American Ingenuity.
From the Taller.

American women have this summer been
indulging in a delightful little costume
known as the summer shirt waist suit"
1t is made of Swiss muslin, linen, batiste,
''dimtty"-to use an old-fashioned name
and other simple materials. including light
silks and foulards, and is altogether the
most inexpensive ensemble possible In
dull blue or pink linen, the waist" trim
med with bands of broderie anglaise in the
form of box pleats and the skirt box pleat-
ed to match, but otherwise unadorned. it
represents a pretty little model which for
a girl in her teens is the ne plus ultra of
seaside costumes. while some very charm
ing examples in Indian silk, the bodice be-
ing cut round the throat and bordered with
two or three rows of transparent lace. and
the skirt adorned round the hips with
lingerie tucks and having rows of insertion
at the hem. were equally possible" and
rather more dressy.
For the linen costume the skirts are
naturally quite short, and some very eff
fective morning costumes for la belle
Americana have been evolved out of gray
linen adorned with a border design in
thick gray silk of a deeper shade AS
matter Of fact. gray linen has been very
little seen in our own country so that we
are hardly aware how wonderfully well
it lends itself to the seaside and noun
taineering gown. being essentially neat and
smart. while 1t does not soil easiiy-a wrin
kle to be remembered next year at such
time we begin to consider once more
our summer garments.

The "Smart Set" In London.


The fact is, we are all tired, over
excited and over-wrought. We keep our
selves up by artificial means. and we have
to pay for it in nervous collapses of more
or less dangerous nature. Theoretically
we should all like to live in the country;
we pine for the simple life" advocated by
people who have never tried it. In practice
we are not happy for more than a week
away from the whirl, and every day we
grow more luxurious.
Entertaining has reached such a point in
London now that only millionaires can at
ford to indulge in it, and since society
must be fed it will tolerate anything in the
shape of a millionaire that will provide free
meals. Nobody need despair of social sue
cess IL only sufficient money be forthcOm-
ing. True. society stuck for some three or
four seasons over one determined aspirant
but this year the portals fell. the siege was
raised. The method adopted was so daring
that only in the present state of London
society could 1t have succeeded. Balls, din
nerS and concerts in previous years had all
failed. Society stuck to its guns; 1t must
draw the line somewhere" is said. Then
happy inspiration seized the undaunted as
pirant to fame, and she engaged French
theatrical company to come over and give
a representation in her house of play so
grossly immoral that it's production had
been forbidden in Paris Invitations to
witness 1T were issued with such discrimi-
nation that the smart set ended by clam
oring for admittance. and the room could
not hold half the crowd who rushed to the
performance. The hostess having gently
limited that entertainments of a similar ma
ture would be forthcoming in the future,
society folded her in its embrace. and her
success was assured.
But at what depths Of generalization
have we not arrived when such a state of
affairs Is possible! Wealth and new SEN
satons are all that a certain set in Lon
don live for.

How Soiled Garments Are Handled
and Made to Look Clean.


and Made to Look Clean.
From the Lewiston Journal.
AS soon a laundry package comes in it
must be opened. the contents counted and
each article marked. Every patron is given
a private mark. some combination of letters
and figures. She then fills out a printed
slip with the name and mark of the Gus
toner. the number and kind of garments
sent and the page and line on which the
entry Is made on the record book, so that
it may be easily looked up should occasion
arise. The slip is hung up before one of
the boxes ranged along the side of the room
like the boxes of post office large
scale. The garments are now ready to be
sent down into the wash room.
1t is interesting to follow the soiled gar
ments through the different processes that
transform them to this state of crisp white
ness They are first packed into the big
iron washers. Revolving cylinders serve as
washbOardS, through whose perforations
the soapsuds splasheS in showers of foam
Sometimes woman superintends this de-
partment but more often 1t is given over
to men. for the work is heavy and more
unenviable position than in the close
steamy basement can hardly be imagined.
The process of washing requires between
two and three hours, after which they are
packed into the condenser and are then
sent up to go through the process Of starch
ing.
The opening of the drier emits a wave of
hot air and disclOses rows of articles hung
before hot steam pipes There seem to be
machines for everything. for moistening the
clothes to just the right point. for drying
and smoothing out sheets and such large
articles. which pass between the cylinders
covered with absorbent material; for polish
ing shirt boSoms and collars, cuffs and
neckbands of shirts.
The girls must be more or less skilled in
running these polishers. The shirts are
stretched over kind of bosom board and
the hot roller passes over them. The power
is regulated by the foot. In the large laun-
dries there are machines for ironing the
bodies OF shirts and such plain garments
but in many this work and, in fact, nearly
all but the polishing. is done by hand. The
shirts are then carefully folded and sent
out to be sorted
The collars come through the polishers
perfectly fiat and shapeless. girl passes
them over to the dampener which dampens
over to her companion at the shaper. Under
her guidance IT. begins to assume the ap-
pearance of a collar once more, and she
finishes her work by giving it a deft little
turn around the horn attachment
At the ironing boards in one room skillful
laundresses are ironing garments of all
forms and sizes. Only one of long expert
ence is intrusted with the fine tucks, frills
and embroiderfes galore. Some Of the Gus
toners have special rules and regulations
governing their laundry, and such articles
are designated by bit of string fastened
In the buttonhoie The position OF the string
indicates whether 1t fs rush work or
whether 1t Is to be extra stin starched, etc.

Cinnamon Who May Vote.

From the Chicago Tribune.
A correspondent asks whether China
man born in this country can VOTE The
fourteenth amendment reads: "AH persons
born or naturalized in the United States
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are
citizens of the United States. and Of the
state wherein they reside" II any China
man now domiciled in Chicago have son
born to him here the son will be what the
father cannot be-a citizen Of the United
States. The naturalization of Cinnamon be-
ing forbidden. the father will always re-
main an alien. and the son IL lacking in
filial piety-wfich Chinese children are not
could point the finger of scorn at him.
The son when OF age will have right to
vote in Illinois or in any other state IN
which he lives the requisite length of time.
There are Cinnamon in the United States
whose American born children will grow
up here but there Is no occasion for alarm
about the Chinese vote OF the future. It
never will cut any figure.

HIGH DIVING rs DANGEROUS.
Few Have Special Aptitua. to 1ndulg.
With Iphunity.

rrom tne new FORK I1mef%
Except for those pho have an especial
aptitude for it-and There are few-high
diving is a dangerous pastime to indulge
in." said New York; diving expert to a re-
porter the other day. A good diver may
occasionally lose his balance. but. being
generally cool-headed. he can regain it. Or
at any rate sufficiently so to prevent injury
to himself. Many of-our young men and
women who go to the seaside in the sum-
mer for the bathing to-be had come away
permanently injured for<Hfe by having reck-
lessly INDUCED in high diving, and few Of
them, as a rule, are able to explain how
they received their injuries.
In the majority of cases deafness Is the
most frequent injury inflicted by diving.
The cause of this is that few find it easy to
drop the head sufficiently to get it well be-
tween the arms. The result is they receive
some tremendous blows on the head, and If
the water is struck bit sideways the ear
gets most of the conclusion, and the result
will frequently be rupture of the men,
brane of the tympanum. A good preventive
for such an accident is to place in the ears
a little medicated wool or cotton dipped in
oil.
Another injury to health caused fire.
quently by diving arises from getting large
quantities of water into the lungs. The
extent of the harm done in cases Of this
sort depends on the condition of the water
boys at Coney Island. for instant, dive into
the water al places where 1t was absolutely
filthy from the execution Of drainage into
IT. The danger to health. especially to
those with not overstrOng constitutions, can
readily be seen. But am DEPRESSING. The
higher the dive the longer, of course will
be the duration under water. Now, an in
experienced diver is rarely able to hold his
breath under water for more than a second
or two at time, and If the dive is an I'M
usually high one he will, in nine cases out
of ten. give up the struggle in trying to
retain his breath. and invariably. too. just
before the head reaches the surface The
result not infrequently is that the water
that has escaped into his lungs and stom-
ach is far more than is good for him, and
to many 1t is positively injurious
''The best thing I know of to bring one
quickly to the surface in high diving is to
have a piece of cork fastened under each
armpit. Corks weighing four ounces each
are sufficiently strong in buoyancy for a
man of $50 pounds in weight. There are
many devices by which the corks can be
kept secured under the armpits. Perhaps
the simplest is to sew each cork into a
ight-fitting canvas Or cotton bag and then
again sew each bag on to the bathing suit
by a couple Of strands. allowing the strands
to run over the shoulders.
Those with weak hearts," the expert
added. cannot be too strongly advised
against high diving. The spring. the rush
through space, the break and the entrance
and cleaving of the water are altogether
too exciting for weak hearts. and espe-
cially so in cold weather."

Women Know How to Laugh.
rom the New York Tribune

A critic of mankind observes that women
laugh much more successfully than men,
that is they know how to do it agreeably
and discreetly. whereas a man merely
opens his mouth and emits a huge and
usually an unmusical sound. No man looks
his best when he is laughing heartily A
woman. on the contrary. may enjoy a joke
or situation quite as much as he and
laugh just much. but she manages to do
it, as a rule. without disarranging her
features or her toilet and without smit-
ing diSagreeably on the tympanum of
other people. The tinkle of feminine laugh
ter is generally pleasant to listen to; 1t
sounds we'll across water: it floats pleas
antly on the breeze. and though there are
exceptions they seldom equal in disagree
ableness the examinations of the opposite
sex

THE WINE SAMPLERS JOB.
The Tantalizing Work Required Of the
Profession.


From the Albany Journal.
There's only one Job at the st. Louis
exposition that would like to get" said
a well-known man about town at his club
last evening. land that is a wine sam
pier
You would soon get sick Of your job"
replied a fellow clubman. There will be
between 10000 and 10000 samples In the
wine exhibit. and IL you would be allowed
to taste it In the ordinary way your finish
would be rapid.
II have heard the business described. and
a matter of fact It IL mot customary in
this operation to permit the wine tester
to sip from each bottle and pronounce his
judgment until his mind begins to wander
and his tongue thickens. He does not swal-
low the wine at all. II is tasted. but never
swallowed. After FIVE or six samples have
been examined the Jurors will rest few
minutes. then eat a bit Of cheese and
biscuit, after which they rinse their mouths
This Is kept up from 8 in the morning until
noon. Persons who can thus refrain from
real indulgence in the wine cup presented
in this tantalizing manner are examples of
abstinence which ought to inspire admira-
ton for the race
ut is not every one who can thus tread
near the danger and step back from the
brink. With mans nose in the cup that
lneDrlateS no IS generally d SOner. II Is
as good as settled when he gets so far as
to lay his hand upon the wicker door. The
exhilarating effect Of suffering a stream of
some fifty or a hundred different kinds OF
wine to pass between ones lips even If
refused admittance at the inner portal,
must be considerable: and layer of cheese.
a layer of biscuit and a layer of mineral
water continued for three hours it would
seem, would be a distressing ordeal. After
the bouquet of cheese. what becomes of
the bouquet of the wine? There are cheeses
that make one quite oblivious of every
other thing set on the table before one.
