cry are seen on white null and very fine
linen waists. The number done in white Is
very large.
Madras waistings show elaborate figur-
ings, some of them making the shopper
think she has got 10 the wrong counter
and is looking a table damasks. However,
these will look all right made up, and there
is no waist quite as serviceable as white
one, for although dainty colors are at
tractive when new. after they have been
worn a little and become grirny they cannot
be boiled as the white ones can, so do not
come from the laundry like new. Delicate
colors require such in washing that
they sometimes fail to look as fresh as
they should. New wash goods show a va
riety Of basket weaves and are very stylish
and pretty. Those where a tiny black line
or dot appears are very attractive. Thin
dimities, mulls. linens and muslins lend
themselves so easily to high decoration that
they will remain in favor. Some of the
finest are themselves almost like lace.

Nourixhing Foods.

From Domestic Science Lecture.

'One reason is That its form is suitable for
combination with other food substances,
such as purees, or the cream soups made

used, or even entire milk, and this is the
most admirable substitute for meat in the
luncheon bill of fare.

the form of risotto, should be used in the

with meat and potato.

Women I'm Sports.

George Z. Stackhouse, in Leslie's Weekly
While the critics believe that the present
year will be the liveliest in the history of
outdoor sport and recreation, they admit
that the year just past has been a remark
able one for the lovers of fresh air and
those who have proper regard for the de-
velopment of speed and muscular tissues
in man and beast. The fair sex has done
its share to bring about such desirable
healthful and generally beneficial results
The bicycle did much in this country to
first take women out into the fresh air
and the safety should be held in reverence
for this If for nothing else. Next came
golf, and the women showed in a short
time that they could master the game. In
the South to-day there are many women
who in short skirts, leggingS and sweaters
accompany their brothers, husbands or
even boys into the fields with shotguns on
their shoulders in quest of quail and part
riders handle a horse with remarka BILE skill,
and the old fallacy that girl must be ac-
customed to the saddle from infancy to be-
come really expert has been cast aside with
other old-faShoned ideas. II is true that
some women never really learn how to ride
a horse, but there are many more who be-
come expert horsewomen almost in a day.
In the North gymnasfums for young girls
and women have sprung UP In most of the
large cities, and the classes have generally
doubled in size. and now physical direct
ors, both men and women, receive incomes
in some cases triple that paid TO teachers
and molders of the mind alone. Calisthen-
les have been introduced into the public
schools of the North with splendid results,
as the thinking physicians of the country
will readily admit. Young and old America
have fortunately at last been brought to
realize that a healthful body is just as
life as an active brain well stored with
learning.

and men of the widest divergence of wealth

to be absolutely unknown in Greeley. un-
less il is the aristocracy of personal merit.

nearly all the rest of dress goods creations,
are embroidered profusely, sometimes in
knots and sometimes in flowers and set pat

On these dresses, and indeed, in almost
every field, French knots are a much fav-
ored trimming, probably because they can
be applied over any other trimming and so
odd dressiness. They are much seen on

whole. their black giving a swagger set

Jump several Towns in order to get to him
in a Hurry because, If Hailfellow liked
Drummer. he would order a thousand gross
of Lamp Chirnneys rather than appear cold
and unsociable. In a short time he had a
Magnificent Stock but he could not remem-
Der exactly how much il cost him. So ne
sold Goods at whatever seemed to be Rea-
sonable, and the Farmers drove long dis
tances so as to give him their Trade.
In the meantime Crouch was reaping
the sure Reward of one who is not kind
to his Fellow-Man. People did not care TO
patronize one whose Conversation consist
ed very largely OF Grunts. and why should
they do so when they could so right across
the Street and buy Stuff below Cost, and
a Joke given away with every Purchase?
Crouch began TO lose Money and the Rent
ate up his invested Capital. At last the
Jobbers closed in on him and asked the
Sheriff to step in and the Sheriff said he
would so as soon as he got through closing
up the Hailfellow Matter.
Mr. Hailfellow had done rushing bust
ness. He owed nearly every Wholesale
House west of New York. and in addition
to laying up the most remarkable mess OF
Junk ever seen under one Roof he had
collected the Autograph Signatures OF all
the Paupers i'm the County. Four Experts
worked for a Month trying TO find out
where he stood. and at last they figured
out IL Cents on the Dollar.
IL is always pleasant to record a Re
Cancellation After all their Differences and
Misunderstanding. Hailfellow and Crouch
came together and resumed Friendly Rela-
tons.
Both are employed by a New Concern
which bought up the Bankrupt Stock.
Crouch is keeping the books at not very
much per Month, and Hailfellow receives
exactly the same Salary for standing
around the front Doorway and gladhandins
the Yaps.
Which proves that il is impossible for

it was not necessary to go into the Store in
order to get the complicated Aroma. Farm

felt that he was entitled to at least two

On every pleasant Day he stood in front of

He was quiet Josher and knew a lot of
good Jokes that he had once heard in
Minstrel Show at Columbus, o., and that
made him very strong with the Country

Furthermore. he was a good Mixer. He
belonged to the K. P.'s and the Odd Eel
lows, and a few others, so that about four
Nights out of the week he would fill his
Pockets with mild Smokers, usually neglect
ing to make out a Ticket, and then he
would pike for the Lodge Room and let his
Partner and the Boy with the Pink Shirt
attend to the Store.
If there was an Auction Sale or Base
ball Game or a Circus anywhere within
Radius of twenty Miles, then Mr.. Hailfel-
low would put on his Dark Suit and stand
UP Collar and drive over. just to get his
mind off of his Business In one Way and
another he managed to keep his Mind off of
Business about seven-eighths of the Time.
Sometimes, when he was around the Store
and there was Saturday Rush, he would
have to wait on a few Customers, but he
was a shine Salesman because he never
could make out what the Cost-Mark meant.
Mr.. Crouch, the Partner, possessed a
Good Head for Business, but he had the
Social Disposition of a Trimmer.
While Hailfellow would be up and down
the Street, kidding the local Population and
making himself we'll liked, Crouch would be
in the back end of the Store strengthening

went around TO Sewing Societies and Mis-

fellow had to put up with a lot and was
really the one who brought all the Trade

Mrs. Crouch loved to let all her Friends
know that her Husband shaved like a Dog

same, always came in on the cut-up of the

When the Wives begin TO take part in a
Business Row the Dissolution Notice is
about Due.
Hailfellow and Crouch agreed to dis
agree. Hailfellow took his Share and
opened a New Place across the Street, with
a Gilt Sign and nickel-plated Show Cases.
Almost Immediately it was the most pop
