THE girl with short vacation
must select her summer gowns
with particular care. She must
consider well their appropriateness and
their adaptability. She cannot take
many gowns with her. and those she
does pack away in her small trunk
must be just the right thing for the
right occasion.
In planning her summer vacation-time
wardrobe, strange to say, it is the but
tons that count, If she aims to keep pace
with the advance fashions. It is not
that buttons make her frocks appropri-
ate, but that buttons give her gowns the
newest finishing touch of style. Big but
tons and little buttons, plain buttons and
ornamental buttons, are all used, and
for pearl buttons there is perfect
craze They are used not only In the
conventional way of fastening the
bodice or coat, but as trimming for
the skirt. In fact. wherever there is
possible excuse for them, these pearl
buttons are to be found this year
II the girl with short vacation can
have put one shirtwaist suit she will be
wise TO have it made of wash silk, for
she can wear silk gown on many oc-
casions. even If it is made in shirtwaist
style, when linen or crash dress would
be bad form. A good style model to copy
is made of ecru wash silk: the gored
skirt is light and cool; it Is made very
plain and unlined. 1t is close fitting.

The shirtwaist is made without the ex-
aggerated blouse and shows the pretty

his baggage and letters showed his
starting place, If he, or both ira
velers, had been Immediately from
Tampico, the results would have
been the same.
Such quarantine system is the
same as none. 1t is the duty ofthe
mayor of Matamoros to look into
this matter and establish a most
rigid quarantine.
Another example occurred in
Brownsville this week. A Mexican
lady visited the Office of County
Attorney Goodrich, and while there
she informed him that she was
direct from Tampico. He at once
established a quarantine system of
his own and told her that she would
be retained under his official care
for awhile. However, as it had
been nearly two weeks since she
was in Tampico, Mr. Goodrich al
lowed her to go away. The distance
is 200 miles and a very rough and
unsettled route, hence several days
are required to make the trip. She
told Mr.. Goodrich that yellow fever
is very prevalent in Tampico; that
the day before she left there she saw
three of her brothers taken away to
burial, having died from the fever.
and that people were dying in all
parts of the city daily.
Now, there is positively no dan
ger of yellow fever reaching Browns
vile, if proper precautionary meas
ures are taken, no more than there
is of it reaching Dallas, or Denver,
C DO. In fact, scarcely as much, for
there will not be one person come
here from Tampico to where half
dozen will go on up the railroad via
Monterey and into Texas through
Laredo.
But it is better to have a knowl-
edge of actual conditions, so that
proper action may be taken to fore
stall any danger that might show
itself. Let US first impress upon the
officials of Matamoros the urgent
necessity of enforcing a strict quar-
antine against Tampico. Then let
us proceed to clean up our own
premises and establish a perfect
sanitary condition in this city.
With these precautions there will be
no possible likelihood of yellow
fever, or any other virulent disease,
visiting Brownsville.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Tampico, Mex, there can no longer
be any doubt. Neither can there
be any doubt as to the inefficiency
II the quarantine regulations which
ehe authorities OF Matamoros have
established against it, and unless
eome further and decided action is
taken the liability of the fever
spreading over Mexico and prob
ably into Brownsville is very i'm
minent. Pressure should be brought
against the Mexican authorities in
al the cities of that republic by
American public opinion and Of
hcers to such an extent that all
danger from yellow fever will at
once be removed.
Il IS a mistaken policy to attempt
10 suppress the knowledge of the
existence Of infectious diseases.
The truth is the best policy under
all circumstances. THE HERALD
mas established a reputation Of
personal veracity and fearless
lspousal of an open, candid public
policy in all matters that has gain
ed it general confidence and respect,
and it is the purpose of the man
=agement to maintain this reputa-
lion. THE HERALD will report
actual conditions, as they appear,
and the reports may be relied upon
by the public.
Tampico, Mex, is miles away
from Brownsville, with no direct
communication in anyway what
soever, hence there is no probable
chance for yellow fever to reach
this city from Tampico by direct
sOurse. Brownsville is as safe in
that respect as San Antonio, Austin
or Houston and Galveston. In
lact, there is more danger at Gal
weston than here.
But there is some danger indirect
~ in the fever reaching Matamoros,
lhen, perhaps, Brownsville. Mata-
moros citizens have realized this
danger, and the mayor has declar-
ed quarantine against Tampico,
and so notified Hon. Thomas Car
son, mayor Of Brownsville.
This quarantine was timely and
gratifying, and for awhile we felt
secure. But this week facts have
come to light which show that so
Ear as the quarantine is concerned
Matamoros and Brownsville are
absolutely without protection and
yellow fever Is apt to be brought
into these cities any day.
Now don't get frightened; there
Is no yellow fever within 200 miles

As an example of the lax quaran-
tine system in Mexico, Judge Louis
P. Bryant, relates the following
incident. He came over from Mon
serey, and when he arrived at San
Miguel, where the Mexican quaran-
sine officer is stationed, that official
stopped him and asked from
whence he came. Judge Bryant
replied, New Orleans, and was al
lowed to proceed without further
examination. Another gentleman
with him was asked the same ques-
ton, who replied, Monterey.
The facts are, Judge Bryant was
from Monterey direct, although his
home is in New Orleans, and the
other traveller was from a point
within fifty miles OF Tampico, and

JOHNNY CAKE AND NEIGHBORS.

Once upon a time-Mrs. Cheney tells
the story-the mother of a certain fam
lily left home for a few days. giving
the children, as recOmpense for their
loneliness, permission to have exactly
what they chose for their meals One
morning, accordingly, they were re-
yelling in breakfast Of johnny cake
that luxury having been their unani-
nous choice-when a neighbor walked
in
Instantly the little feast was turned
to ashes; the children sat about the
table with crimsoning faces. Johnny
cake might be delectable to the pal
ate, but to be caught eating it was
humiliation unspeakable. For did not
everybody say that only the very poor
est people ate johnnycake?
One smiles at the scene, and yet
For years Grace Perry had been
wishing that she could earn some
pocket-money. Her father gave to her
as generously as she could afford, but
the family was large and his expenses
heavy. If she could only have little
income of her own. Grace thought; but
there was nothing she could do, ex-
cept-
Then Grace colored. Years before,
when she was little girl, an old aunt
had taught her how to do fine laundry
work. She had thought it play then;
later the knowledge had enabled her
always to wear such dainty, fresh
gowns that richer girls wondered and
envied. She liked the work. too. and
there were many people who would
have been glad to pay her well for 1t.
But, of course, she could not think
of it. What would people say?
There were the Morgans. too. Things
were little hard with the Morgans,
and it was necessary to retrench. They
talked the matter over in family coun-
Gil, and decided among other things
to give up desserts at dinner. Mutual
confessions revealed the fact that ev-
cry member of the family really cared
nothing for. them, and was confident
that he would be better without them.
Yet within a month the Morgans
were having desserts again. They
were sociable family, where people
were always dropping in" at meal
times, and it looked SO strange, they
said, to offer friends no dessert.
There is another side to the johnny
cake question, nevertheless, and one
that Is worth studying. Once In a
while some soul of Drawer fiber than
the majority has insisted upon eating
her johnny cake, and enjoying it in
spite of its lowly popular estimate.
Sooner or later it has come to pass
that johnny-cake has been lifted from
It's humble estate, and has won the re-
spect due to it's intrinsic merit.
Once or twice something still more
curious has d-johnnycake
has become the fashion! Then the
one who first insisted upon eating it
has been seen to smile refectiyely.-

ton Johnson, who, in jaunt through
Long Island, came upon typical New
England character in the "Uncle
Matthew" whom he thus describes in
New England and Its Neighbors:'
A tall, bony old man was working at
q large button-ball tree he had just cut
down. 1t had fallen across the high
way, and the top reached the opposite
curbing. The man was chopping off
limbs and trimming the brush from
each in turn, quite obliyious Of any
need of opening the street to traffic.
Some of the teams turned about and
sought another thoroughfare; others
along the sidewalk. Presently a man
with a load of brick alighted and ap-
preached his neighbor, who was still
pecking away at the brush.
'See here, Uncle Matthew" said he,
"why don't you cut off these top
branches, so teams can go paste"
wal, I'm a-going to-
"But you no need to trim all the brush
first"
"Naow look here! I'm a-dewing this
job, amt L? If you're in a hurry, drive
along ON the sidewalk, same as other
folks do
"But I've got ton and half O. brick
on"
"That don't make any difference"
I'D smash my wagon all to flinders.
I'll take hold here and help, and you
can make road through inside O. five

small limbs.
