By sports she is kept in the open air a
great deal and inhales deeply natures oxy-

and elasticity to her step. That makes her
the worlds most beautiful woman. No longer
does she wear corsets that cramp; all her
clothing is so cut and devised as to give her
freedom of movement, which strengthens the
muscles and furthers physical development.
So we sing the song Of summer, It's sports,
occupations, travels and its styles.

| the closet colorscheme.
Well arranged, and full of handsome
wares, a china-closet is among the best
ornaments of a dining-room. Tint the
walls to match the general tone of the
room, or else cover them with very
| thin, hardwood veneer, accurately fit
ted and tackled in place with the small
| est-sized brads. Varnish the veneer,
and keep clean by weekly wiping with
soft cloth wrung very dry out of
tepid water.
Leave the shelf surfaces plain and
cover them with linen, cut to fit, and
ornament with line of drawn work.
Heavy butchers linen is best, though
the soft-toned art linens may be eff
fectively used. Set one shelf apart
for glasses, preferably the upper one.
Cut the linen for it twice the shelf
width, hem it all around, then double
it. Thus there is light pad all over
the shelf 1t can be kept as fresh as
the single covers, and will safeguard
glass.
With crowded glass shelf, put down
small pieces first, inverting them, then
turn bigger pieces over them, taking
care that they do not touch. But be-
fore risking big bowl thus upon its
own margin, it is well to test it, and
see if it presses equally all around.
The slightest inequality may mean de-
struction.
Pressed glass and colored glass may
be piled together with comparative
impunity. But if when the pile is
Jared any piece in it gives out a
harsh rattle, it is wise to recast it.
The rattle portends breakage, since
it shows that something presses un-
evenly. Sender-stemmed wine glasses
look pretty tied in clusters of three,
the stems crossing and suspended by
bright ribbons from screw hooks in
the top. They need not hang low
enough to menace other things. Claret
jugs can be likewise hung, and other
fat things may go in racks across the
back. In that case the back needs
padded linen, like the shelf proper.
Test hanging things by setting them
swinging, so as to make certain they
will not strike anything else.
Keep plates carefully sorted, and
piled size and pattern together. Give
big platters room upon the 1owermost
shelf If it is not properly grooved,
tack strips of lath along it, and cut
the linen for it wide enough to go in
and out. Stand the platters on edge,
the biggest next the wall, graduating
them toward the front. With very
high shelf space they look prettier on
end, the highest in the middle, and get
ting lower toward the ends. Hand
some covered dishes are best set in a
row in front of the fiat ones. Use
judgment and an eye for color in all
placings. A small, clear yellow bit
against background of dull blue
illumines everything around it.-St.

who did, was the opportunity to estab-
lish the steel works to which Edgar
Thompson, then president of the Penn
sylvania, gave his name and much of
the capital. Carnegie's ability showed
itself at once in building up the NAM
moth industry which finally became
the largest enterprise of its kind in
the world. The great factories found
ed by him, or founded by others and
absorbed by him, are scattered
through the district of which Pitts
burgh is the center and were all finally
united under the one corporate own
ership, the Carnegie Steel company,
which Mr.. Carnegie has recently sold
to the great combination known as
the United States Steel company. Dur
ing his active years his profits rolled
up at a rate that no manufacturer ever
equaled before. His business was not
only splendidly managed, but was aid
ed by great natural advantages as well
as all the forces Of invention. To-day
he is multimillionaire, retired from
business, and scarcely month passes

STEPPED UP, NOT DOWN.
negie Teaches a Lesson Which
No Boy Should Ever Forget.

When Andrew Carnegie was ten
years old he left his native Scotch
town of Dumferline and came alone
to America. Reaching New York with
one sovereign in his pocket he walked
the streets for days trying to get
work, and at last went to Pittsburgh,
where he found chance to fire a small
stationary engine in a factory cellar
What do you suppose he thought
about, down in that cellar? About the
Libraries he was going to give away
or the gifts to universities he intend
ed to make one of these fine days?
My idea, says a writer in the Little
Chronicle, is that he thought about
firing that engine and did it with all
his might until working hours were
over. Then he went out and studied
the geography of the Smoky city, and
1T wasn't very long before he knew
1t well enough SO that he could move
up out of the cellar into q telegraph
office. Only messenger boy, to be
sure, but he could hardly have been.
the lazy kind we generally read about
or the manager would not have taken
fancy to him and begun to teach
him telegraphy within month
That was about AS years ago and
the dingy little Office where he was
working at two dollars and half a
week belonged to the Atlantic q Ohio
Telegraph company. Andrew Carne-
gle spent all his spare time in prac-
ticing telegraphy, and when he could
do as well as the operator at the key
(Which was surprisingly soon, by the
way) he took q place in the telegraph
service of the Pennsylvania railroad,
then comparatively humble system,
Boosting only single track lines.
Here he suggested method of train
dispatching that increased the ca
pacity of the road and shortly after
this Thomas A. Scott, whose remark
able career in railroad management
was just beginning, took notice of that
bright young operator and made him
his private secretary. When Mr.. Scott
was promoted to- his vice presidency
of the Pennsylvania road, Carnegie
became a division superintendent
Some of his savings were success
fully invested in oil lands and in the
manufacture of sleeping cars, and
now he began to accumulate money.

rather that he opened by being boy

MODEL CHINA CLOSET.
Some Excellent Suggestions for the

Dainty POrceIains.

The china-closet in many houses is
built into the wall. This disposes OF
location. Home-makers have to ac-
cept the goods and the ills the land
lords provide, but wherever located it
is imperative to have good shelves and
plenty of them. Very many built-in
closets have shelves much too far
apart. But it is sometimes possible
to make the high shelves answer by
putting screw hooks all over the I'M
dersides and hanging there cups and
mugs, little pitchers, etc. Hang the
