Here is \ brand-new story Of her

charities connected with England's
merchant marine. She is further cred
tied with having Influenced her hus-

MA. LACE OF GOOD TEMPER.
Mrs. Harriet Prescott SpOfTOrd Says
That Availability Is the Secret of
) Welded Happiness.
By HARRIET P. sPOFFORD.

If it were necessary to give an opin-
ion as to what is the first and chief
constituent Of a happy marriage one
might hesitate for a moment over the
Thought of many almost indispensable
virtues, and daily over that of abso-
lutte trustfulness on both sides, but one,
if thinking. and weighing deliberately,
would decide presently that the real
requisite for happiness in marriage is
good nature. Not that tempest once
in a great while may not be worth
while to clear the air and to show how
good the other is, but in the long,
round year the sunshine and fair
weather is the best.
What will you not pardon to a sun
ny-faced rogue? A man may commit
countless peccadilloes, a thousand Of
fences against good taste, even be
guilty of sins, but an unfailing sweet
ness of disposition will win forgiveness
for them all. A woman may be ex-
travagant, a poor housekeeper, even
slatternly, or a provoker of scandal,
but there is no disruption in the house
hold of which she is mistress as long
as with a smile she acknowledges her
fault, though her sin is ever before US.
a pair of dimples has saved many a
little scamp from a whipping; they are
just as useful when the scamp is older
and the dimples are slipping into wrin-
kles. For the dimple is not only evil
dence of the smile itself but it stimu-
lates the smiles of others.
Who can rebuke too sharply or too
frequently when reproach is always re-
ceived without retort, without affront?
Who is not made to feel upon the spot
that good nature is better than any
impeccability?
We have, most of us. seen exquisite
housekeepers who all but follow the
the intruder about with broom. who
are ready to dust the chair you rise
from, require overshoes to be left out
side the door, who, II you take a book
from one room and lay it down, carry
1t back before your eyes; who make
more circumstance of broken china
than of broken bones. And most Of
us prefer for companion the home
body who makes no fuss about any
thing, but who is tender and caressing
and Gay and consoling and sympathet-
ic and always sweet tempered, al
though there be fluff on her floors. and
hicks on her dishes, and no meal ready
at It's appointed hour. And most OF
us, again, rather than with the petu-
liant and fault-hnding man. or with the
stern ana sour and solemn incarnation
OF all the virtues, or with the lofty and
superior soul, without whose wisdom
and learning the world could not re-
voive, would choose companionshiD

New York, June 2O.-This is the sea-
son when feminine thoughts turn
yearningly to the coolest fabrics and
most breeze-inviting garments that can
be included in the summer wardrobe.
This is the month when the airy, fairy,
the almost imponderable, the daintily
graceful negligee is every womans
hearts desire. and frankly it may be
confessed that the modern toilette de
repos, as the French woman prettily
expresses our idea of a lounging gown,
has attained a measure of artistic
charm that we never believed it cap
able of possessing. OF Chinese, Indian,
or French silk, of mercerized lawn, of
silky Manila gauze and of silk striped
madras. the happiest examples of tidy
ease in flowing drapery are so far TO
be found. In the various shops where
they sell the cool costumes they go by
the name of "siesta suits" hammock
gowns" mapping robes" 'negligees"
and breakfast dresses"

now we wear it in colors and in COM
binations. Navy blue and parrot green
tulle, twisted together and spraying
out in big variegated bow under the
chin or under the back hair, is con-
sidered a very smart device. Up to
date we have not seen over many dark
blue gowns trimmed with parrot, moss,
emerald or opaline green silk, but fore
warned is forearmed, and this combi-
nation is sure to have a wholesale
popularity when autumn shopping be-
comes necessary. This idea is signified
as the grand chic in Paris, and some
notion of how 1t is carried out is shown
in the sketch of a copy from a Partisan
model. This is summer frock of navy
blue nuns yelling, the skirt arranged
in three shaped founces and a front
panel. Each flounce Is bordered With

ed swimming gown strikes envy to
the hearts of all the feminine behold
ers. The pongee referred to is not the
real Oriental silk. but a clever Ameri-
can adaptation and combination of
mohair and silk for seagoing uses.
How well the combination in tan re-
suits is shown in a sketch of a bath
ing suit made up with trimming of
white mohair decorated with dark
brown embroidered rings. The mo-
hair forms the collar belt and cuff
finhs for the waist, and the blouse,
though buttoned firmly under it's fly
front is further decorated by adjust
ing straps Of dark brown wool braid.
Dark brown hose and a hat of white
stitched linen, despatched with little
embroidered brown spots, makes up
the quite perfect suit.
The companion to this is an extreme
ly coarse. woolly yelling in dark blue,
very deeply accordion pleated from
plain, bright blue flannel that
matches the belt, and though
the fancy for such suits is of
extremely modern origin, it promises
to grow with the summer. The heavy
yelling holds little water, and while II
possesses all the virtues of flannel, it
has none of the weight of that worthy
material. The charm of the accordion
pleat needs no dilation to the very thin
woman, who will recognize in it a boon
and a blessing, and these bathing
gowns are so firmly pleated that no
amount of wetting and drying injuries
the flexity of each crease.
Pelican POuched sleeves.
So far as the season has progressed
it is safe to say that sleeves are big
ger than ever before, taking the arm
snugly from shoulder to elbow
and thence expanding like the
pouch of a pelican, and always on the
outside of the arm. Another conclu-
sion to be drawn has reference to the
tulle neck bow. In the winter and
early spring we wore it only in white;

delicate and more or less carved horn
that stick out two or three inches from
the bowed end of the prong. Some
women whose hair is thin and whose
heads are sensitive in summer find it
a genuine comfort to use the true
Geisha pins that are nothing more
than long, white or colored bone knit
ting needles, with ends carved in lace
like open work. Two such pins, prop
erly adjusted, will hold up a suit of
hair in a cool, coquettish knot that to
most faces is distinctly becoming.
