A DAINTY CHEMISE.

handsome embroidery, Is very effect
i've.
White cloth wraps re extremely
chic, particularly those made with de-
tachable triple capes, lined with pale
blue silk and braided in white, and
perhaps a touch of blue. These are
really becoming and quite useful.
l have seen a most delightful white
linen wrap, the front and collar Of
which are trimmed with a curious
linen embroidery Of coarse make,
taking in several shades of dull red
and black. This is lined with a white
corded silk, and is further decorated
with some beautiful oxidized buttons.
There is a new make of coarse yak
lace, which forms a delightful ap-
plique trimming, and is quite in keep
ing with this kind of smart tailor-built
garment.
To avoid incongruity, our millinery
must receive careful attention. The
Breton sailor and the plateau shape in
coarse straw, chip and panama, have
been in favor all this summer; any
idea of hardness is dispelled by a
drapery of gauze, washing-net or lace
in the form Of a veil, arranged over
the brim.
The three-cornered hat is still con-
sidered smart, while the "marquise''
shape in chip and panama is once
again in favor. All such shapes of ex-
IRENE simplicity seem de rigueur with
the tailor-made frock.
Lovely specimens OF the kimono are
made of thick white satin, trimmed
with gold and silver gallon; satin cut
in this rather severe sty]s falls into
delightful folds by its own weight, and
q soft effect is obtained By Innings of
chiffon and lace.
A girl friend asked me questions re-
garding trousseau lingerie the other
day, and 1 will tell you something of
what told her. The girl who is to
be married of course wants everything
of the very incest, and to secure this
desired effect she should have her lin
gerie made of nainsook. Nothing else
is so good, nor will anything else wash
or wear so well. III the same connec-
ton ran across sketch of what I
consider charming nainsook chemise
suitable for. evening 1Uear. 1t is made
with little turnout points of lace in
sertion and embroidery, edged with
frills of lace. Straps of soft silk rib
bon pass over the shoulders, and are
fastened back and front with ribbon
rosettes.

A Turtle with a History

At Fillmore, a hamlet near Bellefonte.
Pa, Oscar Dunlap, farmer, while walk:
ing over his farm accidentally stumbled
over a large land turtle. On examining
it he found on it's shell artistically
carved the names of Gale H. Kepheart
and Ellis H. Williams, with the date of
1850. The lettering was almost as plain
as the day it was put on, more than half
century ago, when the now old gentle
men were young me together. All these
years the turtle has presumably been
slowly crawling around in that vicinity.
Mr.. Kepheart, although almost eighty
years of age, is still we'll and hearty and
is able to do fair days work on his
large farm, which is one of the best in
the county. The finding of the turtle
has brought to his mind many interest.

BIG CONCRETE STRUCTURE.
Building in Cincinnati, of the Sky
scrnpef Variety, Erected Ac- =
cording to New Idea.

A conspicuous example of new de-
parture in the construction of tall build
ings is furnished by just completed
structure in Cincinnati. The dimensions
are of sufficient magnitude to make the
test thorough one. The building is on
a corner lot 50x100 feet and it's height is
210 feet above the sidewalk, while the
basement goes IL feet lower in one part
and where the power is located, 20 feet.
The material of the edifice is almost en-
tirely- concrete, reinforced with twisted
rods of steel, which serve to take up the
tensile strain, the concrete being intend
ed to resist only the strains of compress
sion. This is rather bold advance
along the line of new idea, which, how
ever, has had some partial and favorable
tests in other places, notably in the or
deal OF the Baltimore fire.
There has not been, however, in the
Cincinnati building a complete disre-
gard of the conventionalities of the sky
scraper OF the steel and stone type which
has received such wide exploitation in
our large cities during the past dozen or
10 years, and veneerfng of marble with
glazed brick and terra Gotta ornamental.
ton conceals the novel characteristics
OF the structure. This was because the
owners or architects hardly had the
complete courage of their convictions.
and perhaps did not wish to advertise
too conspicuously their disregard of
precedents and prevailing methods. The
employment of material in the work is as
follows: The concrete is made of high
grade Portland cement with clean sand
OF various-sized grains and crushed
stone. 1t is made semi-fluid by mixing
with water, thus insuring adhesion to
the twisted steel bars. Wind bracing
has been carefully looked after. The
building in question has COMPOUNDED the
prophets of disaster, who predicted that
1t would never reach the height pre-
scribed in the plans, or if it did, it would
disintegrate, and fall to pieces by shrink
age cracks.

NOT OF THE IDLE RICH.
Notable Sons of Wealthy Americans
Who Do Not Fritter Away
Their Time.

Not all scions of wealthy families give
themselves over to the frivolities pre-
sumed to be the trademark of the
"400," says the Atlanta Constitution.
John Jacob Aston, for instance, spends
most of his spare time in studying and
experimenting in electrical science.
With fortune approximating $780,
100000 he finds no time for idleness.
He has developed system of marine
turbines which old engineers say are
destined to be of great practical value;
and while he has taken out patents on
these inventions, he has declared that
all the benefits of his discovery are to be
freely given to the world.
Cornelius Vanderbilt insisted upon
learning the trade of locomotive build
ing by working in the shops of the Van
derbilt railroads. He has invented a
fire box which is said to have practically
reVolutionized the freight locomotive,
and now this is being used on a number
of the principal railroads of the coun-
try.
J. Pierpont Morgan's only son, who is
named after him, worked for several
years as clerk in the different depart
ments of the great Morgan banking
house before he was taken into his
fathers Office to learn the elements of
higher finance. He is a serious and
Woodworking business man, and is now
the practical head of the London house.
George Gould is looked upon as one of
the best business men in America He
was given absolute control of the Could
fortune upon his fathers death, and has
doubled 1t. He is in every sense a man
OF ahalrs, and he takes no more time for
loafing than his father did. Howard
Gould is, like his elder brother, serious
business man not given to frivolity.
Peter Cooper Hewitt inherited for
tune from his father, Abram S. Hewitt,
but he has devoted himself to the study
of electrical science with magnificent re-
suits. His Cooper Hewitt mercury
lamp Is not only practical but COM
mercial success. He is devoting himself
now to the problems of electrical power
transmission and to wireless telegraphy.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr Harry Payne
Whitney, John d. Spreckles, Clarence
Mackay, George Croker, John R. Drex-
Ell and James H. Hyde are cited as other
illustrations Of the way the sons of very
rich Americans are fully meeting the
responsibilities placed upon them. Each
In his particular sphere has demon
strated that he is fully capable of hold
ing his own place in the lists of captains
OF industry.
Such men are good citizens. Their ca
reers put to shame the many feather
Drained and pinheaded sons of noveau
richie fathers who seem to think that
1dleness and frivolity are synonymous
with gentility.

also an advantage i'll leaving the
