FLOWER GOWN POPULAR.
Each Dress as It Is Fitted and Trim
mings Added Receives
It's Name.

The flower gowns are SO numerous
this year that one dressmaking estab-
lishment has adopted the expedient Of
naming each gown before 1t goes out.
and the gowns ale billed In that man
ner. Each dress as Il Is ftted and the
trimmings added receives It's flower
name, says the Brooklyn Eagle. A
gown for a Washington woman is
called a pond lily aress. II is in
green and white, and a great glossy
green taffcta sash Is tied around the
waist All is cool In the green and
white tones, with a great string OF
gold beads around the neck for re-
lief.
And, speaking OF gold beads. one
may digress long enough 10 say that
beads are worn in the day time as
Wen as In the evening. and there are
great strings Of gems OF all kinds.
The buying of strings OF beads is
considered a good investment these
days, and women who wish TO enllyeu
their costumes are investing in strings
OF silver, crystal and duh thick pink
fish enamel.
A girl who is always exceedingly
well dressed is now at work upon her
trousseau. She Is buying material for
the little Dutch dresses which are so
much the style. II takes eight yards
in the wide materials and from 16 10
20 In the narrower stuffs.
The Dutch dresses are nearly all OF
instep length. and are all made round.
with the fullness evenly distributed.
The skirts are gathered or are plalt-
ed, or are so arranged that the hips
are extremely full, with the fullness

Various Ways in Which May Be Con-
tracted Very Annoying
Ailment.

II a person all day with wet
feet OF damp clothing, or goes out IN
inclement weather lnsufficiently
clothed, lies on the ground before Il IS
thoroughly warm and dry, sits In a
draft to cool on. or does some other
equally imprudent thing, he will not
need to wonder II he catches cold. He
will know exactly what has caused
him to take cold. II is a plain viola
ton of the common sense laws of
health, says Medical Talk for the
Home
But quite often a person takes cold
and cannot tell just why. He has
been very careful not TO expose him
self In any foolish way, he has violat.
ed no hygienic law. SO far as he
knows, and yet .he finds himself every
day taking cold Perhaps Il may be
just slight cold but nevertheless
very annoying He becomes exceed.
ingly careful and watchful and yet In
spite Of all HIS solieltude he is daily
taking cold
In nearly every case OF this kind
the trouble will be found to be tha,
the person Is oyer-exerting himself
He IS doing more work than he
should He is fatigued. exhausted.
and his bodily vitality Is kept at the
lowest ebb.
This renders him very susceptible
to taking cold The body is too tired
and exhausted to resist the least un-
toward influence. and cold Is easily
taken. II is generals in the evening
that the cold makes its appearance
II may be, after good nights rest.
II will disappear, but after another
day Of exhausting toll the cold agaIr
makes It's appearance.

WAS AN AWFUL DISCOVERY
And Yet, When the Truth Became
Known 1t Wasn't So Bad
as Supposed.

The advent OF the telephone in the
rural districts has introduced an ele-
ment OF freshness and variety into the
monotony OF farm life that makes an
instrument a real necessity TO every
household. Many incidents attest the
adaptability OF the instrument in com
mon use in the country towns and ham

between eighty and ninety years of age.
There have been SOB deaths in the asso-
citation since its organization in 1863 the
last being that of +. NJ. Detweiler, one of
the most prominent of local printers, who

The photograph which exhibited at
the worlds fair in ST. Louis has hung on
the walls of the associations quarters in
the Corcoran building, 18th and Pennsyl-
vania avenue, for many years When 1t
was decided to send it to the exposition
Benjamin w. Reiss. recording secretary of
the association, was chosen to bear it

In very satisfactory manner, and since
his return has remarked that he was proud
to see this photograph of so many of the
capital city's best men of the past and
present given such a prominent place. All
Washingtonian5 who saw the picture were
interested in it. and this was especially true
of members of the older families, many of
whom recognized faces of friends, and
some of relatives in the group.

citation now living; but there are few
whose identity is a mystery, at least to
Secretary ReisS and many others, with
whom a Star reporter talked in regard to
the matter. This situation is said to be "a
good joke on the Oldest Inhabitants"
Probably the most interesting figure In
the group is that of the woman in the CEN
ter on the first step. She is not numbered
like the rest, but the name Mrs Balman' =
as nearly as it can be made out-appears In
the list below. No one has yet been able to
tell just exactly who she was or how she
came to be in group of the Oldest Inhabi-
tants, surely a very strange place for a
woman to be, 1t is argued.
1t has been suggested that she was rela-
tive of one of the men sitting near her, and
statement makes her close relative of Mr.
William Anderson in the picture. Secretary
Ress is sure that somebody must know
who she was. and hopes that person will
soon be met by him, and he has grown very
curious.
The numbering of the members of the
group is confused in some instances and
it is quite possible that some of the names
are wrong The records of the associa-
ton are not such as to throw much light
on the mysteries of the picture. 1t would
be a great favor, says Secretary Reiss, if
any corrections or additions to the facts
believed to be known, should be brought
to the notice of the officers of the asso-
citation.
The officers in 1875, as they are given
under the photograph were DIR. John b.
Blake president; DR.. William Gunton, vice
president; Nicholas Callan treasurer, and
II. n. Easily, corresponding secretary.
