The Pilgrim.
Nothing can be done in dressing sack
which cannot be done equally well in
shirtwaist, and there is as much freedom
in walking skirt as in a petticoat, though
the dressing sack lady who wears her petit
coat as an outer garment would indig-
nantly deny the fact. At some indefinite
stage of the habit, the skirt retires in favor
of the petticoat, and the resourceful young
woman who wore black sateen petticoat
with her shirtwaist all through a five-day
trip on lake steamer, because she didn't
want to spoil her good skirt was doubt
less slave TO the dressing sack habit when
she was at home.
There may be some subtle use for clothes,
the knowledge of which is religiously kept
from the many, but on the surface of
things 1t would seem that they were made
to wear, and If they soil too easily houses
might be kept cleaner at the expense of
shopping, matinees and women's clubs.
People are said to have their prototypes
in the animal world, and there is more
than an ordinary likeness between the I'M
corseted, dressing sack lady and the equal
ly comfortable jelly fish that remains upon
the beach when the tide goes out. AS to
the prevalence of the habit, consult the ice
man, the grocery boy, or the itinerant who
haunts back doors in the morning. Ask
the poStman whether the red-haired Slat-
tern in the pink dressing sack is mistress
or maid. Ten to one it isn't the maid. since
working for a living engenders a mighty

A Good Begonia.
Home and Flowers.

I1OIt anu IOWeTS.
Among all the begonias-and the list is
a long one-there is none more satisfactory
In all ways than the variety known as
argentea guttata. 1t is of as easy culture
as geranium. Anyone can grow it. and it
appears to be as much at home in the dwell
ing house as in the greenhouse. 1t is of
rapid growth. 1t has spreading rather
than an upright habit. A two or three
year-old plant is often four five feet
across, with dozens of stout stalks all sent
up from the roots of the plant. Its foliage
is long. sharply pointed, of a rich olive
on the upper surface, thickly spotted with
silvery white, while the lower side is
dull red. A well-grown plant is simply
magnificent, its foliage being far more at
tractive than that of most plants grown for
decorative purposes. But in addition to its
foliage 1T has most beautiful flowers, in
large, spreading clusters, a soft, pearly
flesh in color, passing to almost white.
To grow this begonia well give Ii soil
of loan, into which considerable leaf mold
and sand have been worked. Keep 1t out
of strong sunshine. 1t grows nearly all
the year around, therefore fertilizer can
be safely applied at any time. Those who
have trouble with metallica and other va
rieties shedding their leaves will find that
this sort will not give them any cause for
complaint. If 1 were to have but one
begonia it should be this one.

High Art in Plaster.

was inspecting some cheap plaster objects

AN EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT
THE STATE BOARD WILL HAVE A
CREDITABLE DISPLAY.
No Member Of the Board Of Education
VIII Receive Remuneration-Wil
Soon Begin Active Work.

The State Board of Education is deter
mined that Indianas educational exhibit at
the St. Louis exposition shall be a cred
liable display, and at yesterday mornings
meeting of the board the preliminary steps
toward making the exhibit were taken.
Senator Goodwine, chairman of the COM
mittee on education of the worlds fair
commission, met with the board in the
office of F. A. Cotton, superintendent of
public instruction. and asked that the de-
partment of education take charge of the
work of making the exhibit.
1t is the understanding that no member
of the board will be paid for services rem
dered in connection with this work and no
employee of the department of education
shall receive remuneration Should addi-
tional stenographers or clerks be needed in
the work they will be furnished by the COM
mission. 1t was decided to make an exhibit
of all the educational interests of Indiana,
including kindergarten work, elementary
education, secondary education and higher
education. The exhibit will also include the
technical institutes of the State, which will
take in the new institute to be established
here by winona people. There will also be
represented the School for Predetermined
Youth, the institute Tor the DeaI, institute
for the Blind. Girls Industrial School,
Boys Reform School and Indiana Reform
atory. A committee consisting of ]. n.
Study, of Fort Wayne. w. l.. Bryan, pres
ident of the State University, and Super
intendent Cotton was appointed TO go to ST.
Louis and ascertain how much space Indi-
ana will be allowed for her educational ex-
hibit. The committee will probably ask for
about 5000 feet. AS soon as II is ascer-
tanned how much space can be secured the
department of education will begin active
work and the different educational institu-
tons will be notified. 1t is stated that the
higher educational institutions, all church
colleges and the private normal schools of
the State will be asked to prepare exhibits

Collars of beading with tab ends down
the front, all run with medium-width velvet
ribbon, are being sold at one shop, two for
20 cents, which is at least one more than
anybody has right TO expect.
A dainty bit of a Swiss apron, with a
frill of cluny lace and insertion bands of
the lace edged by ribbon-run beading. is a
pretty thing for mademoiselle to slip on
over her afternoon frock when she wishes
to look particularly busy with her sewing
or embroidery.
Wide ribbons with flower designs make
pretty sashes for dainty organdie dresses of
plain colors. Almost all ribbons are selling
now at reduced prices. and even if ones

the ribbons away Tor another summer

SECOND CHINESE NIGHT.
Crush Not So Great, but the Entertain
ment Successful.


The second night of the Chinese roof gar
den entertainment at the Columbia Club
was not marked by the great crush that
attended the opening night, but the attend
ance was fully as large had been antici-
pated. The first night was guest night;
last night the entertainment was only for
the club members, their wives and women
friends.
The smaller crowd and the cooler wealth
er made the occasion all the more enjoy
able, as the force of attendants was better
able to handle the guests and see to their
comfort and pleasure. The features Of the
entertainment were similar to those of the
first night, although there were several
new numbers on the programme to furnish
variety.
The Chinese roof garden has proved the
most successful entertainment ever given
by the club and Chairman HI. c. Kahlo and
the other members of the entertainment
committee and Superintendent Hurley have
been made the recipients Of thanks and con-
CALCULATIONS from all sides.

One Mans Summer Diversion.


There is nothing half so queer as the
queer family habits men and women get
into and concerning which they seem ut
terly unconscious. lone of my chums has
taken up a crazy fad" remarked a young
society man, smoking under a tree on
suburban lawn, with his wife and several
other indulgent ladies nearby. II call him
Jack-the-f1y- killer but even rdicule does
not seem to reform him. Since he has got
into his new and beautiful summer home
he seems simply rabid about flies Going
over to call on Jack and his wife these
days is really society circus on a small
scale. If he meets us at the door he opens
the screen just crack and says: Here,
scoot in quick, so no flies will get in. How
are your Then the visit is made gay by his
abnormal alertness in the matter of flies.
No matter who is talking to him, or what
the topic is, his eyes are rambling around
his wifes lovely rooms. Suddenly he arises
with jerk and says: Excuse me just
moment-there's fly He keeps some

ne goes after that fly. I've seen him climb
on chair, bang at the ceiling with the
wire weapon and then crawl on the floor
to identify the wrecked body of the enc

up his duties as host.
What were you saying about Roosevelt?
You must pardon my dashing off after that
fly. They are such nuisance and my wife
hates them so. That makes twenty-five

Mrs. Jack says Jack gets up In the
night and bangs around the room in his
sleep-still chasing flies. When she wakes
him he goes back to bed saying: We'll,
heard fly anyway; If had got him that
would have been thirtythree.' She sees
how funny he is, but goodness, he doesn't
seem to see 1t at ALL 1 have urged her to
have him locked up somewhere until the
