Mrs. Stanley's Charm.

One of the many houses in London at
which Americans arc sure of a cordial
welcome is that Of Lady Stanley, the
wife of Sir Henry, the explorer.
AS Dorothy Tenant, the magnetism
and brilliancy of Lady Stanley was
acknowledged. With artistic and literary
people, as we'll as those fashionable, she
held her own, as naturally would tho
talented daughter of a more than usually
talented mother.
1t is extraordinary that she can find
time to do as much reading and yet not
neglect her home or social duties. About
the latter no one is more punctilious
Happy for the women housekeeping in
is im America. y
=, Perhaps this is because there is rot
the same necessity ITO stint themselves
in the matter of servants. One at least
is stumbled into at every turning. On
Sunday afternoons for instance, when
one drives up to the Stanleys' house in
Richmond terrace, and here be it un-
derstood that it is not in any way. Il
pretentious mansion, there is standing
outside man servant to help one out, ef:
bell; - ~
The door is then opened by another,
who passes the cards to third man,
who precedes one up the stairs and indi.
Gates the location of the drawing-room.
Here another comes forward, takes the
card and announces to Lady Stanley the
name Of the visitor. -1r;
Should the individual be q stranger
with letter of introduction. he would
be shown into the small reception-ro
while the letter is being read. Lady
Stanley would then either go herself,
If disengaged from other guests, and
fetch him into the drawing-room or else
she would signify to the man servant
on the spot that the visitor was to be
shown into her presence. Such a retinup
mean ruination to any i'll America but
the most wealthy, while in England it is
but the customary requirement for 4
simple day at home lasting through the
whole season ~ - 1870

Der. seeds and bones compose the chief
discoveries made so far. The results OF
these researches have a special value. in
that they have determined the archi-
tectural construction Of the pile dwell
ings with an accuracy which has seldom
been attainable.
One of the most valuable discoveries is
a boat FIVE meters long, followed out of
the trunk Of an oak. This was found
lying nine meters below the platform of
a pile dwelling, and must have lain there
nearly three thousand years. The work
of digging out this unique object, which
can be matched in no museum of Eu-
rope. took six days, and was so success
fully carried out that the boat was
brought Mninjured to the Saravejo mu-
scum. The pile dwellings of Dolina be-
long to two different periods and were
in existence during the bronze and iron
ages throughout the first millennium be-

The Newest Wraps.

~ natty little garment introduced this
season and seen in the shops is the short
silk wrap sometimes called the "coffce
coat" 1t is made somewhat Oh the
lines Of the dinner coat designed by Mrs.
Roosevelt, with the difference that it is
much shorter. 1t falls from the Shout
ders III a full founce effect and just es-
capcs the waist line. The flare sleeves
are extremely full and end at the wrist.
A deep round collar of Irish crochet
gives Il light and pretty finish to the
neck and shoulders. These little coats
are slipped on over full evening dress
when the wearer is at dinner.
A stunning wrap for afternoon or
evening wear is termed LA Pompa-
dour." This handsome garment envcl-
ops the entire figure and is worked ont
effectively in silk. One fetching model
is in blue China silk, with cream lace
trimming extending down it's entire
length at each side of the opening in
and the collar is formed of many ruff
fles of silk, with long ends Of lace.
The ''Du Barry: coat is full-lensth
wrap, modelled on generous flowing lines
1t is intended either for afternoon or
evening wear, and, like LA Pompa-
dour," envelops the figure from head to
dc sole, with facing and lining of black
satin. The immense collar reaches the
proportions Of shoulder cape. and is
edged with rulings Of black chiffon and
silk lace applique. Long ends Of chiffon
and lace extend from the throat nearly
to the feet. The effect of the garment
designed all in black it is Of unusually
distinguished appearance.-New York

Aud now another royal parsonage is
preparing to visit the United States, the
beautiful and accomplished Dowagcr

which her famous countryman discov-
cred, and that it has undergone Il re-
markable development since his time.

For the fever OF the mind. '-. --

In thy art that Is SO eager,
In thy outflow never meager
In thy sparkling phantasy,
In thy pale fOam's chastity. -.
In thy ceaseless, silver singing.
In thy bright and buoyant spriDging,

How the trusting nature reaches

And to a dfviner duty

a WORD TO The GREAT ARMY
OF SUMMER TOILERS.
If You are Not as Robust, Wig
orous, and Happy as Others
in the Month Of August
Pdine'S Celery
Compound
Will Give You Health, Full Enef-
gy, and Happiness.

Many men toiling in offices, stores,
and workshops during this hot sum-
mer weather, and women weighted
with the work and cares Of home, are
critically near the breaking down
point. The symptoms Of coming sick
ness and disease are manifested in
sleeplessness, nervousness, tired feel
ings, languidness, irritability, fail.
ing appetite, and poor blood circula-
ton.
Paine's Celery Compound is pre-
cious boon to the ailing, sick and run
down in this August weather. A bot
tie or two used at once will quickly
bestow the needed strength to battle
against the weakening and enervating
effects of the oppressive heat, and will
enable men and women to go through
the necessary routine of daily toll
with heart, soul, and energy. Paine's
Celery Compound is specially distin-
guished for its ability to build up run
down systems in hot weather.
