A Smart Effect.

Another particularly smart effect is
shown in another sketch. 1t is gown
of hand work composed of black NOUS
seine de sole and woven with black
chenille. 1t is appliqued with chiffon Or
chids and trellis of ribbon vines. The
drop skirt and frou frou are of turquoise
blue taffeta and chiffon. There is an
1880 bodice of hand work, with yoke and
sleeves of blue mousseline laced with
chenille. With this is worn a Jet hat
having chantilly streamer falling the
whole length of the dress. The dresses
of the chorus are even more handsome
than those of the principals; indeed, 1
am told that the simplicity of their cos
TUNES is the only thing that makes the
principals stand out
Oh, must not forget to mention two
stunning little suits worn by the Heng..
Ter sisters, who are supposed to imper-
senate reporters in one act. Fancy any
reporter dressing like that! 1 mention
the suits because they are the acme of
smartness for summer "trotting" cos
tunes. Imagine little skirts of cham
payne colored cloth made with tight fit
ting Jokes and the skirts plated from
there down SO that they make pretty
flare. The jackets are blouse, with
black velvet revers, cuffs and buttons,
and beneath them are worn blouses of
white taffeta with smart touches of
black The hats, of course, are black

We've had the awfulest time. Our
other house was larger than this one,
and we haven't nearly room enough
for all the furniture. There is that
birds eye maple buffet that was one of
my wedding presents from pa--the din
| ing room isn't large enough for it, and
we have to store 1t in the carriage house
oc sell 1T, and you can get nothing for
such things at secondhand places. Then
there's that table, you know, that old
Aunt Susan, my husbands mothers
cousin, used to have in her bedroom

| hard you can't scratch it with a pin.
and one day when Buzzwuzz's mother
was gone out I yanks that table into
the back yard, and there 1 found it was
broken. l just gave it a little twist and
| one leg came off, and now that will go
| into the carriage house, too, and I've
| got rid of some more old trash. / says
to Buzzwuzz, I says, We ought to have
an auction sale and sell off a lot of your
peoples old stuff that you've got here
But Buzzwuzz wouldn't hear of it be-
cause of his mothers feelings My feel

She paused for breath. The professor
glanced longingly at the door and half
rose. The lady made OBTAINING ges-
ture and continued her entertaining and
| instructive conversation. She had found
her second wind.
Then there's the little pink bureau

my tenth birthday, and I thought it
was the prettiest thing ever saw. My
tenth birthday was Cousin Anne Bally-

mothers they made us dresses just
alike. They We're little red dresses
trimmed with black velvet laid on in
deep scallops and crosses. They trim
girls dresses just that way now, only
they put in a big lot of tuckings and
shirrings that our frocks didn't have.

veilings with Lace to Match.

The other day at a reception 1 was
struck by the number of coffee colored
veilings trimmed with lace dyed to
match. Certainly never before have
things been SO carefully matched. If
one has gray suit one must be in gray
from head to foot; in tan it is the same
thing. Even the laces and embroider-
les match.
The gown in the sketch shows what I
mean. 1t is of coffee colored yelling,
with a blouse coat worn over a soft
cream colored waist and hat of coffee
colored satin staw trimmed with a
brush aigret. Notice particularly the
wide cape collar of renaissance lace
dyed to match and edged with wide silk
fringe, the sleeves which puff to the
elbow and the long graceful cuffs. The
skirt is very simple and effective, mere
ly plated and stitched down to within
few inches of the bottom. The lower
edge of the skirt is also embellished
with three folds of the goods Stimulating
ruf1les.

of their own heads is Mrs. G. Oliver Ise-

the breeze and the salt spray as much
as her husband, the famous yachtsman,
does. In the great races of the Defender

For SEASIDE VISITORS.
New York.

The human body weighs pound in
the water, and a single chair will carry
two grown persons-that is, it will keeI
the head above water which is all that
is necessary when it is a question OF
life and death.
One hand placed upon stool or chair
or small box or piece of board will
keep the head above water, while the
two feet and the other hand may be
used as paddles to propel the body to-
ward the shore.
A person unfamiliar with the buoyant
power of water will naturally try to
climb to the top Of the floating object
on which he tries to save himself.
This often happens when pleasure
boats capsize.
All Immediately want to get out of
the water on to the top of the overturn-
ed or half filled boat, and all are drown
ed except those whom the wrecked craft
will wholly bear up. If they would sim
ply trust the water to sustain ninety
nine hundredths of the weight of their
bodies and the disabled boat the other
hundredth they might be saved under
most circumstances.

DIS The wife'S end of the business is
to manage him and make the home
happy
She ought to put as much energy and
vested capital into her department as
the man exercises in his business. A
strict attention to home duties on the
part of the woman usually results in a
happy household unless she makes the
fatal mistake of managing every other
branch in the home excepting the man.
There are two motives in managing a
man. One is to manage him to ones
own selfish ends; the other is to use
tact and discretion to the end of MAX
ing better and happier man of him.
People rarely quarrel over the large
and important issues of life, but they
will fight to the death about the things
that don't matter. In most families
there. is some small bone of discord
which crops up again and again at ev-
cry meal-a mean, contemplate cause
of strife that none agrees to bury de.
Gently once and for all. Between hus.
band and wife some petty difference
gradually grows which touches each on

WHAT WOMEN CAN DO.

A number of women in Pittsburg
have inaugurated new method of i'm
proving the slums of that city. They
have organized and incorporated a
stock company capitalized at $4,000,
and they are to build model tenement
house at some suitable place in the
slums, fill it with typical residents of
the neighborhood and proceed to give
an object lesson in sanitary living. The
company is called the Tenement Inn
provement company, and the capital
named in it's application for charter
is likely to be materially increased.
The directors named are Misses Alice
Holdship, Ann S. Phillips and Mary E.
Blackwell, and with them are associat-
ed other women interested in municipal
