia

A teacher who spent her vacation
abroad tells the following story:
One of her fellow passengers on the
steamship that brought her home was
a little boy about 10 years old. AS the
steamship approached New York the
child grew exultantly happy and every
little while he would say: We're al
most home now" He talked of the
various objects they passed as though
he were really quite at home. Finally
the teacher said: DO yGu live in New
York;"

pleased the Columbus woman that she
asked him about his travels, and
learned why he was so gled to see
America. He had been in Europe over
six months, a part or which time had
been spent in school in Sweden. He
had seen much that was interesting in
the different European countries, but
was as pleased as he could possibly be
on once more seeing his native land

food would be tempting. Two days af-
terward the secret of the meal would
be revealed
The invitation was accepted and the
pair sat down to table the following
afternoon. They were served by onel
armed soldier servant named Joseph,
who had taken part in the cooking Of
the repast. and who placed successive
dishes before them with broad grin
of pride and satisfaction. First came
a stew. tasting strongly of onions, a
vegetable that had grown so scarce as
to be procured only by the rich The
next course was a delicious dish OF
macaroni, cooked in butter and fit for
a prince. Then there was fine roast
rabbit, brown and crisp, and finally a
dozen larks, almost floating in rich
sauce. When the dinner was over the
Englishman declared that he had never
eaten better food, and that he did not
particularly care what might have
gone into its composition.
But two days after, true to his word,
the secrets of his kitchen. The stew
had been made Of rats which Joseph
had caught around the Notifications.
The butter used in cooking the various
dishes was nothing better than horse
marrow, extracted from bones which
the horse butchers were willing to give
away. Joseph knew method of pre-
pairing it with saffron that made de-
licious butterine. The roast rabbit
was a large tomcat which the officer
had prepared after formula OF his
own, while the dish of larks was COM
posed of mice which Joseph's cousin
had very generously trapped for him
in large warehouse in which he was
employed. Only the onions and mada-
roni had been genuine, being grand
pieces obtained for the English guest
at a shop where a small stock still re-
manned.

Picnic Day.

Are you coming to the picnic
In the wilds so fair and gay,
Eating, drinking, sleeping, thinking
Of the joys of picnic Gay?
Are you coming to the picnic
In the dreamy woods to stay,
Where we spend the fine in pleasure
On that blessed picnic day?
Are you coming to the picnic,
Coming where the robins sing,
Hearing birds and children's voices
Through the woods so sweetly ring!
Soon our picnic days are ever,
Soon our childish sports are Ger,
And the ones we met so often
Are the ones we meet no more.

Queer Meals in War Time.

When the Germans besicGad Paris in
1870 they did it so thoroughly that the
inhabitants of that city were soon hard
pressed for food. Every one planted
little gardens in window boxes, quite
using up the sediments stocks in the
effort to raise lettuce, radishes and as
paragus, after a plan proposed by
learned member of the academy, while
others tried to live on gelatin extract
ed from bones-another academician
scheme, which reduced some expert
mentors to bones without a trace of
gelatin in them. Toward the middle
of the siege-which lasted five months
horses. dogs, cats, canary birds and
pet parrots were sold for food and the
lions, tigers, elephants and kangaroos
from The rublic gardens brought hig!
prices at the butcher shops.
One night when even the rich had
been reduced to this sort of fare, there
was a dispute between al Englishman
and a French army officer. The for
mer maintained that nothing could be
made to take the place of good, whole
some beef. pork and mutton, while the
latter held that all things could be
made savory and nourishing in the
hands of master cook-that he him
self knew enough of cooking to make a
dinner of anything that came to his
saucepans. AS a test he offered to
serve a dinner for the Englishman,
