lHOT DAY. A GOOD BOOK, A NICE HAMMOCK DAY COMPLETE.

The French knot in embroidery is
en- regle and one Of the most effectine
trimmings seen. 1t is displayed to
greatest advantage on collars and bands
used on silks gowns. The embroideries
this season are SO delicate and beauti-
full that the gowns OF sheer materials
are daintier than ever.
A novelty to be worn with shirt
waists is the kid necktie. Then to
match this are cunning little kid pock-
cts which hang on the belt and kid
stocks consisting of n high, straight
baud fastened with buckle. Kid is
in fact An important factor in the
modes of summer.
A striking mode which WAS revived
especially for the coronation gaities in
London and which has become popular
in spite Of the postponed ceremonies is
the Reubens hat which is charming
and very ''seyant' as the French mill
iners on Fifth avenu say. 1t is a
change from the Gainsborough and
though the latter will never go ont of
fashion with certain types of beauty,
1t must be discarded temporarily, for
the Rubens is the only product of the
old masters that holds a place in the
modish wardrobe.
As compromise for the loss of the
Gainsborough, an ideal summer hat
is shown in pique. 1t is tall, with
fiarIng, indented brim, but instead of
any ornithological decoration, the
trimming is confined to chiffon veil
scattered with black polka dots.
In fashionable millinery, however,
the manoeuvering of long feathers
plays an important part and smart hats
seem to have fiatter and more down
ward tendency than ever. Many
women will hail the return of the
tilted hat, for it is exceedingly be-
coming to plain faces 1t is only the
possessor of regular features and other
charming advantages than can afford

eyes at the angle Madame Mode com
mands at present.
Green has the lead among the colors
just at the moment and it is charming
in the delicate, transparent fabrics
made over white, or silk and chiffon
of the same tint.
The pompadour sleeve, close fitting
to the elbow, where it is finished with
many little frills, is very popular for
fiowered muslin gowns. The little
waistband is a feature of many of the
long thin sleeves, and the fuller,
more pouchy and transparent the
sleeve, the narrower and tighter the
wristband is.
A little trick of the trade which
lends beautiful transparency to the
|'skin is to line sleeves of black net
with the finest of white tulle. This
gives the skin firm, marble like ap-
pearance that is positively classic.
The Eton effects of heavier gowns
have been replaced with an indepen-
dent ruffie which hangs unconfined
from the bustline to the upper edge
of the belt. much after the Eton out
line, but much fuller The furrle

years acted as pedagogue to this

done in his world? Had he realized
his life's ambition? Into many Of

how many of them gave thought to

She did not question me further
about it then, but, asking me to ex-
cuse her for moment, stepped over
the little plot of ground where her
dear ones lay, and plucked some of
the dead leaves from the flowers
that grew upon it. To my thinking
she was just what an honest English

CARE OF THE TEETH.
To Preserve and Beautify Them
Should Be the Aim of Every
Man, Woman and Child.

Everybody admires a good set of
teeth, and the owner of such is always
to be envied. An excellent cam
phorated tooth powder which will not
destroy the enamel of the teeth, and
yet will render them white, is made of
7 drs. of precipitated chalk, one-half
dr.. of powdered camphor and 1 dr.. of
powdered orris root.
1t is not sufficient to use only tooth
powder; liquid dentifrice is pleas
ant and has beneficial influence upon
the gums. To make one, take ozs. of
borax, quart of hot water and one
teaspoonful each of tincture myrrh
and spirits Of camphor. Dissolve the
borax in hot water, and when the wa
ter is cool add the other ingredients
and bottle them for use. A few drops
used in little water form delightful
wash.
1t is mistake to suppose that the
teeth of every person should be of the
same whiteness. The variation of
color is largely q constitutional re-
suit.
Yellow teeth, it is said, are usually
indicative of bodily vigor, and very
pearly white ones Of more fragile
constitution.
There is only one general rule to Of
fer respecting the care of the teeth,
and that is that they be kept immacu-
lately clean and in perfect health.
Their color then matters nothing, for
their condition will prove that they
are well attended to. Should the
gums be tender and spongy, the gen.
eral health, upon which the condition
| of the teeth so much depends, should
be made the subject of inquiry.
A healing and soothing tooth pow
| der is made Of precipitated chalk 1
c., Of powdered borax one-half o.,
of powdered myrrh one-fourth o.,
and the same quantity of powdered
Orris root-N. Y. Journal.

FACE OF GAS METER,

the face Of a gas meter. 1t will be
noticed that the hands Of alternate
dials move in the same direction.
The dial at the top registers frac-
lions of a cubic foot and is used for
test purposes only. The figures on
the right-hand dial represent hun
dreds of cubic feet and when the
hand has made one complete revolu-
ton a thousand cubic feet will have
passed through. Each thousand feet
will be checked on the lower dial IN
til 10000 in reached, when the hand
of the last dial moves one point. 1t
should be noted that the hands can
not be reset to zero and that, conse-
quently, each reading should be pre-
served until the next one is taken
and the former deducted from it.
The dotted lines represent the posi-
ton Of the hands at a previous read
ing of the meter, namely $500 cubic
feet. The hands now indicate 6,4OO
cubic feet. Minus $500 cubic feet
would give 1900 cubic feet as the
amount of gas consumed during the
quarter; at $3.50 per 1000 feet, your
bill should be $3.50.
A water meter is read in precisely
the same way but the registration is
more minute. The first dial is used
only for testing. The next registers
single feet, then tens, hundreds and
SO on. If, after deducting as shown
above, you find you have used 2,526
cubic feet of water during the year,
you must multiply this number by
.74s to find the number of gallons,
namely 1884 gallons. This amount
multiplied by the rate per thousand
gallons (unless you pay for water
by the faucet) will show the amount
of your water bill.-Ernest r. Lowe,

CHAPTER VII.

When l reached the charming little
Surrey village of Bishopstowe, I
could see that it bore out Kitwater's
description Of it. A prettier little
place could scarcely have been dis
covered, with it's tree-shaded high
road, it's cluster of matched cottages,
it's blacksmith's shop, rustic inn with
the signboard on high post before
the door, and, last but not least, the
quaint little church standing some
hundred yards back from the main
road, and approached from the lych-
gate by an avenue of lines.
Here" I said to myself, 'is a
place where a man might live to be
100, undisturbed by the rush and
hustle of the great world"
That was my feeling then, but
since I have come to know it better,
and have been permitted an oppor-
tunity of seeing for myself some
thing of the inner life of the hamlet,
I have discovered that it is only the
life of a great city, on small scale.
There is the same keen competition
in trade, with the same jealousies
and chickering's. However, on this
peaceful Sunday morning it struck
me as being delightful. There was
an old-world quiet about it that was
vastly soothing. The rocks cawed
lazily in the elms before the church
as if they knew it were Sunday morn
ing and day of rest. A dog lay ex-
tended in the middle of the road,
basking in the sunshine, a thing
which he would not have dared to do
on weekday. Even the little
stream that runs under the old stone
bridge, which marks the center OF
the village, and then winds it's tor
tuous course round the churchyard,
through the Squire's park, and then
down the valley on it's way to the
sea, seemed to flow somewhat more
slowly than was it's wont.
Feeling just in the humor for lit
tie moralizing, I opened the lych>
gate and entered the churchyard
The congregation were singing the
last hymn, the Old Hundredth, if
| remember rightly, and the sound OF
their united voices fitted perfectly
into the whole scheme, giving it the
one touch that was lacking. AS
strolled along I glanced at the in
scriptions on the various tomb
stones, and endeavored to derive
from them some notion of the lives
and characters of those whose mem
cries they perpetuated.

mus Cunning, 81 years schoolmaster

THE MAN WHO WAS ROBBED.
A Fable with a Moral That VIII BE
Very Generally Conceded
With.

A stranger in a strange land once
fell in with thieves, who found him on
a lonely road, beat him, robbed him,
and then tied him to tree.
After a long wait another traveller
came by, and the stranger, in weak
voice, pleaded for help, says Judge.
He told the story of his wrongs, anc
the traveller said: "How sad!"
81 cried out, but my voice is not
strong, and my cries were Of no avail,
said the victim.
"How unfortunate!" said the trav-
eler.
"And the robbers tied me so fast
am utterly helpless"
"How Interestingly"
Interesting? Do you think It in
teresting to have been beaten and
robbed? Why, the thieves took all my
money except small sum in my inside
pocket"
"How careless!' commented the
traveller.
Then, having satisfied himself that
the strangers story was true, that he
was really tied securely, that his voice
was weak, and that there was small
sum in an inside pocket, he secured
the small sum and went on his way.
Moral-Hard-luck stories are seldom
successful.

creations in this direction is to be
found in her magnificent country
home on Long Island, comprising a
mansion and 700 acres of land, which
was presented to her by her father
in-law, John w. Mackay. In this
house Mr.. Mackay has had construct
ed the most wonderful bath that has
ever been seen in America. 1t was
brought over from Italy and is cut
from solid block Of marble, which
cost something like $4,000. The pool
is sunk in the floor and five broad
marble steps lead down to it. The
water spouts from the mouths of ex-
quisitely carved marble dolphins. An
other feature of the bathroom is
great fireplace built into the side
wall of the room. Each of the other
25 bathrooms in the house has a lux
urious Pompeiian bath let down in
the marble floor in the same way.
1t was Mrs. Mackay's own idea that
each of her 80 servants should have
a separate room. The rooms are
small, but are sunshiny and comfort
able.
Although spending fabulous sums
every year upon gowns and the graf
ifcation of literary whims regarding
fads, Mrs. Mackay is by no means
neglectful of the more serious prob
lens of life, says the Chicago Tr1b-
une. She gives fully as much to
charity as she spends for her own
pleasure, and makes it a rule never
to buy herself bit of fnery with
out giving the equivalent to some de-
serving person Or institution. Mrs.
Mackay is a new type of the fashion
able woman, and she has attracted
no end of attention in the east-in
fact, throughout the United States.
People stare at her so much when
she drives out in New York that she
wears a veil covered with heavy lace
founces that completely hides her
features like mask. She is Beauty
with dark hair, dark eyes, and an ex-
quisite figure. Her gowns are the
best that can be bought. Jewelry is
her pet fad, and she has one of the
finest collections of jewels in Amer
lea. One ring is Hindu curio, which
and is of old yellow Chinese gold set
with rare rubies, diamonds and en-
eralds. Among her furs is single
coat of sealskins and sables which
cost $1,000.
Mrs. Mackay is justly reputed to be
the most original woman in New
York society. She furnishes the sur
prises, fashions and fads for the
young members of Gotham's smart
set, and the distinction of having in
augurated baby parties in this coun-
try belongs to her. She is the mis-
tress of one of the most beautiful
country homes in America, and yet
her friends say she has not been
spoiled by all this lavishness. She
always has time to be pleasant to
everyone, and, although she enter
tains constantly, she never neglects
her little daughter for society.
Stationery is one of Mrs. Mackay's
many fads. It is all in violet, and, be-
cause she thinks red two-cent
stamp is inharmonious on violet en-
velope, she uses the three-cent stamp
instead.

MRS. CLARENCE MACKAY.
New York Society Leader Who II
Called the Most Extravagant
Woman in america


Mrs. Clarence Mackay, the dashing
leader of New York society, with
fortune of almost $40 100000 at her
command, is credited with being the
most extravagant young matron in
America. She spends annually more
than $4,000 on her wardrobe, and
this does not include her lavish ex-
penuitures for jewelry, which is her
pet fad. With an assured Christmas
present every year of $4,000 for pin
money and regular allowances on an
equally liberal basis, she is easily in
position to lead the younger set of
women in New York in the matter of
extravaganza.
Mrs. Mackay leans perceptibly to-
ward fads, and one of her latest

MAKING THE WEDDING GRAB.

When l was weeping,
In my pain l said:
Il weary Of my life-would were dead
In silence sleeping,
Where troubles are no more. nor cares nor
tears,
Nor visionary hopes, nor fears
Like dark-night shadows all around us
creeping
Would | were dead!'
Were death but sleep,
Small harm to wish into the grave to creep,
And no more weep;
But were death life,
Far truer life than that men live on earth;
Were death but birth
To lite where cares, and tears, and TOLL and
strife
No longer are,
But which the Just alone
With other Just may share
Could | still dare,
Whose days SO little justice yet have
shown,
To seek an entrance through deaths golden
gate?
Nay, Rather for long season let me wait,
And with embroidery of love and prayer,
And holy deeds, and suffering, prepare
The wedding garment for the wedding
feast,
That be not the lowest or the least
In that great throng.
Nor shamed the Royal Bridegrooms guests
to greet
Whose voices sweet
Catch up the angelic song
And Holy, Holy, Holy, without end repeat.

His tone was so rude and his man
ner SO aggressive, that his niece was
about to protest. I made sign to
her, however, not to do so.
ST don't think you need be afraid,
Mr.. Kitwater," I said more soothing
ly than 1 felt. "My man is very
clever and reliable fellow. and you
may be sure that, having once set
eyes on Mr.. Hayle, he will not lose

Immediately let you know the result

"It will suit me when I get hold of

Then, imagining. perhaps, that he
had gone too far, he began to fawn
upon me, and what was worse
praised my methods of calculating a
mystery. I cannot say which I dis
liked the more. Indeed, had it not
been that I had promised Miss Kit

did not want to disappoint her, I
believe I should have abandoned it
there and then, out of sheer disgust.

that we should adjourn to the house,
as it was nearly lunch-time. We did
so, and I was shown to a pretty bed
room to wash my hands. It was O

country, smelling of lavender, and,
after London, as fresh as glimpse
of new life. I looked about me,
took in the cleanliness of everything,
and contrasted it with my own dingy
apartments at Rickford's hotel,
where the view from the window was
not of meadows and breezy uplands,
but Of red roofs, cbimney-pots, and
constantly revolving cowls. I could
picture the view from this window in
the early morning, with the dew
upon the grass, and the blackbirds
whistling in the shtubbery. I am not

juncture I stood before the looking
glass and surveyed myself. For the
