Concerning Stocks.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
A pretty way to make UP linen stocks is
to stitch a very narrow border of red on
the outer edges or even the tiny turnover
flaps on each side and the tabs, whether
these be double or single. Small red-bor-
dered straps are sometimes stitched across
such a stock. and little white and red
crocheted buttons are sewed on wherever
there is room. Rows or small clusters of
French knots are still in high favor. Mar
row silk folds, for the especial use of anna
teur stock designers, can be purchased in
the prevailing shades. and so can bands of
the popular needlework stitches of the day,
herring-bone, feather and brier stitch
cross stitch hemstitch and French knots
Besides these there are the narrow drawn
work bands and wider ones of the fascinat-
ing Paraguay disks that are still alto
gether the thing"
The busy designer avails herself of all
aids, but the true artist prefers to put in
her own fancy stitches upon the dainty
creation and so give IL that indescribabie
but unmistakable air of style and 'ndividu-
ality. In making up tabs for stocks scraps
of lace, often the most minute. may be
charmingly utilized. woven together with
pipings and fagotings into a fascinating
and cobwebby whole, that sometimes defies
imitation.
Two favorite styles of tabs are the
overlapping pieces, cut In all sorts of odd
shapes and falling from the center of the
stock to any length desired, and the double

Models are seen so trimmed that at first
glance they seem to be yoked only in effect,
though at second look the skirt is seen to
hang from real yoke. Squares or discs of
embroidery, passementerie or the like of
considerable size may outline the lower edge
of skirt yoke, and a skirt thus made and
finished will count new, while not widen
ing its wearer. Such trimming usually is re-
peated elsewhere in the dress, on bodice or
skirt, or both.
Tab and strap finish appears in many
forms from the very simple that is wholly
suited to severe tailoring, to the elaborate
ornamentation that may constitute the most
striking feature of snowy costume. Thus
a skeleton cape may consist of nothing but
long, narrow tabs hanging over the bodice
front and back, with tab two for each
sleeve, all in with horizontal section
no larger than a wide band-but little wider
than a single tab. When such trimming

About Girls.

DR.. Henry Van Dyke, in Harper's Bazaar.
There is one good result which I firmly
believe girls are going to get out of their
collective life, and that is a fuller develop
ment of the sense of honor. This is a deli
cate subject. Every one knows that women
are generally better than men. Their stand
ards of purity and temperance and rever-
ence and kindness and self-sacrifice are
higher, and they are more in earnest about
living up to them. But one thing is lacking
"a clearer conception and a stronger sense
of that fine flower of fair dealing which Is
called honor
Women are inclined (remember, I am
speaking collectively, and with full allow
ance for a multitude of beautiful excep-
tions) to think somewhat lightly Of obliga-
tions which rest merely upon a tacit under
standing and mutual confidence. They are
not trained to a state of things in which
a nod of the head amounts to a binding
contract, and a gesture of the hand is a
promise to pay good money. They have so
long enjoyed the privilege of changing their
minds that they regard 1t as reserved
right, only surrendered when they have
actually signed document. Within the
limits Of the law they will do their best
to get out Of things that they do not like.
1t is not an advantage when 1t is for their
interest to do so. They have tendency to
regard the states of love and war as per-
petual and universal, and to deal with their
rivals and their enemies according to the
old maxims which says that everything
is fair under those conditions.

TarragOn Vinegar.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Tarragon vinegar is indispensable in MAX
ing a good salad dressing. 1t also adds a
delightful flavor to homemade pickles,
catsup. etc. Tarragon vinegar sold here is
all imported; 1t comes in small bottles and
is very expensive, costing at retail 40
cents pint bottle or what is called pint,
but as a matter of fact these bottles do
not hold anywhere near a pint. For 60
cents a gallon anyone who will take the
trouble can make good tarragon vim
egar as the imported article. Get a gallon
of good cider vinegar, then take five quart
bottles of clear glass-not black or green
bottles. Put in each bottle four heaping
tablespoonfuls of tarragon leaves and fill
the bottles with the cider vinegar. Stand
the bottles after corking them in the sun
for a month. If you have no sunny place
to stand the bottles put them back of the
stove or close to a heater to distil, then
stand them for a week in a cool place and
strain the vinegar through heavy linen
cloth Return the vinegar after straining
to the bottles, cork them and stand away
for future use.

little turnover collars and cuffs bordered
with fruit in natural colors and almost
natural sizes Sprays of the same are also
applied to the ends of the tab or the tie In

of white dotted pink or blue lawn, with ex-
tremely narrow borders of white. or white
collars with the borders of any delicate
shade. An especial attraction of these
simple designs is that they launder particu-

pretty much any and everything is utilized,

Bird babies and their Cradles

What bird gets married the earli-
est? The horned owl, says Land
on Knight, in the July Delineator,
and his description of the court
ship, marriage and parenthood of
this ugly bird is very amusing, as
well as instructive. He also tells
the story Of the love and home build
ing of many others of the feath-
cred family, including the COW,
blackbird, oriole, chickadee, bobo-
link, warbler, king-bird, woodpeck-
er and virao. The paper is written
in the authors best vein, and can
not fail to be of interest to all who
love the things of Nature. The
illustrations are photographs from
Nature and add decidedly to the
fife ctiveness of the article.

Senator Charles A. Towne has

Senator Charles A. Towne has
been chosen orator of the Tammany
society of New York city, the most
powerful, shrewd and corrupt po-
litical organization in this country.
He was invited to deliver the prin-
cipal Fouth of July Grafton before
the society, and so charmed the sa-
chems that his selection for the ex-
allied position followed Immediately.
And it is not strange. We, who
have listened to him repeatedly, can
understand the charm he cast over
his hearers. Whether one he in
sympathy with his utterances, or
not, the music of his oratory fascin-
ates. 1t seems strange, however,
that his political convictions have
been so completely revolutionized
that he can throw himself into the
bosom of Tammany. He has aban-
doned the silver fallacy, his sole diff
ference with the Republican party
when he left it, and now atfiliates
fully with the most ultra Democrat
ic organization in that party. The
HERALD is surprised, for it believes
Mr.. Towne to be thoroughly hon

Andrew Lang held at one time what
must have been very nearly a worlds
record in literary output. His regular
weekly work was six leaders for a
morning newspaper, two humorous
sketches for an evening journal, two
bonk articles, two book reviews and a
contribution to weekly illustrated pa
per. In addition to this he devoted
four hours every day to what may be
called pure literature. He turned out
books at the rate Of three year or
even more. In 1890, for instance, there
appeared from his pen the ''Red Fairy
Tale Book" "Life, Letters and Diaries
OF Sir Stafford Northcote," GLOW to
Fail In literature" and "Oh Friends"
For weeks, together his work would
average $4,000 words a week.

Especial Correspondence to the HERALD

WAsu1NGroN, D. c., July Is.
Captain Henry A. Castle, Audi
tor of the Post Office Department,
received a telegram last week an
nouncing the death of his son,
James L. Castle at Tucson, Ari-
IONA. The deceased was about 81
years of age and had been an in
valid for some time. His sister,
Miss Margaret Castle, was at Tue
son, and will return with the body
to St. Paul, where the funeral SER
vices will be held.
Assistant, s.vcrctary Of the Irc:.-
sury Department, II. A. Taylor,
was once country editor. In
1857 he started the "River Falls
Journal at River Falls, Wisconsin,
which is still published. Some
years after he went to Hudson and
published paper which, under his
management, became powerful
factor in Republican politics.
Mr.. Taylor is still prominent
man in his party and stands high
in the regard and esteem of Senator
John G. Spooner. AS has happen
ed in Minnesota many times, Mr..
Taylor as country editor brought
Spooner into public view and
groomed him for the high place he
now occupies.
How many Minnesotans who
have an acquaintance with the hon
orable Charles Towne would have
believed eight years ago that
this brilliant young orator would
ever be in any way associated with
Tammany, even in the role of star
speech-maker at banquet, and yet
such changes have been wrong ht
by time in it's flight that Mr.. Towne
was found gracefully occupying
just such position on the evening
of the Fourth of July, when he ad-
dressed the braves of the Four
teenth Street Wigwam who were
gathered together to celebrate the
adoption of the Declaration of indie
pendence. Former Senator Towne
was an honored guest; caressed
the tiger without blenching, and
fearlessly toasted Democracy. His
address was characteristic of the
bent of his mind for the past few
years. 1t was rabid anti-imperi-
alistic Grafton, and he denounced the
Philippine policy in the Senate in
language far more vigorous than
that used by Senators Teller of
Colorado and Dubois of Idaho.
He carefully refrains from touching
ever SO lightly the silver question
upon which he was once SO prone
to dwell. A conviction grows up
on us after reading his Fourth of
July lametitation, that Charlie has
bats in his belfry.
H. F. Green of Duluth, the new
Civil Service Commissioner, is in
Washington making himself famil-
lar with the duties of his Office and
getting acquainted with the heads
of the divisions. He has entered
upon the discharge of his duties
and henceforth will be found busily
engaged in his work. Mr.. Green
was recommended to the President
by Representative Bede and United
States Judge Morris. He also re-
ceived highly fattering indorse-
ment from the bar of the State.
