Men Who Please the Average
Woman.

Plain women, exxagerating their own
lack OF comeliness, ridiculously overvalue
this quality in men. With them hand
some man has his case halt-pleaded.
An unlearned woman values brainy
man, whereas, brilliant woman tails
madly in love with and marries fool
The average woman likes her husband
or lover to surpass her in knowledge
inst sufficient to save the situation when
she needs assistance. She likes an avail
able prompter. She wants him to have
a handsome head only If the Lord wills.
A business head she prizes far more.
She admires determination; but the
man who frankly confesses himself Ill
error is thrice man in her eyes. An ef-
feminite man she hates as only normal
creature can it's antithesis. He who con
ouers her is he who conquers himself.
The more masterful he is-this side OF
brutality-the more she is convinced OF
his superiority. She adnires man who
dresses carefully, whose shoes, ties, col
lars are as they should be, but the glass
offashion man earns her contempt.
Generosity il admirable in her estima-
tion: but waste. ALL is an abomina
ton. Ambition she appauds; but it
must not blot out Loye. Rather din
ner of herbs where Love is than ban
ouet whereat Ambition is chief god
The everyday woman erected a shrine
unon which is placed the small god Eros;
him will she never see replaced.
A demonstrative man, who also is
manly man, is a miracle. Woman is
vocal creature Spoken love is the only
sort in which she has any abidind faith
Wise is he who combats not this femn-
unity, but lays up for kindly use an as
sortment of endearing adjectives. As
long as woman believes herself lovely
and beloved in one mans eyes, he will
Continue to be the one man-otherwiset
Perhaps otherwise!
He who is up to-date rejoices the lem
;n,ne mind. If she is ught as whole,
woman is inquisitive. She cannot be in
the movement outside as can man, but
nothing that goes on is to trivial to be
of interest to her. Moreover. while
male busybody is worse than an infidel
he who remembers details and piquant
"gosspettes" finds himself tavorite

Is It Worth While?

sis it worth while that we jostle brother,
Bearing his load on the rough road of life
Is it worth while that we jeer at each other,
In blackness of heart that we war to the
knife?
God pity us all in our pitiful strife
"God pity US all as we jostle each other;
God pardon us all for the triumphS we feel
When fellow goes down meath his load on
the heather
Pierced to the the heart; Words are keener
And mightier far for woe than for veal.
"Were it not well in this brief little journey
On over the isthmus, down into the tide,
We give him a fish instead of serpent,
Ere folding the hands to be and abide
Forever and aye in dust at his side?
"Look at the roses saluting each other;
Look at the herds all at peace on the plain
Man, and man only, makes war on his
brother,
And laughs in his heart at his peril and
pain;
Shamed by the beasts that go down on the
'"ls it worth while that we battle to humble
Some poor fellow down into the dust?
God pity us all! Time eft soon will tumble
All of US together, like leaves in gust,
Humbled, indeed, down into the dust"

Correspondence of The Journal
The "ready-to-we wear" hat is now an
institution, and this season the choice
Is more extended than ever, as some
styles are quite severe while others are
very ornate. Large or medium sized
shapes predominant; many are round,
with fiat crowns, The pointed toque Tor
boat hat) has gained in favor, the ordi-
nary turban connot be displaced, and the
broad brimmed summer sailor reappears
in fall garb. A large shape turning up
at one side, the Continental" and the
jaunty Tyrolean, with smart cockade
at one side, about completes the list.
Materials are felt, combinations of che.
nile and narrow felt braid, or of chenille
throughout, velvet, shirred silk, or in
some cases entirely of fiat plumage.
Pompons, cockades, quilts and buckles
are unsparingly used.
THE HIGH CROWNED
hat, with broad brim and trimmed with
large ostrich feathers, is the dress hat
for the coming season. Silk velvet is
the leading material, although many are
of felt, or SHRED silk with velvet bind
ing. A cap crown of corded silk gives
variety, but is necessarily high, and in
harmony with the prevailing color.
Turbans, toques, or fiat crowned shapes
will be worn to a considerable extent,
but the latter style is on the wane, and
is scarcely judicious purchase.
BRoADCLOTH
is certainly the leading material of the
season, captivating feminine fancy by
its variety and the beauty of its soft
folds, besides atfording a charming
foundation for lace, appliques, spark
ling embroideries, plated silk or various
other fiat trimmings. 1t will be used
for street. dinner, reception, and for
evening costumes The pastel shades"
will be in special demand; and certain
ly shoppers cannot pass q few hours
more pleasantly than in looking over
the beautiful varieties shown by Lord
& Taylor, aggregating one hundred and
tifty-fve shades. Some of the new
tints are strawberry, lockwood, nut
brown, newgreen, mahogany, ruby, Su-
matra, mocha, Togo, onion and Indian
red. A singular fancy has develop
ed in the appropriation of mems suit
materials for ladies tabernacle dresses
and consequently these fabrics have
from this fact gained additional varie-
ty.

is of instep length, and shows no spec

consideration,

This handsome street toilette, taken
from The Delineator, consisting of
Samurai jacket and kilt skirt, are here
depicted in cafe au lait crepe de Chine
cloth. The jacket and sleeves are in
one, and collar facing is a pleasing
adjunct. The skirt, formed of thirteen
gored, plated sections, is given in
round, short round and instep lengths,
JACKETS FOR EARLY FALL WEAR
vary as to length and shape The
jaunty little eton energies from the
workroom with short skirt at the
back, which is fastened closely around
the waist, and together with other
slight changes is scarcely recognizable.
The Norfolk jacket has also been
eautified. A long loose coat, one
rather shorter, a half-tight jacket,
leave no reason for complaint as to the
lack of variety. The newest outdoor
garment, however, is the long redingote,
a garment requiring tailor's highest
skill, and really suitable only for those
blest with fine figures.
TRIMMINGS
include every variety of embroidery,
often combined with lace. Cloth, silk
or velvet applique work, in rich and
novel designs are among handsome
move tiles. VERONA CLARKE.

Sparkling and delightful beyond
praise is Ben Blows sketch, 'The Lad

with portraits of nineteen of the TWEEN
ty-two members of the board of lady
managers, in the National Magazine
for September. Wittily and sympathet-
ically, in their own words, he depicts
the woman real estate agent, the wom-
an banker, the woman promoter, the
woman politician and other interesting
modern types represented in the group
of women chosen from all America to
represent the social side of the Worlds
Fair. Joe Mitchell Chapple fills forty
pages with other Worlds Fair gossip
of art, of industry, of amusement and
of picturesque personalities, illustrating
his letter with scores of odd and attrac-
tive pictures.

HUNDREDS
OF CATTLE
Ranges around Sucker Pond Well
Occupied.

Few people know what a quantity of
stock is being pastured this summer
on the ranges around Sucker Pond in
Woodford and Stamford. A large
part of the land is woodland but
there are numerous meadows and open
places where there is plenty of good
feed.
The stock is in charge of Fred Wood
ward and VIM. Pike but is owned by
many different persons. 1t consists of
'4SS head of homed cattle over 50horses
and nearly a thousand sheep. Pike
remains on the mountain all the time
looking after the stock.
Every morning the sheep are round
ed up to see that the bears have not
gotten away with any of them over
night and as there are still plenty of
bears in that section this is quite an
important part of the work.

Russian and japanese Armies
Close Together,
BIG BATTLE EXPECTED
Three Hundred Thousand Men in

East.
BIG BATTLE EXPECTED

LONDON, June 2S.-Advices from st.
Petersburg say that report from
Lieutenant General Sucharon confirms
the belief that the great decisive battle
OF the campaign between General ku-
ropatkin's main army and the armies
of Generals Kuroki and Oku is immi-
Dent The three armies probably ag-
gregate 100000 men, and their out
posts are In touch all along the line.
The Japanese evidently tried to draw
Kuropatkin as far south as possible,
holding out as an incentive Il check TO
the advance of Oku's main army.
Meantime Oku swung sharply TO the
eastward to join Kuroki toward the
Chapan pass, Kurold at the same time
moving strong force by the right
flank toward Haicheng
The main Japanese advance contin-
ues along the main Fcngwangcheng.
Liaoyang road. avoiding the Maotien
pass by detour to the northward.
The advance at all points is being at
tended by constant skirmishing.
Nothing is known here Of the exact
point at which Kuroputkin's main
force is concentrated, though it is be
lieyed that n large part of the Lao
yang force has been moved 10 a point
between Kinchau and Tatchekiao.
According to dispatches from Ia
tchekiao, a large force has pushed
southwark from Tatchekiao against
Oku. While Kuropatkin is thus ex-
tending himself the japanese, with
great mobility, seem to be trying to
concentrate for the purpose of striking
the Russians in flank and rear
A brief dispatch from Rear Admiral
Without, naval commander at Port Ar
thur, throws little additional light on
the sea fight off Port Arthur. The ad-
mlralty and the emperor are awaiting
further details with the same eager
ness as the general public. The latter
for the first time received information
through the medium of foreign tele-
grams that a fight had occurred.
The loss of three vessels of the Port
Arthur fleet is admitted to be severe
blow, especially If not purchased by
greater loss to the japanese than re-
ported by Vice Admiral Togo.

A NEW KINGSLEY STORY,
New York Man Held On Suspicion Of Connsc-
ton With Affair.

New York, June y. The mysterious
disappearance of Henry Baxter Kings
ley of Rutland, November IA last, is
recalled by the arraignment in the
Tombs court of Frank L. Stewart, who
was held for examination on the
charge of being a suspicious person.
Stewart was arrested on the strength
of story told the police by Mrs
Hall of Paterson, N. j., who said
that a man she believed to be Kings
ley was brought to her house soon af-
ter Kingsley's reported disappearance
by two men, one of whom had rented a
room OF her the day before, The man
who rented the room she says was
Stewart.
According to the police Mrs Hall
declares that she does not want any
part of the $40, 900 that was offered for
Kingsley or information regarding
him, but merely wishes to see justice
done, Nothing in her story indicates
what became of Kingsley, If it were he
after he disappeared at her house.
The police are investigating Mrs
Halls story.
