THE oLD-FAsHloNEp FouRrH.

The tantalizing third We beat the birds
TO bed at night
And raced the roosters on The Day to
greet the morning light.
The cannon, loaded weeks before, was
ready to salute;
Our captain" touched her of and
shouted Hi there, fellers,
scoot,"
But We, who scorned discretion, stood
around the piece of scrap,
Each hoping, if the captain fell, TO fill
the glorious gap
Nay. not whit more cheerfully the
fathers faced the powder;
Nor could their blunderbusses raise a
racket any louder
And what more reckless hero ever
drew sword from sheath
Than he who fired his crackers while
he held them in his teeth?
And, since nobody dared to take
stump"
I'VE often prayed
A blessing on the boy who cried,
Lets go to the per-rade!"
And then we heard the orator Though
much against our wilD
Who said, "The blood our fathers bled,
thank God! is bleeding still"
He bled SO long we greatly feared he
never would run dry,
And some one read "the grand cid
words" we vainly wondered
why,
But, heaven be praised! monster gun
was there to make noise
And a Gallant ffe-and-drum corps
understood the needs of boys.
All day the crimson lemonade gushed
gayly forth at us,
Till aniline enamel lined each boys
esophagus.
All day, as long as all our wealth could
syndicate the price,
We chilled our ardent stomachs with
canary-colored ice.
How could that coal-tar dye compel
the flavor of a dream?
How could that starch of corn produce
so heavenly cream?

They try to celebrate it, but they
plainly don't know how.
And would | do it in the way we used
to, if could?
Of course, well, no, come to think,

Nor do want the company to pay

The MOTHER.

She sends her wild and noisy swarm
OF children out of sight to play,
Careless, it seems, of any harm
That might befall them on their
way.
But she has weaker lives to rear
Babes at her breast and at her
knee
And toiling On, unmoved by fear,
She lets her children wander free.
INTENDED in the rain and sun,
They fight and play and dream and
roam,
Till, tired and listless, one by one
With tagging feet they make for
home.
And there, forgetting grief and mirth,
Into their mothers arms they creep;
And en- the cool, soft breast of earth
Her weary children fall asleep.

Women Taking Mems Places.

Woman's progress toward other
functions than the domestic and social
is marked again by some new steps of
importance, conspicuous among which
is the selection of three women asso-
ciates by the chief Of sculpture of the
st. Louis Exposition. The appointees
are Janet Scudder and Evelyn B, Long
man of New York and Julia E. Bracken
of Chicago. Each has accomplished
work of distinction, the first being the
only American woman sculptor who is
represented in the Luxembourg in
Paris. Miss Bracken designed the
decorative work for the Womans
Building at the Chicago Exposition,
while Miss Longman gained some emf
nence for work at Buffalo. Within
the same high field of art, but more OH
its material side, is the development III
the vicinity of New York Of a consider
able attention on the part of women to
the making of violins. A Brooklyn
manufacturer, moved by the desire for
greater sensitiveness in the manipula-
ton of this very delicate work, led in
! an experiment of training women to
it. The results being satisfactory, his
plan has spread until there is prospect
that it may grow even into fad. En-
thusiasts look upon the occupation as
one that might fit quite well the
fancies of the well-to-do, and presently
take its place with painting, en-
broidery or sculpture. Somewhat far
away from art, and perhaps with ten
dency to impel womanhood in general
away from the idyllic field, is
notable reaction against school-teach-
, ing, recent reports indicating that
dozens of women, firing of the small
pay and non-continuous employment
of the schools, have taken to stem
, 8. Apply and the business offices. The
movement has been observable for q
! long period, but it has been gaining
force distinctly within the past few
months. The fact that it involves a
greater inter-association of women
with men in the active affairs of every
/ day may place it in somewhat the same
group of events with the very interest
ing incident of the appointment of the
long-wished-for women inspectors in
the custom-house service at New York.

WIG FOR BATHING GIRL.

The summer girl is battling with an
important query:
Shall she wear awig for surf bath
ing?
The creature who INDUCES only in
sand baths will not succumb to the
charms of the ringlet wig. If she pulls
soft tuft of hair from under the cap
on her forehead and another on the
nape of her neck, she easily remains a
French doll all morning, to the great
delight of the cream-fanneled, silk
shirted chappies.
But the genuine summer girl has a
strong love for the old ocean, and will
not sacrifice the exhiliaration Of glor-
ious salty plunge for vanity's sake.
The wearing of a wig, however, kills
two birds with cs,e stone.
When an acknowledged beauty
energies from her salty bath with drip
ping resses hire is usually transformed
into a most commonplace-lookin crea.
ture, bearing but slight resemblance to
herself on promenade.
Her hair clings tightly to her head,
work before her appearance is up to
the standard.
Besides the loss of good looks, salt
water plays havoc with the scalp, caus-
ing the hair to fall out and become
quite coarse. The brilliant luster of
milady's looks soon disappears, and a
clouded, rather faced look takes its
place.
After a sea bath the tresses and the
scalp should be thoroughly rinsed with
clear water, removing any salty sub
stance, and drying them carefully, as
moisture is most harmful.
These facts must be accepted seri-
ously, as every woman who INDUCES in
surf bathing has experienced the same
trouble. When we drift back to town
in the autumn there is the same old
story of scalp treatment for scant and
sickly locks.
Previously the nearest approach
summer girl could get to showing the
hair about her face was a fringe she
vainly sewed on the edge of her bath
| ing cap.
Women who have naturally straight
hair resort to this same trick on ocean
voyages, where fog and dampness are
the usual beauty foes.
When putting on a cap or wig the
hair is drawn tightly from the temples
and off the nape of the neck into fat
knot on the top of the head. The skull
cap of oiled silk fits snugly to the
scalp and neatly limos the wig, SO that
ones locks are amply protected from
the ravases OF briny bath.
This little accessory, which so ad-
mirably serves its purpose, is sold in
all colors to match the bather's own
hair. They are of brown and auburn,
in varying tones. from the palest to
deepest shade. Black wigs, of course,
are included, but arc not as attractive
as those Of brown with golden glints
Wigs assume all sizes and shapes.
They are cleverly weaved, and 500 he of
the more coQuettish have ringlets on
the edge, just as damp weather affects
naturally curly hair. Some are short,
curling tightly around the head, others
float away from the temples and come
to, or a short distance below, the
shoulders. The hair is warranted to
Withstand the stress of water and
weather perfectly.
Women who have only waded for
fear of getting their topknots wet may
now venture beyond the life line, re-
turning with heads of hair shining
bravely. The little wig is the secret.

The Nun. Henddrea..

Very few persons, says a French pa
per, know the origin Of the headdress
which so many nuns wear and which
hides so much of their faces. 1t was
formerly the custom for converts to
send nuns to the various cities and
towns for the purpose of collecting
aims, and, as q rule, two nuns, one old
md the other young. went to each
place. They wore small caps and were
popularity known rs Swallows Of
Lent"
On a certain Ash Wednesday two of
them succeeded in obtaining admission
to the kings palace In Paris, and,
though the monarch and his courtiers
were at dinner, they did not hesitate to
solicit aims from them. One of the
nuns was very pretty, and the young
mobiles who were feasting cast such
bold glances at her that she blushed
with shame, whereupon the king rose
from the table and, taking his napkin,
folded it in two and placed it on her
head in such a n that it con-
'cealed her bushes. Ever since that
day, it is said, this kind Of headdress
has been worn by nuns
