VARIED USES
FOR FRAGRANT
CLOVER BLOSSOMS

This is the month when clover
blooms. Not only does every field fill
the passing breeze with it's clean fra
grant breath, but country lane and
roadside bear their quota. of clover
which makes delightful sachets for the
linen closet.
If the blossoms are gathered before
they are ripe, they will hold their per
fume for months. Dry them in tha
shade until well cured. The sachets
may be made of net or any thin fab
ric drawn up and tied with narrow
ribbons. Or take one of the pretty
japanese handkerchiefs, fill the center
with the dried flowers, gather the
four corners together and tie with rib
bon.
These sachets are of convenient size
for placing among handkerchief or bed
linen. They will impart a delicate per-
fume, quite as satisfactory as the Law
ender in which the English housewife
delights.
Brushes may be made of the clover
stems. Cut them in uniform lengths
bind them about the center with A
cord and bring the ends down together.
This must be done while the stalks
are still plant. Then bind about the
top with another cord, leaving a knot
ted loop for hanger. This may be
hung in a coat closet, where it will
do much to redeem the stuffy at
moSDhere.
A pillow of red clover blossoms will
frequently afford relief in cases of
nervous headache. For this wash
cover is the most suitable.
Glover salad, over which the French
grow enthusiastic, is made of the ten
der blossoms of the pink and white
clover. The blossoms are arranged
on lettuce leaves and dressed with a
French dressing.
To make clover sandwiches, an
other timely delicacy, put pat of fresh
butter, protected by oiled paper, in a
basket, and cover closely with clover.
Let it remain several hours until thor
oughly impregnated with the odor

closely together and cut into strips or

slipshod neck arrangement. On the
other hand. dainty stock can redeem
an entire toilette from the crime of
mediocrity.
Even the woman whose tastes in
cline toward masculine cut and finish
in her garments cannot resist the at
fractions of dainty neckwear. The
eternal feminine asserts itself in spite
of education or environment.
The business woman who Is forced
by reason of economy or the rules of
pradticahility to adoPt the plainest
of grab, finds in the stock her only
outlet for the love of the beautiful
With her, too, the taste for high man
nish linen collars seems to have pass
ed away with the styles of other sea-
sons. The only stiff linen collars
which the shops are showing are low
affairs with a turnover Often this
is broken into rounded tabs, or or
namented by line of hemstitching or
openwork embroidery. The old-time
stiffness is entirely lost. morn
ing walk along the boulevards shows
that even these collars are worn with
thin, fluffy wash ties of linen and lawn.
The effect is decidedly feminine.
Cuffs come to match these linen col
lars, and they are suitable for either
morning or shopping wear. The touch
of white at wrist and throat relieves
the monotony of the one-tone linen
costumes. Often the cuffs and collar
are stitched in color to match the
gown. The effect is very good, and
carries out the idea so much sought
after this season that every article of
a toilette has been made with the dis
tinct purpose of matching. The rule
is an old and valuable one in Paris,

In Paris the costume for automo-
billing. especially for long distances,
presents a muffled and swathed APP
pearance for in this case the Paris
ienne eschews the frivolous for the
practical. Loose coats, covering the
gown from neck to heels, are often
worn. Their protectiveness is their
chief virtue. A baggy hood envelopes
the head, and under the brim of the
plain hat big goggles loom with a
grotesque ugliness. If the goggles are
not worn a combined mica mask and
veil may be substituted.
When the thoroughly disguised
beauty lifts her skirts in getting out
of the equippage, top-boots of stout
leather, almost as clumsy as those
worn by duck hunters, are sometimes
disclosed.
The gloves for active service as
the slang phrase is, are proportionate-

at the doubled palms and unstiffened
gauntlet tops buttoning over the
sleeves.

THE PEARL STREET BEND
BY A. S. RICHARDSON.

The two houses stood so close to-
gether that their occupants could
shake hands through the windows. Not
that such a thing ever happened. how
ever. Jerry Farrell had his hands full
with the switchboard in the little
house, and the red-faced. loud-voiced
foreman saw to it that there were no
idle hands in the big house.
The little house was painted green
ish-gray and red. the colors of the ele-
waited railway company. It's one room
held the switchboard, round stove
on four ridiculous, sprawling little
legs, a chair, some coarse prints on the
walls, a few books-and Jerry.
The big house which, in the city
youth, had belonged to a prosperous
merchant. had on it's third floor an arr
tifcial flower factory. Here were long,
narrow tables piled high with gay
hued bits of silk, muslin and velvet,
the foreman with the sharp beady
eyes, lot of italian women, old and
young, who did not count and-Ni-
Ghetto.
When the elevated had wornned its
iron way through the heart of the city
the Pearl street bend had given no end
The Savannah morning news., 1903-06-14

Of trouble to the engineers. When at
last the work was finished, the struc-
tural iron on the outside curve at this
point fairly scraped the brick walls of
the big house. Right on this curve 1t
was necessary to build a switch house.
because the first station below, being
in the heart of the financial district,
was used as a terminal during rush
hours, while the stretch Of track above
the bend, being only two blocks long
before it curved north again, was
nasty place for trains running two
minutes or less apart.
Because it was a nasty place, the
company placed Jerry Farrell in charge
of the little house. Jerry had nerves
like steel and a cool head, despite his
merry smile.
1t was the same merry smile which
had warmed Nichette's heart one blus-
try winters day as she stood at the
windows during the noon hour It did
not take long for Nichette to eat her
frugal lunch, and after that the noon
hour hung heavily on her hands. Being
the only French girl among dozens of
low-browed clannish Italian women
was not an enviable position to Nj

over from her beloved France Doubt

their cultural EXPLANATIONS, their none
too neat figures, and the garlic which
scented their lunches each and every
day. She did not like the dark rooms
on the narrow East Side street. where
her grandmother and lier brother lived.
There was nothing but noise and fat

mother was always too tired to take
her. were wide streets and trees and
flowers and beautiful women such as
one saw IN Paris, but she did not know
the way. In Paris she could go alone to
any of the boUlevards and feast her
eyes on the gay sights.
All this had come into Nichette's
heart as she stood at the window
watching the snow doing it's best to
hide the shining rails, only to be
swept aside by the little brush attach
ed to the next engine that came flying
down the track. Yes, it was just so
with her life. Everything that she
earned was swept up by her grand
mother to pay for those dark, intoler-
able little rooms. What was the use.
The tears overlooked the soft eyes and
splashed on the petal of a silk poppy
which she had picked up as she passed
the work table. Then she looked up
and caught Jerry's smile.
After that the little house interested
her greatly. She had never before
noticed the intricate workings of the
busy switchboard, but now she watch
ed Jerry's strong hands manipulating
the levers, and pretended he was play
ing a mighty organ, the different en-
gines whistling in different keys as
they replied to his signals. 1t was on

never had the courage to look into his
face, for fear he would smile again,
and she had just little suspicion that
he was smiling at her folly. Did he
know about the inconsistencies, and the
little ump-backed grandmother, and
her beloved Paris?

cried in Italian, and the foreman rush.
ed from his private office.
But the sight that met his eyes was
OF Nichette kneeling on the one chair
in the little house, with a red flag in
either hand, shaking them from the
windows, one to the west of the curve
and one to the south. She knew MOTH
ing about switchboards, but she knew
that no train would pass those red
flags.
1t was evening in the little JERSEY
town, two days later. Jerry had lust
been brought home from the hospital
where he had been hurried with other
cases of heat prostration. Nichette sat
by his side, but they did not talk
much.
Mrs. Farrell hung over the side fence
telking with her nearest neighbor, who
spoke consolingly
Sure, Mis- Farrell, the Dist of 'eno
will marry"
"Oi've been expectin' somethin, or
the sort whin he came home late. an,

ply. Shes likely girl, an being a 8

, tried to picture anything of the sort.
He simply knew she was different
from the other workers in the factory
which touched elbows with his little
house, and that the disagreeable look
! ing foreman was probably slave
driver in his way, and made life bur-
den for one of Nichette's apparent re-
flnement.
Then came spring. The windows of
the big house and the one window OF
| the little house were thrown open, and
one day, as Nichette stood watching
Jerry during her incoming, he turned
suddenly between trains and asked her
sharply why she did not go out. There
was a square with trees and flowers
and children just ACKNOWLEDGMENT" he
pronounced it-and she ought not 20
stay cooped up in that smelly place all
the day long.
Just then a train was due and Jerry
went back to work, while Nichette,
startled but accustomed always to
obey, slipped back to the peg where
her hat hung and walked straight to
the park. She had picked up enough
English to catch all that Jerry said,
and she felt a childish right to find
her way by the aid of a policeman.
After that she went to the square ev
cry day, always nodding goodbye TO
Jerry, and going, not so much because
she cared for the trip, for it soon pail
ed on her, but with an indeflnable
feeling that this man with the merry
smile knew what was best for her.
When June came and brought the
first touch of hot weather, Nichette
hated worse than ever the noisy, mar
row street where her family lived
She dreaded going home at night.
One evening, with strange sense of
rebellion, she turned in the opposite
direction when she left the factory,
and sat, hungry but quiet, in the little
square. The children went home to
supper, other factory hands hurried
toward the ferry, and the sparkle of
the sun no longer caught the water
of the fountain.
So Jerry found her, as he started
home. He was not relieved until Z
o'clock, and usually he had no time
to lose, for he lived in a small subur-
ban town across the river. Now, how
ever, he quite forgot that such things
as time cards and ferryboats existed.
He told her about his mothers cot
tage in the Jersey town, with the flow
erns in the front yard and the vege-
table thriving in the back lot, to say
nothing of a honeysuckle vine on the
side porch and a promising young
cherry tree near the rain barrel. Nj
Ghetto waxed ecstatic and watched his
disappearing figure with tired, heart
hungry look in her eyes. The honey
suckle was in bloom, no doubt, and
roses. too.
Jerry did not dare to look back. He
knew his good-hearted but fussy moth
er would be much displeased at his hav-
ing kept the supper waiting by even
one or two boats, but he murmured
as he sprinted at the sound of the
ferry bell
ITS a pity she's a furriner, for a
likelier little one I amt seen in years"
Many an evening after that Jerry
was late, greatly to his mothers an
noyance ard mystiflcation, for he had
been as regular in his house as his
own well-trained switchboard. And
many an evening Nichette went to bed
supperless, because, as he grandmother
explained irately, a girl who would

rather sit in a park incoming deserved
no better fate. Several times it had
been on the tip of Jerry's tongue to
to see her and meet the grandmother
and the brother or whether she would
come out some Sunday to see his old
mother and the little garden. But the
thought of his mothers disapproval of
"furriners" held him back.
1t was a blazing July day. Horses
dropped in the streets and the hose
at every fire station was kept run
ming on passing teams and fortunate
small boys who had no regard for the
condition of their raiment. Not a
breath of air stirred in the flower fac
tory, and Nichettes head whirled odd
ly, though her hands worked on me-
chanically. Outside the sun sizzled on
the cleaning rails, and Jerry rubbed
his hand several times over his eyes,
for it seemed to him as if the rails
emitted sparks.
The noon hour came and Nichette
crossed to the window. There would be
no use in going to the little square to-
day. She was too tired. She started to
speak to Jerry, when suddenly, with
out a word, he slipped off his chair and
landed in a limp heap on the floor of
the little house.
The women in the rear of the factory
room heard a shrill cry, and for an
instant saw Nichette's slender figure
poised on the window ledge. Then she
disappeared, and panic broke loose

a red embroidered band, ending with
stole effect at the front. A red straw
sailor, red shoes and a red leather belt
completed the get-up.
Many black skirts are seen for golf,
and contrasted with either white or
colored waists they are charmingly
effective. But the skirts in dust coll
ored covert and those in invisible gray

more practical.
