In furnishing a house built upon
Colonial lines or In fitting up one or
more rooms in that much admired
period, there has long been felt a need
for pictures in thorough harmony with
those times to hang upon the walls.
Recently, and happily such difficulties
have been removed. A certain picture
dealer we'll known for his choice works
of art, has an exclusive collection Of
colonial etchings ,colored by hand re-
producing delightful interiors repre-
sentative of those by-gone days
Grandpa and Grandma" In the Pew"
"Betrothed.' "a Wedding" and so on.
The frames are duplicates Of the old
fashioned mahogany ones still to be
seen where anti Revolutionary belong

Of pictures sell for SIS each and find
purchasers ever glad of the chance.
Quaint to a degree and fascinating
is a picture representing the old mode
OF canal travel Of two generations ago
on what was then called a Packet
Boat to Albany" The resemblance Of
this boat to the modern houseboat Is
very apparent, the stateroom windows
being prettily curtained and broad in

A Damaging Kiss.

1t was no wonder the passing folk
smiled amusedly when two we'll

with titanic hats and floating wells. 1t

said, Miss. you'll be a-missing your

They kissed affectionateIy, and when
the travelling maid withdrew her hips
she found their hats had become en-
tangled. The veil of one had caught
on the wired flowers of the other hat
and the girls were imprisoned. Don't
tear my veil!" cried one. isn't it aw-
full" gasped the other "All aboard!"
cried the matter-of-fact station agent.
The girls struggled and fumbled with
the entangied hats and finally called
on the station agent. With one de-
termined yank he released the hats.
The one girl jumped on the platform,
her veil in shreds, and as the train
pulled out the other stopped to pick up
the floral trimming the violent agent
had torn off.

on Marriage and Divorce.


POUGdKEEPSIE, N. Y, June s.
commencement week exercises at Vas

livery of the annual address before
Phi Beta Kappa by Whftelaw Reid
who said:
Outside the immediate and inesti-
mable effect on the family, the con-
servatfve power of educated women
will naturally show it's influence on So
cial life. They will surely help to
check its degradation. They will GER
tainly correct the prevalent vicious
conception of its real scope. From this
degrading conception comes the con-
slant craze for newspaper publicity
and every other form of publicity. II
the conduct of the so-called inner cir
cles of society has sometimes seemed
to justify this brazen uproar at their
gates, so much greater the demand fol
the conservative influence and the real
refinement that comes from the higE
training OF superior women.

however, wore them into their seats,
