Was She Complimenteds

A certain literary woman, feeling
herself under an obligation to a very
eminent authoress and wishing to
show her appreciation, bought a box
OF candy, meaning to present it to the
novelist at the earliest opportunity. On
the same shopping excursion she
bought herself a box Of tooth powder,
the two purchases making packages
Of similar size and appearance. Then
she sought out her benefactress.
Have you a sweet tooth?" she in
quired and presented one Of the neat

was accepted gracefully, and the donor
departed, much gratifed at the ac-
complishment Of her act Of recogni-
ton. When she got home she I'M

Button. az Hat Trimmings.

One of the latest ideas in millinery
is to trim a straw hat with painted
buttons and nothing else. The straw
used is most fanciful in character and
closely resembles coarse lace. Decora-
tive as it is, it requires very little
adornment, certainly not more than a
row Of very handsome hand painted
buttons provides. placed at intervals
upon the brim. and in appearance very
much like the large velvet pastil]es
used in this way not long ago. Any
amount Of ingenuity may be exercised
to produce unique buttons, and as we'll
Rs hand painted ones silver, steel and
jeweled openwork mes may be used.
Moreover, there is everything to be
said for the new cockade buttons made
of quilted silk or lace round a fat CEN

had in his establishment some horses
which were suffering from carbolic
poisoning, and he asked for oil to be
given as an antidote. 1t was only the
unexpected success Of the treatment
which caused it to be discovered that
a happy mistake had been made and
that turpentine had been administered
instead of oil. A few days later a
blacksmith who was unconscious from
carbolic poisoning was similarly treat
ed with satisfactory results.

Some people long for lemonade
And some for fancy drinks
And some for soda-With the aid
OF sundry wicked winks.
But, when the sun is fierce and high.
It's then my fancies turn
To buttermilk-'tis then 1 sigh
For nectar from the churn.
Somewhere on earth there still must be
A spring house deep and low,
Half hid beneath g willow tree
Whose boughs sweep to and fro,
And whisper to the rills that gush
Between the roots and turn
To loiter in the Swallowed hush
Where stands the sweating churn.
A dipper hangs Upon the wall
To rob that soothing hoard
But, better. better yet than all.
Perhaps there Is a gourd!
No votary has ever poured
Libations from an urn
Like buttermilk held in a gourd,
Raised from the rOomy churn!
All, can there be a liner thing?
It's sweet as honey dew.
The water ripping from the spring
Is laughing back at you,
While merrily it drips and drips
Through watercress and fern
You taste the tang upon your lips
OF nectar from the churn.
Forgotten then are drafts Of wine
That all the senses cloy.
And you your happy O resign
To deep drawn breaths of joy.

Has one glad truth to learn
That buttermilk Is liquid bliss

since the civil war the surviving vet
Grams who fought in the Union army
assembled today in annual encamp-
ment, gathering in Boston.
The encampment of the veterans,
as well as of the subsidiary organiza-
Itions, including the National Women's
Relief corps, the National Daughters
of Veterans, National Sons of Veter-
ans and other organizations, was for
flag was see everywhere, and red,
white and blue bunting was shown
from the fronts of business houses,
hotels, theatres, newspaper offices and
residences from one end of the city
to the other. There were Is events
scheduled for today, the principal of
which was the parade of the union e
prisoners of war, Massachusetts naval
brigade, jackies and marines from the
warships in Boston harbor and Others.
OF this parade the men of the Grand
Army of the Republic were to be spec
tators. Their own big parade walls to
come on Tuesday, with business ses-
sions later in the week.
Commander-in-Chie John C. Black
of the Grand Army today assumed
active command of the great encamp-
ment. A conservative estimate of the
people in this city on account of the
encampment placed the number at
100, 900, with the likelihood Of another
100, 900 for the G. A. r. parade tomor-
row.
Parade Reviewed.
Today's parade was scheduled to
move at IL O'Clock. The chief a
shall was Captain Don Reid, United
States navy. The parade started at
the corner of Commonwealth avenue
and Arlington street and passed
through the principA downtown
streets. At the start, where the dec
orations are of particular appropriate,
and beauty, the column was re
viewed by Governor John L. Bates,
with members of his staff. At city
hall Mayor Patrick A. Collins and the
city council reviewed the sailors and
the veterans, while the procession
passed in review before Chief Marshal
Reid at the corner of Beacon and
Charles streets. 3
One of the striking features of the
day was the reception which Governor
held in honor of a party of dis.
southerners, all ex-confed-
crate officers who are attending the
encampment.

termittently seen; the night is so warm that
even coats are laid aside-and this is the audi
forum and the audience.
From the hidden orchestra the music begins
to come, and a spell seems to fail everywhere.
Then the play begins and man may write
the description of the wonderful beauty of that
wooded hillside while the calciums play here
and there it all the scene develops.
The legend is eracted; the Hamadryads break
from the trees through bark carefully fixed
there, and seem all real. Apollo, Meledon, all
the characters appear to be unearthy beings
suddenly born out of the woods, and there grows
out of all this a mysticism that one cannot for
get in all his lifetime. Well spoken the lines,
we'll sung the solos and the choruses and finally
it all eliminates in such brilliant illumination
OF the woods such marvellous shades and tints
earth and tree and sky that it makes ones
nerves tingle with kind of ecstasy which is

Then Care is destroyed and with dirge and
solemn tread long procession Of weird, cowled
figures marches down the redwood aisles and
forms a circle round the funeral pyre from
which, when Care is burned, there bursts wild
flash and of fireworks that signify the
birth of Joy. There is wonder that the vtsi-
tor she who has never Bohemian
midsummer links before goes almost wild.
There can hardly be anything like it anywhere
else, for Nature has given other place such
wonderful trees, and they play a large part in
the effect; not only in their impressive
ness, but in the pictures they make possible in
the night.
After the high links" there comes what is
called low jinks." which is devoted to fun,
and includes a vaudeville entertainment based
on some thread of plot, sometimes a travesty of

needs to eat and drink. large number of the

and spend it in the grove. Those who choose
may remain there one week after the "jinks,"
as we'll. On the links" day a special train
