With the passing of April we are plump on to the summer season, to use very common expression but I like to Dc little common at times. don't you? The wise woman already has a pretty fair idea of where she is going for the cum mer. and she plans her wardrobe ac- cordinely. It is only the unwise one who does not think ahead. and as result she has a lot of the wrong clothes and no money left to buy any of the right sort: so she spends her summer in trying to make what she has fit in and in enjoy ing the well dressed woman. For the tenefit of the women who made n1is- takes last year, let me see if I can't give bit of advice.
 It makes all the difference in the world whether ono goes to the mountains or to the seashore. The mountains are usually as hot as hot can be in the day time and So cool at night that muslins arc often out of the question. The sea- shore Is of a more even temperature. It 1t starts out cool in the morning it stays cool, and vice versa, and you really have some idea of what to put on.
 "The Thing" for the Shore.
 White and colored linen coat and skirt costumes are "the thing for day sea- shore wear Three white costumes and one colorcd linen costume will do very well for one season. There Is no need of accumulating too many things. None

Tn the Mountains.

Now, for daytime wear in the moun- tains you want something much thinner. Gingham shirt waist suits are always dainty. and-but perhaps this consider alton will not affect you-men approve of them. A lilac and white striped ging- ham made with a daintily plaited ski; t and waist and finished off with a deeper shade of violet taffeta collar and eelt- this, I say combined with a large stray lat wreathcd with violets has been known to create considerable havoc. Pink and white is quite as efficacioIs on the right girl.
 Then there are the dimity dresses. which are quite inexpensive and alm ost as dainty as muslin. They come this year in all the old fashioned lowered de- signs. both prim and sprawly. These dimity gowns will be worn on warm days instead of the more mannish shir- waist suit. This season. at least, you must re- member we are all that is clingng. fem mine and Gemure.
 Nor must you by any chance leave out of consideration the white gown of fine material trimmed with little insertions. This may be washed. but 1t is sheer enough to allow a hint of blue ribbon on the corset cover to snow-er-I beg your pardon for mentioning it. but while We are on the subject I might as well add that there is another bow which shows on the left side of the founce of the lace petticoat
 You see, these dresses are made un- lined.

 The old English inns are fast passing away. The other day the King of Prus- sia'' hostelry at Flnchley was torn down.

 Insurance experts estimate that there Is a salvage of from fifty to seventy-f1ve per cent. upon the sky scrapers whose structures were of steel encased in f1reproof tile, that successfully withstood the terrible test of the Baltimore fire. These buildings were constructed for ordinary com mercial purposes, sufficiently freproof

to withstand the ordinary fires that one expects in cities. They could have been made to have absolutely with stood even such anf awful test as that Baltimore fire but people would not pay the price. Yet the cost of the steel and f1reproof tile barely reached l2 per cent of the total value of the buildings pr let us say twenty-fye per cent. more than if those, structural parts had been of wood and for that small difference in cost has there been affected q salvage . of 75 per cent. Certainly a splendid vindication of the theories of fireproQf tile protection. Now then, if people will listen to the experts and' go step further and make their windows, and doors, and finished floors and glass. and other such parts as freproof as the struc- tural steel and tile and the outher cas- ings of brick, instead of granite and marble, then will we have buildings as severe a test as that given these skyscrapers at Baltimore. without suf- fering any damage whatsoever.

When Sister Thinks.
 It's a dangerous meditation If sister happens to be a girl of spirit: it's a de- pressing meditation if she isn't. It's an unnecessary one anyway. Why put old CT sister in a position where she has nothing to Go but think? Thinking is awfully bad for. woman: there are some people who will tell you that noth '3g but harm has ever come of it. It is much better to give sister a chance to smile and wear her pretty gowns.
 Dangerous?
 \ Yes. but think of the "worser' dan- ger. oh, ye forehanded parents! Sup pose a man-any old sort of man. the poorest specimen-should happen by ac- cident through a mockery of fate into that peaceful haven of manlessness- what would happen. Would sister bounce upon him?
 Would she! =.
 Yes. and fall in love with him to boot Why? Because he is so attractive? No stupid: I told you he was a no account measly sort of man. not half as good a. the worst man in her train the winter | time. No; simply and solely because ht gave her the one chance she coveted o wearing her pretty gowns!

THE FOOL AND MONEY

Too much money often makes a
man fool.
1t does the same thing for II nation.
Now there is Panama.
When the United States handed
out several millions in cash to that
little nation of mongrels it was freely
predicted that an era of dissipation
was about to dawn on that republic.
The prediction has come true; the
dcbauch is on.
The thing hasn't reached the
drunk-in-the-gutter stage yet, but
the symptoms of Il jag are unnistak-
able. The government has appropri-
ated $4,000 to send Gen. Huertas on
tour Of investigation. He is eX-
pected to look over the military es-
Establishments Of other nations and
return home bloated with Ideas.
OF course the general will have a
good time while the money lasts.
He will see Europe and be seen, and
if there is anything that Europe en-
joys better than a man with money
to cremate, it has not been named
yet.
France alone could give him run
for the entire bunch of money and
even force him to call for more.
And no man from an infant repub-
lie like Panama, having his coun-
try's welfare at heart, could miss
the marvellous military system at
Monte Carlo. where a fortune melts
like strawberry ice cream in July.
Panama has about Ms much need
of IA military system as Switzerland
has of navy. There will be no very
important disturbance in that coun-
tW. in which the real policeman
Uncle Sam-will not have a say.
A New York paper has wisely re-
marked that Panama would have
shown a glimmering of sense had
she invested the money in educating
a squad of doctors in the best
methods of fighting tropical diseases.
To go further, $5O,OOO put into ed
ucation would do more for Panama
than the investment of every dollar
gotten from the United States in
uniforms and guns.
