HOW he PROPOSED

He wished to propose to the girl OF
his choice, but he was nervous. First
he thought of the old romantic style:
by my halidom, fair one, would
fain take thee for my bride. Say thou
wilt be mine, and ere the sun gllds the
turrets OF yonder castle the friar shall
unite us in holy bonds.
In the face of the prevalent rage for
dramas of the olden style, this form
seemed satisfactory. Being an emf
nently modern young man, however.
he thought again and determined to
test the theatrical mode.
But just at that moment the fair
Mary trlpped into the room, and he
blurted out:
"Er-Mary--er-wil you-er-well
But Mary was far from being con.
trary. oh! that's all right George"
said she. Il know what you mean.
Why, of course, will, Papa will be
delighted"

Mercerized denim is one OF the smart
materials for shirt waists and entire
costumes. It is said to wash well and
also to retain its gloss.
One odd fancy in millinery is a
black and white straw hat plated like
a checker board and trimmed with q
large rosette of white tulle and black
leaves OF a bunch of small flowers at
one side.
Japanese toile is one OF the new
dress materials. 1t is very attractive
,as Ii Is thin, has a glossy surface, and
seems to be something between a lin
en- and a tussore silk. A pretty gown
OF this in pale blue has a collar OF
white linen guipure finished with a
tiny edge of pale green silk.
A pretty idea for neck chains is to
indicate the name of the owner by the
first letter OF the different gems set In
clusters or at wide intervals. In eth
:, err case it is a pretty sentiment. Some
pet name can be worked out by the
sequence of the gems without being
suspected by any one not in the Sc
cret.
Linen and batiste hats are the latest
fancy in headgear for morning wear
with thin summer gowns, They are
in every tint between brown and ecru,
trimmed with foliage, flowers, lace
scarfs or chiffon rosettes.
Lace mitts are to the fore again,
prettier and finer than ever before.
They are to be worn at the fashionable
summer resorts, at dinners, dances
and lawn parties. Women with pretty
hands welcome them.
White linen blouses embroidered
with black are pretty feature In
mourning dress.
For automobiling the veil Is a spe'
ciaI consideration, and it seems to be
brown, or red or green, with large che
mile spots. 1t is a long veil Of chit

It is now an assured fact that orange
growing will pay. 1t having passed the

that they received no attention as to

Fortunes In Silkworms.
The greatest fortunes are promised
in the field of silkworm culture. Impor.
tant experiments in raising silkworms
have been going on in San Juan for
three months. The result of the tests
has been highly gratifying, and 1t has
been proven beyond a suspicion OF
doubt that there can be raised in Puer'
to Rico a silkworm which will make
the largest cocoon known to natural,
lists; a cocoon which Is three times
larger than that made by the Japan
ese worm and twice as large as that
Of the French and Spanish worm. II
has also been positively proven that
this silk Is the equal in quality OF any
which is known and that its lowest
price in the market is S75 a hundred
pounds.
