Rose Fete To-day

Morning papers were eagerly scan
ned today for the weather prediction,
and a mighty sigh of relief swept the
city when the magic word fair met
the eye of the beholder. That was all
that was needed to assure the success
OF the rose fete being held at Bishop
stead this afternoon and evening for
the benefit of the Day Nursery and
Hospital for Babies.
This is such "a good cause, and It has
accomplished so much good that many
people are interested in 1t rather than
any other charity. It now is in a POSI-
tion to broaden its scope, too, and the
interest manifested in it is encoura ging
to the managers who have worked for
it so faithfully.
Scores of women were at bishop
stead all morning, placing to best ad-
vantage the great mass OF roses-deep-
hearted red roses, the delicate white
rosy pink, and creamy yellow-which
had been sent there for decorative
purposes. Electricians were busy yes
terday stringing the lights which to-
night will lend a fairy-like aspect tc
the beautiful grounds. These annual
affairs grow more popular each season
and the largest attendance yet is eX-
pected this afternoon and evening.

The Bridal Shirt

In Scandinavia, 1t seems, it is the bride
groom's bridal shirt, and not the brides
gown, which is held in regard and almost
supersutious reverence. This article of
apparel is made and bestowed by the
bride and worn by the recipient on his
wedding day only. After that it is put
carefully away and not again donned,
even in the most extreme poverty, until
put on in preparation for the grave. There
are devout Swedes who believe not only in
the resurrection of the body, but also
Of the veritable betrothal shirt. A Swedish
widower must on the eve Of a second mar
riage destroy the bridal shirt given by
his first wife, or dire calamity may befall
the new home.

Pretty Paper Napery

Artistic accessories of the table, in
the shape OF doilies, casserole frills,
ramequin, and sherbet cups, are now
within the reach of every housekeeper
since they are made of paper and at
most reasonable prices. The hostess
who has seen her most cherished piece
of lace or embroidery ruined by a
fruit or chocolate stain win find these
dainty doilies a boon, indeed, and for
a trihe extra she can have her mono
gram on each piece. The beautiful
Tenerine drawn work is wonderfully
initiated. as well as the old English
crochet work.
They are proof against liquids and
hot viands despite their fragile appear
ance, and there is no suggestion of sod
denness, as they are not filled until
time for serving. Salad and ice cream
cases come in a pleasing variety of
forms and coloring. so it is possible to
carry out a color scheme at slight eX-
pense. Strawberry ice served I'm a
green cup is suggestive Of the month
Of roses, and for July there are a num-
ber of patriotic devices.
For children's parties these paper
dishes, supplemented by paper napkins
Of COOL quality will relieve the anxious
mother of all worry over breakage and
stains. While for picnic parties, not
only the annoyance of breakage is done
away with, but the tired pleasure-seek
er need not be burdened with unneces-
sary luggage when homeward bound.

The New Sunbonnet

Despite the news that comes from
Newport that women there are going
bare headed, the sensible girl is laying
in a stock of n-bonnets. Not the
ugly stin, uncompromising slat bon
nets of our grandmothers, but dainty
little things of lace and swiss and null
that enhance the beauty of the wearer.
Pique is also used, but the necessity
for starching it makes it so warm that
favor runs in the direction of lighter
stuffs. Wire and feather bone frames
are now accepted as the correct foun-
dations for the bonnets. Ruffles, tucks
and lace frilling galore may be made
to keep i'm place properly If given a sub
stantial holding such as these will
make for the purpose.
one bonnet made of lining net and
feather bones run one inch apart in

For a Good Complexion

1t is said that there are four essentials
to good complexion; air, sunlight, fric-
tion and good digestion.
1t is of the highest importance TO the
general health, no less than to the
beauty Of the skin, that the pores
should Ike kept free and open. Through
them salts, acids and foreign mat
ter in solution are expelled. The
health OF the skin is inseparably con-
nected with the health of the internal
organs generally.
Bathing should in all cases be adapt
ed to individual constitution. The safe
medium is found in teDid bath, which
is non-injurious to every one. Cold
baths must be undertaken only with
due regard 10 temperature ana to the
physical condition generally: thez are
too great a shock for delicate epople.
On the other hand, hot water bathing
is not wise in the cases Of those having
4 full blooded tendency.
A skin specialist advocates plenty Of
friction Says he; use good soap,
CASTLE or olive, whichever you prefer,
and do not spare muscle. Scrub the
body with a rough washrag. THIS serves
to stimulate the action of the pores and
to renew the skin. Much of the bene-
fit Of a bath is derived from the rub
bing.
An excellent suggestion is to make a
bag Of cheese cloth. cutting squares of
convenient size. Fill with bran, little
powdered orris and some shavmgs of
CASTLE SOAP. This can be used as a
wash-cloth. o. several can be- intro
duced into the tub for the softening
and Derfuming Of the water
Hot baths should never be taken If
the person intends going out. The best
plan is to indulge in this luxury upon
retiring, when one gets the full benefit
lof its rcstful, sleeD-inducing effect.
Two teaspoonfuls of benzoin added to a
lpint of colo water makes an excellent
wash for the treatment of frecAles and
sunburn, though it must not be allowed
to touch the e.es. Lemon Juice will
also cure freckles, il applied once ol
twice daily, but is apt to roughen the
skin.

WILL BUILD BATTLESHIP
New York shipbuildins Company Bid
Approved BY Construction Board.

ffFffNHNN - NNft~~' N~NtNf NNs-tNf
Washington. ID. c.. June 9.-Secretary
Moody received from the Board of Con-
struction yesterday afternoon a recon-
mendation for THE awards of contracts for
the construction OF one iG,000-ton BATTLE
ship each to the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock Company, whose
bid was S4,liOO0O; the New York Ship
building Company, Of Camden, n. j..
whose bid was A.1G5.OO and the Fore River
Ship and Engine Company. whose bid
was A179,0OO. Secretary Moody prefers 10
confer with some Of his naval advisers be-
fore approving the recommendation.
Since the bids were submitted the ques-
ton being asked here Is, Where Is the
shpbuilding Trust? The Eastern Ship
building Company was the only member
Of uhe Trust that bid on those battleships,
and its bid was the highest-Sil92OOO for
one ship.
The advance IN the cost Of material Is
demonstrated by the narrow margin made
by the builders between the bids and uhe
amount of appropriation-Sf.2l .2l200O
Another notable feature Of these bids Is
that not one company feels able to build a
battleship i'm less than fouty-two months
This was the length Of time required three
years ago.

O11A4O FAIR SEX
DepeW on MatrimOny

ChaUncey NJ. Depew has been visiting In
Chicago. 1t also goes without saying that
he has been talking there. But what he
says IS always Of interest and his talk In
Chicago is no exception to the rule There
the New York orator voiced his sentiments
on love and matrimony giving vent to the
following aphorisms:
A young man is always in love. It's his
natural state. The condition is chronic.
Let man marry just as soon as he can
support a wife.
Delay in the'hope Of finding ones affin-
ity is unwise. A man is just as likely to
hit upon his ideal early as late. My advice
don't wait.
Propinquity is the most powerful factor
in making two hearts beat as one.
The great remedy for domestic difficult
tes-concession on the part Of both.
An extended acquaintance before mar
riage and a knowledge OF each other s
tastes and peculiarities does not insure
congeniality afterward..
Women pitch their ideals of mankind on
too high plane. Then they find that man
IS only common mortal, without even a
pinfeather on his shoulder blade.
Love can never occupy so large a place
in mans life as it does in womans. A
mans life is too full, too active, too va
ried in its interests. de loves. but not as
woman does. However, a man may become
80 madly infatuated as to spend his busi-
ness hours drawing cupids all over his let
ter-heads.
Many women form their ideals of What
husbands should be by feeding their imag'
inaions on novels and plays. Disillusion-
ment is bound to follow.
