summary style. 1t is sufficiently removed
from the main Exposition buildings to be
restful retreat to those tired of sight
seeing, yet from windows, doorways and
verandas one may watch the visitors on
the grounds or gliding along the beauti-
full waterways
No exhibits are to be placed in the
Woman's building, which is to be used
for headquarters for the honorary and
Buffalo members of the woman's board,
for entertainments and conventions.
Getting away entirely from the idea
of making a distinction regarding sex in
the Pan-American exhibits, the work of
women will be shown with that Of men,
and the exhibits will be judged on their
merits alone.
This is progressive plan, and one
that cannot fail to commend itself TO the
judgment of the thoughtful.
1t is another example of the modern
spirit shown in this, the first exposition
of the Twentieth century, in which will
be demonstrated the unity of the New

Broad, roomy verandas surround the
house, and all about the building tall
flag poles are set, so the Pan-American
colors will float about the Woman's
building, the stars and stripes occupying
the place of honor, symbol of a nations
freedom.
The interior of the building is very ar
tistic. A large, airy hall with a roomy
fireplace first attracts the visitor. A
good-sized dining-room and several tea
rooms can be used for small entertain
ments. A large apartment on the ground
floor wiz be occupied as reading and
magazine room, and will occasionally be
set aside for small conventions of women.
1t will also be used for entertainments.
The offices of the women's board are on
the ground floor of the building Up
stairs are attractive resting rooms and
dressing rooms. also a large apartment
facing the Amherst gate, which can be
used for women's conventions and con-
crosses and for entertainments.

One of the attractive buildings Oh the

tasteful, artistic structure to be occupied
by the board Of women managers.
The house was formerly the home of
the Country club, and, as the clubs prop

the site selected for the Exposition, house

the clubhouse would be we'll adapted for

FIANCE TOO GLOSSY"
Miss Pau1ding's Reason for Breaking
Her Engagement to Lieut. Edie.

Washington, D. c., March 2.-It is
stated that Senator Depew's niece, Miss
Paulding, broke her engagement with
Lieut.. Edie of the navy for no other rea-
son than that she considered him too
"bossy." He assumed too much as a
fance and was too eager to dictate the
proper way to manage the Depew house
hold. There was no quarrel. Miss Pauld-
ing, who is several years the lieutenant's
senior simply told Ede she was not
ready to be commanded. Now there is
no gayer social resort in the capital than
Corcoran house. which is filled with
guests at every entertainment and where

happy hostess, but where Lieut.. Edie

THE VOICE OF THE MouNTH1N.

Low at my feet is stretched the lordly vale;
Across my realm the high wild stars are
led:
My garment is the light, the darkness
dread:
l wrap me round with rain and snow and
hail.
Round me and round the eagles nest and
sail;
Between my knees the thunders make
their bed;
/ lap the storm-winds, and their young
are bred.
Their young that play, and chafe my rocky
mail.
Who cometh up to me, he shall have pow
er, -t+t
The prophets power, the old lawgiver's
might,
Ay, he shall have the tablet in his
hand,
He shall not fail. but in the evil hour
And good, uplifted, clothed upon with
light, go
His neck unbowed, as 1 stand shall he
stand.

Hints About Hats.

Hats grow more beautiful with the adj
vance of spring. and the floral garnitures
are dreams of beauty. Roses, big and
beautiful, soft and creamy, rich and red,
pink, black, white, yellow, green, blue
every kind of rose that ever was or
could be, and a great many that never
were and never could be. Then there
are little roses, tiny pink ones, such as
our grandmothers called button roses, all
in dear little garlands to lay on the brim
of a fiat crowned hat. There are roses
of silk, velvet and chiffon, and many
mysterious materials known only to MILL
nerS.
But roses are not the only trimming on
the hat There are poppies, big and
burning red, soft petaled and dropping
with Fascinating grace, violets, orchids
and forget-me-nots--all these are part OF
the spring hat trimming. And leaves
without end. Leaves of green and brown,
and purple, pink and red-frosty leaves,
leaves touched with diamond dewdrops.
leaves curling at the edges, natural as
can be. These are laid on the edge of
the hat brim, peeping over to nestle next
my lady's hair or catch a glimpse Of her
eyes.
a popular form of fiat hat for spring is
the ruftled tulle, Which has dear little
fiat frillS all over it. The crown is not
raised, but in front is lifted off the face
by few flowers or soft satin chouX. A
light blue tulle is encircled with a wreath
of dainty blue forgetme-nots.
The Spanish turban is worn almost as
much as ever. In black tulle it is always
effective, stylish and beautiful. One seen
the other day was trimmed with a single
large plnkish-yellow rose in front, resting
on the hair, while just above was a large
black rose with yellow center.
Black and white tulle forms a chic and
stylish hat. The brim is broad and COM
posed Of alternate ruffles of the black and
white tulle. crisply pleated. The crown
is made up the same way, but with small
er ruff1es. Around the brim is a wide
band Of soft crushed white satin. In the
back where the brim turns up is a big
bunch of white violets.
A fiat tulle hat in delicate ecru is
trimmed in front with a single big pink
poppy. A pink tulle has a creamy yellow
rose for its sole adornment, and black
one is decorated with an impossible but
lovely blue rose.
Some Of the most elaborate spring hats
are composed entirely Of small leaves,
which overlap each other and are put on
a foundation Of tulle. These leaves vary
in shade, but the green, frosty ones are
prettlest set on a frame of pink tulle with
big pink rose in frOnt.-New York Mail

Sureptttfous TrafficEing in Horse

London, Aug. 24.-Scandalous revela-

horse flesh as human food are coming
to light. The magistrates in the courts
of the East end already have convict

Imprisonment several butchers who
have been caught engaged in this de-
cepticn. DR.. G. p. Bate, health officer
at Bethnal Green, said yesterday that
he had obtained large quantity of
additional evidence and would imme-
diately institute prosecutions.
"The sale of horse flesh," he said,
concealed from the officers in the
Easements of. shops or made into
sausages, has become hideous scan

comes from worn cut, diseased ami

Juvenile courts and the system of
probation for young offenders have
proved so successful in Eastern cities,
especially in Boston, that much good
was expected from the introduction of
the plan in Chicago. The results are
disappointing. The fundamental idea
Of the system is that for first offense
q young lawbreaker shall be placed on
probation, during the term Of which he

sons. In Chicago at least twenty-five
probation officers are needed. The city
appointed only five, each Of whom has

A pleasant accompaniment OF the
hot weather this summer is the in
creasing tendency on the part Of city
teamsters to provide their horses with
head coverings. The really fashiona-
bic thing in equine millinery is a
walking-hat Of straw, with high
crown and holes in the brim through
which the horses ears protrude. Some
of the teamsters who have feminine
friends and sense of humor have
provided their animals with trimmed
hats, generously decorated with chif-
fon, bright-colored ribbons or gaudy
quill. The hats themselves are a con-
siderable protection against the sun,
and when, as is usual. wet sponge
Is placed in the crown, the horse can
